The Lose Weight The Old Style Way Thread.

this is it - try putting something on the ryvita's like a sliced banana or low fat cheese spread? Banana are really good because you get the good kind of energy from them as well as the fibre from the ryvita. Other than that try rice cakes... dull and dry but for some reason I have developed a taste for them...

My red alert areas are bread and biscuits i make my own but pick at them terrilbly but everytime i eat bread just lately its made me feel bloated and pretty yukky so think i need to find something to replace the bread i have been eating ryvittas but i'm getting abit sick of them.

How about oatcakes. they are low GI, so they release energy slowly.

Morning ladies!
Breakfast: Granary toast and marmalade
Mid morning: Banana
Lunch: Hummus with veggie dippers, fruit salad
Evening: Was going to have shepherdess pie (veggie) but forgot to get it out of the freezer :mad: so might have egg, 'chips' (made the low fat way) and beans followed by yoghurt.
I will go to the gym at lunchtime - promise!!

Morning everyone Well done to everyone, don't worry wagonfallers, tomorrow is another day ! ( wonder where I got that quote from )

Had loads of probs with 'puter, net and the load rate of the forums last night so didn't get to post. Did ok yesterday - allowed myself a cornetto, packet of crisps and a diet coke yesterday afternoon - the diet coke tasted horrible and thats after 5 days of not drinking it, so I'm quite pleased.

Today is going to be a funny scrappy day. Have had breakfast of tea, wholemeal toast and real butter ( treated myself to some yesterday to cook some really fresh eggs given to me by a hen keeping friend ! ) but really am not sure about the rest of the days meals - got lots to do after I finish work but also v tired due to sleeping badly so don't know what I'm going to eat yet or when ! I really need to stock up on fresh fruit and veg, very low on those. hopefully get some excercise in dashing to and fro launderette and recycling point etc.

Even in a few days of sticking to OS healthier eating Ive noticed a few good things - eating a lot less bread for one ( no giving in to snacking on piles of toast at odd moments or making 2 rounds of sandwiches instead of one ), using less butter/spread, and I have amazed myself with the fact that I do actually have some willpower !

I can feel today is going to be really tough, I am hungry already and only just ate my lunch!
Breakfast was weetabix with skimmed milk, lunch vegetable broth, a plum, an apple and a yoghurt.
Not sure about tea yet, will have a think, whatever it is, there will need to be lots of it!

Hi everyone!

Well done to you all, there are some great losers here, and lots of tips and recipe ideas.

I didn't see this mentioned, apologies if it has been.... when dry frying isn't possible I use Fry Light. It's less than 1 cal per spray, and contains no cholesterol. A good healthy way to stop things sticking.

Good luck everyone, hope you have a good week.

Hi Everyone - glad that you are all so positive and reading the meal plans is great for me because I am always stuck for what to make and that's when I pick, which often leads to a binge. Today was supposed to be my morning for the gym, but DD1 overslept and missed the train to school (16 miles away) so I had to take her, which meant that I missed my slot ( I go to the local hospital's weight management gym and my slot is 9.30 - 11.30 - I don't think I could cope in a gym with slim people just yet), but I had a little walk and went to the shops on the way home which kept me busy and the pedometer going too. I bought enough food for a small army as one of my other faults is that when I am not feeding myself I tend to feed the cupboards!
Today's meals:
Breakfast (eaten in car) Ryvita cereal bar, apple
Snack 2 plums
Lunch Gammon steak, dry fried leeks and mushrooms, small bread roll
Dinner Bolognaise made with Be Good To Yourself Mince and steamed (thanks odds!) cabbage instead of pasta.
Have got an overflowing fruitbowl for other snacks if needed and will have a drink of warm soya milk with 1tsp horlicks at bedtime.

Do any of you make sugar free jelly? I have made it a couple of times but TBH found it had a strange taste. I thought it might be a good standby though.
