    I have a horrible cold. Good thing that there is nothing unhealthy here or i would have eaten it. My nose is rubbed raw !!!9785;
    Currently its all chicken stock cubes made up in a mug or fruit teas.
    I had a nice steak for dinner though.
    I might have to have a sick day tomorrow to avoid the client catching it.

    Hello, please may I join the last half of this challenge? My weight has yo-yo'd over the last 20 years and I really need to get a grip before I hit 50! Please may I go for 6lbs loss, so 1lb per week?
    I have put some overnight oats in the fridge, so that's breakfast sorted. Lunch is lo chicken from tonight's tea, and I will have a large green salad with it.
    Thank you

  • This weekend has been a bit of a write off. Wedding last night and drank too much wine/had too much beige at the buffet. My stomach was not happy and I spent most of the night rushing to the toilet...

    Today started well but has disolved into Rocky road, rich tea biscuits and a hot chocolate.
    Back on it tomorrow! Need to stay focussed now my goal is within sight. Hoping for a 2lb loss this week.

    Hi,
    Thank you for adding me to the thread, much appreciated.
    Stood on the scales this morning and was horrified, so I definitely need to eat better.

    B - overnight oats, eaten at work in two stages this morning
    L - 2 skinless chicken thighs marinated in soy, ginger and chilli, half a plate of green salad with 1/5th curry loaf (old SW recipe)
    D - beef stir fry strips, stir fry veg, angel hair noodles.
    S - apple, 2 satsumas

    I definitely need to drink more - only had three cups of tea all day, so busy at work after having a weeks leave. Managed to resist the never ending supply of biscuits we always seem to have in the office, so a small victory there!

    Afternoon All

    WI today and it is +1lb.

    Not a surprise as last week was half term, pancake day, valentines and DD's 16th birthday.

    B: lo carb granola, berries and skim
    L: Morrisons salad bar as needed to collect a parcel
    D: lasagne made with turkey breast mince and spinach

    50 min dog walk

    Hi all,
    Today I made sure I had more to drink. At least six cups of tea and a diet cola.

    B - G0 ahead fruit slices
    L - 3 slices lean ham, 1/5th curry loaf, large green salad
    D - Pi33a Expre33 salad nicoise *
    S - apple and satsuma

    * unplanned evening out with friends.

    Will do overnight oats for tomorrow as those fruit slices were a bit naughty really.

    Morning all, I appear to be on the only one posting, so sorry for monopolising the thread :( None of my clothes fit me nicely and I'm really low about it, so keeping track on here will, I hope, keep me going with this.


    B - overnight oats - frozen berries, 35g oats, mullerl!ght vanilla
    L - jacket pot, micro pot of baked beans, green salad
    D - SW carbonara
    S - 2 satsumas, apple


    My fitness tracker said I did 45 mins walking yesterday (commuting, taking stairs etc.) Hoping for a bit more today as I have errands to run at lunchtime.
