Well done all on your losses :T:T:T:T. The chart is looking good and not always easy this time of year with left over Christmas stuff

Blue Doggy you've just reminded I was going to buy red chicory, as I do like it griddled, it's now added to my shopping list

Sarah they do say no food should be banned as it just means we just want it more. Last Christmas I was given Belgium chocolates (those shaped as sea horses) and found when I left them on the table every time I walked past I was tempted so I decanted them to a lock & lock box and put out of sight and treated myself to one every night after dinner with a cuppa and that was enough to satisfy the cravens

Grey and drizzling day so I didn't do my planned walk into town which would have been four miles round trip, at least the kitchen and bathroom floors got washed

B -
L - 2 boiled eggs
D - roast venison, braised red cabbage with apple and fennel seeds, roast parsnips and turnips, French and runner beans
S - grapes & 2 squares of dark chocolate (a la Sarah)

Well done everyone :T there have been some great losses.

I started eating healthier last Monday when I returned to work, however, prefer my weigh in day to be Friday. So weigh in for Friday 10th and reporting a 1lb loss . Not a lot but I'm still pleased, back to what I weighed before Christmas.

Well done :T a loss is still a loss and a 1lb a week is over 3 stone a year .

Good evening everyone

Mrs motivated well done on the loss! :j

Brambling I like chicory in winter salads, and the red variety adds nice colour. I’ve never actually got round to cooking it, maybe this year I will.

I was very happy to find I’ve lost 3lbs as of this morning. It’s probably just the easy stuff, but welcome nonetheless.:j

Today:
B: porridge made with water
D roast lamb, cauliflower, spiced green beans and tomatoes, yogurt with raspberries
T: chicken with salad of white chicory, apple, and beetroot
S: one square of 85% dark chocolate

Wishing you all a good week

Brambling

Great start Blue Doggy :T.

I like the chicory either griddled or roasted with fennel and prefer the red, not sure if it tastes different to the white or if it's all in the mind :huh:

I went into town today with my sister, I needed to take something back (it was too big ) and she needed something for work. I did pick up a 'too good not to' two custard tarts for 20p I'm M&S I blamed her as I didn't anything in the food hall :cool:

B -
late lunch - 2 custard tarts and a cup of tea
D - gammon, air fried chips, LO veg from yesterday. Stewed apple and plums

Well done everyone to try and kick start my diet plans did the local park run yesterday nearly killed me but had great sense of achievement when finished nearly last not quite but feeling very smug at moment hopefully will lose now this week.

Good morning everyone :hello:

I went to stand on my super duper talking scales to find them eerily quiet, yes, the batteries had run out. After sending my son for a quick scavenger hunt around the house we found 4 AA's so I managed to weigh myself and I was very glad I did. I have lost 6lb since Christmas so that is a great start for the year.

I am going to have a pretty stressful day today due to a visitor coming to see me but this news has really cheered me up. I won't list my food today because I don't have a clue what I am going to eat. Hope you all have a great day xx

Well done everyone reporting a 4lb loss since 1st Jan, weigh in on the first saturday was a bust due to dead scales.

Izadora

Well done everyone on the losses, so many smiley faces is a really good start to the year.

I weighed myself this morning and am -7.5lb lighter than last Monday. It sounds really good but I think the vast majority will be the difference between what I ate last Sunday and what I ate yesterday :rotfl:

My dinner yesterday ended up being somewhat lighter (in food weight if not calories) than intended. I'd made sausage, mash and onions but everything had a weird, slightly perfumed, taste to it. After about the 3rd mouthful I realised that I'd made gravy in the jug that my husband had used the day before to dilute some zoflora...

The sausages were mercifully gravy free so I ate them and the rest of my dinner, and the jug, went in the bin. I may have had crisps and chocolate to take the taste away...

Best of luck everyone for the week ahead xx
