Toonie

Yesterday was a bit of an off day. Was feeling rubbish as its my time of the month but still tried to get fruit and veggies in.


B-WM Toast with a sliced tomato.
L-Mince pie and a handful of grapes.

D-Homemade meatloaf, carrots, green beans, and sugar snap peas.
S-Banana and a mini kinder chocolate bar.


Breakfast today was pitta bread, cheese, grapes and a tomato as no bread left. Lunch is omelette. Dinner will be leftover meatloaf and more veggies.

Bfh

Just lost a post so will try again.
Sorry that I don’t reply often to individual posts - I do enjoy reading them all, but I post on my phone and it’s getting more and more fiddly to do! Think I need a new one.
I ate too much junk yesterday and still haven’t reigned it in properly today. Annoyed with myself but I’m ready to get back on board now, and hopefully I’ll still have a small loss this week.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
(Poor you, Izadora with the Zoflora sausages!!!)

Good evening everyone

Bfh I know what you mean about fiddly, I get RSI if I type too much on my phone or tablet so have to limit (some may think that’s a good thing ). We all have days when junk calls too seductively to us, the main thing is not to let it derail the whole effort.

Toonie very well done on eating healthily in spite of feeling rubbish.

Izadora wow! just wow! on that amazing weight loss :j:j:j.
Maybe the zoflora diet is the way to go :rotfl: I’ve got a bottle .... (Thinks: cauliflower in a zoflora cheese sauce; lentil dal with spicy zoflora; etc etc.)

Seeking flight, dumpling well done on your weight loss, :j:j:j and on being brave enough to get the scales mended! Dumpling I hope your visitors brought you joy instead of stress.

Patentgirl very well done on completing your parkrun :T

Just wondering, has anyone been sponsored (at any time, not just now) to lose weight? If so, did you get an independent verification of your start and end weights? I’m thinking of trying to raise some money for a charitable cause, and trying to work out the hows and whats. It will also give me extra motivation, so win-win.

Dishes of the day were:
B: bacon and eggs
L: cold roast lamb with salad of chicory and beetroot, tangerine
D steamed salmon with stir-fried veg (carrot, onion, celery, and Brussels sprouts), cinnamon yogurt
S: none

Brambling

Wow some big numbers in today's weigh ins. :T:T:T well done all

I'm sorry Izadora I had to laugh at the zoflora :rotfl: at least one advantage of living alone

Work was a bit blah with nothing going right, so biscuits appeared on the table after lunch, I did succumb but only to one .

The weather is getting rough outside so I'm glad I'm not going out, just hoping the flickering lights won't get more serious, candles and matches have been put in a obviously place. I fear by mini greenhouse may end up blown over

B - stewed apples and plums with FF Greek yoghurt
L - HM celery soup. Melon and pineapple
D - a large plate of left over vegetables
S - chocolate biscuit

procrastinator

Sat no B no lunch but eve was a carb fest lots of party sandwiches and quiches plus a couple of prosecco for toasting. Lots of dancing.

Sun
B. Blueberry yogurt with fresh blueberries and raspberries.
Veggie sausages, scrambled eggs, beans, mushrooms and tomato.
Black coffee.
Lunch. stilton and mushroom pie, mash and roast potatoes, yorkie pud, cabbage, peas and carrots. Plus small glass red wine,
D. handful nuts. Water to drink.

Today
coffee and water
L. small advocado, tomato, brazil nuts. Small pear.
D. sausage casserole with cabbage.

Out for a walk to town today, so good as far as exercise, but went via poundland where I found a chocolate bargain. 2 duo bars bought, intention one a day treat. Unfortunately now all gone, so that's it, my will is non existant no more treats.

Brambling

Blue Doggy many years ago one of my sisters did a sponsored weight loss I think her manager witnessed her weight in, maybe ask if the nurse at your doctors surgery could weigh and record it for you?

FrugalLina

Wow, well done on the great weight losses everyone! :j

I weighed this morning and can report a STS, to be honest, I am relieved I haven't gained this week. :mad:

My cold has eased up a lot, although my asthma and a lingering cough are still with me.

Sorry to be absent from the forum for a day or two, we have had a loss in the family and although it isn't someone I am close to, the ripples have impacted me somewhat. We are in that horrible limbo period and I am having to fill in/be there for those who are feeling the loss.

Anyway, I hope everyone is safe from the horrible weather, my chimney is making some very strange noises! :eek:

SIRENS

Morning All

Some brilliant losses, not sure if I'm willing to go the route of the Zoflora gravy diets just yet though :rotfl:

Sorry to hear you are still under the weather, and about your family loss FrugalLina xx

Wow that weather was pretty rough, I was very windswept and wet on my way home from work yesterday, thankfully it is bin day today so all my bins are too heavy to blow over :eek:

Yesterday was pretty awful at work, I was on my own for a lot of the day and trying to serve numerous customers at once is hard work, by the time we were shut my back and shoulders were very painful. I was quite amazed I didn't devour the left over chocolate!

Yesterday
B porridge, berries, milk/water
L chicken tikka, rice, pear
D cheeseburger soup, melon

Today will be
B porridge, berries, milk/water
L campfire stew and couscous, pear
D jacket pot, beans and cheese

Watch out for the wind everyone, stay safe and have a good day x

Izadora

Morning All,

Toonie I hope you're feeling less rubbish now and well done for getting the veggies in. If I manage to eat anything other than carbs and chocolate at that time of the month it's a miracle.

Bfh I find posting at all on my phone really difficult, let alone trying to format anything so I don't blame you. I hope you're having a better day today.

Blue Doggy I've never done a sponsored weight loss but I presume it would be easy enough to set up as long as there's someone that you're happy to have verifying your weight. Then you would need to decide whether to get people to sponsor by the lb lost or an overall amount for hitting a target weight. It would definitely work as a good incentive to keep going.

Brambling Very well done on sticking to just one biscuit and I hope the weather didn't get any worse.

Procrastinator Damn the shops and their chocolate bargains, at least they're not there to tempt you anymore.

Frugalina Sorry for your loss. Even if it doesn't affect you too much personally it's still hard to deal with other family members who have been more affected.

Sirens Well done for not succumbing to chocolate after a hideous day at work. I would probably have convinced myself that I'd definitely burnt off enough extra calories to justify it.

I forgot to log food yesterday but it was fruit, yoghurt and bran flakes for breakfast, Quorn peppered steaks in a seeded wrap for lunch and bubble&squeak for dinner. All zoflora-free as well

I'm working from home today, which always makes sensible eating harder but food should go something like this:

B - fruit, yoghurt & bran flakes
L - Maybe soup and salad
D - Rice-stuffed pepper and tomato

Best of luck everyone xx
