Old Style Weight Loss 2020 - Part 1

Bfh

yesterday I had some pate and crusty bread at lunchtime then nothing else all day; I felt a bit sick and bloated and thought it might be a novel idea to not eat if I wasn’t hungry
Today though, I’ve had ...
B - porridge
L -went for a ride out and a browse around some shops with OH and stopped for lunch - emmental and mushroom toastie and skinny cappuccino from c*sta
D - Thai prawn fish cakes with salad and a small jacket potato
S - unfortunately succumbed to a couple of biscuits with my evening cuppa, then a few of the Xmas chocs

Good morning all,

Thanks Brambling but it's not just me - it's his family too so a total team effort.

Last night I decided to make rice pudding in the slow cooker as a breakfast item. I like porridge (I like it a lot, my gran and mum were Scottish) but it doesn't fill me up - well not in the quantity allowed by SW anyway. Rice is free, a litre of unsweetened almond milk is a daily allowance and then there's sweetener so I can have rice pudding first thing and save my carb allowance for lunch.

I used 100g of rice, 700ml of milk, some sukrin gold sweetener and I was quite generous with the nutmeg. It's turned out really well and I'd make it again. This morning I microwaved a portion then added in a couple of spoonfuls of vanilla Muller lite (I don't like the Muller stuff by the tub as it's too sweet) for a bit of extra flavouring and then put some blueberries on top. I do like a warm breakfast in the winter.

Take care all of you

Hello everyone! Sorry, I've only just seen this thread.

Is it too late to join in? If not, could you put me down for 21lbs please? I'll weigh in on Fridays 😊

Afternoon all

The walking challenge is definitely proving tough but I’m determined to get my 500,000 steps in this month. I’m still “ahead” but I like to keep myself ahead for days where I may do slightly less.

B - weetabix (I use whole milk as it’s easier than buying different milk) with an apple

L - spag Bol with whole wheat pasta and my own sauce. I add onions, grated carrot and tomatoes in the sauce for added veg and bulk it out. I had a couple of small Christmas cookies too and a Diet Coke

D - lentil and veg soup with a small piece of seeded baguette

E - lots of walking as per my challenge

Hello all, can I join in as well? I would like to lose 21 pounds this quarter as I could do with losing that x 4 in the course of the year.

I'm following the slimming world plan. I will weigh in on Saturdays.

Do you use pudding rice Cranky, I might try this as I do find the porridge allowance a bit stingy as well. Do you syn the sweetener?

Hello! Brambling
I hope there's still room for a wee one ( or not so wee..!!) to join and I'm not too late!
Thank you x

Yes to the pudding rice - it is just rice after all. The sweetener is 0.5 syns per tbsp so half a syn per portion. I count it if I'm in the mood. I've always lost without counting sweetener so far....
