Hi All,

I'm in again please - I'll go for 10lb again, weighing in on Mondays (theory being it keeps me behaving at weekends...)

Good luck everyone!

Right! This is the plan. 
Because my aim is to lower blood pressure as well as lose weight, I am ONLY going to eat whole foods, all fruit, vegetables, meat with fat off, fish, all pulses, unadulterated grains and cereals/all bran, Weetabix etc, soya milk, wholemeal bread. 
Cheese limited to handful grated or enough to cover a butty, and nuts to a handful too. 
I am including things like steak and kidney puds and battered fish, and white bread for bacon butties or french toast  ONLY twice in a week, and limiting butter, sugar to two teaspoonfuls a day, and one  blob of cream in a day. 
Otherwise not counting the amounts or calories, and usually two meals a day. 

I have painstakingly gone through the possibilities, and I  think this is guaranteed to leave me in calorie deficit, but we shall see. 

My target for this quarter is 12 pounds, please.

Meals today. 

1) poached egg on toast, pear, satsumas, raw turnip. 

2) Beef curry, brown basmati rice, salad. fruit.

Chart has been updated it's lovely to see you all new and returnees, cymruchris everyone is welcomed here    Suffolksue well done on the 5.5lbs already lost

Honey do you grate the raw turnip? I do eat raw sweet potato but haven't tried raw turnip
 
I started the challenge by clearing a lurking pizza from the freezer for dinner last night then finishing some ice cream  well at least it's gone and I have a week to recoup.  Today I'm being better especially as too much fat gave me self inflicted indigestion last night and i have freezer space

Please add me again this quarter - I only need to lose 4lb to get back to where I was before lockdown (I had lost a bit before I joined this thread last quarter) so hopefully that should be do-able.

Hello, my situation is slightly different in that I have lost 2'st7lbs this year to be at my target weight. I have been here before only to put it back on again in a short time Can I join as a maintainer with a target to stay at my current weight +/- 2lbs? I understand if this isn't the right thread. My weigh in day is Monday.
