@cymruchris - Yoghurts, wish I liked them, I have no dairy other than a bit of Feta... however I do love a big dollop of garlic yoghurt on a chicken kebab.  SW would have been much better if I liked them.

Anyone who has any more 100 cal treats / suggestions would be appreciated. 

Have a good weekend everyone.

Have you tried frozen kefir by Yeo Valley in Blueberry or Strawberry - it's a very similar texture and smoothness to ice cream, and isn't watery like a sorbet. Works out at 76cal per 100ml - that's 365 calories for a full pot. Compare that to Haagen Dazs Strawberry cheesecake at 253 cal per 100ml - that's 1163 calories in a full pot that's 20ml smaller than the YV. That's 3 pots of YV to one pot of HD!

Super, will give that a go.... thank you very much.

I was just thinking of snacks and treats - fell into my deadly treat yesterday and it probably cost me a week worth of effort. 
And then I still had a beer last night and tonight I was wanting a glass of wine, but opted for hot choc. What do you all do - end of week, grown up treat? I generally don't have much time to cook, although I made pasta w vege sauce for dinner, at least it was home made. 

  What is it?  Need to know!

I can't drink larger / beer... grown up treat... long drink......( old Planet Holly glass) white spirit, lot's of ice and a clear mixer (no caffeine), couple of straws, a couple of fruit slices.

I know some do not drink, but for me it is a 'not going without' thing, wine / beer have too many cals. 

Sorry that is my deep dark processed snack meat secret! And apart from the beer I have managed to stay off alchohol this weekend. 

LOL, I am good with meat, naughty with a drink so your secret is safe.... hope you enjoyed it.

Morning all,

Well done to everyone - whatever the results - we're trying so that's the main thing! I'm down 4lb this week - despite an England match getting in the way of my no drinks/snacks plans. Only 6lbs to go before I get back to where I was a couple of months ago. Sigh. Must remember these feelings of annoyance and not sabotage myself again when I get closer to target!

Anyway, onwards and downwards as they say - have a good week everybody!

Brambling

What a great start Lilac 👏👏

Reporting a 0.8lb loss this week - pretty good considering I was off plan at the weekend.  Happy with that start and back on plan now.

Initially this week I thought I might have been heading towards a STS or even a mini-gain, but the cycle seemed to move downwards as the week progressed. I had a giant steak on a flash sale through Ocado - a chateaubriand that weighed 550g uncooked - it was a giant, but I couldn't say no at the price it was on offer at - and it was a worthwhile treat, very tender and lean. Otherwise I'm keeping up with my exercise and watching the calories - and am now at 70.6kg. I set myself a target of 70kg to get a plate full of fish and chips - so am very close now. Will it be next week? Will it be the week after - I'll have to 'weight' and see. Nice to see a few people off to a good start - keep up the good work - Christmas goodies are beginning to appear in the shops now. I've already got a box of mince pies in the cupboard - haven't opened them yet though!

From the beginning to now - my summary:

Start weight: 200.84lbs
Start of previous quarter challenge: 189.93lbs

Current quarter challenge:
Week 1 start weight: 159.39lbs
Week 2 start weight: 157.3lbs (lost 1.09lb - declared -1lb)
Week 3 start weight: 155.65lbs (lost 1.65lb - declared -1.5lb)

Target for this quarter -5lbs
So far: -2.5lbs
Total loss since beginning: -45.19lbs

Loss declared this week: -1.5lb

Amazing results, very happy for you.  It's good you are having treats, I think it's about finding a balance... all in moderation.

4 lb Off please @brambling.

Aiming for, more lemon water, fruit, veg and a few less carbs.  8 More weigh weeks left for me.... need those jeans to get back to a slacker fit. 

(just amended 8 days to weeks, lol)
