Checking in 2 days early for my fortnightly weigh-in - loss of a further 1 lb.
That's on track to achieve the quarter's goal.

Brunch - hummus and celery sticks

I have finally got my "you know what" into gear and am reporting a five pounds loss please, Brambling.
Todays food
Beef curry/brown basmati rice.
Roast chicken, spuds green beans sprouts carrots gravy giant Yorkshire pud.
This might be something the whole world already knows, but I have only just thought of it. I just emptied a can of spuds into the air fryer thingy with a squirt of frylight and it makes super little roast potatoes without the fat.8 -
Well done General and Honey 👏👏
you've got this Honey almost got you target already 😁. I make chips in the AF with new potatoes it have never thought of using tinned potatoes, I may have to buy a tin as it's not something I usually have 🤔
I hope the arm is better Bluegreen 🙂Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin8 -
Hello
I’m clambering back aboard. Fell off with a big thud partway through the first quarter. Gained 6 1/2 lbs since then and am currently around 14.9 stone the highest I’ve been.
Could you please put me down for -10lbs for this quarter Brambling.
I’ve finally accepted I’m going to have to weigh and track again especially carbs, it worked when I did it last year. I’ve dug out my activity tracker wristband and that’s charging, I’ll be wearing from tomorrow to see if I can increase my activity levels above sedentary.
Todays menu plan
Breakfast: 2 egg scramble and chopped tomatoes, 2 x coffee with milk
Main meal: tuna steak, steamed broccoli, sweet chilli sauce, side salad (lettuce, red & yellow bell peppers, small crumbling of feta and a splash of aged balsamic). Tea with milk
Late afternoon: cup of green tea, small square chocolate
Supper: sugar free strawberry jelly, fruit. Tea with milk
