Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2022 - 2nd Quarter

Gingerlily

Hello

Well done on the losses. 

Stayed on plan yesterday and got a lot of walking in doing the food shop. Had a mild headache last night and still not feeling great so I’m going to have a more restful day today. I don’t think I drank enough fluids yesterday so another thing to start tracking, I’ve bits of paper and sticky notes all over the place! 

Todays food

Breakfast:1 egg and bacon “muffin” with sliced avocado, 2x coffee with cream.

Main meal: pan fried white fish fillet, buttered broccoli and wilted spinach, tartare sauce. No sugar jelly and cream, cup of green tea.

Supper: instant miso soup, small bowl of Greek yoghurt with frozen berry compote 

My order of low carb junk food arrived today so I’ve emergency snacks if I need them over the weekend.

SIRENS

Oh my +2lb on again, I can't seem to get to grips with eating at the moment, exercise is fine but I can't keep my hands of the sweet stuff 😫

Frith

Brunch - lettuce, tomato, aubergine slices, blue cheese salad

Tea - piece of salmon with asparagus

I only found out today that carbohydrates are called carboHYDRATES because they need a lot of water to process. 
Presumably it is beneficial to stay hydrated, (?) but it would  explain why some people get a drastic weight drop the first week they cut out carbs and why it goes back on so quick.

Todays food 
Ham and beetroot butty. Raw cabbage. Raw carrots. 

Bavarian slice. 

Spaghetti, mushrooms, tomatoes, chilli, bacon, egg cheese. 


I only got the Bavarian slice because I was walking in the middle of nowhere (shopwise) and was so desperately thirsty I had to take the dogs into the bakery to get a bottle of coke. I somehow persuaded myself the staff  wouldn't mind as much if I bought cakes too!

Can I come back on board please? I dropped out of the last quarter - my knee basically prevented me from doing any exercise at all and I was just fed up and gave up! 🤦‍♀️ However, things are moving on and my mobility is returning so it's time I knuckled down and got on with it! I'm starting on Sunday- new month, new me!! 😁

14lbs to lose this quarter - I'm going to give it my best shot - it's may only be two months but if I really make the effort I'm sure I can achieve it 😉

Lovely to see you back Leftatthetrafficlights 👋 I'm glad the knees are allowing to to get about more 

well done all our losers and Sirens you have a lot on your plate at the moments so you're allowed a blip or two 

hope everyone have a great weekend

Boringly, carbohydrates are so called because they are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. 

dustydigger

Can I declare 2lbs,please? Thats great for me,since I have been steadily losing 1 lb a month forthe last 16 months so 2 lb is double. Might look small change,but with my stupid immune system sabotaging me in all ways at all times, 2lb is good. - 2lb a month I will be14st 12 at Xmas. Yay!

Oh that makes much more sense, but not nearly as interesting a the idea of hydration.  
I got it from the "Jane Day" youtube channel, and she said that we need two or three times the weight of carbs to process them. Is this nonsense too? 
She is not an expert, just an evangelical slimming worlder I came across, and I have been trying to brainwash myself with it .  Maybe not such a good idea after all! 

Plan for today 

Liver and bacon, cabbage spuds carrots. 

Cheese and onion butty, carrots, apples. 


Butter beans.
