I lost my appetite with covid in June and miraculously it got me out of the habit of picking so I’ve lost a few pounds and found some motivation. One positive of covid at least

Hi
For breakfast today it was a cba of cold meats, cheese and an already hard boiled egg from the fridge; 2 coffees with cream and 1/2 a scoop of electrolyte powder in my water. Woke up very thirsty today. Other meal; last of the spinach soup (yippee as I’m bored of it now) and a tuna mayo salad. Raspberries and cream for desert. A piece of dark choc and a bit of peanut butter for supper and that will be it for today I think.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025

Hello
Well done on your loss Suffolksue, hope your pain eases soon.
Today breakfast was chia pud, berries, almonds, the usual coffees and a cup of tea later on. Other meal; spicy prawns to start then a cheeseburger wrapped in a big lettuce leaf with ketchup, mustard and gherkins. I’d planned on a few chips to go with but noticed wheat flour in the ingredients list so it’s parmesan dusted courgette batons masquerading as fries. Sugar free jelly and cream for dessert.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025

I'm making an effort to cut portion / carb amounts, think I'm getting better.... but, LOL
BMI update - Consultant previously said it was X without putting me on the scales, checked it this week after a clinic appointment and my recent weight loss... it is 4 stone off / under his estimate.

Hi
That was a huge over estimate by your consultant jennystarpepper! Very well done on your weight loss.
Today breakfast was mushed avocado topped with a runny poached egg and chilli flakes and 2 creamy coffees. Packed snacks today of a boiled egg, some salami slices and a square of dark chocolate. There is also a can of gin and diet tonic in the cool bag. Supper will be much later than is optimal, it is Spanish/Med style tapas, I’ll just have a few marinated feta cubes and an olive to start and stick to the Spanish chicken I’ve already made and salad with a lemon yoghurt dressing. Fruit salad for dessert and I’ll have with some cream. Fizzy water (hopefully if my willpowers working ) for the rest of the evening.Old Style Weight Loss Challenge 2025
