Brambling

Welcome back Its_time 👋 hopefully we'll get you back in that bikini 🙂

Gingerlily

Hello
Breakfast today was a mushroom and spinach omelette and 2 coffees with cream. Other meal; leftover kachumber salad to start then 2 chipolata’s with buttered cabbage and mustard followed by strawberries, cream and choc hazelnut spread for dessert then a cup of tea with milk. 

Am feeling bit fed up with it all today and restless so will be having words with self and refocusing.

Gingerlily  - you have done great so far, it will be all worth it....well I tell myself that, lol.

Well it's STS this week, though I've stuck to my food plan and done plenty of exercise. But I'm consoling myself with the fact that my clothes are starting to fit better, and I'm starting to see positive changes in my body shape, so I'm moving in the right direction

Izadora

Good morning All,

I hope people are enjoying the sunshine and aren't melting into a puddle.

Angelica Well done for the STS. Everything is so much harder when you're tired so not gaining is a massive achievement. 

Brambling Well done for the STS. Your comment about hopefully being clothed when weighing in public made me laugh. When I went to a slimming club (so many years ago I'm surprised I remember it) I would wear as little as was humanly possible to remain decent   

Brie Welcome back and I hope that your OH being on board helps. IzHe said he was going to start eating more healthily with me but has pretty much existed on kebabs and Maccy D's for the past month. And he's not put on a single lb

Gingerlily Well done for the loss and I hope you're feeling less fed up with it today. Despite cauliflower being one of my favourite foods, I've never enjoyed cauli rice so good luck with finding a way to make it palatable. 

Its_time Welcome back and good luck. We all eat very differently so I'm sure between us we can come up with some suggestions for meals which work for you.

Jenny I hope you enjoyed your pub lunch and hot tub. Do you find Me Pepper being away makes dieting easier or harder? If IzHe's away I find it really difficult to bother to cook for just me so am far more likely to eat rubbish.

I'm weighing in this week with a 5.5lb loss. Food choices last week weren't exactly sensible or sustainable (a couple of days all I had was a sarnie and a bag of crisps) but I'll take it as a bonus of my utter can't-be-arsedness. I know it means that it's quite likely that, even if I do everything right this week, I'll have a gain but I'll keep plodding on and hope for the best.

Good luck everyone xx

@Brambling STS for me this week, got off lightly, was expecting a gain and would have fully deserved it (comfort eating)

Suffolksue

Very fed up +1/2 lb this week 
I have no idea why 
Reluctant to blame the painkillers I’ve been taking for my hip ,have some exercfrom the physio ( by email !) but hope to see one in person soon .
I know I’m not going to be able to put off hip replacement for much longer ,but need to lose weight and get BMI under 30 asap ( 32 at the moment ) 
2-3 yr waiting list oner £12,000 ! 

Hope the premum bonds come up wit more than £25 !,

*zippy*

Good Morning 

2lb loss for me please @Brambling thank you 

Welcome back its_time and Brie x

Well done on losses and STS everyone.

Suffolksue it's awful the wait for hip ops, FIL is currently desperately waiting. 

Gingerlily

Hi
Well done on the losses and STS. 

Sorry you are feeling fed up Suffolksue, it is very frustrating this dieting business especially when putting in all the effort.

I’m over my little pity party! Thanks for the reminder jennystarpepper you are right it will all be worth it. 

Todays breakfast was smoked salmon in scrambled eggs with some cherry tomatoes on the side and 2 coffee with cream. Other meal: broccoli soup then chicken in mushroom sauce with courgettes and dessert is strawberries and a spoon of yoghurt and a cup of tea.

Hello, can I pop on and join?? I'm slowly getting my diet into a more simple and easy diet whilst sorting out the pantry.
