Well, I had a good day yesterday, HM pancakes for breakfast with a smidgen of jam, was more brunch time really, then I made HM veggie burgers in buns with HM wedges and salad, didn't feel like i missed out yesterday which is great for me because thats when i start being naughty

Today I have yet to have breakfast, probably be a slice of toast
Lunch is at Mum's roast pork dinner (I am just having 1 slice, not that keen on pork?
Tea will probably be a sandwich and yogurt.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Right I'm back after having lost 1st 3lb before christmas, it started all going wrong so I must admit to have re-gained 5lbs.... I can feel my trousers tightening again.
I have still been scratch cooking (mostly) and using my slow cooker a fair bit to batch cook. I find this really handy for the days I am in work as dh can just wham it in the micro and I don't snack when I get home then cos 'dinner is served'.
I am going to try and grow some veg and fruit myself this year, hoefully I get a good crop and can fill up on healthy home grown food. I find that because I can't afford to buy mountainous fruit and veg I tend to not eat it so the kids can have it.
Anyway I hope I have stayed on topic....
I will probably pop in once a day to catch up on posts, (although there are usually so many, I may not get time to read them all) and give a quick update on my progress. I need to lose in total 3st 2lb...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cheerfulness4

Did you have to mention russian slab :drool: ? I was on about that before xmas -I used to love it..i was planning on having some back in the UK over xmas... but i didn't get around to it - had forgot all about it UNTIL NOW :rotfl: -still at least i can't get hold of any over here-pheewwwww:D

I hope the chewy bars satisfy the sweet cravings -and at least they can be made in minutes :j

Saversarn.... that is soooo sweet - i think you were right not to have the stain washed out, its a lovely memory and makes the x stitch so much more personal
I guess i could have a wander to the supermarket called "REAL" its only about half an hour or so away and they have a gyros place, a cafe, a tea shop and a bakery with a cafe area (will ignore all the cakes honest)... don't know why i didn't think of that:rotfl: . Just about all supermarkets here have at least a bakery/coffee shop and most have various cafes :eek:

Go on get those threads out.. It will pass the time and i honestly have been known to forget to eat when im sewing :eek: you get that involved -plus you end up with something lovely to hang on your walls :j

well i ended up with yoghurt for brekkie and a low fat cream cheese sandwich with onion and an apple for lunch..

and now im back off to sew :T

Hello all :hello:
I have about a stone to lose & I'm in no rush - as long as I lose it before our holiday in Tuscany in August I'll be happy. I'm hoping that taking it easy & being kind to myself will help me to succeed because if I slip up I've got time to put it right.
I have a very healthy diet (I'm vegan) but portion control is my big downfall. I've just signed up to the Tesco tracker & when I weighed my normal portion of porridge for brekkie it was 50g - their 'normal' portion is 25g:o .
Methinks I need to reeducate my stomach.
The Tesco tracker is really helpful, it automatically sets you a target, you enter everything you eat & what exercise you take & you get a daily allowance. It also tells you what percentage of your recommended protein, carbohydrate etc. you've had so far.

Meal plan for today is
Breakfast - porridge with raisins & soya milk
Lunch - beans on dry toast
Dinner - butter bean casserole with MASSES of veg.
Snacks - rice cakes with houmous, soya yoghurt, few nuts.

As it's Sunday I shall have a couple of glasses of wine tonight too.

Good luck everyone.

Hi Everyone.

I would like to join in with this. Chocalate is my downfall but Im working on that using a alternative therapy. Doesnt seem to be a craving more of a compulsion. Work 3 12 and a half shifts a week and my eating there is less healthy. When off I go to a local cafe where a home cooked meal meat and two veg is £4.50. You get lots of veg which is good. I work vol as a meeter and greeter at local hospital so going to have their healthy option when eating there. Need to lose bout a stone. Have gone back to gym and use rowing machine and treadmill. Good luck everyone.

Today had:
breakfast porridge and banana.
lunch Sunday lunch.

Thanks MrsM for the Muesli slice recipe and the bolognaise/cabbage tip. I always do far too much pasta (and then eat it all!) :rolleyes:

Have had porridge this morning. Will have some soup and HM bread for lunch. Than I'm doing a chilli for tonight. I might even steam some cabbage to go with it (I won't have so much rice/bread/potatoes then (one of those, not all!)

My son is going into hospital tomorrow (he has 2 week courses of IV antibiotics every 3 months) As well as making life difficult for the whole family -especially him, it makes eating healthily a bit more challenging. I drink so much coffee and eat so much toast in there. This time, we won't be in there long - I can do the majority of the IV course at home now I've been taught how. :j

Some parents in hospital seem to get by on nervous energy and don't eat at all. When he had an operation a year or so ago, I ate 2 packets of bakewell tarts (12 tarts). I can say, I haven't had a single one since though! A lovely nurse gave me a packet of those plastic stringy Scooby Doo things (remember them?) to occupy my hands - much healthier!

If any has any tips to reduce stressful eating/ comfort eating, I'd love to hear them.

Have a good day everyone.

CD.. I eat when mine are in hospital too.. unless they are being starved for an op.. then I take a pack up and as soon as they are taken to theatre I stuff myself silly until they are back! That was fantastic when DS3 was in for 3 weeks.. and I lived on fish and chips and sausage rolls.. that sounds like a song title.. lol

Anyhoo.. breakfast today.. 2 satsumos.
lunch.. ham and half a bacon sarnie.. nicked off hubby and eaten in one HUGE bite.. and 2 cuppas.
Dinner tonight.. gammon and salad and new spudatoes... and dessert!

OK - meal plan today

Breakfast - Scrambled egg (but DD2 nicked half after scoffing all hers) 1 bacon, 1/2 sausage, 1/2 muffin, 5 mushrooms, baked beans.

Lunch - small sausage roll (plus 2 choccies from tin at work - better than last week where I scoffed about 15!)

Tea - HM Meatballs, HM Oven chips, Peas and Sweetcorn

Gonna dig my small sized dinner plate out as our current ones are huge and I feel the need to fill the plate so my portions have been huge of late.

I have been reading the Paul Mckenna book and have to say that this morning I left a lot of my breakfast, usually I would have shuffed it all in and wiped the plate clean. Have been surprised what a difference I have noticed in the last couple of days and not finished reading the book yet.

Hi everyone!

Managed fairly well last night as had my dinner but none of my home made trifle but I did have a bit of ceese and one bidcuit! Better than I would have been and I drank several glasses of wine/port!

Also today persuaded everyone mo to go out for a meal but to eat in and we'r having roast chicken and veg so cheaper and lower fat than going out I think!

Tonight will try and have a tuna wrap or something like that!
