Weight loss the old style way part 3.

WelshWoofer

Hello, was relatively good yesterday -stuck to what I'd projected for food and only had 4 of the Thorntons in the evening (am sick of them to be honest but they're still there asking to be eaten - the Flake Easter Egg is still safely hidden in the cupboard and bears no risk as yet!)

I managed to do a 15 min walk in the morning before work, 40 mins straight after work and then 20 mins after Corrie (all with the dog) so hopefully that'll cancel out the few choccies.

Today I have planned/had
B - Special K bar
L - Egg sandwich (with just a teaspoon of low fat mayo), hot cross bun
D - probably 2 quorn sausages with potato bake (not made this before so it may all go horribly wrong!)

Will try to do at least an hour walk later too but have a handyman coming round after work to sort out some household stuff I'm useless at so time may be a bit tight before it gets too dark.

Keep it up everyone!

Morning all!

Stuck to my food aim last night (OH made us mushroom and ham ommelettes, beans and 1 slice of wholemeal)... but following my doctors appointment, I felt the need for a few JD and diet cokes, which were scrumptious.

Today:
B: 2 x wholemeal w/ lime marmalade (have now run out of lime marmalade )
L: noodles, veg, yoghurt, orange
Quorn SF chicken burgers, salad, wedges

Hi All

Have only jsut been brave enough to venture onto this thread but was wondering if it is ok to join??

Im currently here at 5'5, and weighing 13st 5lbs. Bf keeps nicely reminding me that i was a size 12 when we met and now im a 16/18 which doesnt help but the slight nice thought i have in my head is hes nagged me to death and when we weighed ourselfs yesterday he was 5lbs heavier than me - so im determined to keep it that way and stay lgihter than him.

Also feelign ashamed my younger sister whos 21 has had two kids (the youngest being 6 months) and she went up to a size 14 from a size 6 and she is already back to her little size 8 frame! :mad: whereas my son is almost 4 years old and i still feel like a blob, doesnt help that my mums a size 12 either!

So im resolving to do it - i do take the dog out for an hour long walk in the day and i do have a step machine in the house which hasnt been used since - oohh..........last christmas. Also have a sit up machine and weights which have had the same fate and have been banished to the bedroom, so think i need to get them out and dust them off again.

Also have to say i have a phobia of new foods so some of my meals may seem quite boring but im hoping this will help me try new things too, and help me to get my anaemia under control - think im one blood test away form having iron injections!

I am looking forward to getting started.

Hi Sammy and welcome,
This is the right place for getting fitter and slimmer:D you can join in with the Mayday Challenge- Mayday is about 6 weeks away and you just chose an amount to lose and off we go. I've decided 7lbs is a good target for me to lose in this time frame anything else is a bonus (or a flippin miracle!)
Had laziest day ever yesterday my pedometer reading was pathetic but got TOTM from hell (my age maybe the change:eek: )
B- porridge
L- Ham roll pear and apple
D Prawn curry
Weigh in tomorrow, will honestly be pleased with just maintaining as we had Easter;)

Have a good day all xx

Hi there Sammy_Kaye18

Welcome on board ...you will be allright on here.. we are a happy little bunch.... everyone is always there to cheer you along in the good times and pick you up in the bad ones :T

If it makes you feel any better - My heaviest (when i started on here) was 21st and i don't even have any children to blame :rotfl: and i still weigh more than you now -15st 7lbs.. so don't beat yourself up ....

I have seen several of your other threads ...and you have obviously been putting a lot of time, effort and love into your little family..... so it's nice you are starting to do something for yourself now:j ...
Your boyfriend will have to learn that us ladies very rarely do anything if someone is trying to push us into it -especially losing weight in fact we normaly eat more out of deffiance -or is that just me ... i have had ex's who never realised that... luckily my hubby is a little diamond and has never commented that he thinks i should lose weight..... mind he probably likes his "dangly bits" where they are :rotfl:
Enough rambling..... only popped on to say hello

Saversarn...hope you are feeling better soon

morning everyone,

feeling a little better after my rant yesterday also felt guilty as OH was really ill overnight, ended up calling nhs direct @ 2am cos i thought he had meningitis. turns out its some sort of virus/viral infection.

welcome sammy, my situation is similar to yours - DS is 2 and half and i went up from size 12 to size 16/18. i used to be between 10 and 10 half stone, when i started dieting i was 14st 2 :eek: i've managed to lose stone since november. i only joined thread recently but it really helps. altho i seem to have come to a sticking point atm, think i need a kick up the backside :rolleyes:

food for today:
b- weetabix
l - egg sandwich & hot x bun
d - sweet and sour chicken
s - last cornflake cake....:o

have a good one everybody.
thanks for the positive messages yesterday

Hiya Sammy :wave: You'll be right at home here as lots of us losing weight on a small budget and still enjoying our home baking.... I've read a few of your threads, too.

My hubby and MRSMc's must be brothers because in 20 years he's never asked me to lose weight or ever really mentioned it other than to make the right noises when I lose some... and I have to admit..I've weighed more than him our whole marriage. :shhh: Hopefully I'm doing something about that now as he's 6'1 and I'm only 5'4.

My experiment with French Onion soup has been brilliant, apart from slicing the onions. Why do I cut them myself when the food processor is just sitting there redundant?
It smells gorgeous but I've now got to decide whether to go the whole hog and float the bread and cheese on top and whack under the grill, or whether to go without that. Now you know what I'm thinking......:o :drool:

Afternoon everyone,

Sammy_Kaye 18, Welcome. This thread is great support. I fall off the "wagon" quite regulary, but, when I come back on here, everyone gives me great support. I personally think thats the secret to come on here every day and that will help you stay motivated.


Today so far has been good:

Breakfast - frosties with S/S milk and a Coffee

Lunch - HM bread sandwich with ham & cheese, coffee & a mullerlight yogurt.

Dinner- Plan is for HM soup

Im going to try to not have any chocolate today. If I feel hungry then I will have a yogurt or a slice of toast.

I used to go to a slimming class, and what Im struggling with now is the fact that I dont buy "low fat foods", ie cheese etc. when I was buying it it was only me that used that, so, alot of it went to waste. I end up worrying that cos Im not using low fat foods that I will put on more weight because Im eating exactly the same as the rest of the family Weird.
Must try to re-programme my brain I think.

Jackie xx

Hi everyone. I'm contemplating returning to WW this evening for the first time in nearly two years. I'm one and a half stone heavier than when I last visited but as a mad moneysaver, the thought of the £5.50 chokes me. Inspire me please someone!!

Put the £5.50 into a sealed pot each week. When you reach a target weight loss (written in big writing on the pot) - treat yourself to new clothes!!!
