Morning all

1.5lbs off this week :j ..im chuffed to little mintballs....the lack of exercise this week had me expecting a "stay the same" mind i have adjusted my eating to make up for being on my behind nearly all week-so guess it works so thats my first bit off of the new challenge ....
My BMI has now gone under the 36 which seemed to last forever... now from 49 to 35.5 :T
If i could keep shifting 1.5lb a week i could be down to about 13st for our anniversary :eek: mind i will be happy to shift 1lb a week and be 14st... not aiming to high... much less depressing to have ickle targets and reach them

Hello and welcome on board Helend, littlel and empy

Chloebelle - well done on losing those inches :T glad it has made you feel better... hope it has made you realise how wel you are doing

Rosewood - I agree that walking in towns, shops is much more tiring than a nice walk in the lovely quiet country side -or in your case the beach ... much more stressfull too fingers crossed for your weigh in

Hubby will be home soon, think he is on about going golfing...think im giving it a miss today - my back is just about getting back to normal so i want to give it a couple of days before i start yomping over a golf course... walking on pavements is ok.. but im not pushing my luck...

Meals today:-

• brekkie - think i will have a yoghurt
• lunch - might have beans on toast
• dinner -tortilla with southern coated chicken n coleslaw and salad
• snackies -yoghurts n fruit ...surprise

right i had better get off and get my brekkie.... good luck to all those weighing in and hope everyone has a great day..keep up the good work everyone :T

Big welcome to littlel and helend Glad you decided to join in the BH challenge.

Well done MRSMC - another 1 1/2 lbs, you're doing so brilliantly..its all very exciting watching. :j

I'm looking forward to getting my 'face the music' weigh in done tomorrow after my turkey incident :rolleyes: but I already feel like I've started afresh this week so I've steeled myself for the scales tomorrow. Who knows..may have lost. :rotfl: :rotfl: I think not...taplady is right, it is low fat but not so much when you're scrapping the bottom of the roasting tin to get the dark, crunchy greasy bits off the bottom that taste fantastic. I'm am totally disgusting sometimes.

Food today:
Not sure about brekkies yet as not hungry.
Blue cheese and pear salad :j Been dying to try this.
Chicken curry with egg noodles.

Have to say I don't fancy the curry, not a great fan, but others insisting on it. I'm wondering if I should upgrade my lunch to a dinner by adding a jacket or some steamed potatoes. :think:
Then that would leave me free to have something scrummy from the seafood bar at Morrisons for my tea. :j I love shellfish so I could have mussels or a mixed thingy. I wouldn't need to feel guilty over the price because they're having their favourite. Oohh all excited now. And I can afford it cos I get my April GC money today.:dance:

One thing I know... will be adding a piece of fresh salmon to my shopping list.. I've been drooling over the idea every since newlywed and now taplady mentioned it. Am I the only one that gets these really strong cravings for one or two foods that change each month?

Ohh OH and DS1 just walked in. Roads blocked and they've been sent home as can't get into work. :j

Cranky -post crossed but wanted to say WELL DONE for the loss and for getting back on track.

Morning - mind if I join you too?? Am 5ft 7 - currently 13 stone something, can't bear to find out, and have muchos baby belly to lose. Have tried SW and WW but would rather do it myself but be sensible - although wine is my biggest downfall!

Might have to start tomorrow as already had toast, baked beans, hash brown and half a rasher of bacon for breakfast :)O<

Nope - I often get food cravings - sometimes for fish pie, boiled gammon, roast chicken, yorkies - and no medical reason for the craving either - thankfully The last one was for sage and onion stuffing At least it doesn't break the budget

If I'm going to add stuff to the salmon rather than have it steamed or microwaved on it's own then I get Sainsbugs basics salmon or else Aldi and Lidl do frozen salmon pieces which are about £2.20 for two bits. They are all quite nice and so I add them into the meal plans each month.

The sesame salmon I posted will certainly reappear in April's menu list - unless Lidl have frozen tuna steaks back in stock


Anyway - morning all, welcome all newbies, well done to everyone losing weight.

I seem to be successfully maintaining my loss so far - but now thinking of losing a little bit more so may have to step up the walking and reduce the snacks

Food today has been toast and choc spread (well I was bored of porridge and wanted a change).
Lunch is leftover sausage casserole from the freezer (it was that or sicky looking soup).
Tea will be smoke salmon (value trimmings of course) omelette.

Snacks are an apple, and whatever cries out to me in Aldi later

Oh yeah... and the only reason I resisted the fish and chip shop yesterday (we live round the corner and could smell it as we came home) - was coz OH said no he didn't want chips, they're unhealthy and we are meant to be on diets

Will get oven chips today in Aldi though

Welcome to all the new ladies and well done to all the losers, Cheerfulness you do seem to crave really healthy stuff- I'm more a bottle of red and a choccy bar kind of gal:o Mrsm- glad your backs feeling better.

Hello everybody I'm going to try and join in as well - although the £1 easter eggs in asda have been demolished rather speedily (way ahead of you there Martin ). As I am still getting over a cold (go on holiday to egypt, get a cold - lovely....). Breakfsat - fruit (probably tinned pineapple); lunch - cheese salad with jacket (the cheese needs using alright !!) and dinner will probably be a pasta dish with the remains of the salad. I promise I will try...

Hello! Had a Jack Daniels and diet coke with OH in pub on way home last night, Quorn burger in a brown roll, wedges and salad. Fancied something sweet and OH disappeared off to the kitchen and came back with a bowl of chocolate (sugar free) Angel Delight with a Kinder Hippo floating in. He declared it a 'hippo in a mudbath' - was delicious. Naughty but lovely!

Today:

B: Malties cereal, semi skimmed, juice, grapes
L: noodles, veg
HM pizza (probably veg or ham) xx
