toniwoty2009

hi evryone,

thanks for all the positive msgs yesterday , was feeling bad - have an impacted wisdom tooth with an infection (on antibios, which seem to make me hungry!!) and have a mouth full of ulcers. think i'm also coming down with a cold :cool:
all doom and gloom today!!

have had:
B: branflakes
L: poached eggs and toast
one piece french bread, two handfuls chips and some chicken
S: HM weetabix brownies (i jiggled the recipe a bit - added half bag of white choc chunks )

feelin comfortably full now. altho lookin thru old posts, MRSM all your recipes sound great!
good news - DS is dry and clean during the day!! only took a week :T thats made me feel more positive about this week.

Good luck to all weighing in soon!

Have joined the march grocery challenge - have always found dieting usually = expensive food shopping! Any tips appreciated

Must start doing more exercise too. I've worked out an exercise schedule now - I tend to stick to military-esque routine! Also want to get some use out of the 8 different celeb exercise DVDs on my shelf . not exactly :money:

Anyhoo must be off.

Morning all!! Just had my weigh-in, was 14.5 last monday, am 14.3 and seven-eights?? now! but when i got on scales last tuesday,(yes i know:o )I had shot up to 14.6 and a half, due to period, i guess! So have i lost nearly 3 ilb, or just over 1 lb? Cause if i hadn't got on the scales tuesday, I wouldn't have know, I'd gone up:rotfl: I hope you got all that! So i suppose it;s just over a 1lb, which is slightly disappointing! Better than nothing i guess:D

Gosh it's quiet on here these days?! Three days have fitten onto one page - I thought it had been closed again!
Anyway, here for my weekly weigh in....1lb loss:j . A few weeks ago I'd have been disapointed with that, but it's a steady loss, so I don't mind really. And after discovering on Saturday that caramel Rocky bars are only 102 calories, well, that scupered the weekend efforts didn't it..
So I'm now at 12st 10lb - which is a whole 1 STONE loss since January 1st. Really chuffed, thank you everybody for all your support so far.

aaroncaz all losses are good. I'm taking my own sweet time about it myself, but its still brings a big smile when I look at my sig.

Caterina and Toni - you both sound like you're going through it. Hope you get more comfy soon.

Welcome Frankie and Droopydrawers. I've really found help among the clan here since I started losing weight, so I'm sure you'll do find this thread great.

Had a strange day foodwise yesterday. I ate breakfast late so lunch was late too. Then I couldn't stop thinking about food. In the end I did something that you'll think was bonkers but about 1/2 hour after eating my lunch I had my tea. :eek: I ate, and thoroughly enjoyed, my pork pie salad with branston pickle and an apple. By the time I'd finished the storm was over and I was totally calm. It was only about 3.30ish I think. Maybe earlier. I didn't feel overly full and I was really contented.
Only when it got to half 7 did I feel that I needed something else so I had a mandarin.
I managed to deal with whatever that is that gets into my head without binging and didn't eat one single thing that wasn't planned, I just changed the timings. Well it worked, even if it was slightly mad. I did exactly the same thing a few weeks ago and it worked then too.:p

Food today:
2 crumpets with honey (fancied a change)
Cream cheese and ryvitas/crackers
Ham salad with jacket potato & apple coleslaw

Snacks - apples & mandarins.

Off to make another cuppa before juggling maths with DS2 and catching up on the threads.

All the best for this week everyone.... and Taplady, shhhhhush about the salmon sarnies, my mouths watering.

Just caught your post Alfiesmum - Thats brilliant! Well done lass :T :T

Morning all

WELL DONE ON THE LOSSES :j :j :j :j :j :j

Thats a nice start to the week isn't it :T

Hello to the newbies..and welcome on board :wave:

Pigpen...trust me..those photos really aren't for those of a weak disposition :eek: ... once i get to target i will post the pics from start to finish -minus my head of course... cos then folks won't know who i am :rotfl: ....

FrankieM.. that is how i started... just changing one thing, and once i had got used to it another thing got changed.. I can't do just 3 meals a day mind -when i do i find i lose less than normal... but i generally choose fruit or yoghurts as snacks anyway....

DroopyDrawers.. i didn't hear any screaming this morning -it couldn't have been that bad its not usually me that screams when i get on the scales...its the scales..have you ever heard scales beg for mercy? :rotfl:

Toniwoty... I have drastically cut our shopping budget since deciding to lose weight.. I have always cooked from scratch..but hubby gives me around €450 a month just for food/toiletries/cleaning stuff and even when i sit and think -I can't think for the life of me what on earth i spent it all on ... I have spent under €200 since xmas and the freezer in the basement is packed solid, and i have set my budget for March at €50 ..as i only need fruit, veg and yoghurts and a couple of other bits :T
I have to say though that im at an advantage here as if you are carefull -prices are lower than the UK... im paying 45c -about 30p for 500g of the nicest broccoli ever..
But i bet you will have your shopping down in no time . One of the other ladies only commented the other week that now she had cut the portion sizes down... food goes much further -so you can afford to spend a little more on nicer products and build a lovely supply of herbs spices etc up ..so you can cook much more variety...

Aaroncaz.... 2 packs of lard is a great loss :T

• Well i had one of those custard pot jobbies(well the nana will go manky) and an apple for brekkie
• lunch will be honey roast ham and salad
• dinner is potatoes and onions roasted in the oven with HM sausages, broccoli and carrots mmmmmmmmm
• and as always -snackies will be fruit or yoghurts

hubby will be back soon as he has a funeral to go to, so it will be dash in, get changed and out again... one of the men at work got called back from a tour the other week as his wife had fallen down the stairs, he got back and she was Ok, but died a couple of days later :eek: ..makes you remember what is important doesn't it!!!

well i had best get off for now

Hope everyone has a great day..woohoo frogga, taplady, marie, newlywed and the many more not mentioned

Off to rummage for recipes..i can't help myself -even though i have worked out the menus for March

Nearly missed you cheerfulness...
Don't worry -you aren't on your own..i have days like that -where all my meals seem to be crammed into a few hours, and then other times where i have brekkie early but still don't eat lunch until much later than usual I guess its a case of listening to our bodies.. they know what they want
