Weight loss the old style way part 3.

MRSMCAWBER

Morning all

Aaroncaz
If you are using a cheddar i would just go for the strongest you can find... you need less that way..i always found reduced cal cheese really bland.. You can get lower fat mozarella in most supermarkets now.. the ones in the bag of liquid..but ompare the cals/fat with the normal version -as quite often there isn't much difference apart from the price
When i do pizza -I use mozarella -but then instead of cheddar i grate over some fresh parmesan..its soo strong -you use very little :j and it doesn't go greasy like cheddar;)

Cheddar - 400cals /100g
Mozzerella - 280/100g

I'd go for mozzerella!

Back later folks, boss has just arrived

Not a lot in it aaroncaz - cheddar 116 per oz and moz 88 per oz. Then you have to weigh up which you'd use more of for flavour. I like moz but my boys hate the stringiness of it.

I'll put my A-Z of cals away now and drink my coffee.

Thanks, shall go with the moz

Mhe - well done on the loss. Weird how the scales do that isn't it? I remember my second week I jumped on mid week and was thrilled to see a few lbs gone. Was all excited for the Sat weigh in as I'd been really good the next 3 days and not an ounce more had gone. I was really narked and have never got on mid weighin since.

Ohh look at me showing my age with my imperial measurements and the others girls up to date with their metric.

Food today: (frankly after all that bread yesterday I don't fancy any - very bad sign )
Yoghurt & honey
Grilled herby tomatoes on toast
Chicken salad with apple coleslaw

Snacks- Mandarins (who said they got the back of their throat, they do that to me everytime!) and apples

Away to get DS2 up who is hiding in his bed thinking I'll forget its a work day. :rolleyes:

Hello again..

don't know what i hit there posted before i had finished:rolleyes:

Anyway.... food for today:-

1. brekkie- im going to have weetabix in a minute
2. lunch -is leftover cauli/broccoli/carrot cheese from last night mmmmmmm
3. dinner is ham tortillas with salad
4. and snacks -fruit n yoghurts

Frankie -im another who weighs every Friday.. i know what i would do if i weighed monthly.... i would "over eat" for the 1st couple of weeks and then almost "starve" for the 2 weeks before weigh in to compensate :rolleyes:
When i was at WW i even used to do that on a weekly basis... weigh day and a couple of days after -eat too much ... the rest of the week virtually go without to make up for it :mad:
Have to say though that since deciding to lose weight this way..i don't do it anymore.. :T ...
well done on the loss mhe :T

rockie mmmm -feta... think i will pick some of that up when i next shop ..i love it -with avocado mmmm okay im drooling now

sending you hugs queenpig ....

Glad you have recovered from your shock frogga ... just got your e mails.... will reply in a moment

hope you have a lovely time away from work taplady:T .....
woohoo newlywed -hope all is well

Well im staying in again today :eek: ...but can feel a wander coming on tomorrow -not that i need any food shopping at the moment..so i may just go to "REAL" for a nosey....

Have to figure out what my target is going to be for the challenge up to -was is good friday ??? friday is the last weigh in for FAB FEB....and then there are only 3 weeks in the next one :eek: ....will have to ponder

right i had best get off...have a great day everyone-and keep up the good work

Morning everyone!

Cheerfulness - its not just maths its everything - he's just about to do his GCSE's but its ok I'm sending to stop with our little green friend till the exams are all over in June!;) I'm just off to pack his bag now!:rotfl:

mhe - on the daily thread charlie's mum reckons you can put on 2lbs by drinking a cup of tea before weigh in:eek: once at SW a lady had her weigh in and then drank half a bottle of water and ate some grapes, weighed again and had put on 1 1/2 lbs!:D so there must be some truth in it!

MRSM - am off to town for my cake fix at the WI later!;) hope its coffee cake again!

Good news - we have eaten all the nice quality street now and only got the strawberry and orange cremes left!:j so I wont be eating them!

Food plans for today - not really got much planned yet but heres what I have decided on so far

B - shredded wheat fruitiful

cake:D

L - something on toast - probably poached eggs

D - not sure yet - might have some salmon thats lurking in the freezer

snacks - banana and lowfat yoghurt SW hifi bar

have a great day x

morning all,

weigh in tonight, have resisted hopping on the scales so far but i might go have a peek in a minute!!

today-
bfast - weetabix
l: either soup or a cheese toasty and banana
s: yoghurt / clementines
d: bacon & pesto pasta (after weigh in as, hopefully, a little reward!!)

MRSM the mention of feta has got me all hungry now! and I agree about the binge then starve issue, I think I'd be prone to that if I weighed monthly.

Have ordered myself a yoghurt maker this morning....I found some good reviews of them, anyone have any opinions?!
Also I've been lookin at buying a mincer, they have one on lakeland that can also do pasta and sausages. Has anyone tried it? Is it worthwhile?

Have a good day everyone!!
xx

Hiya.

Will post properly tomorrow.
I have been feeling sorry for myself, my sister died and it would have been her 30th on saturday. ahhh never mind ay?
I have been naughty this weekend, i ate 5 cookies about half a bag of haribos and drank a little more drinky than normal lol:o and feel really bad, and I did so well on Saturday it was only friday and sunday i had a few to many drinks on yes and though the week i have 3 jaffa bars so failed badly.....scratches a line under it. anyway just stepped on the scale i have put on 2 bloody lbs:mad: maybe its because its late in the day i dont know?

((((((((((huge huge hugs))))))))))))

I think you are allowed to be pee'd off and eat extra.. take it easy hun and you will be able to refocus in a few weeks... don't push yourself too hard babes.

:doh: almost forgot - what is everybody's target for next challenge? I think MRSM said target date is Good Friday? I'm gonna go for 7lbs by then. I'm hoping with a combo of exercise, healthier choices and smaller portions I can do it!:T

:beer: Come on everyone, last push before Easter!! (Then me and H2B will be sharing a hotel chocolat egg if I reach my target!) :beer:

Morning ladies:hello:

Last night was…erm… okish. I had my yoghurt and a glass of wine (not together) but I also had a bag of snackajacks and then a buttered muffin. :eek: It doesn’t do me any good to be in on my own!

Today I've had 2 weetabix with soya milk and a nana, cereal doesn't do it for me, I'm starving so have just had another nana and a cereal bar!
Lunch is LF hummus with ryvitas and a bit of salad. I might go and buy a fruit salad box from the canteen cos I forgot to pick my fruit up this morning :mad:

Tea will be egg florentine with SW wedges - I love spinach

I did think about going for a swim at lunch but I'm sooooooo tired I might give it a miss. I think I need to 'be good to myself' at the moment, I've been stressed for the best part of a year with OH and his job/nojob malarky so I'm going to listen to my body and rest a bit this week.

I'm aiming for 6 lbs by Easter which takes me to the stone mark (I usually stick there)

Cheerfulness - you're not showing your age, I work in metric all day then go home and use my cookery books and scales in pounds and ounces! :rotfl:

Taplady - I weighed myself the other day first thing, then had a cuppa then went...erm...to the loo....weighed again and I was a pound heavier :eek: so you're right!

Hope everyone has a nice day, see you later folks :A
