Weight loss the old style way part 3.

purpleivy

Anyone got the Dirty Dancing execise vid? I've never had an exercise video before. Oh! I tell a lie....when I used to work for WW years ago, they brought out a Mr Motivator one. I did watch some of it, but it was rather boring. Almost enough room in new sitting room with the furniture back to have a class here! Keep thinking about skipping, as the ceiling is high, but thinking is all I do!

Porridge in a minute,

Lunch: who knows what

dinner: Doesn't seem to be anything written in the space, will have to look at meal planner thread!

Snack... deffo a 25g bar of 85% Chocolate. Have to go to the hospital with MIL for cataract op check up, so can pick that up at Aldi along with the milk.

Frogga Wow! what a clever frog you are!:T :A

MRSM - it was bakewell tart - with pastry on the bottom and a soft almondy filling - no icing and it was delicious, could have eaten the whole tart!;)

toniwoty - hope you get your card sorted out ASAP!

Newlywed - glad your pay was early!:j

Another day off for me - weigh in tonight, think I'm about the same which is what I'm aiming for. Having my hair cut later - that should lose me a few ounces!:D and no drink before weigh in either!:D
Food plans today -

B - shreddies

L - havent decided yet

D - jacket spud with cheese and beans

snacks - yoghurt, fruit and SW hifi bar.

Not doing at all well:o Doesn't help that I'm trying these marvellous recipes for healthier eating, & at least one of the 3 offspring has to turn their nose up & pass some unrepeatable comment or 6:o Even Pup is having a poke too....I made a lovely soup-y thing from a gammon hock.....99p from a discount place......boiled it slowly Sunday & stripped the meat, then used the stock to make a sweet potato & veggie version for Pup & a slow cooker jobbie with leeks, soup mix & stuff for us on Monday.

Well I liked it:p

Look at you Frog, getting all domestic before dawn's break:eek:What's your secret? Have they added garlic butter to the pond water or summat:D Good on yer tho....ignore me....I'm just jealous:o

Morning all

Just got back from a wander to the bank and a peek in REAL... so thats 1 hr 15 mins or 7500 steps done :T mind its my 1st walk this week ... shoved most of the housekeeping in the savings account :j -well if it isn't in my purse - i can't spend it

BigMummaF... huge hugs....how old are the offspring? Eating healthily can be difficult enough cant it!! without those around us making it harder... Im lucky that there is very little my hubby won't eat...thank god.... it makes life soooo much easier.
Hope things get easier for you soon..come on here and let off steam

Taplady.. phewwwww -thats alright then..we like that one...especially my mums one :drool: ..the pudding version really is nasty .... my mum loves just about any cake ..apart from coffee -but even she didn't like it :eek: .
Good luck for later..they reckon maintaining is harder than losing ...jeesssss what an encouraging thought :rotfl:

Frogga..glad you said "some buns" baking and not "buns in the oven" :rotfl:
I have a loaf of bread proving -but its not quite on a par with baking buns THAT early in the morning .......
I think rockie is an "oldie" too ..I had to join at the start..needed the head start to shift this lot :rotfl: ....
oh whilst i forget.. my e-mails keep failing will try again later one way or another
Well done on the losses Toniwotty and BelindaBear :j

Meals today :-

1. Brekkie - weetabix
2. lunch - roast ham and a bit of salad i think
3. dinner - prawn salad and steamed potatoes
4. snackies -fruit and yoghurts

Right i will get off and get some prawns out of the feezer in the basement, put some washing to dry and then give mum a ring

Have a good day everyone..keep on going -we are getting there

hello to anyone i have missed

I made that same mistake about WI purpleivy.
I have to ask Taplady - is it really like Calendar Girls where they have talks on the History of Tea Towels and the 50 Varieties of brocolli? Mind, if there was cake at the end of it I'd sit through anything.

Food today:
Yoghurt with fruit, nuts and honey (was really lovely yesterday - shocker)
Chicken salad sandwich with mango chutney
Herby tomatoes, bacon and toast.

Snacks - mandarins and apples.

The yoghurt thing has turned out well.. I was only having it cos its end of month and scratching around for things to finish off. As I'm worried the milk was running low I decided to leave cereal for me and use up the big tub of natural yoghurt, which I like better than the flavoured ones.
Amazing the things that we stumble across that turn out to be favourites in the end. :rolleyes:

Take care everyone and all the best for the weigh ins.

well done everyone on losing some. I was good and didnt snack last night, had HM lasagne, salad and 2 pieces of granary garlic bread. Not too bad, until the pudding came out- clotted cream and strawberry cheesecake brulee!!! MMMMMMMM.
So today
B- actimel & yoghurt (forgot my fruit)
L- Tuna salad & fruit pot
T- chicken & veg (no carbs!)
Am possibly doing a run tonight (when I say run, its a mixture of joging slowly and walking!)then off to the pub but I will drive so therefore stick to low cal soft drinks.
Have a good day everyone

Hello folks :hello:

Quickie today..busy, busy, busy!

MrsM - yes, it's Cauldwells Mill, we buy the malted flake, the white and the cake flour - worth every penny! We live in Ashton-u-Lyne but love Derbyshire soooooo much. OH is working there this week, round Buxton and Leek.

Frogga - I might not be 'original' but I'm certainly an oldie!!

I had a yoghurt and 3 muesli ryvitas last night so not bad
Boiled eggs and soldiers for brekkie, new potato and hummus with salad for lunch, fruit, yoghurt and a cereal bar for snacks. Dancing tonight - hope my knee holds out :eek: Tea is a ready meal rissoto - sorry, but I won't be home until about 8pm and will be ready to eat my own arm by then - and me a veggie!!:D

Well done the losers :beer: See you later folks :A

Hi all,

Just checking in, well done to all those that have lost!
My weigh in day is Friday and I'm dead excited as I feel so much better, I guess even if it does not show on the scales I should be pleased with that.
Anyway I now have high hopes of reaching my be fab in feb 7lb:A
Famous last words eh:rolleyes:
Today B-HM smoothie, L- philli ryvitas and apple S- little bit of cake that is hovering in the office;) D- not sure yet maybe chilli and jacket or poached eggs on toast
Yesterdays steps 11234:j

Listening to the bread making talk, I have a BM and love it but I'm not strong enough yet to trust myself to resist HM bread:o

toniwoty2009

me again!

purpleivy i have the DD workout video. its quite good, not as hard work as some others i have. find it really hurts my legs. its been slagged off by fitness experts as it has no stretching or proper warm up/cool down. i quite like it for times when i don't really feel like exercise.

i'm quite a coniesseur (spelling?!) of exercise DVDs . personally i'd recommend charlie brooks before & after for anyone as you can do whichever bits you feel capable of. nell mcandrew is excellent but VERY hard work. all of davina's are good. latinatone & strictly come dancersize - very complicated and very hard work! pineapple everybody dance - the woman is too vain for my liking (ebay!). jayne middlemiss love yoga - bOring! (ebay!) ministry of sound pump it up - if you can get past the annoying male presenter - very good work out but pretty hard going.
i'll try anything me :rotfl:

aside from this i just popped on because the granola i had for b/fast was YUMMY ans kept me filling full all morning. but its not exactly :money: anyone know if its cheaper to make it urself and if so anyone have any recipes?! MRSM i reckon this could be a query for u

oh before i go skintbutsmiling that pud sounds AMAZING! HM or shop bought? i think i need the recipe or to know where u got it

saversarn got my fingers X-ed for ur WI.

hello to anyone i've not mentioned! keep up the good work :T

xx
