    Spud that is so me!!!

    Been doing really well for 2 days and then blow out last night again :mad:

    But WE CAN DO THIS (sorry :o) And try starting now! We could lose 1/2 a stone by the start of the hols if we start now!

    If you fancy some real hand holding let me know, like you I am going to need all the support I can get.

    But good points for today....

    I have weighed myself... :eek: :eek: :mad: _pale_ :cry: And it really wasn't good....

    But

    I have, copied some food diaries, so I have a good stock and can write down everything I eat, so in theory I can keep better track of it.

    But I can do this and I will!

    Lucy, you're on hun :beer:

    The biggest mistake I made was stopping the diet at Christmas :mad:

    You're right, we can do this. I dread weighing myself, but I will do it in the morning, and see just how much of the 3 stone I lost I have put back on :o

    I will read my books again, as Consultant suggested. I seem to remember breakfast being a hassle, so I will get some ideas and go shopping for ingredients at the weekend. I MUST incorporate some exersize this time though. I have walked loads today, and am just about to walk up to school for the 3rd time so far today.

    Half a stone by the start of the holidays ehh. Sounds blimmin great to me ;)

    Cool, let do it, really only 3.5 lbs a week, which is doable.

    As for breakfasts:

    Bowls of fruit (prepared the night before for quickness)
    Egg on toast
    Beans on toast
    Cereal and milk
    Meaty/veggie cooked breakfasts?

    It depends what I have time for. Only weetabix and milk this morning, was going to add raspberries, I they were a little old :o.

    Lunch is were I struggle, although I have been having nice filled rolls this week which I have enjoyed, I get bored of salads!

    I lost nearl 4 1/2 stone first time... I have nearly but 3 stone back on now :mad:

    But we will do this!

    I'm going to have to read - I thought toast and cereal were on the naughty list :confused:

    I have a school lunch, but there is always fresh fruit and salad, and usually a jacket spud, so I can manage there.

    Of for another hike up to school. Back later :D

    You can have bread and some cereal as a Healthy Extra B. And it's a good way of dealing with breakfast!

    I'm not sure I ever really understood the Healthy Extras last time. Its definitely time for a read of the books again ;)

  • my favourite breakfast is weetabix covered in yoghurt and fruit:D , you get a huge bowl full and it really fills you up and sets you up for the morning.:T. oh and the weetabix stays crunchy so it actually feels like you are eating something no drinking it:rotfl:

    thanks for everyones best wishes for my dad, even though OH and i have split he is being really good, he is staying with dad tonight to give me a break and a good nights sleep, bless him:A

    Can I join this support group:D . I restarted SW a couple of weeks ago and have lost 4lbs. I have to go to the classes as I have tried to do it on my own but don't do any good. I am just off to class now- think i have stayed the same which is ok as long as i don't put any on.
