Fruit juices and even smoothies are horribly full of sugars, I guess naturally occurring sugars can be considered ok, but added sugars? I still like a banana every now and then.

Which one? you left two doors open I had such a choice!

Dum de dum de dum de dum....................charge!!!

:rotfl:

SW take the view that the sugars in fruit are ok to get stuck in to as much as you like as the fibre content makes up for it if you eat the fruit... ie you can eat an apple, an orange, a banana and half a pound of strawberries if you like, but you can't stick it in a blender and make a smoothie out of it as you are not getting the filling effect of the fruits.

Fantastic stuff with your loss. I remember you losing a whole Petrichor way back... you'll soon be up to losing a whole Ajax if you carry on lol (well, not quite, I'm letting you down by not losing fast enough to help you out). Hmmm... maybe we should try and meet halfway

Excellent milestone Suggs. Under 100kg. That's fab.

I have found that the running really seems to move the weight (especially if it's new-ish to your body, so a welcome change). My scales have moved another 3lbs down in the last 2 days! I know I shouldn't check so regularly, especially as I know that when I see higher numbers than I hope for, it causes me to be p#@~ed off and then eat more cos I am cross!

Anyway, rain last night kept me off my mate's bicycle (I'm not hardcore yet!). But hopefully I will be cycling soon....

Yes - signed up yesterday but it's the other way round run-cycle-run!

I wondered whether the hardcore comment would attract attention !

I feel like I have achieved today - bigtime. I lost 5lbs last week but yesterday was last day at uni so there was cakes and a meal out, I didn't drink but ate what I wanted.
Usually I would continue the bad eating for several days, often leading to total meltdown of diet. MY WORST NIGHTMARE. But........today I was back down to it and even refused a donut at work. I really feel this is a massive step for me and I hope to report a loss next Wednesday.:j

That is the trick! You have to learn to treat yourself then stop well done!
Goes for the same re: the takeaways too. I usually have one every couple of months, I know that they are basically flavored fat, but I enjoy them because of that, then get back on the diet

I'm sure you healthy eating savvy types are aware of this - however I'm shocked by a discovery I made today... I got a long overdue hair cut this afternoon. Whilst in the salon I read an article about weight loss - it mentioned to beware of fruit juices as they contain the SAME if not MORE amount of sugar compared to fizzy drinks.

I think it's recommended only 250ml a day for fruit juice. I know that only one glass counts towards your 5 a day, no matter how much you drink, so I think 250ml sounds about right.

Really excited today, Meat loaf concert tonight can't wait!

Interesting article in the Mail yesterday about fructose being a contributory factor in fat around the stomach -
