Not a bad day yesterday. Did have some syns at the end of the day, but just within my max allowed, and 6741 steps and 8 active minutes. Not quite at body magic target, but have done lots other days.
Today is already almost over, but only just getting round to posting.
Breakfast - yogurt, grape nuts and strawberries
Lunch - chicken salad
Dinner - Chinese takeaway - beef with ginger and spring onion with boiled rice. Not sure how many syns it is, but I have loads of spare syns from earlier in the week
HA - milk
HB - grape nuts
Syns - takeaway
Body magic - currently at 5782 steps and 8 active minutes, but been swimming and done 1250m, so done loads of body magic todayZebras rock0 -
Oh dear my weekend away caught up with me and I registered at + 1/2lb - definitely too much wine being consumed on these weekends away.
I also don't think it's helping booking holidays from class - I think subconsciously I knew I had a week to play hooky so I've decided unless I really can't get to a class I'll just go to another just to weigh.
I've also frozen my hifi bars as I was eating them far too quickly ...hopefully this way they'll last longer!0 -

Because your following an unsustainable nutrition plan that isnt teaching you good habits.
...
If you want actual results:
Cut out junk and processed food as much as possible, but allow yourself a little treat once in a while. Eventually as you see progress you will be less inclined to have these treats, as they are just short term gratification. And just in case you didnt know, low fat meal replacements and yogurts count as junk food.
Eat lean meats, fish, veg, some fruit, eggs, seeds and nuts.
Rice and potatoes fine in moderation.
Try not to eat shortly before bed.
...
It really is pretty simple.
Or just carry on with what you are doing, getting short term results but no real long term solution.
Since it was my message you answered, I felt the need to reply. Thank you for your advice; fortunately, it is basically the same as I have received from Slimming World. I eat no low-fat meal replacements (except in emergencies when the alternative would be a pizza) and am phasing out low fat yogurt - replacing it with fruit. The majority of my food comprises lean meats, fish, veg, fruit, eggs and occasionally rice and potatoes. I do not eat seeds as I do not like them; I do eat nuts occasionally. This is in contrast to my diet prior to joining Slimming World, when my diet consisted of junk food, non-lean meat and very few vegetables & fruits.
I go to Slimming World group not only for nutritional advice (which, as I said, is essentially the same as yours) but for a supportive environment in which to discuss changing the eating habits of a lifetime.
I am unsure whether your post was intended to mock those of us who like to have this kind of support or whether you genuinely believe that the nutritional advice you offered is any different from that offered by SW. In the former case, perhaps you should consider your motivation in posting on this thread? If the latter, I suggest you read up on what SW recommends before commenting.Mortgage (original/ current):193,000 (23/09/11)/ £102,500 (07/11/2019)

Start of another nice day.
Today's plan:
Breakfast - yogurt, grape nuts and strawberries
Lunch - BBQ - can't control everything, but the food I am taking is all free or speed. Hoping it won't be too bad
Dinner - either still at BBQ, or chicken noodle salad
HA - milk
HB - grape nuts
Syns - there will definitely be some at the BBQ
Body magic - already done enough this week for another week towards my silver, but still aiming for 7000 steps and 15 active minutesZebras rock0 -
