I am not doing a great job and in the winter it is hrder as comfort food rules and then of course Christmas. I find diets boring an dguilt inducing so does anyone want to share tips with me for dropping a dress size?
Ok here's mine;
Drink lots of green tea (apparently it quickens the metabolism and contains anti-oxidants.)
Every morning drink a cup of hot lemon juice before breakfast.
Eat porridge and muesli for breakfast.
Eat low GI foods such as sweet potatoe etc.
Use slendertone belt.
Filling hungry and normally I'd have a cup of coffee with 2 sugars and 3 sausages! that's not good though. I'm going to cut some vegies and have my healthy snack instead. I have to say I had some wrong food today though - biscuits and some desert with cream. It's Saturday though so I can't be too strict. Do you know if hard cheese is as bad in colourise as ice-cream?
spinning classes are meant to be good.
i used to run too
widerlove it!
dont have a sitter or the inclination to do it now.
weighed myself today, not as bad as i thought.

i've been thinking today that the way forward is to join a fitness class...at one point i was quite slim and very fit...ran 5k every second day and on the alternate days did circuits...when i was doing that i could eat like a horse (this was also 10 years ago)....i didn't worry about my weight....obviously weight gain is about putting to much energy rich food in your mouth so how about getting really fit? i would have to do my classes in the evening, but i could do a different mad one each night...body pump?? aerotone?? yikes
Hi everyone, Didn't have ice-cream or chocolate after dinner, only 1 chicken leg portion with little rice for dinner but coffee with sugar (3 or 4 cups today, honestly can't remember but no more than 4). I had some muffing yesterday though, can't resist them all the time. I'll try tomorrow and every day, it's nice to be together and share our experience. We all have ups and downs but we do try. My tummy is my greatest downfall and not surprising - I spend far too long on computer and I don't exercises at all. Must try soup, sounds really good. I'm off to grab an apple or two. Have a nice evening.
today ive had...
cucumber wedges, humous (sp?) and w.meal pitta
about half a jumbo pack of savoury ricecakes
2 vegeburger sarnies
mango and apple drink
teas galore, one of them green.
halva.
yes
wider i do have the redbush sometimes, the vanilla is nice.
3 portions of fruit/veg?
shocking, im a vegetarian...my goal for tomorrow is 5 fruit and veg MINIMUM.
does a chocolate orange count?

good luck everyone, back tomorrow
have you tried tick tock tea (redbush)? its so nice, i was getting a bit jittery drinking too much normal tea and i find it very soothing.
my diffiulties are that i make my own bread and lots of biscuits and cake s for everyone
hi all,
sounds good, wider - maybe the tomatoes gave you the heartburn - they sometimes do that to me.
Well, today I've had
fruit and fibre with a banana for breakfast
watercress soup and cheese and bics for lunch
pint of skimmed milk
leek and cheese flan with salad for supper
about 6 cups of tea
no snacks!!
(but when I weighed this am I had gained 1lb)

But on the plus side, when DTs were weighed today they had put on all right. DT1 had gained 1 1/2 lbs in 2 weeks

Must be all the cake

!
hi all, i managed to survive on my tomato and lentil soup yesterday but had terrible heartburn...can't think what that must have been, today i didn't make any soup but i have been having a few carbs which is not good.
i love porridge and will start with that tomorrow, its finding the time to do it with a baby, two small children and a disorganised husband running around...but i will make it for baby and me, unfortunately no one else likes it, though the children did when they were babies!
whats other peoples eating plans like?
Can I join please?
Am only 4' 11', and am just over a stone too heavy for my height.
Would like some support to keep on the straight and narrow.
Today I have had:
innocent smoothie for breakfast
chicken salad sandwich(brown) for lunch (plus a packet of crisps

grapes and a pear, so that's three of my five a day.
It's in the evenings that I graze constantly, finishing off the kids left overs and eating before and after my dinner!!
When I lost loads before- years ago I admit, this time of year instaed of coffee I drank hot bovril/ marmite type drinks-only 4cals a mug!!
*me again*
where is everybody?
down the cafe without me?
am sticking to the plan-ish.
had a green tea today.
prefer a mocha tbh!
