Shiny new thread, continuing from here

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

Yesterday...

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs on seeded toast with coffee.

Lunch - a bag of chocolate peanuts Blush

Dinner - a curry concoction made in the slow cooker with lentils, split peas and chickpeas with a peshwari naan instead of rice.

Dessert - 3 mini chocolate cream eclairs.

Not the best day.

@bellyislikejelly I like that you allow 5 “free weeks” a year. Does it help you to stay on track for the rest?

Phycadelicsilhouette · 24/09/2019 20:44

Well done @bellyislikejelly, that’s an amazing loss!
Do you plan to maintain the same way?
I may use the same idea as you.
I lost a similar amount a few years ago now (about 5/6 years ago) and although I’ve never put it all back on I can tend to be a bit of a yo-yo dieter and vary between about 9-12 stone. (Started at 16) really not healthy or ideal but I suppose I’m a bit of an emotional eater.
I like this thread as it’s good for keeping track (and getting yummy ideas!)

Is your typical day around the amount you’ve eaten today?

wontletmelogin · 24/09/2019 20:46

Breakfast: 2 hash browns, 2 Quorn sausage patties, 2 poached eggs and some beans

Lunch: bag of Popchips and 3 squares of chocolate

Dinner: roast chicken dinner

DamnItsSevenAM · 24/09/2019 21:01

Hope it's ok to join you?

Today I had
B: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, melon, grapes, milled chia, milled flaxseed, with soya milk
L: Salad leaves, chickpea "tuna", red lentil dip, avocado, and an orange
D: seed and carrot loaf with broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage and gravy.
Snacks: big plate of raw veg, loads of baked tofu I kept nibbling out of the fridge and then an Oggs lemon cake and half a bar of ritter dark chocolate and marzipan. I don't normally eat so much sweet stuff but I think I've got pmt.

bellyislikejelly · 25/09/2019 18:33

@Phycadelicsilhouette also an amazing loss, well done.

Oh the maintaining part is the hardest isnt it?
I lost my weight with SW hit my then target & spent 6 months trying to maintain which was a fail with 1 stone put back on.
I went back onto SW however for whatever reason the weight would not shift so i moved onto calorie counting & lost the gained stone.
I have also lowered my target again for a final stone off so after all that waffle Grin i will continue to calorie count once i hit target in order to try to maintain.

Yesterday is a fair view of my eating. I cant do breakfast, so my first meal is normally @ 1pm.
I will break it down below if it helps you sorry to anyone who finds me boring

Today :
27grams of porridge with water & teaspoon of peanut butter

187 grams of white pasta
147grams of chicken breast
32 grams of chorizo
9 baby tomatoes
2 light dairylea triangles & 20 grams of chipotle paste (mixed together with some pasta water to make the sauce)
25grams of light cathedral cheese

Cadbury snack

Totals = 1017 for the day

B: two fried eggs, leftover cabbage stir fried with mushrooms and a couple of bits of crispy pancetta, coffee with cream
