For people who like to eat a lot of fruit and veg but also need to lose weight. We suggest 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, plus at least 10 mins of extra exercise. Weigh in day is Monday. No Atkins stuff or anything like that please , just healthy eating and exercising.

or Reel Around the Plantain?

The Smiths songs go right over my head!

Be as graphic as you like Fra, I love graphic and I love details. That's odd isn't it?!

My food has been dire this weekend. Will report back later.

pointydog · 20/06/2010 16:07

yes, I have seen that packham smiths compilation. Strange man but sweet.

I liek Some veggers are bigger than others.

CoupleofKooks · 20/06/2010 16:43

i like reel around the plantain

OP posts:
pointydog · 20/06/2010 17:55

That's good too.

I had burgers and nachos all day yesterday. Not good. Trying to redress the balance.

strawberries and grapes
o juice
some crusty bread, houmus, cucumber
mango yoghurt

5 so far. Making tea.

CoupleofKooks · 20/06/2010 18:09

i don't know what's going on with my eating
not happy with it
i am not eating enough during the day i don't think so am cramming stuff in during the evening
however by the end of the day feel too hacked off to make a sandwich or another meal or something, so just eat ice cream and lumps of cheese and stuff

don't seem to have put on the 2 lb again
unless it just jumps on again overnight chizz chizz

OP posts:
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 20/06/2010 19:23

pain au choc
ciabatta, stilton, grapes, chorizo and olives
nectarine
1/2 a can of coke (the first time coke has passed by lips in 3 weeks)
veg curry with mushroom rice

Looking at the list it doesn't look too horrendous, but it feels horrendous compared to what I have been eating.

My jeans are feeling v loose over my bum, waist and hips. Which is good, apart from the crtoch now hangs down in a very unattractive fashion. I've got a feeling though that if I buy a size smaller I won't quite get into them and I'll look like an over stuffed sausage!

CoupleofKooks · 20/06/2010 19:30

mmm your food sounds good lemur
i think it is ok to have a weekend of less focus
tomorrow is monday and i shall start a new thread and we shall all weigh in and we will ALL have lost weight and we shall have a celebration
a very focused celebration

OP posts:
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 20/06/2010 19:32

We can have a focused celebration with carrot sticks and lettuce leaves. We know how to party

How was Christchurch Park? I bet it got a bit chilly when the sun was in.

CoupleofKooks · 20/06/2010 19:36

it was ruddy freezing this morning wasn't it? and my friend had put her back out, so we all went and sat on her excellent sofas instead and had our picnic there

OP posts:
pointydog · 20/06/2010 20:23

I ate well at tea time.

chicken in ginger and corainder
soy bean and green bean salad
loads of beetroot
normal salad
another dollop of houmus
diet coke

I had it all going on.

I'd say a very good 9 portions, maybe up to 10

ThePinkOne · 20/06/2010 21:16

Forgive me veggers for I have sinned. We had the mother of all fry ups this morning for MrPinks's Father's Day treat. Seriously. Hash browns, fried bread, sausage, bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomato, beans. The lot. Then we went to a national trust castle and had an ice cream then we were quite late coming back and had a (white) pasta and cheese scone carb fest for tea.

I won't be checking in in the morning

Hope you had a good party Avi!
