Big Chief Thigh Chaffe

[BupcakesAndCunting]

New thread for the hench chiefs from chat.

I like Merchant Gourmet Red and white quinoa. Having it for lunch with spring onion, tomato, cucumber and a small amount of feta. Really filling!
I feel slimmer and my jeans feel more comfortable. My face looks drawn though but I have a tendency to lose weight off the parts that are okay to start with whilst the belly and thighs aren't for shifting! I basically l

...look like I have melted. And all the fat is at the bottom.

bleedingheart at the image I now have of you melting like the wicked witch of the ?West ?East.
The same happens to me. I'm an overweight apple but turn into a pear when I lose weight. I console myself with the fact that being a pear is more healthy than being an apple.

Where is everyone today?
Are you all off eating cake?

I have walked the dog for 2.5 hrs Poor thing :o She only has stumps instead of legs now

Thanks for the recipe

DH has just called to tell me he's going to be home earlier than expected and as my mum is staying we can go out for dinner. My first thought was "oh I wonder how I'll log that on MFP"

WHAT has happened to me?!?

Although it has made me have a lower cal lunch than I was planning which I would NEVER have done before.

It did get very quiet here. I am having a strange kind of day and have just eaten a pack of Real crisps for my lunch which let's face it can't be good.

I had to do some work this morning, but am having my healthy lunch now.
I'm trying to decide whether to cancel my gym membership or not. I haven't been for months and months a little while, so was going to cancel. Now I'm being all good, I am wondering whether to or not.
What do you all think?

I think if you've already got it, make an effort to use it. But I am not the person to be advising since I know I need to lose more weight before I can show my face in a gym (particularly when I know lots of people there).

I was at work this morning, pooh, but I an here!

Had breakfast and lunch and I had delicious crackers with goats cheese with a bit if chilli sauce and watercress on top, was really yummy will log it and let you know how much it comes out as. I had left over soup as well.

I am going to make butter bean, chorizo and tomato soup for the rest of the week. If it tastes nice will post back the recipe.

Has Maureen or hugagogo been back on thread? Bloody shame that.

Oh, and we might be going to Portugal in the summer... Bikini motivation. My tummy in a bikini...flip fuck, not good.
wise join the gym!

Chiefs!

Well done to the losers See? It's all starting to come good innit?!

It's soooooo cold to day and cold makes me want to hibernate and hibernating involves troffing like a pig :(

Just going to do a proper catch-up on the thread now with my fennel

Bloody hell a mini-bunfight on the Chief thread! Come back, Mo! I can't do this without yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooou...

:(

Well done getorf on the interview, hope Spearmint Rhino take you on and well done Randall for your loss! Feels weird saying "congratulations on your loss" it's usually "So sorry for your loss"

ANYWAY. I had some lovely soup today from Waitrose. It's the Love Life range (healthy, snurk) Celeriac, watercress and creme fraiche. I ate the whole tub and it was 202 calories! HOT DANG.

My lunch which was
a bowl of home made soup
3 crackers as above
393 cals.

Um Bongo!

Wise - I had a gym membership for about 7 months before I actually set foot there. But once I got into it, I really started to enjoy it. I now go about 3 times a week. The key, for me, was to start working with a personal trainer, as it has really helped me understand how and when to use the the various machines.

I signed up for a year with my PT forcing myself into a regular drumbeat, but they will also do one off sessions, or a short course of 4 or 6 sessions, and it is well worth it. Last night we did chest and bis and tris, and it was great, as I would never have known which weights to use, or how to go about it.

You may be a real gym bunny and know you way around the machines, but if you do not, get somebody to show you! it is much more fun and much harder work.

I made Ginger & Lime Chicken from the healthy section of the Good Food app for dinner last night. It was gawjuss, would highly recommend.

Bups, that soup saound frigging delicious.

Had my quinoa salad combo again, v nice and easy to eat.

Wise, does your gym have classes? I have got a bit bored of just gym, so have been doing some classes, far more fun and you have to do full session. But yes, a PT could be a good idea?

Went for a panic snow shop at lunch as we get snowed in badly and apparently will be getting 12 inches tomorrow (!). No bulgar wheat in the crappy nearby Morrisons.
Heyhey, that looks lovely. The Goodfood website is fab and has meal ideas for 300-400 cals each. Will be making Chicken with Mustard lentils and Moroccan meatball tagine with lemon this weekend.

Ok - so this morning I was back down to my starting weight. Not a real achievement, but at least I have lost the weight I put on. So I am off again, and I hope to be able to post a loss next week.

Well done to all of you - some great recipes here for some nice meals without too many calories. I might have to order the Hairy Dieters book from the UK - it sounds fabulous!

Ooooh I am off to check out that Good Food jobby...

Well done,Spamm! It IS an achievement. the needle on the scales are going the right way! That is an ACHIEVEMENT!

I've been at toddlers with dd2 and then had anchovies and rocket salad for lunch which was yummy!

I've also shredded today and now I'm wondering when I should move on to level two?

Need to get back from school and get dinner cookes before dd1s Rainbows ptherwise it will be beans on toast again!

Sorry for typos - sat outside school rushing!

well done on all the losses.

I've been using the good food recipes as well for ideas and had the pumpkin falafel burgers for tea last night, they were very yummy!!

Im having a baby free day before I go back to work in February and instead of using the time to exercise I am lying on the sofa watching suits reruns. I need to get off the sofa and shred or go for a walk but its so cosy under this blanket and its so cold outside!! I have been good food wise and am weirdly looking forward to weigh in day on Saturday. I am trying very hard not to weigh in early, it's almost as hard as not eating crap!!

mmm frozen yoghurt.

I am still sticking to it, I haven't tried any of these fancy grains and things yet.

I like the idea of the linseeds in your porridge, did someone say they fill you up?

This afternoon we have a blizzard predicted and we are driving South straight through it to a Taekwondo tournament in North Carolina that my ds is competing in. This may be too much excitement for me - last time we ignored blizzard warnings and went on a road trip, we ended up doing a 3 hour journey in 7 hours and counted over 250 cars off the road - some of them flying off spectacularly around us, although by some miracle, they never hit us. To be fair, we were complete newbies to the US and not aware of the far more accurate weather forecasting here - probably because the UK is an island, so we learn to expect changeable weather.

My main worry - food, always food - is what I can eat in the car that will not just pile on calories. I am trying to plan snacks that will not play havoc with my MFP count - this may be futile, as DH is at home doing the planning, while I am at work, but we will see.

I tell you what, it's true that the best seasoning is hunger. Im enjoying all of my food so much, because I'm ravenous by the time I eat it :)

It's true dat, Lula.

I made a chicken tagine last night that I have made 100 times before. I enjoyed it best last night because I was proper Hank.

In Aldi, they are doing a ground linseed/berry mix that you can stir into porridge/yoghurts etc. I think that it would fill you up AND give you a seed boost. Good for the hair/nails innit?
