I need to lose 10lbs anyone want to join me?

[loopity]

Need the encouragement and motivation of others!

Hi Blb,
Got my thinking cap on for you ...

What about chicken breast wrapped in slice of bacon baked in oven? Cut a slit in chicken breast and put a teaspoon of low-fat garlic boursin (or similar soft cheese) before wrapping around the bacon. I normally serve this with new potatoes and broccoli/carrots. Not too bad on the cals if you only have 1 or 2 of the potatoes.

Or veg chilli - (it's very low-fat)?

Pasta and roasted veg

Big pot of stew (you can tell i'm from ireland!)- lovely to have after come back from nice long walk

Hello all - Having a bit of a crappy day today. i went to the gym from work a min ago only to find that my water bottle had leaked all over my gym clothes so I'm not going to be able to go today.

Weekend wise, I had a Indian takeaway on Sat night and went out for a roast yesterday (starter and pudding too ) but I didn't eat anything else yesterday so that might be ok! I also went for a bike ride AND went the whole weekend without touching a drop of alcohol which was really good for me!

I am away on a hen weekend this weekend so I know I will totally over indulge on all counts. Still I am being good until then so hopefully it will counter act!

For tea tonight we will either have:-
minute steaks with some gravy thing and sautee potato's(it's a recipe in the Annabel Karmel weaning book)
Chic breasts with stuffing wrapped in bacon
or
Chic curry

I have had 2 cups of tea so far today and I'm having ww soup with 2 slices of plain bread for my lunch.

Well done to all of you using your pedometers - there's no point in me doing it because I have a desk job so the only time I get up is to have a wee.

Other dinner ideas - ummmmmmmm
Chilli
Lasagna
Spag Bol
Casserole
Shepards Pie

Whoops - sorry, I didn't relise how long that post was!

Well Iam having a crap exercise day today, and yesterday for that matter. Yesterday I was too hung over to do anything, today I have been catching up on stuff I have taped off the telly The weather looks so horrible out I can't bear to go for a walk yet, plus ds is asleep and has been since midday. I may brave the weather this afternoon just take my waterproofs in case the heavens open and do a small walk, better than nothing

oops i have forgotten my promise to exercise - but have nipped home for an hour to let puppy out and have done some hoovering and dusting and all the bending down /up to put toys away must help - surely ( slightly desparate tone of voice there...) i have had a slimfast shake and an apple today - i must get out for a walk tomorrow.

Thanks for the ideas. That chicken bacon thing is making my mouth water. I might cook that on wednesday night, my friends comming over for dinner.
Tonight I think i shall make a spag bol. Its easy. Ds likes it.
Sweetheart if thats all you had yesturday I think you should be ok.

Well after a crap start I forced myself out for a walk when ds finally got up from his nap.

I havnt done many steps today, only managed a trip to sainsburys. 5888steps 1.85mile 203.8 caleries burned.
Im hopeing to do more tomorrow. Im going to take a walk down to the village in the morning, go see the ducks in the park. Although ds will be more interested in chasing the pigeons rather than feeding the ducks.
Then in the afternoon im taking ds to the farm with dp.
So hopefully Ill manage 10000 tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
Its me biblilbubu, i changed my name. Didnt like being called big for short. lol. Not very encouraging for the weight loss .
Lornas my name btw. Was going to think of a christmas name but thought its abit early.

I like it, much better

Just trying to gear myself up for a walk, but its not looking promising out...

hi everyone

food diary for yesterday

Breakfast - toast 1xslice
Lunch - banana sandwich
Dinner - chicken curry and rice
Snacks - few peanuts/crisps and couple glasses of wine - oops, said i wasn't going to do that

Same here Mrs Fish. Im still in my dressing gown. Im going to go and get myself dressed now and drag myself out the house.

Oh it looks so cold.

BTW, Dislexicicecream, how are you, hope you doing ok?

hi lornaloo! Like the new name, was never sure how to pronounce the other one! It's a lovely day here, sunny and crisp - will have to fit a walk in this morning.

My old name was ment to mean...I have a big but still little baby. He was 9lb10oz when he was born. I know I know it was crap... I have changed it now though.

Yeh Where are you...
Dislexicicecream?
Sweetheart?
Biglips?
Texarose?
Mumtogusandalbie?
Norkle?
Havn't heard from you for a while. Hope you are all ok.

oh makes sense now lornaloo, i did like the old name btw too. (wow, 9lb 10oz for a first baby!! My third, ds2, was big strapping baby as well)

And here was I thinking that at 8 pound 3oz by ds was big

Well I haven't made the walk Ds is in nursery this afternoon though, so will be going shopping, so shall fit in a walk then

I know I was horrified. He was 2 weeks over due so maybe he would of been abit smaller.
I was 8lb10oz as a baby and dp was 8lb12oz so it was bound to happen really. I was kind of hopeing my second might be smaller. No?
Havn't managed a walk yet either? Im dressed now though at least.

Sorry thats hoping...

Hello, I am here!

Love the new name LL. I thought my two were quite big at 8Ib 1 and 8Ib 2 - wow, you brave lady!

Yesterdays food was ok (ish)
3 cups of tea
lunch - ww soup and 2 slices of plain bread
dinner - steak and sautee pots with veg and some fruit for pudding.
I did eat 2 biscuits whilst I was cooking tea as I was so hungry I was shaking and couldn't peel and chop properly.

Didn't manage the gym either yesterday - I think I posted about my water bottle soaking my clothes. Well I am going today instead and tomorrow plus I have netball later this week.

I'm hoping to get under 10St this week but I have a hen weekend this weekend so even if I do manage it it won't last! I'm just looking at my calender and all the social occasionas I have before xmas - not good for the diet.

Oh - although something good happened today. I work in construction (lots of ignorant men around) but this morning one of them came and said how much weight I'd lost! I was very pleased because blokes normally don't notice that sort of thing. He did finish by saying "yeah, you used to be this big" and proceeded to widen his arms and blow air into his cheeks - but still, I'm sure it was meant as a compliment!

Good evening all
