think its compleetly up to you
i dont think i have said my weight on hear, just what i have lost.
i want to lose a little more than 10lbs maybe 15 or 20 (20 might be pushing it), but loseing 10lbs will take me back to my b4 baby weight,

Hi,
Ok todays hasnt been good for me..
Breakfast wheatabix with semi skimmed milk(same as always)
Lunch had kfc
Dinner fruit.
I dont even like kfc!!I was out shopping with my pregnant friend and her sister, they wanted kfc. I was all set on getting myself a healthy sarny from somewhere. It just didnt happen I really couldnt be bothered to go find something while they waited for me in kfc so I had a burger. It had mayonase in it and everything. So I just had fruit for dinner.
Im going to the babyshow in earlscourt tommorrow. Anyone been before? Is it good?

Morning everyone

Have to admit to having choc bar last night and a glass of wine
And I'm having toast and banana for breakfast - I love bread find it really hard to cut it out though when I manage to I always feel better and more energy.

Well done DIC on the inch loss - i can't find a tape measure so can't record mine but will try to pick one up over the weekend

Morning everyone. Im ment to be going out tonight with my friend. Im not sure whether to drink or not. If I do ill only have 1 or 2 glasses. But im not sure if its worth it really. How many caleries are there in a glass of wine? Does anyone know? I might cancel and go out with her next week instead. Its abit of a grotty day today.

wat a crap day!
i got compleetly drenched this morning taking kids to school,so did my phone and thats stoped working now!
so i can add it to my list of broken stuff,
frige
washing macheen
micro wave
t.v
sky dish
mobile phone!
ggrrr all this stuff has gone wrong in the last 3 weeks! think im cursed,
oh well at least no sky or proper tv is helping me lose weight cos im not sat waching it whgen kids r in bed and stuffing my face,
i think u shuld try to cut back on the bread though lipsbite,maybe only 2 slices a day? or maybe start byeing the little lofs with the kind of half sized bread?
i know when i comfort eat it is normay toast, but it makes me feel slugish after, and also be carefull with what u r putting on the toast like loads of butter and jam and stuff, its all extra kcals,
and i think bread couses alot of water retention aswell, they say "lose wheet lose weight "
not sure about wine.maybe some one else knows?
athough i could relly do with a cupple of bottles right now to cheer me up from the fact that everything is broken, (knowing my luck the bottle opener wood brake to lol )

BlB - just visited the nutracheck.co.uk site for you

Wine (175 ml glass)
red - 119 cals
rose - 124 cals
white - 116

it's got other cal counts on the site eg g&t - 120 or 56 if with slimline. Personally I think you should go and have a couple, and be good rest of day - I'm not out very much so envious!

DIC - sorry about your phone!!

Good Afternoon everyone.

There are approx a 100 calories per small glass of dry/medium red/white wine which is about 150ml

120 calories for sweet sparkling wine.

140 calories for sweet white wine.

I went oto the cinema last night and resisted having anything, also when I got home at 11.15 I was really hungry but also resisted, feel very proud of myself

Reporting back here every day is really helping to keep me motivated.

I have done my measurements, will post up the results once I have lost half a stone, so another 4 pound to go till then.

Been quite productive this morning, defrosted and cleaned the fridge/freezer, its amazing how long it takes, but it is now sparkling.

Casserole in the oven for tea, although I reckon hubby will be wanting a take away of some sort.

Hopefully when ds has his nap I can clean the dining room, it has become a right dumping ground.

MrsFish · 20/10/2006 12:37

You would be better having a shot of spirit with a low cal mixer, 50 cals a shot, no cals in the mixer and it lasts longer than wine as you have more in the glass

On a different note, I am a carb fanatic usually, but I have drastically cut down this week, compared to usual and I have noticed a difference, my stomach is definitly flatter. I actually had a slice of wholemeal for breakfast and I struggled to swallow it, I didn't enjoy it as much as usual.
