Not a diet but a healthy change...

[Joycey29]

Have recently let half a stone creep on (reckon due to the pill) and want to lose it over the next 6 weeks!
No drastic diet plan as such as want to keep it off! Anyone want to join me in my six week journey???

Well done bangers! I'm not sure if you stop losing after a while I suppose you would in the way we are doing it? Ie just trying to be a bit healthier.

Welcome Cat. Your target is the same as mine how tall are you?

I had an ok day there were cakes as we reached our QOF target at work. So...

Bowl of Cheerios no milk

1/2 doughnut (filled with caramel)
1/2 some other cake thing

A random lentil and bacon concoction I made for dinner. Just veg, bacon, lentils, stock and a sprinkling of Parmesan.

So no snacks and cake for lunch still think I did ok though?

Hi Cat!
Healthy is what we are all about.
Reckon we re more of a 5 :2 group where we behave for about 5 days and then enjoy ourselves. It seems to be working as we are all getting smaller - not dramatically or drastically but steadily

Target 9.9
Weigh in 9.13 as last week but after my binges I m not surprised!

Hi Spotty and Joycey thanks for the welcome.
Spotty I am 5'2" how about you?

Ok had a good day yesterday.
Eating spicy chickpea salad
Blueberry, strawberry and coconut water smoothie
Chicken skewers and oven baked chips for dinner
And lots of tea

I also completed a 5k run yesterday in just over 1/2 an hour so am feeling good about that.

Joycey I think I will fit right in as I need atleast a couple of days of being a bit naughty to stick to my healthy eating for the rest of the week

Well done on the running cat I'm 5'3" so about the same! I carry all my weight on my massive belly and none on my boobs (sad times ). Might have a costa today if dh will treat me!

Eeek!
I m 5'3 and my target is 9.9
I m going to play the muscles weigh more card!
Am a size 10 but like the 8/10 bracket better!

Girls weekend in Dublin - this could be tricky!

Definitely muscle joycey I'd be a podgy size 12 at over 9.5 stone. I like to be a perfect eight but I like chocolate more

Have a fab time Joycey I'm very jealous!
Naughty day yesterday so trying to be better today. Dry shreddies then 12.5k run, banana and fat free yog when I got back, two eggs and some soda bread for lunch.
DH tonight so should be able to avoid take away and snacks (mostly!)

I managed a healthy Saturday!! So pleased!

Well I had fun!!

Full cook breakfast

Then lunch
Tiger prawns in butter
Sirloin steak without chips

Wine and cocktails !

I'm having an awful weekend. The dc are being horrors and I feel really fat because I ate all their chocolate

joycey yes definitely muscles I am a size 12 for sure and weigh around 9.9

Yesterday was a badddddd day ate a giant double chocolate chip cookie and then kfc for dinner. (zinger and fries)

Today has been better spinach salad with a bit feta cheese for lunch, watermelon and a few cups of tea.Spag bol for dinner.Did a 4k jog too

Well done bangers I find weekends hard and 12.5k run is very impressive too.

Thanks Cat - yesterday not so angelic though! Pancakes for breakfast, soda bread with lots of butter for lunch, roast dinner and probably two bottles of wine

Back on it today

Well done spotty - good luck

Last night I had some of that courgette spaghetti. It was nice enough and I didn't feel hungry later. Also didn't feel bloated like I always do with pasta.

Hey everyone
I have been reading but not posting as wanted to step away from obsessive dieting and hurt try and be sensible. As a result I have lost 2lbs. Now 10st 7 (again!!!).
Gonna continue with sensible eating this week

Just try and be sensible, not hurt!!

Right I'm all done for the day (hopefully)

Blueberries yog honey

Two sausages with roasted med veg and couscous.
Little cupcake from a packet mix I made with the dc.

Well done spotty, great work on a bank holiday!

Thanks. I've not been back from work long and haven't had lunch so I'm probably not going to bother and will make up for it in pizza later

Well done for sticking to healthy eating everyone.

I have had an ok 2 days too and managed to fit in some exercise both days and ate relatively healthily too.

Feel well and truly knackered today though as work is quite hectic at the moment. Hopefully I am able to resist the call of sugar tomorrow as I severely lack will power when I am tired.
