Christmas and most of my families birthdays come at once... Hopped on the scales this morning and first time I've been in the tens for ages

I'm going in holiday with dp and his good friend and his wife who looks like a super model, so I don't look like moby dick I think I need to slim down a bit so setting myself this challenge if anyone wants to join?

I'm running the marathon this year, which is great but sort if means I've had and "I'll eat what I want" mentality and I've chunked up a bit clearly!!

Thought we could share food diaries/general whinging and because I love alliteration have a Wednesday weigh in?
Anyone with me?

Day two done!

Porridge for breakfast
Soup and ryvita for lunch
Sainsburys BGTY fish pie and veg for tea
Apple and banana for snack
Body Combat exercise class

Tomorrow may be a challenge as DH is making me a Valentine's dinner and dessert will be Jamie Oliver's ultimate chocolate mousse, clocking in at an impressive 560 calories (it is AMAZING though)... I have worked out my calories for the day and can just about do it as long as I Shred first thing and don't eat much else for the day!

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend :)

Hi OP,
Well done on all the running! From reading your first post.... you want to lose body fat yet you are eating ready meals and processed foods and only 2 meals per day. This is not conducive to body fat loss and endurance training at the same time. You really need to make some changes to see the results you want. The quality of your calories really do matter and ready meals and pastry really are not good quality for both endurance or fat loss. Go back to basics, strip out the shop bought rubbish and replace it with wholesome real foods that your body can easily use as fuel for those great runs! Lots and lots of leafy greens, (are you vegetarian?), lentil stews, soups, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, salads, all the fruits, smoothies (with oats in for your carbs) too. Any more help, please ask, it's my job!

Day 4!

Porridge
Soup and ryvita
Apple and yoghurt
Tomato and veg pasta for tea

No exercise as I have been at work all day. Am off tomorrow so will Shred in the morning before the kids get up.

Hope everyone else is doing OK!

When have I mentioned ready meals or pastry?! I've had one ready meal in 2016...
Today I've eaten a baked sweet potato with feta, salad and chickpea and lentil curry. That's very typical.

I can't eat breakfast I'm sure is psychological but I get massively sick after eating it.

When have I mentioned ready meals or pastry?!

Ummm, here:

"Today is ready meal veg lasange - not ideal but ran out of time to make my lunch last night as I usually do. Then tonight I'll have a home made vegetable pasty,"

Day 6!

Porridge
Soup and ryvita

Takeaway curry and Prosecco - don't blame me, it was DH's doing! I've been so good this week that I hope to get away with this without too much damage

Day 7! I seem to have killed the thread but will plough on regardless

Back on the wagon after yesterday's curry treat. Shred this morning (with a slight hangover, ouch) and porridge/soup /apple in the day. About to have Spanish omelette with new potatoes and salad.
