I'm starting out again on Friday. A bit to lose, my aim is to be where I was 2 years ago. Will be low carbing as I find it works best for me

Anyone else joining?

I will weigh/measure on the first morning

Helloheyhi · 11/07/2016 07:13

Yorkie fab result for first week!!

Mum 3 pounds is great and as Rshard said slow and steady wins the race!

FWIW, I am also doing low carbing as I had gestational diabetes and I am borderline diabetic. I find it hard too as I love love love carbs. That's how I got fat in the first place Grin

Ah just read your other post, mfp works for so many people and I hope you have success with it as well!

Rshard · 11/07/2016 08:04

How do I put names in bold? I'm on my phone if that makes a difference? Thanks

Helloheyhi · 11/07/2016 09:28

Rshard I also use my phone

Use write name without space before w and after e

If that makes sense?!

Rshard · 11/07/2016 09:55

helloheyhi I did it! Thanks

Helloheyhi · 11/07/2016 10:21

You are awesome!

Superjaggy · 11/07/2016 21:20

Hello all, just back from a weekend at Stobo Castle where I fell off the wagon big time... Going to use MFP from tomorrow and stick to 1200 cals a day.

So good to see so many of you doing really well!

I can't do the bold type thing either?!

Rshard · 12/07/2016 08:12

helloheyhi taught me! Just out a star/asterisk either end of the name.

Rshard · 12/07/2016 08:12

*put! So busy showing off new skills I forgot how to spell!

Helloheyhi · 12/07/2016 10:03

Rshard Grin you totally deserve to show off your new skill!

Super sounds like you had a great time, onwards and upwards now!

Back at work, emotional and struggling with eating healthy, just want to eat loads of carbs especially watching my colleague having a really nice baguette right now Envy

I suspect I will struggle with the weight loss now.

How's everyone getting on?

Rshard · 12/07/2016 11:15

Keep posting here for support helloheyhi.

I'm with you on the scoffing colleagues today. I'm currently ignoring cookies, brownies and doughnuts!

Helloheyhi · 12/07/2016 11:45

Thanks Rshard I am also ignoring the two packets of crisps I have been given by one of my colleagues! Failing miserably Hope you are having better success than me!

What have you got for lunch?
I have brought spinach, grilled chicken, grapefruit, sugar snap peas, cucumber and bean sprouts.

Rshard · 12/07/2016 13:49

Your lunch sounds good! I have had sushi, which was yummy and healthy. Salmon and omelette for tea tonight. What about you?

Weigh in tomorrow, hoping for another 1.5 lbs as that will take me to 35lbs overall. Fingers crossed

Superjaggy · 12/07/2016 21:12

Ah Rshard thank you!! Couldn't see the asterisks in hello's previous post Smile

Superjaggy · 12/07/2016 21:15

I won't have stuck to 1200 cals today as I made a banana loaf last night and had 2 slices at lunchtime today "to use it up" Confused

Hope you get your 1.5lbs off hello, that's a brilliant loss so far!

Rshard · 13/07/2016 07:08

At least there was some fruit in it super

Helloheyhi · 13/07/2016 09:37

Super these things happen as such is life Grin , can only dust it off and move forward now.

Oooh think Super meant you Rshard - good luck with your weigh in today, let us know how you get on. Your lunch yesterday sounded so lush, I love sushi too!

Mum how are things going?

Hope everyone is doing okay?

Rshard · 13/07/2016 12:53

Weighed I at boots as I can't make WW tonight and that 1.5lbs is gone! So pleased, 4lbs gone in July so far and I'm into the 11's!!

Had sushi again for lunch.

Hope everyone's having a good day x

Helloheyhi · 13/07/2016 13:30

What a result Star whoop whoop way to go Rshard Flowers

Enjoy the sushi nom nom

Rshard · 13/07/2016 15:01

Thank you hello

Sushi was lush, from Yo Sushi. They put all the off cuts in tubs and sell them for £1.50!

Helloheyhi · 13/07/2016 15:15

Ooh thanks for that, I didn't know. There's a Yo Sushi at my station, I will pop in after work tomorrow.

Superjaggy · 13/07/2016 19:21

Ah yes, I was all confused! Well done Rshard !! That's fantastic.

I've had a slightly better day today but I'd quite like a gin and tonic this eve... It could all go horribly wrong!

Rshard · 13/07/2016 19:50

Thanks *super. I reckon a slimline G&T would be acceptable???

Did your Yo Sushi have any tubs hello ?

Helloheyhi · 14/07/2016 07:47

Morning all Flowers
It's so sunny here in London!

super did you have the G&T? Grin

No Rshard was running so late for my train, I had to give it a miss, will try again!

Weight is now 68.2kg.

Hope everyone is having a good start to the day?

EvaWild · 14/07/2016 08:41

Keep up the good job everyone! Meanwhile I will do a quick run on my mill, while watching some Animal Planet. Weird, I know, but keeps me going and forget about the stress :)

Rshard · 15/07/2016 22:37

Hope everyone is ok and doing well?

My weekend got of to an early start as DD had an inset day and we had a birthday lunch with some of her friends. We went to a local buffet type restaurant and I managed to be pretty restrained and just had sushi and then a small amount of rice and curry and some melon.

Swimming gala this weekend at a pool with lovely cafe so I'll be taking some salad and salmon!
