Spring is Sprung and the Easter bunny is on his way. Let's dodge the chocolate temptations and power our way to 7lbs off this month

Here's a link to the March thread

Ha Ha Hairspray - just changed from soup to salad.

Currently my salads are predominantly - leafs, cucumber, little toms, beetroot, one teaspoon low fat coleslaw then Tuna / egg / ham. I had added some roasted Butternut squash that was nice. To be honest not sure the salad is agreeing with my tummy Blush

If not salad or soup for lunch what is everyone else eating? I don't tend to eat breakfast but do have some fruit mid-morning at work.

Not at all jealous of all these bank holiday trips!! Envy

I have FF greek yogurt and berries for lunch or a cup of miso and a stick of cheese, but I am doing LCHF so I don't know how that would work for you, what kind of plan are you doing?

BitOutOfPractice · 28/04/2017 11:04

I'm not sure there's a secret. Just keep on grinding through at around 1100 calories most days and going to the gym 5 times a week. Then getting back on it when I've over indulged I guess. Sorry I don't wish to sound insufferably smug Blush

I have a big birthday coming up in June, hence all the holidays / socialising. But not being fat and 50 has been a massive motivator for me.

Yes I'm off to Barcelona today. I'm on the train to Gatwick to meet one of the friends I'm going with. Very excited. I've been a few times before and love it. As for sun, there is none. It's 14° there today Angry

And this thread has been such a great motivator for me. Other people just like me who are in it for the long haul, make mistakes and get back on it. I love it here

Pebbles. How about a ramen jar? You put there's a Knorr stock pot thing I've seen, a combo of sliced meat, stock pot, rice noodles, chilli sauce, spinach, carrot Julien etc then you pour over boilng water & leave to stand for 5 mins. You can put a boiled egg in too. It's really nice & filling. Lots of salad jar ideas on Pinterest too.

April has not been successful for me Blush I probably weigh more than at the start.

From Monday though, I will be having a month where I am supergluing myself to the bloody wagon, or come June I'm not gonna fit in my bloody sleeping-bag!!! 😄

lastqueenofscotland · 28/04/2017 12:49

That's the sprit beyond!!

I have an event at the end of May and plan to look good!!

HairsprayBabe · 28/04/2017 13:09

Who is making the new thread if Boop is in Spain!?

FreeNiki · 28/04/2017 14:30

I lost 1kg and gained it. Im just so bored of this now.

TVHubbyClaire · 28/04/2017 15:17

Bad news ...had egg and beans on toast from canteen again this morning Angry

Good news.... it is quite filling and I have managed to skip lunch and hopefully keep another Linda at bay this afternoon Smile

FreeNiki · 28/04/2017 15:21

Ive had a vanilla pastry and a cappucino. FML.

Stellar67 · 28/04/2017 15:56

I've gained 2lbs! How how? I was good. Shock
I know it's just a number and I feel good for eating healthy.

Back to the beginning for May.

Yes BOOP. Do not get on that plane till we have a new thread.

I'm having pizza tonight. I'd been saving it up as a treat. Feels a bit like being bad now.

Happy May Weekend all.

Stellar67 · 28/04/2017 16:05

Hairspray I've just stumbled on your thread that's in Classics! Well done, and thanks for cheering me up Grin
I vote you start May thread now if BOOP has no internet in Spain.

QuimReaper · 28/04/2017 16:12

So I braved a weigh in and apparently I'm over 2kg up, even after two consecutive Fast Days! Shock Sad I know I've been a pig but that seems incredible over just 2 weeks, it puts me back to where I was in December!

Still, I did weigh in pretty late in the day (albeit on an empty stomach) and I'm hoping it'll be an easy-come-easy-go thing, and a few Fast Days, some proper sleep and a few gallons of water and I'll see it come down faster than before. Trying to be zen about it as I did have a wonderful time.

I just need to try and treat the BH Monday as a normal Monday, not a weekend day! Grin

QuimReaper · 28/04/2017 16:12

Shall another of us start the May thread?

QuimReaper · 28/04/2017 16:13

If we have a name for it I'm happy to do it, I'm just crap at coming up with titles!

Stellar67 · 28/04/2017 16:41

Quim I feel the same. I'll be drinking lots of water and Monday will be a fast.

My title would be unimaginative.

Right off out to hunt for a pizza.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 28/04/2017 17:06

Just caught up on the thread, sounds like everyone is off doing exciting things this weekend!

And good to see you back Beyond, I did wonder where you had vanished too!

Weighed in this morning and I still haven't lost anything! That's three weeks now. I'm going to have to try really hard not to fall off the wagon this weekend.

Squiffy01 · 28/04/2017 17:11

Ok here it is. How bad is it???

You look lovely Squiffy! Such a pretty dress!

Softpebbles · 28/04/2017 18:27

Squiffy that's a lovely picture. The dress is gorgeous.

I think BOOP has a thread title. She will have it ready for the 1st if not we all get a day off 😂

BitOutOfPractice · 28/04/2017 19:09

Hold your horses you lot. There's still two days of April left yet!
