What did you eat today weight loss thread

Partially inspired by last years epic “what did you eat today” thread, anyone up for restarting one specifically in this section as a way of holding ourselves to account? No matter what your method of weight loss is....

I’m WI tomorrow for the first time in a month and know it won’t be pretty, going to ease myself in with 16:8 for a week and then adjust to either 1200kcal a day or back to 2 fast days a week. Anticipate having about 10lbs to lose.

Today was terrible but I did a transatlantic flight across several time zones so eating was buggered - I’ll start properly tomorrow!

I'm losing weight calorie counting, and using MFP to track what I eat, my calorie allowance is 1200 a day (I'm just over 5ft tall) but I try and stick to 1000 although I will use some of the extra 200 occasionally. I also don't eat carbs such as bread potatoes pasta or rice after lunch, plus I don't eat at all after 6pm.

Today I've eaten the following:

Breakfast- 35g oats made up with water, half a banana, 1tsp of choc pot (14 calories)

Lunch- weight watchers tomato soup, 1 warburtons wholemeal sandwich thin.

I try and plan everything I'll eat the day before to help keep me on track.

Dinner- chicken breast, rocket, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, 1 tbs sweet chilli sauce and 1 TVs sour cream, sugar free jelly.

Snacks - 4 Jaffa cakes.

As delicious as the sweetcorn soup was I think it gave me an upset stomach Blush. I've never had it before and I never get an upset stomach so I can only put it down to that.

I was on set all day and exhausted so it went horribly pear shaped after lunch (which was a vegan breakfast bowl) and I ate a mandarin, massive handful or two of pretzels, bag of salted crisps, slice of bread and jam, some buffal cauliflower, handful of peanuts and TEN Oreo cookies

Lots of coffee

Then a Red Bull and Lara bar on the long drive home

Kept to my 8 hours though

Yesterday was a postponed (due to weather during Christmas week) visit to family, so ate differently to normal.

Chorizo stew (chorizo, passata, chickpeas and spices)
4 pieces crusty bread
6 Christmas chocolates
Apple pie and cream
pasta bake for supper with lots of grated cheese and mayo.
Several glasses of white wine BlushWineCake
However, because I monitor what I eat carefully in the week I figure I can have a bit of a blow out every now and again.

Does the soup maker blend also? I use my vitamix to blend my soups after cooking them at the moment.

Weighed myself this morning about 6 times completely naked before accepting the weight of 10 stone!!

That's half a stone gain since last January and ideally I would like to be just above 9 stone.

Breakfast: apple and 4x coffee with skimmed milk
Lunch: porridge sachet with skimmed milk and Coke Zero
Dinner: roast chicken with sweet potato and salad

Am planning a short run as well.

Now just have to keep myself away from the kids leftovers...

Forgot to say @Kiki, that I usually make lots of soups, but they've not featured much since I joined this thread. My favourites are spiced carrot with red lentil, minestrone, watercress and spinach and parsnip with apple. I'd love to add some new options to my repertoire.
