Yes - a good amount of carbs and protein but as long as it's a decent portion and not a mountain!

Opheliasgoldenwine · 23/07/2018 12:29

That's the thing, isn't mayo calorie/fat-heavy?

itsBritneyBeach · 23/07/2018 12:44

Oh yes mayo is not very friendly for weight lossBlush

DaisyChops · 23/07/2018 12:49

On SW a jacket and tuna would be free but the mayo would need to be counted as a syn.

I try to eat less carbs when being good, have you tried a baked sweet potato?

Shedders · 23/07/2018 15:11

I have jacket and Tuna. I use Helmans lighter than light mayo. Or don’t use any at all.

Bastard scales have led me to have a rubbish day 🍫🍰 ☹️

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 23/07/2018 16:51

Sorry to hear that daisy

I am currently resisting the chocolate bar in the fridge and im drinking loads of water

Goodness this is hard....but we can do this!!

Opheliasgoldenwine · 23/07/2018 17:16

I am trying SO HARD to not open the new malteaser buttons I bought the other day Sad

happytobemrsg · 23/07/2018 17:46

Sorry you had a bad weigh-in Daisy. Don't let it set you back, you can do this!!!

I'm coming on my period in th next few days so I've decided not to step on the scales until a few days after my period otherwise it's all off. Feeling too hot to eat this evening Grin

happytobemrsg · 23/07/2018 17:48

Give them away @Opheliasgoldenwine! I had to do that with my crisps to avoid temptation

Ethiopianflower · 23/07/2018 18:01

I hate my scales too!!! I have two of them one that is a very old friend who is v kind to me and has me 4 lbs lighter than the new wagon of scales I bought recently!!! Unfortunately I know which is telling the truth. 😫😫 we can do this - one day at a time. Broke into a bag of hula hoops today - so delicious!!!!!!

happytobemrsg · 23/07/2018 19:37

Oooo I love hula hoops, especially the beef ones

itsBritneyBeach · 23/07/2018 20:14

Don't let a bad day set you back! We're only at the start of the less-fat quest so don't be too disheartened! 💗

Shedders · 23/07/2018 20:25

Well after my Curry last night I’ve managed to stay within my calories today. britney so true. We will all have bad days. Slip ups and things we wish we hadn’t done. It’s not letting that grip u and turn into a bad week. There’s 21 meals in a week. If you are bad for one of them it’s not the end of the world. Flowers

DaisyChops · 23/07/2018 21:19

Evening all, sounds like you've all had a good day!

Feeling a bit happier as I've just put my binge into my Fitbit and it says I'm 400 calories under what I've burned so I'll take that as a break even as I probably forgot something or for the serving size wrong!

Got to say, those beef roysters were good 🙈

itsBritneyBeach · 24/07/2018 11:21

Well done @Shedders and @DaisyChops!

Morning everyone, hope everyone has a great on track day and remember to make good choices!Grin

DaisyChops · 24/07/2018 11:51

Morning Britney, are you feeling any better today?

Back on track today and feeling happier as I weighed myself and I have lost some weight (as opposed to gaining yesterday!) only 2lb in the last 2 weeks but I'm happy with that as 1lb a week would be 1.5 stone by Xmas which would be fantastic!!

It has made me realise I need to ignore the scales if i know I've been good and stop the daily weighing!!!

itsBritneyBeach · 24/07/2018 11:57

@DaisyChops I am feeling better thank you!

Well done you! That's a really good loss. Stop weighing every day you silly bugger!!! Once a week or even twice a month is good, we don't want you getting caught up in numbers and being upset! Thanks

1.5 stone by Christmas is definitely doable, we have got this!

Side note, I'm already soooo excited for Christmas Blush

Opheliasgoldenwine · 24/07/2018 12:20

Weighed in this morning with great news Grin

I've lost 7lb in the last nine days GrinGrinGrin

Opheliasgoldenwine · 24/07/2018 12:25

I don't think I'll be able to keep that up but I'm very happy with how I've done and hopefully will keep losing weight.
Weighing in at 11st 12lb

Shedders · 24/07/2018 12:28

Wow. Amazing guys Grin

itsBritneyBeach · 24/07/2018 12:35

7lb!!!!!! That's incredible

DaisyChops · 24/07/2018 12:41

Wow Ophelias that's amazing 👏 is that through calorie counting? Well done you!

Britney, same here, just think how skinny we'll all be at Christmas 💃, I've already started buying some presents 🙈

Opheliasgoldenwine · 24/07/2018 12:51

Calorie counting and not eating my usual bad things eg crisps, chips etc xx

itsBritneyBeach · 24/07/2018 13:04

@DaisyChops same here! I have a little hamper under my bed filled with wrapping bits I get in the sales Blush I go so OTT with wrapping! Here is last year's ensemble Grin
