Starting today (not tomorrow) - three stone to go!

[HettyPain]

Does anyone want to join me? I'm heavier than I've ever been and need to sort it. Not following a particular plan as I never stick to them. Am hoping chatting here will keep me on track.

Snacking is my biggest downfall!

Will weigh in shortly but am around the 13 stone mark.

Only a few hours to go Groovie!

Here a breakfast idea from me.

Low carb/no carb:
Chuck half a tin of chopped tomatoes into a non-stick pan (no oil needed). Put on the hob and heat so it's bubbling. Add chilli powder to taste. Add a large handful of chopped mushrooms and/or spinach depending on what you like. Stir. Make sure it's bubbling away. Make a well in the middle and crack in an egg. Put a lid on the pan. Check it's bubbling then set a 4 minute timer. When the time's up serve it up. Tastes amazing. If you want some carbs, serve it on top of a toasted sandwich thin or bagel.

Let me know if you try it!

Thanks for the encouragement Hetty.
Plus I like your recipe. I might give it a go myself one of these days. 

😁

A delicious salad combo too...

Finely chop sweetheart cabbage. Add chopped carrots, red peppers and butterbeans. Mix together and put on plate.

Put low calorie spray into frying pan. Add sugarsnap peas and chopped babycorn. Stir for a couple of minutes. Add a squirt of lime juice and sprinkle on some fresh coriander leaves. Pop in a tablespoon of pine nuts. Stir until pine nuts have browned then place on top of the salad. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Nicest salad I've had.

Thank you for the recipes Hetty!

I've stayed the same this week - had a reasonably good week then a tummy bug at the weekend - hopefully next Monday's weigh in will be better.

Are you still enjoying WW kitty? I was following No Count but they've now done away with it, annoyingly! Haven't even left the option on the app. I just found it a lot easier to stick to than the points version; if my leader wasn't so nice I would have left it by now

Thank you hetty I will try those! Especially the one with a egg in it, I love eggs!!(luckily, as apart from fried they are "free" on WW)

I am finding WW ok although the number of points it allocate things can be bizarrely high eg a Freddo is 5 points. I think they have now demonised sugar as well as fat but it makes having anything sweet very hard, I don't like things with lots of artificial sweeteners in and that's what their own products are full of. I preferred pro points that they had 4 years ago.

Apart from that whinge it seems to work well for me although I'm very glad I get the extra points for breastfeeding!
I went over on my points several days this week but at this morning's weekly weigh in I'm 11st 8! So I've lost 4lb!!

Probably beginners luck - as my body notices I'm not eating whole packets of biscuits any more!
I feel better for it!!

Ruby - sorry you've been poorly. Staying the same is still good though.

Kitty - wow, well done! That's a very impressive loss. As for the recipes, the egg one is zero points if you don't add the sandwich thin. Add an extra egg if you do r think it'll fill you up with just the one.

I think all fruit is now zero points on ww. Ice found grapes to be a good sweet treat.

Great recipe again Hetty. Good to read you Kitty and Ruby. Hope you feel better soon Kitty and hope that you'll start losing this week. Well done on that great start Ruby.

Here I started off at 81.4kg and I'm 70,9kg so I've lost 1.5kgs or 3lbs. I'm really pleased about it because they've gone whilst I've been focusing on developing healthy eating and drinking habits.

I'll look at what my goal will be for this week and post it later. All the best to you all. 

Brilliant, well done Groovie!

 Thankyou Hetty. Hope you have a good day. 

Awwh I put loads of smilies on the last one and they didn't show up. 

Room for a bit so little one ?

I also have 3 stones to lose . I keep starting well and losing half a stone and then I get bored and fall off the wagon.

I will weigh myself tomorrow !

Of course there is howlong, welcome! And lots of luck.

I braved the scales and it is as grim as I feared.

Day one!

I hope everyone else has a good day.

Well a week in and I've lost exactly 1lb. Not too bad considering it was half term so more time to eat and more opportunity to drink! Back on it properly now I'm back at work. I find it best to limit what I eat as much as possible at work and then have a reasonably early evening meal. I also like a Fab lolly later in the evening - feels like a sweet treat and takes a while to eat but only 70cals.

Well done to losers - 3lb is great, groovie!

Howlong, you've taken the first step and that's supposed to be the most important one. If you want to add your weight just reply and I'll add it on. Your name's now on the list.

Keira, well done. 1lb off is good. Especially when you're out of your normal routine.

I had a rubbish day in terms of healthy eating yesterday. Everything went out of the window. But I've got back to it today and this thread is helping me to remember why I'm doing it. So thank you all for joining me!

Hetty my week 1 weigh in was 11 st 8.
Lol I doubt I will do that well again so am keen to get it recorded on your list !!

The batteries have broken in my scales but I'm trying not to use that as an excuse to hit the biscuits on the basis I won't know if I put weight on....i know it's hardly a big job to change the batteries , but the baby barely lets me get anything done.

Good luck everyone and keep going....

Can I join? It's also my 40th in Jan and I have a lot of weight to loose.

I'm struggling with depression and motivation at the moment. One day I can be on it with diet and exercise, the next I eat an entire loaf of bread. Banana sandwiches.

Kitty, so sorry i missed you! Will add you when I'm on my laptop. You did so well too!

Russell, hello and welcome. Sorry you're struggling at the moment. I've noticed bring healthy has really helped my mood and how I feel about things more generally. Hopefully that will carry on!

I made a big effort to eat healthily yesterday and definitely felt better for it. Now to try to repeat that for more days...!

Tried to take the DC swimming today and realised that my costume has broken - the weight of my chest must have pulled one of the straps loose

I didn't feel too bad before I stepped on the scales but now I know my weight am definitely feeling heffalump-y!

Sorry I'm late,my week started off really well but I got really stressed at work and started eating everything in sight! Down to 11st7.5 but think it could have been more

This week in definitely going to be more consistent!

Thanks @HettyPain. I'm feeling a bit better today but seriously could have cleared the bread/cake aisle in Aldi today. And all the Christmas food is in!!!

My starting weight...drumroll...97KG.

I've got to sort this. For my health and family. And my self esteem. I will check in on this thread and doing the weekly weigh in on a Monday with you. Thanks for letting me join in!
