Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss 2019 - May

[Not2bObvious]

New thread for a new month!

Weighing after exercise worked. 0.4lb down on yesterday. Has actually been a really good week, will probably plateau next week.

Today is the village fete and there'll be pimms. And bbq. And cake.

Not that's an insane amount of steps!

I managed 33,000 the day I went to see Ed Sheeran 😬 Well dons on the loss

Woah! You guys are amazing with your steps!

No more weigh ins for me not2 not at home tonight

Well done on the steps

Life I'm ok with it not a gain

Sunday weigh in done. My average is down 1.1, and comparing last Sunday to today, 1.2 down. I’m really pleased with that - I hope I won’t regret saying it but I feel like I’ve found a nice rhythm that isn’t too punitive and I can follow consistently.
Going out for dinner later, the restaurant has nutritional info so I’be chosen something good. Keep it light today and then maybe bring the kids out for pizza tomorrow

My weight is up this morning but it's pizza and pimms bloat. Will see what it is after spinning but if it's not down I'm totally discounting it. Means my average is down 0.6lb which I'm really pleased with.

I'm up this morning which means my average is 0.7 up.
I'll take that. Start again Monday. Going to Whitby today so has to be chipsagain

2lbs of holiday weight off since yesterday. Will go back up though as we had takeaway curry last night

Nice overall losses wolf and wreck, small flux’s are to be expected with weekend food. I, for once, was lighter this morning than Friday - only because I fell asleep before 9pm! I’d done over 14,000 steps so I guess I was worn out.
What’s the plan for this week life? You sticking to maintenance cals or aiming for weight loss. Enjoy the chips, nothing like nice proper chips. I’m starving, wish himself would wake up and get the breakfast on (weekend breakfast his domain)

I'm hungry now and there's still some of gang getting ready

Love proper chips I had some thurs eve - bank holiday weekend treat with dc as i knew I'd be away for the rest of it

Well done everyone on the losses & life you've got a handle on this now too

You away for the weekend happier? Have fun! Just back from a walk to the shops with my kids, nearly 9,000 steps done. I just want to hit 10,000 today, that’ll do me fine. Saving myself for my dinner so just on tea and squash for the next 3-4 hours

I was away yesterday & last night just home now. Climbed a small mountain in the morning, then did escape rooms & went out for the night. Many many steps were done ✅

Going for a little nap now

110 cals left for today. Might have some strawberries in a bit.

Today:

Trek bar

Linda McCartney sausage sandwich
Two rich teas
Bowl of raspberries, mango and pineapple
Packet of skips

2 rich teas
Quorn peppered steak with stir fried tender stem broccoli, peppers and spinach in soy sauce and chilli/ginger/garlic.

I'm going to track properly on 1800 to crack the binge. I can go to 2000 is needed but that feels too much right now.
Last week I was like a kid in a sweet shop with too many calories so blew it.
Going for steps and a new Pilates based cost this week until I see physio on Monday.

Wonder if mouth stapling shut is a recognised form of healthy eating/weight loss

It should be life. I want to eat ALL the chocolate and biscuits right now. Luckily we don't have any otherwise I totally would. I've had a massive drink of water and still have a really bad craving.

Just had amazing food & drinks, celebratory night out for wedding anniversary. I feel no guilt, it was fab.

Wreck your food today sounds lovely

Not2 what did you have?

I'm having sharwoods chicken chow menu freezer meal with extra chicken strips added for my dinner here, home takeaway

Cocktail for the first part, shared starter of prawns with a glass of bubbly. Lovely Mediterranean chicken dish and white wine. Ahhh yummm

Sounds fab

And now more wine...crisps and chocolate
Feck it! I’ve a week to claw it back

Happy anniversary not.
Up today. And starting again. Was going to WFH but need cash so will Walk to work this morning and then walk home after the gym

Sounds great not!

Weight still up I don't want to record it though. It's 1.6lb up from Saturday.

Up from yesterday as predicted

Up of course after enjoying my anniversary a little too much, thumping head too. I suppose I should put it into mfp but then the guilt kicks in. I proper gorged myself. Out for pizza today as we promised the kids. It’ll serve as lunch & dinner so I’m not concerned. Only up 1lb from Friday/Saturday so that’s good, last Monday I was up 2lb.
