Frugaleers talk food/fitness & weight loss - last push for 2019

[Not2bObvious]

New thread for us to chat on

life, I second what not says, plus I think you will be fine without it.
not, thanks but I also know that when I eat well and drink enough water, I feel better, poxy hormones!

I have made myself a nice fruit salad for tomorrow and I'm going to do something with the left over falafel, not sure what though.

Down .2 - so compared to last Friday .6 lighter. Going to try all bran, raspberries & Greek yog for a change for breakfast. Out to lunch today but just a toasted sambo, nothing crazy. Steak for dinner.
Not sure how I’ll get my steps in today, but il have to figure something

Sts which is great. I've been watching the reverse which is about where I'm at so I have the knowledge now

Update! Things moved a bit, ahem, actually down .8 on yesterday so lowest weight in a long while. Delighted with that! Decided to skip breakfast as by the time I had my run & shower, the amount of time between breakfast and lunch was too short. Not a breakfast I’d thoroughly enjoy so I’d prefer to save the cals for lunch. Just over 7,500 steps done, might be a better than than I thought. Happy Friday y’all and well done life on maintaining, living the dream😉

They say hunger is the best sauce!

Well done on loss not and sts life
That's a fantastic place to be

Once I gave into needing those extra cals once a month curvy it was a game changer.

I didn't have 10am snack & lunch was tuna so lower cals than normal so I've 500 cals left with 18g protein to hit

A good third of my steak was inedible, so that gave me back 140😬 Pack of mini biccies with my tea.

I'd a screwball from Dunnes 63cals ds had the gum do I get a calorie rebate?

Pity about the steak but good news about calories

Weight sts.
Steps today 13148.
Food
B- coffee, cereal and a banana
L- veggie wrap meal from McDonald's (did take lunch but close colleague really needed a chat)
D- I had my lunch for dinner, falafel with salad and hummus, fruit salad and coconut yogurt with hemp seeds, chia seeds and a few sultanas.
Made sure I drank more water today.
Had one coffee at work with a couple of fruit shorties.

Well done on maintaining life.
Not great work on the loss.
happier, I think I probably do need a bit more as I'm borderline anemic, just don't want it to always be carbs!

28700 steps but my feets hurt from dancing

2lb up but some of its bloat as I couldn't get my rings of last night this morning when I got in.
That's it do wise until 20 Dec. Do will be on plan until then

Wow that’s some dancing life, you must have had fun.
Down .2, average is now down .7 and I’ve no opportunity to weigh in tomorrow so I’m stating a .7 loss for week 5😬

I think the scales might be having me on this morning. I seem to have lost the best part of 3 lb. I don't for a second think that's correct

Sounds like a good night was had life
Not good work
I'm at +0.1lbs average at the moment but if I took away the first 3 heavier weights I'd be at -0.7lbs also can't keep doing that though

161.1 lbs today

I’d be kissing my scales if it told me that wolf! When did you last weigh? It could be true if you’ve had a good week, esp if you’ve been low carb maybe.
Just had sausage & bacon roll, followed by a mini mince pie. Long day of the kids competition ahead so need a decent stomach lining. I want to stay home😫

If I’d have kept my higher weight in from Monday I’d be .3 down not .7 but I only had that 1 high day so I felt justified in removing it. In the long run estimating an average weight over 4-5 weigh ins is absolutely fine, if we’re not going the right way it’ll be obvious. What you don’t see loss’wise this week, you’ll see it next week happier

I was at 15 when I went out due to shopping yesterday.
Twas a great night. Will be a bit on plan today but a bit off as dodge tum

Weight sts
Steps 12175
Food
B- banana on toast, coffee
L- Gregg's vegan sausage roll and a mince pie. An apple and lots of water today. Shopping is thirsty work!
D- jacket potato with some vitalite, salt and pepper and lots of salad. Then a big orange.

125.5 so a bit of bloat off and some gain due to being a piggy

Quite pleased there’s no scales to weigh in this morning (stayed over with best friend) as had Chinese & lots of salty snacks last night. The scales will not be my friend for 2-3 days for sure. Definitely used up one of my last off plan days on yesterday.
Does your scale measure fractions curvy? I’m really surprised there’s been no move in any direction for days, sounds like you’ve been doing brilliantly - any chance it needs new batteries?

No not, it doesn't, can you get scales that do measure in fractions too? And the battery is fine, it was changed recently.
I am really surprised too that there has been no change, could it just be period bloat?

If you measure in pounds I think you’d see fractions? I think you used to see them when you measured in kilos.

Might try the lbs another time then not. Yes the kgs would do kgs and grams. The stones do stones and lbs.

Guess what? Yep sts!

I have my ultrasound today at 5pm and I can't eat from 11! I'm going to take something with me so that I can eat straight after.

Good luck on the ultrasound, you’ll be ready for something nice to eat after that. I was meant to go out for lunch but it’s very windy and rainy here so just got an M&S meal deal, so I’ll be good on cals. Hoping to see nothing too scary on my scales tomorrow. Going to have to do marching on the spot throughout the day to hit my min 10,000, just over 3,500 from shopping

Happy with a sts after consuming an entire bottle of Pinot Grigio to myself last night, had friends for dinner, wasn't too calorific.

Keep busy curvy
