Banting and banter - making less of ourselves into February!

[WellErrr]

Banting is my favourite old fashioned word. Means slimming, and I got it from Agatha Christie

This might be a stupid question, but I keep seeing 'ono' on people's menu plans for breakfast? What does that mean?!

New number on the scales today for the first time in a few weeks - 9st4lb. Ten down, four to go. Feeling better a few days into no sugar, cravings receding a bit. Evil stuff!

Ndo4000 overnight oats??

Wohooh Patchwork!

And yes ONO is overnight oats! My fave.

I'm done for the day. Need to make sure I don't get over hungry. Went 4h between lunch on dinner, had no snack today, and definitely felt that 'Im so hungry I could eat a horse' feeling. Stuffed now, so won't eat anotger bite tonighy and will get my Saturday walk in in the morning. Period week you will not get me.this time!!

@Patchworksack @Heygirlheyboy ah!!!! That makes sense!! Thank you!!!!!

Haven't eaten very well today cause I'm under the weather My DS has a lurgy as well as his leg injury and I think he has given it to me, period, v stressed about lots of things. Know that between breakfast and lunch hasn't been healthy, but I think my calories are ok, best I can do.
Breakfast - Oatcakes and almonds (315)
I Turnocks teacake (106)
2 Maltesers biscuits (112)
1 Cadbury caramel egg (170)
Have had a pancake with lots of feta cheese and roasted veg for dinner.

Will have my final February weigh in tomorrow morning.

Good luck with weigh in.Octopus, you've had a tough week. Here's to March!

9st3.25 this morning, so a quarter of a pound off my target. All things considered pretty pleased with that. Good luck and well done to everyone else

Fantastic @Octopus37 you should be really pleased with yourself.

I weighed in with my PT bright and early at 7am, I am 2.4kg down since Christmas and now under 60kg which I am delighted with.

I am aiming to keep eating well over the next few days until I go on holiday on Wednesday, life will be crazy busy with work and packing and preparation for leaving the kids but I will aim to make food choices whenever I can.

And then it's off to NY to eat ALL THE FOOD

Well done octopus!

Brilliant everycowandagain I have some NY restaurant recommendations if you need them!

0.4 kg down this week so 0.9 lb.

2.6 kg or 5.7 lb in total

Slowly, slowly catch your monkey 🐵 🐒

I think we are doing great to keep going and keep reminding ourselves of the bigger picture. Well done us.

Absolutely cankles, well done. It's a real loss when it's slow and steady. This thread is so supportive, I'm genuinely cheering you all on when see the weigh in posts. I'll weigh Monday, hoping to be over the 10lb total loss at that stage. That's a lot of butter!

Yes please @Heygirlheyboy we have reservations for Eleven Madison Park on Saturday!!!

Well done octopus, everycow and cankles! It is, as heygirl says, a lot of butter! I wonder how much we have lost between us over these two months??
Currently (or currant-ly, perhaps) making Bara Brith for a St David's day lunch tomorrow. I will attempt to partake of the leek and potato soup and avoid the cake...

No bother to you!

I seem.to have kept to my cals but feel have gone over today
Natural yoghurt, strawberries, half banana and ten almonds for breakfast
Skinny latte
Small portion chicken.fricasse.with shedload.of steamed veg
Steak, carrots and..... garlic potatoes. Stuffed and logged.

Actually I'm a bit annoyed now because e nutritional information on the fricasse was obviously wrong and I blindly accepted it. Silly. Oh well. Got a unreasonably good walk in. I should have mentioned other tip from that book but maybe I did, fifth ingredient or lower as sugar is OK.

I have emailed the shop!!

Very well done all. I have started a March thread. I am poorly today so haven’t eaten anything. Have a bug. False weigh in of 9st1 75

What's the thread title octopus?
