ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME IN LOSING A STONE IN 6 WEEKS STARTING 1ST OCTOBER?

[katybump]

hiya i really want to lose a stone,i have more than that to lose but figured if i started with that it would be easier.i'm going to do a healthy eating/daily walking type thing and hopefully it will work ! anyone want to join me

i wont be having my dinner til 8 tonight. another thing that doesnt help, eating so late. but dh has only just got home and he has just now gone to get ds1 from judo and by the time they are all in bed and we are something like ready it will be 8pm. chicken and steamed veg tonight.

Well done moonmother! How do you do your grilled mushrooms? I love mushrooms but don't they just go all dry and wrinkly or do you put a bit of oil on?

slimbyxmas great day for you with all that walking

inamuckingfuddle well done for sorting the gym out and one biscuit won't hurt

markstretch 8 miles wow ,you're well on your way,great news about your wedding

starrystarrynight eat the cake , just a bit and then shove on some cheesy music and party it off

pollywollydoodle sounds like a plan and i luuurve the trademark

very impressed moonmother you will lose a stone

anangelwithin i haven't eaten dinner yet either ,just back from swimming still got reading and stuff yet , but am having chicken breast and veg too

I am very very impressed too!

I have been ok - like already said, consistent little changes are the best for me.

I have drunk lots of water, eaten ok-ish, not nibbled all evening, and walked for an hour briskly with dd in the pushchair.

The late night dinner is tough, I find it hard, but otherwise we'd never see each other. I don't know what the answer is there. We're having leftover roast pork in a rice thing.

Here's to another good day tomorrow!

Thanks polly. I was worried everyone would think I was a man tho.......

markstretch I've got a spray-bottle full of olive oil,and I just give them a quick blast of the oil,give them a shake and then put them under the grill,they do still wrinkle a bit but not as much as without.

how about working it off with dh at bedtime *mylittlefreya?

it all counts as excercise

the roasting that new fella is getting...i hope no-one does!

am ravenous and dh not home til 9.15

argh

Will have to have a couple of oatcakes to see me through I htink

to markstretch tbw

You're such an encourager, katy. That sounds a good suggestion!!! Every night, though?!

well maybe not every night , sleep is also good for weightloss apparently , probably because you can't stuff your face if your asleep pmsl

God good polly- just seen the thread you must be referring to- that is terrible, poor bloke!

just had a nosey at your profile page mylittlefreya where in manchester are you ?

Have been very good all day and for dinner DH made chicken pie with veg and I ate a big plateful without pastry!!

and no wine

and not had pudding yet but I will have something good and fat free.

Right, 1st day nearly over with....
Brekkie: Porridge (1/2 the usual size) with chopped fresh nectarine & raisins
11'ses: Nescafe cappuccino sachet & apple
Lunch: Small Jacket Pot with L/F Pineapple Cottage Cheese & huge salad, leaves, cuc, toms, grapes, peppers etc.
PM T: slice of L/F No sugar Banana Bread
Dinner: Hoisin Pork, Noodles, Beansprouts, Sugarsnap Peas, Courgettes, mini corns all stirfried in a smidge of olive oil.
Drinks: 6 x large glasses of water. 3 x decaf tea 1 x decaf coffee.
Exercise: 4 mile power pram walk & floor sweeping/mopping (x2 the mucky buggers!)

I'm doing Baby Lead Weaning with babyshoes and have only been at it a week so he is still only on fruit and veg thank goodness as I can also add a couple of mouthfulls of his left over banana, nectarine, avocado & cucumber throughout the day. Must learn not to eat his left overs when he moves onto more filling stuff!

Am going shopping tomorrow to get healthy stuff but also have a friend round for lunch so may be a wee bit naughty. Am also loving the sound of the mushrooms so they will defo be on the list!
Hope everyone else has been ok.

Dp just got back from shopping- I asked him to buy me some healthy snack stuff and he came back with a big gorgeous berry selection tray thingy with blackberries, strawberries, redcurrants, raspberries and blueberries.

Oooooooh it looks lovely!

Just managed to refuse wine...... DH thinks I am ill now ..... quick thought, lets focus on all the lovely things that we can do after we lose our stone !
Pulling on jeans that have not gone past knees for ooooh 15months !!

first day over for me

breakfast was a mullerlight and a banana
lunch was a jacket potato with beans (no butter)
snack a peach and a special k bar
dinner was steamed chicken breast with veg

also had 2 cans of diet coke and 2 pints of water

i feel good

agree about focusing on the nice things like getting my jeans up and fastened!!

Lol slim, mine would panick and think i was pregnant!

oh and ten minutes on my lateral thigh trainer(in two lots of 5 mins or it kills me )

Well done Katybump! Sounds really healthy. I feel like I've eaten alot after reading everyone elses .
