KATYBUMPERS FRESH START FEBRUARY

[katylessbumpy]

for all those that have fallen off the wagon.for old friends and new.this time it's serious

Jahan, I love mushy peas - how does Nigella do them?

i lost 2 lbs
so 12 lbs in 5 weeks
just off to school so back soon

I don't know if this is her exact recipe but something along these lines;
boil a load of frozen peas with a clove or 2 of garlic and some mint leaves (I happen to have some but don't always use). When they are done, whizz up with some creme fraiche (I use yoghurt if being healthy) and seasoning. Its really nice.

Woohoo!
Well done Katy! I'm there with you next week!

I've put a pound on

Struggling to be good today as I am starving all the time, went to soft play with friends this morning and couldn't say no to being bought a huge slice of choc brownie to go with the cup of tea (friends b'day) so today so far

2 crumpets and flora light
Large chunk of choc brownie
1/2 slice w/m bread with cheese (ds leftovers)
1 crumpet and flora light, slice of pizza (ds's tea leftovers)

Out for a meal tonight too, lets just hope I can salvage something, HELP ME before I put on all I have spent the last 4 weeks losing

Oh and congrats katy

sooooooooooooooo tempted to eat mindees dinner it's pizza and salad
i really want it
shall i eat it and regret it OR bin it and make myself a ww ready meal with salad......

mindee has gone home btw - i'm not thinking of nicking it from under her nose!

bin it NOW lovemygirls!

mrsfish,are you going to a place where you can order extra veggies with your meal?try and have them to fill you up and then draw a line under today and start afresh tomorrow.one bad day won't ruin your diet but giving up will

Put on 1 lb this week, I'm hoping it's because AF is visiting!

Anyway here's todays menu:-

B=Weetabix, orange juice.
S=Bananana.
L=Marmite sandwich (wm bread), apple, bluberries.
S=Options and wasabi beans.

Dinner will be a Pizza Express Margarita, and some salad.

Fingers crossed for next week, but well done all the "Losers"

try not to worry currantbunmum,your menu today sounds good,just stay positive and you'll see a loss next week

I had 2 little nibbles but now i'm having my WW lasagne as compromise and munched on salad while i was waiting!

Does AF make a differnce to your weight because that would explain why i've not lost anything so far this week!

So far today i've had.........

B- porridge and honey
L- 2 ryvita with philli and cucumber and half a melon
S- 2 apples (i was hungry!)
D- WW lasagne and salad (alright i'll admit 2 bites of pizza)

I'm still hungry.........Well i have walked a bit today and AF is here - I swear she saps your energy and makes you ravenous!

I want choc biscuits!

Absolutley saps your energy, and makes me want to eat chocolate, I'm not normally that bothered about chocolate, but a day or so before AF arrives I could eat bars and bars!

didnt any of you read my thread??? It was quite amusing you know

HERE

maybe you will all find this one more helpful though!
I had it bookmarked ages ok and have not actually read it until just now, looks quite good actually.

DROP A DRESS SIZE IN FIVE DAYS

i did susie,sorry chick.
i am on my way back to read your link,think the at you giving up chocolate made me forget and the fact that dd has been screaming on and off for the last 24hrs with her teeth.

susie you little minx. pmsl.reminds me of the cleaner lady in will and grace !

i really didn't mean to ignore you.still friends? and are you really giving up chocolate??????????

right am off to read your drop a dress size and feddas craving link from last night.anbesol and calpol seem to have tamed the beast for now

Susie that's really funny! When is your cleaning lady due back?

Katy have you tried ashtons? We also used medised the odd night when she was really really badly in pain.

i haven't tried ashtons yet,they are the powders aren't they?
i just wish they would hurry up,the poor thing has been suffering for ages but the last 24 hrs have been awful for her
i've got the calpol and ibuprofen on standby lol

katymyonlybumpswillbemyboobs another one for medised here....

susie...very funny! just don't try to show her how to use your feather duster

well today
brekkie....muesli
lunch.....mackeral salad sarnie and grapes
late afternoon. outpatients canteen. scone and butter (not nice)
eve.......pasta, veg sauce, half a pitta, a nubbin of dd's cake and a few more grapes

lord knows why, but hungry again by 9 so a bowl of special k and a piece of toast with marmite

eat well ladies.

hope you have settled in ok mylittlepud

'tis ok really Katy of course still friends
Also, on the teething, I found the Ambesol Liquid is really good. she hates it when I first do it, then I notice she is def more comfy. I cannot get the gel to go on where its needed and takes longer to apply than a few dabs of liquid on my finger... Also, medised for sure...

Polly, i[m always hungry in the eve. I have been out today and got some dried fruit. I know still not great, but better than sweets and choc. I will def do it for lent. I'm good when i really decide to do something.

I also bought some Lecithin powder/granuals. Supposed to help with the digestion of dietry fats, and good for recucing cholesterol. So, thought it worth a try. I also noticed when i took the teaspoon it suggests, neat from the spoon, i was not hungry at all after i took it. It tastes really odd, not unpleasant, but leaves a kind of oily feeling in the mouth. in a satisfying odd way... worth a try I thought.

I also have some grains to much on. sunflower, pumpkin, linseed, seseme seeds allm iked together. I like them all, and they are high in omega 3 so not bad either...

TODAYS HEALTHY FACT / TIP
3 dried Apricots = one portion from your 5 a day. high in fibre and all sorts of other good things i cannot remember! Good hey though?

Be good all.

Well I am quite proud of myself tonight on my meal out

I had smoked salmon for starter, it was a thin piece and I only ate one of the pieces of bread with it (no butter)
For the main meal I had wild mushroom and spinach risotto and only had half of it, even though it was delicious and I could have eaten it all. I drove so no wine but must have drank about a litre of water. For dessert I had a black coffee and 3 of the little petis fours (god knows what they are called that you have with coffee, one of them was a piece of fudge and two mini meringues with fruit on top

I have also decided to give up alcohol for Lent, apart from one bottle of fizz on my birthday

I am feeling positive again, we've been invited to a black tie do on the 26th March so that is my next goal, I want to lose at least half a stone by then which is more than doable if I am very good and start the exercise again.

Off to bed now as I'm knackered

Oh and I am a great advocate of medised, I actually had to wean ds1 off it at one point [

Hi everyone well i weighed myself this morning (offical weigh in tomorrow) AND i've lost 2lbs so i'm really really motivated today to try and see if i can get another 1lb off by tomorrow! Even if not i'm still really pleased with 2lb considering I havent been as good as i could have this week and i've had af.

Now i'm having half semi and half skimmed milk in my porridge and no treats today any snacking will be fruit and if i'm starving by tonight I will have a bowl of porridge!
