Loosing 6 stone + - anyone want to join me? :D

[LovingTheRain]

Starting tomorrow, my healthy eating begins (And exercise)

I am going to loose 6 stone (atleast).

Would love others to join me who want to loose some weight, we can support eachother etc!

Morning ladies!!

Glad to see you all down so well yesterday, I had a bit of a pig out for friend's birthday last night but did say I would start today LOL.

How is everyone feeling today I am feeling majorly motivated for some reason but good times!!!

Well I had some porridge and rasins with a teaspoon of honey was yummy! And I had a glass of milk when I get up as usual but I always do that so work it in with my brekkie although I swear that the milk helps keep me fuller for longer!

I am going on the hunt for some fitness DVD's today can any of you recommend any?

Eyeballs back away from the bathroom scales!!

Your weight will naturally go up and down throughout the week but over 7 days it balances itself out so do what I do and put them in an awkward place LOL. In the cupboard under the pots otherwise I'd be weighing every day!!!

Sounds like a nice brekkie mamdiva. Milk makes me feel full too!

I still haven't eaten anything yet, but didn't have to do the school run as DH is home as someone is coming to buy his old car.

I have heard people say good things about the Davina Dvd, though haven't tried it myself (I know that's not very helpful - sorry )

I have heard good about that too but only from 2 friends who are Davina daft LOL. So helpful wonder if I advertise on here if anyone would have any spare?!

Don't ask don't get

Sat flicking through my weight watchers magazine and some of it sounds yummy....

LOL I'll put the scales in the biscuit cupboard and kill two birds with one stone. The sight of them there will keep me from the biccies.

Porridge tomorrow onwards as I don't work Thurs and Fri. Mon-Weds it's quick and easy as I'm running out the door.

I'm just thinking about our dinner tonight now.

I work from 5-7pm Monday-Friday so don't really get a chance to cook dinner for DS and DP so I tend to come in about 8 after they have had theirs and make whatever I can find usually something crappy and quick

I might start making the dinner in the afternoon and plate mine up and shove it the microwave so that I have my meal ready amde when I get in just a case of heating it up.

Get a slow cooker. I broke mine last week and it feels like I've lost a limb. Meat, veggies, bit of stock, delicious

What sort of porridge do you have Eyeballs? I usually have readybrek as it's what the DCs have, but maybe i should have a more 'grown up' one!!

Sounds good mamadiva. I often make the meal in the day or make a few and then put them in the fridge if for that day or the freezer if for another day. Then you can always have a healthy meal ready for when you're home

I just buy the big bag of ALDI porridge for 99p it tastes just as good and only takes 5 minutes maximum to make not much lionger than Ready brek really

I want a slow cooker but DS and DP are the fussiest buggers I have ever met in my life!

Neither will eat veggies of any kind and just for me would be a waste of time really, I just use the steamfresh bags of frozen veg as fresh just goes to waste.

There is a new Aldi in the town near where we live. Haven't been in it before as we've never had one near us, but was thinking of checking it out after i go and pick up a rug doctor from homebase.

Aldi is great! especially if you are on a budget LTR!

Their fruit and veggies tends to be mega cheap and seem to last longer comapred to asda/tesco obviously.

Go on be brave try some grown up porridge

Morning ladies

I had fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, I need to get some healthy ceral - I'm not keen on porridge. Do any of you know a nice one?

Mamadive I work 3.30pm - 7. 30pm which means I'm not home for dinner either. I normally make it before I go to work if its a bolanagise/curry/stew/chilli/pie and then dh will either reheat it for him and dd at dinner time or if its a pie he'll put it in to cook and I'll reheat mine when I get in.

If I do need to cook something quick when I get it then salmon baked in the oven is quick, so is a stir fry.

Norty Eyeballs weighing yourself today

a nice cereal?

I think plain ones with added fruit is the nicest TBH

How about a muesli?

What fruit and yoghurt do you use PieceNharmoknee?

I don't each much fruit beyond bananas.

Have just eaten a banana as my mid morning snack and am going to mop the floors. Should burn a few calories!

I quite like cornflakes as a nice cereal. Add sultanas to mine with a little milk.

I heard granola is nice but haven't tried it. Will buy a low sugar one at supermarket later

LTR I usually have blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and now strawberries are just coming in season them too, with some fat free plain yogurt and maybe a teaspoon of honey if I need something sweet.

I think I'll get some muesli next time I go shopping

Mamadiva I did Davina's dvd yesterday, it seemed ok. Hard work and my legs hurt today but I haven't done another fitness dvd so I have nothing to compare it to

I have to add that I have only just started having fruit and yogurt. It was the 'what do you have for breakfast?' thread that inspired me. Before that I used to skip breakfast then be starving by 11 and fill up on something very calorific

Am thinking about starting my lunch now. Will take about 30 mins to prepare so if i do it now, can eat at 12ish!

Are you still having pasta and salad LTR?

I am thinking of having pasta with some red pesto for lucnch - is that healthy do you think?

MMMM.... pasta Might have some pasta and arrabiata sauce and a muller rice.

I am off swimming tonight aiming for minimum of 4 lengths! I normally end up sat chilling at the end of the pool talking to some randomer LOL.

I think pasta is always a healthy option it's the portion sizes you have to worry about, well I d anyway I love pasta.

I have such warped ideas of food, I also think of pasta as being unhealthy because of the carbs. I really do need to learn about food.

I love pasta as well but I can eat a whole packet, so, apart from last night I'm going to steer clear I think. Or het DH to cook it because he only cooks 5 spirals each!

I am having pasta pieceNh. I weighed out 3oz of wholemeal pasta and have got it with cucumber, tomato, onion and a little bit of cheese. is really tasty and according to the slimming world 'green day' all are free foods bar the cheese (borrowed the books from my mum).
I am not going to follow the slimmingworld diet per-se but will use as a guide to help me.

Your lunch sounds good too pieceNh. Not a big lover of pesto so not sure how healthy it is but am sure it is

Welldone on the swimming mamadiva, i want to go too, but won't be able to go before saturday. (Am looking forward to it though!)

I am very of all your bravery to go swimming - wish I could. DH says he will come with me but I cant do it.

I havent got wholemeal pasta, another thing I'll have to add to the shopping list, is it nice?

Not as nice as normal but i'll get used to it! Was a bit eurggh the first few mouthfuls but once i ate it with the tomato etc etc it was fine
