I'm getting back on the wagon tomorrow

Congratulation on your weight loss Pat

And Tree/Pelvic your sound like you are both doing well. Tree that really isn't a huge amount of food... admittedly not a lot of it healthy, but still not a huge amount.

Okay,weighed in this morning and much to my dismay am still 11st10 after couple of weeks of trying to lose weight. .

By Monday weigh in hope to lose a couple of pounds, so here goes....(again..!)

So Far

Breakfast - smoothie
Lunch - chickpea & spinach curry
snack - few strawberries/bluberries

If I ate any less I would faint

Been on a bike ride with dd, about a mile.

PatTheHammer - sounds like your dh being very supportive! Now thinking about bacon.....mmmm

Hi

Rawchocolate-It is very disheartening when you dont lose anything.Usually happens to me or i gain it??

Breakfast-1 slice toast and marmite

Lunch-Lettuce and small amount of wedsleydale and cranberry cheese sandwhich andr a bag of soya bites

Dinner-2 new potatoes,3 broccoli florets ,a parsnip and a carrot with parsley sauce(made with water)

I left most of my dinner as i am not feeling too well tonightI have a knot in my stomach like i have been punched as i'm so anxious.I couldn't sleep last night because of it and had another bad day today.

Meant to say i have been walking again this afternoon.

Oh no Pelvic, hope the anxiety not over anything major. Good day diet wise, hope you get some sleep!

Not a great day here:

Breakfast: 1 x toast and spread, 1 bowl of muesli (Damn that delicious Dorset Cereals), fruit.
2 cups of pep tea

Lunch: Houmous and salad wrap, fruit and Hula-hoops

Snacks: Grapes and cucumber, 2 glasses apple juice and 2 glasses squash

Dinner: Prawn and noodle stir-fry and BGTY strawberry trifle.

Also nibbled some kids leftovers at teatime.....stop that now!

Thanks pat.
What you have eaten is all good anyway ,well except the Hoola Hoops

Just had a ww choc pud also.

Hope you're ok? Awful feeling, I used to know it well but have shaken it off. I hear ya!

Today:

Can't remember anything till 3pm [dd1 ill, life chaos]
Toasted white bagel with ham and marg.
Maybe teaspoon of toasted mixed seeds [yay for Graze.com]
Few dried cherries [see above re Graze]
10 choc coated nuts [see above]
.5 litre fruit juice
4 cups tea
individual cheesecake [about to scoff now]

ok day, though obviously poor diet as per usual. Better though - at least seeds good.

Jeepers Newspaper; how are you surviving on a few handfuls of seeds, nuts and fruit!!!!!!!!!

Must write mine down before I forget:

Breakfast: Half piece toast with spread (guess who had the other half??). Bowl muesli with ss milk. fat-free Rhubarb yoghurt.Orange juice

Lunch: Houmous and salad pitta bread, grapes and raspberries.

3 cups of pep tea

Dinner: Salmon with lemon and parsley crust and big salad. then bowl of blueberries with fat-free vanilla yoghurt.

No snacks today, probably because my meals have been so large .

Decided on a new tactic that has worked well in the past. Dug out a pair of 'target trousers' that I aim to fit into soon. Going to try them on each week to show progress. today I could get them over my arse but could not do them up. Aim to do them up and then possibly wear them when they don't give a huge camel toe and make me look like I have two bellies side-by-side!

Then got a pair of 'target jeans' when the trousers fit. My 'target dress' is hanging in the wardrobe and I intend to wear to DH's christmas do (some 2 stone down the line)

Like the idea of the target trousers Pat. Most of my wardrobe is target clothes!What is your dress like? Am looking for an incentive dress to treat myself if I ever lose 2 stone. Looks like you've done really well today Pat.

Break - ceral ss milk
lunch - pizza and lots of salad
snack - pizza
Tea - half a burger and loads of veg.

Hope you're having a better day pelvic, appreciate the empathy, it is so disheartening and I know losing weight isn't a big deal in the scheme of things, but still makes you feel bit rubbish.

Onwards and upwards!

xx

Pat - so healthy.

Am so ashamed. dd1 bit better so more food eaten.

Steak Pastry pie thingie [df]
Ham sandwich on white [df]
4-ish crisps [df]
wedge half homemade bannana bread [dairy free]
burger and chips. [df]

God I'm living on crap. Will do better when kids better and dd2 is easier as a baby. At least the threas buddies can back me : dd2 has been a...er....challenge

Note the total lack of calcium inm y bfing life

Am back on the vitamins, dairy content or no.
DD2 is cows milk protein intolerant btw, if anyone doesn't know. Think whole of mn know as I have prattled on for 6 months! I sneak in the odd bit aka cheesecake/pastry, and allow myself 1oz a day for tea. As it's that or gin.

Had a better day thankyou
Still cant shift the anxiety but still....

Pat-Great idea re the Target trousers.

Indeed Rawchocolate

Breakfast-2 slices of wholemeal toast with marmalade and small amount of butter(in mini pat).In my defence it was in cafe and there was no marg.

Lunch-Soya bites and sandwhich with wedsleydale cheese and lettuce.

Dinner-Ginormous bowl of quorn chilli with rice

Snacks-2 plums
Drinks -Tea x3 ,coffee x1 ,water.

Exercise-1 mile power walk
Pushed round lanes again all afternoon.

Good day Pelvic!!

Hope tesion melts soon.

My whole wardrobe is a target I hold on to my skinny minny jeans, but I have to be realistic. Its unlikely. Mind you, they are from post dd1 days, so it is possible I suppose.....

Dog -That's hardly any food.

Thanks Newspaperdelivery

Rawchoc- Dress is midnight blue silk halterneck and I LOVE IT . Wore it on my honeymoon 4 years ago and have not fitted in it since. Hope you had a better day today!
