Daily food log, weekly weight loss log and support: please join me!

[franch]

None of the other threads quite fit the bill, so here goes: I want to lose 1 stone and get healthy.

Have tried lots of diets in the past so am going to be experimenting a bit I think, starting with some fairly generalised 'healthy eating', especially increasing my veg intake. And hopefully some exercise ...

Most of the Christmas treats are now scoffed, kids went back to school today, so I'm starting now and will get really serious once I have the chance to shop!

Please join in!

since lunch, only I carrot
mushroom soup and bread for supper

Hiya

Well I've nearly survived the weekend but DC's at grannies and DH working so I'm bored and want to eat! Not even the boys in lycra on Dancing on Ice are keeping my attention away from the fridge!

Today I've had:
Cornflakes
Banana
Apple
Grapes
Roll with chicken and tomato
Roast Chicken, potatos and veg
Loads of tea and juice

Weigh in tomorrow so we'll see how the weeks gone

Supper was indeed
I bowl of mushroom soup (with bit of sour cream)
2 slices of unbuttered toast
water
2 bananas

don't feel hungry at all now - think it has taken a while to get to this point of not feeling bored and want to eat Curlycat, but it does follow as your brain adjusts to new habits.

Weekend i had,

Sat was,

B - porridge with cinnamon
L - ham & red onion relish sandwich,1 apple
D - chilli & rice

Sun was,

B - porridge with strawberries
L - 4 ryvitas,1 tangerine & 1 apple
D - turkey & tomato casserole with rice.

I really struggled last night & i had to really fight to keep myself out of the kitchen.I am due on so i just know i will be craving sweet things this week.Fingers crossed i can resist!

Breakfast I banana, 2 apricots, cup of coffee, cup of tea
Lunch - bowl of mushroom soup with leftover pasta in it, and a bit of grated cheese
cereal bar (which says it is only 95 cals - tis very small
water to drink. Early lunch as v.hungry again.

Brisk walk

Quick check on scales this morning - I am now under the 12st mark I was on Friday, so I think all this exercise is doing the trick!

No breakfat

L - tin of lamb and vegetable soup, 1 slice brown bread

dinner will be roast pork shoulder with sprouts and carrots . Maybe a couple of roasties.

no exercise today so no room for treats.

Feeling v. much in need of slice of hot buttered toast but going to hold out till supper 'tis only I hour and half away
and have another cup of tea

cheers anyone who is feeling a bit in need of a doughnut but holding out! you can do it!

Today:
B - Porridge and berries
L - Chicken sandwich
D - Rainbow trout and roasted veg

Glad your all doing so well.

Well done everyone holding strong!!!

Today was ok - had my usual Bfast and lunch and I knew I was having steamed salmon and stir fry veg pack with noodles for tea.

We had a bake sale at school for the earthquake appeal and it was sooooo hard not to eat some cakes - they looked delicious! I was good though and helped sell them rather than eat!

Thanks for the recipe - I might have a go at that (I have never made risotto in my life!)

I will weigh in tomorrow as battery on scales was dead this morning lol!

Good day yay. Keep going all. Don't give up.

well done on the loss curly cat

Has a small dinner so that I could have a glass of red tonight - still withing cals for day (just)

I'm trying not to think too far ahead about how much I'm going to lose.
Tbh I'm finding that though I'm hungry before meals, I'm sort of being freed up to do other things than eat, between meals.
You do have to re-invent your leisure a bit!

I do feel much less tired after lunch and supper as result of eating enough but not too much. I have to think hard about second helpings rather than just automatically take them.

My husband said something useful - if you are going to have your evenng meal early, you have to go to bed early, or at 10pm you'll start feeling peckish again. Too true..

Hello can I tag along too please?

I lost weight using food focus but it is creeping back on. Went to the gym and stood on their scales and could have cried.

Meeting up with my mate in March and I am determined to be in better shape.

Dh is very supportive but I have a severe ASD ds who is struggling at the moment so lots of difficult behaviour and not sleeping - last night I only got 2 hours and the night before 3.

I want to lose 1 stone, which takes me back to where I was.

I am tall and can hide weight quite well but I don't feel good about myself. I am still (just) fitting into my size 10 work clothes but they are tight and I am selecting the tops carefully to hide the lumps and bumps. Having lost weight I gave away all my size 12's so I have to lose this weight!

Hope you don't mind me tagging along and well done on all your weight loss so far.

Hi tibni and welcome. Poor you and DS, it can't be easy getting very little sleep and then going to work.

Egg glad you like the shortened version

I'm still here but I've had a sick family and have been ill myself.
Although I haven't overeaten (even being ill doesn't make me lose my apetite! ) I've hardly moved so I'm not expecting any weight loss this week.

I'll get back to logging tomorrow as we're all recovered now.

I think I may join this one.. Weighed myself last thursday and was 10st 6lbs. I'm 5ft 1in so am overweight. I want to lose 2 stone at least.

Today

Breakfast - 2 Slices of toast
Lunch - Tuna and cucumber Sandwich, Half bag mini cheddars, pickled onions and little box of raisins.
Dinner - Just ordered pizza

Well done curly that's fantastic weight loss!

Welcome to tibni - very hard to diet when sleep deprived! Good Luck.

Well, I weighed in this morning. Another one lb off, so that's 4 lbs since Jan 1st. I am happy so far .

Today was grilled chicken breast, boiled pots, carrots, cauli, brocolli, stuffing and half a small yorkshire pudding with gravy for tea. All very healthy!

Repeat all together girls "We can do this!"

Tibni - you sound v. thin already
Welcome JHKE, and well done Happy Camper with 4Ibs in just over two weeks wow!
Bobbybee hope you feel better soon.

Loads of walking today so I had a piece of bread and 4 squares of dark choc at teatime.
Supper was Irish stew (lite) unbuttered, and broad beans (unbuttered) and then bowl of forest fruits with yoghurt cream and sugar.
Still feel hungry-ish though
It's the weather.

I finished my day with a glass of wine, some dh made fat free pad thai which is so so yummy and guilt free as mostly veg and spices, I had about five homemade low fat wedges from the dc's tea

I might stop weighing myself as the hypno woman says not to do this, so instead I might report each week how easy or not my size 14 boden pull ons are to get on . At the moment they are a bit of a wriggle, so I am hoping that by Friday they are skimming over my hips and soon I will be wriggling into the size 12 in their pull ons (sorry if that is a bit sad, it should be something a bit more glamorous like Chloe jeans but boden pull ons are the reality of my life...

Egg

and hello and welcome to tibini and JHKE it is great that this thread is taking off.
