Thread: Lindsay's: Diary of a veggie with hypothyroidism!

Hi guys, it's my 3rd weigh in today (23/01/2012) and it's the second week I've STS and was getting frustrated so I have been advised to write a diary for ppl to give tips and hints if I'm going wrong!

Monday: 23-01-12

I'm usually in work early and so eat my breakfast by my desk, then by the time I finish and go to gym and get home it's late and as I live on my own I tend to eat pretty basic, quick meals during the week.

So.... Does it look right?!

Have a great week everyone!!!

Ok so caught up earlier... I use to reward myself with junk on weigh day but then though how damaging it is to reward urself with food... Surely that can only lead to issues with food later on?! So I've stayed on it today!

I lost 2lb this week 1/2 pound off my 1/2 stone award but got that to look forward to next week (hopefully!!!)

Hi Lindsay, strangely I am also a vegetarian Linzi! Lol :-D
hope you don't mind me peeking at your diary for inspiration! You seem to be doing great :-)

What a great name you have
I didn't think anyone would read my diary so thanks!!!
I'm pretty basic with my foods as I don't get a lot of time to cook so it's any thing that can be made in 60 mins or less. I didn't realise how much noodles n stir frys I ate until i started writing it all down. If u need food ideas or if u want to share any ones u find u like feel free

My weigh day is a Monday, good luck with yours!!!

Linds x

Well I've been at this now for 12 weeks and have lost 1st 1lb but have got stuck lately. So I'm going back to writing it all down and really keeping an eye on things like I did in the beginning. :-)
My husband & kids aren't veggies so I often lose the will cooking for me as I've already stood and made something different for them!
Have got a bit adventurous this week tho and tried the diet coke chicken recipe (with quorn) and also the mushy pea curry - that was fab and so fast!
My plan this week is to have superspeed soup everyday for lunch.

Oh & WI day is Thursday for me x

Mmm mushy pea curry sounds awesome! I'll have to tell me how u make it

1st 1!!! Wow! That's brilliant!! I did slimming world in 2008/2009 but was too hard to stick to living at home (my mums a brilliant cook!) I'm only on my 4th week this time 6.5lbs down so far

Right TMI ALERT......
I know know why I was a sugar addict on Sunday... Aunt flow made a visit today! Glad there's a reason behind the insatiable craving Sunday!!

At least u know why u needed the sugar hit and it wasn't just for the hellovit!

Ive never noticed a difference tbh in my WI's when it's that time of the month so I'm sure you'll be fine.
