    Restarting after a long break!

    Best of luck to you both! I just had a girlie weekend, so totally back on now. The photos have definitely spurred me on! I'm not sure which route to go down, I was thinking slimming world, or JUDDD. I may buy the slimming world books from ebay (have no time for classes!) and in the time it...

    Calling All JUDDDerrers!

    Hi folks, I've not been on this site in forever! But I need to do something to kickstart me back into losing. It's getting me really down now. I don't know much about JUDDD, but I'm going to look into it more. From what I've read it sounds like it could be what I need.

    why the hell cant i stick to this??

    Lady M has some really good points, make a food/emotion diary. I know when I overeat it's due to boredom or stress. There are always deeper reasons behind overeating, IMO.

    What have we eaten today

    Hello all :) Eating 1200 cals today B: 1 slice wholemeal, green tea. I'd made two slices, then my little guy moaned at me, so gave him one. L: Cheese salad sandwich, alpen light bar, wotsits. D: WW lasagne That comes to 771. I'll probably have a snack mid afternoon.

    Calling all those 'Healthy eating' or 'Changing lifestyle'

    Hi, I prefer to say I'm not dieting, I'm eating healthily, or changing the way I eat! I try to eat as healthily as possible, with the odd treat, and staying within a certain amount of calories per day. I think it's much more healthy to say you're changing your lifestyle than simply dieting...

    when will i notice a difference in my clothes?

    I noticed a difference after losing 2 stones. My clothes were looser before that, but I couldn't get into a smaller size yet. Then I tried on a pair of trousers I'd had before that were way too tight, and now they fit, and are getting baggy! I also have a pair of jeans that I've never worn...

    Calorie Cycling?

    Oh, poor you! But it is a good thing that your stomach can't hold as much anymore. TBH I think when eating healthier stuff it's almost impossible to go right up to 2000 cals, I agree with you, I'd need to be eating junk! I'm going to try and eat a larger breakfast on the days that I have...

    Weight loss buddy for Christmas...

    Ralph Lauren in 'second airbrush model row'

    The retouched photo looks ridiculous, they've made her body all out of proportion! The original, like you say, still shows an extremely thin woman, they had no need to retouch in the first place.

    Fat family: all seven children taken into care

    I feel like we're not hearing the whole story. Like the article says, "The local authority said any decision to remove children from their family would not be made solely on the basis of a their weight." And although I don't normally just believe everything written in the media, I'd tend to...

    W/C 9th November challenge!

    Hi folks, don't get too down about not losing, at least you're still here and determined to lose next week :) I was in a rush on monday and didn't have time to weigh, think I'll stick to weighing on a Friday. Had a bit of a bad Friday night food-wise, but back on track and hoping for a...

    Woops, had a bit of a naughty one today. Just counted and I've already had 1000 cals....without even having dinner yet! Has rice krispies for breakfast at 8. Was starving by 11 (why am I always starving in college?!) so had a roll and potato scone. Gah. Then hat lentil soup and a roll for...

    What have we eaten today

    Just ditto exactly what Jo said! We all have bad days, but it's the fact that we continue on and don't let it get us down that is important! Friday is my example of a bad day :D Big fattening dinner and alcohol, but it was well enjoyed because I feel like we all deserve a night off once in a...

    Calorie BARGAIN!

    Some other stuff I've found recently: Quorn frozen sausages - 45 cals per grilled sausage! Tesco Healthy Choice Cumberland Sausages: 145 per 2 grilled sausages. These are lovely, and very filling Sorbet - For a sweet fix, Tesco Raspberry sorbet is 85 cals per portion (about 70g)

    What have we eaten today

    Lol, it's easing off a bit now, more embarassed than anything! For lunch I had a bowl of WW Carrot & Lentil soup and 4 cream crackers with 40g cheese. About to go and put dinner on, it's my chinese chicken curry. This'll leave me with a total of 1160 today. Did you have a good night Jo?

    What have we eaten today

    Woohoo! Fantastic Jo, well done! I had a really good night last night, except that I fell (lol) and now my knee is really sore. Eejit. Ended up having meatballs instead of a chicken salad, oops! Then I had 3 glasses of wine, a Cosmopolitan and a French Martini. Double oops! Oh well...

    Christmas Challenge?

    Ooh, soups. They're fab for diets. I make this one, which serves 4 at 78 calories for a mahooooosive bowl! And it's so yummy. 1 red onion, chopped finely 225 g carrots, diced 3 celery sticks, sliced thinly 175 g turnip/swede, chopped finely 2 pints vegetable stock 1 tablespoon tomato puree...

    Is the 2626 cals not to maintain your weight? It seems awful high to be losing weight on that amount - which would explain why you've not lost anything. Of course though it does depend on your age and activity levels. I know that I need 2523 to maintain my weight, and to lose 1-2lbs per week I...

    Calories in TGI Friday's?

    Lol, I'd tried their website, but they say they're "currently analysing their menu" or something along those lines! I hate when they don't tell you the calorie count. Frankie and Benny's is the same. We're going out for Italian now, I swear, my friends are THE most indecisive people on the...

    1,000-cal Stonner kebab

    Water drinkers may have better diets

    I think since I've started making myself drink more water I *want* to drink more water. I actually prefer it to anything else these days.

    Love the post above! And it's true, a girl I know lost about 5 stone on SW, then piled alot of it back on. Not to say it doesn't work at all, but perhaps in the long run it's better to have a better understand of food and how much you need to eat, not how much you *can* eat. Saying this, I...

    God, I'm really clueless then. I had a quick look at your diary, and tbh, it looks pretty damn healthy to me! How long have you been doing SW?

    What have we eaten today

    I'm thinking the safest thing on the menu (we've changed restaurants...again!) will be a chargrilled marinated chicken salad. The menu doesn't say *what* the marinate is...but hoping it's not too bad. Only going to have a had just over 600 calories before dinner, which leaves 900. Och, I...

    Calories in TGI Friday's?

    I'm out with friends tonight and they've thrown a last minute idea of going to TGI's...eek! Has anyone got an idea of what's best to go for? I hate eating out while trying to CC at the best of times, and TGI's just sounds like it's calorie-laden! Everything sounds so rich. Help!
  241. L

    What have we eaten today

    Thanks Jo, I'm feeling alot better about myself, even being 2 stone down, it'll be a long journey! Having to re-think my menu for today. Off out bowling tonight, and we're going to TGI Friday's. At least the bowling will burn off calories!

    Spooky halloween challenge

    Thanks Rhuba, I think these mini-challenges are great for giving you something to aim for. Everyone seems to be doing really well, and even if we have a sts, then at least we're all sticking with it. Well done everyone! I envy your self-restraint in being able to stay away from the scales...

    My first weigh in

    Just remembered about this thread! Think I'll start it up again to keep track of my weekly losses. -2.75lbs this week. Very pleased. This gets me to 0.5lbs away from my 2 stone loss, will have it done for next week for sure!

    Christmas Challenge?

    God, no, rant away! Totally understand where you're coming from, I started off with about 10 stone to lose, minimum, down to 8 (minimum), but it's still a long way to go obviously, and sometimes you can't see the finish line, especially on the weeks where the losses have slowed down. Have you...

    Spooky halloween challenge

    God, I never realised a litre of water weighs a kilo! Lol, will definitely stick to weighing first thing in the morning. How's everyone getting on? I agree with the others Vicky, your mum's set of scales are most likely weighing heavier. Keep positive :) I've got my fingers and toes cross...
