Oh god, I'd think I'd go mental (or at least over to the chippy) if I didn't have reserves in the freezer for night you just cba to cook. I definitely think I'll be trying that nut roast. :D

Scary isn't it. When I think about how many calories I must have been eating before, without even knowing it.... Bonkers!

That butternut squash nut roast thingy sounds fab! Can I asked where you got it? I always worry about what to eat when I go out, but like kas said, stay away from anything cooked in cream. Saag aloo (spinach and potatoes cooked in spices) would probably be low fat. Chick peas and lentil things...

Thanks! The risotto is indeed homemade. It's ridiculously easy too. Fry some onions in olive oil, then add the arborio rice. Then add vegetable stock bit by bit till the rice is cooked. Get some raw almonds and cashews, roast for about 5-10 minutes. Lob them into the risotto and voila! I used to...

Thanks girls :) I don't think I'll be having a big loss this week - I weigh daily and it's dropped about 1lb so far (weigh in tomorrow morning) but any movement in the right direction is fine. I really ought to do a bit more exercise. :D I only plan my evening meals, and then make sure I've...

Have you put your scales in a different room? When I move my scales from the wooden kitchen floor to the carpetted living room floor, I gain about 20lbs.

Try not to worry about day-to-day fluctuations. No doubt with all that exercise you're converting some of the fat to muscle - which can only help the weight loss in the long run. You're doing it right by the sounds of things, you just gotta give it a bit of time. BTW I'm a veggie too *waves...

*waves hello* I'm a newbie, looking forward to getting to know peeps. :D

I count everything except lettuce.

Nothing to add as to why you might be gaining, but best of luck with it. It sounds like you're doing your body a goodness by eating right and exercising - keep at it hun!

:thankyou:

Same! Whenever I've tried to lose weight before I've become obsessive, tried to go ever more restrictive and of course that's just not sustainable long term and so I give up. The best thing about the healthy eating this time is that I'm actually really enjoying my food, and not feeling deprived...

I'm only on week one but I'm down 8lbs :D

Cheers Pink! Today's weigh in day... 8lbs off :D

Thanks everyone! Sounds like it's going well Amanda! Yeah I'm doing a weekly weigh in - today's the first one and I've lost 8lbs :eek: That should keep me out of the biccie tin! :D It's always great to meet a fellow veggie! :)

I've started calorie counting - aiming for 1200 per day, in 5 roughly equal sized meals. I should build in some exercise too, but struggle to fit it in looking after the kids... plus I'm bone idle :sigh: Week 1 Saturday B - humous on toast with red pepper 230 Mid morning - Watermelon and...

I've tried slim fast in the past - I hated it! I was looking at the calories in it, and how much sugar was in it and figured I could eat decent healthy food that was lower calories - and actually enjoy it! My mum did slimming world, but I don't think it'd suit me. Just trying to eat 5 small...

I sort of started Tuesday, but actually weighed myself Friday and did a decent food shop, told my hubby etc then too, so I'm going to have Friday as my weigh-day. :D I also took a before picture (in my underwear, from the back... it was revolting :() and plan to take 4-weekly photos to help keep...

Hi everyone! I got married last year and managed to lose about a stone and a half to get into my dress. Needless to say it's all crept back on again, plus a bit. I'm sick of being a 'big girl' and so have started calorie counting/ healthy eating. Last time I lost weight I found a diary helpful...
