    He is indeed :D. I won't have seen him for 10 days this time which doesn't sound like a lot but it feels like forever haha. Had been used to seeing him every weekend but had to skip this weekend just past. Today I'm going to sort through all my uni notes to see what will be of use for my...

    Trying calorie counting! 90lbs to loose!

    That popcorn seasoning stuff shouldn't be too high in calories, I wouldn't think. I found another brand that quotes 35 calories for 1 tsp if that's any help... Not sure how WW pp works but on SW if I'm still hungry I have a snack of melba toast or cracker bread with light cheese spread :). I...

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Just so I don't get too disheartened if it is a stay the same tonight I decided to take my measurements. I have lost 1 inch from my hips, 1.5 inches from my waist and 1 inch from my bust. Albeit that's from over the last 3 weeks but I'm just happy to see the numbers going down :). x

    I found the 2 mile one a little easier to do today so was toying of trying a 3 mile one this week at some point. Worried it'll floor me though haha x

    Morning everyone! Hope you are all off to a good start for the week. So nervous about weigh in tonight. I know I've been 100% on track all week (and I don't plan on ruining that today!) but feeling a little sluggish and bloaty with my TOTM. I honestly thought last week's pre-bloat would be all...

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Not sure if I've posted this before but this is me about 8 years ago before I piled on all the weight! I'm using it to help keep me focused and motivated and to show me something achievable to me. I obviously won't ever get back to exactly that as my body was younger and my boobs hadn't stopped...

    BinkyBonk needs to lose weight...

    Hmm... I never intentionally do it but I guess it might happen on occasion if I have a high-protein lunch after exercising. I always try to exercise just before I eat as I heard you break the food down quicker or something :)
  221. Lady_Amalthea

    Trying calorie counting! 90lbs to loose!

    I'm at UWS too.. well, I have a resit placement to do in September then hopefully I'll be a primary teacher *fingers crossed* Sounds like a good wee night. I was out last night and my friends ended up in The Palace but I jumped in a taxi home - can't face that place stone cold sober haha.
  222. Lady_Amalthea

    No thanks ... I'm not hungry.

    Welcome & best of luck to you!! I think it definitely does help keep you in the right mindset when you have someone to work together with on the whole thing. And you definitely do not need to fork out for a gym membership! Don't throw yourself head first into too much exercise at the beginning...

    Slight deviation from lunch and dinner for today: L - deep-filled ham & salad sandwich (1 slice wholemeal bread with 2 syns light mayo) followed by grapes D - gammon steak with pineapple, baby potatoes, carrots, peas and gravy (0.5 syns, hardly had any!) Not gonna bother with melba...

    My yo yo life

    Congrats on your loss. Oh my goodness though, that sounds awful! If it is who your hubby suspects is it possible they got hold of his mobile somehow to get your number? Hopefully it isn't and is just a prank call/ wrong number. Urgh some people! x
  226. Lady_Amalthea

    BinkyBonk needs to lose weight...

    I would NOT be able to handle that 5 mile Leslie walk on a rainy day, never mind in this heat haha! Good on ya! As for driving, I haven't even had one lesson yet so can't really offer any advice. I do hope you manage to get some confidence about you though and take your test soon. I know how...

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Slight change to my planned lunch - ham & egg salad with light mayo in stead. Wanna keep my cheese for sprinkling on my spag bol later :p. Only have grapes & nectarines in at the minute but going a proper big food shop tomorrow so strawberries will be mine!x
  232. Lady_Amalthea

    I am also about to do the Leslie Walk haha... enjoy! (that bacon butty sounds so good btw!) x
  233. Lady_Amalthea

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Fruit was def needed in this heat! It's about 23 degrees at the moment here and rising - not what I'm used to. Had to slap on the factor 50 before walking to the shops haha. How is the weather elsewhere? :) x
  234. Lady_Amalthea

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Fruiiiit!! No strawberries so settled on grapes & nectarines. I do like sugar free jelly, that's a good buy! We'll be at Aldi tomorrow I think so will pick some up then. Maybe mix some grapes in too haha x

    Oh how I wish I had done the BEd in stead. I opted to study English Literature for 4 years first - I absolutely loved that course though. 23 is a good size for a class :) Hope you have a great time camping!x

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    Morning everyone. I'm going to walk to the shops today to get some much needed fresh fruit & a few other things! So that'll be a half hour walk all in plus I'll do the 2 mile Leslie Walk when I get back :) Food for today: B - Fruit'n'Fibre with ss-milk (HExA & B) L - Omelette with added red...
  240. Lady_Amalthea

    A Healthier Lifestyle Quest!!

    It's definitely the best structured plan I've been on...and I've tried a fair few lol! Only downside for some folk I guess is the restriction on bread & certain dairy (mainly cheese, obv!) but I've never been a huge bread fanatic so coping just fine on that front :) x

    Sarah's Diary!

    You really are doing so well :) I'm currently doing the PGDE Primary - unfortunately I did not pass my final placement and need to do a resit placement in September but hoping that will go well and I'll go on the supply list afterwards. What year/age group are you going to have? x

    Thanks guys. The 2 mile walk is definitely the right level of intensity for me at the moment... Food I had planned yesterday went out the window when my little sis invited me and our parents to a BBQ! We did make SW friendly burgers and chicken/pepper/onion kebabs though. So breakfast was as...
