30st 5lb Start Weight

[Purplestar87]

That is great Duncan is off to a wonderful start but I hear u when u say it's not a numbers game for him, just getting him to a healthy happy place. And like blondcat said 700 cals is way less than a takeaway would be plus he still had a treat.

How u doing? Totm can be soo bad, but we'll done for choosing wisely. The tip of baking the square wraps sounds great, I wonder if cutting them like doritos and sprinkling some paprika or chilli powder on them would work...hmm food for thought lol x

Sorry to hear that trims, but sounds like onwards and upwards now?

I'm still in Hong Kong on biz, eating everything in sight ... Home sick now. Traveling back tomorrow night

Look at the size of this apple, so big you can't see my hand!!

Don't honestly think I'm going to weigh in on Friday, it's not going to do my mental state any good esp if I get back on it when I get home

We'll see!!

Man that is one hell of an apple lol! X

The wraps are quite high cal @ 187 so Doritos would prob be less lol but I guess more fat and salt.

Good idea though they are fab as pizza bases! So much less cals than dough.

You can get corn tortilla wraps in tesco which a basically raw Doritos. Can't remember how many cals but you could try them, prob healthier too x

I'm doing ok today, I dared a step on the scales! 6lb on since sat!!!! There's no way that's right!

I know it's totm gain so I'm not too bothered. Wish I could stop my totm for like a year so I could carry on losing! X

Yea that's a good point. I will stick them on my list to try a pizza with them, used the sandwich thins before for mini pizzas, was fun making them with my girl so she could choose what she wanted on it x

No way 6lbs when u r doing so well, it's just totm messing with the scales, pesky hormones and water retention lol.

I've not had a period for over a year now due to pcos, I would love to go back to regular totm cause I pretty much always feel bloated and pms symptoms. But least my weight loss will hopefully be steady week on week lol x

Urgh I definitely DON'T miss the time of the month weight gains, six pounds mother nature just taking the p*ss. I'm sure the undeserved pounds will be gone next week.

There aren't many benefits from reaching your 50s but no monthlies is definitely one of them.

I didn't comment before but yay for your son and yay for you, if someone has done this for a lot of us the wemitts group would be empty.

Yeah the thins are good! The square wraps are just bigger thins. Brilliant invention much prefer them to the rounder wraps x

I kinda feel a bit bad making him go on a 'diet' but I'm not calling it a diet or anything like that. Just that we are eating better as a family.

healthy things are more expensive, things like popcorn and nuts are loads more than crisps and the nakd bars are even more! But, I don't mind spending extra for our health.

I've got a pic of him from about 6 months ago that I'll post when he's lost a bit more so you can see how well he's done x

My friend had a business selling alpaca clothing about 11/12 years ago. She asked if dunc could model some of them... The pics are now being used on notonthehighstreet.com ! Wasn't he so cute!! He was about 16 months x





See next post for other pic

[ladyfelsham]

Oooh look at that gorgeous smile - and I'm sure he still has it
