Yay! I am doing this this week too, thanks to Jaylous suggestion. Had 11 on Sunday, 9 yesterday, have made a speed soup with 6 in for today and will be probably having another 4/5 overall on top of that - so if that happens I will be on 30/31 over 3 days. Be interesting to see the results next WI!
I'm doing this too! I'm making myself go for more variety and trying to have 30 different ones in 3 days - fingers crossed for the weigh ins ! I'm definitely going to carry this on next week too as its made me focuss on all the lovely things I can have without weighing and counting ! Good luck x
Woo hoo! Well done ladies.
Need to add though... it needs to be a portion to count. So a couple of strawbs on your cereal doesn't count - got to be a good handful! (not that I think anyone is doing this though!)
It does make you look at things differently doesn't it, making certain swops and reading the book.
I've been making sure I don't count it unless it a correct portion, I've even gone as far as counting my strawberries! I'm loving it & I don't miss grapes at all!!
Me too Lisa, I check what a portion should be. It's quite an eye opener as I was counting salad leaves as one before realising it's half a big bag for a portion!!
I'm up for giving this a go in the hope of a good loss this week. I'm still getting my head round all the speed & superspeed foods but conciously trying to do swaps where I can. I've just been to tecos with a big list so fingers crossed for a better loss this week
Hope you do well Sweet Pink! I would eat a punnet of grapes a day which aren't S or SS so I swapped for apples, nectarines
& tons of strawberries, I hope it pays of tonight at WI!
Good luck for your WI tonight. I had some grapefruit after my bacon & scrambled eggs this morning & and planning Seabass & a massive salad for lunch. I love strawberries, raspberries & melon so I have lots of these to snack on too. Just hope it all helps as its going to cost me a fortune!!!
Oh I've had my share of baked beans this week As a veggie I should try lentils more but I found them hard to cook, maybe thats something I should experiment with!
So far so good. It definatey makes you much more aware of what youre eating. In saying that today hasnt been as good as I need another trip to the shops but have a nice supper of melon strawberries & raspberries planned (just sent hubby in to get some!!) I'm managing a 6-9 speed foods a day but I'm still finding my feet & discovering new ones to try. two thinks I just cannot do are mushy peas & beans...even looking at them makes me feel queasy!!! lol
Jaylou, just wanted to say a quick thanks and update this thread. Having had weeks of 1lb, 1lb and 2lb off prior, my speed food week gave me a 3 this week and put me in a right good focussed mood for the upcoming week.
My entire group are now doing a speed food challenge for the week So thanks heaps
