Tip of the week:
Make up a large glass bowl of salad - mixed lettuce leaves, cucumber, sliced peppers, sliced onions, cherry tomatoes (dont cut them as juice makes salad go soggy), cress & grated carrot (and anything else u wanna chuck in) but no dressing, cover in cling film and it will keep in fridge for a few days
I just use it to put in sandwiches, wraps and to bulk up lunches & dinners

you are doing REALLY well Poppy !
you know, I just typed out a whole message to you, then lost it!!
I was asking about the cheese oat cakes and the red pepper houmos.. sounds lovely, are they home made or bought ? Was saying that just lately last few days, I seem to be thinking I want to eat more, as I have been 'good' about 6 to 8 weeks now, and just maybe sometimes want to snack..When I look at what you eat, you seem to be doing ok all the time, really keeping to it, and for that you should be applauded. Good on you!
I will try to get my thoughts back on track..Its not that I have been eating what I shouldnt, but ( really I have, abit ! ) for instance, a little dollop of ice cream added to my low fat yogurt ..or a bit of cheese grated into my hot home made soup.. I dont seem to be able to stop thinking about what I would like.
anyway.. as I say.. good luck with your healthy way of eating, and I will try to be as good..
see you around the threads !

Woohoo another 2lb this week
Thanks for your positive comments Walkonby, writing this diary really helps keep me on track i think! the cheese oat cakes i get from holland & barret & tesco, they do a small bag (like a bag of crisps) 130 cals or individual cakes in a pack 39 cals each, the houmous i get from tesco in a mini 3 pack original/lemon & corriander & the red pepper one.
I,ve found it's the little extras we nibble that add on the calories more so than 3 set meals a day & 3 snacks.
Good luck to you to

For health reasons i'm thinking of going back to vegan, i use to be a vegetarian then i tried vegan then back to veggie now meat eater again since xmas, but recently i've been thinking about going back, reason being i feel bloated and blocked alot lately and when i was vegan this never happened and milk produces mucus inside and is said to trigger asthma & allergies (which i have), so i'm thinking of slowly cutting out dairy and red meat to start with and see how i go, will update on here as i go (i think the reason i failed last time was because i jumped straight in), hopefully with the healthy eating and calorie counting i will still loose as will be eating less fat with dairy and meat gone!
Anyone with any views on this please comment
