[lucysmommy]

hiya

well i started at 14.5st away last january and managed to get to 11st 10lbs through WW and SW. however after my holiday in sept i never went back to good old pointing and now i weigh 13st again, pretty disappointed in myself more than anything. I rejoined WW in feb and have struggled to lose 5lbs - so here i am

i loved atkins the first time around - so hoping 2nd time lucky for me

Today i have had:

Brekkie: 3 x Boiled eggs

Snack: Prawns

Lunch: Salad with Bacon and turkey

Snack:

Dinner: Pork chop x 2 with broccoli and cauliflower cheese

Water x 2 litres plus 2 x green tea

Exercise: 60mins of zumba

not really sure what to eat for snacks yet :-( so any ideas would be fab thanks

sounds great
snacks :- cheese (may stall you though) pepperami, pork scratchings, prawns, some chicken pieces, boiled eggs

 

[ditzeeblonde]

I love celery with cream cheese (mixed with horseradish, seem to be developing an addiction to it!), smoked salmon around cream cheese, MiM's (check out the MiM thread) & chorizo. I also have scratchings, boiled eggs. pepperami & left overs. HTH. x

 

[LVLLM]

Linz whre do you buy the horseradish from?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Colemans horseradish sauce is the lowest carb I've found at 9.8g per 100ml. A whole pot is 250ml... I worked out that a tablespoon is about 1.5 carbs.x

thanks for this

just when onto the fat secret website and it says i have eaten 2005kcals today - eeek is that too many?

paniking now

thanks for the snack ideas - are the pork scratchings shop bought?

xx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Your calories will be higher due to the fat content but thats what you need to burn fat! My first couple of weeks were higher than that but then the hunger dissipates & I worked out I was only having 1000-1500 cals as I just wasn't as hungry.

Try not to get too hung up on calories, hard I know. x

 

[lucysmommy]

thanks for your fast reply

thats good news - almost had a wee fit there lol i think cos i have been used to calorie counting lol

[LVLLM]

Just count the carbs no need for calories LOL

pork scratchings are just ones i get from tesco/asda. Mr porky i think

 

[lucysmommy]

cool will look out for these
