Online Meeting Thread - Week Two!

[Bostik]

Hey guys!

Okay, so how was everyone's first week? Hope people have been on track! (A lot better than me anyway!)

Weigh in - Post your losses this week. Hope you all did brilliant I'll leave slimmer of the week stuff to caroline!

Challenges - How did you all do on your challenges you set yourselves?

Any ideas for a topic of discussion for this week? x

 

[thatlittlebit]

Woohoo I was sitting there pressing refresh

Unforunately it's all dismal on my end
- didn't manage to complete my challenge...
- haven't been weighing because I've been poorly and eating terribly!

but, i'm still here to give support to everyone else!
Hope everyone's week has been good, looking forward to hearing completed challenges and losses

When you say discussion could i ask about low-calorie desserts? or anything else anyone wants to talk about

 

[Bostik]

Ah my weeks been pretty terrible too! Ate out a lot as it was my birthday. Lots of yummy food for Eid too. Managed an STS this week (184.4)! Very surprised I didn't gain!

Hope you're feeling better soon hun!

Not too sure about desserts myself. Not really got a sweet tooth! Actually meringues are surprisingly low in calories. Sure you could do something with that you know.

 

[thatlittlebit]

Ooh yes, acutally the other did I made lazy practically calorie free meringues

Put 2 table spoons of sweetner in a cup, literally drop in egg white until it forms a sort of paste then put in the microwave and they turn into mergineus! sp clearly


Where did you go for your birthday??

 

[dawnbirduk]

I am sorry you didn't have such a good week thatlittlebit, hopefully you will have a much better week next week, take care.

I didn't do too bad this week, i LOST 1lb when i weighed earlier to my delight. I am trying to get back on track, i stayed within my calories every day apart from Monday.

Going to attempt to make low calorie meals and freeze them to help with portion control, when i make a recipe for 4 i will freeze 3 portions, as i eat seperately from my hubby as he eats most unhealthily. Will see how it goes just ordered 50 foil dishes from ebay for 4.99 to help with my freezing campaign.

 

[Shazzabir]

I have had a better week, not quite hit my exercise goals but still lost 1 lb, so quite pleased.
Hope everyone else has had a good week!

 

[dawnbirduk]

Seems like we need lots of hugs on here tonight

Desserts - i have a counting calorie blog, i have posted the links for the labels Desserts and Puddings, hope this helps.

Dawns Calorie Counted Recipes: Dessert
Dawns Calorie Counted Recipes: Puddings

One Dessert which is nice, is a meringue nest, covered in fresh fruit topped with any flavour low fat yoghurt, you get the sweet crispiness of meringue, healthy fruit and the creaminess of the yoghurt.

 

[Shazzabir]

I have invested in a vacuum food sealer, food is meant to last 5 times longer than a normal fridge. At the min busy sealing everything, so will see if it saves money!!

 

[Bostik]

Great losses everyone!

Shazzabir - You're sooooo close! We went for steak on my birthday with the family Then been Nandos and Pizza Express! Yumm. Going TGI Fridays this week too. Love that place but soooo many calories haha

 

[Donzy84]

Evening,

A lb for me this week, but more than happy as had fish and chips twice!!!!!!

Ouu looking forward to some low cal desserts. Cadbury light Mousses are beautiful at only 60cal xxx

 

[Shazzabir]

Sounds great Bostik!! Hope you had a good birthday

 

[Bostik]

Anyone done couch 2 5k? I have just downloaded the app and put music on my phone so I have no excuse next time I go gym! Bit nervous!

 

[Shazzabir]

That's great Bostik!! I did c25k. When I first started it running 60 secs was a huge challenge. It makes you progress at a manageable level though, so you will b fine!

 

[Bostik]

Lol I am more nervous about running in public! I haven't run for years and the first time will be at a gym! Hopefully go when it is quiet lol!

 

[jomonks]

I'm a stay the same this week :-( didn't do well

 

[Bostik]

Seems this week isn't that great for many people! Hopefully this coming week will be better! Anyone setting themselves a challenge??

I'm challenging myself to be within my calories every day this week! Nice easy one to get me back on track!

Good evening slimmers! Well I started the week full of enthusiasm and visions of my slender self next summer in a bikini looking hot and not too wobbly!! But I somehow lost my way during the week : ( I'm not going to make excuses but will happily fill u all in on the reasons. I vowed to drink more water, mm I failed miserably but am planning to keep a tally chart next week and try harder with that. I only managed my fitness DVD twice but to be honest I was in agony for 2 days after doing it and couldn't move. But will go for 3 times next week now I'm getting used to it. Also I am on a new medication to prevent migraines and they are known for increasing appetite and my god!! ..... They do!! I am struggling to curb that insatiable hunger but aiming to snack on low cal items. So I stayed the same this week. Still 196 lb but I am going all out for a 3pm loss this week. Good luck everyone'

Good luck! Yeah definitely a good idea to have low cal snacks around for a time like that! Think im gonna focus on drinking more water too next week. Really need to!

 

[parfittaroles]

I lost a pound, but Id been extra good so expected a bit better to be honest never mind.
My challenge was to drink 8 glasses of water every day, and I'm pleased to say I stuck to it

 

[Caz]

Morning guys, I'm soooo sorry about last night! This week on school placement has knackered me out and I TOTALLY forgot about doing the thread! I'm sowwy I've gone through and updated everyone's losses on my trusty spreadsheet, I'll message the others for their losses too.
