Quitting meetings so need support :(

[suzler1985]

Hi,

I'm quitting the meetings, money is tight and I really need to lose the stone I have put on since xmas!


I started at 15st 8lbs in Jan 2010
I was 9st 10lbs at Dec 2012

Now I'm 10st 13lb and none of my clothes are comfortable and I dont have money to buy new ones.
So from now I will be answering to you lot every Sunday night!!
I'm married (husband obese) with 2 boys aged 3 and 7 and they are a BIG handful and I'm studying a part time degree whilst I job hunt for a part time job.

I eat because I'm stressed :sigh: or in the last couple of days I have been sooooo hungry coz its the time of the month!!! I shop on a very tight budget and nothing really adventurous.

Right so from tomorrow I will posting my food diaries on here and then weigh in next sunday night!

I'm on 26 pro points and my rough plan for tomo is as follows;........

cereal (shreddie and skimmed milk) 5 pp yogurt 2 pp
soup with roll 4 pp
beef stew with dumplings 8 pp
crumpet 3pp butter 1pp


and I will add stuff on etc.

Firstly- a big well done from getting down from 15st 8lbs! You might have put a bit of weight on, but not a lot, so you'll easily get that off again.

I look forward to following your journey

Welcome and Good Luck There's a couple of Threads on here which you might find useful, the 'At Home Thread' for those of us who don't attend meetings and your WI Day Thread, I'm not sure that there is a Sunday one as I WI on a Friday but you could have a look? PS-Hope u enjoy your Stew n Dumplings, one of my personal favourites! X

YAY thanks for the messages of support...I have been waiting patiently to log on all day!

Food for today....
3 x Weetabix with skimmed milk (starving in the mornings when I wake) 6pp

Fat free yogurt 2pp
crumpet with low fat spread 4pp (hungry when I got in from school run as I cycle there and back)

Homemade tomato soup 1pp
2 slices of brown bread 4
low fat spread 2tsp 2pp (again so hungry)

cereal bar 4pp
Banana 0pp
crumpet with low fat spread 4pp ( crumpets are the warburtons ones so they are 3pp )

Beef stew with dumplings 8pp
-lean beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, balsamic vinegar, flour and herbs with packet dumpling mix)

2 x biscuits 4 pp

Daily allowence used - 26pp
Cycling 60 minutes used - 6pp
weeklies used - 7

Total used 39pp

So there it is, I'm starving right now but I never eat right before bed. I do feel looking at this that I need some more fruit in there its just so hard reaching for an apple when you are starving and the kids are creating chaos and your stress about everything but most importantly I STUCK TO IT TODAY!!!!

Tomorrows goals will be to replace a snack with fruit and drink a bit more water, what with all the cycling.

Thanks again for the support , I will check out those threads later in bed, bit of light reading!

Hey Sweetie What a fantastic days food and fantastic willpower for sticking with it! Zero Heroes are great to snack on, they keep you going between meals and believe me the hunger does subside once you get into the swing of things. And if all else fails the Weeklies are there to help Which Packet Dumpling Mix do you use? I'm obsessed with Aunt Bessie's at the moment! X

Ah that would be Goldenfry! They aren't suitable for veggies which is why I have to use A/B.x

I'm here and reading! Baking is a tricky one and one which I struggle with as I love to bake for Poppy etc. Last week I made Banana Muffins, those worked out at 5pp or I've made Double Choc Muffins and Choc Orange Muffins, both of those work out at 6pp each. I have made Fat Free Fairy Cakes tho, those worked out at 3pp Each and were either Strawberry Jam or Lemon Curd Filled. I tend not to make anything which I have to slice/portion as I know I'd be likely to have 'just a little bit more' but that's just me! X

Ooooo I like the sound of them, I'm supposed to making something in a minute for the kids lunch boxes and I think I may want to scoff the lot. I'm taking a study break and there is no fruit in the house and I'm hungry! Ahhhh
