Snow's Health Living Rambles v2

[Bigbear]

Fantastic loss Snowy!b well done xxxx and as you said, it shows that’s the right calorie level for you - which is great if you feel satisfied with the amount of food but you’ least got ideas for where you will cut down as time progresses.

You’ve got this xxxxx

Yes, slim fast suits me - or kind of doing my own version of it. My daily cal count tends to come in around 1600.

Baby bear is doing really well thanks. She’s just turned two (!!) so she now has an opinion on EVERYTHING. I lost nine stone just before I had her, then during pregnancy and the six months afterwards out about five stone back on again - so here I am back on the wagon again... glad we are all in it together though

WOW! That is a fabulous loss Snowy!!!!

My gosh that's almost a stone, you must be chuffed to bits!

Well done love xx

Just been looking at the Huel flavours - it's your fault, you mentioned pineapple and coconut LOL. Less than 10 cals per serve, so that's only half a syn - might get a couple of flavours to boost smoothies.

I am - I am so chuffed - especially as when I weighed myself at the start i was 1 stone 1 lb lighter than at Xmas and part of what has put me off dieting (or what i have used to talk myself out of it is knowing i put all the loss on and then some) and with that loss I now I am at the exact weight I was when I joined slimming world back in 2014!) so I just have to do that again and then a bit more - it's a slightly smaller mountain.

That's a good idea - glad to help the ones i've tried have been nice. tomorrow i am thinking about doing a peanut butter and banana one with pb2 powder and banana.

Yes - it's a lot but it's better to start high i guess and have somewhere to go as i hopefully come down in weight. It also occurs to me that I could also switch to lower calorie meal replacements when it comes time to it (Huel is fairly high protein so filling but it's an option)

If your own version works then why not - I actually really like slim fast shakes (or did last time I tried them) but I didn't like the bars or the soups - this was a long time ago though.

Ah that is a fun age and it must be harder to plan etc with a little one about so well done you. All in this together is a good thing!

Dark chocolate is meant to have all sorts of health benefits but it is the only form of chocolate I don't like sadly!

LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking

LOL! That's exactly what I was thinking

It just tastes bitter to me. I actually have dark chocolate in my drawer at work from Christmas which is almost unheard of for me. Should take them home for my OH. When I am on a diet he's only allowed dark chocolate so I'm not tempted.

Ugh Work has been insane for the last two weeks - I've not been off plan and gone mad but I haven't been tracking that well. Getting back on tracking things as of today.
