Hi guys in joining with 84lbs to loose! I will do this!!! Good luck all! X

 

[Roziee]

Claire I dread to think how much weight I've out on in these last 2 weeks (I'm on annual leave) and I KNOW I've put on weight because my top was tight this morning when I put it in... like you, I'm planning on making my food diary for the week and Monday I'm on it like peanut butter on toast! Haha

Poor claire *hugs* I'm sure you'll be fine hun, just get back on it and plan as best as you can. I hate being sick - some people can't stomach food when they're ill, but i'm the other way around - I have to eat everything in sight! Good luck, I hope you feel better soon. xxx

Thought I'd just pop in quickly and post my planned food for today, as I'm not sure when I'll be back online. Hopefully later tonight, but that depends on my daughter (currently cooking in her playhouse!) taking her to tescos soon for some squash and fruit. She's begging me for biccies so I suppose I could get her some rusks - helps that i cant stand the things!

Food Diary:
Extra Easy
(Italics = Planned food)


[*]B/F:Bacon, Mushrooms, Scrambled Egg with Spinach, Baked Beans, Tomato Ketchup (2)
[*]Lunch: Leftover Three Bean Chilli (Butter Beans, Red Kidney Beans, Black Eyed Beans, Onion, Tinned Tomatoes, Peppers, Cayenne Pepper, Paprika) with Rice
[*]Dinner: Turkey Burgers (Lean Turkey Mince, Onion, Courgette, Spices) with Slimming World Chips and Red Pepper Salsa (Red Peppers, Cherry Tomatoes, Lime Juice (0.5) )
[*]Snacks:Banana,Clementine, Apple, 2 x Alpen Light Bar (HEX B) Milk throughout the day (HEX A)
[*]Treat: We'll see!


Total Syns: 2.5 (allowing me for loads of syns for some vodka tonight )

Hello darling- how are you feeling today?

I'm going to make your soup tomorrow.. How do you make your chilli? Is it a one pot wonder again? :giggle:

Ooo rialrees your brekkie sounds lovely and feel better soon Claire!!

I'm not going for a run.. my bodys so tired. 16 nights working back to back, 2 nights to go until my night off. Woop. The amount of walking I've done tho I'm hoping it'll show. I might go for a walk tomorrow daytime with my son / Monday morning.

Had an apple for brekkie and just had tagiatelle pasta with courgette, mushrooms and chopped tomatoes. 4 superfree down, yay. Going to have salad for tea from subway, just too tired to cook. Off for a snooze now while my sons at his daddys, so if I get to sleep now I should get an hour to keep me going atkeast I'm not working afternoons today too!

I'll pop in while at work later

BTW rialrees your blog kept me entertained at work last night! I loved it, you're an excellent writer

Well done on the SF Hun! X

Aww thanks FBG! It's a lot of fun to write, keeps me occupied I'm sure all the walking / running about you've done at work will count for some body magic!

On the subject of the great Icecream meltathon last night, I posted the link to reddit, as I tend to do for most of my blog posts. One member started up a conversation with me which just goes to show how many people just dont get it.

A stressful day, A tub of Ben & Jerry's, and a Slimming World Diet. What could possibly go wrong? : food

Sigh.

EDIT: Going to have to make some small adjustments to my plans for tonight - we have friends coming over. Still planning on making burgers but they're bringing cupcakes :/ Will have to estimate syns and go from there, but all should be fine. I barely had any syns yesterday so it works well if I carry them over from there

I understand why they would have said that if you weren't trying to lose weight, but that's just such a silly thing to say when you know that someone is battling with weight loss.. Ignore them hun!

Yummmmm.. cupcakes!!! I want details hehe.. enjoy it and use it as your syns and you'll be fine

I'm feeling pretty proud tonight! Had another green day, start work in an hour so had my veggie tagiatelle and just had a massive salad sooo superfree as follows;
Apple
Tomatoes
Courgette
Mushrooms
Lettuce
Beetroot
Gherkins
Cucumber
Peppers
Strawberries
Blackberries
Red currants
Cherries

.... Eeek. So proud of myself

Syns stand at 9.5 for 2 x meringue and to cover dressing. Still have my heb so after work i ll have a slice of bread with marmite (no spread) and a freddo. Wooohooo.

Feel really pleased I've stuck to it today. Hope this continues over next couple of days and then hopefully weigh in will be fabulous come Tuesday

I know you will have a good loss xx

Hi guys in joining with 84lbs to loose! I will do this!!! Good luck all! X

Welcome!! you will do it!! X

 

[Roziee]

I feel as big as a house now. Need to get back on the wagon now.

Don't care what weight I'm going to be on Monday- but what I will care about is losing it.

My mini goal is my 4th year anniversary and I want to be 3 stones lighter by then.

10.10.2012

22 weeks
42 lbs in total

I want to be 17.5 stones by then.

I need to be.

To much eating rubbish now.

No excuses.

I have my treadmill being delivered.

EVERY MEAL WILL HAVE 1/3+ SF.

No excuses now.

I need you guys proper now..

 

[xMandyDx]

Rozie, we're here! Get up in the morning and start the day off nice and healthy and take it from there x

 

[Roziee]

Thanks Mandy. Getting sick of myself saying the same things now...

 

[WhatLiesWithin...]

WLW- dont buy any ice cream anymore. Simple. If its home, it'll be eaten.. That's what happens with me so unless it's going to be eaten by someone else I don't buy naughty stuff anymore..

You've eaten it now do don't worry, just continue to be really good and you'll be fine x

I know, "can't eat, won't buy" is my new motto when i'm out shopping!

Had a much better end to today, just done an hour & half on the wii, made the mushy pea curry to take to work tonight and have done an online shop for only the good stuff, much less tempting when you don't see the deals on the naughty stuff lol, so i'm all set for a better week!

Unfortunately, my weigh in is on monday evening and i believe Ben & Jerry may be clinging to my hips when i hop on the scales!

Also, are we doing a water challenge? I remember seeing it mentioned a few times but i couldn't find any of the posts :S

Anyway, hope everyone is well! i'm off for a shower & then bed, absolutely shattered so I cannot wait...z z z Z Z Z Z

 

[fatbgone]

Whatlieswithin - Yep water challenge and 7 superfree a day although I'm flagging at the water! Back on the water today tho. I get weighed mondays too however mines out back to Tuesday due to bank holiday. Have to say I moan about Monday wi day but it keeps me on the straight and narrow usually at weekends! Which is a help as otherwise Id defo cheat. Do you find that? Don't worry about the ben and jerrys!

Roziee I know you can do it. When I had a wobble after my birthday in Feb it lasted 3 weeks and i remember saying to myself just do one week. One week stick to plan and if you don't loose / enjoy it then leave. And I lost 6lb that week! Everything I'd gained. So roziee, tell yourself to give it your all between now and next wi and remember that feeling on the scales. Always go in half stone targets too.. don't think I want to loose 3/4/5/6 stone think I'm aiming for my next half a stone. If I was too get to the "ideal" I'd have 7 stone 10.5 to go and if I thought that well it'd seem like a never ending marathon. Small targets ... You're going to do this. And we re all here doing it with you :hugs:

Apple alpen light and cherry mullerlight for brekkie. Off to the local pottery to do some painting! My son loves it for all of 30 minutes hehe. So I'm going to do an extra easy plate, he's painting a rocket!

Run out of veggies/fruit so having jacket with some frozen cod and frozen veg for lunch and salad again for tea before work at 7

Love.this.thread... Such a good feeling about it now

- tomatoes, mushrooms and Bacon/sausages
- sausage and fried egg sarnie with fruit for agrees
- mushroom and cheese heA omlette
- big bowl of frozen berries (defrosted over night so much cheaper and more variety ) with a bit of canderel on top and a vanilla muller with choc spribkles

Yummmm

 

[xMandyDx]

Absolutely at death's door, I swear it. Been up all night vomiting, and have diarhhea... stomach cramps are killing me. Seems we've all caught the stomach bug that the baby had a few days ago.

haven't eaten a thing today. The only food I can actually imagine eating without retching is ice-cream so that's what I'm going to settle for.

Claire thats pants that you dont have anything to warm your food with. What facilities do you have?

 

[Lucia Lucia]

Roziee, thats looks pretty good. The only thing I would say, being very honest here, when I have an omlette, I would never have two slices toast as well but instead fruit and a very low ww yog or something. At the end of the day, calories is what is making us lose/gain and I do look at that side of it too in a generalistic way. Also portion control comes into play with the diet, I really believe that. I know they say fill your boots but I only do that with superfree, I would never lose if I had for example heaps and heaps of rice etc but thats an individual thing I think. If you focus your diet on fruit and veg and take it from there you cant go wrong and also I try and look at weightloss as a monthly thing and aim for half a stone a month.My losses are never consistant, I can lose 1lb on a week I deserve 4lbs and 4lbs on a week I deserve 1lb so I take each month and try and lose that 7lbs.Also I do go off the rails myself. I had exactly what I wanted on Fri eve, steak and all the trimmings and cremem brulee BUT was ultra good for the breakfast and lunch that day and woke up the following morning straight back on plan declined her birthday cake today. I used to be in a very greedy mindset but that has gone now and I do seem to balance things alot better. I tell myself, I am alone responsible for what goes in my mouth and what it does to my body. Good luck and lots of love xxxx

Good luck!

Also, I used to use alot of syns for extra milk for tea and coffee but then found, Alpro soya light you get 500mls on a he x as it's very very low in cals. It's really lovely and worth a try? It comes in 1litre cartons and that has to last 2 days and I love it, no measuring etc and very creamy!
