Let's lose a bit of weight.....

[Florence Fennel]

Trying to get back on track today. Roasted veg and cous cous for lunch. I could eat that now.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Had a look at her diet Haze...........nothing very new from what I could see............not into counting calories. Have you used it before?

It's based on 1200 cals per day (2wks) then 1400 cals (2wks), Snadge. In the 'amazing inch loss diet' book, Rosemary Conley actually tells you what to eat each day, and what exercises to do (and includes a particularly sanctimonious 'motivational' pep talk for each day too).

You can swap the meals round to suit, though, and all the meals are set out in a list at the back so that you can choose from about 30 breakfasts, lunches & dinners from the list. It's worth weighing stuff at the start, but after a while you get to know the knack of it - so a biggish bowl of special K (med sized bowl of bran flakes etc) for brekkers, can of soup or low fat sarnie for lunch, grilled salmon/chicken with salad for dinner etc.

I quite like the no nonsense approach - and yes, when I want to drop a few pounds, this works for me.

[Florence Fennel]

Only just getting around to breakfast. Porridge made with water, but I'll have to put something sweet in it. Hmmm, treacle I think.

[OverWyreGrower]

Porridge made with skim milk, large dollop of home-made jam as well for brekkie, but I've got the munchies now!

[Florence Fennel]

Can you believe it? I've been so busy I've only just eaten! Trouble is now I've started, this might be the first course of my lunch!

[Jelliebabe]

True, true.............but a little of what you fancy does you good now and again!

That my problem I fancy all the food all the time and have a little of everything!

You're going to overtake me this week Snadge - I've been bad every day so far.... <<<falls off pedestal>>> *ouch*

[Two_Sheds]

I had a big portion of chips for lunch (didn't fancy my dry cereal) so will have only soup for dinner, no bread.
Mr TS is having a WW (half price) chicken casserole with carrots

[Florence Fennel]

If I have a weight watchers meal I have usually about 4 different veg with it!

[Snadger]

I'm back on Atkins...ish!

Two poached eggs and a Tuc biccie for brekkie.

Small tin of half price Tesco's(49p) tuna in lime and a lump of mature chedder for lunch.

Two mahoosive slices of grilled belly pork smeared with mustard and some semi raw carrots and half price asparagus for dinner.

Now I'm bloated for the first time since new year! Can this really be good for me I wonder?.........time will tell! (Should maybe have cut down on the carrots!)

[Florence Fennel]

It'll be interesting to see the result at your weigh in Snadger. I could eat that lot now.

Don't bank on it Jelliebabe! (Says he from base of pedestal!!!!!)

[Florence Fennel]

In fact at the moment I could eat a back door key.

Lol.......................

[Glutton4...]

Well, I managed to get back on the scales today. It's about three weeks since I was weighed, and I have lost weight!!!!!! YAY

I'm obviously not eating enough though, as it wasn't a lot - even though I feel thinner!
