Mizzy - I don't have too much but I have to be so careful with certain fresh fruits. I love fresh pineapple but the instant it touches my lips my mouth swells [msnsad]
Have similar problems with oranges...
Julie
well done Fiona!!!
well i PUT ON 3 1/2lbs!! wonder why??[msnwink]
but that will be the last weight on week for many many weeks!!
think i have found the right motivation!! ME!!!
blood pressure still high! did dads tiling last night, i so love DIY, i find it relaxing in a funny sort of way! i didnt over do it, i did more at Russells flat but Steve has decided he likes to play now as well, so dont do as much, more slapping grout on and passing the tile really!!
will do my shopping tomorrow night, will do a list so idea please?
will buy lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, love them!!
this is going to be my new start now!!! ready for the summer, only around the corner!!
thanks everyone for your words of encouragement!! and good wishes!! will need you all more now then ever before, so thanks in advance!![grouphug]
Liesa
Liesa, sorry you put on but just start again and it will soon come off.
Well done Fiona[clap]
Hope you have anice evening Theresa.
Well I am happy today <span style="color:red">2lb off</span id="red">, thats just the boost I need, it has really put me in the right frame of mind and I am going for it.
Back to normal here, Jessica is now better and back at school, hopefully no one else will come down with that nasty bug.
Mizzy I have that leaflet, can't quite get round the pasta, but am going to try it as I know you said it was tasty.
Liesa you can eat chocolate, but allow for it. Trouble with me is stopping at just 1 small bar, ditto biscuits etc so I fnd it better not to have anything like that in the house because otherwise I WILL eat it!
For breakfast you need things like porridge or other cereal (branflakes), wholemeal toast with jam / marmite, or eggs (poached, scrambled, boiled) on toast with baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms cooked in water - add some black pepper and parsley and they taste much better than that sounds!
Lunch then can be jacket pot with beans and grated cheese, spruced up with some chopped onion, or with tuna & extra low-fat mayo, or cottage cheese & salad. If you love lashing of butter on it, try and cut down to a soupcon and then eventually to nothing. Or a sandwich with brown bread with meat & salad, or cheese & salad or egg (depends what you have had for brekkies really).
Allow for snacks for when you get the munchies or it will all end in distaster - chopped carrots, celery, even pepper sticks if you like them, make yourself a dip with quark slightly flavoured with lemon or chilli powder if you like it spicy. This is when you can have a mini packet of choc buttons or something like that.
Plenty of fresh fruit - at least 5 portions of fruit and veg to be eaten a day.
Drink lots of water - at least 5 glasses a day on top of tea and coffee which acts as a diuretic, many people are dehydrated giving them joint aches etc. Pee should pale yellow in colour (sorry about this folks), if it is not, you are not drinking enough water.
Supper - rice / pasta / potatoes with meat / fish / fowl and large portion of veg or salad to accompany it. Or veggie rice / pasta if you prefer.
Pud - low fat jelly and low fat cream with some fruit is good - can make a quick pud with a small meringue, squirty low fat cream and some frozen raspberries / blueberries (whatever you like fruit wise) - obivously allowing any frozen fruit to defrost, and makes tasty pud with low calories.
Here endeth the lesson!
Fiona
<span style="color:red">Sally and Fiona...Well done ladies</span id="red">[clap][clap][clap]
Liesa...Never mind, today is a new start[msnwink][msnwink]
Fiona...love the lesson[msnwink][msnwink]
........Pee light yellow eh???? With all the water we drink it should be clear as a bell (LOL)
I was having a good day until I've had to choose the food for our wedding reception meal. Now I'm feeling hungry after reading all the delicious recipes!!![msncry][msncry] Will have some more water instead to fill me up. I am so determined now not to put any weight back on[msnsmile2]
Have a good one everyone
Sharon
Well Done Sally thats a great acheivement[clap][clap][clap]
Julieanne, Fiona has suggested some great teas i would suggest you have a green day as you have had two healthy extras with oats and chicken now you can have unlimited pasta potatoes rice etc
so how about chips for tea,!!!beans and a fried egg or with quorn sausages(all free food on green)[msntongue] Julie posted how to make sw chips a few weeks ago but i can dm you the recipe if you want
Sharon with the attitude you have at the moment i can't see you putting the weight back on, you seem to have accepted that you have to change your lifestyle in order to lose weight and keep it off and this is the main route to longterm success, as you know there is no such thing as a quick fix and to manage your weight you have to change your attitudes to food not for a few weeks but for life and you've definately done that
[msnsmile2]
i'm sure you will have a lovely wedding and enjoy your meal whatever you chose[clap]
Liesa you pile that trolley high girl [msnwink] remember mothers day is around the corner as well as easter and you need to get a head start just in case those naughty chocolate monsters strike again[msnembarrased][msnwink]
Mizzy
Fiona i thank you!!
Sally very well done!
have had oatso simple for breakfast, love it!
having a cup of hot water with lemon, have stopped buying choc for the box in fridge for all the others, the grandchildren love dried fruit similar to the garden gangs i think,, so will replace their chocs with them!
will go for a poached egg on toast for lunch today, and is pasta with napoletana sauce ok for dinner this evening? its an asda one, its Laurens favourite so have to share with her, going for an easy dinner tonight as friends round later and want to relax instead of DIY and hours at the cooker!,
am determined very determined now!! not going to follow any particular slimming club just cut down and asking advise, hope this is ok?
RE mothers day, boring ol me has asked if the children would like to get me something , would they like to club together for dolls house vouchers, we have a wonderful shop a 30 min drive with such lovely items for the houses in there, and it is my house![msnwink] couldnt get anymore personal for me then that!! choc is forbidden now!!! until i get on the right track!!
