[Autumn500]

Hey Joanne, well done on your loss, and sorry you had a rough few days food wise-life happens though, and you sound motivated now what is t25 if you don't mind me asking?

 

[*joanne*]

It's a 25 min workout dvd it's hard but really good I burn around 300 cals a workout I really need to tone up more.

added new people to the list welcome and good look
well done to all you loser keep up the good work

Not had a great week food wise at all been picking at things so gone over my cals most days. Then had takeaway on Friday and lots of chocolate. On Saturday had 3 bags of crisps and a bag of mini eggs. My dinner was also loads of cals dread to think. Still lost 1.8lbs this week not sure how maybe it will catch me up next week. On Monday I am back on plan along with C25K, T25 and 30DS need to really stop eating so much when it comes to the weekend.

Don't worry about that - we've all been there - if only we knew why eh? A good loss then - well done!

If u get back on plan - ur sure to have a loss next week too - good luck!

 

[upndown]

I will try and buy the mag next time I see one in the shop, I think they can keep your motivation up sometimes too which is always good!

I wonder if there's any science in the hot drink filling you thing- do you not drink cold drinks with your food? I know sometimes a cup of tea in the morning would fill me a bit whereas a glass of water wouldn't.

I'm quite lucky in that I didn't grow up on big portions so I'm quite happy to eat off a side plate to give the illusion of more food, but I know my oh had massive portions and it was a. It adjustment for him to change.

I hope you do lose the rest of your weight and as you keep losing it gives you the confidence to realise that you *can* do it and that even though maintenance will Be tricky, it will be such an achievement in itself to get to the stage where you are trying to maintain (if that makes any sense lol). I think enjoying the plan you are doing and experimenting with new foods is a great way to keep things interesting and make the whole thing feel less like a chore, at least I hope that is how il be on sw lol. It's crazy when you look up the portion sizes that we are meant to have and compare them with what we do have though isn't it? I've grown up thinking your carbs should be the biggest part of the plate and it's just not true lol.

I have planned my first sw day for tomorrow,(was meant to be today but oh is starting slimfast tomorrow so we may have bought some crisps and chocolate, oops!) I'm trying a green day and it looks like so much food! Off out for lunch on Tuesday with oh also and il probs just write that meal off and enjoy it, but will try to stick to plan the rest of the day!

Yes I do drink cold drinks with food - but since I've noticed I feel full after a hot drink always have one after my tea and whenever I can or feel like with other meals - not sure about the science - but it seems to work for me!!

I was brought up with small meals too and all the family were slim but when I got married I just started having the same amount to eat as hubby - so no prizes for guessing what happened! I hope too that I can get to target and maintain but know it won't be easy!!

Good luck with ur Green day/s there's lots of nice stuff on green and I like having the 4 HExs - let us know how ur getting on - as u say u can and shd enjoy ur meal out - life's 4 living!.

Hope u can get back on - good luck with the pilates too - do u find that exercise and eating go hand in hand? When I'm off the plan the exercise goes down the pan LOL! Have a good week - there's been lots of nice food posted - given me some ideas - have u planned ur food yet?

 

[Autumn500]

Cat what Pilates are you doing? I did some from the blogilates YouTube channel yesterday and today and am in pain lol, will def be walking funny tomorrow! Feels good though

 

[Autumn500]

Yes I do drink cold drinks with food - but since I've noticed I feel full after a hot drink always have one after my tea and whenever I can or feel like with other meals - not sure about the science - but it seems to work for me!! I was brought up with small meals too and all the family were slim but when I got married I just started having the same amount to eat as hubby - so no prizes for guessing what happened! I hope too that I can get to target and maintain but know it won't be easy!! Good luck with ur Green day/s there's lots of nice stuff on green and I like having the 4 HExs - let us know how ur getting on - as u say u can and shd enjoy ur meal out - life's 4 living!.

I sit beside a lot of guys at work and it depresses me how much food they can put away and not put on any weight, it's infuriating!

I think this week will def be a challenge for me since it's my first week, and then next week I have to go out for my other halts dad's birthday, then Mother's Day too- I work well with routine but when anything different happens it really throws my eating off :-(

 

[CatA]

Yup, if I don't exercise I overeat lol

I bought the Winsor Pilates DVD and Hoop from a tv shopping advert years ago and do that one.

I plan my days food each morning, usually have same thing until dinner then vary evening meal. As doing SlimFast and calorie counting I just have a load of frozen ASDA meals ready to pick at random that are all 300-500cals each

I've got cake in a couple of weeks as making my little girl a minion cake for her 4th birthday. My Dad's birthday the day before as well so joint birthday celebration at weekend. I actually went into labour on his birthday, but she had a big head so took 37 hours from start to finish lol

Good luck with ur week - u sound well prepared and enjoy the birthday celebrations when they come! Is that ur daughter on ur photo or u - either way - it's a cute pic!

 

[CatA]

Yup, old pic actually...this is a better one of her as bridesmaid for my brother end of last year

and the other week copying mummy lol

 

[2mnn]

Well I'm not really sure about today!?!?
A day at the seaside so of course fish and chips were a must (although I did go for the small portion so hopefully not too bad - about 6-700 cals I'm guessing?). I did resist the donuts tho when everyone else was eating them so I didn't do too badly I guess lol.
Just completed day 2 of t25 too so I'm hoping that worked off the damage done by the chips.

Well done Joanne on your loss, especially as you say you've treated yourself this week.

Keep at it everyone. We can do this x

 

[2mnn]

Ahh, so cute, Cat!!
Bless her. I bet she's so excited for her bday x

 

[upndown]

Yup, old pic actually...this is a better one of her as bridesmaid for my brother end of last year

and the other week copying mummy lol

Aaaaaah she's gorgeous - u must be v proud of her!

 

[CatA]

Oh yes, she's my little princess. Ahead in her class at school (preschool class) even though she is one of the youngest, always comes home with lots of little notes from teacher praising her *proud mummy alert* lol

She's very excited, keeps reminding me I need to put lots of candles on her cake to blow out and wants lots of balloons again. We filled living room every year so far with them lol

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Good morning all,
A very happy Littlemiss this morning -2lbs for me.
Good luck everyone on the scales this week.x
