2014 weight loss challenge

[KMD]

Hi lovelies! I need your advice. I'm going out for a meal tonight. Now, do I try and be good and have a healthy option, for example steak or chicken with just a salad or do I just go all our and have lasagne and chips or something like that and get straight back to it tomorrow? I did used to let myself have a night off a week but haven't been doing that lately? What does everyone think? I am away for a hen do this weekend too so this week will be a bit off plan xxx

 

[newme763]

KMD I very rarely eat out these days so when I do, I want to enjoy it and have something really nice or feels a bit wasted to me ! Enjoy your meal whatever you decide

Thank you! OMG today is a right off. It's not even 4 o'clock and I only have 500 cals left. I think it's because I know I'm going out. I'm going to have something really nice and just get straight back on it tomorrow xxx

I agree with Newme763 I think it's important to treat ourselves every now and again. And you never know maybe the chicken and salad will take your fancy when it comes to ordering.

I'm struggling today. I've been good with my eating so far but really stressful afternoon and all I want is chocolate and wine. I can't have the chocolate cause I've given it up for lent but going to have to work hard to resist a glass (or two) with dinner.

Thank you! I have tried mushy pea curry before and was pleasantly surprised!

 

[Autumn500]

Hi all, lots to catch up on as I was away for the weekend. Was off plan Friday eve and all day Saturday so not expecting a loss tomorrow when I weigh in but hey ho! Good luck to Autumn and Upndown this week, I hope you both get to the next stone, you are so close! Also good luck to CatA and Newme for getting to your holiday goals and to Bubble for beating that demon. You have all done great so far and you will get there! Hope you are feeling better Katsmad, I had the same problem over the weekend, not nice Well done to Escapade, Littlemissnaughty and KMD for your losses. A big welcome to Loulou and well done on your loss this week as well I'm also doing ww from home but this thread gives such amazing support, it makes it that much easier. Hope you enjoy being here and joining in. Good luck!

Hiya. You sound like you have a positive attitude! Things happen and some days dieting isn't a priority, as long as you had a nice time!

 

[Autumn500]

KMD I very rarely eat out these days so when I do, I want to enjoy it and have something really nice or feels a bit wasted to me ! Enjoy your meal whatever you decide

Totally agree, never again will I go to a restaurant and not order what I want, too many meals wasted by ordering sensibly and not enjoying it! As long as it's not every day and you are able to get back on track then I think it's fine

I hate days like that, I won't try and tell you to do something else to get over the stress, lime having a bubble bath or reading a boom etc because I know all the magazines etc advise that, but I'm sorry, The nicest bath or most exciting book in the world will not be as good as chocolate to me lol. Well done if you do resist, and if you don't, enjoy them! Sometimes I feel very grateful that I don't like wine, I feel like my losses would be even less than they are now lol

 

[*joanne*]

Started back doing slimming world and changed my weigh in day to Friday so in the first 5 days have lost 3lbs.Went mad over the weekend with really bad food I will never learn It was my niece's 20th Birthday today was really pleased that no cake was handed out when I went round. I have also lost my first stone not long now till I can get into the 15 stones bracket.

Well done everyone hope you all have a great week

Great to have lost a stone - we all go crazy - guess that's what unites us here! Just put it behind u and focus on the next stone - good luck!!

 

[Autumn500]

Yay Joanne, well done! Hopefully I will be joining you soon!

 

[upndown]

I hate days like that, I won't try and tell you to do something else to get over the stress, lime having a bubble bath or reading a boom etc because I know all the magazines etc advise that, but I'm sorry, The nicest bath or most exciting book in the world will not be as good as chocolate to me lol. Well done if you do resist, and if you don't, enjoy them! Sometimes I feel very grateful that I don't like wine, I feel like my losses would be even less than they are now lol

Just thought of another quick tasty meal - frittata - like an omelette - beat up a few eggs then add some dried herbs - I like oregano or basil + garlic then pour into a frylighted frypan - add cooked sliced potato (keep some back from previous meal if u can!) then add any veg u have in - I like lean bacon cut into pieces, bit of cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweetcorn etc - if it's too tricky to turn over - I put the pan under the grill to finish cooking the other side - serve with salad or baked beans (the ones with sausage Mmmm..) tinned or fresh pasta?

 

[upndown]

Autumn - just seen that SW has a book called 'Fakeaway' and there was a post saying it was easy and good copies of our fave takeaways - u used to be able to buy the books via post even for non-members - will check that out - altho' probably all the recipes will be on here!

Have u seen Kay's recipe thread for Indian curries? http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wo...na-jalfrezi-balti-madras-korma-many-more.html she has some tasty stuff in there!!

 

[KentCat]

Well I failed to resist, was doing fine till about 9pm when the other half decided he wanted wine with dinner and totally craved and joined him. We'll see the impact of WI tomorrow

Thanks for the advice ladies. Well, I had lasagne with loads of cheese, garlic bread, and chips! Oops lol. It was awesome though!!! Straight back on it today! I would have had creme brulee too! But they had run out so I took it as a sign haha xxxx
