Embo's Journey. Lost 1 lb this week. 63 lbs total :)

[sarah88]

Well done on ur loss! Ur food looks fab, the thing with simply filling is ppl think they wont loose as theres no weighing but I have found sf really good in the past, I lost 25 in 4 months doing sf 5 days pp 2 days and I had big portions if im honest! U may loose a bit more if u did a full sf week instead of the simple start as u have to point things like butter, sauce ect so I think theres less free foods :-D

Thanks guys. This week Simple Start goes into the F&H route. You still choose from the list but you don't have two treats a day. You get your 49 weeklies to do what you like. It's much less restrictive but encourages you to have much healthier foods. Such as, I always use egg noodles in my stir fry but the new approach has taught me to choose the brown option. I bought some whole wheat noodles and you honestly can't tell the difference between the two. You can definitely tell the difference with wholewheat cous cous but if you mix herbs/lemon juice/spices in it makes it taste nicer

Food today.
B - 2 bacon medallions, 2 eggs scrambled without fat, mushrooms and tomatoes.
L - spicy tomato and butternut soup. Chicken salad thin.
D - Turkey with cous cous.
S - nakd bar. Crumpets with compote. Banana. Apple and hot chocolate.

Exercise - walking (I aim to earn 4 AP)

Drinks - 2 coffees. 3 Green teas. 3 litres of water including sparkling with lemon.

Your food sounds good today Embo. Just about to plan mine now, after a bit of a naughty night last night....

 

[Embo78]

I had a naughty(ish) night too hun! I had a few jd and cokes and really fancied something naughty so I compromised with myself and made a healthy pizza.

1 wholemeal thin with tomato puree, mushroom, spring onion, wafer thin chicken, pinch of herbs and feta cheese. In oven for 5 mins. Lovely pizza!! Did the trick and satisfied my craving for take away!

That "pizza" sounds good - nice and quick to throw together as well - much quicker than going out for the fancied take away!

S - cookie, crumpets and compote, banana, apple, hot choc

 

[charjoelily]

Thanx lovely,

This is probably a daft question but what are your berry toasts? It it just berries on toast or do you do anything with them?

[charjoelily]

And how do you make the compote lol! Xxx

 

[Embo78]

Not a daft question at all. I should post recipes more ....

2 weight watchers thick sliced brown bread
spread with 2 tbsp's of quark
Add blueberries
sprinkle with cinnamon and sweetener. I use sugar cos I hate sweetener but only a tiny amount
Grill.

They're yummy

cherry and and orange compote
250g cherries de stoned and quartered
half an orange zest and juice

simmer for 25 minutes until it resembles jam. This is yummy and keeps for ages in a tub with a lid in the fridge (I doubled up on quantities too)

 

[charjoelily]

Omg, so wish my lunch wasn't already cooking. Both sound fabulous. Will try ASAP
