Ooooh didn't realise you were only a lb away from target. That's awesome!

Simply filling definitely sounds like it would fit your plan at the moment, and would maybe be a bit more familar as its still WW. The climbing wall sounds really exciting. Its not something I have ever done but with the walks we do there are often sections that involve a good bit of "rock scrambling" which i really really enjoy. Its made me wonder about investigating some proper climbing. Good plan with rewarding yourself when you've finsished your course and got a job with upgrading to the s****y gym (just have to use that word whenever i can now...). I think having a gym you enjoy being in is really important with long term motivation. I know I definitely wouldn't manage to go as often if I didn't like mine as much. Seems like money well spent. As long as you have it to spend in the first place of course!
 
Yes I think I'll use s****y in every post!!

I change my mind about goal so often...I especially like to break it down. Ideally I'd like to get to and maintain in the low 9s but I like my food & drink too much & eat waaaay to much at weekends to probably make it feasible!

Simply filling may not work so well actually as hub is a fussy bugger & won't eat brown rice/wholewheat pasta and I'm not making two lots of pasta/rice...but then I could always 'tweak' it?!
 
There's been two people I have known on simply filling over the last year or so who successfully "tweaked" to using normal rice and pasta and both got to target so might be worth a go.

Sensible to take a flexible approach to where long term target is going to be. You definitely need to be able to enjoy yourself as well as enjoy looking at the numbers on the scales.

That's good to hear :)

I'm all about flexibility!!
 
Simply filling is great, I tweeked it alot as I was told to come off wheat for 6month while doing it and I got to target and maintained for a long time. I swapped my pasta for spelt pasta and my bread for the wheat free stuff. I did limit them things though. Worth a try x
 
That's the thing I think I'd still eat in moderation because I could have a double portion quite happily!! I'll have a look again next week when I'm back from prague & ready for a new plan. Good to hear your tweaking didn't hurt :)

So today I've finally got the cold, so after a week of dizzy I now have sore throat, earache & snot....sorry I'm feeling incredibly sorry for myself, mainly because I need to be better by Thursday evening!!!

I'm back to last weeks plan:
B- weetabix & skim milk (2 carb, 1/2 dairy)
S - yoghurt & strawbs (100 cal snack)
L - roast beef salad, 2 oatcakes, choc oat bar (protein, carb, fruit, 100 cal snack)
S - apple (fruit)
D - chicken & veg pasta in tomatoey sauce, spoonful lf philly (protein, 2 veg, 2 carb, 1/2 dairy)
S - yoghurt, banana, 1/2 teacake (dairy, fruit, carb)

=> 6 carb, 2 protein, 2 dairy, 5 fruit&veg, 2 x 100 cal snacks
=> 1334 calories
=> 28pp

Quite interesting to see how it all adds up!! Not the greatest day food wise, but ok. Tomorrow will be difficult, I'm working 6:30-14:30 then back in 17:30-21:30. I'll probably have a yoghurt first thing, brekkie in my break, fruit in my 'lunch break', a proper meal at home & a snack when I get in...really not looking forward to tomorrow!
 
Healthy eating for life?? Here's hoping!!

Split shift?! Yucky!! What do ya work as xx
 
I work behind food counters in a supermarket. I generally hate it, but am studying part time so it's a means to an end. It's the company I dislike more than the job itself, I think I'd be quite happy in an independent deli/butchers but these guys are reasonably flexible around me, so it fits. The shift is unusual - I'm doing a favour for a friend. I've kind of got used to straight 9hr shifts with breaks, my last job (care) was often 14/15hr shifts and no real breaks....I'm spoilt now!!
 
That does sound like a horrible horrible shift. Can you say which supermarket you work for?

Sorry to hear that the cold has landed. Hope it shifts sharpish before you go away. A weekend in Prague sounds fab. Have you been before? Its somewhere i have always fancied going but never got around to. I don't even have a passport as we always go away in this country so that might be a slight barrier if i want to go!
 
I can say but I'd rather not just in case they by some miracle catch me slating them!!

No haven't been to prague before, really excited! A lot of time will be spent with the wedding party, but we should have Monday to ourselves, we don't fly till the evening.

I'm actually glad the cold is out with my track record it means it'll be over in a few days & I'm feeling better already :)
 
So today's been 'off plan'

B: yoghurt & fruit, weetabix & milk
S: nume crisps, fruit
L: bacon medallions, veg, pasta, curly wurly
D: beans on warb thin, chocolate

So that's 2 dairy, high on protein @ 3, low on carbs @ 5 & fruit & veg @ 4, high on snacks at 3!!

Calories wise it's still under 1500, so not too awful! Got to try the dress on again tomorrow as may need operation detox to get me back to how I was last Friday!!

I'm off to bed now, tired...zzzzzz
