Iris! How did the weigh in go? I understand your reasons for not wanting a thread but still let us know about your weigh ins & stuff! Lovely to have you around again

Hi Jan, well, actually I was expecting worse, but I came in at 12st exactly, but I wore my jeans deliberately So, that I would show a greater loss..hahaha...mad or what! I weighed myself on my scales last night, with jeans on and exactly the same as the pharmacy, so that is good to know....then took the jeans off, and was 11 13! Yippee ...so, overall in the 9 wks I have gained 1 st 9lb!! YIKES..must confess, thought it would be more.

I dont have an "ideal weight" in mind; playing things differently this time around. People kept telling me I looked ill at 10 4 and eyes all sunk, etc....so I have to just be sensible...my main aim on LT is to stop the bingeing! No good, I know..and not the way to go,but it is my only way of coping, so until I see the counsellor and they help me, so be it!

I am actually enjoying the shakes again adn the feeling of being empty and not bloated and full!

So, will let you know next Thur how I get on

Again, you are all doing so well !!!

I know Tanya, it is a lovely feeling, AND, better still when you waken and dont feel dread cause of the feelings of bloatedness from the night before ;-)

Wonderful!!!

:8855::8855::8855:I had just taken a big mouthful of sparkling water when your post popped up on screen - YOU MADE ME SPIT IT OUT!!!! Lol! DEAD posh


Hi Iris ... Well I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you expected AND that you're enjoying the shakes and the discipline AND that you're going to keep letting us know how you get on. Not too long now till you see the counsellor. I'm sure it'll be really useful xxx

Friday 16th April

NOTHING at Mum's again **pats self on back** and just my breakie - nothing extra at home

Breakie - 2 weetabix (hungry again), raspberries etc.

Bed

The VERY end of batter off DH's chippie fish

Tea - Pouch of 'Free From' chicken hot pot on a bed of baby spinach. Pear.

At Mum's tonight a small bunch of grapes - maybe 12?

Brought to work a wholegrain roll with vlf salad cream salad and remembering I need to have protein I went for a slice of ham but it was 'off' and the only other thing we had in was corned beef - not the best meat to have I know but it was either that or cheese. Just thought I could have put phili light on couldn't I? Ah well done now. Also brought about 8 almonds.

I'm going to be a bit 'off plan' tomorrow night, we're having visitors and I'm doing 2 morroccan dishes, 2 types of cous cous and pita bread - no good saying I won't have any coz i will though I'll try to just have a little of each and I've purposely bought mini pitas because I'll want some but wouldn't want to eat a whole big one. I've also prepared, ready to bake a load of rhubarb out of the garden with ginger & vanilla and I HAVE put sugar on it. I'll only have a taste of that though & I've got ff from frais I'll have on it while I have creme fraiche, cream and ice cream to offer the others. And there'll be wine.

 

[summergurl]

Ooooh wine :drool. Pitta :drool: cous cous :drool: lol!!!!!!

Enjoy your night tomorrow Jan

I saw an awesome thine being made the other day but in a saucepan and so I'm guna make one when I'm 'allowed' accompanied with cous cous. I love the stuff but rarely eat it!

 

[JanD]

Damn!! Sorry that didn't help Tan

What was it you saw being made? x

 

[summergurl]

Haha that was meant to read tagine Not thine lol it was lamb with spices and chickpeas!

 

[JanD]

Oh! I thought it was supposed to say thing! I'm with you now xx

 

[kered]

HOWEVER! I DIDN'T have anything at Mum's AND I DIDN'T have anything else before I went to bed

Well done Jan, Fred is doing a marvellous job.

Tin of bacon and cheese pasta, now, ive never seen them! Im intrigued!

Me too.

It's just rigatoni (sp?) in a cheesey sauce with bits of bacon. I like it cold too (like baked beans or tinned spaghetti

Bleurghhhhh

Perhaps I should add - I DO use a spoon xx

Glad to hear it Mrs D

Great news that it's less than you thought Iris. I also agree that we should stop when we feel happy with our bodies, sod this BMI - we are all built differently.

[kered]

Meant to add in that its a shame I am working, would love to come, the menu sounds delish.

 

[JanD]

And you'd be more than welcome Mary ... might be a bit cold by the time you drive all this way though.

I'm mega organised (till I remember what I've forgotten ) so am chillin' with a glass of wine waiting for my guests. I've EVEN got dishes and plates warming in the oven (unheard of )

Will 'talk' tomorrow - have a good evening guys xxx

 

[summergurl]

Ah get you, even warming your plates!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your evening Jan xxx

 

[Scotsmist]

sounds delish Jan; hope you had a good night!!!!!!!

 

[kered]

Jans going all posh on us now - warming her plates ....... lol

 

[JanD]

Not only did we have those visitors last night (and yes had a really good time thanks - so much better with warm plates ) but today I have been 'helping' DH with one of his secret shopper assignments ..... local bars ..... .. well very sorry but when the drinks are free be really rude not to

Ha Ha .... only a couple of V&Cs .... hoping for at least a sts tomorrow. A loss would be FAB!

So - Sunday 18th April

Breakie - raspberries, blueberries & ff from frais

Lunch - Half a pot of sains carrot and sweetcorn soup & mini wholemeal pitta bread

Half an Alpen light bar

Tea - Roast chcken & salad with vlf salad cream

V&Cs xx

 

[kered]

How did last night go Jan?

Good luck for tomorrow, and I agree with you, of course it would be rude not to have a drink with DH on the secret shopper trip ;-)

 

[JanD]

Really good thanks Mary ... should do these things more often and now that I know how easy it is to warm plates ..... weeeeel ... there'll be no stopping me xx
