Laura's Summer Slimming!

[LauraLoo]

Laura, if it's any consolation,
I lost 3 1/2 stone over 13 months.
Yes it was slow. Yes it was frustrating
But 1/2lb 1lb 2lb 's was how I lost my weight
the most I ever managed in 1 week was 3 1/2 lbs
but taking that time meant that it became part of my lifestyle, and I've been able to maintain my target for just over 2 years.
You're doing a great job, and that's a loss for the last 3 weeks! xx

Thanks. Did you go to a group? That's fab you have maintained so well too. It was because I joined in feb hoping to have lost the majority by my holiday in July as it averaged about 2lb a week which I thought was doable....would appear not! Lol.

I'm good thanks lovely. Just been pottering around the house and watching trashy TV - properly lazy but making the most of my last few days of freedom before I start new job on Monday!

Your casserole for tonight sounds lush! Hope it gives you time to go out for a run too xx

Well done little miss slim! My losses are slow but ur right it does become a life style.

Laura I'm good today thanks. What scan bran cake did you make? x

I haven't actually made it yet, was my plan to have it with a cuppa when the kids are in bed, but I'm pretty full so might just start my scan bran thing tomorrow! Lol. I was going to make the low syn chocolate one but found another recipe for ginger scan bran cake which is syn free (using scan bran as hexb) and I'll top with lemony flavoured quark.

Talking about it has made me want some though lol.

I'm surprised how big the portion of new potatoes was for a hexb on red days!

Ooh sounds interesting, good for you, not long now!! X

It's strange, I've used HEXs for meat on green days but never potatoes on red days. Must remember that!xx

Let me know how it goes. I've bought some scan bran tonight so want to make a cake at the weekend. Maybe a carrot cake? x

Well didn't make it tonight....carrot cake is meant to be nice though too! The ginger cake recipe I saw had carrots in it too, moistens it I think. Will try to make one tomorrow! Let me know if you do too x

 

[LauraLoo]

Well I made the ginger cake this morning. Thinking I'd have half for breakfast & half for after dinner.

Except its horrible! Blurgh. I really tried hard to just to finish it but it would not go down lol. I did have about 2/3rds of it but had to leave the rest. Had that horrible after taste of sweetener & just blurgh. It looked and smelled nice though. Still have half there, maybe chocolate spread melted on it later will improve it?? Hmmm....

Ooh you'll need to give me your recipe to try?

I did juice and zest of an orange, spring onion, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic - marinaded in it all day. Would have been nice with chilli too but my little girl was having them too so I didn't add it. I'll add a pic in a mo xx

Hmm apart from the syrup that's very like the recipe I used but with more ginger in mine! Maybe as muffin sized they'd be ok.....

I don't know I couldn't find my bread tin so used muffin cases. I think they are like marmite though.

13/5/13 - RED DAY

Breakfast - fresh mango & coconut mullerlight

Lunch - tomato mackerel salad, maybe a pink grapefruit after too.

Dinner - chicken curry with cauliflower rice I think, prob some broccoli at the side too as it needs used up.

Syns - salad dressing (1),


I need to meal plan for the rest of the week to do a big food shop too, throw me some fave red meal ideas?!?!

My scales were very kind to me yesterday morning, and the same reading this morning. However I know my first morning reading always differs to the class one because it's later in the day so we shall see later I guess.....I'll put the pic up in a bit. Needless to say I am sticking to all red days this week too and continuing to limit fruit - still enjoying some but not eating it "freely" !

 

[LauraLoo]

Scales yesterday morning and the exact same reading this morning. If this was reflected at class that would be 4lb off though I know my weight will differ slightly later in the day so we shall see!!

4lb in one week for me is like a bloody miracle!!!! Lol.
