Taylor's Maintenance Diary

[Taylor]

taylor you are doing well. x

Thankyou Joy, I've had a much better week this week.

 

[Taylor]

I think that is a snack Mary and she maybe hasnt had her dinner yet! That is what I am reading

Lunch looked good; did you feel full up afterwards ?

I did feel full up after lunch and I think that's why I only wanted a salad for my dinner.

If only I could live on a banana for my lunch

Hi Joy, I don't want to lose anymore weight but I would like to stay under 9 stone as it's where I'm more comfortable. I did go down to 8 and a half stone but realisticly I couldn't stay there, it was too low for me.

You seem to be doing really well Taylor! I think it takes a while to get to understand where we are at, but doing great!!

hi taylor, glad you are doing well. The maintaining bit is not easy is it. I like to be just under 10, but any less I start to look ill, so my aim is to keep around 9:12 if possible.

Thanks, I'm trying my hardest but still enjoying myself. I could easily scoff a tub of ice cream in this lovely weather but I'm not going to.

Maintaining is not easy, you can easily slip up. I will be going to my parents with the kids at half term and that is when I find it difficult to control what I eat, a bit like going on holidays. I always put on a few pounds after staying with them.

Your doing good Taylor. Its ok to relax a little when you go away. I get it into my head before i go away anywhere that i am going to have a gain and i will sort it out when i get back. Aslong as you are prepared im sure youll do fine. Just dont go too ott! :giggle:

Keep it up Sian, the only comment I would make is regarding calcium. Do you have milk in teas and coffees etc. I would consider maybe having a yogurt or two during the day to just make sure your calcium levels are reached.

You may be right Mary, I'm probably not getting enough calcium. I have a dash of skimmed milk in my coffee and skimmed milk in my cereal. I get bored of yogurts very easily, if I have one each day for a few days I am then sick of the sight of them. I will get a pack of frozen fruits and some Total 0% yogurt today and have that as a desert or maybe for breakfast.

Tuesday 25th May

Breakfast: Lipotrim Maintenance bar


Lunch: Wholemeal bread sandwich with garlic n herb cream cheese, ham and salad

Dinner: Homemade curry with pilau rice and 1 slice of wholemeal bread

1 small banana
1 oatcake
2 cheese twists


drinks: 2 coffees with skimmed milk, 1.5 litres of diet tonic water with diet cranberry juice

 

[kered]

Great idea - I love that greek yogurt 0% its delicious with frozen berries, wouldnt think you were eating healthily when I have that.

Hi Sian Still doing great I see x

That is what it is all about....enjoying ourselves but having our limits....no point hating either not eating or eating food that is rank because it is "diet" food..there has to be a happy medium, eh!

 

[Scotsmist]

I was reading a kiddie menu book today and saw a recipe which I thought was good...so simple too and helps with calcium..

blitz some fresh fruit, or some orange juice with a yoghurt.....you can choose your own flavours and then put them in ice lolly moulds and freeze..then you have an ice cream lolly I had heard of just yogurt or just juice, but never together.......gonna try it and see...but might help you get more calcium.

I am not a big milk drinker either.....you could always get some WW or low fat hard cheese and have a little slice of that which would count too.
