What have we eaten today

[LaLaLou]

Hi everyone, especially to all the new people, welcome!

Well done assj, that's a fantastic first week's loss, you must be so pleased!

I was naughty and weighed myself again this morning, dropped 1.75lbs since yesterday I must've been retaining water or something yesterday morning, I drank loads yesterday and hey presto!

Anyhoo:
B: 2 slices wholemeal toast, scraping of low fat marg and a coffee
S: Summer Fruit alpen bar
L: WW tomato soup, 2 cream crackers with 30g philly extra light, 30g blueberries
S: Apple, golden lights
D: Turkey escalope, baby new potatoes, salad
S: Snack a jack toffee popcorn and yogurt

That looks tonnes, lol. Total is 1296. Will most likely have something else to make it up to 1500. Must keep up the water intake today.

Just had a sausage butty for brek, 2 low fat sossies on WW white Danish bread with l/f marg and ketchup - OMG!!! WHITE BREAD!!! I literally haven't had sliced white bread for about a year... *heavenly* And only 285 cals!

Just about to go for a nice long walk and then take a tip from LaLaLou and have lunch at Costa, having boned up on their Nutritional Info web page beforehand. So probably the Green Thai Chicken flatbread (325) and a skinny cappucino (58).

Dinner will be bacon, red pepper & spinach pasta, 480.

1148 total, leaves 152 for snacks. Which just might have to feature that amazing WW white bread...

EDIT: forgot to say well done to assj! Well done, you!

Welcome all the newbies,

Going to try and have 1300 per day in the week ahead to try and kick start my body in losing weight, i know it totm and i did not expect to lose so hopefully next week will be a big one.

Oops, yes, missed that - well done, Lou.

Well I forgot to ask for skimmed milk in my cappucino and I'm horrified to find that they use full fat milk as standard! 101 calories!!! On a *coffee*. Argh, I'm so angry with myself. :sigh:

Will be having wine tomorrow with friends though so I suppose I could just look at it like I've been saving calories up for a few days.

Try having something like a sandwich for lunch. That'll bring your calories up. You can get some fairly acceptable sandwiches in the 250-300 calorie range

Today I started off with a bowl of Crunchy Nut Clusters, then had a 290 calorie Boots sandwich and a snack pack of baby carrots for lunch. Dinner was a veg + bacon pilau rice and a side salad. Omnomnom!

I'm also dead chuffed to have resisted the chocolate this week and still managed to lose 2.4lbs in spite of it being TOTM week. Hurrah!

 

[LaLaLou]

Woo! Well done Crazybrit, great loss. I have enough calories left over for a gin and lemonade tonight, yum yum!

 

[Aria]

Well done Crazy Brit!

I haven't weighed myself but my trousers are feeling a bit looser so hopefully I am losing.

Hi everyone I'm Sarah, I just started Calorie counting yesterday after years of unsucessful dieting! wish me luck!
So far this morning I've had
30g Special k with milk - 171
orange - 59
Skinny cow hot choc - 37

How much is everyone aiming for a day? I was thinking 1000 but is that too low? yesterday I only had just over 1000 and ate so much (mainly fruit and veg though!)

Cheers
Sarah x

Sarah,
The amount of calories you need to consume to lose weight (healthily at between 1-2 lbs per week) depends on several things, e.g. height, sex, age and current weight. Try "googling" how many calories do I need to have to lose weight and you will find some calorie counters that will tell you how much for you personally. You simply enter your statistics and it will tell you.
Incidentally, 1000 calories is far too little for you. Your body will go into starvation mode and so it will be counter-productive. I used to go on those kinds of diets and always put the weight back on. This time I'm aiming to lose it slowly and steadily in the hope that it finally stays off!

Good luck!

Hope this helps!

I stayed at the fella's this weekend. Back home and on track now... He got called into work at stupid o'clock yesterday morning, leaving me stuck at his house, with only poptarts and jammie dodgers for company... Oops. His car was blocking mine in, so I couldnt go to the shop He then come home at teatime and cooked a beautiful thai green curry... He tried though, it was using light coconut milk

The beer didnt help...

Anyway! Today has been two strawberry pop tarts, and a banana, then ww chicken soup.

Back on track !

 

[LaLaLou]

Hi all, I've had a nice day today. Up early, went to church then went into town. Didn't really need much, but ended up buying stuff anyway - an elf outfit for my son. He'll hate me when he's older, lol!

Wee tip for you all, Marks and Spencer puts the calories in their cafe food on the brown stickers with the name of food on. So that's another "CC-friendly" cafe!

B: Banana (small), apple Alpen bar and black coffee
L: M&S Emmental and Mushroom toastie, skinny latte (also had the wee biscuit that comes with it
D: Will be baked potato, cheese and salad

Brings me to 1001 calories for today. Hoorah.

 

[Auburn]

emmental and mushroom sounds delicious..

 

[LaLaLou]

Ooh, it was! 485 cals, but worth it

Adding in my "dessert": Had 100g strawberries and 100g grapes after dinner. Now have had 1088 calories today.
