Anyone up for a summer holiday weight loss challenge?

**spritzer** · 16-04-2012, 12:39pm

Hello all,

I desperately need to join in having scared the bejesus out of myself by getting on the scales. I need to drop a minimum of as stone, preferably 2!!! Will be doing low fat and some low carbing as well - main culprits for me are wine and sweeties so I'll need a bit more discipline than usual.

Good luck everyone!

Grr was doing really well until I decided to have a tiny piece of rocky road, which then led to a pack of malteesers and a mars bar! I need a good slap!

That is the kind of thing that happens to me

I have 250 calories left (I think) not including dinner which I have already tracked. Today I have had / am having

B - Oats So Simple with semi-skimmed milk
L - two slices of Wholemeal toast, 40g pâté, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, yellow pepper
D - Lamb Ragu with pappardelle pasta

Twirly. That's why I've given up P2T again as I just can't completely cut carbs out like it expects. I've decided to go back to calorie counting cos at least I can plan a little choc here and there.

My food for today has been
Bf: mango and a crumpet with EL philly
S: alpen cereal bar
L: AH morrocan couscous
S: mini ryvits
D: leftover Sunday dinner
all adds up to just over 1200 cals according to myfitnesspal

Thanks Bluebabe and Legolas. Sadly Legolas I have a sugar addiction and really need to cut it out completely. As today shows I can't just have 1 small piece of rocky road, it always leads to more! Anyway, today has gone to pot, I'll start again tomorrow!

Lost 1lb last week. Hoping to shift a little bit more this week, but since I can't do any significant exercise--pulled muscle in my calf and I'm lucky if I can make it up the driveway--I'm not hopeful.

I'm like that with chocolate things as well so I try to avoid it completely, or have some when my source is limited i.e. not in a cupboard in my own house hiding from children

I've had a good day

B: banana cinnamon pancakes, coffee
L: salad, crimbles coconut biscuits
d: Roast chicken and chorizo with peashoot avocado salad and peashoots.

I find I don't really get hungry for snacks if I eat enough protein at meals, I had 2 eggs at breakfast at 7am and wasn't hungry again until lunchtime

Forgot to weigh myself

so will do that in the morning.

Thing is Rosa, I don't have to be hungry to eat chocolate! Wasn't hungry when I ate it today! Just need more willpower!

**Rosa** · 16-04-2012, 06:50pm

No neither do I, I love the stuff

I can't have chocolate or biscuits in the house and I never bake

I have no willpower!

Oooh, scrummy day, Rosa!

Did you use any dressing on the salad? I haven't found a tasty avocado for ages--I have the world's worst luck with them--but feel slightly guilty about never eating them.

B: bulletproof coffee
L: cheese

Was out at hospital all day, and not particularly hungry, so had a couple of slices of Mexicana
D: Root veg hash with ham hock and a fried duck egg on top
Pud: strawberries, cream cheese (aka pretend cheesecake) 70% chocolate
