My intake of fizzy drinks (soda) over the past few months definitely increased, especially over the holidays. I'm not someone who feels like they absolutely have to have one every day and drink nothing else though. My plan is to continue reduce intake, but having it if I fancy something different than water. I find it can…

Morning all, Thought I'd check in. Scales seem to be going down so fingers crossed for a loss on Monday. Some days this week I've used a 330ml can of fizzy drink here and there when feeling on the hungry side, pepsi max is like 1 cal per can, 7 cal per 7UP sugar free lemonade can. Keep seeing really nice looking food…

Yeah I've started the meal prep today for this month, will look into next month this week whilst discount is on. I'm slightly annoyed at myself this evening - I did about 1hr 20 min or so mountain biking at various inclines with friends, it was really muddy too so was quite a workout alongside the additional walking and…

Username: mszoueb Weigh In Day: Monday PW (Previous Weight): 241.2 CW (Current Weight): 244 Morning all, happy new year! I'll catch up on all the posts in the thread later on. I was expecting, but hoping that a gain wasn't on the cards. I think my number this morning is a mixture of eating, higher sodium intake and TOM is…

Thanks Linda and Megan, glad to be back. That's true, I'm thinking when I go down to 5 days on it, if I can stick within calories at the weekends then I should still lose at least something each week after January :) The no takeaway goal is definitely in my radar of thoughts, I'm thinking of doing till towards end of April…

Hi All, Long time no see! I was part of the Downsizers team from August 2020 until late Summer this year when I took a break. I still managed to hit a full year of daily log ins yesterday which was a big achievement that I'm proud of, I hope to keep it up, but I still feel accomplished to be able to say that I managed it…

I read this and then realised I forgot to weigh it cooked before I put it in the sauce and ate it, oops! I'll try remember next time I have pasta like that. Do you have any outside space? If you do, you could get some determinate tomatoes, they seem not to grow massive. Could do some stuff indoors :) I had chilli plant in…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 227 CW: 226.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Yay for a loss, I have no idea how because my food hasn't been good, was getting back home at 1am consecutively so, ended up with fast food a number of times..shall see if it is just a fluctuation, but hoping I can retain the…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 226.4 CW: 227 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Had my 2nd jab on Saturday and feeling a bit ropey with side effects, hopefully I'll feel better in the next few days because I have events on Thursday and Saturday that I don't want to miss out on. Read your post on the previous…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 225 CW: 226.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. In this next new month, things need to change so I'm back to being a downsizer not upsizer. Granted, I am on TOM so there will be fluctuation, but it's more than just that. Thankfully it's nearing end because oh man, I have felt…

1. Tell us a little about yourself? My name is Zoe and I'm from the UK - I think there is a few of us in the group who are also. The things I enjoy most is doing art based stuff like drawing, cycling on my MTB, gardening, listening/watching new music/tv/films/books, being out in nature, photography, playing acoustic…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 225.4 CW: 225 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Got a couple of usual dog walks in this past week, still need to get better with my food especially towards the end of the week into weekend. However, I've started this morning better with a bread muffin topped with mashed…

Thank you, here's the nutrition amounts off website: 8 Smoked Bacon Medallions 200g Typical Values Per 100g as Sold Energy 418 kJ 99 kcal Fat 1.9g (of which saturates 0.6g) Carbohydrate 0.5g (of which sugars 0.1g) Fibre 0.6g Protein 19.6g Salt 3.0g In comparison two other bacon varieties: 10 Rashers (approx.)

Thank you, it's actual bacon but instead of the full rasher, it's the top part of it - You could probably get it in the supermarkets where you live. Technically you are getting less bacon and probably paying more, just depends if you want to save some calories etc. The one I get is a 5% fat one, so it's lean too :) Your…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 224.4 CW: 225.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. The scales have given 0.4 difference of 225.4 and 225, either way it isn't the way it should be going, but not surprising after the past week. I know as a team we support one another through the ebb and flow in our journeys,…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 223.4 CW: 224.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Wow, 78 posts to catch up on in the thread when logging in and I try to read the thread daily. I love how active the team is. I think it's time to acknowledge for myself, that some habits have crept in and I haven't been doing…

Did you get to try the pizza recipe I mentioned a while back? I use 85g Self raising flour and 95g fat free greek yoghurt, combine them together in literal seconds to get a ball, flatten out with your hands on greaseproof paper and you can experiment to your hearts content with base and toppings. I usually do mine stuffed…

Yay, welcome back Mari!! Glad to have you back. It feels full circle in a way that you were there when I started my journey with the team last August and now you're back on my year anniversary. Look forward to crushing this next year together as a team! Sending you best wishes💪

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 222.8 CW: 223.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in and another new month. Welcome to all the new members, you made the best decision to join the group. This month marks my first year anniversary since joining the team in August last year. Where has the time gone? It is…

I believe it could be this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Rechargeable-Smartphone-Composition/dp/B079DQ7JK6/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=renpho&qid=1627363633&sr=8-17

That's interesting, my scales say this about this on bone mass: and I'm 222.8. Also big congrats on reaching over 100lb lost @Poobah1972 , what an amazing achievement! I have no doubt that your continuous drive and commitment will get you to your overall goal in no time.

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 224.6 CW: 222.8 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Had a lovely time at the beach a few days ago which was one positive of last week. I'm dubious on this weigh in number, I think it's due to either hormonal or not getting enough water in because it sure isn't food related.…

Thank you, yes I did get into a rhythmn of having the 5 days of prep service and maybe some additional extras and then have the weekend free to myself which was a decent balance that worked for a while until not so much. One reason was the weekend freedom and habits were blending more into the weekdays as previously…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 223.4 CW: 224.6 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. I pretty much checked in yesterday so don't have too much to say. I'm aiming to get my food under control this week because bouncing around in the same numbers isn't fun or motivating. I do get curious so I weigh once or couple…

Whew, it's so hot last few days, I don't mind the sun it's just the humidity side which makes it uncomfortable. 30c yesterday with no breeze, probably not hot for most of you overseas. Unfortunately the houses in the UK have no air conditioning for these being in a oven feeling times. Had windows open and a fan on in…

Hahaha, you're welcome! and thank you - I can't remember what time zone you're in, but I'm in the UK so probably a few hours ahead of you, a little help from the future! Timezones blow my mind, like when you're living in the moment you are in there isn't a difference, but it reminds me of when I was on Zoom recently and I…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 224 CW: 223.4 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. It was good to retain a loss, saw 222 on Saturday, but in the 222's and under will be next week's weigh in goal! With it now being mid July, it's got me thinking about the remainder of the year weightloss journey. As side from my…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 224.2 CW: 224 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. As you know I was active with cycling and walking earlier in last week which was good to get out, however food went more downhill towards end of week so I know why my loss is very small, a loss nonetheless. I need to watch my…

Just came on to say that I've managed to do some cycling two days in a row! Yesterday's ride was 5.33miles and today's was 3.31 miles so I'm proud of myself for being more intentionally active alongside anything else I've done or do this week. Yesterday, family brought back dessert home for them which also included…

Username: mszoueb Weigh in Day: Monday PW: 222.8 CW: 224.2 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in and the new month! So, this past week it looks like I took a temporary diversion off the main road on the scales again. A gain from last week, but technically June finished and July started on a small loss as I started June at…
