Hi - well I missed the party...back to work this week so my time and planning was a bit erratic. The good news is that I have continued vastly increased levels of veg intake...not so much fruit. My logging has been approximates due to time issues and I couldn't weigh and was eating parts of bigger batches as sides, mains,…

I'm reading the Larson/Hornets nest too. Always meant to read the series but just read the first pre-Christmas.

O.k...so I'm glad I'm practicing for next week. Starting to get an idea what 800g is! 100g fresh pineapple 50g raspberries 50g strawberries 100g peaches 90ml mango and orange juice (cheat?) 300g Ratatouille (peppers, aubergine, courgette, onion, tomato).

Started the day with a smoothie - raspberries, strawberries and peaches with mango amd orange juice. Dinner was a curry with an onion sauce base, accompanied by ratatouille - onion, aubergine, courgette and peppers. So I'm happy with that for today. ☺

This is a fantastic challenge. Count me in. I just started my journey to lose 55lbs yesterday. When I fall off the wagon and put up weight the first things to slip from my diet are fruit and veg, to be replaced with junk! I'll happily do this one...but can't begin u til I shake off a stomach bug/flu that hit last night.…

I hope to get moving in February. I spent January cleaning up my diet and am thoroughly enjoying the food prep and menus. So my resolution is to exercise.

Hi! Is it o.k if I join? I started on 2nd January and have spent the first month changing my eating habits - cutting out 98% of rubbish and increasing intake of veg, introducing a lot of lentils and lowering intake of rice, pasta and potatoes. I have increased the amount of time spent on food preparation to include…

Thanks to everyone for the good constructive ideas. NorthCascades, you are right about finding an exercise that appeals. My exercise of choice is golf. But here currently the weather is dreadful, courses often waterlogged or frozen and also with 2 young kids it's not happening much. I do like the treadmill - I watch…

Thanks patslitzker...yeh...today is the day I make that move. I know it will drive itself once I set up any sort of pattern. Off to start ☺

O.k then...better practice what I preach. I'm going to go and get changed and do half an hour moderate to brisk walking on the treadmill.

Hi. I'm in Ireland. I am not a fan of exercise either. I don't know why but excessive exertion actually makes me feel ill and I hate the feeling. I hate walking for the sake of it. It's fine if it is the secondary event. I took up golf and don't even notice the walking as the golf distracts me. I bought a treadmill and I…

The other day I made up a tray of roasted vegetables with spices , a tray of roasted butternut squash with herbs and some spiced tomatoes to give me a few starting points for meals. Day 1 I had some spiced basmati with a little of those 3 things on top and a homemade curry sauce on top. I try to not always mix all the…

Hi Ladies. Can I join in please? I turned 50 last year and swore I'd deal with my weight by the big event....but I didn't succeed. Back now with serious intent. I started a week ago at 191.6lb and have lost 3lb so far. I want to lose about 50lb. My strategy is to work on healthy food changes first and add in exercise when…

Can I join you? I have spent too long feeling sorry for myself and now it's time to deal with the problem! I have done this before and lost about 2.5 stone. Now I need to lose 3 - 3.5. I will benefit from motivstional support but I am also good to give it. Add me if you think we can help each other out. Best of luck for a…
