Today has been a 10.

Started off the day disasterously, as I had no electricity and no way to sort out lunch! Worse still, was out of bread and couldnt go out as I had guys working in the house, who needed my attention. So I stuffed my face with the worst choices - peanuts and biscuits. Thankfully went to the gym in the evening and make up, a…

Ah now I can see your pics and the difference on your waist and thighs, and the expression on your face too! 10 pounds does makes a visible difference, both to one's appearance and one's health. So keep positive and keep at it!:smile:

Hi, where are the pictures? On your profile? They arent on your post..

today is a 0, not even a one! Thank god for tomorrow!!

rating for today is 1. Dont know why but have done no exercise the past two day. No gym, no walk, no aqua aerobics. Nothing. Shame on me!!

Oh dear, am I the only one rating the day? It feels like I'm talking to myself! In which case I'll keep it short - an 8 for today.

I normally choose to send a friend request because I think, looking at their profile, or their diary, or a comment that they have made on a message that I have something in common - be it diabetes, the same weight and weight loss goals, or their attitude to food or losing weight, so I normally send a message telling them…

I like looking at others diarys - specially people with similar attitudes to eating and meal planning. I just feel happy to see my friends eat well and I also get some nice ideas for new foods, looking at their diarys, and I hope they get the same looking at my diary.

Yesterday, sunday 1st July, started off well, with a good walk with the dog. Was supposed to go out for lunch with an ex colleague, and was really looking forward to the treat. It ended up a bit of a disaster, with us finally eating at 3.30 pm and that too at McDonalds, as that was the closest place around. Did count my…

Happy to eat a hard boiled egg ( Right now it's just a weekly treat for me - as I have high cholesterol) but love scrambled, fried and omlettes. Also love the indian way called Anda ( which is egg) Bhurji. Here's a recipe if you are interested....…

Saturday 30th July - my rating is a 7. The the food was good, but I got no exercise as I showed up at the gym in the afternoon, and found it shut. The place shuts at 1.30 on weekends which doesnt make sense to me. That was disappointing. Intend to be out first thing tomorrow morning - keeping my fingers crossed it isnt…

I think you have a sensible attitude to losing weight, and I think your advice, if you want to call it that at all, was sound. At the end of it all, there is a far higher possibility of your keeping the weight off, then someone who loses weight in such a drastic fashion. They will figure out that you were right when that…

My rating for friday, 29/06/12 is a 9. Started the day off well with a nice walk, and the food has been fine too.

Actually I started eating healthy at the beginning of march, but didnt calorie count or anything like that. Only recently joined MFP. Still dont pay much attention to the calorie counting, my diary helps me be more aware of what I have eaten, and the food groups. I had tried for three days, and went beserk on biscuits out…

I had put my goal as 1 and a half pounds and had a calorie allowance of 1200. I had to starve myself to meet that goal, and after three days I went bonkers on the biscuits. I eat more now and dont pay too much attention to the total calories, and am losing weight. I do however choose my food carefully, and try and keep the…

My rating for thursday is a 7 as I got no exercise. Otherwise a lovely day.

You look gorgeous! And 10 years younger too!

Trying to recover from yesterdays pub meal, so just snacked through the day, and had a proper dinner. Feel much better now so today has got to be a 7.

Today has been a difficult day. Had to go out for dinner, so ended up trying to be very careful all day. Exactly the opposite of what I want to do, which is eat three balanced meals. By 3.30pm my hands were shaking, so ended up eating a banana. And then a couple of small snacks just to keep me going till the evening.…

How about we start a new topic each day called Rating/(and the date). That we we can see each days ratings, without having to look at earlier topics for ratings. Would that be alright?

13 Rich tea biscuits after dinner. I was still feeling hungry after dinner, and once I started I couldnt stop! I increased my calorie allowance from 1200 after that binge, as it just wasnt enough for me. Thinking about it now, what a lousy choice for a binge, should have chosen something more tasty! I guess I was too…

You look wonderful. You are an inspiration for all of us!

Missy.

Maybe you could try looking at it from a different angle? Dont think about losing weight and dieting. Just concentrate on making healthy choices, and eat mindfully. Be aware of when you are physically hungry and when you are full. Take each day at a time, and be organised about your meals ( so that you never reach the…

I give myself a 9 for yesterday. Had two good, healthy meals and a nice variety of snacks!

Its definitely worth going to a shop and being measured, rarther than measuring yourself. It worth going to a specialist lingerie shop- and they normally offer it as a free service. It's not just the size, you get to try on brands that you dont find in debenhams and other large stores, and some of them are so much more…
