When you have a spare hour (spare? yep I know not easy. Ive got 6children and struggle to find a spare minute some days) jot down what you have in your fridge, freezer and store cupboard and write a meal plan for the coming week then jot a shopping list that you can take to the supermarket. I used to do myself seperate…

Chutterz babeeeee:heart: Everyone Chutterz. Chutterz everyone. A very dear friend of mine and also a seasoned dieter just like most of us here :wink:

I forgot to weigh myself right at the beginning of my dieting so not sure exactly how many inches Ive lost but yesterday I popped my youngest son down my jeans with me. he thought it was hilarious :laugh: the older kids thought it was funny i had Gene in my jeans:laugh: Ive been thinking about the future and I think I want…

Notifications would be handy but I dont think they do them. I just check in a morning when I come on to meal plan and then again in the evening when I log. I'm back into the swing of things and feeling really good. I am trying really hard to ignore the nagging voice in the back of my head. However hard I try i cant change…

Well done. I found the c25k too painful. I think I tried too soon after my op. I am going to wait and see when my next one will be and plan it around that. We're having beef tonight. Roast with mustard sauce :)

We've been to a family fun day in the next town along. There was a book stall and I go a brand new copy of the pink book for 20p! Fab. I can now use my copy as my kitchen one as its a bit worn and has blobs foodie stuff all over it LOL. Also got 4 books to keep me going for a while. Whats everyone else been up to?

You found the thread then Amy :smile: now when you click on community you can just click 'my topics' and it will be in your list. Bloody well done. A stone in a month is fab for anyone but for someone who is as petite as you that is fantastic. I love the idea of fajitas with lettuce. Ill give that a go. Meals for you to…

Nice to 'meet' you.:flowerforyou: I dont think any of us are currently using the p2t forum. We've all been there at sme point though. (I believe). The atmosphere can be a little weird there and the advise is often conflicting so I just tend to stick to the book. I have lots more weight ot lose, probably 4-5 stone but am…

Yes ketosis dulls appetite. To lose weight though you still need to eat little and often which can be hard some days.

How are we all doing? Ive planned my meals for today. Ive gone for big filling meals today as I am famished. I didnt eat much in the way of filling food yesterday, just crappy carbs and alcohol (wake buffet). ive wobbled so much this past week Im just going back to week 1 Day1 and taking it from there. Exercise wise Im…

I have the grave boxes and had black olives last week which were awful. I forgot to cancel them and this week they sent me green olives in basil and garlic. Oh they were lovely!

Come on ladies, inspire me. Im doing my meal plan and online shop for next week. Give me some ideas of your favourites :happy:

Hello lovely! Nice to see you over here. By day 7 you want look back so keep going xx Ps great for snacking are nuts, olives, individual cheeses and peperamis

:angry: Its bloody frustrating when you put in the work and dont see the results. xx

BTW I realise my reply sounds a bit preachy and Im sorry x

Exante is exactly the same quality as LL and Cambridge. The loss tends to eek out at around 3.5pounds per week (a stone per 4 week period) Once you're in ketosis you'd be unlikely to feel any hardship swapping over tbh but mixing the two diets wont work at all. Exante is a ketogenic diet that uses famine, ie lack of…

yay for hot water! I always get on better if I just deal with myself seperately. If I try to fit in with others I end up floundering. Enjoy your trip on Monday. We're off to a dear friends 65th birthday party tomorrow. I think Im going to smuggle in some IPD friendly snacks so I can avoid the carb fest that will be the…

Well my bath was lovely and so earned after all that gardening. I feel stronger today too. Doing my meal planner. How is everyone else?

have you gone over or can you still pull it back today? I think I would have been tempted by bhaji's too. I love them. Im going to make the IPD ones on monday, Ill let you know how they come out. Ive earned a soak in the bath today lol x

Kick my *kitten* please people!!! I am really struggling to get back into gear. I had 60g of green and blacks and 2 Budweisser 66's last night. Why? Because Im a twonk :( Ive been good so far today and feel better for it. Dh is out this evening so Im planning having a lovely bath (sponsored by the lovely Lochbroom soap, no…

He's not so bad. Think Ill keep him :wink: Your Mr will definatly notice and probably beg you never to leave him again! Ive been for a slow walk this afternoon. We got a taxi to the cinema and then walked home via town. Got some bargainous tops for JJ in Primarni at £1-2 each and the kids loved the film at kids club. (yogi…

I feel so much better emotionally today, Physically I feel OK. DH sent me to bed this afternoon for a few hours to recharge:heart: as I didnt slep well with tummy pain last night so now its evening and Im wide awake. Im going to potter around with the kids holiday pots in my hands and see how many little jobs I can rope…

Ive just realised while Ive been ill I havent had any coffee. At all. Caffeine addiction broken. Ive bought a jar of decaf to celebrate :)

Thanks Cathy. Im feeling loads better today. Fleshy lump will heal on its own so no stitch needed. Other stitches are out. xx

Oh sods! I forgot to add it to my basket so now its not coming. Ill call and get some on my way home from the Drs later. Ive got to go and see if my bottom incision needs another stitch putting in it. I have a fleshy yellow lump sticking out where the stitch burst.:/ Im going to make a concious effort to get back to plan…

Ive ordered some halloumi with my shop thats coming Monday. Now will someone tell me what Im supposed to do with it? lol The bag of stirfry I have is 35 carbs per half bag so I wont be using that :/

I need to order another pot of shake as I think they will be handy for out and about. I might try the chocolate one this time :) So far Ive planned Comforting beef stew with cauli mash Chilli on lettuce salmon and feta bake Ill make the vegetable bravas again as it was lovely (celeriac recipe but used pepper, mushrooms and…

Whats been your favourite meal this week ladies? Im back to plan and raring to go and as Im sat on my bum doing very little Im organising my meal planner for next week. I want to try some new things.

Good on you Cathy. i always get a lovely feeling when i donate. It really does make a difference xx Ive just had a shake. Feel better already for it. Need to up my water as Im going to be constipated from all the faffing about in there and the tablets too.

I love the shakes. I have the natures best vanilla and tbh I think I would have quit by now without it. I genuinely enjoy it in a morning where as a cooked breakfast isnt possible here on school mornings. Righto ladies. Im all ready for the off. Think of me tomorrow while Im having my nap. I will probably log in on my…
