2lbs this week for me too! I was so disheartened last night but I didn't reach for diary milk - or anything bad! I think im a changed woman!

Just waiting for my jacket potato then I can tuck into lunch.

Hannah don't worry about the 5lbs - I put 4lbs on over xmas/new year and lost 3lbs the following week so you could loose a big chunk of that by next week.

I've been so good all week and yet I've actually put on 1 lb! I'm back up to 12 st 11 lb and dangerously close to the obese mark.... yeuchh.
I'm fed up! I cut out so much: sugary food, dairy, white bread, potatoes. I don't know what else could I do and I can't exercise any more than I do because of the health problems what I have makes it virtually impossible, grrr.

 

[Pyrrhic]

Todays food...

Breakfast: fruit smoothie
Lunch: Greek salad with quinoa, bulger wheat, feta cheese, green beans, soya beans...
Dinner: low fat veggie chilli and brown rice

snacks: pineapple chunks
exercise: none

The thing that stands out to me, is that there is a lot of bread and carbs. Try to avoid toast for breakfast as you are giving you body a lot of carbs first thing in the morning. The muesli you had today is great. Things like muesli, granola, oatmeal, eggs, etc all set you up for the rest of the day. They are high in protein and are good for your metabolism.

Again, ditch the bread at lunch times. If you find yourself missing bread, get some melba toast or some crisp bakes. These are low in fat and carbs and are a healthy alternative.

Cereal bars can be very high in sugar and saturated fat, so just have a look at the box and make sure it's a healthy one, preferably with dried fruit and oats. Some cereal bars can have up to 600 cals in each one.

Carbs are ok to eat, in moderation. If you do fancy a sandwich/bread roll then have one about an hour before you exercise. Otherwise, try to avoid them.

Your snacks are great though, good to see lots of fruit in your diet. Apples are great in the morning. Bananas are even better. Lots of potassium and the yogurt is fantastic.

You are definitely on the right track, and I have no doubt you can lose the weight that you want as you already seem committed!

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advices! I realised as I wrote it actually that there seemed to be too much bread... I'll try to cut it out or replace it with a healthier option!

It helps a lot writing it down, which is what a lot of girls do in this thread. It makes you realise exactly what you're eating, and you become more accountable if that makes sense. I know when I eat I just shove it in and forget about it
