Glad to hear you ate!
I will be skinny again!!!
- Thread starter bluepig1
- Start date
I also munched on a load of pringles, well not as many as my boyfriend but still too many, and had a very small scoop of ice cream 
But I know it was only because my eating pattern was so screwed up yesterday.
However, once again the scales looooove me
I'm at my lowest ever (well over a year) again. 196.75
And I am updating my ticker despite only seeing it once so far, because even if I fluctuate back up tomorrow (which happened when I hit 197.5) it will go back down the day after, especially if I can do something thats not happened in days!!

I feel a bit happier again now, think I'd gone too long without food and my mum had been winding me up being a bit stupid with money etc.
Anyway, overall it's still a loss so I can't complain.
Going to do my DVD again tonight when they go out, not sure what I'll be having for tea yet... I need more sleep!!!!

B Nothing
L ham and cheese onlette with cucumber and tomato
T Bacon egg mushroom
S Cheese cucumber and tomato
S 2 chocolate puddings, ice cream and swiss roll, 2 small packets of crisps (low cal)
D 4.5 pint sugarfree squash
Day 6 of 30 Day Shred.
Bleurgh, felt so bad when I started and found it really difficult but I'm so proud I managed to push through
Felt good for finishing and I took my measurements again and I've lost an inch under my boobs and 1 inch off on my arms and 1 inch off from my thighs so I'm happy
Not writing them all on here until I see more significant losses on the rest of my body.

Well I did type out a huge thing earlier then IE crashed and I lost it all!
So, today has gone alright really. Did 15 mintues hard cleaning, well, hoovering with a crap vacuum cleaner! But not going to do my DVD tonight, I ache from yesterdays a lot and I feel a bit sick because of pudding testing (all within my diet, I shall explain).
Earlier today I found a recipe for oopsie rolls. Unfortunately I suck at making them, need to use a blender/mixer rather than do it by hand like I did today, but they're low carb, and you can have them sweet or savoury. So tonight I made a test batch, some were too crispy, some too soggy, but some were "just right"... Sort of.. They need more whipped eggs, but they were alright. I tried them with chocolate pudding mix, and a new cinniamon cream (amazing btw). So overall I've worked out the aboslute maximum carbs I could have had was 4 through my tasting and eating.
So anyway, onto important matters..
Todays Food
Breakfast Slice of ham 0.1
Lunch Ham and cheese salad 3.1
Tea Lean mince in a tomato sauce with cheddar 5
Supper Pudding testing 4
Snacks Ham cheese and cucumber 0.6
Drinks Not a lot actually, gunna go get a pint of juice. Ended the day on 4 pints lol (I drank two downstairs, and brought up two and had some during the day)
Total carbs ~ 12.8 (too low but not too bad overall food wise)

Eurgh today went bad.
Food was too low then my snacks were horrendous.. Calorie wise I've been fine, but carbs went out of the window.
I do alright then a few weeks in I get so sloppy with it.
WILL do better tomorrow!!!!!!!!
Although I did get some spontaneous exercise in tonight

So a mini challenge for this week, drink half my weight in water.
So 198lbs = 99oz.
Except I'm English and and work in pints/litres not ozs.
So I worked out that 1 flid oz = 0.05 pints.
So 100oz = 5 pints.
So I'm just gunna aim for 5 pints of water/sugarfree squash a day.
Should be able to manage it, I'm starting on my first pint now
Only just got up, so I'm gunna go down and bake some oopsie rolls and have some breakfast, probably some ham cheese and cucumber, its such a yummy combination, I used to have it in sandwiches with salad cream all the time, now I just eat it on it's own lol
I'm not really missing bread/potato and stuff, it's the dryness/stodgyness I miss.
Like if I want a snack, everything is cold or juicy, when I'll just want something like a biscuit or something. So I'm gunna make some more oopsie rolls coz I can make a low carb swiss roll, or a ham and cheese toastie
My weight is dropping back down after my 5lb fluctuation. I apparently gained 5lb in two days, and two days later it's dropped down by 3, so fingers crossed if I keep on top of it it should be back into the 196's in no time.

Hi, thought I'd pop over and visit your thread as we are now team mates
I love squash and would never be able to drink enough without it. Luckily although I live in Mallorca our local shop imports it from England. I drink about 3 litres of it a day which I'd never be able to do in the winter when I go on to tea drinking.
I often put on a bit of low salad cream on my sandwiches- again imported from england. It's has much more flavour than mayo so you don't need much.
Good luck with the challenge and exercise this week.
Didn't get chance to update yesterday.
Scales still won't budge, food is still low carb and lowish calories.
Getting back into my exercising tomorrow.
Eaten well so far today, taken the squares of chocolate into account while carb counting, I should still be under by end of today.
3.5 pints down so far today, and I managed to get my 5 pints in yesterday too.
Off for now, might get chance later to update some more.

4 pints down, 1 to go
Eaten too much cheese again today, loads of marscapone and a little bit of cheddar.
Tons of cucumber and tomatoes though, and a bit of orange and red pepper.
Just went to make a salad because I felt I'd not eaten enough veg today, and the spinach had gone slimy and weird
So I just had tomatoes, cucmber and some peppers. I'd already had ham with cheese and tomatoes.
My food has got really repetetive though. I have ham, cheddar, cucumber and tomatoes for almost every meal. Sometimes on their own, sometimes with spinach. I'll have mushrooms and egg for breakfast sometimes. And I had "Cinnamon Rolls" today. I suppose it's not that bad, and it's still healthy balanced stuff.
I just can't seem to eat any less cheese.
I ate hardly any cheddar today, maybe 60-80g. Not too bad really, but then I ate loads of marscapone
It's sooo nice on an oopsie roll with splenda and cinnamon.
I ate about 150g
My carbs have been alright today, but I do worry about the fat I'm consuming.
My calories today have been around 1200 ish, maybe slightly more but probably less.
I dunno.
I just feel like I'm doing it all wrong here.
The scales aren't budging, my inches are inching down so to speak though, so something must be working.
I think I'm just having a bad day tbh, need to get back into exercise big style, no one is in tomorrow so I'm going to do my yoga dvd and 30 day shred. Maybe go for a walk tomorrow night.
..............................
Anyway, sorry for all that.
GUnna stop there because I've just had a massive cry and a cuddle with my boyfriend.
I feel a bit better now but still a bit worn out.
Gunna go watch some telly and drink my last half pint for the challenge.

Gah stupid.. Well I don't even know what to blame it on lol
Feeling slighty better today. Except for those damn scales!!!
199. And not moving at all.
Exercise starts again today though so fingers crossed.
Gunna take my laptop downstairs and do some yoga after my workout, and maybe get on my dance mat or go for a walk later.
No food yet so far except half a crisp lol.
Gunna go make some breakfast now, eggs and mushrooms I think.

Hey Red, I'm sorry you had a hard day yesterday. You've obviously been through a lot but you've made it through the other side and you're doing your best to improve your life. That's why I have complete faith in you getting through any hard times *hugs* You're a strong person and you can do this!
The scale will move soon, hang in there x

Sooo. I almost feel like I've failed. But I'm taking a few days out. It's a friends birthday on friday and I'm going out, but until then I'm focussing on the mini challenge and maintaining my weight.
I'm going to eat normally rather than counting carbs or calories, and hope I maintain or even drop a little.
If I stay the same then hopefully I will see a drop when I get back into it in a few days time.
I'm just going through a really hard time right now, and the scale not moving was really stressing me out and sending me over the edge a little.

Updated my ticker as my current goal is to maintain at 199 for a while.
Weight wise I've pulled out of the challenges but I don't want to let my team down so I'm still doing the mini challenges and exercising. Only had about an hour this week so far though because of various stuff.
It's the anniversary of my grandads death on sunday, 11 years.. Still feel funny every year. Guess it's because of how mmessed up I felt about it as a child.
I had decided I wasn't "dieting" for a while, yet I went downstairs to get some lunch and automatically had a low carb lunch... Not that I'm gunna complain!
It just feels weird to have bread etc.
Having chilli again tonight, but I don't think I can bring myself to have rice with it!
