Started on Monday at 138.6 kg and today's weigh in 136.7 kg.

Am really pleased with that and it gives me something to build on. I had got up to about 141 kg a while ago and lost a few, but have been going up and down the same few kgs for quite a while. It is only a few pounds lost, but for me it is more about the fact that this week I have been able to control the eating a bit better and have been more aware of food intake. My eating has been out of control for quite a while, for a number of reasons, and this week it felt like I had a better grip on it.

Goal for the week ahead - hopefully lose 1kg, eat at regular times, limited snacks between meals are ok and try and get more active.
 
I'm glad to hear you are getting a grip on your food intake :) Simply taking control is such a huge part of the battle. And being aware of it is so important :) Well done you!
 
Thank you! Felt good to see that on the scales and if can keep a grip on the eating then should be on track. It is remaining consistent - usually I fail after a few days or so, but if can get past the first month or two and make the better eating a part of the overall routine then I should be well on my way. Thanks again!
 
Breakfast porridge
Lunch: grilled chicken sandwich, lettuce, margarine, mayo.
Snack: 2 toast with margarine & piece of chicken.
Dinner: chicken with onions, mushroom, 2 small eggs. 2 slices of bread. Handful of dates afterwards.
Snack - Chicken sandwich.

Was a reasonable day until after dinner - can't sleep and bit stressed about a few things so had a sandwich. Unnecessary especially after had a big dinner. Still on plus side managed to stop myself at the sandwich whereas previously would have continued eating - so that is a positive. Will just try and adjust a bit tomorrow caloriewise.

Already showing a loss, that's great! Definitely keep up with the food tracking, it's such a useful tool. Even without counting calories it's good... As you've already realized, having to type everything out gives you the opportunity to think about why you were eating, since it's not always about hunger.

Keep up the good work!
 
Breakfast: 2 cheese on toast and 1 toast with margarine.
Lunch: Chicken sandwich with mushrooms, onion.
Snack: Chicken wrap.
Dinner: couscous & pork, onion, chillies, and stir fry.

An ok day except for that chicken wrap. Too many calories for a snack, was getting some shopping in and it was on discount. Writing this stuff down is (as Oaks said) really making me think about what am eating for the first time in a long time. It is going to be a busy week as am moving house so hopefully will burn off a few calories as blitz the house and garden.

Thanks everyone - my goal is also not to put any back on this week. I tend to do well for a few days and then completely lose focus. So fingers crossed upto 1 kg loss would be good this week.
 
You have an overview on your weightloss and a plan for the week, continue the good work and have a nice week!
 
Breakfast: 1 toast with cheese. Fruit.
Lunch 2 bread rolls with coronation chicken.
Snack: Bread roll with cheese.
Dinner: Curry with rice.

Too much bread today and definitely could have avoided that second helping of rice at dinner. Overall not too bad quantity wise until dinner.

That is a lot of bread lol but it all sounds very yummy. I am eating too much bread at the moment, I can't quite work out what to replace it with though. Maybe low fat crackers are worth a try?
 
mmm, bread. I'm trying to avoid it at the moment as makes me bloated and feel all horrid but it's SOOOO worth it. New day today!
 
Hey Lou, have you tried making a wrap using a flour tortilla? That's the only thing I can think of to replace bread . I tend to eat crackers by the dozen if I use them instead!

Whoops, saw Lou's post and didn't pay attention to whose thread I was on. Sorry about that! And I can't figure or quick enough how to delete posts :eek:

It was a bread overload day yesterday! Goal today is no bread. So far so good. My problem is it's not just the bread, it's what usually ends up going onto it. Next step is to perhaps only by small amounts at any one time.

Crackers sound like a good idea.
 
Breakfast: Instant porridge.
Lunch: Chicken Soup.
Snack: 2 slices of Cheese.
Dinner: Couscous, grilled white fish & salad.

So far a no bread day. Quite pleased with that and think my goal for tomorrow will be to eat no bread tomorrow again.
