I'm impressed with that sterling display of self control rawr-xoxo!
Well done you!
Cheesecake really is a good one to avoid on a diet.

Smiled at the "Young Man" reference
I was young once though!

Ahem.....er....yes...
BREAKFAST: Sliced up a quarter of a watermelon and had that with a pot of earl grey (no milk or lemon).
LUNCH: Just about to do a microwaved jacket potato (not a £10 NT one). Will have that with a teeny bit of olive oil instead of butter, as trying to avoid saturated fats. Also, will be having green beans with freshly ground black pepper and possibly a smearing of tomato sauce if it looks a bit dry.
DINNER: Not sure yet, will see how I feel later, and check what's in fridge and freezer.
Your recipes all look like great tasy low calorie options. I'm taking notes and will be stealing them (and any others I can find - like the ones elski and others have linked to or shared on the forum) for my own use next week.
I know that its best to aim for a gentle weight loss - I hear 2lb /week is ideal. However, I have loads to lose, so I'm trying to make some good inroads this week to kick start that. I think if I can manage a good start this will spur me on a bit to stick out the tough times later on once I've plateaud, which I know will happen.
Well done Diane, for going for the brisk walk today
- stuff like that has got to help in the scheme of things. My next NT excursion is planned for wednesday coming.
I'm not sure that you should be even thinking of having creme eggs at this stage. You should maybe wait until after your first week and see how you are doing before you take the reward.
Remember it's a dangerous game to play - One egg may not always be un oeuf.
"Eat Less, Excercise More" - That's going to be my mantra from now on. May even have a swim or two at some point.
I'm looking forward to seeing a veritable sea of "weght loss trackers" on this thread soon. Don't be shy everyone, come and keep Diane, me and all of the others here company. We can all encourage each other!
Think of the synergy - It's going to be great - we can all be thinner and fitter for the summer.
You've got nothing to lose - except for that excess weight!
I'm sorry - I'll get my coat!
) and I did have some cauliflower cheese so was definitely substantial. but thanks for the compliment.
