Is anyone being successful?

I know I am not & was contemplating that my uniform felt a bit tighter today

Oh well! Anyone for a glass of wine & a packet of crisps?

I had been doing lots of physical activity - but this shouldn't happen right?

I normally have a sandwich but have been having something like a salad and a ryvita instead.

So ideas for lunches with no more than 200 cals - no meat - but I do eat fish....

(I'm having 200 cals for bfast, 200 for lunch and 600 - 800 for dinner.)
Eat more often and space calorific energy throughout the day. If you plan 6 meals, Breakfast, midmorning, lunch, midafternoon, dinner & evening snack you will keep your metabolism moving and stave off hunger. 1000 calories per day for any body weight will simply lead to muscle degeneration and water loss which will go back on.

Eating more protein and laying off the carbs a bit helps since protein is harder to digest and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. Consider protein shakes or bars (watch out for high calorie count sugary ones though) for snacks which means that you can have some "chocolate" (not really) in your day to boost protein and calories.

Aiming for 300 calories per meal will give you 1800 calories max.

Thanks Centurian - I will give that a go. I hate being hungry all the time, so the lots of small meals might work for me. Don't think I eat 1800 calories when I'm not dieting...though. I'll give it a go.

Want to try and get healthier before we go which means cutting down on my drinking...

...tea that is

It has just crept up on me and know that it is a vicious circle...last week cause I wasn't sleeping well, I was drinking more of it. That means more not so great snacks.

In my defence, there is a bar of Green and Blacks 70% (oooooooh YUM ) in the cupboard and lots left. That would be because of the obscene amount of homebaking I did at the weekend.

Tomorrow for brekkie I will, WILL have porridge. Ooooooh, another yummy one.

From me too.

Not been on here as I have slipped off my diet and too ashamed to show my face, (and bum!)

Very proud of you both.
