Onwards and Downwards Continues in August

Welcome to August's Onwards and Downwards. Welcome to any and all new members keep up the good work.

Summer holidays are here again and those of you with children or grandchildren at home it can be tricky to keep the snacking down. How do you plan to keep the little ones occupied and out of the pantry?

Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!

Here is last months thread

[slinky.kate]

i am on a healthy eating plan and have lost over 2 stone in 5 months,my question is'i was to have 3 ounces of porridge(dry weight)but it was to much for me ,can i split it in two and have the rest a couple of hours later?(thats what i have just done.

[Old_Geezer]

It is the total input (compared with your output) that counts. Usually measured on a 24 hour basis, I believe it matters little when you eat it as long as you get the nutrition you need and no more calories than the dietician advises.

That said if a few ounces of porridge was proving too much to eat all at once you must have a much smaller stomach than I. (Or maybe a narrower tube leading to it.)

[slinky.kate]

since i have lost weight i think my stomach has shrunk,i cant seem to eat a full portion,i am on 1800 cals.a day and have been sticking to the tesco diet plan

[wendilla]

Well done Kate. I must get a couple of porridge breakfasts in and cut down on the eggs.I will try the 3 0zs and see how I get on with that.

[Marijn]

Well done to the losers! I have lost a pound and a half this week which I am very happy about. I've been doing more walking this week. Good luck for next week everyone!

[wendilla]

Well done notafish. Good luck too for next week. I am on a mission.

[Kacee]

Yay I have lost another 1/2lb this week. Perhaps I'm on the slow but sure plan. Feeling more positive this week though, at least it's a loss. Well done to everyone else. Hoping for at least another 1/2 next week!

[spotit3]

Well done Kacee and Notafish and also Slinkykate. You have all done well. I have to confess since my weigh-in this morning I seem to have been on an eating binge. Will have to get stuck in tomorrow again before I put the 2lbs back on again!!

[Sheenamf]

Managed to lose another 1lb, well done to everyone else, and keep going. I will be on hols in Devon next week so will keep checking in to remind myself how this slimming thing works! I started SW the day I got back from last year's holiday and have lost 25lbs, so give or take a bit that's half a pound a week. Slow but steady does it!

[Marijn]

Thank you. :-) Wendilla I know you are a determined person, I look forward to hearing you've gone onwards and downwards next week.

Hi everyone; I did weigh this morning but no time to post before work.

I did manage to lose half a pound this week, although I'd hoped for more as I've been pretty good grrr! never mind, well done everyone and onward and downward

[wendilla]

I have just been Asda and I have made sure I have got enough of Health eating till at least Monday.So no excuse for next weeks weighing.
Maid up I sometimes think I might have lost more but going in the right direction is better than the other way.
Good luck to all for next week.

[spotit3]

Good for you, Maidup. Little and often will get you to your target!

[Jan1957]

[Maydup]

Any tips Jan - I have a long way to go and feeling a bit low. Well slow going lets say.

[tiggerblue10]

Good Morning All,
Yesterday I thought it was Wed so weighed myself and the scales regisitered 2 lbs up.....today two pounds down from last weeks weigh in and so I shall take that answer. Over here it is either fast or famine with many lunches with friends and more to come. I have found that if I polish up my chatting skills I can't each so much ha ha.
Recently you have all been doing so well so I am looking forward to good results today. If not, never mind. We'll help you get back on the road to success. Onwards and downwards....
