Hey Folks
Now that my weight has dropped from 3 figures to 2 figures i was wondering should we have a small celebratory “below 100” dinner sometime soon? After work Friday night? Sunday? (We could invite Keith along and torment him with WW talk)
We could make it a ritual whenever one of us drops below 100. Or for the socially challenged diet like crazy until you drop below 100. Eat until you rise above 100 diet below 100 and then organise another dinner?
Well, I am in Leeton NSW. Eating okay, but I could do better I suppose. Last night had a thai chicken thingy with green vegies which was yummie and prob. not too high in fat.
The problem is that I am taking cough syrup to suppress a nasty hacking cough I have. guess what? No food information panel! I know it contains sucrose and alchohol, but I need to count this thing properly.
I’m doing about 3 x 10 ml shots a day and have done so since yesterday afternoon. Before that I was eating Blackberry Soother lozenges at the rate of about a packet per day. I’ve given up on them as they don’t work. But not before eating three packets.
I am getting exercise though – I am walking to my client so I’m getting about 30 mins of light exercise a day. I’m not using these bonus points.
Clues?
(more…)
I gained weight! only 0.4kgs but still…. I am going to keep tracking here though, I think it helps.
2 x raisen toast and lf spread 4
coffee and milk/sugar 1
pasta with bacon matriciana (yum) homemade 8
home made fried rice x 2 cups (one before weigh in and one after) 6
1 x glass of red wine.
total 20 points
again no fruit 🙁 I plan to start my fruit plan tomorrow. I am going to measure out the amount on a plate and make sure it is eaten by the end of the day.
I am going around to a friend’s place to check out her new baby tomorrow. I am going to take around some morning tea and lunch. I thought I would take a fruit platter, some rice crackers and make this delicious salmon and ricotta dip that my step mother made on the weekend.
Can you think of any other good ‘breast feeding foods’ that I should take Paul? Seeing as how I was one of those e-ville bottle feeders I don’t have a clue 🙂
In contrast with last night’s effort, lunch today was a bit of a disaster. In fact, most of today has. I had my lunch early as I was feeling hungry, and then I realized I was to go out for lunch. The second lunch consisted of sweetcorn and shrimp soup with coriander (yum) — small bowl — any guesses on the points? I’ve lumping for three, but happy to take corrections. Wine also consisted of four points of lunch. Or, I think I got that the wrong way around. Lunch also consisted of four points of wine. Bummer dude.
Came across sachets of WW mousse and desserts in the jelly section of the supermarket.
The Choc WW mouse is superb. On Saturday night, I whipped it up according to directions, then I got some fresh strawberries, halved them, and stirred them in through the mousse. Popped the mix into two parfait glasses into the fridge for 90 minutes and I reckon it was one of the nicest desserts I have had in years.
The Strawberry mousse is surprisingly nice. I have found that sometimes strawberry things can be overly sweet, but the flavour is subtle. Very nice.
The mousses make two serves per sachet, and each serve is worth one point. With the strawberries, it is 1.5. I think I will ditch the Nestle tubs in future for these things; much much nicer, and not counted as a sugar point!
We have not yet made up the desserts (I got a rasperry and a choc one) although each sachet only makes one serve, and each serve is 1.5 points. The esteemable Mr Kosky said that he tried the reaspberry one the other night but was not overly impressed. We’ll get through the rest of these this week; will report as it happens.

PS Inger, the choc mousse + strawberries is a good way to get 0.5 pt of fruit!
Thx for the data Ajv – my first reaction was “September – no way!” but then – september is better then never isn’t it? At leas it is before my step brother’s wedding. My step sister (not the one getting married) and I have a pact to “lose it” by then as it is bound to be filled with blonde, skinny chicks….
boring food today.
1 toast with 1 tspoon of lf cream cheese and vegemite 2
left over cheese and mac 7
capari and soda 2 (yum)
no bacon cabonara 8 (made with egg, tomato, oinon, parsley, garlic and a small amount of feta cheese)
total 19
and last night I had some dry cereal because I couldn’t find the m & ms…
(I think I see the problem I am having with weightloss btw. Not so much points but food variation. There are waaay too many carbs here. And probably too much dairy. *sigh* looks like I will have to start eating that fruit after all….)
Inger’s stats are now up as well.

I think it might help!
Anyway, to finish all of today off, so to speak, here goes:
1 pack of sugar free gum 1 pt (should be zero, but most people don’t eat them, nor do they get through a whole packet in a drive to work)
raisin toast 5
long black 0
small serve beef strog on mostly rice … too delicious to be anything other than around 10 points
WW bar 0.5
WW tiny meal of something vaguely like airline food 4.5
whole pack of sakatas 4
fruit muffin with smidge of butter 3 or 4 points. Delicious. Let’s call it 4.
29 points. I could feel the WW meal wasn’t going to cut it. If I’m going to have those in future, I might double them as it’ll be better than having a whole packet of sakatas and a fruit muffin to get rid of the munchies.
Hey good one Andrew. I am worried about your sugar free gum habit though 😉
I am noticing that I don’t eat fruit. I don’t hate it – I just find it boring. I wonder if this is a problem? Any thoughts?
one egg, poached 1
piece of toast, no butter with vegemite 1
coffee (milk and sugar) 1
.5 ish cup of rice 2
chicken curry 5 (rather disgusting, I didn’t finish it. I checked before I ordered that it was not cooked in coconut milk or with ghee. They are obviously what usually makes bought chicken curry worth eating…)
homecooked mac and cheese, WW style 8
total: 18
Under today to make up for the bit of overclocking on Tuesday. Though I might have 20gs of m and ms if I can find them later, with a cup of tea.
Well, I’ve been busy. Honest.
Monday 27.5 points (tracker is at home, doh!)
Tuesday 25 points (ditto)
Wednesday:
two WW bars 3 points
earl grey tea
pasta with tomato based sauce and greek salad 6 pts
lots of sugar free gum 1 pt – I ate lots and lots
earl grey tea
low fat mini-pizza 10 pts (i ate the entire thing, 270 gm)
2 mini-crunchies (any ideas? – they’re like 12 gm each)
Today so far:
1 pack of sugar free gum 1 pt
2 slices raisin toast with a smear of butter 5 points
black coffee
