I opt for eggs in some form, omelettes with maybe some ham/chicken/prawns or similar in, or a tuna niçoise. Or just some lean protein and mixed salad. Sometimes I make a bean salad as well, using a tin of mixed beans, lemon or lime juice, fresh herbs, chilli and some olive oil, all tossed together.
Still haven't replaced my scale so no idea how much I weigh and it's very frustrating 
For me personally: my goal is Mont Ventoux and I got some extra motivation from my partner as we have a bet going on (If I lose 10 Kg before April we are going to Lapland next winter)
Set a goal! And maybe find someone to motivate you or lose weight together?

Week 2 weigh in. Slightly disappointed, with only a 2 pound loss. But 6 pounds in 2 weeks. Gotta keep going.
I don't weigh myself weekly anymore.... towards the end of last year I was eating well and walking 10,000 + steps almost every day and after 2 weeks I had lost 1.5lb, It was so disheartening that I just gave up.
I started eating healthily again Jan 3rd once I was back at work and in better routine after xmas. I drink 2-3ltrs of water a day. I have eggs or high fibre cereal for breakfast then either fish or chicken with brown rice & vegetables for lunch and something SW or PON for tea. I feel so much better in myself. My stomach is loads flatter and my face is less bloated. I feel like I have lost weight, however no idea how much. Some times the scales don't help mentally.

I know what you mean mgmhs, sometimes they really don’t help!!
I have upped weights recently and I’m back to my full exercise schedule, but I’m not seeing the weight fall off as I’d hoped. But I’m feeling a big difference in my arms and legs. Hopefully it’s hormonal and I’ll be back to losing again soon

Had a wobbly weekend - lots of reasons I guess, all avoidable with a bit of effort and planning!
Hubby is still isolating in one bedroom thanks to Covid, so I ended up lounging around till lunchtime on Saturday then had maccies for tea. I was out at a friends house and everyone else had one, so I went along with it!
Sunday we ended up with a freezer tea - kiev, chips and beans.
All in, not terribly healthy or low calories.
Today is a new day. I've had 2 boiled eggs and a banana for breakfast and a low calorie sandwich and a satsuma for lunch. Tea is spag bol, with a bit of chocolate custard for pudding.

Got myself all geared up to try a new step class tonight and now it’s been cancelled 
Hate it when that happens! Have you got someone you could go for a brisk walk with perhaps?Got myself all geared up to try a new step class tonight and now it’s been cancelled
Luckily i’d already done a pre-emptive 2 mile walk just in case
That’s good!! I’m looking forward to the nights drawing out a bit so I can do some evening walks. Fingers crossed for you next week is on!Luckily i’d already done a pre-emptive 2 mile walk just in case

Hi everyone - hope you don’t mind if I join you?
I’m not tracking but just trying to create some healthier habits. We’ve fallen into a bit of an evening snack habit since weaning my daughter.
We like to eat as a family so we eat quite early at 5pm, which is fine because we’ve gotten used to eating earlier and as my hubby is still working from home he’s able to join us most evenings.
Unfortunately though this means around 8/9pm we’re snacking a lot on crisps etc.
Need to snap out of it as pre-christmas we weren’t doing it, but it’s become such a habit now I feel like I can’t go to bed until I’ve had my crisps
What’s everyone’s go-to replacement for things like salt & vinegar crisps or Doritos and dip?

Popcorn is a good snack. I like the feeling that there’s lots of it as it’s small pieces
Yes this is a good shout, I think I just like the crunch and the saltinessPopcorn is a good snack. I like the feeling that there’s lots of it as it’s small pieces

haha sorryHave you tried those pea snacks they have in Aldi? The salt and vinegar flavour one of those are like salt and vinegar chipsticks. Pop chips are nice and low calorie.Hi everyone - hope you don’t mind if I join you?

I have cut out snacks almost completely (don’t buy them so I’m not tempted, and would rather eat more at mealtimes) but still struggle with wanting sweets post dinner. Id try and push dinner back if you can as 5pm is very early, so I’m not surprised you’re getting hungry later in the evening. Everyone has their own preferences though of course, so ignore me if it works for you!

Ohhh baked kale crisps are easy to make and give you the satisfying crunch and saltiness! Lay kale on a baking sheet with grease proof paper under, sprinkle with salt and spray with fry lite and bake in the oven for about 5 mins till they shrink snd go crispy
My eating schedule is quite strange, I do IF and push lunch as late as possible and won't have my first meal until 2 or 3pm. Then maybe a piece of fruit 4/5ish, then I will have dinner 7/8. I like to have dinner later as it makes me more productive with other stuff, as soon as I'm sat on the sofa with TV on I'm not gonna move for the rest of the night, so pushing it later means I do other stuff before dinner and feel I've gotten more out of my evening. Then I will still have a small sweet about 9 but it's either 2 squares dark chocolate or Greek yoghurt with some honey. Both will satisfy my sweet tooth!
