haggis suppers are amazing, especially since i only go to the chippy about twice a year

[rabid]

Haggis in batter is bloody awful. Supermarket ones are pretty good. Butcher shop ones in a sheeps stomach are fantastic!

Best thing about shopping days is the good quantity of veg in the house = carrot, parsnip and onion soup for today!!

I agree, along with fruit.

We're making pork chilli this weekend, for dinners next week.

Tea tonight is chicken with rice and peas.

I'm finding calorie counting easy to stick to but my gosh 1200 calories per day is not very much. It makes me wonder how I'm not a great big fat cow, the amount I've always eaten until now?! I could easily get through 1200 calories in one meal.

[jump]

Yeah, I thought 1,000 calories in the min your body needs to live.

[rachbon]

1200 is the amount i aim for when i'm calorie counting. sometimes it's a wee bit less or more.

breakfast = 200

lunch = 300

dinner = 500/600

snacks = 150

^ that's just during the week, i'd have more at the weekend.

[Katster]

1200 is very low is it not? i would have thought

Saying that, i burn on average 2300 calories per day because i'm really rather fat and have cut down to about 1700 to lose weight. I've already lost some this week as i got into a pair of jeans i couldn't get into early last week.

Lost lots of weight but ended up with having my gallbladder removed.

It doesn't feel like I'm eating too little and it's what I've been advised to do. I'm hungry when it gets to meal times but I'm doing ok.

I can't believe how many calories are in drinks, it makes me think twice about what to have to drink and I'm having lots more water instead.

thing which is probably doing damage to my loss is margerine. though to be fair, i do try to be harsh when i'm judging. like saying it's 60 cals for 2 bits of toast. least i think that's being harsh?

Ben, you'll be suprised how much margarine you're using.

Says 80 in a tbsp, which is probably the amount you use for two pieces of toast.

I put 2 knobs of butter down as 100cals.

[saratink]

Don't forget that butter has more calories than can't believe it's not butter (or equivilant) and then lighter has less calories (and in my opinion tastes the same as the original can't believe it's not butter)

[RABun]

sorry, but that made me laugh.

least that operation removed some more weight

_{*if you are touchy about this, i apologise in advance!}

I'm going back on my diet on Monday, im following the new weight watchers pro points plan. Ive been trying to diet since Christmas, but because of my job and working sometimes 12 hour days, I need to be really organised in advance to take meals with me, and over the past few weeks i've been so pre-occupied with a big interview, that any kinda of organisation has gone out the window. That was today though, so going to go out on Sunday or Monday and buy lots of healthy stuff to make myself meals. Im not THAT unhappy with my weight right now, but I know that in the summer I will be, so i'd be best to start now!

My weight has gone right up, and peaked in jan last year, although i lost a bit last year, put a wee bit back on, now lost it and i'm trying not to think about it too much. I really don't want to be a yo-yo-er!!

Would say i'm more comfortable with my body though, because i've realised i'm never going to look like some of the celebrities or girls you see in the street because i like food!
