Onwards and Downwards Continues in August 2014

Hello all,

Welcome to this month's Onwards & Downwards. We welcome anyone serious about losing weight and we offer support and kind thoughts - not magic fixes, just sensible help.

Not sure if we have done fish already but it is worth taking another look. Thanks xstitcher :-).

I like the look of these healthy and low calorie fish recipes:

these fish tacos look yummy

fish curry, you could substitute brown rice or quinoa for his fluffy white rice to make it even better

You haven't missed much. It's a way of getting wet, somehting most of us usually try to avoid unless cleaning oneself. Mouthful, lungsful and eyesful of water; struggling from one end/side to another only to wonder why you bothered and opting to struggle back again. Then just when you think it is bad enough already you learn that you are the only one in the world that used to get out and go to the toilet when you needed a pee, the rest of the dirty $%%^%&s apparently just go in the water that you are now swallowing ! Yes I could not believe anyone could be like that either when I first was told about it.

Stay safe, stay dry, keep on the towel on the sun-lounger instead.

OG I agree with you entirely .

[xstitcher]

My walk is just to get the blood glowing or whatever it is supposed to do. Now a walk that takes you to a shoe sale is absolutely brilliant. I would gladly walk everyday if it would take me to interesting shops. Lead on MacDuff!

[Old_Geezer]

I was actually down and back to a reasonable value this morning, and now my work colleagues have dragged me out to a pre Bank Holiday pub lunch. So much for thinking I was getting somewhere ! (Nice though.)

[wendilla]

We'll you can honestly say you tried OG

[Old_Geezer]

It is true. Folk are always telling me how trying I am.

[xstitcher]

:-D

[wendilla]

You and I together OG will have to try a lot harder Lol.I am getting nowhere at the moment and I keep trying .

[xstitcher]

Good morning all.
Down just a bit under 1/2 pound...one pound away from my first goal. This is getting exciting.

Now off to do some menu planning I think. Did you know that if you pour boiling water over small bouquets of broccoli and califlower and let them stand for 5 min. they are perfect for a crunchy salad.
I hope we will hear good news from you all today and if the news isn't good then please let us hear from you anyway.

[xstitcher]

Correction......I'm 2 pounds away from my first goal post.

[Old_Geezer]

Well done you !

My scales aren't being recorded again. Because I don't believe them. yes ok after a BH and a tagged on extra day off, and a couple of pub meals, I'd expect to be higher, but not that high.

Back to the grindstone today.

Afternoon all,

congrats to those who are downwards and a positive pep talk to those still steady :-)

Just noticed that it is the first of the month on Monday, I know I say this every month but where does the time go? :-)

Anyway the fish recipes seemed to go down well and thanks to xstitcher for her ever helpful contributions and recipes.

Was thinking about diabetic recipes for next month as xstitcher is swearing by them now. Any other suggestions welcome.

see you all Monday xxx

[xstitcher]

Thanks Ed, glad to be of service.

[wendilla]

completely forgot . I will weigh tomorrow. Well done xstitcher.

[Old_Geezer]

Bank holidays do tend to throw one.

[wendilla]

How true OG it will be the end of the week before I catch up with myself.

[Old_Geezer]

Hmm... a more reasonable reading today. Despite eating more than I should yesterday evening (should have kept an eye on it as I went not later) it seems over the last 7 days (inc BH and a day's annual leave) the damage has only been +⅝ lbs. Not good, but could have been worse after those pub meals. Must pull my socks up though between now and next Wednesday.

[xstitcher]

Shall we get you some suspenders OG.?

[Old_Geezer]

Only if they are lacy pink with butterflies.

[xstitcher]

Oooooooh...quirky eh!
