Onwards and Downwards Continues in August 2015
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.
The long hot summer holidays are here and I know some of you are entertaining young folk at home. This can make it tricky to keep an eye on your in-take. But here are some tasty kid friendly snacks that are also annoyingly healthy:
For a savory snack try this yummy looking lemon and coriander houmous served with chopped vegetable sticks or bread sticks:

These instant frozen berry treats look easy to make as well:

Even easier are these make your own spring rolls:

and you could swap in other veg and ingredients.
And of course, simply leaving out a plate of chopped up veg and fruit like apples, carrots, cucumber and grapes, can seem to disappear without them even noticing they are eating healthily ;-)
Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!

sympathies OG I agree about the water and when it gets boring add a dash of low sugar cordial. When you're shopping buy a few things for these very moments. Like a ounnet of strawberries or an apple, or a few low fat snacks. If you don't have anything you're more likely to eat something inappropriat e! Otherwise its a case of finding a distraction if just a walk...

I`m not sure that started a low carb diet so soon after being bereaved was a good idea. I`ve been in floods of tears for the last couple of days. There seems to be conflicting advice about whether it causes depression but maybe it`s not the best time for me. I`ll give it another couple of days and see how it goes.
Any time you switch from high to low carb,you need to expect a period of adjustment. Your body is switching from burning carbs as fuel to burning fat. There is the so-called carb flu...headache,fatigue... feeling generally rubbish. If you are emotionally depressed it may be best to give yourself time. But switching away from carbs will always be best for your body in the long run.
Good morning All,
My number one priority this weekend is to find a new place for the scales. The old place no longer works as the bathroom has been made into a wet room.
I've started taking my first unaided steps this week so there is no stopping me now.
I was weighed at training. Even though it was with clothes on and after I'd eaten the result spelled out naughty step for me. :-((
