I am finding it hard though I had a plan to actually stick with it. My weight may have been a tad over or under as when I got off a friends scale I noticed the pointer wasn’t on the 0 so I am confused. I am going to be weighed via GP surgery Wednesday 1st thing. Any advice on getting on and staying on track will be great guys n girls.
Thanks in advance
I'd say start using the Daily Diary. When you put your plans "in writing" and share them with other members, it's a real incentive to stick to them. Also, we can't make any helpful comments on what you might tweak or change without knowing what you're doing at present. You'll get great support there, and may be able to pinch some ideas and recipes.
Second tip: join a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice: that's been the greatest consistent support to me during my time here.
Third tip: find a few minutes each day (10-15 will do) to come here, read posts and, ideally, commit yourself to giving a message of support to at least two other people: it will repay you many times over 
My GP only does 2 or 4 weekly weigh ins unfortunately. At present bread is my downfall. Sourdough bread I tried finding it in calorie thing on nhs but unable to its the big sourdough uncut thing in Lidl it is just so tasty. I am also eating the blueberry wheat cereal from there but measure them and my milk allowance for the day. As for main meals I have loads of chicken and frozen veg. Spinach etc to add into any meal also make my own hummus too. I did a big shop in Iceland yesterday as I have a fair sized chest freezer and out all my meats in food bags and freeze them. Yesterday I was about to spend £5 on chicken for 10 breast fillets however they reduced a lot down to £1 each as it was dated for today so I got them instead. Same amount of chicken breast but £2 cheaper. I also hit the reduction items in Lidl though I work at a competitor supermarket but the still fresh section always draws my athwn. 20p for stir fry’s to freeze and salad for week day sandwiches or pasta dishes.
If the weigh in isn't for you, then, head off to the Daily Diary with your meal plans for the day and let them know what your plan is - calorie counting or whatever: if it's calorie counting, state the calorie range you're working to, from the NHS BMI calculator nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we...
1707-2195
So you need to plan for around 2000 calories a day. That will give you three great, filling meals. Once you have your plan for the day, add it to the Diary. Here's the link for today's healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
On a plus side we usually get a takeaway on payday but opted to go for a subway instead probably just a few cals less but was a bit better as it didn’t go to waste
For breakfast I have had 310cals so far. I just need to know how bad the sourdough bread is though I cut it in thinning slices and not chunks
You're going to need a large lunch and dinner to reach 2000 calories.
I would just weigh your bread, google 'calories in sourdough bread' and keep a note of it for future reference.
I am also cutting back on caffeine to 1 a day and drinking water/ flavoured (5cal) water rest of time
89 cal per slice
I get 289 calories per 100 grams. Does that tally? Is your slice around 30gms?
Not sure but I tend to weigh my food now so when I weigh at lunch time as having an egg and cress sandwich
Now you know what you've had for breakfast and you have planned your lunch, head over to the Daily Diary. That's the best place to get a good discussion about food plans. You'll need a lot more than a sandwich to hit your target of 2000 calories today, unless you're having an enoooooooooormous evening meal
You never told me you'd already posted on the DD!!
My reply to a post?
I am useless with maths so is this good for me or not.
I have found a chocolate replacement tho technically it is still chocolate but 39 cals. The options hot choc I don’t always crave but when I do I make a hot choc (butterscotch)
I’m going through the same thing. Mine is that I totally forget that I have eaten. I need afood diary
