Hi Chia, yes, I tried that too, but needed to put in ‘2 weeks’ before I could see the first entries I had made. Somehow the first and last data don’t get shown even though the time axis shows the date.
Hi! Im brand new to the Program-signed up yesterday and created a weekly menu–This sounds very silly, but-am I supposed to eat everything listed under breakfast on my computer generated meal plan? ie for today January 15th (all three colored groups for that meal) ?–breakfast was a challenge because I really dont eat much usually, but the morning snack was an enormous amount of food, and Im really stuffed by bedtime?
“While you were sleeping” Jackiee…I was checking out that word “blether”…I have heard someone say “she’s all of a blether”….haha…..meant she was talking nonsense I guess!!!
But I googled the word and found the real meaning on “Your Scottish Slang Word of The Day”…I love it…really does describe you and me, your sister, my grandkids!!!BLETHER
(ble·ther) Dialect, chiefly Scot. ~n.
1. a person who chatters incessantly, someone who babbles on and on (“That wee yin o’yours is an awfy blether gettin’“).
~v.
2. to engage in conversation, long-winded or idle talk (as in “Ah met yer granny doon the toun, we had a richt gud blether the gither“). [See also sweetie-wife]Haha…now I am going to be hanging out looking for a Scot to say those things for me!!!
I didn’t realise you were a Scottish lass Jackiee….got a bit of that and a bit of Irish and a bit of English…hey, I’m a bowl of potpourri…supposed to be Spanish but haven’t found a blood link on Ancestry….someone was pulling the Seaborn kids legs I think!
I remembered my keys too! Thankfully I have the use of my daughters’car…she is using her husbands ute while he is sleeping after nightshift.Your little town sounds lovely…might have to visit one day, along with Kent, the Isle of Skye, and a few other places!
STill no more weight loss for me yet…sorry you have to throw it in for a while Harbourview…hopefully it won’t be for too long mate. Going to look again at yours and Dawn’s photos…happy sailing all.
Hi Marharp1 and welcome to the club!
Don’t feel silly because I think the majority of us all had the same question. You are supposed to eat all of the food on your menu. If you feel you just can’t finish then leave some of the fat and carbs. It seems like a tremendous amount of food, but it works! Before you know it your metabolism will kick in to high gear and you’ll start to lose 🙂
Good luck to you,
DoryssThanks Doryss–I live in Saskatchewan Canada on 11 acres by a small village–tons of snow here- warming up but it was -32degrees on the weekend. My co-workers are very interested in this program and will be watching to see how I manage–Im usually the one reaching for the chocolates on the coffee table or taking 2 pieces of cake” –Today I couldn’t have put one more thing in my mouth!!
Love your photos Harbourview and Dawn…especially Harbourview’s photo of Loch Scavaig. Dawn, your photo of Hungerford Bridge London, are you saying that the big curved building at the end of the bridge in the centre of photo is on stilts? Amazing engineering feat withinthe city hey? Love the city photos in black and white…bring a lot more light out. Very interesting pics…you have both done well, and I hope you sell heaps!
Marhap1….welcome to the cruise…Doryss said just what I was going to say!
And last week I was always feeling full, but today I woke up hungry, and have been hungry all day although I am eating all my food and drinking all my water…my metabolism must have kicked in!!!Hi Marharp1, welcome on board, your home town Saskatchewan sounds very idyllic, plenty of fresh air walks. Good luck with your healthy eating plan and managing to eat it all. Glad you didn’t have room for cake and biscuit.
Goodmorning Seaborn, so chuffed you had fun looking up ‘blether’ and that your not scaring the grankids today 😀 it’s great that your sticking to the plan and do hope you see a some weight lose soon. I felt hungry too on Sunday but think that was because I tried to replace the carbs and missed the energy kick from them. I hope you have managed to find some carb alternative that agrees with you. I’ve got a busy day today so better get on. Catch up later. Have a fun healthy happy day down under matey 😀
Hi doryssb and Lynn, hope you have a good day. Hi to everyone else too, hope it’s all plain sailing for you all.
Annalesmos, Are you ok, hows it all going for you?
Have just updated my planner, so new menu for next week. Really looking forward to it. All the family are having the same evening meal as me now. I find I have so much energy now, I’m using my treadmill for an half an hour walk in the evenings and really enjoying it, it’s not a oh no moment anymore. I really look forward to reading the updates on my phone, I catch up at break time and lunch time, helps a lot with the motivation, especially with others experiencing the same confusions as myself.
I never really used to eat breakfast, even when I did have a slice of toast I was always hungry by 10 a.m. , but not I have no problem lasting until my mid morning snack. I’m really enjoying everything about this programme.Hey all. How is everyone today. Well its been 24 hours since i joined and I am still finding mt feet. But i am sure i will get there.
The big problem i have i tend not to eat at all when its too hot. And being in summer we have a lot of hot weather to come. Tomorrow is going to be a stinker
Any suggestions to combat this.
Hello everyone! I have just started this healthy eating thing and am hoping for a few pointers. I have irritable bowel syndrome and spastic colin so some of the things it suggest you eat is an uneatable item for me. I love greens but some of them do not like me! Do you have any suggestions on what I can eat in replacement of them?
Try softer cooked vegetables like carrots and zucchini and other squashes. Definitely don’t skimp on vegetables, because you need the antioxidants. You can also add mild seasonings like turmeric, which is particularly good for your issue. It is recommended that you look into a multi-vitamin/mineral to make up for any gaps (i.e. in magnesium and folic acid). Hopefully you find that there is a wide enough selection in the Menu Planner for you to customize your menus to your needs.
Hi everyone hope your all being good!
Rebecca, Glad your getting lots more energy from this program, I can’t believe how much I seem to be bouncing about my days now and good for you managing to get your family eating your healthy eating plan. My man (being typical italian) tried brown pasta and said he prefers white, so this weekend I’m going to make pasta using Kamut flour without telling him to see if he notices the difference!!!
Ossie, Is it possible to change a meat option for Liver on occassion?
Kelz have you tried changing items on your meal planner, think everyones the same in hot weather. Here in Italy, alot of people eat cold pasta during the summer months with tuna, sweetcorn, peas, or kedgeree are nice dishes to have in the fridge for a healthy carb\veggie lunch\dinners. We’re due snow tomorrow, so it’s hard to imagine the heat, good luck in finding alternatives, I so miss summer fruit in winter much more choice in summer.
Good luck Phayne, in trying alternative, I to have IBS and have been trying to introduce green vegs again in my diet, tried green cabbage a few nights back, gave my terrible wind but otherwise managed it not to bad. But I find beets, carrots, red peppers, peas and fennel good for me. I usual change beans for chickpeas as they disgest better too. Keep us posted on how you get on.
Seaborn, sweet potpourri for sure, you would be welcome here anytime. Your have to do a world tour to get round everyone though. I managed a walk today, all be it on my own 🙁 local friendly neighbour didn’t want to go as it is raining! Me being scottish, this doesn’t make any difference to me as Billy Connolly once said ‘there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!’ which I tend to agree there anyway if you didn’t walking in the rain in scotland you wouldn’t get oot the house. Right that’s lunch finished, better get on. Have a good day all 😀
Thanks jackiee. I am only just starting here. Have tried different diets in the past and always struggle in summer cos i dont have energt to prepare or eat. The heat really saps it out of me.
But i am determined not to give up this time and will try anything. Including preparing the meals on not so hot says and keeping them in the fridge.
