We're out of bread and date slices so today breakfast (two 'sittings' separated by the washing/getting dressed routine) was three digestive biscuits, a Pink Lady apple, three buttered cream crackers, and a pot 2 pots of tea.

You?

Three mugs of tea (not all at once) and an almond croissant from Lidl, yummy!

Soon time for a milky coffee, after I've showered and washed my hair, ready for a hard day at Wimbledon!

Thank goodness there is someone else who hasn't showered and dressed yet, Lona!

Going to shower now before you all complain, then off to Lidl!

ps banana and greek yogurt with honey + tea

Had the grandson (3 & 7) overnight and gave them their choice of breakfast so it was croissants, fresh peaches (warmed in a sunny windiwsill) and smoked salmon. Makes a change from a quick piece of toast and a gallon of tea!

No, I didn't just happen to have these in, they had asked for it specially in advance.

I showered and washed my hair before coming downstairs. I have had one cup of coffee and I am about to have another with 2 slices of bread with marmalde. I am not dressed yet.

Large mug of strong fresh coffee, then out the door for my morning walk. Nicked two raspberries.

Always shower and dress before coming downstairs then this morning breakfast was a large cup of coffee and a bowl of boring porridge.

No breakfast today, just a mug of tea them a coffee. Have a stinking cold, courtesy of littlest, and no taste, or indeed appetite. Might lose a bit of weight.......

Nanabelle Fri 04-Jul-14 17:16:40

I'm a natural yogurt and fruit person too. Sometimes scrambled egg too. Plus the tea of course!

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Jul-14 18:11:45

Two weetabix with skimmed milk. Cup of tea. Cup of instant coffee made with two thirds skimmed milk, one third water. As always. #sensibledieting

smug little me

Nelliemoser Fri 04-Jul-14 18:23:46

A low calorie day for me. One proper cup of tea and one Shredded Wheat with milk. Peppermint tea only since, a low calorie dinner awaits.

NfkDumpling Fri 04-Jul-14 18:39:43

I had more or less the same as Jingle - but can't feel smug as this was followed by a large choc chip cookie for brunch, bread and various cheeses for lunch, iced banana bread mid pm (new recipe - Mary Berry - had to check it), and have just finished with a salad - only let down by it being a prawn and avocado with loads of sea food dressing - and coleslaw! Not forgetting a rather nice glass of Pinot. blush

ninathenana Fri 04-Jul-14 21:26:46

I showered, washed my hair and dressed whilst DH cooked himself a full English and a couple of poached eggs on toast with the added treat of a couple of rashers for me. OJ with that followed by mug of tea.

At 5.30 this morning I ate a slice of Mary Berry banana cake spread with butter (in the bath). Then at 7.30 a bacon and egg mayo bap.
Tomorrow I shall eat nothing until evening when I have a 500 calorie dinner of chicken in mushroom sauce, new potatoes and veg. Kick-starting weight loss again to lose a bit more, having managed to maintain for 18 months. Have lost 6lb in the first week.

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Jul-14 21:58:00

Nfk!!! shock and envy

Shysal in the bath?!!!

Ana Fri 04-Jul-14 22:00:56

At 5.30?!!!

goldengirl Fri 04-Jul-14 22:08:41

Breakfast is my favourite meal. I have coffee, glass of juice and cereal - currently weetabix and shreddies with peaches. If I'm on my own I watch BBC breakfast and one of the cats usually comes for a cuddle. I'm up around 6.30
