I have to share this with you.....
I was in Sainsburys last night. I saw someone who looked like Ted ahead of me. I was about to go down my aisle but I thought to myself "I will tell by what's in his trolley". So instead I walked past him to see. Salad, meat but then I saw apple pie and I thought "It can't be him". Then at the nose end of the trolley A 5KG BAG OF SUGAR!!!!
How funny. I mean what ordinary person buys 5kg of sugar, nevermind the great Ted.
:rotfl:

Quick question:

I know that sweetcorn is a no-no during induction/phase one - but what about baby corn?

Thank you.

Just a quick hi to everyone :hello:

HC - I don't know whether baby corn is allowed - best err on the side of caution, I'd say... x

Daisy hun - did you track down the hamster bedding?:D I can recommend it!

I'm doing ok. Found I was stalling for a while on Dr D's plan, which I couldnt understand because I've been pretty good with sticking to it. But I suspect it was the milk (which Dr D's plan allows, I hasten to add) - and because it was allowed I didn't look into the carb content, which I now realise is quite alot!! So I've now cut out the milk entirely and hoping that gets me back on track. Just wanted to post a warning about the milk, in case anyone else following Dr D's plan was having the same probs as me.

I'm also back on track with the 2 litres of water a day, so hopefully that'll help too. Only trouble with that is.... well, you know what the trouble with that is!:o:D

Much love to everyone,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxxxx

not yet saz but only cos ive not been back in town - holland and barrett is it ? name and price please

i was aware of the milk but only have it in my tea and since milk went up in price ages ago i have been sneakily watering ours down a bit without anyone noticing !!
worked all morning under my 3rd guise - receptionist then dentist and tescos - oh joy

off to aerobics shortly then onto a meeting at work that normally goes onto about 9.30 so i wont have had any dinner !!!! ill be starving - since beginning low carbing 2 years ago i dont cope very well with skipping meals - tend to feel really quite sick and not eaten much today
i wasnt hungry earlier and have now left it to late to eat before working out

brekkie was bacon egg and a fried tomato
lunch was a couple of crackers and cheese
snacked on an orange

Sazbo

Yep Holland and Barrett - I think they're called GG Scandanavian Bran Crispbread, or something like that. Has a blue pic on front with ears of wheat on it... i think:D Price about £1.05. Anyway, just look for something that looks like compressed hamster bedding and you'll recognise them straight away:D

Oopsie!

It was yummy, though. (Only had 2 or 3 anyway.)

And I haven't had a can of DC today (yet).
