Yay! I'm a coleslaw addict now! :laugh:

I went out for lunch and had salmon salad, it came with coleslaw..! and berry cheesecake.. the crumb I shouldn't have had, but there was loads of cheese inside, so that was nice It was the best thing I could see apart from proper cakes and stuff..

Not sure what i'm having for dinner, loads of stuff in the fridge, so I will have to have a look :A

I wouldn't have touched the cheesecake - it was probably loaded with sugar in each level

I would drink LOADS of water today and tomorrow, and avoid all fruit and carrots for a couple of days to try and get rid of the sugar

Yeah, I feel a little silly having it to be honest..

But, on the plus side, it wasn't sweet like I would have expected, so i'm hoping that meant not too much sugar.. still shouldn't have had it, but I don't go out for lunch often, so hopefully it won't happen again.

Might pop to the gym this evening and try and burn some off..

sorry to rain on anyones parade but unless u have made the coleslaw yourself i wouldnt trust it..shop bought ones particurly have sugar in (yes really lol how often do isay that!!!)

as for the cheesecake well as tinker says u can guarantee there was sugar in it.. make it yourself if u want some

might have coleslaw myself tonight lol

I have a yummy baked low-carb cheesecake recipe - it uses almond flour and butter for the base, and then creamcheese and eggs for the filling. it's DIVINE :drool: I'll find the recipe for you sometime

I've been to 2 weddings this year and both times I took my own food because I knew the food wouldn't be suitable. It's not easy, but if you're prepared you can usually work something out.

I make my own coleslaw - and the garden centre I went to is homemade...

I've lost another pound, making that 4lb since Monday! Whilst I'm over the moon I am wondering if this is normal as Ted-H says he only managed to lose 2.5lbs a week. That would suit me better as it seems a stead pace to lose the weight. Do I need to eat a bit more do you think? I'm not peeing as much now so I don't think this is water loss any more. I'm 5ft, female, small frame and 12st 1lb as of tday. I eat 3 meals per day. Typical day menu -
Breakfast - eggs or bacon
Lunch -Tuna mayo and salad or coleslaw
Tea -Some Protein and veg

jinny dont worry often people lose a lot the first couple weeks then it slows down to a normal average of 2lb a week....you are doing fine.. if u are hungry eat more tho

lol GG i did wonder how the garden centre was home made!!!
