Sorry I didn't come on yesterday and tell you news.
It's not a bun in the oven. It's just that I lost SIX POUNDS last week.
I've now lost 2 1/2 stones in total. Although 16lb was pre Atkins diet.

Oh but I've eaten a whole tub of single cream tonite......I missed my Saz.

Good luck to you all

How did the dinner go, Sazzy?

Wow, 6lb is fantastic, Gillette. You must feel gooooood! :T

Lesley, just to echo what the others have said about your scales - I'm sure you've lost the weight. It's just a case of going from 12st to 11st, rather than 11st to 10st, if you see what I mean.

Yesterday I had:

B: sausages and mustard
L: roast chicken salad
roast chicken (had a pack of two legs in fridge!), spinach with cream, butter and Parmesan, cauliflower mash, cabbage
S: small lump each of Cornish Cruncher and Brebirousse Argent (if there's a heaven, these two cheeses will be there)

Morning everyone :hello: *Saz squints at screen and reaches for the neurofen* Urgh... my head!:o Hi HC :hello: Well I better 'fess up straight away to having an emergency pre-arrival vodka and slim last night, and then a glass of champagne and two glasses of dry white during dinner:o:o But, the evening went off ok in the end. My boss made a nice speech about me - he left out most of the really incriminating stuff lol:D And we only had to pose for a photo when we received our awards... so although I was a bag of nerves, it wasn't too bad.

I tried to be fairly good with the food. Starter was smoked salmon with a sour cream and dill sauce I think. Main course was lamb, but I didn't eat the dauphinoise potatoes, peas or carrots that came with it. I had a little taste of the thin layer of plums on top of the plum tarte tatin that was dessert, but left all the pastry. By that stage I was actually quite full, but I made room for a nibble of the cheese that came round! HC I think my heaven would be entirely made from cheese!:D

It was nearly half midnight when my taxi arrived home, so I'm feeling rather tired this morning, as well as delicate. Lol I can't hack alcohol anymore - must be old age!:o:D

And my lovely gilly was waiting up for me. He's so good - he made my lunch again for today, which I think is salad, h/m coleslaw with some gammon and corned beef. Dinner tonight will be pork chops and leeks.

We ordered a coffee grinder at the end of last week so I'm hoping it will arrive soon, then I can get on with making a big batch of flax bread. I wondered if shykins or anyone else has had any success with scaling-up the recipe for the instant flax bread, to make a larger quantity at a time? Or does it only work in small quantities? Not a problem if that's the case, after all it takes no time to make, but just wondered...

Right, I better get on. Have a good day everyone and wrap up warm if you go out:)

Much love,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxxxx

Right, day 2 of induction.

Breakfast: 3 egg cheese omelette and a mug of fruit tea, supplements
Snack: couple of oopsies with butter and marmite
Lunch: last piece of leek quiche with lettuce and cucumber
Snack: couple of small cheeses
Dinner: tuna steak with stir fry, coffee with cream

Am drinking lots of fruit tea in place of water - it's so cold I prefer the warming drinks to plain water, but still trying to drink as much water as I can.

saz so glad it wasnt as bad as u thought it was going to be and it sounds like u did ok with the food... oops hope i wasnt talkin too loud hehe

never scaled up the instant bread sorry but i would think it would work with double the quantity as long as u used a similar depth container... iusually make it then freeze it cos i dont use that much

ok confession time took ds to the free (very MSE) ice rink this morning so i said ok lets treat ourselves to a brunch, got this lovely egg, bacon and sausage at the cafe.. they gave us 2 slices of toast too so i said ok will just have a nibble OMGGG british toast at its best i ate the whole slice ... so much for induction!! i am annoyed with myself i really am cos i rarely ever eat bread grrrr me!!!

go along with cheese is heaven brigade lol. thats the one reason i could never stick with SW and i can with atkins is the ability to have cheese!!

Oo, Daisy, that's pretty bad... I'm not sure the God of Weightloss will be smiling on you today

Tinkers, have you tried drinking hot water? I love warming my hands on it in this weather, and sipping it throughout the day. Mind you, I've never been keen on drinking things cold...
