Had scrambled egg for breakfast and just about to get changed and take DD to Leeds to get school shoes!!!

Will go to Nando's for late lunch and have chicken and ratatouille.

See you later.

Do the shakes taste yummy or are they just ok ?

The shakes are OK. I got a chocolate flavour one and I was expecting it to taste much worse than it did so quite a nice surprise that it goes down so easily! I don't think it tastes much different to a Nesquick milkshake.

SAZBO, im sure santa will help you out early this year ,lol.

I just weighed myself (on day 5 ) and the scales say Ive lost 2lb :j .
Im shocked cos I havent been able to loose weight on these pills.
I feel excited and just hope it continues.

Tonight I am having sheppards pie , but replacing the mash with cauliflower mash. Than Im thinking about making a
meringue , with ceam and berries :A .

Everyday I keep thinking how long can i keep this up - then another good recipe comes along :rotfl: .

Mirry - which diet are you doing? Are you doing a 2 week induction?

Dessicated coconut is out as it's sweetened, I'm afraid

Meringue without sugar doesn't really work - I've tried it with Splenda and they just disintegrated

Thanks tinks for the comment about the meringue and splenda cos I was considering trying it cos hubby has a dreadful sweet tooth and is getting real withdrawal symptoms

I can recommend the profiteroles

or cheesecakes (either baked or not)

you could always buy a packet of meringue nests for OH and just have the berries and cream yourself

Hubbys on the diet too so although he'd like the meringues he cant have them:o

Philly is on 1/2 price special in Morrisons this week so might just get some and make a cheesecake

I keep meaning to try the oopsies but end up forgetting:rolleyes: I saw the sweetened version with cream and choccy and was very very tempted

Hubby really needs to curb that sweet tooth - it's the whole point of the diet!

mirry

so theres a sweet oooopsie to make :eek: ,,,, please tell me more.

Also how do we make the cheesecake ? do we put slenda with the cream cheese ? what do we put on the base ?

Don't go mad on these though - they can stall weightloss
