    That's the spirit Audrey!!

    Just a really quick post to let you know (if you don't already) that Quorn pieces and mince are on offer at £1 each in Iceland. As a SW person I live on these as they're free on both days so well worth stocking up at that price!

    I got some the other day!:money:

    I just hopped on the scales before SW and it doesn't look good for a STS:rolleyes: but I can hope:D I started off so well last week but it's just gone to pot, too many extras and not enough exercise:mad: new start tomorrow though. I'll report back later with how I've done.

    Never mind Taplady - as you say it can be a lot worse!

    Yesterday was a good diet day for me - stuck completely to the plan and found that I was really full at teh end of the day. I've noticed already that I seem less bloated (my belly isn't round and hard in the morning) and I think that's something to do with not eating bread for a while and have plenty of F&V.

    The 5 bean chilli I made was ace and I have at least 2 big portions left over - it was completely free (on a green day) too apart from the tiny little bit of cheese I grated over it (counted as an A choice).

    Anyway, here's today's food....

    B - cereal (as usual with the milk drained off for the dog!)
    L - "free" noodles, orange and grapes
    D - 5 bean chilli with little bit of cheese grated over

    We're off to a pub quiz tonight but I'll drive so no naughty boozing for me!
    Will also walk the dog again - did 20 mins this morning and will do another 30-40 mins this afternoon.

    Have a good day....

    I was pretty good yesterday anyway, I weighed myself this morning and had stayed the same so I'm pleased.

    Thursday is my big exercise day, belly dancing at lunchtime:dance: and a 2 hour latin class tonight :dance:

    Toast and marmalade for brekkie, quinoa and bean salad for lunch, fruit for snacks and erm........not sure for tea but something quick and lightish, possibly pasta.

    Tappy - never mind you'll soon get that off!

    Newlywed - glad you're feeling better

    Breakfast: small bowl of musli and apple (300)

    Lunch: Campbells mushroom soup (300)

    Dinner: experimenting with hm low-fat moussaka - will let you know if it is a recipe worth repeating! Not sure on calorie content as yet.

    Hello All!

    Well the glasses did arrive. Sadly they were not what I was hoping for and I look a bit erm ... special in them! I was gutted at first but I'll put them back on ebay for the frames (might get a few quid) and I'll cut my loses, put it down to experience and buy some off the nice man who comes to work instead!

    Well yesterday was OK, I played freezer roulette and it turned out to be a very nice chicken dish (I have a lot of very similar looking brownish bags of frozen HM meals!). The only minor slip was a glass of wine from my housemate.

    Today is:

    B - Yog (1)
    L - Ham Pitta (3)
    S - Highlights hot choc (0.5)
    D - Either another game of freezer roullette or pasta maybe. We'll see!
    S - Another G & T (damn those limes!)

    I haven't post in a very long time. However I have remained at a stable weight... even if that is SO HEAVY.
    However in 14 months I have lost 14lb and kept it off, so there is progress even if very slow.
