I notice you;ve all been talking about the pasta n sauce as a free food, it's not something i usually buy but if it's free...

Do you just mix it with water? Does it taste oK?

Been feeling down since WI on Tue. im not sure why, but ive just not felt like following the plan this week. I was bad during the day on Tue, Wed I ate out for lunch then had a kebab at night :eek:, today ive eaten porridge, 2 slices of bread, 3 oatcakes loads of cheese and sweet chilli sauce, about 5 chocolate ecairs, 2 gerlain sea shell chocs . im about to have a very SW salmon salad but i plan on drinking red wine. I dont think ill stop at 1 or 2 glasses the way i feel. Im heading to Dundee to see my bf so will probably have more wine. I plan on making a SW stew in my new slow cooker to take with me for lunches.
I really dont know whats happened this week. I even bought a new pair of jeans on Monday a size 12!!. its as if im scared to get to target IYKWIM. I feel really carp now.

Sorry to hear you are feeling down - but just reading about how far you have come so far is fantastic! You know that maybe this week is not the best for you SW, but in the scheme of things 1 week is not going to ruin all that you have achieved up till now.

And yet you are still thinking SW so you haven't lost the whole plot yet!!;)

For me to read how you and all the others are coping (ups and downs) is a great help - so thanks for that.

I lost today - but tbh I have gone slightly off the rails and had a little non- SW friendly fud (food). But I am now back on track and really positive that I will get to target at some stage.

Enjoy your wine etc and then when you are ready, you will get there.

Take care and have a good evening!

Some of the pasta in sauces are free, but not all so check first - the one i like is chicken and mushroom and that one is free. Its OK with just water, nothing fantastic, but I always use some of my milk allowance in it. You can syn a bit of butter if you want it to be nice. But its free and filling with just water (not particularly wonderful but tolerable).

You don't put milk in the tomato ones

I'm just doing two packets of the Crosse n Blackwell Carbonara Pasta n Sauce for dinner - it smells and tastes divine!!

I would DIE to get into size 12 jeans! :T At my lowest the first time I did SW I nearly got into a 12, but not quite - then I went and put on 5.5stone :mad: :mad:

I havent been a size 12 since I was 19 (i think) im 32 now. I was a size 18 in March when I started SW. Its been a long slog to get to a 12, but I think what nano said is right, im not in the mind set as a slimmer person. , I still feel a size 18 , sometimes I catch my reflection in a shop window and go whoa, is that me?
Its good to know SW works, and we'll all get there eventually.
I think ill have a word with my consultant. I think ill pretend this week never happened, try not to go to mental and start afresh on Tue.

I have a problem with Pasta and Sauce in that some bits of the pasta remain hard and I really don't like that - I cook it as per instructions - anyone else find this?

I am off to WI tonight - have been doing SW since Sept and lurk rather than post here but always find some good tips and motivation - and it is good for a laugh too! Not sure how I have done this week - so far have lost 17lbs so another one would be good. Let you know.

no don't get that at all - do you stir it twice as packet says ? Hob or microwave ? I always microwave - I did have this once but it's coz my microwave broke :o
