Morning folks!

Is anyone else struggling? I'm fine during the day but at night time, I just want to stuff my face - with anything!

I resisted last night, and I feel fine this morning, but I just can't stop thinking about food food food, and I never go to my bed early otherwise I'm up FAR too early the next day.

Poo!

When food enters my head and it is not the set times like breakfast lunch dinner and the two snacks I eat sugar free jelly or cucumber slices or pepper slices or grilled tomatoes all free 0 points on WW, carrot sticks, brush teeth, sugar free mentos, I just look at the WW book and whatever is free I munch on until it is dinner time:D salt and vinegar rice cakes not free but 41 cals each , lovely for the sweeter side an apple or a banana, sugar free angel delight in chocolate flavour or strawberry WW yoghurts 1/2 point each the toffee one is lovely:D snack a jacks 80 odd cals per bag, the new limbos in smokey bacon are only 80/90 cals per back, baked ones not fried saves on the cals

WW ready meals do the pasta ones but the portions are already sorted for you and the points and the cals and the sat fat sugars etc, no thinking dieting bliss, have one of those with heaps of veg lovely

No I asked that apparently you can if you are income support, dole, beniefits and I am not on any of them even though I guess I am entitled out of work and can claim disability but never have done because don't think I should, annoying when it comes to help with glasses and annoying when I wanted to sign up for all the courses and have to pay loads so much so I ended up not doing them, just couldn't afford it:rolleyes:

Victory - off topic but are you paying your NI contributions for your penion if you are not on job seekers allowance ?- I say this becasue my OH has been caught out by this. If you have been paying NI for last 2 full tax years(i.e april 06 - april 08 )you are entitled to jsa in your own right becasue you have paid into the system, just as you would an insurance policy. Then they will top up your NI so you will get your full pension at 65.
You probably wouldn't get any benefits for disabilty, dispite your conditions, knowing the system, but don't miss out on what you have paid in for. If something happens to your OH, before you reach pension age, you'll be in dire circs with a reduced pension.

Sary - I would actually buy a breadmaker (I hang around the OS forum, thanks to them I have a slow cooker!) but the bread I've tasted from OH's mum (breadmaker made) was like a rock! Would of cost me more in dental treatment than buying shop bought!

No offense to your OH's Mum but she can't make breadmaker bread, i've had mine going on for 2 years and make perfect soft bread everytime and thats on the fastbake setting. I always use hovis bread flour, i've only had one disaster and that was chocolate bread, 2nd time around was great though. Mine is the Morphy Richards Fastbake, only £50 when i bought it, its now £70 Wouldn't be without one now, the reason i bought it was bread going mouldy too quick, now its eaten too quick

To be fair to BM's MIL, some breadmakers are pants.

Mine is a Panasonic and has never failed me - I did once create a brick but that was my fault for not using the correct flour.

The best flour for white bread is Lidl's bread flour - it's about 48p per 1.5kg.

Like nmm says, it doesn't last long enough to go off.

Haha no offense, she has some ancient contraption, I'm sure it tastes ok when it's first taken out but by the time she took it to mine it was like a rock! Still used it up though, just toasted it in the grill

I will have a look into one, I have heard panasonic's are really good!

Well have just had the WW chocolate whip.
It was truely disgusting~yuk.

nmm

Beanie, maybe the chocolate whip is designed to be yuk Great marketing strategy, lose weight because you wont want to eat me :rotfl:

I've only had the one BM so i can't comment on the panasonic but it does get rave reviews. I tried tesco bread flour and it just wasn't the same as hovis. Also for some reason BM bread toast's better than shop bought dunno why but it does.

Victory try specsavers for your glasses or some of these online places they seem cheap. I got some reaction lenses in mine so they get quite expensive too but great for when its sunny.

HHA @ 7pm all welcome.

Victory- hugs, yes glasses very expensive, I paid £250 for my last pair!

Several weeks ago I replied to the advert for pounds for pounds (get paid to loose weight- by government) well got reply from them today, apparently they had so many replies that they have rejected me. But I can still take part if I pay them! Yet another company trying to make money out of the desperate over weight.:eek:

Had not bad day, weigh-in tomorrow.

nmm

Spicey, What a cheek!! if you pay them :mad: pay them for what exactly Stealth tax, typical government scheme.

Tried out the super pump routine tonight, basically super sculpt plus 10 mins upper body, not much harder than the basic one. Will try super legs in a couple of days.

Does anyone else do the Super Body DVD? I find it really straight forward to learn and is great fun to do.

HHA Result: 50 mins Super Pump

Because I had been living in Spain with my mum and drifted in and out of work along the way eventually the governement wrote to me and said if I made a contribution of £1,650(still got the letter on file) then I would be up to date or could pay bit by bit, neither at the time was a financial option but spoke much later to my sis who said that was a crazy thing to do and she has always kept hers up whatever life threw at her because of her pension etc like you say so no, have not got enough NI, yes been told by MIL who works for the DSS and her sons cousins they all work in the same departments said I can claim incapacity benefit because of the lack of ability to work and commit to a day to day hour by hour work, comes to £85 or something but never looked into the paperwork etc just was told
