I am dreading WI tomorrow night, I haven't been particularly good this week but not terribly bad either but will prob be lucky to sts.

I am going to have to make myself stick to the plan like glue and write everything down that I eat next week & am also gonna have to make myself better more filling lunches for work but am having a lack of imagination on that front.

I think that there's a section on the SW website specifically for packed lunches to try and combat boredom, might be worth having a look at that? I hope tomorrow isn't as bad as you fear but you've made plans to get back on track and that shows that you're still committed.

I'm a bit fed up. I stayed the same. I think I need to start taking my own advice!

Big congratulations for the great losses this week:)

I am really struggling, I just seem to be obsessed with food at the moment...all I can think about is what can I eat next, I am constantly snacking, even when I have eaten a big meal and am not even hungry!!!! I really need help......

I made SW lamb, potato and spinach curry last night (after being told about it by a member in class) and it was absolutely scrummy would defo recommend it if you like a good curry - plus new potatoes seem to be on offer just about everywhere at the min!

Really easy and quick to make too which I know is important to a lot of people. I'm pretty sure the recipe is in the SW archives on-line, but if anyone wants the recipe let me know an I'll quickly type it out.

Hope everyones having a good day!! )

hi mel, I know exactly what you mean - I get days just like that too!!:rotfl:

Sugar free jelly is my saviour whn I go lurking in the fridge - always seems to fill me up when I've got the munchies.

Give it a try and let me know what you think...... I though it was scrummy!!!!:j:j

If you dont like minced lamb I'm sure you could substitute it with a n other meat.

Hi all

I have been following this thread with interest for the past week or so.....FINALLY weighed myself & it was awful, much worse than I expected :eek: I need to lose a minimum one stone & maybe another to go with it, no wonder none of my summer clothes fit me

I'm not sure I want to go to the classes again (I have been before & have all the books etc already), I just wondered if anyone had joined the online SW from the website?? & if so do you have any thoughts on how it works? Perhaps i would be as well just using the info i have & the support on here, which seems marvellous:D.

What put me off joining was that you have to put in all your info & it still didn't tell me how much it was going to cost , not until you have to put in your card no anyway.

i did like the look of the week's sample menu (I usually do green as I like pasta/rice etc & don't eat much meat). Any advice most welcome :rotfl:
