Ooh WI tonight and 3lbs off on my first week. Despite a wedding and a party at the weekend I'm really pleased. So pleased I just had pizza and wine but I'm stopping drinking now...

Mrs E : you can in fact send a text to a land line and it is read out in a robot-like voice to the recipient, either right away or as a message later if they are not in. This is also useful in persuading errant children to behave - getting a robot message in a weird voice on the phone telling them "I know you have been naughty, now be good or no birthday presents for you" works wonders

off topic I know but this is CLASSIC!! LOVE IT :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The last time i did this diet, i used to do that, it amazing how the brain works, i've just had a lose we have to celebrate brilliant. A friendly word of warning, becareful it doesn't happen every week as that how i eventually fell of the diet last time. On th plus side its good to give your self a treat and reward your hard word x:beer::T

yes I agree - the evening I weighed in was my 'night off' and although it doesn't harm once in a while it does get out of control eventually. I got to the point where I wasn't just having a bar of chocolate or a naughty meal but I was binging because everything I wanted I could only have thta night!

Its my second WI tonight and i'm dreading it. I lost 6.5 pounds last week and i just dont feel like i have lost anything this week

I have been really good this wek though

fannyannie, if you've stuck to it you will almost definately have lost something (ongoing weeks are rarely as much as your first week (unless you have been exercising like a crazy woman and/or it's TOTM!)

Don't worry!

I will update this space with new Healthy Extras, details of current offers etc!

The Healthy Extra I want to share this week is the Green Giant soup range.

a 330g pouch is one HEB and you can pick from
Farm Harvest Mushroom
Country Garden Vegetable Soup
Vine Ripened Tomato soup

they retail for about 74 pence per pouch, cook in the microwave for about 2 mins and are very yummy

Challenge of the week

Something a bit different!
This week's challenge is to purchase a fruit or vegetable you have never cooked with before. There are plenty of obscure fruits and vegetables listed in your food optimising book. Have a read of your food op book and see what you can come up! My chosen vegetable for this challenge is a dudhi !!

Green Giant soups are 2 for 99p in the 99p shop at the mo :T

We had a lot of fun with this at work too.

:hello: Poohbear.

mgsnomey - hope you managed to sort your head out. I needed the discipline of having put 3lb on to stop me from carrying on like I am on holiday.

Gammon, egg and SW chips for tea tonight with a glass of white wine. :beer:

ARGH!!! Had been doing so well but hit totm and have never had such pain with it and have wolfed down so many syns in the past couple of days its unbelievable- hopefully with exercise it wont be too much of a gain and if i focus next week and have loads of speed foods it will be under control- so annoyed at myself

I could really do with some help...
I've been doing Slimming World for a couple of months now, I 've done it previously

I'm really struggling to think of things to eat and so I end up eating toast, chocolate or crisps!!
I'm doing EE and find it great, I'm just struggling with a lack of meal ideas.
Especially lunch...

So, what do you guys eat??
I feed my family what I eat, I want to keep it pretty frugal and I don't want it to be too tricky or time consuming to make.

I like fruit and a muller light for breakfast and then bacon on a saturday

Lunches.....really struggling with this one.

Tea...another one where I could do with a bit of inspiration.

When I look at people food diaries on different sites they often have a list of foods but not a menu.

Hoping you can give me a kickstart!!
