I'm pretty sure the white sauce is mentioned here on MSE a few times though I couldn't locate it at the moment. I would heat skimmed milk in a pan, mix a tablespoon of corn flour with a bit of cold milk then add it to the pan and whisk until thickened. Stir in English or Dijon mustard, cheapest will be fine, and add your grated cheese, stir until melted.

thanks again ragz - i've noted it!

I'm getting the munchies - it's a habit i'm in every evening and hard to break. i've been going to bed early so i won't pig out but makes life a bit miserable!

Morning all. Well it's not often I can say this but, yesterday was a good day!! I stuck to meal plan all day with just grapes and satsumas for snacks. The half bottle of wine left over from Friday night stood untouched! I left some lovely chicken fillets out to defrost for lunch and will shortly pop them in a marinade ready for grilling. So today's menu:

B - The usual porridge with mixed berry compote (I make a small pan of it up and freeze in yogurt pots)
L - Above mentioned chicken with salad, new potatoes and peas. Strawberries, blueberries and Cadbury's Lite Choc Mousse (the Asda offer has now ended!)
D - HM Red Pepper soup, 5 crackerbreads with LF cream cheese & topped with prawns, bowl of salad. Meringue nest, mixed berries & FF fromage frais
S - Grapes & satsumas

Exercise today will be some much needed gardening, weeding, plant feeding etc. We are going over to the caravan early tomorrow until Thursday (someone else got the childminding this week!) so later I will sort out my menu for the 4 days and pack a healthy LF assortment of food! (And try not to raid DH's supplies this time!) Have a good day all - lovely start here, blue sky all the way, hope it lasts!

Hi everybody
Have not been here for a while as I am trying to catch up with all the old posts!
My diet has been roughly the same the past couple of days eg small portions of high fat foods (nuts/choc/oil/mayo all included).
I had a weight in this morn as I am going to the gfs next week and staying in a hotel and pleased to report I have lost 2.6lbs, my goal in to lose around about 3 lbs per week, so I just fell slightly short of that , but I am still pleased.
Let's hope I can keep this up for another week.
Exercise wise I have had thurs/ fri off as a break as I was feeling quite achy all over , and yesterday had a 15 walk 1 min run 1 min on the treadmill and had a two min cont run, I am building up to running cont for 15, that will be my exercise goal for the next three weeks, I alsoneed to add more exercise into my routine.
Hope everyone will be good today, and remember when you are slightly full stop eating!!

Well done, gigi123, and any other losers :T

I too can report a loss, having waved goodbye to 3.5lbs this week :T I wasn't expecting much from this week due to having to have two hospital procedures and having other stuff going on too, so had aimed to stay the same. As you can imagine, I'm pleased with this, not to mention suprised - all that tramping round hospital car parks and around corridors must have added up to more mileage than I thought! With everything that's been going on this week I thought it would be difficult to keep to the plot, but it's proved easier than I thought. It occurred to me afterwards that when you've got stuff going on, it's not the plot that complicates things, it's focussing on the plot that helps to simplify it all

The second procedure means I can't exercise for a fortnight (regular readers can probably guess how troubled I am by that prospect ) and we're off to Devon for our annual week away on Saturday, when I will probably leave the plot behind Weightloss-wise, I'll take what I can get from the next fortnight. I don't suppose our car's suspension would complain if I can lose that odd half pound before we leave, and I will be happy if I can get through the holiday having stayed the same. The likelihood of that happening in an environment of beer and all-you-can-eat roast dinners suggests that our car is going to have a heck of a lot more to complain about than half a pound on the way home

Miss_Penny_Pincher_2

thats impressive weight loss gigi and ida notion! the talk of eat all you can eat roast dinners is making me hungry!

well done on the good day travellingabuela. - is not easy with temptation (and open wine) all around! thanks for the tip off about asda x

today's menu:

Brunch: LO wild mushroom Bulgar wheat with black eyed beans and sultanas. Hummous with 2 carrots.

l: Pork chop with lots of vegetables and sweet potato mash. which is the lesser of 2 evils - gravy or stuffing?

Stir fry with quorn pieces.

S: nectarine and, although not OS, snack-a-jacks as I'm a crisps addict!

Exercise: will aim to do an hour on the Kinect.

afternoon
yesterday started well but ended with a trip to the cinema, half a bottle of wine and a bucket full of haribo's (well maybe not a bucketful) never mind, its the weekend and today has been ok so far,
today has been:
2 x toast, a few wasabi coated broadbeans (im addicted)
LO ratatouille with a bit of pork loin. a toasted bagel
dinner will be a take away chow mein but i will try to only eat half

i have made a big pan of quinoa with loads of veg and halloumi for lunches at work & i went swimming but only did 30 lengths as it was far too busy :mad:

the plan for tomorrow is:
toast x 2
out for lunch, will choose carefully
quinoa or the LO takeaway

not great but better than it could have been, at least we haven't eaten out at all.

Hi all,

Started the weekend well but got given a box of roses - once OH opened them, that was it

Then this morning a neighbour in our block bought a M&S orange and passionfruit meringue pie as a thank you to OH - um well it had to be eaten today anyway..... it was yum!

But I did lose another 1lb - no idea how after last week's carvery, coke and toffee apple pie and custard :rotfl:

Anyway, tomorrow's another day - and I will be getting more veg in aldi
