  • Hi Hypno I'd be interested to know how much pasta or rice is considered a 'medium portion' ?

    A small portion of pasta is 75g cooked or 20g dried (about three spirals!) = 1 point.

    A medium portion is 150g cooked or 40g dried = 2 points

    Yes it's really scarey when you start weighing stuff. Did 2 days on nutracheck when I thought I had been really good and it was a big shock I can tell you.

    All this dieting malarky is making me take the easy option! :T


    Alcohol, it takes the hunger away. Empty calories yes, but then you put the music channels on and dance them off! :rotfl:

    Bad idea of the day out of the way! Or even week... possibly month...

    The docklands sunshine is amazing! Clothes dry without being in the dryer! :eek: I can hear my electricity bill plummeting as we speak!

    What has everyone bet on the horses? Not that I have, but you know... for posterity sake...

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:

    I've got £1 each way on Snowy Morning, Don't push it, and Arbor Supreme.

    If any one of them comes in the top 4, then I will come out with a profit.

    But of course, there are 37 other horses in the race, so I'm not exactly expecting great things :o

    What a fun way to make £7.20! I'm only watching it because OH is out, as an animal lover, he hates it and can't watch incase horses get hurt :(

    But in memory of my dear departed Grandad, I love it.
