  • Evening all, (what's left of it!) Didn't weigh in tonight - I was out all afternoon and had no time to change to 'weigh in clothes' so I went in my jeans which weigh 1.1/2lb. I help with weigh in so wouldn't let my consultant down and being at target means I didn't have to weigh. I think I have maintained though by the looks of my scales which are usually same as hers.

    Well done to all the losers and hugs for those who need it. Keep up the good work!!! x

    ooohhh were we seperated at birth ???? I too had a "bit" of an obsession with just about any form of bread product -especially home made ... slathered with organic butter mmmmm ... I went cold turkey and 23 weeks in Im still off them all ;).... and not bothered by them at all....
    The only choc I get is the ocassional fibre plus bar...but "proper" choc bars are a thing of the past...and the strange thing is that I can't go down the choc aisle in the supermarket as the smell makes me feel sick :j
    Im another one who could live on porridge... I slice a banana -put half in the bottom of the dish -tip my porridge on-then put the rest of the nana on and some defrosted berries mmmmmm
    ~Daisy~ :rotfl:my hands obviously work quicker than my brain... but my GIANT pickled slug was lovely :D
    Skint-catt - I know what you are on about ;) -I remember reading that people who have a diet higher in dairy products lose more weight..... I eat a lot of dairy .....I love it :p

    It's amazed me how quickly I'm getting over my bread days! I use to get through several packs of crumpets a week on my own! Had one with yeast extract on the other day and was not too impressed. I've not had any choc/crisps/cake since I started 2 weeks ago - not really missed those foods. I've gone off my soya cheese too.

    Not eaten dairy since I went vegan 5 years ago - was intollerant to dairy and eggs as a veggie so they were easy enough to give up.

    Banana on porridge - top idea that and will be breakfast tomorrow:)
    Magic porridge is simply your HEB allowance of Oats (28g) mixed with a pot of fat free yogurt. Make it the night before, then the oats swell up as they absorb the yogurt by morning. You can add chopped fruit etc too.

    I eat it cold but you can warm it slightly in the microwave but be careful as sometimes yogurt can go funny in microwave!

    It saves me using my HEA allowance on milk, and means I can have cheese instead :D

    It's very filling and yummy.

    Sounds good - I use to like oats soaked in juice with dried fruits left overnight - wrong mix I know now but I think Il try oats and yoghurt but will have to have my soya yoghurt so 2 syns for that (oh for fat/sugar free soya yoghurts!)

  • :grouphug:Aww, for all you meanies.

    I am sorry on behalf of all the moaners or questioners or weak willed among us. The thing I like about this thread is that you are welcome to come along and have a bit of a moan or feel free to ask silly questions or seek support when things go wrong. It is a friendly place and hopefully a safe spot for those who do not have the same level of support away from MSE. We never know the battles people are facing outside here and sometimes that extra little bit of care and compassion from a perfect stranger can help someone keep going or be encouraged to get back up and on the wagon. I appreciate you guys and am sorry if I have been annoying, hopefully my blip is over, I am planning on having a week of being 100% on plan, my food diary is ready in my handbag to fill in. In 10 days I go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo for 2 weeks to help out with a charity, I get the impression that when I am there I wont give two hoots about whether my muffin top shows in my trousers, hopefully will give me some perspective!

    So, thanks again for the support, it is appreciated!:T:T:T
    God is good, all the time

I confess I sometimes find myself growing impatient with people who (a) don't take the advice offered, (b) can't be bothered to look back two pages but would rather someone else look back for them, (c) want others to invent all their meals for them. Sorry for mini rant, but we are nearly all working and don't have a lot of free time, and I sometimes feel if you are pc-literate enough to find this thread and post on it you are pc-literate enough to use the search box at the top of the page or google something. I realise I'm probably the only meanie on here, but we are all MSE-ers and time is money, definitely one's spare time is! Sorry, rant over, and not aimed at any particular person.:cool:

    Morning all,

    I know I waste peoples time, but they are more than welcome to waste mine- if Ive got it you can have it! :D

    Back on EE today, and not sure how I'll fare as Im going to be out most of the day.

    Skimmed milk for HEA as ever

    Breakfast is mango, pineapple and a yog
    Lunch will be JP and salad, beans and more fruit and yog, I think. failing that- ie if i cant get this, then theres a chinese cafe so will get a 5 syn meal from there- at least you know where you are with a chinese- a lot less syn ful than a bought sandwich :eek:
    Dinner is beef stew with carrots, peas,potatoes, mushrooms, about 10 onions :) and thickened with instant mash.
    If I manage to survive the day with no syns Ill have 2 mini yorkies with this and i need to up the SF I think so might try adn buy some green beans or something to go with it, or I might roast off ( 1 syn oil) a couple of beetroots to up the SF. slow cooker is about to go on- feeling v organised :) this morning!

    If anyone doesnt know this- MIDWEEK MINIS yorkshire puds Aunt bessie are 1 syn each. I fully expect them to taste like cardboard adn not like OHs HM yorkies made with strong bread flour and loads of oil :eek: i got these in asda, bag of them for £1.

    Best of luck with the weigh in tonight Dizzy! Out of interest will you have to shop for some smaller "sun clothes" or do you have enough for mexico? Some great bargains on ebay at the moment :D especially summer stuff :j Im becoming increasingly jealous ( did I mention :whistle:) as the weather deteriorates here - lashing it down here in the capital again- still!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    LOL Lynz Ive got a suitcase with some holiday clothes that I grew out of :eek: :o.....(hangs head in shame.) so Im hoping that If I carry on at around 1.5 - 2lb a week they will be fine......plus Ive been picking up some bits here and there pre-empting my size. If all else fails Il do some last minute shopping on line......But as long as the fairies stay !!!!!!red off i'l be okay :rotfl:

    The yorkies sound good.....might grab some of those for me when OH is wanting Dumplings in his stew and casserole :T x

    Food fairies got me yesterday again (what is it with me and Wednesdays?!) - didn't eat anything too bad - just had about 5 HEb's I shoudn't have :o

    Seeing as I really had to force myself to eat my pasta n sauce yesterday I haven't made myself any lunch - could be a crap idea - I'll probably be starving today!

    Good day all

    C xx
