I'm very old school when it comes to food, I like to see exactly what goes in!

Me too!

TakeItEasy - good for a sore throat is Ginger tea. I had one a few weeks ago and it worked a treat. Chop about an inch of ginger up, juice of half a lemon, honey and hot water. Let steep and drink.. you will need more than 1 cup.

I think it's the consultant thing that's putting me off, I've been to slimming world approx 7 times in the past 10 years, only twice have I had a really good consultant, the other times the class I went to was various different ones all run by the same consultant and although she appeared enthusiastic at first there was something about her I wasn't sure of and I couldn't put my finger on it,I never put my all into it for various reasons but it was her attitude that kept putting me off as well, (she's very false and is only interested when you're losing weight, otherwise she never really bothers with you)
I rejoined in January this year first meeting fine, went back the next week and my old consultant was there as she was covering the regular consultant's holidays (she does this for most of the consultants in the area as well as having 5 classes herself)
I never went back, in fact I nearly walked out when I saw her there.
the two good consultants I had don't do any classes anymore so what I think I need to do is join one either near work or one in my local area where I know she won't be covering anytime soon.
I just don't like her and she triggers off feelings of failure every time I see her

It makes all the difference doesn't it? See if you can find one where you feel you can relate to the consultant.

This group I go to now the Consultant really seems to have time for you and LISTENS! I've only been going a few weeks and she has phoned me already. The previous one I went for well over a year and I can't ever recall her ringing me, even when I sort of "slipped away" from the group she never contacted me. She was hopeless when I stalled for months on end and spent more time listening to "the moaners" in our group than doing something positive to help me. Especially as I never missed one week, stayed to Image Therapy every week and made food every single time for Taster Evenings.

Can't drink that, hubby swears by honey & lemon but I just can't stomach it. Thanks for the tip though.

mmmmmm?
do they do the offers starting saturday-ending fridays maybe?

Saying that....I know when people have been getting offers on fibre plus at morrisons up and down the country Ive gone to my nearest one (I dont go there as a rule) and the offer wasnt on at that store yet....maybe some stores do what they want with some stock?:mad:

Edit: just checked and the asda offer 2 for £3 has finished from last week (I bought mine on thus) so must start their new ones for the weekend shoppers?

Stopped of at waitrose on walk back from Mums [with son] and stocked up on fibre plus as were 2 for £2
Had my evening snack of fruit, onken & meringue about 4.30 yesterday and didn't have to get up for loo in night :T:j. Same again today and hope for another full nights sleep [fingers crossed]

Today's food diary:

2 x bananas
hifi
jp & tuna (3 syns for mayo)
milk in tea
and my "gorjeus" sausage & bean casserole. Think I'll count the 5 syns for the sossies today and then the next day it'll be "free". will that work?!

recipe if anyone mad enough to try it:

Quorn frankfurters (1 syn each but I do need to check that!) chopped
tin chopped tomatoes
2 tins of beans
1 tin drained red kidney beans
carton passatta
red, green & yella peppers, chopped chunky
onion, chopped chunky
chilli powder
mixed herbs
sachet of schwartz moussaka herb mix

Ok it was a bit chucked together, but it works suprisingly well!

Good evening all -made it here eventually

well folks I was up at 6:30 this morning -so have had a 3hr walk around the golf course with hubby (dizzy we couldn't see hubbies balls half the time either:p ), then nipped to pick up a few more bits of fruit etc
Takeiteazy -it sounds odd but if you drop dried sage into a mug and pour on boiling water, leave until cool enough to sip -then strain it and use it to gargle -it numbs your throat


anyway -Im have had a red day that looks like this :-

• 250ml semi (A)
• 1 banana
• 2 plums
• 2 clementines
• 2 satsumas
• ham
• 2 satsumas
• 1 apple
• 2 home made "OX" burgers (0.5)
• 198g potato (B) wedged in
• 1/4tsp oil (0.5)
• fried onions (0.5)
• salad
• 250ml semi (A)
• fibre plus (B)
• activia (2.5)

So that will be 2A+Bs and 4 syns -Im stuffed from dinner -so I will try and wedge the fibre plus and activia down later
I have posted the next bit on another thread but thought I may as well add it to the diary too

Well after years of dodging hubbies works functions I have totally gob smacked him by asking what they have planned this year and does he want to go? .. he nearly fell over with shock -and low and behold they are having 2 this time
I know I have lost weight but Im still aware that Im still carrying plenty of extra-but I am biting the bullet and going -well if my clothes arrive -and fit-and look presentable I am
here is some of what is coming -lets hope it fits/suits





Im getting in plenty of repetitions on the leg magic and hula hooping on the wii to give me the best chance of looking half way decent ...... I just need to make my jewellery now..might do that next week... hopefully the stuff will be here soon so I can see what length etc I want..
Well after that marathon waffle I had better get off.. Pinkies crossed for the scales tomorrow although I feel a bit bloaty at the moment
Have a lovely evening all..
