  • evening all :o

    i am in the miserable position of not being able to go to SW classes anymore 3lb from target :(
    tomorrow will be probably my last weigh in unless i book a couple of weeks holiday to give me some grace.
    but i will be lurking here to keep me motivated.
    i love reading how you are all doing.

    not seen lynz on here for a while is she ok ?????

    i am going to make some SW friendly macaroni pudding a bit , feel like a blast from the past and i cooked too much macaroni earlier :D
  • Um, would you believe me if I said the red wine faries attacked me tonight?!

    A friend was cooking dinner for us, so I took a bottle thinking between 3 of us it was only 1 large glass each.

    It ended up as 2 bottles between 2 of us. :o I feel rather giddy :rotfl:
    Nothing tastes as good as riding a horse feels

    I beleive you entirely it was the fairies. If you've been watching the x-factor you'll have needed a glass or 2 to beleive the result.
    Hope you enjoyed it - tomorrows another day!
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
  • hi all, what a busy lot you all are, haven't been on for a couple of days and it's up to 14 pages already, haven't had time to catch up so will do that tomorrow as it's very late now.
    however I'm happy to report that I've lost 1lb this week so hopefully it will continue.
    I'm off to bed now as I have to be up early in the morning nite all

    What are porridge pancakes?? they sound interesting.....:)

    It's something I stole from the OS board. You soak a 250ml of oats with 375ml of milk overnight. Then beat in 1 egg and a heaped tablespoon of flour and cook as normal pncakes. I made mine with less milk so they were like scotch pancakes rather than 'normal' thin ones. You need to weigh the oats and flour so you can work out how many HEs and syns it is so a bit of faffing about but theyre quite tasty. would be nice with berries, sliced banana and yogurt for a 'posh' brekkie!!

    Oh, i forgot to say, I added sweetner and a drop or 2 of vanilla extract to the pancake batter too.

    Morning all. It's a very cold drizzly morning here, I hope it clears up this afternoon a I'd like to go for a walk after work. Hopefully my new seat for my bike will arrive this week as the one on OH's bike that I use is far from comfortable!! Apparently us ladies are supposed to have special ones to protect our 'bits' so OH ordered me one the other day.

    I'm going for a green day today:

    Brekkie - porridge pancakes (HEA&B), banana
    Lunch - HM soup, 4 crackerbread (4), 2 laughing cow light (how many syns are these?), yogurt, mixed berries
    Tea - HM lasagne (HEA&B), sw chips, salad
    Snacks - lots of fruit.

    Have a good day everyone x

    Morning

    My scales don't appear to be working:( So I am back on it as of today, but unfortunately I have no idea of my current weight.

    My vbf is also back on plan as of today so we have agreed to txt each other constantly...we do pretty much anyway... to keep a check on what we are eating, hopefully this helps us to stay on the straight and narrow:)

    I have actually meal planned for the first time ever, while doing SW, so very proud of myself:) I have even done a shopping list of ingredients! so I am really hoping this helps me to stay on track. I would love to lose a few more lbs before christmas.

    morning morning morning

    Lisa-
    laughing cow light are 1.5 each
    and the extra light are 1 each


    We have a crisp dry day here at last :doh:
    Im half expecting hubby home early today -he hobbled off to work this morning to see the medic - I don't know how he got his boots on as his big toe is about 3 times bigger than the other ... he didn't have his sausages for brekkie -or take his blinking cornedbeef hash... so they are still in the fridge!!

    Anyhoooooo today Im going Green -and its looking like this:-
    • 28g oats (B)
    • 250ml semil (A)
    • orange
    • jacket potato
    • tinned spaghetti -don't know why I fancy THAT?
    • activia intensely (2.5)
    • plums
    • bubble n squeak cakes (3.5) -unless I decided to fry them then I will adjust the syns;)
    • luxury vegetable cheese (1.5 + A)
    • fibre plus (B)
    • clementines
    So that will be 2A+Bs and 7.5 syns accounted for.

    I have some more typing up to do today and then some more meal plans to whip up -at this rate I will have enough plans to last into the new year :D
    Right I will get off for now and make another cuppa.. have a lovely day all and keep up the great work !!

    OK -hubby has just come back in as predicted -and has been bedded down for 5 days - they need to do blood tests as they think it might be gout :eek: .... and have told him to get plenty of Vit C -guess who has only eaten about 10 pieces of fruit in the 10years I have known him :mad: ....... Although he does eat lots of veggies.. oh well we will wait n see...
    -6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.5

    MRM - whats luxury vegetable cheese?sounds delicious!
    hope your DH is soon feeling better, gout is supposed to be very painful.

    I'm off to work later but here's a rough plan for me today -

    B - 1 WW brown danish, 1 weetabix, banana, skimmed milk.

    L - jacket spud - Tuna and salad

    D - cheese and potato pie and bake beans.

    mullerlite yoghurt, lots of fruit.

    I havent added everything up but it looks roughly right to me:D
    Do what you love :happyhear
