Hi every 1

Well today is going really well, ive had my brekkie and lunch and ive just been to asda and for once i didnt buy any ready meals, just lots of stuff i can cook and make my self which i know are free or not many synns, i know its only day two but im still feeling positive.
I went thru the recipe boards last night and ive jotted a few down, the tortillas really caught my eye and the mediteranian pasta bake too as i know my 2 boys would eat that also.

I'm going to make more effort to post here!

I invested in a proper set of weighing scales (rather then weighing myself on that machine in the gym for 20p) and I lost 5lbs last week (target was 3lbs). My target this week is 2lbs and I will weigh myself every Sunday!

I've been exercising lots - Body pump twice a week and they gym for a cardio workout twice a week - and have doubled my intake of fruit every day. Have had no booze since 5th January adn I feel great!

Hi :hello:

I agree that to succeed we need to be positive and make life changes, we can't go through all the hard effort to lose weight only to immediately revert to our old ways and pile it all back on again which is my experience(s). So I'm determined like some of you not think of it as a diet but a healthier way of living.

I haven't had any alcohol since starting this diet (:doh:) sorry new healthy lifestyle and feel healthier and wealthier, but it is only my second week with a long way still to go

I finally plucked up the courage to measure myself and :eek: :eek: What I'd give for an elastic tapemeasure but I've duly entered them truthfully into my diary, so now I just have to make sure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

As mentioned yesterdayI cooked the Pork and Red Pepper Goulash shown in this months SW mag. As I cooked it in the slow cooker I had to take a couple of ladles of liquid out and reduce it in a saucepan and then return it to the dish, no doubt if it had been done as stated this wouldn't have been necessary but it tasted gorgeous and I can thoroughly recommend, do give it a go if you can.

Good luck to all for the weekend it's nice to know that help is just a laptop away.

Karren Raw potato is 21 cals per ounce and baked weight is 38 cals per ounce according to my little book and baked beans in sauce 23 cals per ounce. The tin will give you a better guide.

It is american though so some of the foods are called different things. If anyone knows of anything similar in a UK version, let me know.
