    wow ellie - that's an insane number of calories! I didn't realise they were so bad... I do find rowntrees are really dodgy when it comes to calories on packaging - 6 fruit pastels = 1 serving = 180 calories or something, but the pack will contain around 14, so it's not even a divisible number. They work out how many calories will sound low enough to tempt you, and work back from that!

    I made it to the gym this morning, it feels like I haven't been in ages!

    So today went like this:
    E: Gym for 45 minutes
    B: protein slice
    L: Adzuki bean stew with 2 slices of small tiger loaf
    S: 4 oatcakes
    D: pasta with sausage bolognese and 2 slices of HM garlic bread

    In case you can't tell, I bought a tiger loaf yesterday. Just a little one, but I'm now having to finish it off...

    Oh and 2 ice lollies to finish! (I really must stop buying ice lollies - I can't eat just one!)

    STS for me this week :(

    I should be happy that it's not a gain but it is very frustrating.

    Good luck everyone with your weigh-ins. I hope there are lots of lovely losses.

    hope your day gets better tessie bear, at least you lost a pound :)

    not posting a gain/loss today as the scales say last night's dinner out has put on 2 lbs...being very good today to help it go away again.

    So far today I've had 50g fruit and nut muesli, a banana, and one of those wee packets of golden syrup porridge made with semi skimmed milk...and mfp says I'm over on my sugar allowance, I find it impossible to keep within their limits so try to ignore them :o

    ha ha love the typo Knit Witch...tmi :rotfl:


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?
