Quick note ref wraps - I have tried @ldi plain flour tortillas wraps are 64g each and 187 calories each, and Discovery Plain flour tortillas wraps are 40g each and 118 calories each.

Apart from w/watchers does anyone know of any with lower cals ?

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I thought of one cut in half as I've seen them on sale in sandwich bars (not bought one, too expensive!) and I could use different fillings in each half. I seldom eat bread so don't think I could manage two

Yes please to the recipe SSM
SYA thanks, I'll have to look in @ldi, it's a bit far away (and L1dl even further) but I'll plan a shop there in the next couple of weeks

Link here gives recipes for wraps and chapattis. DS keeps asking for wraps, I may actually get around to making some this evening, they are so cheap and easy and I have a 10kg sack of flour downstairs that I have been using to prop the door open for the last few months! (Low carb = a lot less flour being used!)

looks like i am not the only one a bit awol this week
keep telling myself I will get " back in the groove " am certainly better when at work and my DD is not helping as she keeps on baking and its sooooo nice ( she goes back to uni in 2 weeks ) but NOT wishing her away lol I just need more self control

food intake needless to say has been pants and not write downable
so note to myself to start eating Proper food again and stop grazing on rubbish :mad:

Not a bad day today - haven't had anything naughty (yet) and I'm off on an organised walk in about an hour taking the dog with me. I think it will only be for about 90 mins or so (before it gets dark) but better than nothing and I'm getting out and about, meeting people and getting the dog walked - all for the princely sum of £1;)
Does anyone else think its gone cold all of a sudden? Felt quite chilly all day - perhaps there's not as much lard on me these days to keep me warm:p

Had a sneaky weigh this morning and it looked promising but will do it again in the morning and report in an official figure for the week (whatever it is).
Good luck to everyone - I think quite a few of us are struggling - a combination of a change in the weather, kids going back to school or going back to work, and the darker evenings. Roll on summer!

Evening All

I didn't get chance to post yesterday as my daughter was home for a flying visit, which was lovely. I'm just waiting for a text to say she's got back safely and I can relax. I've been so busy I haven't had chance to snack and have lost the 3lb that piled on over the weekend. Hurray.

B: Raspberries with Greek yoghurt
L: Scrambled egg on toast. Strawberries and cream.
Half a grilled aubergine with cheese and red onion marmalade, served with salad. HM chocolate mousse.

Exercise: 1 hour Pilates. Various walks adding up to about 2.5 miles I should think. Running around being a ball boy whilst DD and DS played tennis.

I use these for wraps all the time and have to say i find shop wraps very thick and 'rubbery'

Just back from the new meetup group walk and had a lovely time - although we did finish it off in the dark.
Met some great new people - men and women - and chatted the whole way round. The dog is a real icebreaker so glad he came with me.
Will definitely go with that group again.

Celebrating my new venture with a bag of crisps - counted in the cal allowance of course!:)

I struggled tonight with my 3rd run of week 7 dont know why but i shall repeat it on sunday when i next have a day off, before i start week 8 maybe the gales blowing in my face were increasing resistance
