This may have been posted on already but I've only just watched all of the Hairy Dieters programme and feel inspired although TBH this is because they had their LBM rather than me. I know I joined this challenge before Christmas and flunked out but prior to that I lost 1½ stone for our cruise in August. I need to get back to this and the meals the HD were making were the same as what MrM makes at home so it's made me feel better knowing I can get back to that. So last night I sat and worked out a meal plan and have shopping list ready. Am off to ASDA soon. Need some new kitchen scales as well.

My daughter has announced that she wants to be vegetarian. Any inspired dishes that I can make for her?

We've had a Vegetarian week here and I am loving the River Cottage Veg Everyday cookbook. Tried the Onion and Beetroot Tarte Tatin's which are yummy, veg ratatouille with pasta etc etc. Made my own veggie enchiladas the other night (full of pulses) which went down very well. Oh we had stuffed peppers with some veggie filled rice this week as well. There are lots of options and my fussy OH really liked everything I came up with.

Can't wait to start today and shift some of this extra weight, my aim is to eat sensibly and not deny myself anything but in moderation??? Not sure how this will work put, but tired of buying low cal/fat food, so I am going to eat sensibly, here goes.....

So far for Breakfast I have had scrambled egg, 3 slices of ham and a satsuma.

Good luck everyone x

I've been good for the past week, so I'm allowing myself a free day today. I'm still going to track, and I'll try to lessen the damage by exercising more today, but I'm not going to allow myself to stress over it. I'll be back to behaving tomorrow though.

jovi20 thanks for the reminder about snacking on low fat jellies I had forgotten that one.

Good luck to everyone this week

I also saw the hairy bikers programme last night - has anyone tried their cookbook? (the dieting one, obviously )
I don't have much patience for following recipes, especially ones that need a lot of ingredients, but some extra inspiration might be helpful.

I've got the recipe book, and of the recipes I've tried, they are all wonderful.

The leek lasagne is really good, along with the baked peppers, Italian meatballs and cajun spiced chicken with potato wedges. I really want to try their paprika chicken, sweet and sour chicken and jambalaya.

Thanks Mrs T_M, think I might drop hints for my birthday!

With regards to water, I don't like it straight from the tap, but I put it in bottles and put them in the fridge overnight and it tastes good!
