sparrer, I seem to be following in your footsteps re: spicy things.

Dinner fajitas: prepped the mixture for the quorn with the fajita spice and the spicy cheese and put it in the fridge.
My God....when I microwaved it and started eating it, I was fine...but the aftertaste....I think I hurt something in my throat! :rotfl:

So it had to be thrown out, I couldnt bear to eat anymore and DM doesnt touch spicy food at all. Thank goodness I didnt make much (just enough for 2 fajitas).
So had the rest of my dinner as grated cheese salad wraps instead.

Whew....... *melts*

Hi everyone

Sorry had no internet this weekend but did wi on saturday i STS booooooo but to be fair i did have afew slip ups and a meal out last week

Its been red hot here too over the weekend unfortunatly the heat aint stopped me eating

This weekend has involved chocolate, wine, curry, beer, a sausage sandwich etc etc

There a gym near my work which also has a pool and membership is £20 a month which i think is quite good so am going to phone them this week and ask to go down to have a look around

Well done to all the losers

Fewww, I have been sooooo hot today, my own fault though as oven on AGAIN! Dd requested an apple pie which I'd agreed to earlier in the week, and a friend at work had asked me to make a beetroot chocolate cake, also spicy chicken for dinner in the oven, but thats it the oven will not go on for the rest of the week, its too hot!

B/l bacon sandwich, scrambled eggs, beans.
D. Spicy ginger chicken, rice, green beans, salad, riata
P. apple pie and ice cream mmmmmm

Luckly beetroot/choc cake will (mostly) be going to work tomorrow and out of temptations reach:rotfl:

P.s do you think the cake needs to go in the fridge in this heat as it contains fresh, cooked beetroot? My goodness that cake created so much washing up, never have I used so many bowls fir one cake:eek:

MrsCD

Sparrer - the apple and elderflower cordial is MrA's extra special one, and it's gorgeous!

Ccp - have you tried organic apricots? They're just like toffees

SIRENS- I would personally put the beetroot cake in the fridge in this hot weather, as it's a moist cake which will grow spores quickly in the heat.

Usual Sunday food - we're so predictable

Berry cereal
Sunday dinner
Cheese sandwich
Teacake, a few crisps, cupcake (tiny homemade one) 2 or 3 small cubes cheese

Enjoyed seeing Andy Murray win at Wimbledon :T

Hi - do you mind if I join in? I did post on this thread about three years ago but got sidetracked and here I am three years later still struggling to lose about 8 stone! To be fair to myself I was bigger then I am now and have managed to get about 5 stone off just by eating less, but I just can't seem to lose any more and I can feel my old ways creeping in again.

I don't get on with WW or SW at all and I do like to cook from scratch and live as OS as possible.

I am fast approaching 50 and have two girls at home with me, both of whom could stand to lose some weight, so I am planning on them eating the same stuff as me ( they are takeaway junkies).

I am trying to eat as much unprocessed food as possible, but it is difficult to cut out bread (which I love) and carbs in general - I make cupcakes as a little sideline and that is really hard - I always end up tasting stuff and then eating some of the cakes!!

So I have decided that I will start tomorrow. I have made a meal plan for the week which is healthy - it's just sticking to it!!

Can I ask what the under 700 cals list is?
I am looking forward to reading through the thread!

Good to see you recovering spendaholic!!

Hi RS, welcome back

The under 700 cal menu is part of the menu at Greene King pub/restaurants, there are about 6 or 7 meals which are very filling for a main meal. hth

Oh that's good to know - there is a Greene King pub at the end of my road!

Have made a start this morning and had a small bowl of Aldi branflakes, which were surprisingly okay with a few raisins thrown in! I am just off to meet a friend for coffee, but will resist having anything to eat!

Lunch today is leftover beef salad, and dinner is roast chicken, new potatoes and vegetables. I don't have any sweet stuff or "afters" type stuff in at all so that should help as there is only fruit if we want anything!

hope you all have a good day!

CCP

Morning all, and particularly RS! :hello:

My plan for today:

B - three rye crispbreads with a small quantity (1tsp per slice) of peanut butter and a sliced banana
L - four falafel, mixed salad, peach, LF apricot yoghurt (I will eat this flippin' yoghurt eventually! )
D - aubergine gratin (probably made with - horror of OS horrors - a jar of RM sauce, as I don't feel like chopping and simmering my own in this heat); LO tzatziki; slice or two of HM bread (no butter) to mop up the sauce

MrsCD - no, I haven't tried the apricots: thanks for the tip, I'll look those out.
