Crisps butties. :eek: I thought I had got over the addiction but one mention and I'm getting fidgety for them again. My all time favourite snack. :drool:

Thank you theatregirl for stepping in and doing the spreadsheets etc - I am now all fired up from a VERY hot 10 days in Wales and back to weight shifting (fairly sure I put on whilst away as it was too hot to eat :eek:)

Welcome back KW, pleased you had a good hollibugs and are raring to go
TG glad you liked Cats, I saw it back in the 80's and loved it. Thank you very much for holding the fort for KW - KW TG did a grand job :T
ellie we were terribly posh and had a single line. My first job was as a 'call girl' and we were always getting complaints from subscribers on shared lines about the other party talking too long, as if it was our fault
cheerfulness the village is still as beautiful and quaint as ever, had a little look round a china shop but the bank wasn't open to arrange a mortgage so had to leave empty handed
(((Hugs))) RS, I hope your DD's car is found safe and sound. If it's of any help, under the Marriage, Relationship and Families forum is a sub-heading Deaths, Funerals and Probate which is full of good advice.
CCP ginger curd sounds delish, will look out for some (no good at making preserves, they either turn out like water, or solid!)

Hoping to lose a bit this week to be comfortable in the dress I want to wear on Sat evening, so going to try and resist wrong foods
B - carrot and celery batons
D - pasta and meatballs from the Under 700 cal menu, 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
T - 3 crackerbread with scrapings of vegemite, peanut butter and marmalade
S - banana
E - 3x10 mins

Sweet dreams

Thanks CP and also TG for the receipe, now I notice it has lemon and ginger so surely must count as one of my 5 a day:p

Have never made a curd before, I remember my Nan used to make orange when I was very small, but I never learnt, but am definately going to try the ginger one as it sounds lovely.

I have a new stratagy, was scrolling through my camera for some pics of ds to print and send off as thank-yous for his birthday gift when I cam across a terrible photo that he took of me, it is looking up (which is never good) and, well it shocked me. So I will get it developed and then delete it and keep it in my purse and look at it (discreetly) when feeling naughty. Just hope I never loose my purse:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

^^^ this is a theory I just don't understand properly...Knit Witch, have you more information or experience of how it works?

I'm sort of 50/50 on whether I believe that not eating enough halts weight loss -
on the one hand, this weekend I haven't eaten much (certainly not in volume) and yet I'm a pound up this morning :mad:
On the other hand, when my friend was going through a very rough time, she pretty much stopped eating properly, and she lost stones in weight...her body didn't say "you're not eating enough, I'm going to stop you losing any more". The starving mothers and children in Africa aren't fat...which is why I wonder if this theory is something the western world has invented.
And yet...we are learning a lot more about how the body works...

I just don't know, and I'm scared to try it...if I eat MORE, I'm convinced that I'll put weight on, that's what's always happened in the past!

Morning all.

Today for me:

B - reduced-calorie cluster cereal with FF mango and vanilla yoghurt
L - mixed salad with a drizzle of reduced calorie caesar dressing; 5 cheese and onion twists (like square cheese straws); portion of cherries
D - jambalaya, adapted from the recipe in the Hairy Dieters book

Have a good day, all, and stay cool! :cool:

RC - a kindred soul! I discovered them as a bored 13 yr old and the rest is history. (worth the calories, though, don't you think. )

:rotfl:Just as well. Things haven't changed that much then - they always were pricey but I loved looking and dreaming.

DH away again working this week so I have the freedom to just cook for DS and myself. That makes things simpler.

Today -

Iced coffee (I'm addicted)

2x chipolata sausages, egg, 1 rasher bacon, beans

Apples

Thai style chicken cakes,
Green salad, gherkins, toms, cue, s onions,
Roast potatoes

(may have a slice of seed cake if I bake it today)

Must get busy with making a food inventory in readiness for Augusts Grocery challenge. I made a pathetic attempt at it last month and must do better.
I think I may just lack discipline but we'll keep that our secret. :shhh:
