Thanks maman,

I wanted to shout yay when i saw the figure on the scales. the loss took me down to the next stone bracket which was really nice aswell!

Sorry to hear that you gained this week, can i ask what you have lost altogther since you started?

That's a brilliant quick meal for only 1 syn from asda, may have to get a few tins of those!

This weather is really getting me down, can't plan to do anything on the weekend when im off work which is a pain. Really wanted to try and start using my bike!

Enjoy your trip to town, Id love to get back into a 12!

my EE plan for today

B-HEB-Bitesize weetabix HEA-Milk and chopped banana
S-handful of cherries and WW hot choc 1.5 syns
L-Jacket Pot with beans
S-Mullerlight
D-smoked kippers, 2 x poached eggs and mushrooms

No problem, abby. I was 13 st 9.5 lbs when I started and I'm now 10 st 7 lbs. I'm 5 ft 9 so that makes me a slim 12. It took me about 10 months to get to my target.

Just an update on the chilli: apparently there's not a huge amount of meat but plenty of veg in the con carne. If you have the time then add peppers, mushrooms whatever to up the SFs.

Well done Abby on your first week's loss and of course to everyone else who lost this week.

Great menu there but just a reminder to add in some veggies to lunch and dinner to make sure you have 1/3 superfree on your plate. Baked beans are free but not superfree - otherwise looking good.

OK. Off Topic, but i need a mini vent. We have a temp worker in who sits next to me and she's a spreader. You know - her stuff just magically migrates outwards from her desk and onto mine. It's driving me nuts as I'm a real virgo minimalist desk person and yet her newspaper is fully open and halfway across my desk! She's not even reading it. Many times I've made a show of clearing up my desk and nudging her stuff back but she's not taken the hint.

I feel petty but aggro! Argh! Office work!

Very mixed up day today here. 90% humidity and I'm dying. Had to sit in an non-airconditioned apartment this morning waiting for the electric company and what was meant to be a 30 minute job became 4 hours! I had no water and no snacks with me - very bad planning I know but really didn't think I was going to get caught out.

Four hours gave me loads of time to menu plan and write the shopping list for the coming week - every cloud has a silver lining !!!!

thanks macpep!

I am quite unfit at the moment. i used to do Zumba and swimming last year but havent been for months. Been meaning to go back swimming.

Think the Shred dvd is going to kill me but it needs to be done!!

I may try doing it in the morning as im so tired when i get home from work. The OH is up early at 6.30am so hopefully I can get myself up then to do it!

I get up at 6am as I drop DS at childminder at 7.45 to start work at 8, I don't get home until 5.45 by the time dinner is sorted, tidying up etc am pooped! You will get to enjoy it, I thought I was going to die on level one at first but now on level 2

I have an actifry and thats a brilliant bargain you got, bought mine on offer at Christmas at £125 and that was good at the time. I had mine before SW so used the tbsp oil at the time, now though I just use frylight, I don't cut as chips but prefer chunks, I spray all over then cook a few mins to turn and spray again, they are a bit drier but as they're free its a good compromise for me. I did try a mince mix in it once but it stayed in lumps and was a devil to clean so not bothering with that again. Let us know how you go on. Its also great to take in the caravan

Thanks, I wonder if I can use Extra Virgin Olive oil in it then as my HEB, not saying I will use it on a daily basis. Kids & OH actually ate SW chips for the first time the other night & DS never complained so I may try frylight. I had to sell my Connie the Caravan last year, I sure miss her . Hoping to get one
for the start of next season now we are back on our feet.

Sarahs999 My boss is like that, although I am over the other side of the office, his work migrates over 4 desks :eek:.

Medmum - Poor you 4 hours :eek: on a humid day with no air con :eek:. As you said, gave you time to meal plan that you would not have done otherwise

just a quick question

I have started SW as from yesterday and joined up Tues night. I am sure that my consultant said to have 2 x HEA and 2 x HEB if doing red or green days.. did I hear her right???

Yes you did - red/green days mean you can have 2 HEs.

That's interesting to hear that a consultant is actually giving the information about red and green days - thought they all did just EE now.
