Thanks Banjo xx

Well that's 3 times I've now used the new big sharp knife, and 3 times I've cut myself!

Just as well the chainsaw hasn't arrived yet. My wife wants me to get up on a ladder to use it. This is rather worrying me because:

1. I don't like heights and suffer from vertigo.
2. I have a poor sense of balance (that surfing holiday was an embarrassment )
3. I am accident-prone

I'll have to find my books, but not sure of Healthy extras on SE.

Instead of guessing what you should be eating on SE use the sample menu online to make it much easier and less stressful. But it is 2 hea's and 2heb's on SE. Making sure that you have at least 2/3rds sf and 1/3rd free. Any snacks must be fruit and when using syns they must be the highest syn value available for example the green day value for a sausage. Meals are to follow EE

Make her do it then. :rotfl:

Seriously I can't stand on a chair to change a light bulb without feeling dizzy so completely understand your worry.

I once passed out in a cable car on holiday too.

Had a letter back today from the 'fat clinic' which was basically a copy of the letter sent back to my GP. They are asking me to lose 3.3kg in 3 months = 7lb is certainly doable :rotfl:Will see where i go from there. Have my first workshop tomorrow on sugars so should be interesting too and gets me out the house for a few hours.

Tonight i have made some 'syn free' lemon curd. Debatable about syn value as if you juice lemons they become syns but i cant see me eating 2 lemons worth of lemon curd and all i can say so far is its yummy - only licked the bowl cos banjo taught me :rotfl::D

Recipe if anyone wants it is

4 eggs
2 lemons, juiced and zested
6tbsps of sweetener.
3tbsp of fromage frais

whisk eggs and sweetener in a bowl, add juice and zest of lemon to this and place over a pan of simmering water. Continue to stir until thickened. This is anything between 10-15 mins keep an eye on it and remove as thickened because any longer you will have scrambled eggs.:eek:
Allow to cool for a moment before adding fromage frais. Stir through thoroughly and pour into a steralized jar. Let cool fully before refridgerating.

What's SE Steph? Would it help me as i'm really struggling atm.

I've never managed to stick to a diet for more than 4 weeks as it's always the same for me. I stop losing weight after a few weeks.

I'm contemplating going to the doctor's to get my thyroid tested as my sister has exactly the same trouble & has to have hers checked regularly.

Thanks Stef, that sounds lovely. :A

I saw some woman on FB used this to make Lemon Meringue puddings minus the pastry.

SE is success express. Its basically flipping EE on its head so you have 2/3rds superfree and your 1/3rd free portion. 2 healthy extras from each section and any extras/treats synned at the highest value.

I tried it for 5 days and was so fruit and vegged out it was unreal it was way too much for me to handle and that week i sts however thursday a whole week later i had dropped 2.5lb so perhaps it caught up with me i dont know but its not something i could do for more than a few days again.

Lemon curd is lovely must leave it alone!
