    Evening all - early post = danger for me later on, but right now I don't care! My son and his partner called to collect their littlies this evening and it turns out that he proposed on Mother's Day and they went ring shopping today! We are all super excited now!

    Mildredd, delighted you have a date for surgery.

    Shala, +1lb for me this week, which is better than I expected/deserved.

    review of Tuesday's plan - family dinner
    breakfast:fruit rasps & blueberries, 2 x hexb Ryvita, quark
    lunch: butternut squash soup again it didn't get made - had to take daughter to doctor so had bacon, eggs, beans, tomato instead
    dinner:boeuf bourgignon, potatoes, broccoli, carrots plus another bit of hm cheesecake as we were all celebrating
    Snacks: choc dig (3), banana, Skinny Cow mint double choc lolly (5)

    Total so far:8 ++++
    Will have 2 more hexb Ryvita and some hexa laughing cow light with tomato for supper.

    Wednesday's plan
    Breakfast: grapefruit & hexb toast
    Lunch: butternut squash soup (unless the squash has gone mouldy waiting!)
    Dinner: beanburger & salad, Hartley's 10 jelly

    Good luck everyone. Remember, sometimes there's a little happy surprise just around the corner :)

    Thanks for the hug ,mildredd.:) Good news about your op and half a pound is nothing under the circs.

    3lbs is excellent. Our consultant is always recommending variety whether it's HEXs or meals in general.


    Does this mean you'll have a wedding outfit to fit into greentiger? That's an excellent target.


    I'm pleased to say I didn't succumb to any munchies tonight but tomorrow I'm out for a meal with friends. It's WI on Thursday but hopefully too soon for meal to catch up. I'm expecting a gain (I fact I need a small one as I was below target range before my holiday) but it shouldn't be too serious.

  • Has anyone made the chip shop curry sauce? I'm guessing I can freeze it if I omit the fromage Frais?

    I can see where you've gone wrong today. If it's Green then you have to syn your steak or have a small amount (60g) as a HEB. I'd syn the extra bread instead as it's probably lower syns. The cereal will depend on what you have but something that could be a HEB is likely to be about 4-5 for 25g. It's not too late to change to EE by losing the sandwich and having something like a salad or eggs instead. And while I'm being extra picky:o I'm convinced you need a high proportion of SFs as veg and not just fruit so carrots could do with onions or broccoli or something with them. You'll get there, just keep plodding and sharing.:)


    :TMrsC, excellent loss.


    I've had a SW breakfast but that's probably it for the day. Off out to lunch.....
