Morning all :wave:

I have plastered my poor little piggies, put some socks on ..thrrpp and have my boots on .. im now sat waiting for hubby to come home to pick up his PT kit...im then gonna hitch a ride to the NAFFI to go to the cash point and then have a tootle....somewhere.. i haven't figured out where yet :rotfl: ... must try and remember to pick up some plasters for my little trotters tomorrow .....

ended up going to bed last night without having anything else to eat... just feel like i have finished eating a big meal all the time :rolleyes: ...and got up this morning feeling just the same ....must get a weetabix down my neck though... going to try it with warm milk for a change ....

hubby has requested chilli n rice for tea..bleughhhh... so i will take a portion out of the freezer in a moment.... ooh thats hard work ..still have a couple of portions left after that..no need to make another batch until after xmas :j ....

Kittyscarlett...
Well done on getting through yesterdays "ploughmans"..sounds like you were the only one that took anything.... isn't it typical :mad: ...
I knew you would know what that chenmical in lettuce was :T ....
im obviously very slow on the uptake at the moment..as i was pondering who "mr W Power" was... couldn't remember you mentioning him before... took quite a while for the penny to drop :rotfl: ......

Meanmarie... i have visions of you skipping through the veg plot in the early hours of the morning pulling up veggies in your jimjams :rotfl: ....
Its a well known fact that our men have this psychic ability to "sense" when we have a job for them to do... its quite amazing just how accute it is
I'm sure that if he doesn't make a start on the kitchen.. he may well be getting "ground glass" anyway :rotfl:

Hi there Kika and welcome.. :wave:
Just jump on and join in.... we are all have our own way of eating on here..and some weigh weekly, some monthly, and some go by how their clothes fit...so there are no set guides...just do what works for you...

The thing we all have in common is that we are trying to do plenty of cooking from scratch and try to keep our costs down...and of course we all support each other on here.. its a lovely way of doing it....
so just throw yourself on here.. you will hopefully get a lot of help, hints n tips, along with quite a few laughs

Hi there Mayz and welcome .... just join in .... I can only appologise for my long winded and sometimes insane ramblings...but it sounds like you are used to me allready

Juliejim.... thank heavens someone has heard of it... frogga will think im cracking up otherwise ..what do you think of the mag? only i don't want folks going out buying it just on my opinion

Morning bobbadog..hope you have a good day

Morning frogga... glad yesterday went as you would have hoped :rotfl: .... have a good day and talk to you later

well i had better get to the loo...too much information:p , then drag a brush through my hair and make sure i have all my gubbbins ready for when..IF hubby makes it home :rolleyes:
will catch up with you all later...keep up the good work everyone..and hope we all have a good day

Hya folks...what a nasty weekend wasn't it! At least this morning the sun is shining...and it is dry. DH gave a talk in Rugby last night and came out @10pm to find 1/2 an inch of snow on his beloved Mini, he did not enjoy his dive back home...aaargh. :mad:

Well, weighed in this morning...was sure I had lost weight...but have stayed the same....waaah :eek:

I think I will get DH to measure me this evening when I get home from work...I know I have got thinner...honest!

So this morning I am off to do a few km on the bike before settling down to my college homework.

DS2 has at last gone back to school...he has been off with damaged muscles in his leg (too much exercise too quickly after damaging his shoulder!) for nearly 2 weeks...here's hoping I don't get a phone call from school today. It's funny having an empty house again!:j

Actually, when I think of it...the past two weeks I have had little or no weight loss...could it be my son's influence!! :rolleyes:

So I'm back on the wagon fully and determined to have a good week...despite it being my birthday on Wed. We have talked about going out for a meal...can't remember when me and DH did that last...Christmas last year perhaps....? Not sure whether to go and enjoy myself..or get some nice food in and try not to veg out.

Perhaps I could be extra good and also go out for a meal...after all, you are only 47 once! :rotfl:

Must go and get back to my exercise regime. Will walk the dog too before working from 2pm to 9pm today.

Have a great day everyone :A

Morning !

MRSM - enjoy your tootle!
Kitty - forgot about tomato being a fruit so I did have some after all!:T

pigpen - hope you feel better soon!

Still got snow here!
am off to work for 11am then not home till about 1030pm so have to have lunch and dinner at work, not sure whats on the menu but will take something healthy for lunch plus some healthy nibbles, have got lots of low fat yoghurts ,clementines and bananas to try and keep me on the straight and narrow!

Hope you all have a good day and have lots of willpower!;)

morning losers and tryers all !

mayz and kika, this thread is for everyone and anyone trying to lose weight the OS way, you're more than welcome as frogga has explained above, she has her weightloss campain which you are welcome to join in if you would like a number etc

Well yet again I have a porridge craving, yet again its unlikely to be satisfied this morning ( where o where is that magic porridge pot !! ) Hopefully I will at least have time to get a couple of hot drinks - I really do find making a drink out of Swiss Marigold bouillon powder very useful and tasty and warming. Lunch will likely be scrambled eggs and wholemeal toast and baked tomatoes. No idea as to dinner, I should get a welly on with tidying up the kitchen so I can actually make something ! possibly scampi or Quorn casserole, also dependant on whether I have enough energy to go veggie shopping this afternoon.

Have a good day all

Morning!
I'm coming down with man cold today, so I've got to be extra vigilant in my not snacking!
I've had finn crisps with some turkey and cranberry for breakfast.
Will have soup for lunch and then pasta and a sauce for dinner.
I'm not dieting so much as not snacking and making healthier choices.
Got housework to do in mounds as well today so hopefully that will keep me occupied!

Morning all. Welcome to any new posters

No snow here at all - not even a hint of it

Was fairly good at the weekend - didn't make any cakes but did steal a couple of choc chip biscuits - but it was only a couple and not the whole pack for a change

Tea today is in the slow cooker - sausage casserole with chanteysummat baby carrots from Aldi (only so I don't have to chop them up )

Lunch is left over pasta from yesterday.

Running low on money this month - as usual :rolleyes: so that usually helps with reducing food portions

Morning all :T

Thanks for all the good wishes ladies :A
I feel rotten again this morning, I've dragged myself into work though:rolleyes: Headache's moved to the other side :mad: (quite 'normal' for me, when I get one it lasts about a week on and off and swaps sides - I'll be ok by midweek)

I've had toast and marmalade for brekkie and have a cheese and beetroot on OH's yummy home made bread for lunch but if this headache develops I might have to get sommat else:mad: or maybe just remove the cheese......
I've just had a homemade date,apricot and almond muffin as the bananas I bought at weekend are still too green to eat :mad: Not doing very well here am I?????
Tea will be some of the bean stew that I made yesterday with either couscous or rice.

That 'slim at home mag' looks good does anyone know if you can get it in the shops here? I'm reluctant to take out a subscription if I've not had a proper look at it?

Everyone sounds a lot more positive this morning - has Mr W Power returned to us all??:rotfl: :rotfl:

*passes tissues and paracetamol to the sufferers*

Have a good day everyone!:A
No snow here but I could see it on the hills this morning.

I'd like to join in because I am getting fat, I was weighed at the doctors the other day and I had a fit because I was nearly 12 stone eek! Guess, I will have to go out and buy some scales to help me monitor my weight. Any tips though would be helpful in the meantime.
