Have just done my first weigh in and have lost 2lb - :j .

Well done to you MaiseM :T :T :T

I like the idea of that challenge of 7lb in 4 weeks, too. I'll have my weigh in tomorrow and then take it from after that.

Afternoon one and all

Well done on your weight loss MaisieM :T

As i didn't bother with brekkie i had a couple of weetabix for lunch

dinner is going to be a pasta bake ..as i have 1/2 a carton of passata, 1/2 tin sweetcorn, 3/4 of a stick of air dried sausgae/salami, some low fat cream cheese with horseraddish -all open in the fridge..
So i will slice some of the salami and drop it in the frying pan, add a sliced onion then mushrooms, peppers and broccoli (from the freezer) and sweetcorn oh and a handfull of frozen peas... cook a little then throw in the passata and a stock cube and then a dollop of the cream cheese (great for taking the acid out of toms and making a sauce creamy -without cream;) ) and then mix in the par cooked pasta and shove in the oven for a few mins.... and that should clear the fridge of any bits n bobs :j ......
when i serve it up though -most of the salami will go on hubbies plate -the flavour will still be in there and it saves a few cals :rotfl:

The more the merrier aiming for the 7lb loss in time for valentines day:D -I find it keeps me more focussed if i have mini goals

Taplady -hope you get good results
Your hubby sounds like mine-its very rare he snacks... if he does its generally cheese and biscuits, HM bread and an occasional quaver craving :rotfl:

Oh i know what i forgot to mention- last night on the way back from the seed shop "I resisted the call of the Gyros n chips" :eek: ..... we managed to convinve ourselves that we didn't want one:D and not only did it save cals -but also the best part of €20 :T so we came home and had prawn salad with potatoes as planned

Keiss21 -don't panic about the 2lb-its not a true reading -i bet you diamonds that if i got on the scales in the morning my weight would be up...and No i haven't eaten too much today .... the body fluids etc flucctuate so much over the days.... so you probably haven't gained at all

right im off again...off to retrieve and apple out of the fridge

Hi MrsM , I'll be in on the Valentines Day Thing if I may

Just cant get my old motivation back for more than 2 days at a time Decieded to have one last weekend (yse I know how many times?) and Get back on track on Monday. Realy feel like I'm putting on too much again and it's getting out of hand

Woohoo frogga :wave:

you know you will soon get to grips with it again..its just a case of waiting for the right moment -the one where it just "clicks" and makes sense... so no beating yourself up -right thats the nice me -here comes my evil alterego

Get your bum into gear Mrs -you KNOW you can do this... stop faffing..get back to the front of the wagon -you are chief engine driver...so get up there and steer us all in the right direction

There you go..you see i know that you like doing the opposite of what is suggested -so now you can pick which you want to read :rotfl:

You will have to excuse me- im having a "silly half hour"....
Hope you are Ok my ickle green friend -you know you WILL do this and this will be the last time you have to go through it...as you will maintain it.. even if i have to pester you

Right I am back again, what a horrible day! I had to drive to Cheltenham to have a session with my chiropractor this morning...back a bit iffy, so return again in 4 weeks.

I have at last read my way through the last couple of day's posts...isn't everyone busy!

applemella - the microteach went well...it was only a 5 minute one...very hard to keep to that, I don't think anyone did! Lots of fun topics though: juggling, sewing a French knot, mindmapping, making a paper hat, hieroglyphics, essential oils , wall building, an Introduction to the death process(!), a Kung-fu defence move as well as my bean planting...quite a selection, we were all worn out at the end. I am study the new PTLLS course (formerly Certificate in Delivering Learning), only 18 weeks long, then I do the next part, either CTLLS or DTLLS (!). I must admit I am really enjoying it, despite yesterday's nerves.

:eek::eek::eek: EEEEEEKKKKKKK :eek::eek::eek:!!! My conservatory's roof is leaking!

When the wind and rain is from a certain direction, the boxed bit containing the the external pipe from toilet upstairs (complicated!) starts to leak. Have mopped up now and have a bucket catching the drips....aaaaaarrgghhh!

I was feeling good too...despite my back aching, so I must get off the computer...not good for it! Mind nor is mopping up the floor!

On my way back from chiro, I popped into Lidl the first time for years. I got some bread flour, 48p now, but still much better than elsewhere. I also got their pack of 72 weeabix-like cereal for £1.69 ...my DS2 is eating 6 every breakfast at the moment!!!!!

Must go and rest, I might pop in next door to see my neighbour. I won't be tempted to nibble there either, so a great result.

I have decided to do the chicken in the slow cooker for tomorrow, will have HM pizza tonight. Must get the bread machine on soon.

Right I am off

M

PS I am in on the Valentine's Day Challenge...that will get me under 18 stone!
