    You're certainly happy tonight always happy . Well done! :T

    I feel for you both wiz and beanie . If you did decide on a break, we'd miss you but welcome you back with open arms when you're ready. What I'd hate to see is you gaining loads after all your hard work. It happens. :(

    beanie , my mum was overweight at my brother's graduation. She hated the photos and it motivated her to join WW with her neighbour. Fast forward a few years to his wedding and she looked fab. I have the photo in my sitting room now. Why don't you use your miserable experience with the dress that didn't fit last night to spur you on.

    wiz you're so close to target that you 'just' need to stick with it for those last few pounds then a bit of yoyoing won't matter. You know it makes sense (for your health).

    Go girls!! :A
    I do thik having a goal helps and mine is that pesky diabetic nurse i see in 22nd June:o i am determined my results will be better thats why i want to loose another 1 1/2 st before i see her:rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening everyone.

    1.5lbs off for me this week please Shala. That makes me half a pound off my next stone barrier. Pleased with this as until yesterday I felt very bloated and 'full'. I definitely need my bran flakes for breakfast daily!

    Funny day - out for lunch and made a reasonable SW choice (roast dinner) but it was a bit light on veg, breakfast on the road this morning (so no bran flakes!), made up speed with fruit today.

    Having stopped going to group weeks ago, I've finally lost access to the app/website to check syns so I might ask for some help in future if I can't find the info on other websites. I hope this is OK.

    Some great losses this week, well done losers, and chin up to those who haven't got a good result this week.

    Well done on your losses, Top Girl, Ruthy and AlwaysHappy. :j Commiserations to all those who've not had such happy results... :(

    Mrs_Ryan - glad your eye is OK. :D

    Lois - thanks for the quark info. I bit the bullet and did half quark and half fromage frais as a dressing for dinner, and it was delicious! :T Would definitely do it again for coleslaw/potato salad type things... I like the sound of your stir fried lunch with the Bombay potato mix, too - have added it to my list of must tries! ;)

    Stuck to plan today, although I had some slices of pastrami with my soup for lunch (but they're free and P, so that's not so bad! :p). HExB was a hi-fi bar. Ending today on...*drum roll please*...1 syn! :dance: (Well, that makes it 17 over 2 days, which makes for a better average! :rotfl:).

    Tomorrow's plan is:
    B: Cheese (HExA) omelette with mushrooms & tomatoes (yep, I'm working...:doh:)
    L: Roasted Mediterranean vegetable soup
    D: Pasta with peppered beef and roasted veg (mushrooms, courgettes, tomatoes & onions)
    HExB: I suspect a hi-fi bar...

    Have a good weekend, everybody!

    Glad you're staying with us/it, Wizkid! :D

    Just thinking - when you say you don't like veg, what is it that you don't like about it? Is it the texture, or the flavour? Have you tried many veg (not meaning to be patronising, but lots of people don't go far beyond the cabbage/carrots/cauliflower stuff, and some of the more unusual stuff can be lovely...)?

    Do you eat any veg at all? Can you manage things like coleslaw? If you tell us what you do like (or can manage at a push!), people here might be able to suggest stuff that you've not tried or preparation methods you've not thought of...?

    WizI'm confused! Can't work out what day you're doing tomorrow! Thought it might be a Red day but you've got cottage pie for Dinner which you can't have on Red. Or is it a Green day and you're having the meat as your 2nd HEB?

    If it's an EE day then you can't have 2 HEAs!

    Good work, TG, AlwaysHappy (brill), esmy and Ruthy.

    Well, today was an epic fail! Not a great choice for lunch, so I had soup (lentil and ham) that came with a herb scone. I was quite happy with that. Then my friend, who really only gets out when I take her, wanted to go to Dobbies so she could use her tea vouchers! So we went and she bought a plant. Then she bought the giant scones – for my birthday (that was in March) as she’d missed it. I was late home and DH was going out to bowls early so he made us rolls and corned beef (and butter, naturally), as he knew I usually just had a snack if I was out at lunch time. So then I gave up and had a curly wurly. Oh well there is always tomorrow.

    Speaking of tomorrow, the Bairns need to win to be sure of 2nd place and, therefore, 2 less games in the play offs. We didn’t manage to get tickets so I’ll be glued to Twitter!

    No idea what I’ll be eating tomorrow, apart from my fingernails.
