Must try harder!

My FitBit screen went really dim shortly before it died. I managed to brighten the screen by tapping on the settings but it wasn't much longer after that it stopped working altogether. I was lost without it for a few days.

I like overnight oats in the summer but find it a bit cold in winter, prefer hot porridge.

I think my mistake with the oats was maybe that I had vanilla fat free rather than plain? I added defrosted berries and it was ‘ok’, but not a real pleasure to eat BUT it must have been filling as I wasn’t very hungry at lunchtime! So it obviously has something going for it. 

SA mine was the same, I managed to brighten it a tiny bit, but it was so dim I could barely read it in the dark and couldn’t see it at all in daylight. I now have a charge 5, my last was a 3, so it has a coloured screen 😮. It also comes with 6 months free to some premium thing, but I don’t want to register for it as you have to sign up and then they hope you pay instead of cancelling…it puts me right off trying it, when it’s an obvious trick to take your money 😖

WW - it doesn't matter what flavour yoghurt you use.  It's more to do with the amount.  I tend to make it quite sloppy when I make it as it is absorbed by the oats.  I add the oats first, then the yoghurt and give it a good stir before topping with the frozen fruit.  Then next morning I give it another stir and add some fresh fruit if I want more.

I've never like overnight oats. Only way I can stomach porridge is with nuttella 😳

oh are you only supposed to eat when you are hungry ?  Explains a lot

I love naked porridge oats with just cold milk like a bowl of normal breakfast cereal.  don’t like porridge ‘cooked’ 

WinterWarrior

Ooh I’ve never tried ‘raw’ porridge @dawnybabes. Oats are in muesli though so it makes perfect sense.
@Deni_debt-free_dreamer eating when hungry applies to salads, diet food and good for you stuff, but certainly not for anything delicious! 🤣
@joedenise I thought mine was sloppy when I put it together, but maybe it wasn’t enough.
@moving_forward Nutella you say? 😮

Good morning and happy hungry Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️📚📚❄️

Freezing and sleety this morning, brrr. I have been covered in pets all night, but need to throw them off soon. I am already thinking of food 😬 a sensible breakfast and a mugshot for lunch I think! 

I hope you all have a good day…eat nice things for me!!! 🍫🍨🍧🍫

Morning WinterWarrior

You sound very focused with food - hope you enjoyed your sensible breakfast I had porridge with half non-dairy milk and half water, with raspberries.  It is much nicer with a squirt of golden syrup but i'm trying to eat better ....  I'm already looking forward to lunchtime!

It is rainy and cold here in the NW but i have 3 layers of clothing and a hot water bottle keeping me warm

I had porridge too @Deni_debt-free_dreamer. I’m hoping the focus remains as last time it took me about 5 months to get back to where I should be as I’m a very slow loser now 😖 I am trying to keep my eyes on the prize…a) fit into the clothes I have (and be able to breathe) and b) get some new ones 😁
