Had my JP at lunchtime with plain tuna but did come with coleslaw garnish. I ended up making the SW easy chicken curry for tea as five of us and only bought 4 pork chops!!

Rye is lovely @milann I’m planning on taking DDad in the next few weeks.

Another lovely day here, warm and sunny and it's supposed to last until Sunday.🤞🏼

Just a pound on isn't bad while you're eating out and trying to get organised @milann 👍🏼. Fortunately, I have loads of nearby supermarkets but I still try to just shop once a week. I always do my list and meal plan together before I shop . It's a habit from before SW as, when I was working, it saved time and headspace to get it all done in one go. I always keep a stock of HM ready meals to allow for unexpected changes so it's not fixed.

A bowl of soup isn't really enough for me either @bubbs. Yesterday I had some sardines and salad with it and today I'm thinking of a small ham salad.

I think you must have had a holiday in Ross on Wye . That's on the Welsh border. DGD went there for a wedding last month and brought me back the cider cake.

I'm making a cheat chicken dinner tonight. I've got some HM gravy in the freezer that I want to use up with a pack of chicken breast slices.

We're out for lunch tomorrow at a country pub we've never visited before. I've looked at the menu and the prices are getting farcical (£25-30 for main courses, £15 for starters). I've got a feeling I won't be eating or drinking much as I think that's really taking the proverbial!🤣

Today's plan-
B- toast, eggs, bacon, baked beans (fibre, P,F), milk for drinks (calcium)
L- lentil soup (S,P), ham salad? (S,P)
D- chicken dinner (P,S,F)
Swips- LTL mayo 1, gravy 4?

Evening all 😁

Milann thanks about shoulder but was awake even earlier this morning 😢😢laying down absolutely kills it 😣it's like it's pulling, roll on 14the Oct! Then i suppose i will have to wait a couple of weeks for results!

Maman was right it was Ross on Wye 🤣🤣soon as i saw what you had wrote i knew that was right.

Well went food shopping today and watch out '👀👀in lidl they charge per kg for w/melon so never buy it from there, big sign for honeydew, i said to DH i will have one of them £1.49, was putting shopping through and just happened to catch her weighing it! I said you don't weigh honeydew, she said we do now have to weigh them all!! I said well i don't want it then, whether she got mixed up i don't know 🤷‍♀️ Also was getting some eggs, i said to DH what does that say, as didn't have my glasses on he said 12 XL eggs £5.99 (i'd seen the £5.99 but couldn't see the writing) I said no way for eggs 😱 they had the 99p ones i have so that was fine 🤣

Food today

Hi all,

Had a day out today with both parents. We went to Ramsgate which was a bit breezy but dry. Spent some time in the large antiques emporium (Dad's choice) then drove into town to visit the large haberdashery shop (Mum's choice) but it's shut on a Thursday - just typical.

Food today:

Proud of myself for only having a coffee at the antiques cafe (when Mum and Dad had cake too) and for finding yet another JP. May write a book "my Indian Summer eating JPs around Kent"

I wonder if the assistant knew what they were doing in Lidl @bubbs . As far as I can tell online both Aldi and Sainsburys melon prices are for the whole thing not per kg. I'll look when I go shopping tomorrow.

Hope you can get through tomorrow unscathed @Coxy11 . What with both parents and your mother wanting sweet treats it won't be easy. 🤞

I had a chicken Caesar salad for lunch and it was very nice. Probably a fair few swips for the dressing, a few croutons and a couple of anchovies but I did enjoy it. I had a cup of tea after while others were having puddings. 😇

Breakfast was a fry up and if I'm hungry later, I've got plenty of SW friendly snacks in the fridge, so not too bad a day. 👍

Hello all,

Weigh day for me today - had the last two Fridays off as we were meant to be away but didn't go in the end. Announcing a 1.5lb loss for the 3 weeks so back to my usual of 0.5lb loss per week. Not too shabby. I'm exactly on a stone figure now so with any luck I will see a different front number next week for the first time in 2(?) years. Have set my target at exactly 1 stone from here. A bit lower than my last target 10 years ago. Can I get there - hope so!

I went to the tip after group so had brunch and won't eat again until tonight.

Food today:

B - banana (at group) - free

B/L - toasted protein bagel thin, poached egg, flat peach - fibre, P, S

D - breaded fish fillet, AF chips, broccoli - 7, free, S

Calcium - 350ml skimmed milk

Calcium #2 - 3 x mini babybel light

SWIPs - 7 plus hi fi bar (bought the new toffee flavour today) = 10 total

Afternoon all 😁 Sorry it was when i started writing this 😂😂

Thanks Coxy about shoulder. Well done on your loss 👏👏👏

Maman, i should have gone back and looked as honeydew is always sold by the whole item, it was Lidl not Aldi.

Been nice here again last couple of days, although come over really cloudy now as if it is going to rain.

Dunno what WI will bring tomorrow , but i don't feel like i have gained, we will see.

Food today

Lunch half fibre and 1/4 calcuim

Tea Fake KFC.

Hey all, late check in. Everything’s packed for early airport run.

Not posted this week due to RL throwing another curve ball. Made WI at different class this morning and it was another blooming pound gain! I am so not amused!

I’m three stone down with another one to go. While I’m happy it’s gone it’s taken an absolute age. I’ll keep plodding in my best @beanielou fashion. Hope you are all well. I will probably read along but not post as I’ll be on my phone assuming Wi-Fi is ok.

maman

Happy Holiday @Jellybaby , have a great time! 😊
