Cheerfulness - the lentil burgers are dead easy, I'll post the recipe later as I'm not sure if it's on my work pc but it's deffo on the home one.

BMF, Hgbels and all the other losers (inc the Frog) WELL DONE :T :T :T :T

Everyone:hello: else
Good day yesterday, I had 2 little polenta fingers with my glass of wine whilst watching Calender Girls - I love that film but nothing else.
Today I've had boiled eggs and dry soldiers, got hummus and veggie dippers for lunch and stuffed mushrooms for tea with fruit and yogs for snacks.

Exercise is walking, I walked from the station this morning instead of the freebuss so that's an extra 10 mins

See you later folks :A

Morning everybody. Reporting in with this weeks result....1lb loss.
Not great as I really feel like I've tried this week, but now I'm 12st something instead of 13st something, and that feels good enough.
You're all doing really well, it's great to see what a difference support can make. Genuine support, not a pay your money at the door set up! I appreciate that everybody is there. When your on a di*t you think you're the only one in the world who eats a biscuit or a cake and then feels like cr*p. But it turns out I'm not a monster after all, and being fat doesn't make me horrible either, coz I think everyone on here is just fantastic. Thank you. Why do I always get teary eyed when I post here?? Need and piece of lemon cake that'll calm me down....NOOOOO!!!
Have a great week everybody.
love
alfiesmum.

morning all

just got back from nipping to ALDI-so thats another 1 hr crossed off the exercise :T so im now sat here eating an apple (didn't fancy brekkie beore i went out)

Have re-stocked my apples, yoghurts (16 of them:p ) and cream cheese and onions..we have loads of everything else in-but i get through shed loads of apples n yogs

Well i allready have a pan of soup on the go.... chicken stock from yesterdays roast, and then i have thrown in an onion, red lentils and broth mix...loads of seasoning later and a blitz and thats 3 more flasks of soup for hubby;) -the rest of the chicken i stripped off has been frozen... enough for 2 salads each and 2 lots for filling tortillas..which i will be making later in the week -so 5 meals for 2 and 3 flasks of soup for €2.50 is pretty good going -glad i have 4 more chickens in the freezer:rotfl:
A loaf of bread is under way..well its sat in the bowl proving at the mo!
So i have got off to a good start today :j

Lunch will probably be krisprolls with cream cheese
dinner is salad with steamed potatoes and tuna -gues who is trying to get some rings for her piklets/crumpets :rotfl:

Corrrrrr theres loads to catch up on :eek:

Well done to keiss, redmel, hgbels and BIGMUMMAF on the losses :T

Morning frogga -glad all is well at the pond

The news of our roof needing replacing had its usual effect on me... nope i don't head for the fridge... i sleep ....it must be my body trying to shut out the stress -always knew i was wired up wrong :rotfl: -so yesterday i was fighting to stay awake..and to be honest i could probably crawl into a corner and sleep now :rolleyes: ...still when hubby gets home he has some calls to make to see what we can get arranged... once i know what is happening i will be fine again ..... still at least i didn't fill my face....

right i had better get off... get the bread in the tin, the soup stirred and then park my behind on the sofa

hello to everyone not mentioned
Keep up the good work everyone..and have a good day

well done on the loss Alfiesmum...nearly missed you..we were typing at the same time....

Hiya,

I've removed the recipe for the patties because it is a full quote of a copyrighted recipe.

The link to the recipe direct is here...

lentil patties

And you should find the whole site quite interesting

cheerfulness4

Thanks for the recipe Rockie and Squeaky for pointing out that site. :)Some lovely things on there.

The Creamy chicken and mushroom fettuccine in the budget section of the recipe collection looks well worth a try, as does the quick fix cheddar and chive bread in the Cheese section. Yum. Very useful.

Had to have a quick change of meal plan today as OH can't face curry, so swapping to HM sausages (:dance:), mash, steamed cauli & carrots and onion gravy for dinner.

Will go ahead and make my naans anyway, and iced finger buns, and seedy wml loaf. Best get off here then. :rolleyes:

MrsMc - hope the worry over the roof is sorted soon for you and Mr Mc.

Hello everyone, here I am, Monday morning weigh in

I am sulking as I have put on a pound!!!!! Soooooooooooooooo fed up, I thought I had had a really good week - I was a bit naughty at the weekend but nothing compared to what I would normally eat *grumbling*. I *think* its 'star' week - ah SW still lingers on in me somewhere - so if it is then I dont feel so bad but honestly, I could moan my little face off I could.

*deep breath* Anyway, well done to everyone who has lost this week, good luck to all those who are trying the February challenge and commiserations to anyone who is having a bit of a blip. I'm proud to say I am sat here eating my HM soup and have resisted the urge to comfort eat - which is what I do every other time I am sulking

Off to the beginning of the thread to cut and paste some recipes, have a good day everyone xx

Aaah! As I said, I don't weigh myself, but this morning I had a good look in the mirror...

In 11 days of my new diet, I've:
- Lost half a dress size (from 14/16 to a straightforward 14)
- Almost completely flattened my tummy - you can actually see my abs in a good light
- Got a nice round bottom! Sounds funny, but it's actually lifted and gone a really nice, firm shape (still lumpy though!)
- Almost lost my "second pair of hips"

I'm so impressed! Can't wait to see what I look like next week :rotfl: I'm also pleased because it's my birthday this weekend and I'll feel much more confident in my party dress

Thanks for your tips on the treacle tart too - I've frozen it down and will serve it up in mini slices at the party (not indulging in it myself, of course).
