    Morning everyone. :)


    So mhe, is this fruit bread a product of your MIL's BM? I know they're not everyones cup of tea but I'd be lost without mine. Love it. :D one at the
    LOL - how did you guess. First 2 loaves came out teribble - then i found lid wasnt on properly since then its been fine.
    NOw heres my problem - before BM i used to nip to asda at 8pm and buy tons of whoops bread - my freezer is full of the stuff and now DH is getting into this BM stuff so i seem to have a bread mountain in my house. What am i going to do with it all - how long does it last when frozen? DH and DS want MRSMs tortillas again this Saturday and I let DS 1 make his own pizza tonight whilst DS2 was at a party. Now he wants to make his own pizza.

    Morning all :D

    soooo how is everyone this lovely morning? tickity boo I hope :D

    Got to go for a wander later -we need to pick up the car as hubby had drinks for a couple of folks leaving yesterday, so left meggymoo on camp (yes the car has a name:o )..so a poddle down to fetch her will burn a few cals ;)

    Made the tortillas for dinner again last night -they are very nice with a tbs of poppy seeds in the mix mmmmmm next time im doing sesame seeds ;) I froze 4 of them as balls of dough -so will see how they turn out when i cook them later in the week.

    meals today:-
    1. brekkie - yoghurt and a grapefruit
    2. lunch- hm toast and poached egg -have some organic eggs so hoping for a "nom nom nom" moment :p
    3. dinner - i can feel a ham salad coming on -with steamed potatoes
    4. and yes..snackies will be fruit and yoghurts:D
    think i will get some of those custards made today...have a couple of nanas left -so will shove one in the bottom...will report back how well they work:D

    Hi caterina.. sorry about your news...mind at least now you know what you are dealing with!!!!
    I have a problem with the fluid in my spine and around my brain, and am hoping that once i get down to within my healthy weight range i may be able to try and control it ;) ...

    Well done on the loss lil_me :T , i used to use the sweetener by silver spoon one called "nothing comes closer to sugar" and no-one ever noticed the difference, mind i use that little i have gone back to sugar in a bid to reduce the "replacements" to a minimum...

    Chloebelle
    The walking is addictive isn't it -who'd have thought it :rotfl: I get quite tetchy if i don't get out for a walk:p . Fingers crossed for Monday for you...

    Taplady
    :eek: "NO CAKE?" ecky thump..i am in awe ..well done :T . Hope work passes quickly for you.

    Belindabear... im the opposite now... the 1st time i was genuinly hungry -it was quite a shock :p not a feeling my body was used to :rotfl: ..... now i don't let myself get starving, but its lovely to sit down to a meal thinking "mmmm im ready for this" rather than just shoving it down my neck :o
    What a lovely treat -a good old pamper session:T

    Mhe... james Martin is rather "nice" isn't he ;) and heck does he know how to cook proper food.... have you seen how much butter, cream etc that man can use :rotfl: .... I like Bill Grainger... he is as cute as a button:p

    Chardonnay - well done on the loss :T ..i have just gone to "obese" from very obese :rotfl: ...... must check how much i need to lose to be plain old "fat" :p

    Morning frogga, newlywed, marie, bigmumma, cherfulness and the many more i have missed hope you have a lovely weekend :D

    Right i had better get on and get my brekkie.. have a great day everyone and keep up the good work :D

  • Morning all. :)

    Well done to all the losers, including Chardonnay and any others I've missed over the week. ;)

    Got on scales this morning and I've lost 1 lb so that's a relief. I thought I might have actually put on this week because I've been having quite a few carbs :rolleyes: although I'd didn't think I'd overeaten, which I obviously hadn't. :D

    I'm now in my 'danger zone' where I usually lose the plot so I'm going to steel myself until I get to the 19 1/2 stone, where hopefully I will feel safer. :rolleyes:
    So that now leaves me 1 1/2 lb to lose by next week to reach my target for the end of Froggas Feb challenge. Completely do-able if I stay determined. :D

    Can hardly see screen as the cold has gone to my eyes and they're watering, so I'll get down to the basics.

    Food today:
    Weetabix
    Roast chicken, roast veg and steamed cabbage & carrots, gravy
    Not sure how hungry I'll be after the roast so maybe crackers & roule cheese.

    Snacks - Fruit and dried apricots. There may be a slice of choc cake. :o

    DH is making his fabulous Bero Milk Chocolate cake today... :eek: May need that once I've taken mum for her opticians appointment.. remembering last years. :cool:

    Take care all and all the best for your weigh in Rockie. ;)

    Morning MrsM and Tappy :hello: et al

    Bit of a ucky overcast morning at the mo, certanly not going to be as nice as last weekend :rolleyes:

    Wanted, ney needed "something" last night but through boredom rather than hunger. Had 1/2 packet of mixed fruit and nuts which gave me a bit of a belly ache. They weren't very nice really so wish I hadn't bothered. However I was very close to getting toast and jam , and that would have then go on and on and I would no doubt have been eating all night so I'm really please I stopped :T

    Think I'll be OK today as I could have binged last night and never got the enthusiasm back for this weekend. Cna't give up now it's only 1 week til WD :D

    Hope you all have a good weekend. Might do a big clean up , although TBH it doesn't need it. I just think I'll need to keep myself busy this weekend IYKWIM ;)

    See ya xxxxxxxxxx

    P.S MrsM ~ hope you got my PM back, if went all funny with lots of odd bits in it :confused: Let me know and I'll type it again :rolleyes:

    Hi saversarn

    Chinese mmmmmmmm

    chicken n sweetcorn soups a good start

    A lot of chinese food is really good on the fat/cals...
    as long as you avoid the deep fried sweet n sour, prawn toasts etc you should be fine...
    And obviously picking a prawn or chicken option will make it even "safer"
    at least there isn't much temptation on the pudding front ;) deep fried pineapple/banana eughhhhhh

    Most of all go out and enjoy every mouthfull ;) ....not forgetting that chopsticks take longer to use -so you will have time to register you are full before you get to the "stufed" stage :T , have a great evening

    Well, no loss whatever to report - and I'm avoiding scales for a few days now as all my motivation seems to have evaporated. It's only the fact that there really is nothing to snack on (DH has my car and I can't face the 2 miles to the shops!) has stopped me stuffing my face nonstop today. Don't know why, not even really hungry, but just want to eat. Hope you are all doing ok.
