    Well done peachy - go for it girl!

    I guess I'm on a red day today as OH is preparing a chicken salad. He upset me this weekend and I haven't eaten since yesterday brunch. He's ruined my entire weekend and I can't wait to go to work tomorrow.

    Hope everyone's enjoying the B Hol - shame about the weather though! Overcast and windy here, bit of drizzle earlier.:rolleyes:

    On the SW front - I'm doing well today. Made the FREE Quiche from the Red Book (egg, bacon, ham etc) and added some onions & herbs and tomatoes on top and it filled my biggest quiche dish. Everyone liked it and not one of them commented on it having no pastry! Had new potatoes in their skins (counted as syns) and green beans and bit of side salad. Pud was just a Muller Light and a banana. Then went for nice long walk as we're going out tonight to a "buffet supper" so ...... I will be avoiding anything synful as I am determined to lose that 1.5 lbs this week to get my first STONE off!! ;)
    I barely drink alcohol, so that shouldn't be a problem tonight and we are walking there and back as well (only about 1/4 mile each way but it all helps!!) OMG ... I can feel my halo slipping!!:D

    Well I'm just back from WI and have put on 1lb. Not at all bothered about it as being Bank holiday the time of the WI was 6pm instead of 10am so I think if I'd been weighed this morning I'd've lost a couple.

    Have been quite naughty this weekend though. Went to a Baby shower on Friday and had wine, food from the buffet and Toffee cheesecake (oh my G*d it was lovely), then last night we went to a friends 60th birthday party so again, buffet food. In laws were here today for a BBQ (LOL, we cooked and ate inside!!!) and I had Quorn chilli burgers - they were lovely - with a big salad.

    I will get my 1.5 stone award next Monday!

    I know the new password for the week too if anyone wants it.

    Some lovely recipes in the new magazine. Potato-based pizza, Pasta bake, chicken caesar salad and Lemon Sorbet to name a few :D

    Had my first stumble of the plan today! We went out for lunch and I was very good and just had a jacket potato with tuna and salad and the little angel that sits on my right shoulder was congratulating me on being such a good girly! Then that little devil who sits on my left shoulder made me, I mean real arm twisting visciously up my back stuff, have a sweet.........................but god it was soooooooooooo lovely and creamy and chocolatey.

    Hi everyone,

    sorry to hear you are having such a horrid weekend Skint Catt. Men eh :mad: My DH is asleep on the settee. Fab. Peace and quiet!!

    Anyway, I am a new member and it was my first WI last Thurs and I lost 2.5 lbs. I 'felt' a bit thinner then - IYSWIM. Also I had these old scales that weren't very accurate so I binned them and have started using my new digital ones. These seem to weigh me heavier. Anyway, I am sticking to the plan (did have that curry Friday night - had veg rogan and boiled rice on a green day - but only a very small portion so shouldn't be too bad!! Still got no idea of Syn value though). However, I keep thinking I'm not going to lose anything this week. Probably the new scales, I don't know. I go on holiday in 4 weeks and would love to lose 8 pounds for that. I just don't feel any slimmer :D:D . I know it sounds mad but I can't help it! Probably should try being positive. :D

    Anyway, going to stop irrational moaning and go to bed!

    Oh yes, made the potato pizza from the mag. Not like real pizza, tasted like jacket potato with tomato and cheese - which is nice!. It would be less bother to have the jacket (what with overnight chilling and all thats required!!). I did like the quiche though!!

    Hi there everyone. Just read over the thread and have found some lovely recipies! This will be my fourth week at SW (Thursday nite is my weigh-in), and so far I have lost 15lb!! I am so chuffed! The first week I lost 7 1/2lbs, the second week was 5lbs, and last week was 2 1/2lbs. Can't believe how relatively easy it is to stick to- I'll be Twiggy in no time LOL!!
