    Have just posted this on the SW thread, so apologies to those of you who read both!

    Hi all!

    Have found a nice idea in the Tesco's free mag, among all their Christmas recipes. They made something v like a SW 'quiche' but in a ring mould, and then filled the centre with veg and bits. It'd be really easy to adapt, and fill with roasted veg or SW chips, or stir-fry. It just looked so nice, and presentation is everything.

    I find a lot of their recipes are easy to adapt, and it's often just a case of dry-frying with Frylight rather than frying in oil, and not using flour etc to thicken sauces.

    And, thanks Louise for taking the trouble to get the spreadsheet up and running.

    Afternon all.
    Thank you for your messages of support. Unfortunately DD is worse today that she has been for the last two weeks. She has now been ill for 18 days. :(
    She has coughing fits which are so bad they make her vomit. Apparently it isn't asthma, tb, chest infections and we are waiting for whooping cough results. I know what it isn't but noone can advise what it is and what to do to make it better. I have tried EVERYTHING and I'm now willing to try chicken entrails around her neck if that would help!:confused:
    The upshot is neither of us is sleeping and we are both surviving on squash (her) and coffee (me) and sugary, fatty snacks. SW just doesn't take these situations into account!:rotfl:
    I need my jaws wired up!:lipsrseal
    I have been good so far today though
    Breakfast: VERY large tub natural yogurt & sweetner + fruit + coffee
    Lunch: pork chop + veggies + ryvita from HEB spread with purple cheese from HEA
    Snack: loads of grapes

  • im so sorry to hear about your daughter rugbymum, it must be awful not knowing i cant imagine it at all.
    all you can do with regards to weightloss is your best under the circumstances and dont beat yourself up about not following it properly. as soon as your daughter is well then you will get straight back on it... lots of hugs for you and your daughter from me :grouphug:

    Well I am very happy with myself this week as I have lost 2 lbs :j

    Need to be careful this week though as I am out with my friend on Saturday and the Jack Daniels will be flowing (from my hipflask that I have in my handbag);)

    We always have diet coke with it but I must make sure that I avoid having the "drunken chip shop visit":D

    Well done Louise.

    I've just scoffed a plateful of bacon, scrambled egg, couple of sausage and a spoon of beans.
    I do feel better for cutting back on the bread the last couple of days.

    Rugbymum, hope you manage to get an answer with regard to your daughter. Please do eat though, you don't want to be ill also. Have a dodgy hug :grouphug:

    Well done on your 2lbs Lou :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
