Welcome Michaellas,
we have loads of support on here, lots of people post their meal plans for the day so you can never be stuck for ideas and there is always a recipe or 3 floating around.

Hi all
I have been very naughty since NYE. I have been sabotaging myself terribly and was dreading tonight's WI.
I had gained 1.5lbs over Christmas. I was hoping to lose that by tonight but having had (in my mind), such a bad week, I figured I would probably gain a couple of pounds.
To my surprise I managed to lose 2.5lbs!:j
So that is the Christmas gain dealt with, with a pound to spare. I am firmly back on track now and hope to get back to being a proper loser by next week.
We were given the Extra Easy books tonight and a run through from the consultant. I'm going to get my head round it over the next week, then I may give it a go next week.
Welcome newbies :hello: .

well done Penguine and RugbyMum on your weigh ins :beer:
wish i could join you both in your successes but I failed and had my weigh in tonight and put on a lb this week. Have to admit to being a bit upset as I have been doing tons of exercise all week but I did go off the plan on NYE. I guess over the the two weeks- xmas and new year i only put on 1 1/2 but I really need to start seeing some results .

Anyway onto a new week now .

Hi

I have just read the last few pages on this thread & was hoping I would be welcomed into your group.

I do S/W & get weighed every monday - I have just gone back this week & have found I have put on 11.5lb in the last 3wks :eek: .

I have hit the ground running since yesterday morning & am doing the old plan mainly green days. I would like to use this as help on finding meal ideas as I tend to stick to the same things each week & also for support. I am gonna post my menu for today -

Breakfast - crunchy bran (HEB) milk (HEA) banana (free)

Lunch - pasta salad with red onion, cherry toms, cucumber, peppers, sweetcorn, kidney beans & butter beans with fat free salad dressing

Dinner - quorn lasagne (free,HEA/B & 3syns) HM spicy wedges

Snacks - Kiwi, muller yoghurt

Good luck to everyone else on the thread

XXXXX

Welcome! Look forward to reading your menus!:T:beer:

Right....my day has gone as follows

Brekkie - alpen light bar (usually porridge, but have run out)
Lunch - jacket spud n beans and vlf yoghurt
Dinner - HM lentil soup (stock cube, 1 syn)

Cups of tea and lots of water

No room for anything else, but looking at what you all eat, I'm worried I'm not having enough

Can you experts advise please

Burlesque_Babe

that's not much really spud unless you have piled your plate up with a couple of potatoes and a huge bowl of sout and only 1 syn

No, I didnt pile my plate up. It was a school dinner, so kid sized 'tato n beans

I did have a huge bowl of soup though, but I make it myself so no fat at all, just a syn for the stock cube.

Am I going wrong

Thank you do much for the fantastic recipies - keep em coming it makes life less boring trying something new and yummy!

Penguin - you must be really chuffed over your weight loss that amazing in just 8 weeks!

& well done to retired lady for still losing 2.5 over xmas - thats an achievement in itself!

Mickey Mouse - don't beat urself up too much - you've obvioously had a fab christmas and at the end of the day having fun is much more inmportant - you'll be fine next week xx

I'm addicted to bargains and went out and bought a slow cooker from the argos sale, it was only 33 quid and is digital make loads up to 6Litre capacity - so can make loads and freeze loads! link below if anyone intersted saved loads too!!!

I had stacks to eat yesterday and had a quick peak on scales this morning and still lost 1lb!

I made a lamb rogan josh from sw curry book yesterday in my new slow cooker the flavours were awesome the only thing was it was really waterey - has anyone got any ideas how to combat this - can you use arrowroot to thicken up sauces instead of cornflour? or is there something else you can do to avoid this happening.

I'm going to have a green day today for a change as I think I OD'd on meat yesterday!LOL!!!!

Meal plan for today

Brekkie
ww prune yoghurt
1 orange
plain omlette

lunch
potato hot pot

dinner
veggie curry
