    morning all

    northernlass - hope you are feeling ok today. Whatever support we can give you, fire away and we'll be there.

    I'm going to go for a red day today. I had the shopping delivered yesterday and there is loads of meat which won't fit into the freezer so I think I might be having a couple of red days to eat it before it reaches it use by date. It's a bit of a pain because i'll probably end up having to replace it during the month quicker than if there had been room to put it in the freezer and have more rice/pasta/potatoes - ie cheaper!

    anyway, I'll see how I get on, I'm thinking of doing a mixed grill tonight.

    So far today

    2 oz cereal (hob x2)
    skimmed milk (hoa)
    banana x3

    quorn sausages
    tomatoes
    bacon
    eggs

    mullerlight
    3 mini babybel light (hoa)

    melon
    muller layers - 1.5 syns

    dinner will be mixed grill

    chicken breast
    pork chop
    low fat asda sausages (.5 syn each)
    eggs
    baked beans 200g- 8 syns
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Morning all.

    Well it's the weigh in tonight. Need to find out how much I've managed to get back off after my little gain.

    But I know one things at least... I got on the scales this morning and something has come OFF!!! (possibly very good to)

    Just hope it stays like that until 6.30 tonight!

    So food for the day:

    2 Weetabix +350ml skimmed milk topped with a banana (HE A + B)

    some pineapple

    spicy couscous (thanks Mr Harriot!) followed by yogurt, apple and aplen lite bar. (1/2 HA B)

    Maybe the satsuma that has been sat on my desk for a few days (but also maybe not!)

    Jacket pot with beans, cheese and quorn sausages (HE A)

    Then as much free food as I feel like snacking on.

    Does that sound ok?

    singlemum you should be pleased with a 1lb loss, as 1-2lb loss each week is perfect. If you lose weight too fast, you can lose lean muscle tissue which alters your metabolism, making it harder to lose at all.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
