i got rite to the front!

ive been to a lotta lotta giga before...but hell i think that was one of the best ever!!

Hey harley, sounds awesome!

Gnocchi is (for 2 hungry people or 3 lunching ladies, serve with salad)
fry 1 finely chopped red onion
about 6 white chopped white mushrooms
2 gammon steaks (I think I actually had something called 'bacon chops')
until cooked
boil a packet of gnocchi until they float
drain the gnocchi
put the bacon etc into gnocchi pan
put in either a packet of boursin or some philadephia light stuff, any kind of soft cheese with garlic and herbs in
stir until cheese makes a nice sauce
yum

OOh Trill that sounds fab, thanks.

I tried to make gnocchi from scratch once, just ended up with a pan of boiling sloppy mush! I buy it ready made now.

Does anyone think Harley may have had a good time last night? I am not sure.......

morning all -

BOF - what a horrible time you had - hope DD & you got some rest and things are easier today.

DIB - I mentioned before (to the sound of tumbleweed blowing around the thread) that I tried the south beach diet a while ago. It worked amazingly well for me though it wasn't in any way easy.

I can't really do it now as I'm still breast feeding...but in 2 weeks I lost loads of weight and once I'd gone onto phase 2 it really was just healthy eating and I continued to lose weight. It isn't quite as hardcore as Atkins and therefore I was slightly more comfortable with it. If you can take a look at it I would recommend it and when I stop breast feeding I'm going to do it again.

Interviews again today. If anyone bothers to prepare as much as shiney did they'll be in with a good chance

im on gumtree tryin to get a ticket for dublin tonite.....my boss and my ex will be so pleased

blimey harley - can I live vicariously through you? - I live such a boring life!

External databses that are in America not not working, so I can't do the stuff I want to for the (brought forward) meeting this afternoon.

I was going to show them clever things...

harley - so at Green Day!! Wow is all i can say...... wow!

BOF, hope you ok hun, and you too Shiney - hope the worry over childcare isnt take the shine off the new job

Me - i have also tried Atkins in the past, didnt reaally work, but i dont think i was following it properly

So, weigh in today. Stood on scales after making my excuses - time of the month, no exercise etc etc and nurse tells me i have put 1kg on

I was about ready to burst into tears ( I had really wound myself over this) and she says, "oh, i was looking at the wrong one - you have lost 4kgs"

That takes me to having lost 3 stone 3 since July

Trills - hope they get sorted!

Woohoo Jet, that is an amazing weightloss!
Especially since you were worried that you'd not lost anything, well done you

thanks Lizzy - to say i am amazed is an understatment! That will teach me to use my dodgy scales!

Phew! Well done Jet!

What's 4 kilos? 8.8 pounds. In how long? Is it every 4 weeks? That's prefectly respectable, especially since you felt you could have been eating better. If you were doing food focus you'd know that 2 lbs a week is 1000 calorie deficit every day. As you get smaller the weightloss will get slower, since it'll take less energy to carry your new svelte self around your day-to-day activities.

lol Trills - me, svelte

for each 4 weeks, i have lost

18 lbs
8 lbs
11 lbs
8 lbs

so i am tending to have a good month, then a poorer month, but the nurse says that is ok.

To be honest, i havent been using the Lord as much as i was at the start - i think i am learning what i can eat and what to avoid etc.

Am really going to try this next 4 weeks though, as i am determined not to be that scared that i havent lost anthing again

Eek! That's amazing Jet

Will look at the South Beach Diet, hells. I've heard good things about it, but I know that Atkins works, iyswim?

Afternoon all

BOF - i hope things have calmed down today, sounds very scary.

JET - Yay!!!!

Harleyd - sounds like you may have enjoyed yourself Very good exercise too.

The baby making has started!!!! Such a chore....

IS that why you're only here now Alice, been busy all morning ?

...

hello

Wow indeed jet, that is pretty impressive stuff.

I have had 2 bowls of special k today (1 for breakfast and one for lunch but they were different varieties so that is OK) a mandarin yoghurt, 3 cups of tea AND I did a 45 min power walk.

I have also royal iced 300,000,000 [hyperbole] ghosts, spiders, bats and spider bodies.

i may have eaten some of the icing that oozed out all over my fingers, but as everyone knows there are no calories in such things.

Fabulous Jet, that is amazing, you must be so proud of yourself.
