Breakfast: 2 pieces wholemeal toast, 2 eggs, 1 veggie sausage, beans
Lunch: mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto and fried (2 HEA + 3 syns), tomato and basil with balsamic
Dinner: probably pasta with tomato sauce
Snacks- nectarines and 50g halo top sea salt caramel
Usually eat more fruit and veg than this though! And typically graze on fruit all evening
TigerJoy · 09/07/2019 16:17
Yesterday was nectarines with yoghurt / tuna nicoise salad (syns for black olives and olive oil in homemade dressing) / pasta and broccoli (cooked 400g broccoli and 250g pasta together, drain and toss in 1 tbsp of olive oil in which I had browned garlic and chilli, served 2)
Blondeshavemorefun · 09/07/2019 17:55
I’ve just eaten my weight in strawberry’s. Went strawberry picking with my 2yr at local farm
Least all free :)
@tiger the mozerella sounds yummy
TigerJoy · 09/07/2019 19:37
I have been eating my own weight in strawberries and nectarines! I'm so glad to have something sweet to munch on and avoid the chocolate.
Mozzarella thing is an invention of my sister, but it's a brilliant quick meal. The liquid that comes out of the cheese can dress the salad as well.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/07/2019 00:05
I don’t mind overnight oats - haven’t done for a while but I don’t get why so many people rave about them
It still amazes me and df (soon to be dh) hence back on sw - that I can eat 3 huge meals and lose weight
He took the piss out of my potato bacon onion gratin thing earlier then smelt it and said smelt amazing so gave him some. He said yummy
But can’t get over how much freefood there is
TigerJoy · 11/07/2019 06:27
I know. It's the pasta and potatoes that get me. I thrive on carbs and I think all the other diets where I've had to seriously restrict them might be the reason I've not managed to stick to them.
My DH has been thrilled with the meals so far, and for once we're both eating the same thing, which is going to make sticking to it longterm much, much easier for me.
TigerJoy · 11/07/2019 06:28
Can I have the potato onion bake thing recipe please?
Blondeshavemorefun · 11/07/2019 08:37
It’s so simple and yummy potato onion bacon and layer in slices. Pot on stock - cover with foil and cook for an hour
Some add cheese but it’s nice without
Sometimes I add Thin slices Carrots as well
