I so want to try Haggis. I am one of these weird people that actually enjoys offal (love stuffed hearts and liver & bacon risotto)

well done on the losses! I am weighing in Sunday....

bebejones · 27/01/2012 18:32

I quite like Haggis (my first cat was called Haggis....we didn't eat him!) but I also like Liver, Kidneys etc. Can't do Black Pudding though, yuk!

Well done on losses girlies.

Welcome back Blondes.

I WI monday, I am not hopeful, had a bad week...again! Blush

prettybird · 27/01/2012 19:17

We never think of haggis as offal - it's more like a spicy mince with added barley to pad it out. A good one should be moist and spicy (but not hot spicy).

I'll admit to liking chicken livers and devilled kidney and will occasionally have lamb's liver - but that's about the only (other) offal that I eat.

Smokinaces - the M&S Limited Edition haggis is very good if you can get hold of it down south (they only tend to have it in around Burns Night and St Andrews Night.

Alternatively, the Lidl one is very good - but I doubt it'll be stocked down south.

It's a really good value meal - the M&S one is £4.99 for 908g ( serves 4 very generously) while the Lidl one (454g) is only 99p at the moment (down from £1.29).

smokinaces · 27/01/2012 19:46

Ooooh may have to have a trip to Lidl and M&S just in case.......

Chicken livers are lovely lightly fried in wholegrain course mustard and served with bacon sprouts.

bebe the best Black Pudding I ever had was in Bolton. Bloody lovely. Like everything though, you cant overcook it or bleurgh.

smokinaces · 27/01/2012 19:47

And I was going so well today food wise until I just had a nobbly bobbly ice lolly and a kit kat. Darnit. Feeling rubbish though, think I am getting DS2s stonking cold. Was in bed asleep at 9.30 last night, and about to have a cuppa and head off at a similar time tonight.

prettybird · 27/01/2012 20:12

You'll need to look tomorrow, on the basis that some Burns' Suppers are held on the closest Saturday.

Failing that, I'll have to bring one down in July Smile.

Smalline · 28/01/2012 16:37

half a lb off this week, I'm finding it really hard to lose weight at the moment, too much driving and not much walking being done, but that's just the way it is at the moment, roll on the warmer/longer daysSmile. I realised this morning that I really didn't appreciate being a stone or so lighter, was always striving for the next lb or the next half a stone, now I am back to nearly where I startedBlush I am going to make an effort to appreciate it more.

bebejones · 30/01/2012 10:08

STS :(

Must try harder!!

GettinTrimmer · 01/02/2012 10:05

You and me both with a stonking cold smokin. I am coming out of mine now thankfully. Hope you are better soon.

bebe well done on sts anyway.

I have had an awful few days with food, I blame the stonking cold! Dd's party food, and just general not being very focused at all.

Today is better though. I hope for a sts this week.

smokinaces · 01/02/2012 16:13

Well the cold has never developed though the sneezing is relentless! And dodgy chicken Sunday has meant I was v v ill and only just coming out of it now.

prettybird · 01/02/2012 20:43

Sorry you've both been I'll.

Smokin - that means you should be posting a loss then this week?! WinkGrin

GettinTrimmer · 01/02/2012 21:23

Have fallen off the wagon big time here. Bloody cold!! It did something to my willpower.

Sorry you've been poorly smokin.

smokinaces · 02/02/2012 19:49

Probably not, the only thing i could keep in was toast! Hoping for a sts, weighing in Sunday x

prettybird · 03/02/2012 18:14

Will have to postpone weighing in as the battery in my scales has finally given up the ghost (to be fair, it's been trying to tell me for a while!).

At best it'll be an STS as I've had bad attacks of the munchies this this week BlushSad

GettinTrimmer · 04/02/2012 09:01

I didn't wi yesterday at my sw group. Had a very bad week. I know I should wi but am leaving it till next week. Have a good excuse though, was volunteering at school doing painting!

Going to the gym soon for my induction Smile and zumba tomorrow evening. Then planning on aerobics on Tuesday. Hoping to reverse any damage done by next week.

Did anybody wi? Piste will be along at some time to slap my wrists!....

smokinaces · 04/02/2012 20:47

Weighed in this morning. 10st 12 - so 1/2lb down. Happy with that. Got big ball next Saturday so going to be super good this week simply as dress is quite skimming and want to make sure my stomach isnt bloated!

GettinTrimmer · 10/02/2012 10:04

Is anybody else wi this week?

My first wi for 2 weeks. I have gained 3lb Blush Sad all my own fault. No exercise and feeling a bit poorly.

At least I faced up to it

prettybird · 10/02/2012 14:33

12at 3lb for me - a loss of 1lb Smile

I'll update the list when I'm on a pc.

Not been particularly good but HAVE been keeping up the Shred. Day 6 of Level 3 today Grin.

prettybird · 10/02/2012 20:08

Meant to say to Piste - so that means we need to watch out for avalanches or other extreme weather or geological events in Colorado next week then?! WinkGrin

Smalline · 11/02/2012 11:52

Weighed in at 12st 12lbs this morning so another 1lb off this week.

bebejones · 11/02/2012 12:03

Watch out Colarado!! Wink Have a lovely time Piste!

Hoping for a loss on Monday, although more likely to be STS again!

Well done Smalline & Pretty :)

Don't worry Trimmer, it'll come off again soon enough. We all know how easy it is to gain! Plenty of water will flush that 3lbs away! Wink
