BitOut Thanks! Yes I've gone past the point of denial which is a good thing I suppose! Will post after the deed has been done Grin

Fast day here so just a pack of super unappetising market cooked chicken blush It was really dry, I won't get that one again. DH had a lovely melty fish pie I made him, I was a tiny bit jealous

You are a much better person than I am Reaper.

When I'm on a fast day I feed them all rubbish

readyforsunshine · 30/03/2017 12:22

Thanks so much boop that's really kindSmile

BitOutOfPractice · 30/03/2017 12:37

Pleasure. It is so lovely. I hope you enjoy it

What curry paste do you usually use BOOP We are on Balti or Rogan Josh these days as the waitrose ones have no sugar in them.

BitOutOfPractice · 30/03/2017 12:55

It was balti paste I used. I put about a tablespoon in. It's even nicer the next day. The peanut butter gives a wonderful flavour but also a fabulous gloopy consistency. I'm having leftovers for lunch today Smile

Will have to omit the mushrooms as they are boaktastic in my book! I'll just replace with cauliflower though, Ilove cauliflower in a curry beyond all reason.

TVHubbyClaire · 30/03/2017 13:02

Good luck stew , remember this will be the worst day, it will be onwards and downwards from here!!

Squiffy01 · 30/03/2017 13:52

stew good luck!!

So all my fast days this week have failed. Really need to get my shy together.

April is my month!

BitOutOfPractice · 30/03/2017 13:58

Oh yes April will be the month for me.

HairsprayBabe · 30/03/2017 14:15

I don't have much social stuff planned in April so I like to think it could be the beginning of the end.... not sure what I will do when im done, I will be shoved over to maintainers bench and off the thread?!

BitOutOfPractice · 30/03/2017 15:04

No Hairspray you'll be awarded a slenderista lifetime achievement award and forced to stay on the thread in perpetuity

Just had mushroom soup for lunch but it's actually not a soup day. It's boiling

HappyFlappy I'll let you in on a secret: whilst we were having building works done I stayed mostly with my parents and made DH meals in bacofoil trays to keep in the freezer for him to microwave during the week. I got quite a stash going, and I've decided to keep that up now I'm back in the house so he can forage if I have to unexpectedly go away / am out, and more importantly so I can't be tempted on Fast Days Grin

I am jealous of that thread BOOP, I wish I were not allergic to peanuts!

Hairspray YOU MUST STAY. I'm staying, anyway - maintenance is going to be rough, I really need this thread in order to stay on the straight and narrow!

Speaking of which, I've just weighed and am 700g off my target! 200g lower than my All Time Low Since The Diet Began. I'm also in a dress from the Skinny Bag and the world's most giant sucky-inny pants Grin It is suuuuuch sloooooow progress this close to target.

QuimReaper · 30/03/2017 15:58

StewPots how'd you get on?

Also where the heck is Arsey?

StewPots · 30/03/2017 17:33

Hello ladies...well the scales have me at 14st 10lb so not quite the 15 I was dreading but not far off...

Have SW KFC chicken with salad for tea and been good today food wise, no snacks although I did have a pint Shock

Onwards and upwards! Hard to do when we have family visiting though!

lastqueenofscotland · 30/03/2017 17:45

Onwards and downwards stew!

It's brave taking the first step! Best of luck.

BitOutOfPractice · 30/03/2017 18:25

Well done Stew - that was the hardest bit.

I was more than that when I started Blush

I did an intense circuits class today. I came last in every running exercise. I am not as fit as I thought. Piece of garbage I am. Sad
