Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!

MMmmmmmm

I am just after my tea as I had to go see Dh's gran earlier. Feels really late tp be eating. I had bacon & eggs.

Am now having a nice fruit salad made up of:

Fresh pineapple, strawberries, grapes, kiwi & passionfruit! The passionfruit were on offer in my local Tesco for 25p each!! Delicious!

AlphaLolly · 22/04/2007 23:02

Signing off soon, very tired x

BethAndHerBrood · 23/04/2007 08:10

Right then. Monday again. Fresh start. Again!!

Am just having my first cuppa of the day. I have brekkie when I come back from the school run. Fresh fruit this morning and maybe a yoghurt. Salad and cottage cheese for lunch, and pasta n sauce with some veggies for tea.

If you see me go in the kitchen for anything else, shoot me!!!

And no, it wasn't strawberry cheesecake, LOL, it was a "good for you" mandarin one. So at least it wasn't full fat!! (unlike me!)

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 16:03

mm I know that Monday feeling alright!

Have been working on coursework all day & feel like I need a huge blowout! But will try & hold off until after my weigh in on Wednesday night!

How's the Success Express going christie???

BethAndHerBrood · 23/04/2007 16:10

Well, I had a big bowl of salad for lunch. But instead of cottage cheese I had three cheese coleslaw and potato salad. Then I had a cream egg.

On a more positive note, I have made sausage casserole for the DC for tea, and might just have a bowl of that without the sausages! That makes it a green day as there's potatoes and beans in it, and I might chuck some pasta in it to pad it out.

Sparkler1 · 23/04/2007 16:28

Oh we are all doing well this week - NOT!!!
I am back on again today though. Been really good so far.
Have just made the smash pizza for the first time. Looks lovely although I only had full fat cheddar so it's lacking in cheese slightly. Will let you know what it takes like.

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 16:28

Can't you have the sausages as a HEb?

I have had fruit salad for brekkie & a mug shot & apple for lunch.

Dinner will be beef casserole with boiled spuds & brocolli! So that meat is my HEb & will count syns for the sauce in the casserole, there are 5.5 in the packet mix, but that's between 4 of us

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 16:29

Oh Sparkler, if it's nice will you post the recipe again as I can't find it!!!!

I also want Mars lemon drizzle cake for a friend of mine who does a lot of baking so I must get looking for that!!

ledodgy · 23/04/2007 16:34

Ok i'm trying to do success express today i've had bran flakes for breakfast, veg chilli made with quorn mince and a tin of baked beans on a third of my plate then a huge salad with my he cheese on top of the chilli it was lovely and i've made so much i'm going to have it for tea too! I feel really bloated today even though i've been really good I did eat 10 portions of fruit and veg yesterday though so think I may be
just full of wind!

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 16:36

Oh, I can sympathise the bloated fruit & veg feeling... I have never sh!t so much in my life ooopppsss sorry if TMI

Your chilli sounds lovely! Do you use mozarella? I only bought this yesterday for the first time & love it being so stringy!

ledodgy · 23/04/2007 16:38

The thing is I seem to be constipated I need a poo but can't go sorry tmi! Got crampy pains in my lower tummy too am starting to panic slightly as dp and I were a bit naughty last Saturday and didn't use anything iyswim

ledodgy · 23/04/2007 16:39

I sometimes use mozzereall but today i've used 28g of Cathedral city cheddar which I love as well i've only had one he B so i'll have the cheese again with my tea too.

ledodgy · 23/04/2007 16:39

*Mozzerella

ledodgy · 23/04/2007 16:39

I still spe
lt it wrong I give up!

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 16:44

My InLaws buy cathedral city cheese & say it's delicious!!!

oohh, how naughty? I'm afraid it's the TOTM for me atm so I am like a bear with a sore head, I feel like eating the cupboards out, but instead am forcing myself to eat fruit!!

Sparkler1 · 23/04/2007 16:44

am eating the pizza while I type and I have to say it's suprisingly not bad at all.

Need packet of original smash in a bowl add enough boiling water to make it into a dough consistency. Spray a baking try with fry light, add mix evenly over tray to make pizza base. Bake for 10 mins until crispy. Add passata, mushrooms, peppers, onion and top with cheese.
Put back in oven until ready.

It's all free except the cheese should be used as a healthy A. I used enough cheese for two people so I knew I'd get half. I've just had a quarter of it and it was quite filling.

Yum!

I've been good apart from about 72 syns worth of wine with friends on friday I have also developed a habit where I break off a tiny piece of easter egg as I walk past them and eat it, telling myself it's only a tiny bit.....by weigh in on Wednesday i'll have ate a whole bloody egg!

BethAndHerBrood · 23/04/2007 17:40

I've made pizza with the potato base before, it was in a magazine, wasn't it? I used "proper" mash though, as I didn't have smash in. I don't think I've ever had smash, actually? Is it nice?

I don't think you can use sausages as a HEB, can you? As they are a meat product and not meat(?)

fireflyfairy2 · 23/04/2007 17:43

Oh... that might be why I don't lose as much as I think I should have some weeks, as if we have beef sausage I count it as beef & a HEb Oh, I am daft aren't I?

I have a pomegrante in the fruit bowl for after dinner, I can't remember if I have eaten one of those before, what is it nice with?

Might get dh to make some rice pudding after din

BethAndHerBrood · 23/04/2007 17:50

OMG!!! Rice pud with pomegranite bits in!!! That sounds divine!! Can I come for pudding?? Please??
