SLIMMING WORLD 2007 - Thread 3. Fresh thread, fresh start, we will look good for summer!!

[BethAndHerBrood]

Right. Here we are again.

Good luck ladies, I certainly need it!!!

I am completely writing this week off. I have been soooooo bad. But I've enjoyed it. But now it's only a day to weigh in, I feel crap! Why am I so easily led, and why can I not say no? I've put loads on, I can tell by my clothes. I feel like I'm going round in circles all the time. I seem to be sticking at the same few pounds, going up and down like a bride's nightie.

So much for a new start.

TMMJ wow thats excellent..well done you despite the cake

I am really nervous as tommorow night is my weigh in. Thing is I have been really good so will be gutted if it isnt a decent amount.

Nemo - good luck for th weigh-in tomorrow - you will be fine as you sound like you have been really focused!

I have been fairly good today - getting into the swing of things slowly - missing bread - I must eat too much and it is a waste to use both b options as bread!

Well done to TMMJ for your 3 lbs - I would like that next week please!

Beth - you sound like me in the past - I must have spent a fortune on various slimming clubs over the years to lose the same stone - kept putting it on, losing a bit, but a bit back on, then lose a bit - each time ending up a few pounds heavier than when I started! I am trying to lose the last half stone of baby weight (DS is 14 weeks and a little love!!) before I tackle the next few stones. Just taking it a 1/4 of a stone at a time, and intend to reward myself with none-food treats for each mini milestone reached! Sounds good in theory but need to put it in practice - also need to up the exercise as well - pram pushing at least 3 times a week!!

TMMJ have been to Sw a few times in the past and WW..lol I have just been exceptionally good this time and am hoping I stay that way where I know if I only loose 1lb then I will loose heart!

mmm if only..lol

In an effort to be more focused and less likely to stray I am attempting to make a menu plan for the next few weeks. Main meals really, I can easily find something to eat during the day. I like green, DH likes a bit of meat occasionally! I'm starting with nemo's DH's eggy rice, what else that's different from wedges and beans??

I've been trying to find the recipe for the eggy rice on sw online, but i can't find it! Can someone (nemo??) either give me an idiots guide to finding it, or tell me how to do it? Thanks.

will find it for you now beth

Did the free bolognaise last night which was quite good. Then used pasta as HE.

I feel ill today which is making me crave everything I shouldnt have from KFC to dominoes...arghhh...just trying to hold of doing something rash!!!

1. Egg fried rice

Chop a small onion and fry in Fry Light until softened. Add garlic and fry for a further couple of minutes. Add a beaten egg and scramble around with the onion and garlic. When cooked through add 283g/10oz cooked brown rice (much nicer and more filling than white in this dish), 71g/2½oz of frozen peas and a good splash of light soy sauce. Stir fry until the peas are cooked through. Can be eaten cold or reheated in the microwave.

Hint: Also nice with mushrooms or 170g prawns (6 Syns or a Healthy Extra b choice on Green)

Total Syns: Green: FREE, Original: 22½ Syns

Hello everyone

Lovely bright shiny new thread

Sorry I have been AWOL the past couple of weeks. I have had a bad time & filled it all in with food

weigh-in tonight & I know I have gained about 5lb

All my own fault of course, I have eaten nothing healthy over the last few weeks as the week I had gained half a pound I had been so good & been to gym & spin classes etc....

Anyway. Lots of new names, welcome
