    Hi everyone,
    Couldn't afford to go to WI for the last two weeks! I'd say I've sts, definately haven't lost weight anyway :(
    My friend is home for the summer now, so hopefully she will make me committ to going for a walk/run every evening.

    Definately going to make those muffins, Lainy, I've been threatening for way too long now. Gonna get the ingredients this weekend. Hope everyone else is doing well.

    Okay I'm going to lose this weight next week (up one, down two, up one) is getting very annoying! Just had a bran muffin there and a cup of black coffee, and I'm really full.. I've made the muffins Lainy but now I see there's no splenda in that one you just posted! Just brown sugar.. To be honest I prefer that and wonder is that why the last ones didn't rise as well as they ought to have.. Maybe the brown sugar and splenda was too much! I sifted twice and gently folded and they were nice, I'm s
    till eating them from freezer, but I'm going to make them again to try and improve them.. I'm having little cramps today so maybe my leader was right about my pound gain! Think it may be a phantom period! Still unsure of my body, having a hysterectomy at 34 has put me all over the place, and I'm not sure what's normal or what to expect anymore.. I'd love to hear if anyone else is in the same boat and if ye have any tips for me.. On another subject my husband is taking my cross trainer out of the garage this evening..I'm going to fit in a half hour no matter how much I don't want to... It's time to take control;)

    yeah thats the ORIGINAL recipe from the cook book i just posted
    I've tweaked it and changed it a few times.... experimenting....less sugar is always better for us in cooking...so took out some sugar...swopped it for splenda...but trying now to take out the splenda altogether...and just leave it at the 40g of sugar....

    like 60g of sugar in 6 muffins...thats 10g of SUGAR per muffin...thats kinda a lot....especially as we're trying to lose weight....

    I'm no expert when it comes to cooking and baking....trial & error!

    I'm spending the day making them tomorrow....going to try blueberries again, and raspberries...and have a few soft bananas that need using up too. So will have at least 3 batches of 6

    Sorry hun, It sounds like you're working so hard so it's obviously gutting not to shift anything. Have you got all your past trackers? Maybe you could take your best week and try and replicate it and see if that makes any difference? Worth a shot I'd imagine.

    I think we're all having a tough week this week. I'm getting my crosstrainer delivered today so going to really push myself this week to try and get a decent loss next week. I had 1lb up yesterday too but I'll just concentrate on the 8.5 down that I've accomplished so far :)

    Good Luck this week.
    Thanks Chick, its going to be hard this wkend to be good tho, have a surprise party ion sat and im doing it! Be up the walls all day making things and then the temptation of stuff, im actually pretty good at resisting tho!! Going to be good all week, have a few drinks and point everything sat!
    8.5 is brill, well done you! Im going to try and pick up the amount of times i go spinning too, could help!!!

    Thanks so much ladylainey, that's all fab, really what I was looking for.
    I made three soups today...chicken, chick & noodle and veg with some beans. I was sick of the zero point one, all these have loads of veg in them. I put two spoons of kidney/aduki beans in each portion (a point a spoon seemingly) to bulk to out so each portion is only two points now. I pointed the chicken too and it made 8 portions (four with noodles, four without) So each of the soups is either 2,3 or 4 points. I've a freezer full but I suppose no excuse now!

    Lost 1 lb this week - thats 2 stone in 10 weeks - delighted!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Monife


    Down 1lb tonight :D:D

    Very happy with that as I did not do one iota of exercise this week (bold I know but was very busy). Ate quite well all week apart from a bread attack (7 slices throughout the day :eek: ) on Sunday because had nothing in the house.

    Hope I dont go and ruin it next week as have very busy weekend, busiest in a long time. Staff BBQ (booze up really) on Friday and a friends birthday party in a house on Saturday so weeklies will be consumed twice over in alcohol but going to try and do a bit of exercise and eat well all the other days.

    Didn't lose anything this week.. But it was to be expected! Was on a hen weekend and went a bit mad..

    Ya know what I was thinking earlier, they should create a tracker app for iPhone. Or does one exist that I can't find?

    Hi
    I was sick as a pig all last night don't know what was wrong,was the same this morning i was weak as a kitten and very stiff,i taught i was coming down with something bad.
    Had been in the gym for the last 10 days straight so i gave it a miss this morning and had a few slices of toast my first bread in nearly 7 weeks it worked a treat,i think i was only run down.
    So i relaxed for the day and did not worry to much about what i was eating,i had lovely fillet steak with onions,mushrooms,pepper sauce and mash for dinner and i still managed to stay within my points for the day.:)All ready for a work out tomorrow evening,it will be only 4 days at the gym from now on :o

    Well done to everyone on the loses

    I'll stick up the bolognase recipie.

    It's made with quorn but I can guarantee you 100% that you will not be able to taste the difference once it's in the sauce. I didn't believe it until I tried it!


    Chop up an onion, carrot and a stalk of celery. Fry with a bit of spray oil on a low heat for ten minutes.

    Then add in one packet of quorn mince, two crushed cloves of garlic, one large tin of chopped tomatoes, half a tube of tomato puree and a beef stock cube made up with only 75mls of water.

    Bring this to the boil and then turn down the heat and leave it to simmer for 20 minutes. Add some basil or parsely and season with salt and pepper if needed. This makes six servings, working out at 2pp each or if you use extra lean mince it will be 5pp. (but trust me when I say you cannot taste the difference with the quorn!) Really simple but really tasty!!

    And let's face it, when we're trying to lose weight it's best to use fresh ingredients, not pre prepared jars of sauce.

    Thanks Lizt, I made this on Tuesday evening for my family, using the 500g bag of quorn and I loved it.. The kids ate it but thought I'd done a different sauce, I always make my own sauces anyway.. My husband who used to be a butcher said he'd never have known it wasn't mince! We got 5 portions and I've one left in the fridge for myself tonight.. I also made the ceasar salad she gave us the recipe for, and it was divine;)
