So its not the worst hahaha
Ah the worst I ever heard was the little black doggy my granny got as a child - he peed all over the floor so her mammy called him WeeWee, and of course the name stuck. :pac:
Although when she bought him first he was called by a certain racist name for black people - you just gotta love the thirties eh? :eek:0 -

So I was just going through a load of my PMs there (inbox was full and had to delete them all) and I just want to say that you girls (and guys) are really quite the legends!
I know that I don't post here much and I tend to just moan and be miserable when I do but I'll always lurk and I always appreciate how lovely you girls are to me when I need it and to everyone else.
We really have a proper little caring community here

Ryvita and ca boiled egg for breakfast. *frown* Seems like a tiny portion... Also: I want a potato. Knowing I have to give up my precious spuds fills me with dread.
Ahh, potatoes... boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew... *eyes glaze over*

McChubbin it's surprising how filling eggs are - they're great for breakfast as they keep you going for a few hours. Good luck with your new healthy eating - the first week is always the toughest
Ladies (and gents) can I ask you something - we are trying to pick out options for our wedding menu. For the main course there will be a choice of 2. One is sea bass. For the other we are split between roast lack of lamb or sirloin steak. My fiancé would like to go for the lamb as its a little different but I think the beef or fish cliche is there for a reason - it appeals to most people. So if you were at a wedding and your options were sea bass or roast rack of wicklow lamb with potato and chorizo gratin, wilted spinach leaves, rosemary and black olive jus, would you be disappointed? Would you think it was strange?? Any help is mucho appreciated!!
I think the lamb, it has a bit more wow factor. But I don't really like sea bass, so I'd make lamb and steak the two options

Tried Weightwatchers and Slimming World and I can honestly say they don't work. It is all too tempting to basically starve yourself for the sake of racking up points to splurge on. Not good, nope-nope.
I have never tried slimming world, but I did weightwatchers 2 years ago for 5 months and lost 1stone 12 lbs. I stopped going because my life got so chaotic, but still followed the basic rules, I guess, portion size and drinking a lot of water, and went about 4 months later for 2 weeks. I had gained 1.5lbs and lost half a pound, and didn't go back. 63 weeks later, I joined again, and had gained back 6lbs of what I lost originally. I had been on 2 holidays, drinking every weekend, christmas and started taking the pill, and managed to keep 1 stone 5lbs off.
I love weightwatchers. It isn't for everybody, Im sure, but for me it works. I think when you're preparing your own meals and actually counting whats in each food, it makes you so much more aware of what you are putting into your body. I know it's going to take a while for me to be where I want to be, but Im working towards it and I know I will get there, because it isn't a race, and Im happy enough to lose it slowly and keep it off, learning to adjust my attitude to food, rather than lose it super quickly, and gain it all back.
Best of luck with your motivation diet!! I am so curious to see if you find it good/sucessful. 0 -
Personally, I don't eat either meat. But if I had to choose, I would go for the beef because when I did eat lamb, the smell of "sheep" off it used to put me right off. If that were my options I wouldn't be disappointed, as the rest of the food (with potato and chorizo gratin, wilted spinach leaves, rosemary and black olive jus) sounds amazing - I'd just ask for it without the meat!angeldelight wrote: »Polloloca best of luck for your weigh in!

I'd go with the lamb, personally. When is your wedding, angeldelight?
1st September
Thank you so much for all the replies. I was trying not to be swayed by personal preferences as lamb is my favourite meat so I wanted to get a few more opinions. Thanks ladies, think the lamb might win out! Threer will be a hidden veggie option too for any vegetarians or non meat eaters at the wedding so hopefully most people will be catered for0 -

I'd love rack of lamb, but it is so expensive, around €15 for it in my local butchers
Last time I cooked it on Paddy's day, I want an excuse to have it again.0 -

I always order steak/lamb/beef etc because chicken and seabass are the cheapest things for kitchens to buy in and I can easily cook them at home myself so I always go for something special I can't ever justify ordering the chicken option for €15-17 for a main, chicken fillets are so cheap! Our choices for main are steak, salmon and chicken, it was steak or seabass on the original package menu but seabass being the "chicken" of the sea option and my family being big foodies who dealt in seafood for years we asked for salmon instead, the hotel offered to give the third option of chicken too, course they did, when people order chicken they get the biggest profit off that
I'd go for the lamb every time angeldelight, yum!0
