Last night was the first Sunday night in AGES where I didn't go nuts on chocolate
I really want to do well this week and I've decided that it's when I'm tired and sitting on the couch that I find myself reaching for it. So last night, I just took myself off to bed - feel great now! :D 0 -
Gave ReadyBrek a try today, and a bit disappointed to be honest. Really wanted to like it as you all say how fab and filling it is. I think it's just the texture, I don't like sloppy things. Annoyed now, have a whole box of it and nothing else for breakfast for the week

I don't like readybrek at all i would prefer to have porridge in mornings i have tried it a few times but it doesn't keep me as full as the porridge.Gave ReadyBrek a try today, and a bit disappointed to be honest.

What were you having for breakfast before you tried the readybrek ?0 -

Yeah I always have a half a banana on top of my cereal. Do you think I would like Wheatabix if I don't like readybrek or porridge? Don't want to waste any more money. I have fruit salad and yoghurt on the weeks I am trying to be super good but it can get boring after a while, need some form of carb ha ha and also, sometimes I find it is too much for the morning, you know when your not that hungry but you're forcing yourself to eat because you know you will be hungry later, and I often dont finish it.
hiya, I am not a Readybrek fan either, it reminds me of the glue I use when I do crafty stuff with my kids :eek: I love oats and I am a big fan of weetabix.....I know some of the supermarkets like Tesco sell a single portion pack of weetabix (normally where you find the tiny boxes of rice crispies etc) so you could maybe sample it before you buy it?
I try to vary my brekkies as well cause its soooo boring otherwise, I switch between oats, weetabix, rice crispies and corn flakes and then have yougurt and fruit as well.
after fudgegate
over the weekend I am on the straight and narrow today......brought in my already pointed brekkie and lunch to work and have printed off the C25K workout so I am gonna give that a whirl tonite :cool: 0 -

lol reading all the readybrek posts...while eating a big bowl of it....i love the stuff :P to make it less goopy just use less milk...
40g readybrek + 150ml skimmed milk + dash of cinnemon = 5pp
I switched to readybrek cos its much cheaper than the particular flavhans I like. The one in the round tube....dont care what anyone says....its a different texture to flavhans in the bag...the oats are rolled/crushed in a different way.
but its like 3 euro a tube....and i pay 3 euro for the readybrek but it lasts twice as long lol0 -

Hi Monife, I agree, don't like readybrek. Porridge too, I used to eat but gone off it totally. Weatbix is a better option. 2 biscuits is 3pp and quite filling, I top it with banana, sweetener and a few raisins.
Toast with an egg is a good option. If you want to try a porridge option , the Aldi harvest morn instant oat sachets ( the orange box with Syrup) is lovely. If I remember correctly it is 3pp per sachet, and very nice!0 -
Downloaded a podcast for this couch to 5k ...is it achievable?i can't imagine me managing it
i think it is cause it starts you off slow and builds you up to the 'big event' I am gonna give it a go and am starting tonite, it gives me a goal to work towards which will motivate me to get up on the old treadmill!!! 0 -

Monife, I was the exact same at first. I had a total mental block about ready break/porridge or anything with that kinda consistency.
But 30g of corn flakes was just too miserable and I was hungry again by 11.
We had loads of sachets of porridge in work, left over from a promotion so I decided to try it and I'm hooked now. I crave it on the weekends even.
I use loads of milk and just half a teaspoon of sugar on mine and I find it grand. I can't eat it if it's too dry. I can't add fruit to it, it just doesn't seem right to me, but my sis adds everything under the sun and my mum adds seeds and stuff.
Maybe try a few different combinations this week as you have the box anyway and don't want to waste it.
Me too! haha! Have a boring meeting that will probably go on till lunch time now so needed something that will keep me going.Lady Lainy wrote: »lol reading all the readybrek posts...while eating a big bowl of it....i love the stuff :P to make it less goopy just use less milk...

Happy Monday everyone.
Very nervous about weigh in today, though I have been drinkings LOTS of water on the advice from here so I'll be devasted if I don't see some sorta loss.
I've realigned my expectations. I'm not even looking for a HUGE loss after the last 2 weeks, I'd settle for a half a pound
Best of luck to everyone for a good week!!!0 -
Treasa good luck today at WI
Ha all this talk about porridge! I thought I be smart and as I was supper hungry this morning, make it in the microwave while jiggling a crying baby on my hip! ruined two bowls of it
so back to the old way in a pot managed to burn the pot as well! oh well but it was worth it! made it with water and normally I add milk and I didn't bother with milk this morning and had it with just a bit or maple syrup and strawberries
yummy
does any one use a pedometer thing to count your steps, how many do you aim for! I surprised my self using one this morning Ive clocked up 10,000 this morning alone , had to ring the doc over baby arm his BCG is horrible it burst pus every were and hole in his arm looks worse than it is though! they had a cancellation and I had 22 minutes to get kids dressed and walk the 15 minute walk to doctor! I made it to the surgery in 10 minutes pushing a double buggy and its a 1km walk not bad for me prob crap really
I felt fine after it though! even the receptionist said I was very quick!
have a new DVD for Zumba going to give that a go!
Lainy Im so going to try the MAGGI thing! sounds yummy!0 -
Just re the breakfast cereals - have you tried the bran flakes? I use that and now bulk it out with strawberries and raspberries as they are all in season! Yum! (Though bran flakes not for everyone)
I was thinking of trying bran flakes I like saltana bran so im sure i would like them if i put chopped banana in with them cos i do that with corn flakes yummy and fills me up0 -

Just had a nice filling lunch of Fennel & Cauliflower soup, three salt & vinegar Rice Cakes & 35g of Tesco Extra Light Soft Cheese Was delish, although the Tesco variety of cheese is not as tasty as the Philadelphia, but what can I expect, it only cost about 80c
Have a bran muffin with me for the 3pm slump 0 -
