I have no idea going by that how I lost 1.5lbs this week and am really worried it will show next week! So gonna up my exercise for the rest of the week and be super good about weeklies.

@Chinafoot: I actually cannot believe how awful those girls where you should go into the school and complain its awful to think they can act like that and be so ignorant clearly they need a lesson in common decency.
@Baileypants that apple crumble looks amazing how did you make it?
Well I had a pretty crap week food wise it started off good but I went away for the weekend and was eating well but the drink was a curse I ended up having a sneaky kebab and then on Monday a snack box :mad:. I had my WI today and my weight has stayed the same so im back on track this week need to keep focused and curve my cravings!!!

Ah stop... I lost 1.5lb this week and was really happy, but like you I went off the wall and had a KFC on Saturday... all I was thinking last night was maybe...just maybe if I hadn't eaten that bloody KFC or eating that ENTIRE bag of microwave popcorn I could have got my 5% this week.... alas... as it stands I am 1lb away from that and 5.5lb from my first stone... but I'm chipping away...
When I was on WW before I used to be raging with myself if I only lost 1lb or 0.5lb.... like it was a waste of a week but now I am just thinking that if i lose 1lb a week in 14 weeks I will have lost a stone and in less than a year I will have my goal.... after 26 years of putting weight on it really gets me motivated to think, this time next year it will all be gone. I have never felt this good about it....0 -
I know exactly what you mean Its really difficult to not eat the take aways especially when you are with people who want one. I just really dont want to keep quitting and then getting upset a few weeks later about my weight and starting the process all over again so i just have to get used to having alternative substitutes 0

Anytime I make a veg soup it doesn't turn out great, I don't like d butternut squash soup! Down 1.5 last night, half a pound more to go to having lost a stone and a half!! Bring it on:-) x
Hey Audi, I'm the same! My mixed veg soup turn out very boring I find. No I still have it everyday for my lunch in work to keep the points down. But would really like some tried and tested TASTY soups, even if they are 1 or 2 points per portions, I rather spend that on flavour, than 0 on blandness.
I made cauliflower soup for the first time this week funnily enough. It was nice enough I have to say, but I put loads of black pepper in it, which I love! Just in case you wanna try it.
Sautee an onion, a carrot, 2 sticks of celery and some garlic (if you like garlic) in some spray oil, or a tbsp olive oil for 1pp which I did. Then add a litre of chicken or veg stock and a head of cauliflower chopped up. I added a tbsp of mixed herbs for 1pp and a rake of salt and pepper. Then after 20mins of simmering blend. I added a half pint of slimline milk when blending to add creamyness for 2pp. Per portion worked out as 5 portions for 0pp each. Now they're small portions, so you could have 4 portions for 1pp each etc.

You can have your favorite take away - just at home. Find your favorite recipe online and make healthier substitutions for cream etc, point it and make your own. You'll feel so proud of yourself and have such a sense of achievement after you do 0 -
Folks a possible solution to our eating out problem could well be on the way They're considering putting the calories on the menus in restaurants. There's a survey you can fill in to give your view. One of the last question is what other info would you like and you can tick fat, protein etc.
Here's the link to the survey

By Jaysus Ali, if I don't lose a half a lb to nite & get my sliver seven I'll loose it!! :eek:
Now it'll be my own fault if I don't get it. I went over my weeklies by about 10 at the weekend, but I'm sure I made up for it during the days since. So looking at it over the week I should be fine, but I'm just not feeling it 0 -

Hi Tyler! Well this would certainly curb your cravings if you know you can look forward to it later on, well that's what I find.
Very easy & soooo tasty. I posted it on my blog below. Well worth it. Enjoy ;-)

Baileypants where did you get your lean mince for your lasagne? Would you have the nutritional info for it?
Also for all you bakers is there any low fat butter that would work for pastry? Would flora work? Also what flour is best? Sorry about all the qs I'm in a baking/cooking mood 0
