I always feel bloated if I have bread, if I have branflakes and prunes for breakfast then it helps my digestive system if you know what I mean and it stops me feeling bloated

Hope this helps

Keep it up guys

Hi Sammie

don't mind at all you are very well. all info and help is very much appreciated!

I would love to be able to eat prunes but they have a rather bad effect on me! LOL

Lol! Well in that case forget the prunes I can only suggest reducing bread haha
Iv known others that get bloated eating bread too but it's so yummy I love a good sandwich but try to only have bread 2or 3 times a week not everyday or I can't do up my jeans and feel like michellin man haha

Slept a lot better last night, only have probs occasionally. Are you doing EE? Have you got your starter pack yet? I have ordered a book from ebay, just recipes and got it for £10 so not too bad.
Hope your tap dance class was good, you're doing better than me on the exercise front!!
I am feeling very fat and bloated today, jeans feel tight - have not strayed from plan at all.......
Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow, do you go in the evenings?
Have a good evening

Hi

Glad you slept better! Its horrible not being able to sleep.

I have done a whole chicken in my slow cook pot several times, it comes out really tender and just falls off the bone. you do not need to put much water in with it, I usually just put about 100ml but if you are going to do veg in with it put some more in or the veg go a bit dry on the top.

I am doing EE with a couple of green days thrown in. I am not going to a class as I do not have the time, I have paid for online Gold support (That is why I started this thread for extra support and info and people to talk about SW with.), so I got the started pack in the post on Wednesday with an other copy of this months Mag, so now have two mags! LOL



I weigh in on a Friday morning - lost 3lb this week. which I know is good but was slightly disappointed that it was not 4lb to get to the 13st mark!

Don't know why you would be so bloated, I take charcoal tablets when I am bloated this disperses any excess wind that may be trapped. I get them from the health food shop. Sammies idea of bran flakes and prunes could work...........

Tap was good fun, being doing it for about 3 years now. We have a right laugh!

Well done for ur weight loss

That chicken sounds delicious! Ur making me hungry lol I love my slow cooker, not had it long but I like to experiment with it

And I don't go to a class either so I find this site very handy

One of my work colleagues has just said they think I look slimmer! yeh me! LOL

Ahhh late lunch and really hungry not good!

but happy bunny as hubby has just passed his driving assessment to drive lorries for a well know supermarket! more money in the bank and a happier hubby!

Stressfull two weeks while training, but its all worth it now!

Well Done on 3lb - that's a bag and half of sugar!! or, there are some threads with a pic of 1lb of fat eeww! So 3lb is brilliant Next week will be at 13 mark!
Just put my whole chicken in SC, with little water on bottom - will do veg separate, how long do you think for whole chicken? on slow?
I have cut bread out completely at moment, so bloating not bread, thought it might be white pasta?
I had a bad night last night drank too much voddy and got munchies!! So hoping that blip doesn't show on my weigh in on Monday!
Have a great weekend, Kayte

Hope chicken was nice!

Everyone has a blip every now and then.

I am having a good weekend, but had take away last night and just been out for dinner! So not Sw wise.

Hope you are having a good weekend.

The chicken did just fall apart - delicious!
What take away did you have? How has the rest of your weekend been?
WI for me tomorrow.....

Good luck for tomorrow! Let me know how you get on ( or off preferably!)

Takeaway was Chinese! Fried rice, spare ribs, veg chow mein, butterfly prawns and prawn crackers, shared between 3 of us. Not so good choices!

Glad chicken turned out good.

Body hurts! Think I over did it at the gym!

Chinese can be ok, did you syn the spare ribs? think they would have been the most - hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks for tomorrow, will let you know, not feeling very hopeful, we will see

Hi

Keep your chin up, there is alway next week, if you do not get the result you want this week. Just never give up trying!

Yes did syn the the spare ribs. Butterfly prawns were the worst at 2 syns each as they are deep fryed I guess, and I had 8 of them!

Going to eat loads of superfree speed food this weeks for damage limitation. Stepped on the scales this morning and I have put 3lb back on! LOL however it does not count till Friday! Hehehe

Going to make a SW curry tonight!

Busy start to the week! ate half my breakfast before leaving home! Grated apple, yogurt and half a grapefruit. Hifi bar and coffee when I arrived. Carrots, celery and 2 x satsumas for snack. lunch was left over from yesterday, spag hoops, and veg omelette, cheese topping (15g chedder) with mixed salad followed by a yogurt. Not time for snack this afternoon and not hungry yet really, but drank 3 cups of tea and a large glass of water.

Home to make a SW curry with boiled rice.



Only 1 syn so far for the yogurt this morning as it is the Onken Fat Free with apple and mango (5 syns for 450g) and I have 75g of it.

Catch you all later.

You luck to those WI tonight!

You've had a good day so far - how can the scales tell lies like that! don't get on till Friday lol
I lost 1.5lb, despite my worries - so very pleased that I can keep motivated for this week!
I made a curry today too, all free/super free - it was ok, but needed a little something extra - do you add yoghurt to yours?
Hope you don't mind me keep writing in your thread! x

Well done on you loss thats really good!

Everyone enjoyed my curry, only thing is they thought it was more like a chilli than a curry and to be honest it was, just missing the red beans! So I think I have a new recipe for a good Chilli! (wasnt quite syn free as I used mince pork 1/2 syn per 100g for less that 8% fat)

I have the SW Curry book the hard back one and the paper back one, I have tried several of the recipes in these, usually go for the ones with coconut milk in them as they are milder (don't go for too hot). When ever I put yogurt in cooking I always seem to manage to split it no matter how careful I am, so No not normally.

I do not mind at all you writing on my thread, in fact I quite like our chats! and appreciate the support you give me.
