You can't get the jack fruit from Asda I got it from an ethnic store near work.

To me it's a normal week as I don't work Mondays anyway. Will see what the scales are like tomorrow !!

It's pretty tasteless but it soaks up other flavours and my husband and I both preferred it to the Asda veggie pulled pork we had the other week. It's not too expensive one tin did both of us and it cost £1.20 for the tin so I'm going to get a few more this week

Yes it's apparently a close relative botanically speaking and comes from the same family

Yes to work and as usual maybe to weigh in !!

I hope you managed to take back the tyre inflator Been dull and miserable here again today so once again I dried the washing with a mixture of tumble dryer outside and inside with the dehumidifier on.

How frustrating still no pics so this is yesterday's food Food yesterday if I can remember Sweet omelette/pancakes with choc shot 1 syn Sharon fruit and grapes 2 rolos 2 syns 2 yoghurts 2 syns Satsuma New food jack fruit which I read about as a vegan meat substitute...

I posted in technical and it seems I'm not the only one and since you can't post pictures either then it's obviously a minimins problem. Which is a shame as I had a fab days food to post from yesterday. All home cooked and on plan

I can't seem to post pictures. It tells me file name is invalid ?

Sounds like the scales are definitely grinning at you

Gosh I'm so sorry to read that I have no idea what's going on I hope you are ok X

I can't get on ginlins diary to say morning. It's telling me I don't have permission and it's not in my subscribed threads ? Will contact admin when I get back if it's not sorted itself out

Morning Janet I'll catch up when we get back from our walk My scales are up again

I could only get on to make that one post yesterday Scales are up again but we had proper meals yesterday Just nipping to Tesco then I'll catch up

Scales down slightly but we did only have 1 meal yesterday so its not that surprising A whole load of food planned today I think

Yes the weather was gorgeous yesterday Today is the complete opposite cold grey and miserable

I don't know on trip adviser it is the No 2 restaurant so we thought we'd try it And it was ok but they didn't do a sharing mezze platter which is what we like so I had 3 mezzes and my husband had the mixed kebab I had fattoush, broad beans and Sahara babaganoush The pitta bread was standard...

Ahhhh you must take a picture if you can

I hope you can cuddle the house rabbit Another fab day you put me to shame

We were the only 2 in and it was 1pm !!

How lovely of Joseph I hope you had a nice family day

This is where we ate http://www.saharahale.co.uk/ So very similar to Turkish/Greek/Middle Eastern places we eat at

Muffins sound yum Sounds like you've got a lovely afternoon planned

I've been unable to get on minis all morning !! Just our and about charity shop trawling and we've just eaten in a Lebanese place It was very nice

Yes unfortunately that's the price of asparagus which is why my husband jumped when we saw the mark down on them yesterday In that case your seasoning might be free I can't wait to have it again A surprise visit how lovely for you

It was dull as ditch water all day. Came home ate dinner then went straight out to the cinema to see Tomorrow Land which was alright So I've just got in Quick catch up the bed No breakfast as my stomach was sore and bloated Tuna salad Extra light mayo 1 syn Puffts 3.5 syns Apple and...

I hope you get your asparagus. It was drizzling when I came to work this morning and its very dull

He got there just as they were putting out the second lot of mark downs which never usually happens to us Loads of British asparagus in Tesco this morning As I have Mondays off bank holiday weekends just mean my husband will work downstairs on Monday but that's about it !!

I don't know which sort we had as my husband got it from the bargain section of Tesco last night at 11p per pack and he managed to get 2 packs The asparagus we had with our eggs the other day was definitely English as I checked

You've done so much better then me today !

Not great food wise today due to hospital etc but I went to the gym this morning and last night me and my friend walked her dog and leafleted 3 roads Banana pre gym Banana post gym Egg muffin Ryvita hex b with laughing cow light hex a Cucumber tomatoes Melon Nectarine Crisps 5 syns Sweets...

I can have the morphine patches as long as I want them for. I have them on repeat prescription so that's something

Yes and results will be middle of July

Sounds like a good day to me

Well I have nothing to report which is frustrating but also good they've ruled out a whole host of stuff But obviously still no explanation for the pain so now waiting for the other investigations

I live for my weekends off plan !!

Yuck lychee My mum likes them Scales up by 0.5 to 1lb but to be expected as Tuesday I only ate 2 egg muffins and melon before weigh in Whereas yesterday I ate normally and had Chinese last night

Are you having any off plan days this week ?

This one only really has ice cream desserts which obviously I can't have. Hospital again tomorrow afternoon with the results of my last test Will message when I can

Glad it worked out. I always worry about posting recipes in case they fail

Had a lovely meal out and didn't make bad choices. I had sweetcorn soup followed by bean curd in black bean sauce with beansprouts instead of noodles or rice

I don't mind a gain if I have a good meal to show for it as food is for enjoyment Its the stupid uncalled for gains that get me down like last week

I'm glad the biscuits were ok Which recipe did you use in the end ? Well done Donna

How did the oat biscuits go down with the class

Woo hoo Fab news

Thank you I feel so much better doing green days. Even if I do EE if I have tuna or salmon I still usually have my 2 hex bs so I don't miss out !

Will pop on when I can Remind me do you have to weigh today or is it next week ?

I hope you do well tomorrow Now eating out tomorrow night with my mum and going to her local Chinese restaurant plus meal out on Saturday and maybe off plan Sunday or Monday or both !!

I use tesco value oats 75p for a huge bag and I use my silicon sheet to cook them on so no I don't think so Food looks good again

That's a lot of money cave girl - cars can be so expensive Best get your friend to taste the first if you're not sure Janet I'm also freezing and the heating hasn't been switched off yet

Lovely do they taste ok as I assume either you or Joseph sampled one !

Thank you it means the pressure is off next week to get weighed after the bank holiday as I know we are eating out Saturday but not sure where yet

Feel so much better

Live from class 1.5lb off so bah sucks to SP !!! Only 1lb over target now

Hope the drs go well cavegirl and you get your mini break Hope you enjoy your mooch Janet

Well I might weigh as scales were down a bit this morning !! You know what I'm like

We only have 1 TV so it isn't on in every room of the house and it's only on if we're in the living room We don't watch it upstairs at all not even on our tablets

I think you need a cheese spread like primula as the recipe says or a tub of low low not a cream cheese topping We forgot to get salad to go with ours yesterday that would have made it perfect

Yes last time I added cinnamon and ginger Then its either your whole hex b or 6 syns for the recipe so it depends how many you make and eat !!

No I checked I last made them in February when I was making taster stuff for the free food week but I just made the oaty biscuits for me as they weren't free food I've never made the muffins

That looks lovely I think its the sort of dish that can be adapted We added mushrooms to ours yesterday and I said next time to also add sweetcorn.

35g oats - hex b 1 egg whisked 2 tablespoon sweetner Flavouring eg ginger powder or cinnamon or vanilla extract etc which I left out as I put in sultanas and chocolate I also used some 0% fat free greek yoghurt but that's not in the recipe I used a whitworths shot of dark chocolate and sultanas...

Well I'm off today and Thursday so shouldn't be too bad. Been experimenting with the sw magic muffins and the sw oat biscuits The muffins need working on but the biscuits were really nice and we had all 5 between us They can both be used as a hex so its not too bad !

I'm so glad you liked it Did you follow the recipe bar the fajita seasoning and primula Did Joseph taste it I can't believe how nice it was

Took morphine patch off Friday night as it only lasts 7 days so on a break this week as I don't want the terrible withdrawal side effects I got last time due to being on the constantly Engineer been in and gone had to hurry home from the gym and it turns out its an area fault and nothing we can...

It should be easy to halve as the recipe only serves 2 anyway As I said we didn't use cumin instead we used an old el Paso spice mix we had My scales are down slightly but doubt it will be enough for tomorrow The rich food did get to me Saturday night but I was alright yesterday . However I...

I hope you like it We didn't use cumin just a spice mix we had which is why I guessed at 1 syn instead of 0.5 syn as the sun value is due to the sugar in the fajita seasoning Grim here as well but I'm trying to shift myself to go to the gym as we have the phone engineer coming between 12 and 4

Yes I was fine today thank you and back on track But this site has been playing up so I've been struggling to post

Yes our house is most certainly not a house but very much a well lived in home As my mum said a bit of dust never harmed anyone We are both introverts which doesn't help

I've actually already invited them back yesterday as I had such a nice time so it will be end of July or beginning of August as they go away end of August I was also worried their kids would be bored but as they said they will bring stuff with them and they need to learn to visit other people...

Sounds like a good Sunday to me I'm still in bed as suffering a bit after all the rich food yesterday

Oh I ate every mouthful !! She went to so much trouble checking everything with me and buying in lactofree milk in especially to make the white sauce etc and checking the cheese etc

I would say the cookie would be between 200 to 300 calories so 10-15 syns Sounds like you had a lovely day as well.

I can have open stuff in the cupboard for months at the moment I have open packs of dark rolos, coffee éclairs, jelly sweets after 8 mints and other stuff Today was lovely a really fab time with friends but oh so synful Proper veggie lasagne with white sauce made with lactofree milk and of...

My scales were atrocious We have sunshine here again today so I've put a wash on but we're going to friends later for the afternoon and dinner which means I might leave the wash drying in the conservatory

All done till Tuesday. My boss let me go at 4.45 but unfortunately I succumbed to 15 syns worth of chocolate between 4 and 4.15 as I needed the energy and I'm still fed up about my weight. We're off out soon to the cinema to see Spooks

Glad you had a good day Its been dry and warm all day here so shame I was stuck inside

Thank goodness I don't have to weigh on Tuesday

Bright sunshine here so I hope you have nice weather too

Scales are up even more and I trying not to be upset as got another day of work to get through

We don't even have new scales as I asked

Thank you Yes I hope it comes off pretty quickly Had lots of lovely carbs today

I'm certainly not weighing now till I'm 100% sure of the result as yesterday no way reflected my week or my scales

I really really wish I hadn't weighed last night to be honest It's really playing on my mind Yes mins was down till about 10 this morning I think

What did you decide ?

I don't see how as 20 mins cardio 2 or 3 times a week plus a few machine weights isn't really exercising much I'm absolutely gutted about it all

It sure doesn't I nearly had a full on crying breakdown in class last night 2.5lb on I was devastated as no reason at all whatsoever I've done SP I've had scanbran 4 out of 7 days I've exercised I've drunk loads My husband was also as shocked as I was So I'm only 0.5lb away from the top...

But you now have another 4 weeks ?

Hmmmmmm maybe !

Last time I weighed I was exactly on target right on the button

That's a good non scales victory

Of course it is The more the merrier x

Basically and no bananas or mangos or grapes All speed fruit and veg and you know mine is always a third if not half of my plate so I know it should have made a difference

Yes I'm thinking that as well but I'm still eating the same meals just changed around EG bns mash Carrot fries Bns fries etc so I not eating less

Plus I've been eating mainly sp Carrot fries BNS Etc and no pasta or rice for nearly two weeks I don't think

Ain't that the truth !

Yes I know I need to have an extra glass of water with the scan bran and I drink at least 2 litres of water and squash a day I've also been going to the gym for 20 mins cardio and some weights. I managed to go last night after work So its just my stupid body as there really is no reason for it...

Grrrr my scales are still up by 1.5lb at least No idea why I've been eating scan bran been totally on plan bar Saturday and even when I had the weekend off the other week I was on plan a lot of the time No idea what to do later

Have you seen the new dark chocolate rolos. My husband spotted them in Asda in the pouches. 1 is about 20 calories so 1 syn There is milk in them but mmmmmmm they're worth it

Have you been back on plan today ?

One is next month I'm waiting on the mri appointment but it will be next month as well as I'm back in clinic middle of July so I need to have all the tests done by then I think I meant investigations not procedures. This is the hospital I was at on Tuesday I'm certainly keeping the NHS busy !!

Two more procedures booked and another clinic appointment booked So I'm being well looked after

Fab news on the X ray results. Unfortunately I'm in and out of the Dr's now as I need blood tests every 3 months and medication every 3 months that has to be checked against the blood tests before it can be given out. So no repeat prescriptions

1lb down so still over but it's coming down which is good House renovations do really impact on every day hopefully it won't be too long

Looks yummy to me !

Hope scales are kind to you today

Me neither We had the buffet so unlimited pizza pasta and salad and I think I managed 5 slices of pizza ! Not surprisingly scales are up 3lb today But I'm back on track

Mine wasn't great at all glad Josephs was ok Will message you all Naughty scales

We ended up in Pizza Hut having the buffet - ooops but I wasn't really fit to go into town or to walk around after the appointment (women's stuff) Will message you all

Hope hospital appointment is going well. Mine is late morning

Thank you I'll take a look. Scales are down about 1.5 to 2lb which was a surprise but I'm not weighing today as planned as I'm still going out with my mum for lunch

Sorry I meant the new gf and dairy free info

Really where ?

I thought the restaurant wasn't that good ? I also hope all is well with his results

Today has been surprisingly ok. We did both go to the gym then Asda where we bought some of their new veggie range I had seen in the magazine yesterday Veggie bbq pulled 'pork' and mac n cheese doughnut burger both of which were very nice I'm up to date with the washing as the load I did this...

You are doing brilliantly

Thank you Scales say 3lb on since Saturday which I expected No food plans yet but we are going to the gym soon then Asda

Yes thank you it was great

Not really sure what we are eating tomorrow. It's a difficult weekend/week/month which I explained on Lynnes diary. I always go off the rails in May I'm out with my mum on Tuesday but then hopefully that will be it

I actually feel very very sick now which serves me right

That sounds good We haven't been to the gym together for years but we will just do our own thing and use different machines and weights Another day off plan More bagels Cake And Chinese leftovers

Luckily the bedding dried before it started to rain again We are going to the gym together tomorrow. My husband's gym is shut tomorrow as its a council gym but mine isn't as I have corporate membership of a gym chain which my boss pays for and I have a couple of free passes so I've persuaded...

Its cleared up here Donna so I'm going to risk hanging out the washing I did some squats lunges and a few sit ups this morning and we walked to Tesco

I've not weighed today - no point !! Dried out here and its warmer then yesterday so I'm going to risk hanging out the bedding once the wash has finished

Yep same as me especially as I rarely have my hex a

I assume Costco is American yes I have a card through work and also a Makro card Both are those big warehouse type places I thought Costco was nationwide Bagels are yum I'm sure Joseph will agree with me !

P/B ?? Those look really nice glad you liked them

Thank you both I will

I have never actually made them it was someone who bought them to a taster session in class so I hope they are ok. I haven't been the right side of target this year I don't think

It was actually quite dry and it really needed the gravy Scales are unbelievably down this morning !! We are taking my mum out today to a Chinese restaurant she likes in Liverpool and then going shopping in the supermarket next door

Wow that's an amazing drop well done

Lots of luck for tomorrow, I'm now off plan !!

Might not list all my food daily as I'll be off plan Tonight we had the veggie Wellington with croquettes broccoli cauliflower and gravy

I'm glad your records are being looked at urgently

Thank you it was busy but fine Boss let me go at 4.45 as it was bank holiday

Oh dear I hope his mood has improved

Glad you got there safely My sister can't eat too much fruit due to her ibs I know ginlin I was quite shocked this morning

Why is he lecturing you ?

Poor Joseph I hope he recovers soon I have no idea what caused my gain as been totally on plan

Good luck My scales were up.loads

Grrrrrr back up 2lb no idea why not even started my couple of days off plan

Yes it is as we are having our delayed Valentines meal tomorrow the veggie Wellington I bought from Morrisons. I bought it then had to go on white foods so it's been in the freezer ever since

Thank you all I'm so pleased to be back at target. It makes a huge difference in my mood And at least I won't panic about the bank holiday weekend now Weather has really turned here. I've put the office heating back on

Hope it goes well Thank goodness the scales are dropping

I must say steroids would be my worse nightmare due to the weight gain. Last time I gained 12lbs

Yes I know what you mean I'm constantly in pain but as long as I know it isn't life threatening then I suppose I just have to cope with it I would love to have proper answers as it's always easier to have a plan when you have a diagnosis but I have to have faith in the system and hope that if...

I always think no news is good news when it comes to hospital stuff so if they haven't contacted me to come in urgently then it can't be bad news as someone somewhere will have looked at the results

Oh I'm not weighing next week as I'm going out for lunch with my mum next Tuesday after the hospital and probably coffee and cake as well plus me and my husband will have a meal out as we havent been out for a couple of weeks so my next weigh will either be 2 or 3 weeks today

0.5lb off so I'm exactly at target Probably just ruined it though with loads of bread with soup and I had a bread roll during class as well !!

So true

Yes I agree we don't all fit into one box Look at me even drs on the same team can't agree with what I may or may not have !!

It took ages for SP to show on my scales I've done on and off for two weeks maybe three and I feel its only just showing But I've not done SP exclusively I have been mixing and matching

Hope the chilling is going well Janet 0.5lb is great Lynne

The thing is I told them when I called to confirm the appointment and I told them again this morning when I got there

You are busy There's no way I can exercise when I'm in work I just get so exhausted and I need time in bed so I won't go to the gym before work since it would mean getting up at 6am maybe 6.30am as I need to be in work by 9 and I finish at 5ish more likely later sometimes even 6 I'm hoping to...

Sainsburys should do them as well

Tesco do the spaghetti as well and I'm sure they do lasagne sheets There is loads more choice nowadays Scales were straight back up again no obvious reason as usual so I'm trying to ignore it
