oh my goodness, they look delicious! i need them in my life! lol. need to find someone with a card! lol xx

Morrisons do those icecream cones filled with marshmallow and topped with sprinkles- 59p for 6 and only 33cals each!! pretty pointless but perfect if you fancy something sweet but dont have the cals for anything better! lol.

I was just wondering if anybody has any motivational quotes they'd like to share? doesn't have to be by anyone famous- just encouraging words! A few of my favorites are: Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to...

i had a grilled sandwich with turkey and low calorie coleslaw (282) and a packet of tesco value crisps 95! yum yum!

Hey frankie, just want to say i'm reading! keep up the good work girl! where do you buy the chicken tenders you eat from? i love anything like that and 207 doesnt sound too bad! xx

tonight im having a bit of the blow out and halving the following with my man (from the asda takeaway section) Chinese chicken curry, crispy chilli beef, sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice! its gonna be 1000 of my calories gone but i'm eating very light today, gonna take the dog on...

i had a chicken enchilada (330) from tescos with onion rings (240) and jalepeno coleslaw (60) and a chocolate moose dessert (150) from the frozen section in tescos washed down with some Dr pepper zero- as starting to get bored of diet coke now!

also most chinese food is ridiculously high in salt which has probably dehydrated you a bit- which could be why you feel hungover.

i've been growing my hair out for the past year from a pixie crop, its now just above shoulder level and as soon as i hit my first goal of 13 stone 7lb i'm going to treat myself to some clip in hair extensions, i could do it now but i want to look doubly great with 4 stones weight loss and...

i had half of a sloppy guissepe pizza express pizza (buy one get one free at the moment from sainsburys) served with a green salad- 290 cals and a chocolate eclair (229) for dessert! yummy!!! and i'm having the other half of it for my lunch today! delish!

i had a co-op healthy choices hot cross bun with 1tbsp of lemon curd- 190 calories of deliciousness! washed down with a lovely cup of tea!

I would choose for starters the prawns in marie rose sauce- but ask to have them without the sauce (alot of people don't like marie rose sauce so doubt they'll have a problem with it unless its pre-mixed and prawns are so low in cals!) then the salmon for the main and maybe just ask for one...

Me and my fella do that sometimes too, we get a crispy chilli beef from asda with egg fried rice and a chicken curry! delish! crispy beef (1/3 packet) 240 1/2 carton rice 180 chinese chicken curry (1/2 portion) 244

My other half bought one of these on a whim a few years ago, its is currently functioning as the worlds most expensive clothes horse! Let me know how you get on and i migh dust it off and give it a go!

Thanks!

Thanks for your lovely comments, i'll pass them on to her! She was interviewed by our local news a few weeks ago and here is the video link Anglia Regional News | Anglia Tonight - ITV Local if anyone is interested! She also had a photo shoot last week and should be appearing in this sundays Sun...

no worries! its great for bulking out a plate of food!

it that for the whole bag?

I think i might be getting obsessed with this cc lark- last night i dreamt about making some popcorn with paprika, chilli and salt . Most boring dream ever!!:beam:

mmm.... hot cross buns! How many calories in one?

Holly keeps a food diary everyday and writes everything down that she eats (even if shes had a bingey day) she keeps an eye on calories but doesn't keep to a set number each day, but she's educated herself on whats high in calories etc and follows the basic principals. If she's had a bad...

wow you all put me to shame, i really need to start doing something

I think i'll take dietqueens approach and not weigh myself that week from now on!

I love the idea of the jar! I might give that a go!

I had my orange and ginger flapjack from my graze box and a cup of tea!

I had an awful, awful evening foodwise! I had friends round and had fully intended on doing them some pizzas and garlic bread and having a few small slices of pizza with a salad. However by the time they all got round I was STARVING (big mistake!) and they all brought food along with them. I...

9lb!

just had my orange and ginger flapjack for breakfast- a little too delicious!

wahoo way to go sarahandmolly, thats a fantastic loss! I weigh in tommorrow for the first time in nearly 3 weeks so fingers crossed!

i was extra hungry this morning so I had a bowl of coco pops and a sandwich thin toasted spread with lemon curd and a nice cup of tea to wake me up!

has anyone got any other ideas? cinnamon and sweetner sounds delicious! i cant think of any others either!

i had a bacon sandwich, 3 bacon medallions inside a warburtons sandwich thin with a tiny squirt of ketchup and a nice strong cuppa! delish!

Haha what an awesome idea! cant wait to post a pic of "my" fish once ive had a substantial loss!

Hi everyone! My other half and I are off to lovely Devon on friday for a little caravan holiday, and i'm just wondering if anyone can tell me the calories in one TBSP of clotted cream? I've been so good the past month or so and fully intend on treating myself to a cream tea! I can't seem to...

Excellent loss Sunnyrae! Well Done! :D

im the same mine go straight away too! especially if its things ive never had before- i just want to taste it all! lol xx

tonight i had a creamy garlic and herb potato bake served with rocket and spring onion. Scrumptious!

i had a bowl of coco pops and a cuppa! Yum yum!! :D

Hey ladies, i hope you don't mind me asking but i just wondered how much your weight fluctuates around that certain "time of the month" I weighed myself on thursday and despite having a good week i had mysteriously put on 2lbs. Then yesterday i had a little visit from mother nature and just...

wahoo! way to go!!!! :D

i really am so excited about this! First time i've taken part in one of these and its going to be a great motivator! looking forward to weds weigh in!! :D

I've discovered a delicious dessert, Ski lemon meringue style moose (4 pack on offer in tesco at the moment for £1.00) only 81cals topped with 10 mini cake decorating meringues (26 cals) Delicious, sweet, creamy and tangy! for 107 cals! divine! :D

Hi everyone, i was just wondering what exercise you all do? I need to up mine as it is currently non existant! So what do you do and how often do you do it? Also, are there any workout dvds other than gillian michaels that you recommend? I borrowed the Hannah Waterman dvd off a friend watched...

well done tiamaria! you're right, you can do this! :D keep going girly!

What a fantastic idea better betterforever83! I'm in! My goal is going to be 25lbs! which is about 1.6lbs per week so not unacheiveable! Mellymoo: (0lbs lost, 25lbs to go!) I'm excited!! :D

Hi everyone, i know there is the success stories thread but i find that to be over taken by people on cambridge, lighter life etc, which is fantastic but i find it really inspirational to watch the stories of people who have calorie counted there way to success- if they can do it then so can i...

Very true mikimoomoo!

Thanks angelcake! thats very helpful! Its a catch 22 situation with me, my skins patchy so i need to wear foundation but wearing it just clings to the dry patches and makes it worse! i'll deffo try the cocoa butter, and i love any excuse to visit the mac store! :D

when you do figure something out would you post the recipe please? if i can lose weight whilst still getting chocolatey peanut goodness i'll be a very happy girly! also your name has reminded me of another fave food- angel cake!! mmm... so vanillary! (not a word, but meh!) I cant buy it any more...

i might just try that and jazz up my oatsosimple! great idea!

BTW i'm now aware that i just said "you cant beat a good stuffing!" no pun intended!! lol :P

sparklyfairydreams thats my ultimate favorite! i love pork and you cant beat a good stuffing! yum! i've got a roast chicken dinner round my mums, and she's on strict instructions (well, i politely asked actually!) to do the roast potatoes in fry light and serve with lots of veg! No chicken skin...

gutted! our tescos doesn't have it! asda it is then! :D

oooh thanks for this! i've got dry patches on my face and its doing my head in- will give these a try!

ohh and anything chocolatey and peanuty!

prawn toasts and crispy duck pancakes!!!!

i wish i was!!

mmm... sounds great!

wow, this is really interesting- thanks everyone! I'm at the beginning of my journey 5 ft 6 16 st 10lbs size 20 bottom, 18 top

try ebay, i managed to get some off there last year. x

Try marks and spencer, im a size 20 and bought the xl and they fit- pretty sure they had an xxl.

I had quite a few cals left so i had a MASSIVE plate of stir fry veg with a bit of lean beef in a blue dragon sweet and sour sauce. Me and the other half went halves of a large bag of tescos prawn crackers (to my surprise just 165 cals for 1/2 the bag!!) So i felt like i was having a naughty...

I agree with katie, for me its the naughty treats that keep me on track! having 100 cals of chocolate helps stop me crave it and devouring a family size bar! I have to trick my mind into thinking im being naughty which also keeps me on track! Messed up i know! like today for tea i had a full...

that sounds delish squeezy! i just bake mine whole in the oven, or slice thinly with a vegetable peeler and lightly spray with fry light and a bit of sea salt and bake in the oven for lovely low cal crisps!

best of luck! :)

Best of luck on your journey! i'm sure you'll make it! :)

i agree moonlights!

haha I eat all my desserts with a teaspoon- makes it last longer! I just ignore the funny looks i get from the other half!

i'm the same! i'm already looking foward to my low cal roast tomorrow night at mums! and i still have tea, breakfast and lunch to look forward to! it helps to be prepared tho i guess! :-s

Mmm... sounds delicious!!:D

How many calories are in a dutch crisp bake? are they similar to melba toasts or am i thinking of something completely different? lol

I used to (i say it like it was ages ago, only been cc for a month!) eat so quickly it would barely hit the sides! Since i've been calorie counting i've kind of valued my food a bit more and take more pleasure savouring it. Especially when i treat myself to chocolate, i can make a small packet...

My moment came about a month ago when i found out my 3 closest friends had been invited to model wedding dresses at a wedding fayre, we do everything as a foursome and they kept it secret from me so not to upset me. Theyre all between a size 10 and 14 so not super super skinny, i just hated the...

I saw this in asda the other day but didnt dare try it! I may try making some kind of mini chocolate cheescake with it. Any ideas of low cal things i can use as a crunchy base for it?

Asda have a lovely honey and mustard dressing from the "good for you" range. Really tasty and only 16 cals per tablespoon! Or what about making a low calorie coleslaw with extra light mayo (recipe on recipe thread)

Hello everyone! I'm from Ipswich too! anybody calorie counting on here?

Hi everyone, just thought i had to tell you all about my friend holly, who has become my inspiration! Over the past 2 years she has lost over 10 stone, through sheer hardwork and determination. I made a video of her transformation on utube if anyone is interested in seeing it. Just search for...

can't wait to try this!

oooh and the other day i added some chopped jalepenos and had it as a spicy side dish with an asda chicken enchilada (450ish for half a pack and was absolutely devine!)

I've always been a lover of coleslaw but is so fatty so i've adapted it. 2 tablespoons of extra light mayo (30 cals) 2x large carrots grated (50 cals) 1/2 white cabbage finely chopped (60ish) 1/2 white onion (30) total= 170 calories This is enough for at least 2 very large portions, great...

i love making a low calorie prawn cocktail (extra light mayo mixed with a bit of ketchup, some cayenne pepper and a sprinkling of paprika, served on lots of iceberg lettuce and a lemon wedge!) next to nothing in calories and tastes delicious! shame prawns are so bloody expensive now!!

Oooh lucysmommy that sounds lush!! any going spare? lol. Tonight i'm having a massive plate of chicken and stir fry veg in a blue dragon sweet chilli sauce! i'm going to leave out the noodles and use the calories on the low calorie prawn toasts (from the recipe section on here) i'll attempt to...

shape chocolate dessert with 10 mini meringues crumbled in! YUM! only 136 cals and hits the spot! Big fan of quavers at 88 cals!

tonight is a bit boring for me, jacket potato with beans! may have a shape chocolate dessert with a few mini meringues to liven it up a bit! im in need of a sweet fix tonight!

I had a delicious lunch today- 1/2 tub of sainsburys carrot and corriander soup (89 cals and sooooo creamy!) and a ham salad with rockett red onion and an extra light honey and mustard dressing! filling, healthy and delicious! all for approx 250 cals!!

No pics, and not really a recipe but the most satisfying thing i've eaten since i've been watching my weight has to be the following: Chicken tikka massala in the plastic tubs (286 cals from the takeaway section at asda) served on a bed of rocket instead of rice with a ww garlic and corriander...

My favorite breakfast at the moment has to be a slice of asda thick white bread (105 cals) topped with 2tsps of seedless raspberry jam and half a tbsp of (surprisingly nice) smart price crunch peanut butter! Equates to about 200 calories and is great washed down with a lovely cuppa! then...

I'm off to Tesco right now for ingredients!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :)

Great Idea xCherryKx! Definately going to try this!! :)

Mmmm... this sounds so delicious! would go perfect with a low calorie lasagne and a rocket salad dressed in extra light dressing and perhaps a cheeky glass of vino! I think that may be tomorrow nights dinner planned. Well, you've got to have something nice on a saturday haven't you?!

As we're mainly ladies here- how much weight (water weight or whatever it is, lol) do you tend to put on before/ during your period? I've been keeping to 1200 cals for nearly two weeks and got my period today and have put on 2lbs- i know its not the end of the world but its pissed me off for...

Ooooh thanks everyone!!:D:D:D Looks like some yummy recipes there!!! can't wait to get cooking- especially like the look of the sticky lemon chicken!!!:D:D:D

Hope someone can help me- i've been on 1200 cals for the last week or so and have been really really "good" and lost 5lbs so far (yay!) However, i woke up this moring to find that its my nans birthday and my dad is planning on getting a chinese takeaway tonight to celebrate- now, normally i...

:) Hi Everyone!! My name's Mel, i've just started on 1200 cals a day and wondered if anyones got any yummy low cal recipes that they'd like to share? I'm a sucker for lovely indulgent food (well obviously or i wouldnt be here! lol) looking for food that seems a little bit naughty but isn't (to...
