So I think I also ate hula hoops last night, didn't overdo it due to weigh in this morning - 2lbs down pleased with that wished it had been more but I know I'm due next week so thought it would be sts. Onwards and downwards! Anyway early weigh ins play havoc with my eating as didn't eat...

Thanks it's great to hear that people do really well just counting their points and nowt else! xx

Hi Kelly xx Oh I'm well jealous over 6 pieces of bread and still losing! This makes total sense too it's definitely worth a shot and what's to lose apart from a pound or 2 or 3 (please!) Will have to to reset the brain somewhat but will keep going til wi on Tuesday then do a week of eating all...

I like that thinking Princess - it makes total sense I just have to trust the system eat all my points, make up some activity ones and keep everything crossed! xx Hi Fern I think it's ease that makes me have slice of toast for brekkie and sandwich for lunch as it keeps well in the car when...

Thanks for taking the time to reply and I think you're right and don't be scared to be direct with me! I don't plan particularly well and am probably still getting used to points so thinking I'm eating more points than I actually am and then don't want to simply eat stuff to use up points. Also...

I know just being lazy really! Hoped one might do everything in one place, at the same time sort of thing! Thanks xx

Hi thanks for that it looks great but before I spend money does it count your daily calories etc as well as the points do you know? Thanks xx

Hi does anyone know of an app which would let me count pro points, calories, carbs etc in one place that way I can keep a check on everything? I know myfitnesspal is great for nutritional info but you can't do the points and ww does the points but doesn't seem to track calories, carbs etc. Is...

Hi thanks hun hope you're enjoying ww and doing great. Crikey I hope its not as I spent months doing atkins avoiding all carbs, lost weight and then put it all back on after I started over eating normal foods so here I am trying to find a 'normal' diet so I can eat normal things but be a healthy...

Okay Thursday 23rd February Again had my inch loss treatment so no food for me until lunchtime then aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh went to Wagamamas and after looking online I probably went for the absolutely, fatally rubbish worst choice ever! Whatever it...

So day 2 of shred done and had my inch loss treatment not measuring until end of all my treatments but jacket seemed looser? So far chicken noodle shaker from tesco .... 6pp. Will have some tea once girls are in bed. Xx

Wednesday 22nd February Gave up yesterday trying to eat my points ok could have had pancake or toast etc but why as they're still empty calories. My plan to eat more at mealtimes including more protein and retain 1 or 2 pp for evening and/or nibbles that I may have during the day but don't...

Hi cat lover thanks for popping in though I'm having a crisis of confidence after a sts only at week 2!. Good luck I really enjoy the diet so hopefully you will too. Xx So sts - pah B - 1 x slice whole meal toast 2pp, half flora portion 1pp L - tesco prawn pasta salad 6pp, few crisps, 2x...

Well sts on week 2 is not good I don't think so I'm a bit unhappy. I've been good all week, limited crisps, no chocolate etc so on reflection - Am i eating enough apart from 1 day I never eat my pro points allowance Could be catch up from fajitas on Sat night though it would only have been 6 pp...

Ok so not doing so well at filling this in as doing my paper tracker for class, the ww online thing so this would be diary no 3 not sure I can keep all this up. Anyway had good weekend and Monday so far only indiscretion was fajitas on sat night but haven't touched my weeklies so should be...

Well third time lucky tomorrow! I will ask her for contact details but think I would probably use this site or the ww website for any questions etc. I guess it's like anything else good and bad in everything. I am hoping once I get into the swing of things I may not bother with a class but I...

Ok so a good day all in all well so far ..... Friday 17th B - poached egg 2pp, ww toast x 2 2 pp L - ww wrap 3pp, salad, Philly cheese and ham 1pp together as had very little, shared bag of wotsits 1pp Tea - turkey meatballs 6pp, small amount rice 1tbsp 1pp Snacks - apple, 2 x rich tea...

Hi I started ww just over a week ago, got a good loss (5.5lbs) in the first week and as this title says I want this to be the start of the end of dieting. I've never been able to eat "normally" its either overeat or starve I'm fed up with that and want to eat well but be slim. Here goes...

I was just about to say I don't think I have any contact details for her! I guess it's like everything else there's good and bad and maybe my leader isn't the best. I'm just so grateful for this site and all you lovelies who are so wonderful and supportive. Xxx

Thanks ladies ..... I ventured back today not least because I was curious re my weight. Tbh she was exactly the same as last time, I think she is very experienced and seems to be on "automatic pilot". However a lot of the ladies seem to like her and respond to her, I think she maybe forgets...

Ok thanks ladies I did think it wasn't right trouble is the same leader does all the local classes! Will have a rethink! Xx

She said nothing about anything and I stayed til the bitter end and there was nothing for beginners! We never talked about my overall target and she never explained what the 5 and 10% were although I knew anyway. Sounds like its not the norm then! Xx

Hi I went along to my first class last week and am due to return this week but I was more than a little disappointed with my first class (this is the first time I have been to any sort of slimming club). I just wanted some thoughts from anybodywho attends class. As I said this was my first...

I not sure where to post this - please feel free to move it as required as it's maybe too specific for the main board ..... Anyway I live in Aberdeen and am determined to join a class as it's not working going it alone (ie it's not even started!) but as I've never been to a class I am keen to...

Thank you honeybee! xx

Hi I was very lucky to receive loads of WW magazines from a freecylcer who has lost loads of weight with WW and looks fab! :D I am keen to give it a go after doing Atkins I've slipped in fact totally careered off track and would love to do WW so could someone let me know how many daily PP I can...

Evening Susie xx

Well done Vicky you're still a loser after all :) Have a lovely weekend xx

Had a better day ate better food (and more of it!) and resisted the fish supper offered by my DH but instead had massive steak which was yummy. Did my 5km run so close dammit (just over 30mins) so I reckon a) as it's on the flat I should run faster on Sunday b) the adrenaline should kick in...

Evening Jim hope you had a lovely day Evening Vicky x Hello!!! Yes it can be hard fitting it all in welcome to my diary and please do look at my menus for inspiration ;) NOT x Oh Katie that wouldn't be good hope it stays dry so you can dance safely :)

Yes your diary reads almost like a "normal" person's diet and you're still losing (yes the fairly will visit tonight!) which is great! Now all you have to do is get out running! :D

Thanks love you do read a lot (and I thought I did) there is just so much confusion/misinformation/differing opinions re low carb and exercise, protein intake and exercise .... just everything really! I haven't got into the details of my percentages re fat/protein/ carbs just trying to limit...

Oh very interesting I must say and of course I know that weight training also increases your metabolism to blast fat (during and after the exercise) but I have a blindspot and think that pounding the pavements must surely work ...... but scales indicate otherwise!! So I have the 30 day...

Ohhhh missus sounds exciting and fab!! What have you been buying ......xx I'm the same though weirdly only when mixed with stuff not really keen if just over salad though mayo with tomato sauce and chips yum! How you getting on with low cal higher carbs? Oh Bren I know exactly what...

Oh we loved it too!! Think I may have developed a wee crush on the young man from Hearsay!!! ;) He was a very good lead and much stronger voice than I imagined and apart from sitting next to someone who must be the most prudest woman ever (is that a word you know what I mean!) who didn't laugh...

Hello! Busy weekend yesterday saw we will rock you preceded by very non atkins friendly curry (but as we only go out about once every 6 months I enjoyed every forkful!) .... I did do a run but it probably only worked off a bit of the naan! Today has been back on the wagon and despite...

Morning and thanks ladies felt pretty deflated last night especially as someone offering help said best way for me to run faster was to lose a stone :o Anyway you're right Bren I will do it maybe not next week though :( Ok today is bright and sunny, girls full of mischief and I feel stuffed...

:confused: :cry::cry: Sorry let you all down (and me) still can't do it did 5km in just over 31mins will have to go and research how I can speed up .... in a week! Off to hide ..................

Afternoon Bren lovely sunny weather up here today :) xx

So one useful thing (probably the only useful thing) I learned whilst I dallied with SW was Mikado biscuits you probably know all about them dieting and low carb gurus that you all are but if you fancy a wee biccie then they are only 1.5g carbs each and they are quite yummy in fact off to have...

You do get a cheaper version in Home Bargains (1.60 for 20) which don't taste as nice but are heaps cheaper and perk me up for the day :) Oh and they also make your pee an amazing colour especially under that ultraviolet light they sometime use in public loos

Good afternoon Jim, Vicky, Bren and Lady Susie fortunately that was the last Tunnocks in the house (I do enjoy a caramel wafer Bren but teacake me fav!). B - 2 x eggs (didn't really eat them) L - just eaten corned beef, cherry toms and cheese D - might be protein shake after run I'm about...

Evening Vicky xx

Crikey I never realised how complicated this dieting could be :) You could be a dieting guru you know Linzi people would pay for your knowledge :) xx

Evening Bren xx

How are you enjoying your new diet Susie? Are you finding it easier than Atkins? I'm guessing that the proof will be over the weekend?? xx

Evening Katie xx

Hmmm indeed I was very careful to ensure I got some greens :) Sounds like a good day Susie and glass of vino to top it off! xxx

Evening all xxx Been a BAD day food wise I kind of guessed it would be difficult and I survived well until I got home then caved in ..... B - Atkins bar (in the car) L - soup, fish and veg (see VEG!!), salad (see SALAD) :D then .... D - sandwich and smoky bacon crisps oh my - heaven...

Well done you lovely losers :D

I know Susie I know (hiding from Jim!) I promise to be better oh wait I did have some corned beef as a snack not that that's leafy and green either of course .... On a positive note my running (well that I've been recording on miCoach tells me I've burned over 10,000 calories!) bloody hell...

Well done my lovely its great getting to the end of the day and thinking its been a good one! I am a little confused with the diet but am skim reading ... not sure on the not mixing carbs and fats meals in phase 2 am guessing its to do with our body metabolising the meals 'correctly' but can't...

Hey lady Susie quick query re harcombe .... it states you can have v low fat (live) yoghurt and in phase 2 v l fat milk & yoghurt yet most low fat equals high sugar not sure how this fits in with the diet and I think that's part of the reason I failed at dukan eating l f yogs, oatbran, veggies...

Had forgotten how you don't feel hungry eating this way even though I haven't eaten loads today and have eaten carby stuff yesterday and today (ie tortilla and bread). I do think I will have quite a high carb threshold but am going to stick as low as I can for a wee while yet. Didn't even...

Oh that's a shame :( hope you enjoy some at home activities instead. It's raining here too but we went to the caravan show so we're pondering! I've done the camping (definitely not glamping no ghd's even) so time for some heat / warmth and a place for wet clothes! xxx Morning Jim :)

Well done on the loss Katie and the steak sounds great (I can never cook it like they do in restaurants!) xxxx

Well done Vicky and have a fabby weekend :D xx

Bloody hell Suse I've just had my tea :eek::eek:. Hope you sterilised the clippers :eek: xxxx I'm very fair ie non existent eyebrows and eyelashes and would love to be darker but having read your stories maybe I should be glad all I have to do is some dying! xxx

Hey Susie I have that book too (crikey no wonder it's a top selling book on amazon!) not read it yet (I have diet book fetish in fact books fetish and a DEFINITE magazine fetish!). I'll be interested to hear how you get on .... Know what you mean re carbs and a wee bit might just be enough...

Hey Jim fab photos looks like a lovely family holiday xxx I went to Malta with work on conference a few years back but didn't see much of it such a shame when I see the photos.xx

Evening Katie no it hasn't been nice at all and yes back to good food tomorrow :) xx

Oh Tesco do a bag of small bags of peanuts (30g each) I think it's 6 bags in the pack good for limiting yourself!

Hi Susie! How are you this evening? I'm feeling better but sipping lucozade & eating toast - I need carbs when I'm ill! Back to atkins tomorrow .... d&v is great for weight loss though!

I was doing well til I got struck down with d&v so sipping lucozade & had 2 bits of toast sorry but I nd carbs when I'm ill. Back 2 it 2morrow if I feel ok.

Must be a huge relief Vicky enjoy ur celebration tonight. Xxxx

Well done great loss :D

I'm a bore though don't drink, don't really eat out :eek: god I am a bore!!!!!!!!! Can't afford it on top of 3 other (big) mouths to feed (who'd have thought £1.50+ for a decent wholemeal loaf or £7 for 4 chicken breasts!!! not even nice free range ones just your bog standard battery hens!)...

Something large to get your chops round I like the sound of that ;) I would love to do it just short term kick my metabolic ass but can't afford (or justify) it as very costly ....... Now I've realised you have to blitz the protein shake with my leccy blender I may have more shakes as I do...

I can see they would be comforting you know EXACTLY what you're eating, they do fill you up and when in the mindset no temptation (ie I can have 1 strawberry turns into 4 or 5 in my case they're so lush just now!) But my chops would miss out on the "eating" part. Good on you Bren you're a...

Good news you're feeling better! x Oh I know hun but when the naughties are calling it's very difficult to resist! Are you eating now or still doing your shakes (your willpower as massive!) xxx

Thanks that's given me some ideas and I'm the same I hate exercising with food sitting around it makes for a very lethargic run! And heartburn. Will have to experiment :) Thanks again xx

Thanks Bren I'll have day off tomorrow (well kind of enforced really work getting in the way :p) and hope it's cooler and I'm feeling better..... Are you feeling better now? xxx Thanks Katie - I have loads of energy too hence it's very frustrating - what do you eat before and after your...

Well darn and blast felt fine so did my run nothing major though did have fartlek intervals (what the hell are they?) and an hour later was so sick and felt rubbish ... Don't think I was dehydrated, hadn't had much to eat but better to run on empty stomach? so wondering if it's running whilst...

Love this thread on an Atkins board easy seen Jim's not here ;) And to think I was getting a row for a small slice of wholemeal bread :D

Crikey Susie you're not doing things by halves!! All great news though! xxx

:hug99: Hope you feel better re everything soon must be very hard at moment just remember you are a beautiful girl with a very beautiful heart and we all love you xxxx

Great you're feeling better and never tmi for me! I'm much better and ditto could eat a hairy leg off a donkey (and on Atkins I could!) Thanks seems to have been a bug am feeling much better :) Thanks Vicky hope you're feeling better big hugs to you xxxx Thanks Bren hope you're...

I'm quite enjoying the running found it hard to start with but things are picking up nicely and I can't advocate micoach enough great thing and think it's definitely helped me speed up! Felt rotten last night sat with a bowl watching glee and honestly baulked a few times but luckily no sickness...

It is quiet it must be I've just caught up on your day / weekend! xx

Well done on the zumbaing and shame re the weather hopefully you've raised lots of money! xx

Ah I did wonder about putting them in the oven but girls were in meltdown - early start and outside all day = tired babies but will do that next time!! Yes that's my thinking re family holidays (well apart from when we can afford to revisit minnie and mickey ;)). Towing would be hubby's...

Sounds just the right area for you my lovely. A scooter that's just cos you want some leathers ..... if you haven't already got some ;)

Good luck Mollyc xx

Hope you enjoyed your zumbathon :)

Hey great minds and all that :D Mine were lush - spring onion, ginger and garlic put with pork mince and paprika then mix with dolmio low fat sauce (6g per 100g which was best co-op had) scrum - how were yours? Any tweaks you can offer? Ps stuffed mine with feta too though it didn't melt...

And here was me going to ask how you felt about it after a sleep!! Looks lovely Susie and sounds as though you're heart is putting you there already but remain pragmatic and think through all the cons too (we viewed our current house fell in love with it totally but wanted to be sensible and...

Hi Seraphine I'm not too long back on here either unfortunately slightly more than a stone to lose here :sigh: Good luck and am going to try that coconut chicken! xx

Glad you're feeling better and sounds like a great night (well minus the scratchings can't get my taste buds to like them!) xx

I did consider maybe I'd have to trip her a few times ;) Know what you mean Susie by the middle of the run I'm a sweaty red faced mess whilst she was merely "glowing" bah maybe I won't run with her again :)

Am glad I live miiiiiillllleeessss away Susie can't hear or smell a thing ;). Have a lovely wine infused evening xxx

Hmmmm I will need to go and get the dark choc Vicky mentioned and to think I was sitting outside an Aldi today .... ... Do you manage to ration yourself with ok Linzi? Think I might have to get DH to hide it! xx

Right off to have a coffee with cream all this talk of cheesecakes and choc ices has got to me!!! :D

Hopefully the gnashers come through quickly and it's not sore for long xxx

OOooooooh lamb curry yummy I must get a proper shop in! Need to buy some flaxseed, almond flour for my baking oh and mascarpone which I can mix with double cream and have a no base cheesecake! Dammit even hungrier now and I've had tea!! But the bloody hamster is the noisiest thing ever...

Geez Linzi please don't tell me it's your wee ones teeth, Emilie's been teething like forever already and she's only 1.5!!! Poor thing lots of cuddles will help and calpol (just cos I love licking the spoon!) xx

Well saved!! :D xx Oh bleaurgh sorry Kat1ie I hate wasabi yucky yucky yuck!! xx Carby cocktail hangover I like the sound of that! Must have been a great weekend :D Soya beans vs peanuts - does it compete Vicky reckon I should just buy more chicken, cheese for snacks instead ..... xx

Hmmm sorry Linz overlooked YOUR fabulous news :D:D you are a legend!! xxx

That's a real shame Vicky are you feeling better? xx

Hey Linzi finding it hard (ie impossible!) to catch up with everyone's news but fab news re your little one you must be a very proud mummy indeed and rightly so! xxx

Poor you Vicky can you not eat bread at all now - thought you could maybe reintroduce on OWL and beyond .....? Sorry Susie was being very naughty there ... As I am now an athlete :character00115::character00115::rotflmao: I reckon I need maybe a bit more carbs particularly before exercise...

It's hovis wholemeal 400g loaf its actually ok quite light etc. Any of the small hovis or ww bread are quite low in carbs. X

Well good news I feel slimmer had forgotten how Atkins pretty instantly flattens your tummy and my nice pencil skirt fits (comfortably) again! B - 3 x bacon, egg L - chicken and bacon caesar salad minus the croutons and little bit of dressing, peanuts T - prawn cocktail - prawns mixed with...

Thanks ladies you're superstars would probably be good to take my mind off the studying, exams and role plays I'll be doing!! Thats if you can drag me away from the treadmill ............ :rolleyes: xx

Awww Susie bless thank you I am thankful I still have a job and from perusing your thread you are enjoying yours? xxx I will be based all week in a hotel beside Heathrow for my training and won't be able to travel (boo) is Heathrow anywhere near you????

Awww Vicky it was just one wee small slice of wholemeal toast (9g carbs). xxx

Hmmm better post my food intake as I'm in the diet diary thread :rolleyes: Monday B - ham, cheese L -salad, few cherry tomatoes, cucumber, ham, tzatziki, coleslaw, cheese T -3 x scrambled egg, small slice toast (ok not Atkins friendly at all but was going for a run and needed carbs)...

Right I've got a few mins respite (well before watching come dine with me ;)) thought I should update on where I'm at (diet and not diet wise) ..... Well work is ok was going great until my boss phoned me and said "oh they're cutting the sales force selling the product you do in half but it's...

Or they will hunt you down while you're furtively hiding in other (much lesser!) forums xx Glad you liked the mince recipe must hunt it out!! :) xx

Hi Kat1e - thank you xx Hehehe but you keep getting back on that's the main thing :D xx Well said xx

All you have heard is true ........ :sigh: Hope you're well xx

Thanks love xx

peekaboo :peep: Can I come back - please xx

Sorry - been quiet, sulking I think you could call it but have made a decision that no point doing all this running and then just eating cr*p as SW definitely isn't working so looks like low carb for me ..... You look fab by the way - hows Atkins going are you back on it? xx Thanks...

Bet you'll look stunning! :) Babies are great thanks keeping me busy and older one keeps asking to go back to Florida (best get saving then!). Scarsdale looks scary and just as I'm getting used to eating normal food ......... :rolleyes: xx

Oh sounds that interesting will definitely check it out any good websites you would recommend or google it and take it from there? Hows your holiday plans going? Did I say I was jealous???? xx

All packed and ready to go :) :airplane: Scarsdale sounds scary what are you eating???? Doing fine thanks - just wish I could kickstart the losses will give it another week as I've invested in some books etc and then may review ...... Dang if only Atkins was easier for family life!

MMMMmmmm ponder ponder - what is Scarsdale (low carb I think?) Not long until you're holidays!?????? xx

Hey - drinking loads (peeing all the time :)), eating loads too ... :( Pretty pants huh? Hows things with Dukan? xx

Ok batteries have died on scales maybe why they haven't shifted? (grasping at straws) Feel my stomach is BIG ...... Feel HUGE!! Arrrggghhhhhh ok SW gets another week and if no loss (with new batteries in the scales) I go back to an Atkins type diet it worked for me! B - egg and wholemeal...

Chinese was yummy! Only problem is I've used all my syns and I'll want chocolate later!! Oh it's ok I've realised I've got 1/2 HEb left so can have an alpen bar that'll cover it?!

Ok so let's see what day it is today - B - yoghurt, poached egg on toast (1/2HEb) L - 3 x ryvita (HEb), sweetcorn relish (1 syn), tomato, houmous (2 syns), cheese (HEa) Snacks - fruit D - special chow mein (5 syns), couple prawn crackers (3 syns), bit of DH honey chilli chicken (5 syns) Snack...

Well long day & long drive ... Another RED day B - 2 x Apple in car L - Alpen bar (1/2HEb), banana, some strawbs D - chicken, salad, beetroot, 3 x ryvita (HEb), 2 x laughing cow light (HEa), s'corn relish (2 syns), few chips (5 syns) Snack - fruit! Snack - mini snickers type bar (5 syns)...

Found this recipe for white sauce and you could maybe add your HEa cheese to this ...... 400g/14oz very low fat natutral fromage frais 110g/4oz Quark 1 lightly beaten egg pinch of nutmeg

Ha! Hi vegemite how are you? Please don't use the sauce I did as I think I made massive mistake - have thrown packaging out and on-line doesn't have the sauce but the hollandaise is 10 syns (for just over half the pack!). Off to amend my syns total! Mind you the pie was lush :) Hmmmm...

Red day!!! B - bacon roll (wholemeal roll HEb), tomato sauce (1 syn) Snack - cappucino (using milk from allowance) L - salad, tomato, beetroot, chicken, prawns, ff vanilla yoghurt Snack - apple, 2 x percy pigs (3 syns!!!) D - fish pie - mixed fish, carrot / swede topping, asda fish sauce (10...

Awww sorry hope your friend is ok and you sound like a lovely friend too :). And some things are wayyyyy more important than the gym. Good luck with the shred I plan to do a good run or hill walk tomorrow if my leg's ok! xx

Have been reading other people's diaries and red days do seem to be better for quick weight loss (not surprising really!) so will stick to red the next couple of days as not sure how much the scales have moved (as long as it's not in the wrong direction!) and want to get a good start at this to...

Hi! Thought you were going to be strapped to the treadmill this week ;) xx

Ouch! Leg is sore but rubbed some stuff on it and seems ok for now but maybe no run today grrrrr GREEN DAY B -ff activia yoghurt with passion fruit stirred through, egg and 1 slice wholemeal toast (1/2HEb) L -bachelors pasta n sauce made with water and milk allowance, pear D -asda wholemeal...

Today seems to be a ..... day B - Activia ff yoghurt L - nothing - very bad as nothing SW friendly at hand so decided to be good and had nothing had a pear though when I got home D - sandwich (HEb), cheese (HEa), 1/2 pack wotsits (3 syns) Snack - 3 x ryvita multigrain (HEb), houmous (2 syns)...

I think that's the things with diets they are "easy" to follow to start with but actually long term they're hard to stick to unless they change your eating habits. I do think the red days give you better balance lots of protein to fill you up but also some "good" carbs and although I have...

You're right vegemite I found Atkins inflexible and hated that if you even ate the tiniest carb it put you out of ketosis etc though I didn't go through OWL or anything so am sure it might be more flexible if you did that but for me it wasn't sustainable. How are you liking SW in comparison...

Think it's possibly a RED day today ...... B - scrambled eggs, ff yoghurt L - 3 x ryvita (well almost tasted like cardboard anyhow and we'll say HEb!), tomato, ham, cheese coleslaw (2 syns), fruit (various) D - going to try the sweet chilli chicken (2 syns) - very hot must have been the...

I bet the long haul flights muck up your rhythms so much it must be difficult but you do really well avoiding all the naughty things on the flights and like you say 3 days where you can get to the gym and to some great work :) Hope you enjoy the fry light free wedges!

Hi! Welcome back x No they didn't crisp up but they still tasted nice (to me) I really don't like the fry light (though the olive oil is meant to be nicer as I find the original has a horrible taste!) Are you home for a few days now?

So had my 1st green day and thoroughly enjoyed the sw chips not using any fry light stuff but did use plenty vinegar. Still have some syns if I'm going to max out that is so may have the choccie bar I didn't have last night! Hope I see some loss soon though TOTM is due so maybe not - pah

Sounds good as that's what I'd use it for mainly too - still to have sw chips as been doing red days but tonight could be the night! xx

Thanks - will buy the olive oil then as I can't use the normal fry light anymore it put me off whatever I've made! x

Despite it being very windy I did a good 5km run again today not sure of time or pace as phone and app not working very well it almost landed in the ditch a few times :mad: I know it's 5km as I've ran it before just did it back to front for variety! I felt faster but that could have just been...

I find fry light has a horrible yucky after taste so I'm tending to put spot of oil in pan then wipe off with kitchen roll - is the olive oil one better? x

Morning all well I am disappointed as my home wi shows nil, nowt, zero, zilch = nuffink! Pah will keep going though as I'm enjoying it, definitely eating healthier and not as much rubbish .... Still think it's down to TOTM. Haven't decided what day I'm doing today B - half banana, all bran...

So there were 9 syns left ...... Think I'll have options hot choc and 2 mini choc bars which should just about cover it!
