Quark!! I have just found quark in Newcastle West Tesco, Co. Limerick. I have previously looked but nothing and then found it by accident this evening. It was sitting in the middle of speciality cheeses and meats. Couldn't believe my eyes. I used to always look in the yoghurt, cream and...

Hi everyone, I haven't fallen off the wagon. Just been too busy all weekend to go online. Its just been hectic. I was delighted to be down by 2lb since my horrible last weigh in. I had been up 3lbs but now have lost that and 2lb more. EE seems to suit me and is a lot easier to follow. My weight...

A bank holiday weekend and Im at home baby-sitting but I don't mind because I have a beautiful grand-daughter (Im a young Nanny) and she is so good. I have her staying over and she just went off to bed and not a word. I feel quite proud of myself today because I watched my visitors eating cake...

Hi everone a good day again on plan. Its such a beautiful day, its that bit easier not to be comfort eating. Im so motivated reading everybody's journey and that its a plan for life and can't be done in a few weeks. I have no patience, I want to see losses every time I stand on the scales...

Thanks Shrimpy. I forgot to congratulate you on your amazing loss. 4.5 stone loss is some achievement! :clap: Good luck with your maintenance!

A New Day! Its amazing how some days are so easy while staying on plan can be just impossible on other days. It was 10 o' clock tonight and I realised I still had a HexB and 15 syns left. Usually I would have them before lunch and still be craving something else. B-Just a banana because I was...

Thanks Shrimpy will do as I would only snack on rubbish otherwise. Roll on another new day!

Today was very difficult sticking to plan as I was out and the menu didnt help matters. But Im glad I have to write it down as I will be able to see the damage. B-A lf yoghurt and a banana. L-A BLT with mayo Syns????? (Wholemeal bread but the bacon wasn't all lean and probably full-fat mayo)...

Thanks everyone for all the info. Im after finding the quark in a Spar supermarket in Abbeyfeale, Co. Kerry would you believe. Was only passing through and seen it. But at least now I know where else to buy it, thanks to ye all. x

lol If I was supposed to syn tea, 15 syns a day wouldn't be anywhere near enough. Im trying to cut down at moment by drinking water. I gave up the cigs in January and seem to have changed my addiction to tea and food. I have come to terms with the fact that I will always have some addiction. If...

Yes Louisa. I used some of my HexA for weetabix but said I'd better syn for my tea in case I went over. I hadn't measured the 350ml but did't use much for breakfast. Thanks for reply x

Hi everybody thanks a million for advice and motivation. Ive started afresh this morning and decided to try the EE plan. Yesterday was off plan as I was out with my Dad and fed up so ate a roast beef dinner and apple tart and ice-cream!!! :break_diet: I feel better and motivated again this...

Thank you to Louisa also. Will try the green tea and as much water as possible. :)

Hi LittleMissPeacock thanks for advice and motivation. Yes I have learned my lesson last week. Went to a friend's house unprepared and was very hungry hence the chocolate and cheese sarnies! I will try the water and exercise and hopefully it will work. I forgot to ask about portion size but...

Thanks Louisa for reply. Yes Im using the same scales and decided to weigh in on a Saturday moring every week. I haven't been drinking any water at all but as you said it can make a huge difference. So will try to drink as much as possible this week. Im not going to give up and maybe I might...

Hi I was wondering if anyone can advice me please? Im doing the plan at home and lost 4lbs the first week but this week I have gained 3! My only lapse was last Sunday when I ate 2 chocolate bars and a toasted cheese sandwich extra to plan. Since then I have been doing a mixture of green and red...

Hi Kezabel thanks a million for reply. Im living in Cork. I will look up that website in a moment and try the polish shops tomorrow. It would be great to get it as there would be so many different recipes i could try. I already tried mixing cottage cheese and natural yoghurt but it didnt taste...
