This will be the first time in 4 weeks (8 fasts) But I have just realised that this week is not the best week for a WI, as it is TTOM....Perhaps I'll aim for next Sunday then. To be honest I would/will(??) just give in too, if there is no loss. And I used to have a half decent weight loss (on SW...

Thanks fillymum, that's dead helpful to me too. Call it bookmarked ;)

Ha ha, Just noticed what I had written. I meant guts...not gits....although I have been known to call myself a fat one.! I have will have been been doing this 5:2 a month at the weekend and I haven't noticed much difference tbh. But, I might just get on the scales, for the first time since...

Thank you, I shall have a look at that Brad Pilons site. I love your term of phrase btw (food in your gits) Good luck and best wishes

I don't seem to be shifting anything at all tbh. But, as I said in an earlier post, I am not going to get weighed until I have done at least 2 weeks (I am on my 5th fast today) as I will just pack it all in if there is no immediate result. However, one of the 5:2 forums says that you may not...

That, was really interesting stuff Miss PeriPeri. I do feel sorry for the Muslims doing Ramadam, as (apparently, please excuse me as I am ever so niave in this rather interesting information) they are not even allowed water from dawn until dusk/night-time......( I only found this out a month...

Well done Tarty and mishelly, especially with it being the holidays. I am fairly new to this game (the 5:2 anyway) I have been doing the S/W for ever, (since I quit the weed) and I think that I must have just got too complacent with it, as I lost loads of weight with it, before I stopped...

Well done on the lost pound. Great news. :D What,on average, are you losing please Tarty?. Plus do you do exercise on your feast days? Apparently, you are supposed to and although I often use my exercise bike 4 times a week, I am often 'hit and miss' when it comes to my 3 days off.. :sigh: Plus...

Hi All, Again, I hope that you don't mind me popping in to say Hi. (I usually follow a S/W thread) There are quite a lot , that seem to be doing the S/W alongside the 5:2. I have been doing the SW on and off for ages, but since I stopped smoking (2 years ago) I can't seem to shift anything. So I...

Probably a bit late now, but I often use low fat Philli type cheese, as I cannot always get low fat cottage cheese over here. And tbh, I prefer it, as you don't get all the lumps. Mind you we only snack on ours throughout the week, (as opposed to a main meal) so I count it as a HEB.

Wow, Well done caroline..I shall look for that over here too then..Just out of interest, how much was it please?? ;)

I don't know whether anyone can help me with this one. Mercadona do a postre with coconut and pineapple, that is 97% fruit. Please could anybody help with the syn value per pot. K,cal =110 proteins =1.0 Carbs= 21.2 Fats =1.8, saturates 1.6. If not, do I use the 20 syns per calorie conversation...

We must be behind you with the Iceland offers, as we have only just got the Philly offer. And we never (or ever so rarely) get offers in Murky Donner!! Humph!!

I do exactly the same Sibella, and there is always something for the hubby to snack on too. I used to, and still do occasionally, put quorn sausage in too. However, now they are no longer free, I tend now to use chunks of ham... Delish hot or cold....and with a dash of tabasco!!

Thank you ever so much Pommette. There are 270g in one pack, so yes you are right, that will be quite a few of the little blighters. I will hopefully, get sick of them before I get anywhere near 17 syns. Having said that, the home made free S/w pate goes ever so well on them...Too well infact!!

Please could you do me a conversation? Bimbo Silueta light Pan tostado Per 100g... 305kcal protein......14.3g Carb.........67.1 sugars.......2.7 fat............5.2 sats..........2.1 They also give the figures for each little toast, which I would imagine to be similar (albeit these are much...

Thanks for all those terrific recipes cheekymoo (aka known as cake lady???) I am going to make the chocolate cheescake. The problem is that over here, we have the Chocolate Philly made with Milka and it is a lot more fattening.. I am about to browse around and see if someone has posted the syn...

Wow, Thank you so very much for that info, to liveordiet. That is invaluable info... Bet it's more that that to get it delivered to Tenerife though. I shall check it out, now I have thanked you...It has ...surely to be cheaper, than the €6.50 an issue that I pay here...Ooh, having just checked...

OOh any more like that please cheekymoo???

Enjoy Bev, and send us some pics. x

What are the new allowances then? I cannot go to class neither, but I did notice in the magazine they have gone from 28g, to 35g. Is this on all plans? Oh, so confused, make no wonder I am not losing anything. ;(((

It has been freezing over here, with temperatures down to about 16 some days. However, it is the chilly wind that is making it cold. Even the locals are saying it hasn't been this cold for years. I think things are looking brighter at last, with sunshine all day yesterday, and hopefully today...

I find philly works just as well, if not better. That way, if you don't like the 'lumps' in cottage cheese, they are....obviously...not there. Plus you can add a bit of 'zing' with the garlic and herb variety..I am not too sure about the syn value though, you would have to use a fair few HEX...

Hi All, Sorry that I have been awol these past three weeks, Some of you may remember(if you actually remember me, that is) I was going back to England for a holiday. I actually came back lighter (63.8) but, now my sister is over here with me, I have gained again. Now at 65.0 Back where I...

Pommette, Powla reporting in late, with another 1lb loss.. And I am away in two days, so, see you when I get back (14th) I do hope you are enjoying your hols (or tour of duty as I call it) and it's not too cold. Do I need my Sketchly boots then?? Keep up the good work. I didn't think you'd be...

Well done Bev, you seem to be getting your head around it again. :clap: Hev, have a super time. I would love to go, in fact I may have a word with Hubbs, as we can get a ferry, directly to Maderia from here.I was also going to comment on your lovely new photo Bev, reporting a whole pound off...

they said its only fair that we get something- they said we could have money towards work on our roof that still needs doing, or join them on Caribbean cruise!! My hubby said we have to go for the cruise! My mum has ovarian cancer and may not be with us in a year or 2 so its going to be one of...

Ooh sorry! I am at 64.4.. I think that too, is a stay the same... But I have just realised, I go back to England on the 2nd. How can I stay with my beloved sis and eat loads of curries,, drink rather more than a glass of wine and hope to lose weight??? Having said that, I am going to cut out all...

Annie - I think you said you'd had a munchy weekend so a STS is good. Sounds like me with some Aero Mint Bubbles last night which magically leapt out of the fridge at me! :8855: Sorry to ask this ...but, just why did you buy them in the first place, if you know you maybe tempted? lol I have...

The Gin-normous comment didn't go unnoticed Ellebear lol, but hey! (hopefully) you only have one honeymoon and if you can;t have an odd drink then, when can you? I hope you had a fab time(where was it you went again?) Welcome back,anyway. What a great attitude x :D

Someone advised me a grapefruit a day. Whilst I haven't been having one each day just half and my scales aren't working I have been having 1/2 a day and my clothes are feeling a little looser! Its WI Wednesday so we will see if the grapefruit challenge has worked for me then! Oooh! Let us know...

Hope you all had a good weekend - night folks, speak tomorrow. Does this mean you are actually going to go to sleep?? BTW, Mercadona, sell, in their beauty dept, near the feet and finger stuff, a natural product to aid your sleep along with relaxing you. It comes in (an awful smelling) capsule...

Hello all. sorry for the late one from me.. Wayhay! An actual loss, for once...(but it doesn't half make one feel better!) Reporting in at 64.4 Pommette. BUT, we have friends here now, whom want to go to the 'pig farm', for suckling pig...That is on Wednesday, plus, want us to 'do Chinese'...

Being a bit serious here, (for a change) and this is my theory only, I find being conciously relaxed when getting weighed really helps...(as does holding onto the sink while weighing at home..lol,) but good luck who_ la hoop

Ha that makes sense now as Bev really did do well this week!!! If you click on your or another person's name, it gives you the option to 'find more posts by....'!! X Ooh thank you so much. And well done to Bev too(You will lose that 1/2 this week I am sure,. I am sorry, I seem to have had a...

No probs with the 7 speed foods for 7 days. But no way could I stick to 7 syns a day! How would I have my wine !!!! :8855: Oh, Goodness, spare the thought!!.... but I am going to do it this week.Con no vino.. I have just won a competition, for 2 nights in a 5* complex that normally costs...

Yes please..Ooh sorry, I get so mixed up with Hev & Bev...all the time, plus I still am not computer literate with this site,Is there a way that you can just go and see an answer to your( or my) post, without reading througth everything else on the thread please?

Well, well done Hev, please share your secret..I too am posting my results, I think it was a stay the same Bev, at 64.6. There will, however be a bigger loss next week,,,,watch this space

It can be done... just not a lot of fun!!,,(says she who has hardly lost a bean since joining,), but is so determined to after celebrating.(IF I have to join in all the celebrations , which I am surruptiously trying to get out of) the 3,yes 3 birthdays this coming week.. Good luck to you...:D I...

Just checking back in after hols. I'm going over to the new challenge now and taking my remaining 2.25 lbs with me! I'm going to add (or hopefully deduct) a few more lbs for the challenge to take me to 60kgs or 132 lbs. That means 3.8kgs (9lbs) to lose before Christmas. Doable I think with some...

Powla - as I am a mathematical genius that also weighs in kgs why don't you just tell me IN KG your current weight, what you want to get to and report in every week in KG and I'll do the conversions for you! Aw'ight ??? (all right to any non-southerners) Oh that will be super. Thank you so very...

not enough superspeed, not enough food in general, not enough water still, onwards and downwards for next challenge At least you have beaten half of the battle... You know where you are going wrong and can correct it...in fact they are maybe my probs too? Or maybe just too much of everything...

Think your stats have gone a bit awry though!! This is what they read! Start Weight: 146lb Current Weight: 142lb Goal Weight: 190lb :8855: Don't really think you want to gain 48 lbs do you? I am so tickled with that too. I must admit, I am so useless with conversions. I have to convert kilos...

Well done! Good girl! That's a 1/4 of a stone

Powla- To lose lbs (0 lbs lost ~ lbs to go). Back again to the 8lbs..that's all I ask H.e.l.p!! At the mo, (..well it was on Sunday) 10.01

Use 20 cals = 1 syn as a rough guide. Not tried the sugar free lemon sorbet lollies, although have tried the sugar free "mini magnum" immitations. They're pretty good too! Thank you, thank you, for all that information.. Do we really, really need them though, I ask myself,??, especially when...

Chicken/Turkey mince = 5% fat :) Beef mince = 12% fat Pork mince = 20% fat What about the mixed Pork/beef one though, please?? However, I wonder whether you get ALL of the same products, here in Canaries, compared to the Peninsula.. We shall have to maybe compare prices too....for amusement...

Hi again, re- the mousse, come choc o' feu pot.... chocolate thingy from Mercadona...(they have changed the packaging, that's why I thought there were none in,when I asked the question in August) Here goes... each one =130g and the stats for each pot are;- k/cals.....82 Proteins...5.5 Carbs,11.8...

Please count me in... And, I am so, so so determined to lose the 'lard' Scaril(l)y..(articulates, please do not correct spelling)I weighed in at 10.1.... A massive leap from last week!! What on earth is going on???

I'll go for whatever I've got remaining on Monday - hopefully only 2 pounds. Although I may carry on depending on how I feel You can do it, you have done so well, so far!! How do you 'stop' doing it though?? It is now a "way of life" That is a question I actually need to answer myself too, I...

I would just like to say, that I admire all of you that have posted on this thread. What a superb attitude you all have, especially xMandyx. I too need to gain that attitude once again, (I did it with stopping smoking in Jan, so I can do it again, surely, with losing the weight I put on???)...

Well an unexpected loss for me. And I really do not know how. On Friday I was up, on Saturday I was back to same as last week (after a HUGE meal on Friday night) and this morning I've lost 2 lbs. :D BTW, I totally forgot to say, "Well Done Bird" A super dooper result for you.Keep up the good...

SotW goes to Powla for a great 1.5 kg loss = 3.3 Thank you...as she takes the 'necassary regal bow', but a weekend up to Puerto (where I actually lost the weight, that I think was a fluke, given we were all inclusive) Plus friends over, I think I have blown it.....All!!.Every single tiny...

Hi Powla! Ha ha this amused me greatly that you got myself Hev and Bev mixed up! Although my Mum is also quite doolally at times, so we have sumink in common- as well as rhyming names!! I think you may be right with that one, Hev/Bev (lol) plus you both also have time for my ramblings Bev is...

Ooops sorry. I am getting the two of you confused (Why I clicked on you I'll never know!! another minipaws sign...forgetting things!!) I was right about your mam though Bev? ( the fact that she made it over to see you?) I hope that fact was correct... Umm?? Having said that, you are all super on...

Try looking at this site. It is not one of the better ones, but does explain quite a bit. This also happened to me and on top of all the info that the site provided, also, try drinking lots of water,before, during(if you can) and after excercise...It does help I just started exercising...why am...

May I start on the 5th of October please??(only a few days previous).. not being funny, but I rather think it will take it's time.(And I have my mind around starting on Wednesday I just wish people/customers would stop saying " what do you want to lose weight for?? There is more fat on a chip...

Me too girls... (note, not many boys seem to be on this site) We went up to Puerto de La Cruz, all inclusive, for two nights, Came back and I have actually lost a bit.(1.5 kilos) This is way too late for the original target,challenge..:mad: Sorry. BUT, when the 'Old year out/advent challenge,'...

Hmph, sorree, The total 'thicko' springs to mind! I've done it this time

Go for it sweet.. What have you to lose? (no pun intended) I also would like any one of my lovely friends on this forum, to explain how the quote thing works. I have tried to read up on it, but I am either a total 'thicko' or I need to get back to school! Powla

Ooops sorry. I am totally new to all this forum stuff, so I didn't know :(

Wow! What a lovely offer thank you. I really don't know. It is probably quite obvious to all when I say that this weight gain came on whence I stopped smoking. (now done 8 months..woo-hoo!!). I started craving salt, which came in the form of peanuts and peanut butter (straight out of the jar-...

Anybody know the syn value of a Magnum White please? I have not long ago( 4hours...) had a wisdom tooth out,ugh, ugh and the lovely dentist told me ice cream was good..So , Husband type person, bless him, brought me a Magnum home. Actually a good/bad idea. Good for the tooth (and my headache...

Well, well done Hev. Super dooper news. What an amazing feeling hey? I bet you could have kissed just anybody tonight, (hmm!! maybe you did too lol) 3lbs in one week is some achievement too. Please share your secret. I am stuck, stuck stuck.:sigh: . Well done that bird :D xx

The very, best of luck and a very happy birthday for tomorrow... Life begins at 40-so they say!Life's what you make it, so go for it girl!!

I also hate the "Oooh, you look so well!!!" comments. "You look fine just as you are". Hmph!, Grrr!, Well!, YOU put yourself in MY shoes,(which, miraclulosly seem to shrink too?!), where your clothes feel tight, you feel bloated and generally yuk, and you see HOW MANY chins?? when you actually...

OOh thank you. Make no wonder my clothes were fitting a bit better. Since stopping smoking and piling the weight on,I have only got weighed in kilos. And that's because I do not understand them, really. But, at the end of the day, a gain, is a gain, in whichever 'money' you use. Soo, How stupid...

I really really feel the cold too, (yes, even here in Tenerife) I invested in an Argos electic blanket on one of my trips over to the UK. They are much safer nowadays, than their 'old' reputation. ( I even throw mine in the washer) I would never ever be without it now. Plus Argos now deliver to...

Again, well done to JAYLOU and VITOLOGY. Sorry Funcurls, I did forget, so my awesome ...ahem.. gain, is of 1.6 kilos. Is that about a pound and 3/4, in English money?? And, we now have another Calima, 35*c in the shade & hubbs brought the thermometer in when it reached its max of 50, So I dare...

Well, leapfrog, do not worry! Superb news to all the lovely ladies that have lost weight, especially to Pesty... How well has she done? Well, to report my 'loss' this week... I have gained... Garrgh!! Has anybody else had this 'phenomenon' where-by, you start a load of excercise (vigorous power...

And my body is strange whenever I'm away from home and I get really constipated (tmi) :( I'm not making excuses, honest ;) Crikey! That is me too. Is it a change of water, or what? I have to take some of those 'little pills' with me, whenever I go away. Having said that, they generally 'do the...

Have no fear - I'll probably have a gain too this week. Friends staying who love to eat does not equal loss. And I'm so weak willed when it comes to Spanish tapas which I know we will have quite a bit of this week. I so know the feeling. I have finally got the bar owners to get me 7up light...

Wow! Funcurls. all the best. for the official WI. I do hope that your scales are in tune with that of your meetings ones. I am sure we shall find out in the soonest of time, but, at least you are not far-away now. Good Girl

So do I. I would love a drop of rain right now( And how strange is it, that I chose to leave England for that very reason, and dark nights and dark mornings...plus political reasons, that I hope we never discuss on this site...and what can we change anyway?)..Is it 6 more weighs? I am definately...

Aw, Good luck sweet. We have all done it, and have all thought similar...Why, why. why? Just think positively.... "Right, back on the straight and narrow tomorrow" Plus maybe a brisk walk (that works wonders for me!...why undo all the hard work you have done??). Once again, good luck...or rather...

Well, for what my opinion is worth, why not say thanks and eat the lot? After all, if they are syn free, it is better filling up on those, (or even a whole chicken.... minus skin - and bones I hasten to add) than, for instance, crisps or Toblerones, or what ever took your 'fat days' fancy. Keep...

Thank you ever so much. None of it is shifting -at all! I am so despondant :break_diet: and am wishing I had never given up smoking... although, I do think it's an 'age' thing too.I have got spots too, which I haven't had for years and years Grrrr!! Ho hum!!, chins up and keep up the good work...

I don't believe it Pomette. They have gone! Actually, I too am not a choccie lover, husband goes mad! I still have a box of Ferreros bought by a customer at Christmas...with 3 out!!.. Plus, the last 'La Ligera' one I ate was dated 'best before 6th March' And that was only a week or so ago? So...

Hi all of you, Please may I join this little scenario? I think I have lost a little since quitting the wine( when on days at work... I only work one day a week..lol- ) and I have starting power walking. But I daren't get weighed just yet. If I haven't lost any, (bearing in mind, muscle weighs...

Three Quid for two?? I have to pay €2.83 ,for one.( Not one Weetabix, 1 pack of 24) I would maybe, ... (please-lol) suggest that you send us some over, if they weren't going to be crumbs when they arrive...Umm! In that case...Maybe not!!:character00100::character00100:

Do you weigh it Yapdog? You get much more for 'your money/weight, if you do Weetabix Crunchy Bran, Or, Weetabix,..or, like me, mix the two.. Its maybe cheating, I dunno, but the OH has lost over 4 stones on this formula... Ohh, I forgot to mention the banana...lol,And it is with semi skimmed...

Y, tu tambien. x Hasta pronto..o manana! Please forgive me if I am rubbish( at the language)...therefore. please educate me and teach me a little . Bearing in mind, The 'Peninsula' speak differently to us here..I.e 'Grathius', as opposed to Grasious, here... therefore more of a 'Th', as opposed...

Love the new pic fillymum..Is it an indication of your personality? Or the way you prefer your chocolate? :giggle:

Wow, Thank you Pommette. I really like the sound of the pork Dijonnaise.And the trout recipe sounds wonderful and easy, although I tend to shy away from cooking fresh fish, I am definately going to give that a whirl...Is it free? As I would count the wine as negligeble. lol!! I wonder why I...

It does all seem to be 'have your cake and eat it', which I too, for most, just will not work. We all need discipline, to some extent..I think anyway.

Yes please. Although I don't quite know how it'll work, as I have not yet got 50 posts. I wonder whether this supposedly quoted message will work for me? How rubbish am I?? lol

Ummm, not sure what I have done here..Sorry! I shall have to look up how to reply to bits of messages, wthout quoting the whole sheebang. I did say I was new at this forum lark..

fillymum ...

Crikey, where to begin? Thanks to you all and a Muy Grande Gracious to fillymum, who, took the time and trouble to type me out a whole load of verb tenses.:D I do know the basics, very much like Pomette,present, preterite and future, but, maybe I shall be a bit more fluent in 31 years Wow...

Seemingly, The aforementioned S/W crisps are 3&1/2 syns per 28g. I did read it on this site over the past couple of days...Don't ask me where though. I am still a bit of a novice with it all.I am sure it will all gradually fit into place one day...I maybe 92 and past caring about losing weight...

Plus.. I don't know if anyone on this thread realises, Goods are manufactured to suit the countrys taste. For instance, the Spanish like their foodstuff sweet (and salty) , therefore, Cola lite has different measures of 'sweet(e?)ner' in it, to the English version of Diet Coke.. So just to say...

Hi all, Thank you for the lovely late welcome fillymum. I too enjoy the site and find you all very inspiring. Pomette, we too are inland a little. We are about 15 minutes away from the tourist resort of Los Cristianos,which is where I work, just 4 days a week. As we are 'up in the mountains' a...

You are all lucky over on the Peninsula. I have never ever seen a fresh raspberry (love love love them) Or a blueberry, here on Tenerife, although, I suppose, on the upside, we do have 2 Iceland stores, with a third on the way, eventually. So much red tape hey? :confused:

It was the sun temperature, the shade was a little cooler. Not a lot mind! This aft it clouded over, but that does make it hot & sticky too - and airless. Still, we shouldn't moan, I mean I always say when the customers moan, "Ahem! Why pick an already hot place to holiday at, in August, if you...

Great to find you all, I am so giddy about it.( little things please little minds..lol) The weather Pomette was 53 on our balcony at 2pm on Tuesday. We have cooled down a tad tonight though, thankfully. Thank you for the welcome too. I am still trying to work out whats what on this site. But I...

Hi all, I cannot believe that I have just seen this thread especially for us overseas. Having said that I have never used a forum before and I seem to be a bit of a 'thicko' with it. I shall have a good thorough read through everything all you have posted (bedtime now) but I would just like to...

Honk. Got my head back into SW mode...and did a power walk, so is that 110%?

Ooomph, All this talk about 'bottles' of wine, according to the Government guidelines, shouldn't we be talking about the odd glass..darlings. Hee hee

Wow! Thanks for all that info, I do appreciate it. I only ever do a 'fist sized' potato and Hubbs and I share them. There are a load of crisps out of that one tattie however. Make no wonder Walkers could afford to pay Linekar to advertise their product! :))))))) Well done on your weightloss so...

Are those the crisps you make in the microwave 'I dream slim?' I make those quite regularly and I too thought that if you use your potato as HEX B, plus the frylight, all would be fairly syn free. Does anybody know any more info please?

I go for sugar free mint Smints. They are virtually syn free,( I can't remember exactly how many, off the top of my head, but minimal) and after a couple, you lose the taste for anything else. Great ploy!!

I have just realised that this is a bit late...but for next time.I was told 24, maybe the 26.5 was for sweet. You could mix it with sugar free lemonade, or soda to spin it out a bit. I hope you enjoyed your night.

Mine are: 7 up light, veggies, eggs, chicken- in any shape or form fresh fruit Crikey, how healthy do I sound?? Nobody asked what else I bought..Only the top 5.. Hmmm!!

My Hubbs read me out an article the other day, saying that, too much natural sugar in fruits can make you actually gain weight.. I was a bit skeptical about this,. and still am. But I too eat an awful lot of fruit, have tried cutting down, but there is no difference in my weight loss...(or lack...

Charliebarley, The best of British to you. Forget the cake, but take your toothbrush and every time you fancy... erm 'a nibble'!! clean them. Whereabouts in Tenerife are you going? I live & work here, And really struggling with my weight too, since I gave up the weed and ...(I think) started...

Hi, I am just curious here. They sound gorgeous, but as I live abroad, (no access to a meeting..and only want to lose a large half a stone, since stopping smoking and totally relying on you all you lovely people for info) Is a packet of Smash free please? I have also heard of pizza /garlic bread...

Thank NiaX... I do love this site, Otherwise I would not find out things like this. And to be fair, they are so trivial, but yet so important.. Thank you x

Thanks Irene, sorry for the tardy reply, but I am struuggking a bit, finding my way around this site (I have never done a forum before) Plus my pc was poorly sick and dying for a couple of days, Good luck with your journey too... And you are never a grandmother.... surely???

I wonder whether you could find out via either the newspaper, or asking of a SW club in the Redcar area??... Maybe a bit embarassing if shes put a load back on though. I would too love to know

I find the SW so easy (once you get your head around it), But I admit, I follow the original Red /Green days. Good luck Miss Preston

Garrgh, you wouldn't think so though, looking at the spelling lol

Honk too ... Not a galss of wine in sight. 7up light with a spash of lime... Not quite the same, but refreshing..

Thanks for the Iceland ones Jax. I live abroad, so sadly no Asda/Morrisons..... but we DO have an Iceland, albeit with quite limited (and sometimes expensive) selection. I shall copy your list down.... even though when I get there, I inevitably think "I could make this myself, healthier and far...

Steph,did you enjoy it? If you did, don't fix what's not broken. However, if you feel room for improvement I would maybe suggest 2 eggs...That is what the 'original' red day used to use for the corned beef recipe. It would come out less 'souffle-ey' if you know what I mean? Not that we are...

I will do and thank you. Popping out now, for my last drop of wine. Ho hummmm!! It's got to be done....and actually, although I have lost weight before, with both SW and WW I am looking forward to the challenge. We shall see how long it lasts tho Lol xx

I hope so. I am starting my diet properly tomorrow, as it is the first shift back at work, following 3 days off, so I am hoping it'll be easier. Ha ha!! I don't want to loose a boatload of weight, just about the stone I put on whilst trying to stop smoking... don't suppose my age helps...

I work part time too, so I have time to cook and I do cook healthily. (well I like to think so anyway lol) I do a S/W tortilla every Sunday, for lunches at work and hubbs to nibble on. Plus I love the free pasta n' sauce and Savoury rice. All are dead quick, easy...... and free. I did wonder...

Me too, Just the one leads to how many???......that's of whatever takes my fancy, especially peanuts.Oh! I forgot to mention, I am trying to stop smoking and had my last one on the 5th January...hence the peanuts...and the weight!!!

And I'm a newbie too. Hello everyone. I have been folowing the site for a while, I am a bit computer illeterate, but finally I thought I'd give here a whirl.(after all if I can negotiate F/B!!!) I haven't a huge amount to lose,(about a stone) but as I live abroad, I need all the help I can get...
