Why dont your try something a little less strenuous? maybe go for a walk or some Yoga. When it comes to exercise you generally will ache it just means that you've worked hard so GO YOU!!! Make sure you stretch well before and after a session to help minimalise aches. If you have a good stretch...

Any Idea what release I'm doing in pump? its full of Lady Gaga, The lunges are little pulsey ones and then you do pulsing squats in it, its torture, my calf muscle just cramps and I have to walk it off before I have do the next track. Malibu xx

I'd like to add that exercise helps reduce bloating which makes you look slimmer. And I also have alot of stomach complaints and the gym really helps manage the pain, probably something to do with endorphines as mentioned by caroline :)

I wouldnt worry too much about your breathing just make sure you are. I found that once you've mastered the correct way of doing an exercise you breathing will naturally take care of itself because you breathin on the easy bit and then exhail when your working the hardest, for example in a sit...

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone used this. All the reviews on the app store sound great but I dont always trust them, thought I'd ask around here to save wasting time if its a load of tosh. Thanks Malibu xx

Does anyone else do balance? I've tried it before but I'm so unco-ordinated and I just found it frustraiting. Just wondered if its one of those things that you get to grips with over time or whether you need to have some sort of handle on it to begin with otherwise your just destined to fail...

OMG talk about DOMs I still can't walk after tuesdays pump class, they've reintroduced the leg tracks and it came as a bit of a shock!!!!

Love spinning, expect to hurt in unusual places but this goes away after a few sessions, its definatly a good one for burning fat and toning up especially your legs. I used to go all the time before they changed it from spinning to studio cycling... Boring!! if i wanted to go cycling id buy a...

Pump is great you wont look like a nooby for long and I'm sure ther'll be other noobys too. Combat is just punching n kicking the air with other bits n pieces thrown in its not like a boxing class so don't worry about needing a partner :) And in other news.... I upped my bicepts weight to 7kg...

Didn't manage to do my exercise DVD last night coz I went up to my mum n dads and ended up having a shower coz the thought of a luke warm bath did not appeal to me in the slightest (boiler is on the blink) and then I couldn't go and get sweaty when I was all clean. I know perthetic excuse but I...

Hi all, Today has so far been a bit of a mixed up day. It nearly killed me getting out of bed this morning, I dont know why but I was up and down all night and got hardley any sleep... yawn. So was a grumpy witch this morning. Still tired but so much of a grumpy moo now coz I get to send of...

What a douche!!! Ignore the ugly single virgin hes clearly just a wierdo! I'm an all belly girl too. but with no bum and no boobs lol. according to rosemary coneley if you cut down you fat percentages to 4-5% then you more likely to get rid of the belly fat. good luck hun and dont let...

If you've dramatically cut down on your food intake then this is common coz theres not as much rubbish to come out lol. just make sure you drink enough water through out the day and include some high fibre foods such as wholemeal bread or pasta or green vegies. Hope this helps x

chilli and jacket potatoes, I will be refusing the added extra of crispy onions :(

Giant cookies i found in the cupboard this morning, Tesco's finest white belgium chocolate, slobber!!!

Hi all, I've been floating around for a while and did quite well in the run up to christmas and lost about 5 pounds but I have put most of that back on so I'm here writing this in the hope that it will keep me on track, it seems to be a useful tool to many of the ladies here. So I should...

You could make the main part of your meal low cal like chichen and veg and then add a high carb element like pasta, rice, potatoes or chips to your sons plate and give yourself extra veg. if he needs extra fat maybe drizzles his veg in olive oil (good fat). Must be frustrating having a child...

the bag of jelly babies still in my handbag, I should really take them out. I'm tempting fate otherwise. Malibu xx

NOOOOOOOO!!!! lol i did slimming world and then the dukan diet and I'd be happy if i never ever have to look at another piece of pastryless quiche in my life haha there is such a thing as too much of a good think :) mmmm sounds good, I will ask the OH if he fancied it or i thought maybe...

Something with bacon...... any ideas?

Scrap my last post I ate the birthday cake! it was my birthday cake and it was only a small slice so I'm not too upset, the jelly babies remain unopened :) Malibu xx

You look fab hun Keep up the good work :) Malibu xx

tonight is turkey fjittas and homemade paprika chips. really looking forward to it :) Malibu xx

I stopped enjoying clothes shopping because everything I tried on you could see my belly :( I'm now a stone lighter than my heaviest but I've been hovering in the middle of the 10's for a while so needed to do something proactive :) Malibu xx

Birthday cake and jelly babies, I had rice cakes and cottage cheese instead, i deserve a medal lol :) Malibu xx

We're doing a good core work out at the mo, you do a press up possition hand on the step and then dip alternate knees to the floor and then move your knee up to be as close to your elbow as you can and then back again. doesn't sound much but you can defo feel it working both you abs and your...

Soup n Salad sounds great, filling but low in cals, not greedy at all :) malibu xx

Hi Claire, I'm in the same boat as you, I have about the same amount to loose as you but again im finding it really hard to get motivated since new year. My fella's mother bakes cakes and there has been a cake for every occasion this last month to the point where im actually quite sick of it...

I would say 5 % fat, Rosemary Conely says that you will loose fat off you stomach. bum and thighs better if you eat low fat. malibu xx

Im just glad all the new years resolution crew have given up, means I can actually get on a class now. I've no problem with people who want to join the gym but if you not planning on staying more than 3 weeks why bother. And one more thing they've gone n dropped my monday night combat...

I have settles on rice cakes and cottage cheese, carbs and protein at only 120 calories and taste pretty good too. although I did have half a kenetica bar before spinning on sunday and you could defo tell when it kicked in bad side was it tasted like dust haha. Malibu xx

Haha over train not likely, I go after work and think it probably is coz I'm a little but hungry at that time. Might do like Gina said and have half a protein bar, my fella gets protein flapjacks n I could steel them. Jack3d just sounds a bit too scary for me :S lol. I always feel a bit...

I'm Trying to loose weight at the same time, do low calorie protein shakes exist coz I've looked at my fellas n theres like a full meals worth of cals. Thanks but unfortunatly they're Jimmy Choo's shoes not mine and I have no hope of every owning them lol :) Can not stand banannas in the...

Basically I've been feeling a little bit drained at the gym and haven't been doing aswell as usual. I was wondering if there is anything I could eat before I went to the gym that would give me that extra boost, besides a mars bar coz that would defeat the point. Thanks :) Malibu xx

sounds yum, thank love x

I'm doing the C25K which is effectivly Interval training, where you alternate betweek going all out and raising you heartrate and then bringing back down but still keeping moving. I think it's meant to work well because when you go all out you only do it for a short burst say 1-2 min where as...

Congrats on ur loss :) and well done on your C25K, I did my first 1 on Wednesday night and I'm not joking my legs are in agony lol I really struggled which suprised me as I thought I was much fitter than that. oh well will try again tomorrow and see if im any better. Does it get harder all week...

my kettle bell is a 4kg and you defo feel it, i think if you went any heavier you'd be in agony for day lol Malibu xx

I think its true what they say about women, what ever shape or size they are they will never be happy! I start back at the gym today, I've been slipping the last 18 months as I went from going to uni 3 days a week and having time to exercise every day to working full time and not really having...

Back at pump tonight after 2 weeks off. Eeek actually quite scared. I'm hoping there be plenty of newbies there so I wont b the one with the lightest weights on haha :) Good luck everyone with the new year! Malibu xx

Not sure if I could survive of just a cupasoup especially with it being so cold. which is probably why I don't loose much weight lol. 8st13lb I could only dream. I just really wanna see the 9st's, I have really wide hips so Im hoping that if I can get to 9st7lb I should have shifted alot of my...

Hi Nikki, 9sty7lb after xmas n new year not bad at all :) I managed to stay the same but think it had something to do with getting phenomenally drunk on boxing day then spending the next 3 days throwing up, I'm such a classy bird honestly! So back on it as of yesterday and have my fingers...

A kettle bell is a weight with a round handle at the top that you swing about. Its a killer! Tano what does your core work out consist of? Malibu xx

Cauliflower cheese!!!!! I know its not strictly Xmas but I can not wait!!!

Wow well done!!!

414 cal sounds about right it is far easier to eat calories than it is to burn them. If you want to go for the maximum try a few gym classes, step airobics is probably the best because you can burn up to around 600 cals an hour is you have your step over 8inch off the ground. If your more in...

Santa is skint at the moment lol looking to buy a new house so no big pressies this year, hopefully packing and lifting all them boxes and the stress of it all will burn a few calories :) Let us know how you get on hun might bear it in mind for when money is flowing more freely. Malibu xx

sound good! I've just googled it and was very interested until I saw the price lol :) would love to try one out tho x

I've never heard of it what is it?

I have kettlenetixs at home and its amazing how much a little 4kg weight can make you hurt. especially when I used to lifting over twice that in a body pump class (not anymore tho :( I've become a bit of a slacker). What other exercise do you do? Malibu XX

I think 1200 is certainly acheivable especially if you are exercising and eatting your burnt calories too. Good luck!

I bloat really easy so I recon I might look pregnant if I loose weight everywhere else lol

I got some salter ones from argos that measure body fat and water percentage. I think theyre were about 15 quid. I really didn't get on with slimming world found it far to restrictive and I soon became bored with all the free food. Much prefer a lot of little bits that I want rather than alot...

I think thats the plan after Xmas too, limiting the fat can only help cnt it. Malibu xx

Hi, Did you loose your initial weight on CD then? Malibu xx

Hi all! Rosemary coneley recommends that you food should contains no more than 4-5% fat. She claims that if you do this you are more likely to loose the fat deposites round your tummy, bum and thighs because your not constantly replacing what you burn with the fat that you eatting. So yes I...

hmmm well I gained 1lb this week but no suprise as it was chineese last weekend and absolutly no gym fot the past 2 weeks. I'm afraid I'm feeling pretty uninspired to behave at this time of year but I have in my head that I will kickstart on the 3rd of Jan, I have devised a new gym routine which...

well done hun keep up the good work you look fab :)

I know its not a VLCD but if you looking for a quick big loss have you had a look at the dukan diet? you can see big losses with that in the first few week and you can still eat, plus you have enough protein to protect against muscle loss. I would defo give it a nosey I think my mum lost about...

Woop! Love New Look, a whole new world of clothing is awaiting you :) Malibu xx

Morrisons, tesco and asda all do it, I get mine from butchers its alot cheeper, might b worth nipping in to ur butchers and asking. Malibu xx

I STS this week which I'm pleased with as bin completly off track but had a bad tummy so that may have helped lol. My challenge is to not binge on all the nice things ppl keep bringing in to work :) hoping for a STS again this week I'm full of a cold n my hearts not in. Malibu xx

Whats an SQW? We've started release 80 of body pump this week and theres no leg tracks, instead theres 3 core sections which work you legs but not as much, their aim is to increase your core strength bfore reintroducing the legs, in the hope that it will improve your all round performances...

A square wrap pizza is a warburtons squarish wrap with tomatoe puree or sauce organo and lowfat cheese and any other topping you desire, you stick it in oven for 10 min til the base is crispy and cheese melted, next best thing to a stone baked pizza :) tonight is chilli and jacket potatoes...

Pizza was really good, Had a few spare cal so had loads of cheese n it worked put at 433 which i don't recon is too bad at all. Turkey Dinosaurs lol sounds like you didn't do to bad, mmmm fresh baked bread, my dad does a garlic n basil facachia (or how ever u spell it) its amazing especially...

Me and OH have a long weekend off together and were off to york on Sat for the Xmas markets.

Well as a suspected I fell of the wagon this weekend resulting in a stay the same. quite annoyed with myself. I've brought my lunch to work and gunna try again because I know I can physically do this. just need to have more focus on the weekends. Malibu xx

Pls can I join ur meeting pls. Won't b weighing til Monday so cnt join ur weigh in this week.

Hi Lucy, Are you a SW member? If so look in the front of your book where it shows all of you super free and free foods, next to the foods there may be some letters nxt to the items such as s, f & c, you need to look out for the s and ss in circles these indicate speed foods (s) super speed...

Nikki you've just inspired my decision for whats for tea. was thinking something with chips coz its friday and square wrap pizza sounds yum!!! Malibu xx

Well done MrsWilsonCroft!!!!!

My plan of action is to use them if i want them. For example if im extra hungry in the evening because of exercise. I wont count them in if I dont feel I need them. I'm trying to stay clear of sugar and treats as I recon that if I have just one I'll want another and another blah blah blah. so...

I've been a bit of a traitor to the SW way. I've been counting calories all week and I've already lost 3.5lb. Please don't kick me out you club :( Malibu xx

wow thats not many cals at all. are you not ravenous? :) Today I've had: Bagal and cream cheese - 305 WW Chicken noodle soup - 51 ravioli & 2 toast- 304 no gym today so no extra cals to spend. Malibu xx

Betty I'm not sure I would agree with you fasting, I think although u may see results fast I think you will damage you matabalism in the long run and the moment you start eating every day the weight will most likely pile back on. Not to mention how **** your going to feel, It may effect you...

Hahahaha turkey and mash sorry missed out the commer lol my grammer is appauling as is my spelling most days :S

I'm making turkey mash and veg with a bit of gravy I think. MFP says its 357cal but I would be inclined to rate it at about 450 so i can as more veg. Malibu xx

I have drank ALOT of tea this week just to keep my mouth busy. I've given in and started eatting a late afternoon snack as I either go to the gym after work or OH does and I dont get tea til like 8ish. I don't want to jinx it but this is the first time I've felt in controlle of a diet and...

I've started taking my breakfast to work with me so that I don't snack before lunch. I can't go with out breakfast it makes me feel bit sick. Malibu xx

you could try having handy things to snack on. I've just bought a tin of WW chicken noodle soup and its only 51 cal for the whole tin, the other flavours range from about 90 to 150 cal. I think the moment you start doubting whether you can do this is the moment it goes down hill, so allow...

I went from doing SW to CC, I'm only 4 days in but I'm finding it soooo much easier. I like the fact that I can have toast or a bagal for breakfast coz I can tell you summat if I don't have to eat another egg for a very very long time I will be happy. I definatly feel more in control and so...

Was knackered last night so I failed on the squats and didn't bother using any weights, but on the plus side I did up my hand weights and I can defo feel the difference this morning. They're starting a new release of bady pump next week. All the instructor could say about it was that it was...

Thanks hun, was quite worried that I was going to have to put up with feeling hungry for the nxt 6 months lol. Yep thought it might be water but still makes the scales look good :) Malibu xx

Hi I started Rosemary Conley on monday and I know its not strictly calorie counting but from what I can gather its calorie counting but making sure you have a balanced diet. So my question is, I'm normally a big eatter and always snack between meals. Now I've stopped snacking Im getting really...

Thanks love, I've started today and hopefully by xmas I'll be in my good bum jeans after all :) Malibu xx

Gina when you say you 15kg do you mean overall on on each side? Malibu xx

I don't have an issue with understanding slimming world because you are basically cutting out all fat and sugar. But I think that you right in that its the unlimited amount of food that you can eat that is slowing the weight loss down. I'm just waiting for my book to come and then hopefully...

So are beans and peas not super free?

Oh I have no idea, but what ever it was my hamstrings an arse are killing lol :) Malibu xx

Morning All, I wondered If I could pick your brains, I'm currently doing Slimming World but finding the losses a bit slow. Do you think I would benefit from Rosemary Conley or do you think I would see the same results? There arn't any classes near me but I have ordered the book. I'm just...

Ahhh it makes sence now thanks :)

Well it is star week (or rather star 2 days, so I suppose I shouldn't be complaining) and OH kept me up with his coughing so I'm dog tired and all I want strangely is a ham salad sandwich with calslaw. So today I am going to give the body what it wants in the hope that I can limit the sabatage...

What is Mr M?

Is spinning part of Les Mills?

yep what she said. You don't loose wight as fast as on red days but i find it much easier to do. But judging from your weightloss your finding reds easy enough, Well done! F1's a bit of a family thing watched it since I was a youngen, usually just watch it in the hope that button will take his...

The rule is one third so I would say that sounds about right? Are you doing slimming world by yourself or are you in group because it might help to read through your books just to remind yourself what you can have on each day.If you dont have a book im sure there is a sticky somewhere on here...

no theyre both free on extra easy, if thats all you've eatten that you've said above then its all free on extra easy and you havn't eatten any of your hex's.

If you have only had one of each hex then you will be find to switch to an EE day because you've had plenty of superfree with each mean. Just make sure you have plenty of veg with your pie :) Malibu xx

yep I also have the red gene and occasionally the purple one too. I just make sure I'm really well hydrated and carry on drinking loads once the class/gym is over, it doesn't stop me going red in the first place but it dues dye down a bit quicker. Also just remember that it is only you that...

well done vixp thats really good :) little princess I am on the hunt for parsley sauce lol Malibu xx

Sounds yummy :) would you make your sauce with milk and cornflour?

Fish pie yum, how do you make yours? Malibu xx

I find that if I aim for 7 syns if I go over its no disaster as I'm still under 15 syns and also if you try and incorporate speed foods it make you think more about what your putting on your plate which overall is better for you that going ahhh fluff it I don't know what to cook lets order a...

I run out of breath before my legs give up lol, should I concentrate on my legs instead? :) Malibu xx

Ouh bloody hell they look deadly. I doubt very much that you will be using weight. That would be really bad for you knee I would have thought. Just thought that I'd add that my bingo wings a killing today, serves them right for flapping about so freely though! Malibu xx

Hi jodieboo, If I have 2 of the same food I count it as 1 unless I have it at different times of the day then I count it as seperate. Went over syns yesterday had a mad sugar craving so ate a milky way which was 10 syns so had 14 all day which in the real world isnt that bad but on 777 its...

I know what you mean hun, I've been with my fella for 2 years and we've been living together 6 months and he tells me he loves my 'cuddly bits' and that I look good the way I am. So I therefore have no issue with sitting infront of him and scoffing an entire bag of minstrals. And that there is...

poundworld, mug shots 3 for £1, although they only had spicy tomato that was syn free. I'd never had it before and as a word of warning to anyone else who wants to try it... wow they wern't lying it is definatly spicy, should be called chilli mugshot coz I can't even taste the tomatoe. Malibu xx

I've heard rumours that the new body pump wont have any leg tracks but 3 core tracks instead. Has anyone else heard this? Malibu xx

Ok finally decided what I'm having for tea, Turkey stroganoff, which has turkey, mushrooms and onions in it and I will serve it with some rice and some more speedy brocolli, carrots and peas. Really looking forward to it although I will have had mushrooms 3 times today, Im gunna look like a...

Garden Peas and Peti Pois are both super speed.

Haha if only it were that easy! I wouldn't worry too much about it too much it was one slip and you didnt let it ruin you whole day and go on a mad binge. chin up hun we all make mistakes. Malibu xx

They have a tendancy to do the rounds here too, it's only coz they don't have better things going on in their lives. Haha wish they had one of them at my gym I'd be really interested in giving it a go :) Might put a suggestion in the comments box. malibu xx

I just thought I'd update you on all the lovely things I have turned down so far. Yesterday was the choice of custard slice or donought (this nearly bloody killed me!) And today there was; chocolate brownies, quality streets and short bread buscuits. And I said no to all of them. I think I'm...

1lb is still a massive achievement :) especially when you've not for that much left to loose, if it was easy we'd all be stick thin :) Malibu xx

You'll do that easy I recon :)

I weighed in on the 1st of Novemeber and had put on 1.5lb so all in all I havn't really lost a sausage, 3 days on with a new found lease of deternination and a 100% track record I think I should aim high to keep my motivation up. So by the end of November I would hope to have lost 7lb, but even...

Haha your gunna looks like a speed food :)

Yey well done! :) Yesterday I was 100% again really quite pleased with myself, would have usually turned to the biscuits by now. So todays menu is: Breakfast: tinned toms and egg on brown toast (hexb) Snacks: hot chocolate (2syns), plum if it dnt taste as bad as yesterdays. Lunch...

Oops sorry misunderstood I thought you meant fresh orange juice :O yes carrots are speed food :) Malibu xx

Yes please do join in the more the merrier :) I would like to make an alteration to todays menu.... I will no longer be eatting 2 plumbs as I ate one this morning and it tasted like dirty dish water so I will not be eatting the second one. Also I am planning on spending my spare 3 syns on...

You've had 6 speed foods today :) Have you been synning your orange juice? Malibu xx

Good luck tomorrow. Malibu xx

Ohhhhhh cadburies snacks, I love the ones in the yellow packets. Probably not a good idea for me to have these as I wouldn't just stop at 1 :(

AGHH! just thought I would share that one of the girls in our office has just nipped out on a cake run and here I am staring at my plum thinking about custard slices. hey ho that is the price we pay for being slim! Malibu xx

mmm chocolate for breakfast I could go with that lol. Hopefully going florida in April if all goes well. probably need to stave myself between now and then if they have chocolate for breakfast theyre gunna have to roll be back on the plane home :) Malibu xx

Honk for yesterday! 7 syns. lets hope its a sign of things to come.

Your book will list loads, they have a s or ss next to them, therese got to be atleast 50 or 60. The list above is just a few that I bought when I went shopping on Monday. If you like fruit your on to a winner because I think theres only grapes and a few others that arn't speed foods and alot of...

Looks very speedy to me, you have that 1lb off in no time. Whats a purple snack? Malibu xx

I'm loving the sound of that pink n white microwaved! Need to get some alpan lights they're really good for breakfast on the run. Malibu xx

Yea thats great :)

Hi vixP please come back and let me know hoe you get on :) Susy a mug shot is like a cup-a-soup but with pasta or noodles in, much more filling. If I remember correctly all the ones with under 2% fat on the packet are free on EE and possibly Green (not quite sure). Anyone who knows for sure...

Well done you on you 100%'s :) Malibu xx

Good luck for weigh in :)

Oh well If thats the case then I best start drinking lol, Thanks Princess Stevie! Malibu xx

Hi all, 777 week is: 7 speed foods a day 7 syns a day for 7 days I've personally be struggling to keep focused so I am doing a 777 week in the hope that it will give me motivation and extra weigh loss inspiration. Here are the speedy foods off my shopping list: BNS Pinapple Onions...

well I put 1.5 lb on very disappointed because that takes my total loss back to 1lb which in about 6 weeks is quite shameful :( However I am determined this week to do better, I went shopping last night and have lots of speed foods at the ready. I want that 1.5lb back off this week if it kills...

I had a gain this week so I'm also starting a fresh, I've done my shopping and will be attempting a 777 week (7 speed foods, 7 syns for 7 days). Well done on your 100% day, and well done on the water, it is dificult to drink alot I agree. Good luck for the week!! Malibu xx

We only got 2 trick or treaters so we've got a full bag left, im going to have to get the bf to hide them somewhere lol Malibu xx

It wont be long now fun curls just half a pound :) you can do it!!!!

Yup having a child will do that to you, an form of organisation is out the window :) Good luck tomorrow I will be back to see how you get on. Malibu xx

I have a pair of jeans from river island I used to call them my good bum jeans but i have to lie down on the floor to get them done up and there is no way I can possibly leave the house wearing them lol. So i'll be interested to see how you get on with you clothing motivation lol. Good luck...

SW chicken curry, gunna throw in a load of chunky onions and couliflower, I've been craving curry all week so can't wait. Does anyone know any good pilal rice receipies so I can make it more authentic :) Malibu xx

hi all! and welcome newbies :) Hmmm well I had a sneeky peak at the scales this morning even though its not weigh in till tomorrow (naughty!) anways I am once again the wrong side of 10st7lb and am now 10st8lb hopefully its a faulse reading and will look better tomorrow, but that very unlikely...

Hi hun just wanted to drop by to tell you that you're doing fab and that I think it's quite a common issue you're dealing with. Do think its the fear that you will fall off the wagon? or that 1 xmas pudding will have detrimental effects to your weight loss? you clearly have a huge amount of...

I havn't even looked at the scales this week :( actually scared for tuesday lol.

7 syns per day 7 speed foods per day 7 days if I can figure out how to make a new thread im going to start it on tuesday, hopefully there will be a few ppl that want to join me n maybe a few other will spot it and give advise. Malibu xx

HONK! but it is only 9.47 haha the day is still younge, but I have brought my dinner to work and aslong as no one brings any cakes round I should be ok :) Malibu xx

I weigh in first thing in the morning (after a wee ofcorse) it shows the most flattering weight and I know that I can't blame any gains on what I've had to eat that day, although I do try and think of other excuses tho lol. My point being that it probably was ur tea that weighed 2lb especially...

Thats just plain unfair :(

I have beef caserolle in the slow cooker, lots of speedy veg in there and will make some mash when I get home. Malibu xx

I only have little boobies which makes my tummy look bigger, so any triple F's wanting to share you know where to fine me :) Malibu xx

If you tell the fellas that there will be a national shortage of brocolli and appleas hahaha :) Malibu xx

You have some very inspirational photos, will be popping back to read this thread. Malibu xx

Egg & Chips. Simple but very satisfying :)

This has inspired me to have brocolli for tea :)

I usually make quite sloppy lasagnes lol so I can dip my chips in the sauce :) but defo converted on this one, firm lasagne all the way haha. Malibu xx

the receipe is on the 'I miss lasagne' thread, In the receipe section. If you can't find it let me know and ill post it here. It had more of a firmer texture than white sauce but worked really well, will defo be having it again. I just blobbed it on as it was. the OH really enjoyed it too...

My understanding of over cooking veg is that the nutrients is lost in to the water you're boiling it in. But with soup that wont be an issue as your eatting you cooking liquid so cook away the longer the better :) Id do it on low for about 8 hours aswell. Malibu xx

Last nights tea was Simon rimmers lasagne. Was a bit concerned it would taste rank coz its made with cottage cheese. But happy to report it was lovely if now slightly over done as I got bk late from the gym n had left OH incharge of the oven :)

I was going to start on tuesday as I wont be gong shopping til monday night, plus its weigh in tuesday morn so will be able to tell if it make a difference or not. I have a week to swot up on speed foods :). if we all do it we can report back here with our finding :) or someone can make a...

From experience I find primark do really good fitting bras, unfortunatly they don't last 5 min but if your not planning on staying the same size for very long then that wont be a problem lol. Malibu xx
