You can add all sorts to your salads.. cold meats, boiled eggs, avocado, salmon, tuna with mayo, cheese, pickles etc. Re IF I usually finish dinner around 7pm then don't eat anything else til around 12.30/ 1pm the next day. I don't wake up hungry usually.

Could be better! Had a few carbs yesterday after a stessful morning. Back on it today! Planning on having crustless mini quiches with salad and salami and other low carb bits for dinner tonight. Lunch maybe avocado and bacon on these Atkins crackers I got from Amazon only 1.8g per cracker...

Have you weighed yourself since you started? It is quite a lot of cheese for 2 days. Are you having any veggies or salad? No carb cravings is a good sign!

Hi! Typical day is coffee with cream and keto collagen during the morning then something like a tuna mayo salad/egg mayo salad/ cheese and bacon salad with pickles and pork scratchings at lunch. Or a hot lunch of cheese omelette bacon and mushrooms. Evening meal as above. Sweet fix is the...

For evening meals I have been cooking the things we would normally have but serving them on a bed of veg (with a sprinkling of cheese on top of it goes) Casseroles, bolognaise, chill , curry, roast dinners. Maybe stirring in sour cream in the case of chilli and curry. I've found it I really want...

Hello! I just started a new keto thread as I didn't see this one! I've lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks on keto. I did it before 2 years and did really well losing 2.5 stone but health issues meant I gained it all back this year. My husband lost 3 stone and has maintained this. Good luck with it!

Hello! Returning to Mms after a 5 year absence. Back then I was on SW but now I am all about keto! Would like to start a new thread for keto if anyone is interested? My husband lost 3 stones on keto and I did really well on it 2 years ago. Lots has happened since ( healthwise)and I now need to...

Enjoyed reading your diary! You're doing great. Well done!

Hey Sally. Food sounds divine! I am all better thank you. Off plan over Easter and back on it now. Managed to lose 3 pounds last week somehow so I am now in the tens!! Very happy with that. Addicted to salmon with sw fried rice and roasted veg at the most..yum Take care of yourself xxx

Ahh brilliant to have you back! You were missed! You sound very positive which is great:D Missed your lovely food. Take care of yourself xx

So so sorry to hear about your elbow Sally!! :( Poor you! Bet its so sore. Fingers crossed for some speedy healing xxxxx

Mm what a lovely feast day of food! Sounds like you are doing great combining 5:2 and SW. I am having one of those days where I can't stop eating and don't feel full. Coming up to *week. Still on plan but a lot more food. Happened last month too and I sts at weigh in which I would be fine with...

Hi Jo and welcome! You're gonna love it!!!!:)

Morning! Up at silly o'clock with my little one but happy to say my scales didn't lie! 3 pds off this week! Really chuffed:p . Have a happy weekend xx

I agree that you should try sweet potato instead. Also try a baked potato with something else on, not beans. If you feel the same you'll know its the beans!:)

That's a brilliant loss! Well done you! Xxx

Hi! I use all my syns for chocolate and cheese on that week and usually stay the same weight wise!! Xx

Pot looks great Sally! And well done on your loss this week:p I do SP's all the time...naughty I know. Scales showing -3 this week but let's see what happens between now and tmrw morning! Had a disaster with my BNS chips :( They were soggy even though I cooked them for ages. Soggy yet going...

OK found a recipe and will give them a go tonight! ;)

Thanks for the tip about celeriac and BNS chips, they sound right up my street! How do you make them? Xx

Sally you really make me laugh! Thank you!! :D The fly! Food looks lovely as always. Glad you are not feeling dizzy anymore. I am officially fed up of salad... Arrrgggh!!! If I see another lettuce leaf I'll crack up! :p So my superfree/speed food today has been roasted veg. Enjoyed it too. Have...

Morning Sally! Lost 2 and very pleased :D . so that's 9 pounds in less than a month which is not bad. Just had 2 slices of toast and butter to celebrate..whoops! Hope you have a lovely day and you are happy at weight in xx

Hey well done on the 1.5 off! Aren't bodies weird?? Such a shame about pottery, I would definitely complain. Seems they were too eager to take peoples cash instead of checking everything was in place to actually run a class! Annoying for you. Just had my second yoga class and really enjoyed it...

Ooh your lemony pasta dinner looks amazing! Hope you have a lovely day and your good mood continues xx

I really like it! Got mine at Holland and Barratt. For breakfast I soak 2 slices of bread (hex) in beaten egg with a bit of sweetener then dry fry it in a non stick frying pan til all golden. Then drizzle some choc shot over it and have fruit on the side! Its amazing!! :D

Off plan over here too! Oopsie! Back on track tmrw eh guys?? ;) Wishing you all a 100%er tmrw xxx

When you cook their burgers, sausages and meatballs not one bit of grease comes out. You have to frilight your baking tray or they stick! Worth a trip over to the dark side of town I think ha ha. Doing OK thanks. Certainly works! :D

It52, depending where you are in Notts you should check out Bonds butchers in Carlton. They make their own very low fat burgers, sausages and meatballs that are lovely. We never syn them and it hasn't affected our weight loss

Hi! Well done on only 1lb on! :D Glad you enjoyed your pottery class. Bet it was great fun. Your pots look great for a first attempt! I started a yoga class today and really enjoyed it. Quite hard work though! Hoping to tone up a bit.. That salad looks delish. I just had jacket potato and smoked...

Hi Sally! Hope your de-wonking is successful and you are back to normal soon. My second weigh in yesterday morning showed 4 lbs off so I'm really pleased! Have been looking back through your diary for food ideas and tried some new things this week. Today we have been to Reds True Barbeque for...

I like your style! You are a tweak rebel! :D Must be because you're from Notts...me too! I say if you are happy with your losses then what's the harm. You have some great ideas.

Your goal is defo doable and good luck with it! I have to have chocolate every evening with my cuppa so make sure I have syns left for that. There are lots of low syn crisps around and look into low syn biscuits too. Low fat rich teas for example. You can do it and you will! :)

PB2! Courtesy of Sallyvater. Its powdered peanut butter with 85% of the fat taken out. You make it up with water and it is just like regular peanut butter! 2syns for a tablespoon. Bit pricey but totally worth it. You can get it from Amazon :p

Wow that's fantastic! Well done you!! :)

That soup looks awesome!! Yummers. So impressed with the PB2 Sally. Amazing to be able to have pb on toast for brekkie. I do keep a food diary for myself but not confident enough to put in on here yet Hope you are fighting fit soon xx

It didn't but I know what to do now ha ha!

Hello Nellie and welcome - 5 lbs is a brilliant loss! Were you chuffed? I know what you mean about getting in The Zone - it's great when you're in it and feeling it! Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed reading my nonsense - Have you got a diary I can come and visit? Chuffed to...

Hello Sally! I love your food diary! Read through the whole thing and got some great ideas. Thank you I am in the zone with SW! Been on it 8 days ( this time..ahem) Lost 5 pounds so far. Thanks for the foodie inspiration and the laughs! Xx

Have made the Beef Dhansak from the website with brown rice and stir fried curly kale x

I weigh myself every morning and it generally is a positive thing for me. Helps me to stay on track I think. Know its daft though. ; ) x

Good luck to you too! Hope we all sort ourselves out soon xx

Oh ok! Feel like i need more info on Green for some reason! Can't seem to get to grips with it. Maybe me just being dim then....; ) x

Think before EE came along you got given a red or green book. Let you know if i find one xxxx

Ahh i have been feeling like this too! Tried to do a few Green days for a change and ended up having junk food for a meal Thurs and Fri. Its emotional eating for me i think. Have had some very stressful things happen this week and seem to think i need a reward/some comfort! Hope you get back on...

Weird thing has happened!! The last 2 days that i have decided to do Green i have massively fallen off the wagon! First time since I started SW 7 weeks ago. i know I am in the danger zone anyway as i only have 5 or 6 pounds to go to target and i feel really slim and good about myself and not...

Well my first Green day today! Feel all over the place with it to be honest. Much more confident on EE as i know it so well. Had ryvita and laughing cow light for breakfast with fruit, banana and yoghurt for snack, veggie chilli on jacket potato with laughing cow for lunch, fruit again for...

Aldi Thai Salmon fishcake and chilli sauce with Jacket potato and salad - yum! xx

Great - thanks! Will let you know how I get on... Just have to persuade OH that he wants to do some Green days too! ; ) xxxx

Last night our consultant told us this is now a HEX - 35g I think she said! x

Great thread! Was discussing this very thing last night at group with my consultant and planned my first ever Green Day today. Have been doing EE for 7 weeks and lost 19.5 pounds so far so it does work for me but I want a change and like the idea of extra Hex's as I am a carb lover! Today...

A variation on the broccoli macaroni cheese found on this site. Put mushrooms, leeks and tuna into it and made it into a pasta bake. Having it with a load of stir fried spring greens and garlic on the side. CANNOT WAIT!!

Same here - tinned and frozen and pickled beetroot and cabbage too! xx

We are having SW style KFC chicken with spicy rice and salad then the half a syn roulade with blackcurants blackberries and cherries inside which may not last til dinner as we just tried a piece and it is amazing! Just like a cream cake! xx

Hi! Welcome back! Your new consultant sounds great- it makes such if a difference if they seem genuinely concerned about group members. You will do brilliantly! Loving it so far - been on SW 6 weeks and lost 1 stone 3 pounds. Good luck and post on here often - it really helps! xxxxx:D

Hi! Love this thread... I too get excited at meal times Foxy and that must be because we all really appreciate our food now. Before we could eat anything we fancied (and we did!) and it becomes a bit boring in a way. For dinner tonight we are having fillet steak with butternut squash risotto...

I always have a bit of a treat after weigh in but I certainly don't have a blow out. We always have beans and eggs on toast on that night as its quick and I don't get in from work til 6.15pm and don't get back from class til 8.45pm. My treat is to have it on WHITE bread and sprinkle some cheese...

Brill! well done xxx

Grizzly Man your breakfast looks epic! Like the idea of banana on the same plate yum x :D

Banana and coffee first thing, then Easiyo F F yoghurt and berries, now toasted bacon and cheese triangle sandwich...yes I am having a HUNGRY day! : ) xx

Have just made this for tea and going to have it with potato wedges and lots of salad. Think it will be a case of trial and error with the thickness as I made this one very thin and it seems almost too thin - very crunchy. Think it will be tasty though! Next time will do it slightly thicker...

Well done on your great weight loss! Minimins will help you so much xxx ;)

2 egg and cottage cheese herby omelette on 2 slices of toast with a squirt of ketchup and LOTS of coffee!!

My first post! : ) We are having Beef and Red Wine Casserole with Sweet Potato mash and veggies from the Extra Easy All in One cookbook. Can't wait! Really enjoying Slimming World xxx
