My favourite would be mandarins..they're easy to peel and carry around. I love most fruits though!

Hiya!..Just popping by to see how you're getting on so far this week?. Hope it's going well for you!

I'm doing great, thanks!. I'm here nearly two weeks now and have lost 2lbs so I'm delighted. I hope to lose as much as you, you did so well. I see that you're doing pro-points online, how do you find it?. I did WW a few years ago, when it was just plain old points and I lost quite a bit on it...

You look fab..Well done!!. You can really see the difference in your face. I love your new haircut too!

Well done on all that exercise yesterday..I'm sure you will see big changes soon and not just on the scales. Hope the headache has eased off for you today. Have a good one!

Aw, you must be a busy girl at the moment!. That's a good goal for March. Best of luck!

Those green thickies sound really nice. I think I'll get some ingredients in next week's shopping. Hope you're having a good week so far!

Ooh..maybe you could blend some fruit and have that in the morning?. That would only really be a 'drink' and not breakfast!!. Hope you have a big lunch planned!!

Ok, I thought I was going mad..I went looking for your diary again and ended up on the other one. I thought you had deleted all your photos..eek. Glad I found your food again!. I love all your lunch ideas. Can I ask how you make your courgette fritter?..Bet it's lovely with the hummus.

Aw..We'll send you a mini virtual pancake later!. Good luck with your Lent challenge!

Hi everyone! Just wondering if you will be making pancakes later and what healthy toppings you will use?. I'm thinking chopped banana and stewed cinnamon apple might be nice. My little boy has chocolate sauce & icecream to the ready! Anyone giving up something for Lent?. I'm going to try to...

Good luck today!. Glad your omelette was a success, it sounds delicious. It's a lovely day over here so I think I'll get out for a walk later. Have you got any exercise planned?.

That looks so tasty and easy to make. Thanks for posting the link!. Here's another recipe that I often use from that site: Spaghetti with tuna, capers & chilli recipe - Recipes - BBC Good Food It's so easy to make when you come home from work. All you do is cook the spaghetti and mix the other...

Aw, that's not too bad at all. You can maybe do a bit of exercise when you get home..that'll work off the muffin and bust some of that stress!. Fair play to you for resisting the other food. It's hard to stop yourself when other people are eating it in front of you. Have a lovely relaxing...

Great!..I'm going to try for 7 pounds off and aim for more exercise in March. I've been letting the exercise slip.

Well done Fulltum!!. Let me know if you're doing a March challenge and I'd love to give it a whirl.

Hi Emma! Best of luck with it all. Where are you going on holidays??. I'm only here a week and it's great for picking up tips. All I've been doing so far is watching portion sizes and stopping eating when I'm full. I've lost 2lbs so far, yippee. I think if you eat healthy & exercise, then there...

Brilliant names!. You'll have to stick up a photo of one of them as your profile pic, lol.

Hi Katherine Natalia! What's in a green thickie?-Sounds interesting!. I have a very filling lunch/dinner that might interest you. You can mix up some hummus & feta and put it in a wholemeal pitta with a serving of salad. You will be stuffed! If you need a snack to keep you going..you could get...

Yay!..Good for you, that's a well healthy day and you got some exercise done too. Keep up the good work!

Hi Nikky!! Best of luck with it all. I also went a bit mad over Christmas..it's hard not to!. That's cool about your rats and mice..have you got funny names for them?. I had a pet mouse when I was younger..he was called DJ Plop, lol. Hope you have a great week!

Hi MinkyDinky! I'm delighted that I found your food diary. I'm not doing SW but it doesn't matter, your diary has given me some great ideas for this coming week. Thanks for posting the pictures!

I agree, it really shows on your face!. You have a nice, nipped in waist too. Keep up the great work. You look fab!

Hi Hoz, Have you ever tried any of the Leslie Sansone 'Walk at home' workouts?. There are a couple of them loaded up on Youtube that you could check out. I think she's a great motivator and you can do the workouts at your own pace. Best of luck with it all!

I just lob in a tablespoon of the paste from the jar after the onions have browned, then chicken and cook it slowly after adding the yoghurt. Actually, I should have said earlier that I also lob in a can of chopped tomatoes..oops. I'm not sure about Atkins but would some poppadums be better than...

Hi Autumnbabe!, I fry off some onions in Tikka Masala curry paste, add the chicken and then some low fat yoghurt. If you like it hot, you could add some chopped chillies. It's quick and easy. Ooh, you're making me want a curry for dinner aswell..yum.

Hi everyone, We're booked to go to Maspalomas this summer and I am VERY excited. I was just wondering if any of you have any tips on what to see while we're there. I have a little boy so we'll probably spend a lot of time at the beach..but we are also thinking of hiring a car. I'd love to hear...

Best of luck today, Greensaints!

Sunday 19 February -------------------------- Breakfast: Saucer sized serving of fried new potatoes (not the healthiest of breakfasts but it was all that was left in work-I'll bring my own brekkie next week!) Snack: Small bowl of pineapple chunks, melon, chopped mango and red berries. 3...

Ha,ha..I read your thread title as 'So sick of children, please help', lol. I think I need a good cup of coffee to wake up!. I'm not too clued in with Dukan..but could you mix up your chicken with spices and some of that yoghurt in a blender..and then serve with some chopped up hard boiled egg...

You do sound very organised!. The fact that you've planned the shop and what you're eating at your mum's is brilliant..if she's anything like my mam, she shows her heart through her food and that ain't good for the waistline!. I just started a diary last week and I'm using to plan my day, and...

Ooh, I'm so glad that I read this. Thanks for that advice, WL Epiphany..I'll try that instead this week. I usually just dunk the tea bag as I'm so impatient!. I think the fruit teas are good if you are having craving for something sweet..especially cherry, yum.

WOW!..That is a brilliant achievement in such a short space of time. You were dead right to book a treat-you certainly deserve it!

Hi GreenSaints! I just wanted to wish you all the very best. You sound like you are very organised and I'm sure you will do great. I'm just 'eating healthy' at the moment but I have tried Low GI before. I went to the library at the time and there was a huge range of Low GI cookbooks available. I...

Well, I've had a lovely few days break visiting my family. I did well with the healthy eating but hadn't much access to a computer to log my diary. I'm back with a bang today! Saturday 18 February -------------------------- Breakfast: 2 small slices of brown soda bread with marmalade. Snack...

Hope you had a great night!..Sounds like a delicious day all round!

Thank you Eternal Optimist!. It was delicious and it was great not to have to weigh portions. I did it by eye and by hunger. I'm getting less and less obsessed by the day!

Monday 13 February -------------------------- Breakfast: Scrambled egg with 2 slices of toast. Baby bowl of fruit muesli topped with a small strawberry fromage frais. Snack: Hot chocolate made with water. A couple of marshmallows and a Refresher bar (haven't had one of those in years!)...

Well done Peppa Pig, lol. That's a nice day planned!.

Thanks Bumblebum!..Are you going to do a diary aswell?

Hi Bumblebum! (Cool name!) Best of luck with the healthy eating. I just started yesterday and it feels like a weight has lifted off my shoulders regarding counting calories/points. I wasn't even hungry yesterday, which is surprising. Hope you do really well and see a big difference in your...

Wow!..You look absolutely amazing!. Three stone gone forever..Well done!

Hi Breaking-Free, I can totally identify with your frame of mind at the moment. I have been following a calorie counting diet since Christmas and I have been quite hungry on it..at the same time, I was congratulating myself that if I'm that hungry then I must be doing something right. I lost...

So, after many years on one diet or another, I've finally had the Eureka moment. I am going to eat what I want, when I want..except I will stop when I'm full. I hope to include tons of fruit and vegetables each day as snacks..and I want to try new healthy recipes each week. I will try to...

Hi all! I'm really liking what I read here and hope I can join in. I've tried so many diets over the years and I seem to just get bigger & bigger. My latest thing has been counting calories since Christmas. I've been feeling quite hungry and I've got to the stage where I don't believe I should...
