Have made a salt and chilli chicken for tomorrow but if I feel like it I may have some later lol!! It's all peppers and onions do my 1/3 is covered.

I'm finally understanding the importance and usefulness of the 1/3. Love that fruit trick )

Lovehandles..I can't find your diary (I'm on iPhone app). I'm so looking forward to WI and posting my loss. Good luck to you for tomorrow!! I'm not a big drinker either thank god so dont have those syns to worry about!

well done you, your menus are very appealing...love the sound of your salt n chilli chicken, do you mind me asking how you do it? also i will be trying the fruit for starters from now on - though you must buy a lot of strawberries, do you need to buy them fresh every other day? god so many questions, sorry

 

[Amo1979]

Hi Debtin, I love my food so my menus have to be yummy lol!

Yep I've been eating one full large punnet of strawberries a day. It's strawberry season so at the moment I can get two punnets for EUR5 so I buy 2 every 2nd day! Seriously though I cannot say enough how much of a difference this fruit immediately before meals has made to me. It has been my biggest revelation to date on SW. I'm feeling great as well, super energy for a change I'm expecting big numbers this week judging by how my clothes are feeling!

How's your journey?

 

[Amo1979]

Hi Lovehandles, lucky OH headed to Oz! You can defo pull another 1/2 stone while he's away! Imagine the shock when he gets home lol!

I'm weighing 16st3 at moment. Would love to hit the 14's then at least I can get into the high 11's (target) while looking somewhat decent (I'm tallish lol!) but being this size makes the weight loss a panicked rush!!

 

[Amo1979]

Oh ps Debtin re the salt n chilli chicken...

It needs tweaking and I'm going to work on it

I used
2 roasted chick breasts (it's shreds easy!
Red peppers
1 red chilli deseeded and finely sliced
1 onion chopped into large chunks
4 cloves garlic
Paprika
Tbsp flour
Few tbsp water
Tsp salt

In bowl mix the paprika, salt and flour with water then shred the chicken into this and mix well.
Fry the onions garlic and chillis off then add the chicken mix and fry together for few mins.

This is basic so you could mess with it. Ice googled the recipe so I know there's more I can do with it to get a more authentic version. But that's very nice too though very dry!

 

[Lovehandles]

That's what I'm aiming for. I want him to come home and say "you've lost weight" I'm being good so fingers crossed!

There's no rush! You will hit your target! Slow and steady wins the race. I don't mind loosing slowly now cuz I stand alot more chance of keeping it off. Can't wait for ur first weigh in! X

Well doneon your loss. You seem really determined to do this.
Getting great ideas from your menus, the look really yum.
I tend to do a lot of green days, but eat a lot of fruit. Love that SW encourages that.
Best of luck for the week ahead, and enjoy the couch to 5k. You will be surprised how much energy you will have.
