how do you lose 2 thirds of your self?

I love your postive list Mandy and your quick turnaround after the binge slip the other day. You've really got things cracked :)

How was the pasta pudding received? Saw lentil shepherd's pie on Rach's/blackwidow's diary too, am after the recipe - seems like good frugal feb food :D

Hope you're enjoying your hols xxxx
 
ok lentil sheperds pie recipe if any body is interested, works out free on ee and green if you use cheese as a hexa

i don't really measure any thing when i am cooking :eek:

red lentils cooked as directed on packet
onion
garlic
mixed peppers( i used frozen)
carrots onion celery (frozen finely diced mix from sainsburys)
mushrooms
worchester sauce
veg stock( depending on how saucy you want it)
salt and pepper (to taste)
mixed herbs
potatoes for mashing
grated cheese

frylite pan and soften onion and mushrooms
add garlic, herbs, worchester sauce, pepper
add mixed peppers, veg and lentils and stock
cook for a couple of mins then put in a suitable dish
top with mash potato and sprinkle cheese on top
back in oven till cheese golden brown

It tasted much nicer than it looked and i will definetly do it again

I am very much a taste it and see cook so don't really measure things, i blame my mum :D cos she taught me.

i actually have a grade b at o level for home ec (that shows my age doesn't it :eek:) so should know better

If you try it let me know what you think :D
 
Mandy, you are doing so, so brilliantly, just keep as focused as you can, and if a blip occurs, draw a line and just go forward...Your progress and positives so far show you how you have come forward so far xxx
 
Hey sweetie, I am so happy to see you have gotten over your wobble, we all have them some bigger than others ...ahem Pringlegate :eek: but I have just copied and pasted what I have realised lately and what I wrote on Jackie's diary just a few minutes ago:

It is not conceivable to go through life eating nothing but healthy food to lose weight, that's why so many people fail, you have found your sensible eating regime, good and bad foods and it is working perfectly
and this applies to you as well hun, in fact it applies to the majority of us ...so just keep going sweetie 4 and a half stone in 6 months should tell you that you are doing an amazing job :bighug:

Hope you're enjoying your time off sweetie, concentrate on you. :D:

The Lentil Shepherds Pie is almost identical to how I do mine, since I was diagnosed as being diabetic 5 years ago, I read many books on diabetes and one of the staple foods mentioned in just about all of them is Lentils, so I use tons of them, buy them in 5kg bags from my local Indian Supermarket come wholesalers...love them very yummy especially in Chicken Dhansak :drool:

Been doing the Frugal February challenge, that I read about on here, Started it last Friday and have so far spent this week £44.47 and my freezer is still choc a block as are my cupboards and pantry Mal built ...that's about £80-£100 saving for me ...so that's going in my Kitty for our Christmas Market Meet (hope it's still on by the end of the year) as will every penny I save this way xxx


Sweet dreams lovely lady :zz: :hug99: xxxx

I have had a lovely afternoon out with the parents :D

meal was lovely had cajun chicken and swopped the chips for a baked potato shared a portion of onion rings with my mum and had diet coke to drink :D

then i had cake :break_diet::sign0007::rotflmao::rotflmao::rotflmao:

I had planned it cause you can not go to this place with out having cake its the law:D:whistle:

It was lovely cherry swiss roll ( i didn't have cream on it :D) and swiss roll is a fat free sponge so if you discount the cream filling and chocolate coating it was quite healthy :giggle::Na_Na_Na_Na::hmm:

so now down to a real good week lots of exercise and lots of free soup and veggies going for a 4 lb loss this week i know i can do it and i WILL

hope you all had as good an afternoon as i did :D
