It all starts now...!

Hi Joanne! Just catching up with your diary. How exciting is the fast/5:2 diet?!!! If I wasn't breastfeeding I'd be all over it! When I get to target I'm going to experiment maintaining using this plan, I read that if you don't want to lose weight you only need to do one fast day! If I have to fast one day a week and have a normal healthy(ish) diet the rest of the week with the odd homemade dessert, I'd be one happy bunny!!! Have fun and enjoy your diet!

Thankyou! Yep there are lots of people who've lost their weight beforehand, or on 5:2 and are able to maintain by doing one Fast day a week. Great eh?! It really does suit me perfectly aside from the fact I wasn't eating "normally" over the long weekend Back on it now! xx

Yeah, probably the best lemon chicken I've had since i started dieting properly! My Mam made it and I did find it a bit too lemony..she said she stuck to the recipe though so personally, I would use a bit less lemon juice next time. That aside, thumbs up! xx

EDIT: Mam just said she doubled the sauce recipe as we had double the chicken...duhhhh! Hence too lemony

Nice Dress

Since when are Velvet Crunch Salt and Vinegar only 40 calories? That's only 2 syns! They are 4 syns for the cheese and onion flavour so now I'm wondering if I have been missing out because I LOVE the salt and vinegar flavour!
