Ladies that munch

Well done on the losses!

Naz don't leave us! I've had an appalling few weeks only losing 1.5lbs over 3 weeks and lost 2lbs tonight! It does come off eventually!
 
Hi Superstar Naz

I did Lighter Life last year. I lasted 6 weeks on it and lost 1½ stone which is great but there are down sides.

Firstly its really, really hard - you cant eat ANYTHING just shakes, 1 bar a day and lots and lots of water. I became obsessed with food, with the smell of it. It drove me crazy when people eat near me I wanted to grab it out of their hands. The other thing is that as soon as you come off it, in most cases the weight just goes back on. Obviously there are exceptions and people have kept it off for good but its a long process of 14 weeks total abstinence followed by several weeks of maintenance and then slowly reintroducing food. I wouldn't recommend it other than as a quick fix if you are going on holiday and want to lose a few pounds quickly. Also when I came of it my metabolism was completely shot. I went straight back to SW and stuck to the diet religously but I was putting on weight every week rather than lossing because my body was storing every little thing I eat.

Have I think about it seriously before doing it. x

My car is broke tho, so im bussing it into town, then walking to the leisure centre, then vice versa back to work, then bussing home :( Can't wait to get my baby back...feel like my arm has been chopped off lol xx
 
Seems like its just you and me chicky :p

Glad the wee man did so well at his swim meet! :clap:

Was out with mum today after my Zumba session. Had lunch while we were out and its so blooming hard to find something SW friendly! I ended up having a baked tattie with prawn marie rose....:confused: the salad was pitifull but I ate mums peas to try and make up for it! :D

Been to the private podiatrist and fingers crossed I am on the way to walking normally!
Have new insoles to sort out how I walk and after half a day with them my poor tootsies ache!! :cry:

Yeah...hopefully, you'll be back to normal in no time. I have to wear the spazinsoles too :eek: They take a while to get used to, but I certainly know about it now if I don't wear em for a day or so.

What's prawn marie rose?

I had a day off plan yesterday...not planned, but I had chip butty wi mayo for lunch, then curry n rice for tea, followed by chocolate biscuits and a yorkie :( Back to plan today tho, and altho I was hoping that the boys were gunna leave half a bacon sarni this morning, I munched on my all bran, lol. Salad for lunch, and mushy pea curry for tea. That's the plan anyways :p xx
 
Well its a gain for me today :( I was expecting it really. Its first week iv actually eaten properly for a couple of weeks, and I pigged out Tuesday....but ill take the consequences and get back on and hopefully have a good loss next time.

Good luck ladies.... xx
 
Oh well TT this week is a fresh start! :)

Well done for getting to the 9st bracket! :D

I have gained 2lb over my hols, so glad it wasnt the half stone I was expecting!!! :eek:
 
I didnt know this but....

'Marie Rose' is a misspelling which first started to appear in the 1990's with the fad for 'French-ifying' food names. The origin is British. A Royal Navy (UK) chef providing catering to the dive on the wreck of the Mary Rose in 1981 in Portsmouth Harbour (Hampshire, UK) was left without a sauce to accompany prawns - he mixed some ingredients he had to hand (originally tomato ketchup, mayonnaise, Worcester sauce and salt) and the sauce was named after the wreck being dived - Mary Rose.

So now you know :p
Oh do you like smoked salmon at all? There is a recipe in the new mag for SS pate.....:)

Marie Rose sauce has been around for decades - albeit it was just plain old prawn cocktail but I remember my mum making it when I was little. That was what she used to make for her and my dads anniversary meals and Xmas Day lol. I used to love helping to make it. I remember she had special prawn cocktail glasses :). I expect the Marie Rose name came from the Mary Rose but the chef can't take credit for creating the sauce :) (clearly it was my mum who did that :giggle: . )
