You are doing great - dont worry one bit about the slip - just write it off. One thing I would say though - when you felt the cheese scone was a slip did you say sod it and the rest of the day followed - maybe if you allow yourself to use your points a little more you wont feel guilty having little treats - I have a new strategy - use three points every day and use my activity points for alcohol at the weekend- great motivation to get moving! you will still easily get 3 lb off by your weigh in

Annie - your right, I had the scone then thought "Sod it might as well be bad all day", which is why I say my danger zone is the first half the day, if I can get through to lunch I think more positively like "Well I have got through lunch sticking to plan why ruin the rest of the day". I know my danger zones and I know my failings for EG I eat for the sake of it, right now I have just asked myself "am I hungry" well no I am not hungry right now, so why eat, ok to be fair I only have fruit around me, but it runs a little deeper, if I am not hungry at the moment don't eat until you are - god I am making it sound so simple HAHA. But thats what I am trying to tell myself today, have your three main meals and eat some fruit ONLY if you are hungry!
I like your suggestion of having the 3 points a day, think I will give that a go, I have 2 1/2 points tonight for my cheese, but I could have a jumbo snackajack couldn't I? Feels like treat just thinking about it!
I am out tomorrow night for a Chinese little worried about it but was thinking if I have boiled rice could count that as Core (a lot of people still have white rice on core), and then just point the rest and earn some bonus points to pay for it, I have the other two meals planned for tomorrow. But will worry more about tomorrow when it arrives, lets get through day first ! Thanks for the advice

Afternoon girls
Well I have got to lunchtime without any slip ups so feeling quite positive about the rest of the day. Don't have any receipes to post today as I haven't got anything to make from scratch today or tomorrow really, but am making a quorn tikka masala Saturday night so will post the receipe over the weekend or early next week. Got lots of lovely receipes to try out next week, so will hopefully get those posted on here as well.

Maybe an option for your chinese would be vegetarian singapore noodles - the noodles and veg would be core - you would only need to add a point or two maybe for the way they are cooked??
I love chinese food enjoy!!

Hi Marie
My weigh in days are Thursdays at the moment, (then saturday mornings once I stop going to classes), weighed in at home Thursday and hadn't lost anything at all, so will see what this week brings. But I haven't been able to do any exercise cos of the inspectors being in at work, working silly hours. They are in again this week so won't be able to get to the gym until Saturday. But the shinning light is that because I am off work next week I from this Saturday I can exercise for 10 straight days, so even if I don't lose anything this week I know that will change next week with all the exercise.
