20 somethings

[lyricallylittle]

Preheat the oven to 180 ish. I peeled the potatoes, sliced them a couple of mm thick and layered them in a dish.

I made up some stock, added a few spoonfuls of ff fromage frais so the mixture was creamy but still runny. I added some crushed garlic and pepper to the mix and then poured it over the potatoes so it went to the top of the dish.

I put it in the oven for 45mins. Because I'd sort of overfilled the dish with potato I covered it for the first 20mins to make sure the top potatoes softened. I left it uncovered for the last 25mins to get the top crispy. Voila!

They'd be even better if you mixed your Hex A of cheese in, maybe a bit on the top! Perhaps even Philly Light in the mix...

I'm gonna try not to weigh in this week until tues weigh in!! Xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

I'm the same, going to try to have a blind weigh in, it's blimming hard though. Just updated my food diary, kicking superfree ass.

 

[sammyb1985]

I'm super hungry today too just had my syns worth of chocolate and now i want more! fighting temptation!!! xx

 

[Franalamadingdong]

if you haven't had your hea have some cheese, if you have go brush your teeth. admittedly it still doesn't stop me, but it does other people. I just tell myself "NO! You've had what you're allowed now go do something! Naughty Fran!"

 

[ScarlettStar86]

Emily that sounds so good, might have to give that a go soon!


Laura hope you get what you need to do, done. I used to do nursery work and the amount of paperwork then was crazy, found like you I couldn't switch off. Have you got any holidays to look forward to, make sure when you next have time off that you do just that! Xx

Fran so I see! Just been having a look at your diary you are well in the zone! I'm currently on plan but I know my super free is lacking. Having said that moments before I had that shortbread earlier I devoured 3 satsumas in as many minutes to try and curb the sweet craving and they didn't touch it! Must remember to get loads in next week!

Can't wait to hear how everyone does after being so good all week! Would totally do the 100% jan but I know what with going away I know I couldn't commit to it. Maybe 100% until the 19th instead?

Slept so badly last few nights I'm off for a shower and to bed. Will prob take ipad with me so can't guarantee I won't be back but I'll try! Night x

 

[Franalamadingdong]

Aww, night night scarlet. I think pre-holibobs 100% is a fab idea. I love satsumas too. I got two bags delivered today despite having most of a box left. m&d are half on plan so they are munching all the fruit too. damn them.

 

[sammyb1985]

Thanks Fran! Going to go brush my teeth and see if that helps. Doesn't help that i've just gone and bought loads of fairly low syn chocolate treats for me to have on an evening. Usually i'm fine with having just my syns worth, but i've eaten so much crap over christmas it's taking my body a little longer to get used to being restricted again and I'm using all my will power on not going into the kitchen where the goody tin is! xx

 

[jo-85]

you can do it if you put your mind to it hun, anyway even if you dont complete the whole 5k even giving it a go is more than most would do!

Thanks Hun gunna give it a damn good go and I figure I do have til September x

Good for you Jo, if you have a smartphone maybe download the c25k app, I've heard nothing but good things, and am about to get myself out to start week 2 day 1 as we speak! Will report back (if I am alive later on haha!!) xxx

Sounds like you've been doing fab with this Hun. I have d/l the app and plan to get started with it next week x

Ooh Laura you are going to be knackered this month. Yay for back on track scarlet.

Got weigh in tomorrow morning, not looking forward to another gain. First day 100% has gone ok. I'm on about 8 for the day so far (need to check my food diary. I have only had two dashes of my milk so I might syn it and use cheese as my hea. Not had my heb yet either. And after finding something nice to do for tea for Mrs i-want-something-special-in-new-years and defrosting the salmon she decided she wants cheese, and because of the marinade I cant make it for one, and it'd mean i was making two meals all week. I might do some LM sausages, sw chips and salad for tea. Boring but it is easy for just one.

Looking forward to my first 100% week weigh in next week!

Jo you can do it it doesn't have to be running the whole way if you cant manage it and your dad will be so proud. A man on my road was treated for prostate cancer this past year. And he is doing grand now. He is still a knobhead but he is much better (in health)

Thanks fran am gunna give it my damnedest and hope make dad proud, he getting emotional at a lot of things at the moment so gunna hold off telling him. Good to hear bout your neighbour since we found out have heard about some good recoveries but still scary! X

Well ladies I did it, and am now back from week 2 day 1 (after a very long break since week 1 haha) of c25k and... I. Am. Knackered!!! Genuinely felt sick half way round haha, but I have to say I'm really pleased I went, and feel great for having done it!! Looking forward to getting on with the shred tomorrow, and cooking something yum for tea for me and the parents!!

Thinking I should have maybe a bowl of veg soup to get my super free up for the day, as only had a little bit with lunch and none with breaky!! Xxx

Yay go you x

I like doing 7 day plans from the magazines sometimes, they do help. Planning is the key for me too.

Laura loving the plate of dinner, We had egg, chips and beans, and i had a satsuma (whilst cooking) beetroot and tomatoes and 1 syn of brown sauce, measured with measuring spoon!

Scarlet I bet it is so nice they were so excited to see you. And I bet you are looking forward to monday already

I lost 1lb. I was so shocked. haha. i was expecting a 2-3lb gain! I did go "ooh! I wasn't expecting that!" Now lets get the rest of this xmas gain off and back shrinking! No more biggest loser for me now. A lady who was at our group left, then she was at seaton and she's moved back to our group so I can't get it now. She is the biggest woman I've ever seen. SO lovely and funny. She lost 7.5lbs this week! Never mind, I shall plod forth. Need to get rid of all these spots that have errupted everywhere!

Not too bad at all fran and that will be gone pretty smart x

Ok diet officially starts Saturday, a few days later than I had planned but then I had to wait untill I had done my shop (Friday). This time it feels different, and I have had enough back pains, knee pains to last me a lifetime! Time to get skinny (again).

[CiaraDaisy]

Good luck Middy

Ch2b I know that diary really is handy. When I fill it in I mostly use it to keep track of healthy extras and syns

 

[CH2b]

Oops today ive eaten an apple, 3 bananas and 4 clementines and would have eaten more had my oh not had some too lol love fruit!

 

[CH2b]
