Gosh, we are a bunch of nightowls!! Debs, hope you have a great time with your grandkids - I'm really looking forward to waving my lo off for a week with her granny!!
Tracy, hope your in-laws are as agreeable as mine!
Miss hp, you poor, poor thing. Try to stop worrying so much about your weight - it sounds like you are experiencing an extreme level of upset - weight loss is hard enough when things are on an even keel. We are here for you if you need us.
Megs, Callie sounds like a very special dog.

I was just thinking about this today, I was quite good yesterday and got through the day without feeling overly deprived. Today though, my husband wanted to go get new fish which meant we would need to eat out somewhere. I was stressing to the heavens about where we would go and what I could eat, and in the end I came to the realisation that sometimes you just have to go with the flow and make the best choice available to you and live a little!!

I felt the same yesterday, had a rubbish start to the day with a daft argument so we later went out for a bite to eat and I was looking through the menu and thought sod it, I don't eat out often and the pic of the ribs & chicken combo had my name all over it so I caved in a savoured every last bit!!!!

But also I have noticed in the last few weeks I am losing motivation, I'm not sure if it's the slow losses or just my work schedule but I recall in the beginning I was trying out new recipes, baking low fat desserts, and now i seem to be eating the same meals, I hardly ever look in my book for syn values, so I really have to kick myself back into action.....trouble is I really don't know where to start.
The good news is Im not ready to give up, I've still got around 1st I want to lose and I am determined that I want to carry on going but where do I start and how do I mix it up a bit?
I've heard the lamb shanks in tesco are free on red/ee? I love lamb so I am thinking of trying this for an evening meal. I'm very much a meat & rice or pasts person but the EE days gave kind if run it's course on my weight loss now. So can anyone give me suggestions for red days (I don't like fish btw only cod)

Ooh Dubchick where are you off to?
Hols!!! Love em B-D xx
Evening ladies, How are you all?
Thank you all so much for your lovely posts, and for caring. I can honestly say the last few days have been awful, lots of upset, tears and horribleness (if thats a word). I hit rock bottom late this afternoon and since then things seem to be on the up (only slightly and i'm trying not to get my hopes up, but praying things carry on getting better). Kepp your fingers ccrossed for me.
Megs thats so lovely what you and your dog do. And you horses. Animals are great aren't they. I've ridden for 25 years, i unfortunately had to have my mare put down last october, it broke my heart after 10 years of owning her (and she was only 13, but i couldnt see her in pain any longer).
I haven't done any exercise this weekend, haven't stuck to SW either, but then again i have barely eaten since thursday (exceot for cheese and cracker binge last night) so hopefully not too much damage done.
Megs we seem to be in sync with each other as its my * week too (not sure why its called star week.....there's nothing sparkly and shiney about it is there).
Hxx

Kanks, I've been feeling demotivated as well, but as I'm only a quarter of the way there, it's a bit soon for that. So today I planned my week's food down to the last hex. I ordered some cookbooks from the website.
And I tried on some tight clothes. I don't think I'll be losing any weight this week, but hopefully next week!
Dubchick, where are you off to? Sounds like somewhere hot! My husband refuses to go on any more package holidays, and we only have a week off this year so we're thinking of getting the ferry across to Wales and staying in one of those Haven parks. Has anyone ever been?

Thats so sad about your horse. I have just the 1 horse, then theres Ryans & then during a bad storm we rescued 1, it had got caught in barbed wire & cut its leg almost to the bone. The owner was an elderly lady, who was so grateful. The horse was her daughters, who was livin in france with her bf, she rang us up & said she was settling down abroad & the horse was ours, so our family grew
Horribleness is most definately a word where star wk is concerned!! I have bren nibble central today! But all within plan touch wood.

Me too! I completed my food diary for the week & I popped to tesco to get the lamb shanks in mint gravy (free on red or EE) which I'm having Wednesday. Tonight I had the kfc chicken with a jacket potato.
I am going to weigh in Thursday this week as I have a meal out Thursday night which has been planned for ages.

Hi there everyone. Just back from a trip to see a friend in Portsmouth, had a great day. Sounds like it's been a pretty laid back weekend. Miss hp if you need to take some time out of sw then stay here for the support and just get back on plan when your head is sorted , it's no good battling when your feeling down .
Kanks you know I love red days and I'm sure you'll have a loss with them.
As for the motivation for u and smurfy I am the same at the moment but it'll come, I've faith . Xxxx
Boot camp- soup If poss this week as it's set to stay wet and windy let's make soup. There's loads of recipes on minimins for soups. What's your favourite?
I love butternut.
Roasted veg please. If you have time slip some roasted veg into your meals to make sure you're getting your third superfree.
Walking - if weather stays off try walking for those of you who don't, give it a try for 20 mins around the block. If you already walk add 1 mile further on x

Soup wise......my favorite at the moment is bacon and lentil
·6 rashers bacon (fat trimmed off)
·1 onion, peeled and chopped
·2 carrots, peeled and diced
·200g (7oz) red lentils
·400g can chopped tomatoes
·1 vegetable stock cube
·Salt and freshly ground black pepper
‘fry’ the bacon, onion and carrots in frylight and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the bacon has started to turn golden and the vegetables have softened. Add the lentils and stir well, add the chopped tomatoes and about 2½ pints boiling water, and stir in stock cube, I add mixed herbs, sweet paprika and I pinch of chili flakes. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender. You can either leave it chunky or blitz it, it’s yummy and free on EE or you could have on green day and weigh your bacon so you only had an HEX portion.

Morning! I'm going to give soup a miss this week, been having the veg & lentil soup or the leek & potato soup every week, so as part of my mixing things up week, I've left it off my menu in the hope that by swapping my food choices it'll kick start my losses again.
I weighed this morning to check that ive not gained after my lunch out and im pleased to say i havent!!! So with my weighing in Thursday this week I've got 2 days to shift something!
I've had 1 weetabix & a banana this morning. Good start so far x
