Diary of a bouncing back ww'er

[Hazykay]

No that sounds simple enough and perfectly explained. Thank you very much xx

You're welcome, there's one last thing, if you use the oven, take the foil off for the last 10 mins just to let the top set/crisp up a little xx

I should not be let out the house. Went shopping & spent a ruddy fortune!! My menu's are up in the air as I bought the M&S £10 meal deal which we'll have on Sunday, and the £5 meal deal which I'll keep til Monday. I'm still doing the salmon for tonight & beef & ale for tomorrow though.
I also bought a dress for a wedding we're going to in a couple of weeks. I've posted a photo of it, it's lovely on & it hangs down at the back. All the dresses I tried on were too short or showed my spare tyre but this was perfect. I may even pluck up the courage to put it on & post a pic of me wearing it eek!!!

Eats so far -

Breakfast 6pp
Special K fruit & nut (really nice) 5pp
Milk 1pp

Lunch 3pp
Stuffed portobello mushrooms (smoked salmon 2pp, cream 1pp) baked til soft. (I don't like smoked salmon the way it is as I feel it is still raw, but cooked like this was delicious)

Dinner will be posted later plus my snacks. I went a bit nuts in M&S foodhall so will be munching my way through treats over the next few days & what makes ww'ers all the more amazing is nothing is forbidden :-D :-D

Ok, Here is a photo of me in a dress which, may I add, I NEVER wear dresses!! I thought I would post a photo of me which was taken the week before I joined weight watchers too just to see the difference. Here goes -

That was me at the beginning of April

This is me today. Nearly 3 stone down and I've still got just over 2 to go but I'm over half way there
This is like my secret place that no-one knows about. I would never post photos of me to complete strangers never mind anyone else seeing them, especially fat photos!!! There's something about this forum that even though you haven't met any of the people, you have a connection with them as we all have the same goal.
My family don't have a weight problem & never have done so I feel that they don't understand. They say the solution is easy, eat less but that's not the answer or the solution.
On here, everyone understands & I get support from here and at class. For that, I say thank you to you all xxxx

Oh my god that's amazing. I love love that dress. It looks so good on you. You have done so well. You should be so proud of yourself.

And you don't need to thank us we are all in the same boat and its finding friends like this that makes you realise you aren't alone and you can do this.

Those mushrooms look amazing. When you say cream how much did you use. I might have a go at making these for lunch at the weekend as they look divine. Xxx

Aww thank you!! As I said, I never wear dresses as I was always too self conscious. I feel good in that one. When I tried it on, I came out the fitting room to show my Mum & a lady coming out of a changing room told me I looked beautiful & that the colour suited me. I wanted to give her a hug lol.

I had ww'er cream left over from the other day & used what was left (35g). I chopped some smoked salmon, the stalks of the mushrooms & mixed it together with black pepper & the cream. Filled the mushroom with the mixture & baked in the oven for 10-15 mins. They really were lovely. Whenever I eat smoked salmon it makes me feel really full up, and the best thing was it was only 3 pp's. Happy days :-D xx

You do look amazing. You should wear dresses and that colour more often x

And I bet if I made a few I could eat them cold too. Happy days indeed. Xx

I don't see why not. If you have access to a microwave you could reheat them. I don't know how they would turn out though xx

Those mushrooms look absolutely amazing! This may sound a bit stupid, but when you say you use WW cream, what kind of cream do you mean? I definitely like the idea of making them.

And this photos are amazing, you can really see how well you've done. xx

It was some cream I had left over from the lemon cream sauce I did the other night. I weighed out what was left in the tub which was 1pp worth & added it to the filling. They look a bit dried up in the photo but they were anything but. They were moist & VERY filling. I can't believe why I never thought of this months ago!

Thank you so much for your compliments, I am a bit self conscious when it comes to these things but I thought feck it, no-one knows me lol xx

Hope you've had a lovely day!

I'm taking my son to a birthday party today at xcape. The party starts at 12 and being the saddo I am, I have taken lunch with me. Ross is getting his lunch there but I don't want to be in a position where I am surrounded by chips & cake. The parents of the birthday boy usually buy plates of chips for the parents who stay at the party.
As it's very close to a shopping centre I'm going to make an excuse of going to pick up a few things & go and eat my lunch.
I'm going to Blackpool next week & I know it will be difficult as it is but I'm trying to prevent a gain. Damage limitation I guess

 

[Jaly]

Aw, you should be so proud, can't imagine the willpower it must take to turn down the chips/cake -> especially as they'll be free! Enjoy your time at Blackpool, remember a treat now and again is good for us Those oatberry clusters sound delicious!
