Hello all...have been without my broadband for a few days so will have to catch up a few pages of thread! Hope all good with you all. Had my weigh in today...6 lbs off so v pleased, particularly as I was nibbling more in the evenings lately...nothing that would knock me out of ketosis but still, was playing on my mind! Anyhoo next week an opportunity to practice good habits, got 3 bars to try this week so that'll make nice change!

Yes Skellybob we can have fruit tea and flavoured coffee as long is not the milky ones

Well done on your loss AllNeedles, another 3.5lbs gone! You deserve that bar and tea

Which bar do you melt a bit SkellyBob? That sounds like an interesting idea!

My fav food recipe is prob chicken curry, instead of your milk allowance have natural yogurt. Cook your chicken with curry powder, add some veg from allowed list and then add yogurt - yum! I also like fajitas, cook your chicken with spices and allowed veg and wrap in lettuce. A little yogurt goes well with it too if it's a bit dry. On SS+ you could make a smaller version of the step 2 quiche in the book too, just using a smaller amount of cottage cheese, egg and veg. Other than that I stick to omelettes or chicken stir frys

Congrats Becksy1 on your loss too! 6lbs is fab! I love the bars, they are pretty much all I eat. Well them and hot mint choc! I am really keen to try the Spag Bol that everyone is talking about but I am in Ireland too. Will ask my consultant tonight how long she thinks it will be before we get it!
