Quins; back to the plan.

[Quins]

Thanks craftylucylou, appreciate you popping in and your encouragement and advice.


I'm pleased to say that with everyone's help on here I am really making headway. I've lost nearly 2 stones since Dec 27 2010.

This site has given me the focus, knowledge, support, advice and belief that I can reach my own set rather weight of 12'10 without missing out on anything. Its about making choices at the appropriate times and still being able to dine out, have a good drink and social.
Now I have more knowledge of how this works , that you don't have to miss out and go without treats, my wife has decided to stick to the method instead of humour me and then go off plan. In less than a week she had lost 1.5 lbs.

Hi vicky, the egg and mushroom pitta was epic! A real filler. Sausages will be great in a pitta. In the week I had liver and onion pitta, it really eD kebab like, shredded salad and gherkins, it went on for ages and will sate any appetite.
