that is brill Red, well done to you.
and dont use the fact you have a lot to lose as an excuse, regardless of all that you are making the steps to take the weight off and a weight loss is brilliant in any terms.
really really WELL DONE!!

Feeling a bit better by just after lunchtime and hungry! So had a big brunch. OH and the kids were having pancakes (American style) which made me crave maple syrup so I drizzled mine over a banana! It did the job.
Here is today so far, the plan is to have Silvermane's Thai quorn curry tonight but I still have to go to Tesco so it may be swapped for something quicker not sure yet.
February 12th – Green
Brunch – Black coffee, 3 quorn sausages, fried egg (in frylight) mushrooms, onions, tomato, baked beans, Reggae Reggae sauce (1syn) – sliced banana with maple syrup (2syns) and a Satsuma.
Tea – Quorn thai curry and rice (3syns)
Snacks – Options drink (2syns), Mini milk (1.5syns), Alpen light bars
Syns – 10
HexA - Baby bel light
HexB - Philadelphia light (in curry for tea), Alpen Light bars

I am having the Thai curry - it is cooking at the minute. I have counted the Philly light as a HexB for a green day (it's just under the 57g amount per person in the recipe) and added a few more veg than the original recipe (butternut squash - as I already had some I'd cut up and I love it , mange tout and baby sweetcorn. I had been saving syns planning on a flexi syn day today so I'm going to have a few more syns today than usual and go back to preparing for next Saturday after the weekend.

Slow cooked Asian beef was seriously lovely. I'll definately make it again. I did actually have lunch in the end but that was ok as breakfast was quite big.

Yes, also inspired by you I actually much prefer it to rice on its own now.

I am really tempted to try a mix of bulgar wheat and rice, as I want to cut down on my rice.
