Good news on the loss Bananaboo, well done . I had to work today too :sigh: x

It's rubbish isn't it! Keeps me well away from food though for a long time so that bit helps x

Well today is actually going better than I expected. Decided to go home for lunch and keep busy, I tidied up a little then remembered I had a chilli pack at home that I wanted to try so had that for lunch and it is so nice! Having something hot with loads of flavour really helps me. So I have a clean home to go back to and am having a good day ha!

I've not tried any of the food packs yet but have got a chilli, spag bol and shepherd's pie which arrived today. I'm going to try one of them tomorrow. It would be good to find a 'meal' that I like to provide extra variety from shakes, bars and bouillon. Any tips on how you prepare it?

Hi Cate I love the spag Bol, not tried the other yet. I do it on a hob on a nice low heat stirring with a whisk (it will stick if you leave it). I add a bit of cayenne, some fresh chopped rosemary, black pepper and a bit of salt and cook for a while till the pasta is nice and soft (prob about 10 mins), then I throw in some chopped chives. It's my fav meal so far

That sounds nice yoyo, doing it in the microwave kinda ruins it so I might try it on the hob. Really lovin the chilli tho I think I might need more ready meals I wasn't expecting to like them much but they do the job for sure

Dropped another 1 1/2 lbs so think I've almost managed to turn this week around. 3 more days until weigh in so I only have to lose more than 1 1/2 lbs and that means I'll have had another loss even tho I've cheated. Phew fingers crossed ?

Thanks for that. Will definitely give that a go. It will make such a change to have something that passes for real food once a day, assuming I like one of the food packs.

Next order, I'm going to change to 2 meals and one bar. I enjoy meals, so why not have em more than once?!

I cook all the packs by mixing them in a bowl with a little bit more water than they recommend - I just always leave them all to soak for at least 15 mins and longer for the chilli.

My routine is a meal at around 6pm and then a hot choc shake or hot vanilla coffee and a bar at about 8:15.
