Here Is my random "whatever is in the fridge" dinner...
Cottage cheese with spring onion and chives, with mushrooms and asparagus lol
It's food though!!
Weigh in at my CWPC was awful tonight - 1/2 kilo loss - that's what? 1lb? I was feeling a bit bloaty but it annoys me since it always looks like I am not doing so good on his scales! Good job I have my own weighing to keep me on track, since all it takes is a different outfit, a drink, a wee or whatever to throw my weight out on his! Hey ho! With the diff between us ill hit target about 2 weeks after I actually have on his lol. Never mind, it's all going in the right direction.
Gonna go make that tofu again for tomorrow's lunch...

Looks good! Il be trying this cottage cheese on my ss+ on week 13 do u just have plain?
The scales thing sucks but your right ur scales are consistent and same routine every week. Lots of things change a weigh in. Actually think 2 cups of coffee hindered mine because i usually starve until my 11am WI not water no nothing! I'm gonna weigh in the morning then avoid my scales til weds so I've an idea what I'm doing weekly.
Oh yes the tofu looked nice. Must put that on my list too and you can send me the recipe.

I've had it plain, but preferred it with the spring onion and chives mixed in. Mum also suggested mixing in paprika but I don't wanna have to bin it if I don't like it.
The tofu is literally half a pack of tofu (it's less than the allowance but makes it easier) a couple of mushrooms a couple of spring onions, some pak choi, half a chilli and about half tsp (maybe more) of Chinese 5 spice, all shoved in a wok until a bit wilted. I usually grab a scale and keep adding veg until I hit 80g. I just made some for tomorrow's lunch and added asparagus, if I had some I would include broccoli.
Isn't it ridiculous right!!? I Deffo think you should start weighing yourself and keep a record of that, far less disappointing!
So excited about my new look delivery!!

Funny since I'm the opposite, my cwpcs sales don't count for me since I stick to my own as they are the only constant throughout since I switched cwpcs early on.
Hopefully a leather biker jacket! Though I need to be careful if its nice that it will still be ok size wise in a few weeks! Then just some t-shirts and dresses, hoping to send back the bigger sizes

Hey hey,
how are we all today?
I'm ok, had my shake for breakkie and brought lunch with me today - that tofu stir-fry again, but it wasn't very nice re-heated :-( I however was stuffed! and very glad that a colleague wanted to go for a walk after, feeling a bit better for that!
still struggling with water a bit today, though going to go and re-fill my bottle now, the walk helped that as well, I guess i'm struggling to drink since i t's so bloody cold in here!!

Some days water just isnt that appealing huh? Also some days I just feel like I am waiting for the minutes to pass until my next product... today is one of those days!! How'd you manage with the water in the end?
This is going to sound so silly but I cant for the life of me find tofu in the supermarket lol. Are you pretty content on SS+ now?
Also ive been meaning to ask have you ever looked threw the meals in minutes book? Just wondering if its any good?

Managed a litre on the way home (car heaters helped I think!) bringing me to just over 3 now, pretty good considering I had barely managed half a litre by lunch!
Aw bless ya, it's in the chilled aisle with the other veggie stuff like quorn.
Hmmm.. Well, I'm doing it but I think I will have to see another decent loss next week to be completely convinced! I was fine, until my cwpcs cakes showed a small loss! It's all in my head I'm sure!
No I haven't looked in it, but I love making my own recipes or adapting ones to make them healthy so i probably won't bother unless of course I start running out of ideas!
How's it going for you? Must be so exciting being so close to target!!

Eeek yes it is very exciting but still very hard to believe haha. However im only just starting to become adventurous with food like before I was litrally just eating eggs, broccoli, tuna and lettuce but now im having most things off the list so a little worried about water retention this week as I know that can happen when introducing new foods again but hey we'll see. Some people have some great recipe ideas on here so been nice trying those but man dont you get a lot of chicken and prawns
