Your meal sounds so lovely and filling. Can you tell me what Tesco Baguettes they are, are they frozen?
Do you get away with just a drizzle of oil when you roast your veggies? I usually give a glug glug of extra virgin olive oil but that's when I'm not dieting.
I really need to research how many cals are in what...
B = 2 toast & marmalade 250
L = prawns, seafood sauce, salad 300
D = 2 lean bacon rashers, 1 dry fried egg, beans 400 (not too sure about this)
snack = grapes & cucumber 70
2 coffees at around 60 cals each
and plan on having some porridge tonight yummy

Hi guess *hangs head in shame*
Sort of decided to break the diet yesterday. Really fancied a day of just eating whatever I wanted, ended up getting a takeaway last night. It wasn't even very nice, but in a way I'm glad I did at, as there's no way I'll be craving that crap anymore!
Anyhow, onwards and upwards! Back on track today:
B: Porridge
L: Baked potato and beans with salad
D: WW tortelloni and tomato sauce with salad
Total for that is 814. Think I'll go for 1300 today. Not decided on snacks yet.
Lady A: I'm glad to see you back, hope your aunt gets well soon, and totally understand why you fell "off the wagon". It's good that you came back on, good luck x

Yes Jo it was scary for me because it reminded me of my nan in her last stages of emphysema. I quit smoking not long afterwards.
The cheese & tomato baguette things are in the frozen pizza section, I'll see if I can get an image link to work here:
They're quite small but you can fill the meal out with veggies.
I measured out a teaspoon of olive oil for my roast veggies but reckon I probably didn't even need that much, the veg I used seemed to sweat in its own natural juices quite nicely and didn't dry out at all. The oil just added some nice flavour and dressed the salad when it all mixed together. I completely forgot to add parmesan shavings but tbh it probably didn't need them. It was yummy!
Today will be:
b - poached eggs on toast, 290
sn - extra piece of toast, 75
l - WW soup & bread, 200
d - bangers & mash with peas & gravy, 410

That sounds so nice Lady M, I'll have to try that sometime.
Change of meals for me:
B: Porridge
S: 1 slice toast
L: WW tortelloni and sauce with Tesco Healthy Living Garlic bread
D: Roast chicken breast, little bit of gravy, baby new potatoes, green beans. Having a WW banoffee pie thing after, it's only 170 calories.
Fancied a bit of a swap around, and in the mood for a roast dinner. So total is now: 1161.

I found this weekend that Oatso Simple now comes in cinnamon flavour. Omnomnom!
So yesterday was a cinnamon Oatso Simple for breakfast, a jacket potato with beans for lunch, and dinner was a pretty random concoction I whipped up containing... *deep breath*
Passata, cauliflower, leek, chipotle puree, chipotle tabasco, red wine vinegar, spiced white vinegar, chicken, tomato and garlic puree, onions, garlic, sweet & sour peppadews... and, well, a whole bunch of other stuff I can't remember. I estimated that came in at about 400 calories per serving

Looking for Slimville!
Hi all,
trust me to feel ill when I restart! All I had yesterday was chicken soup and 2 slice of toast...so def no more than 500 calories!
Back on track today, still feel queasy but got my litre bottle of water by my side sip-sip-sipping away
B - 1 boiled egg on granary toast (160 cals)
L - The rest of that chicken soup lol & a low fat yogurt (200 cal approx.)
Not a clue about dinner yet. I have an evening class 6-9 on Mondays so I always end up eating late and it results in a ready meal from Tesco!!
CrazyBrit - you random concoction must have def got you a few of your 5 a day anyway! haha

Hell yeah!
I need to start using vegetables other than cauliflower as a pasta-substitute. Any suggestions?

Courgette and/or aubergine cut into long thin strips tagliatelli-style. An old Atkins standby. I also used to pile a big dollop of bolognese sauce on top of a large open cup grilled mushroom or two, depending on size.
Hi all! So tired today, my little boy woke up at 5.30, argh! Think the time change has confused him a little. Then was out at college all day. Meals today:

L: WW chicken soup, two slices bread, mixed fruit (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and grapes, mmmmm)
D: Will be two Tesco LC Cumberland sausages, mashed potato, beans
Had 1073 calories so far.
I hope hope hope I'll have lost something this week.
