WOW .... I LOST A WOPPING 7 AND 1/2 LBS THIS WEEK!!!
Got my 2 1/2 stone award
and Slimmer of the week award.

I have been good, and made the right choices....added to the fact that it has been (and still is) a very stressful and upsetting week!!!

My usual pattern when under this kind of pressure would be to head for the biscuit barrel....but I haven't, so a big pat on the back for me!! lol!!!

Hi .... didn't loose too good this week just another 1/2 lb ! I, in all honesty was not expecting to loose even that, I have had a really bad week food ( and alchohol )wise!

But I am going to draw a line under it and have a better week this week.

Our consultant gave a really good example:
you have a lovely bunch of 7 flowers, one wilts, you don't throw the whole bunch away... you remove the wilted one.
That's how we should view our slimming week.... if we have one bad day, throw it away we still have 6 lovely days left!

So ignore the on your shoulder and remember your goals, who you want to be and the reasons why

Finally add the beans, stir thoroughly and cook for a few mins until the beans have warmed through. Serve immediatly with a jacket potato, potato wedges or pasta.


I had the usual "whats this?" as my children forked a cannelloni/borlotti bean.

But apart from that it went down really well!
Definitely doing this one again.

Hi ... I lost another 1 lb this week...chipping away at it, I hadn't realized that during the month of March I lost 9lbs!!! and that's getting through the old chocolate month!
To keep me focused I have purchased a 6 week countdown...basically means I have paid for 6weeks of classes (5 weeks + 1 free week)....should keep me on the straight and narrow!! Anyway that's all for now catch you later.x.
