hey...
havnt been on in a few days its mad this site moves so fast:D... i had a a challenging few days a friend of mine is home from oz so havnt been at home as i on mid-term aswell...
Thursay had wrap for lunch and lots of fruit and den i had to do a 5 hour shift in my parents chipper which wasnt planned so i was starving and had no dinner with me:eek: that was really hard but i only ate two chips as i was busy thank god and der was nothing healthy to eat in my parentd house so i got a curly wurly and chickatees and thats all i ate all day which wasnt good for me either:(.
Then today was meeting friends for lunch so had two slices of homemade brown bread with tuna, full fat mayo(they had no light mayo:mad: i did ask) lettuce and tomato and didn even have a cappucino had diet coke instead:p. Then for dinner i had a bag of chips and 1 chicken fillet roll from chinese and mayo dip.
It was hard but im proud of myself for not falling off track:D...
So tomarrow i have a christening and sunday dinner out(still have 47 weeklies left).
Being hetic week so have 2 more days to keep on track den its back to work and normal routine
...
Sorry for the rant everyone:)...
worked for years for my mam in a chipper, and would you beleive it while i was working there i eventually got my wieght under control!!!! I used to have ham salad(salad from the burger section) sandwiches with a little bit of coleslaw and about four of five chips for my break, or else a chicken breask with salad. Because it was the family business I was working a lot an used to miss a lot of functions. And then along cam recession and my mam went bust and made us all redundant. I spent the next year attending every single party I was invited to - to make up for the ones i missed out on - and the weight just spiralled out of control!!!!!
I just want to give you some hope cos I was reared in a chipper and when I got to grips with portion control etc I was actually at my healthiest when working there - so it can be done!!!!0 -

Starting Weight : 15st 13 :eek:
Boy do I have a long way to go....somewhere in the region of 4 - 4.5 st to go ....my goal weight wasn't mentioned at my first weigh in so guessing I'll be told somewhere down the road. Can't even remember being 13st so even getting there would be a thrill ! Anyway aiming for my very first Silver 7 this week .....fingers crossed !
I just want to say a Huge Thank You to you all....I've had such inspiration from your stories and willingness to encourage each other !
I start my first message with a question - very lofty - How many PP in Hodgins Low Fat Sausages. Yes I managed to track down an illusive packet in the Dunnes near where I work ! Yes they do exist....unlike the definitely extinct Low Fat Greek Yoghurt :rolleyes:
Good Luck to All...fingers crossed for sticking to points this weekend....there definitely was something in the air last weekend and definitely don't think I'd get away with it 2 weekends in a row !;)
Cheers
Great post, fair play, you got a lot of things in one!! Best of luck, you're clued in ..no probs. Have no clue what those sausages cost, have followed the chat about them alright, but don't really eat sausages and the odd time I do...denny gold medal is your only man. keep posting/smiling!0 -

Layla I'm so sorry to hear your mums news but delighted to read it hasn't spread elsewhere thats fantastic news keep the spirits up and the positive thoughts it goes a long way towards recovery.
Lainey get better soon that sounds like a woeful dose.
So I'm having a great time here but the food situation is a nightmare and I had a massive long post already posted and hit submit and the stupid hotel connection died and I lost it! aghh !
But long story short I got called 'fat' today by one of my german friends who herself is probably a good 3 or 4 stone heavier than me (I've no problem with that and i'm not saying that to be mean just to put this in context a bit) . I havent seen her since xmas and I've lost weight and I know ALOT of inches cos clothes are hanging off me and she said to me hey you look like you've put on alot of weight is everything okay? I really think your Dr should tell you to lose weight for health reasons!!!! WTF do you say to that???
I've never been called Fat before and it really hurt my feelings and well I think she did it on purpose. I'm relying on her to translate for me cos I have no german and well the food situation was a disaster today. I avoided all crap had a healthy breakfast. Fruit salad and a small bowl of Special K. We went for Coffee in McD's today at 1 after looking at the Berlin Wall art work in the Freezing cold, she ate 2 giant cookies I had nothing. Just coffee.
I was starvin marvin come 3 o'clock there's 8 of us in a group and when my OH tactfully suggested that me and him would go off grab food and meet everyone else later for a gig we were going to tonight she got stroppy and insisted we had to eat together and not until 5 o clock and at this restaurant she wanted beside her hostel which was way across town
Long story shortened it was Italian, but not 'Italian' like at home there was lots of Turkish dishes on the menu as well and our waiter only spoke Turkish or German they had no English menus' so when I asked for anything 'healthyish' ie Pasta Arriabata or something I was told it was not available so I ordered a Salad with no Dressing and Gnnoci which was to come with tomatoes and Spinich but I requested no sauce just plain and I was going to add 1 tbsp of Olive Oil myself at the table and a tiny amount of cheese.
She ordered it and well............Salad came out drenched in a marie rose type sauce, and well the Gnnoci that came in LOADS of butter, olive oil and alot of parmasan cheese and no spinich to be found anywhere. I could have cried!!!! We were going to a gig so I had to eat what I was given but I know it's Obliterated my dailies and some of my weeklies and I'm totally raging. I didn't even enjoy it for the points spent on it. even if it was all zero it was crappy.
Got to the gig and I didn't drink cos I couldn't afford the points. I don't know whether i'm being paranoid but I dunno if she sabotaged me on purpose or if the restaurant just totally fu**ed up and i'm being too precious about it??
Either way I'm raging and well for her to call me Fat when i'm down nearly 9lbs since the last time she saw me in December is just sticking with me since this morning and I can't shake it I know I'm fat I'm 12 12 and 5.4 so I'm not skinny but honestly i've never been called fat in my life and I've never been skinny and probably been the weight I am now for the last 3 years or more, I was a 16 or a 14 depending on shops before but now a size 14 fits perfectly so what is her problem??
Sorry for the rant guys I just had to say something somewhere. My OH is so annoyed on my behalf, I said nothing to him but he knows how hard I'm working and I just saw his face when my food arrived and he looked like he was going to lose it on my behalf but I kicked him under the table. I don't want to be the annoying GF who goes on about points and diets etc etc but at the same time he's as good for just knowing automatically whats good and whats bad when it comes to my food.
My tummy is now in bits due to the level of dairy (I'm lactose intolerent anyway) and I'm actually still hungery but can't eat anything.
I'm putting my foot down tomorrow I'm finding somewhere healthy (even sushi would be perfect) and I'm going to bite my tongue for the rest of the weekend! Sorry for the self involved very long post guys! but thank you for reading if you did
Onwards and downwards tomorrow.
PS Walked fecking miles today so lets hope those activity points helped with the woeful dinner and I danced my ass off for 3 hours at a gig tonight so thats gotta help!
Night night all have a good weekend x0 -

Ok,girl! Here is the thing. You are on your weekend away, you enjoy it whatever way YOU want too. Do not accept any rubbish like this from anyone for any reason at any time. Sounds like a little jealousy is at play here to me. Eat where and when you want to tomorrow, you can of course (and do have) to be sociable but there are easy ways of avoiding eating, postponing eating etc, just say you are not feeling 100% or better still get OH to say it. then find somewhere more appropriate to eat later. You could - like me = openly say that this place doesn't suit you to eat but you'll have a drink. you are in control of you. You be the one who people fit around for a change. Let me tell you, try it once and you will NEVER look back..0 -
Thanks a mil Kashmir I know everything you say is true, and really am not putting up with that ****e tomorrow, time for the little narky short arse in me to come out and dig my heels in, I'll also be bringing a bigger handbag and be throwing in some snacks I can munch on while walking around to make the 'no i'll just have a drink' thing me more realistic for me!
I wouldn't mind obliterating all my points on something tasty given I am on hols, but that crap was not it, yuck I'm going to find a nice Japanese place tomorrow and gorge myself on sushi and or noodles .......but I'll stick within my points!! I'm using all my weeklies this weekend one way or the other so may as well be on something I want and like and will enjoy!
Oh and Kildarish was it you who was looking for Cranberry juice?? If so I'm not sure if you're aware but per the shop guide the Ocean free LIGHT Cranberry juice is zero pp but only for a small glass (I think maybe 125ml) I thought that was great cos I love the odd glass for breakfast to go with porriage and it's really great for kidney infections. I'll check my shop guide again for you on Monday just to get you the details, that may be too small of a glass for your needs though but I will confirm either way! 0 -

Kay, don't mind her! She definitely sounds like a green eyed monster. You are not fat AT ALL!!!! And keep telling yourself, at least you are doing something about it to get you even more healthy. I actually can't believe she said that to you, a friend like. I am 15 stone 11.5lbs and even when I was at my heaviest (18 stone 3lbs) not one of my friends (even the lads) called me fat. She must have some insecurity issues herself and is playing on yours. Forget about it and try and enjoy your holiday. That is what holidays are for, enjoying yourself. Stand your ground and say that you are only there for a short time and you want to do A. B and C and you want to eat at A and B. 0 -

Oi! scales were up!
but feck it whats done is done....i think my sleep (or lack there of) really screwed me up...and now i'm dying with allergies and sinus! Actually didnt sleep at all last night. was coughing sneezing all night..as soon as one thing sets off my sinusitis....everything sets them off...cat hair, dog hair, dust, .....blah!
Pink eyes, headache, puffy face, ears hurting which is really annoying...big family dinner tonight with all the spanish and irish cousins...i wanted to look less puffy and for the weight i've lost...to actually be clear to see..
Going to take scorching hot shower in the minute and let the steam do its work! I REALLY hope this doesn't end up turning into sinus infection....they take me like a month to shake
I have exams coming up soon and alot of assignments...i think stress is wearing me down.

Kay_80
you are doing so well! She must be jealous....cos now your the "cute irish friend.....who has a man" With attitude like hers.....i can only assume she's single! Get your OH to say that he'd like a romantic dinner just him and you...as ye are on a mini get away, that way ye can go off and find somewhere healthy AND have a romantic dinner for two, there is nothing worse than wasting points on something you dont even like...
can i just say awwwww your OH sounds lovely...the fact he was like annoyed on your behalf...that he's totally supportive....that wonderful!0 -

First of all, people have been going to countries for years where they don't speak the language and have survived, so kick yer wan to the curb!
Secondly, stop beating yourself up over that food. As you said yourself you are walking loads and after all you are on holidays so don't be upset.
Lastly whoop whoop for your OH, that must be so lovely to have someone that knows you and that understands whats important to you. I am so jealous.
I am a size 14 and feel the healthiest and most confident than I ever have, and I have been a size 10 before too. You be proud of your achievements and surround yourself with nice supportive people. She is a jealous FEEDER!
Chin up, have a great time x0 -

Kay never mind that nasty cow - she is just jealous of how well you have done and is trying to sabotage your diet. Great that your OH is so supportive - just hang on in there!!!0 -
Such a nice day. Just back from a 3.5k walk and really enjoyed it. Strapped my ankles in bandages so what happened last time with the new runners wouldn't happen again... worked a treat. Have a nice day everyone. Off to do the shopping with the OH and then back to cook, cook, cook!! 0

Not having the best weekend so far. Got the mother of all migraines yesterday. Haven't had one so bad in a long time. Had to stop on the way home from work into my mam's and get my dad to drive me home the rest of the way Then went to bed but couldn't sleep cos of the pain :( Seems to have gone for now though
Have friends coming over tonight for a takeaway, hoping I can convince them to get a chinese so I can get a relatively low pointed chow mein! If we go to the normal takeaway, I've literally no idea what to get because even a bag of chips is 12pp :eek:
Someone asked about soup: Here is my Spicy Lentil Soup:
Ingredients:
1 onion,
2 sticks of celery
1 veg stock cube made up to 850ml
50g red lentils
tin of tomatoes
2 tbsps tomato puree
1.5 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Method:
Cook onion & celery in low fat spray till soft. Add chilli, garlic, stock, tomatoes, tomato puree and lentils. Bring to boil, simmer for 20 mins or so till it thickens. Blitz in blender, season with S&P.
Serves 4, 2pp per bowl! Delish :pac::pac:
Oh and kay I cannot believe that girl called you FAT! How rude was she? Totally jealous of you obviously! She is defo not a friend! You don't need negative ppl like that in your life!0 -
Well done everyone so far this weekend. It seems to be an improvement on last week - myself included
.
Kay, dont mind that little fecker, defo just jealous. If you are 5 foot 4 and loosing that amount of weight, your friend would of course have noticed even if she didn't want to admit it to you. Green eyed monsters are not nice friends to have. I don't speak a word of German and spent a week in Berlin last year. I had the time of my life and the language barrier didn't stop me one little bit. In fact I found the Germans enjoyed talking english with us. Anyway - hopefully the rest of the weekend improves.
I was very lazy this morning and didn't get up until about 1pm. I had 2 slices of Mc Cambridges brown bread and a packet of skips today. Having read through the thread this morning (eh afternoon) I felt I really should go for a walk. I put on a pot of soup and headed out. I even managed to jog a bit of it. Very proud. Just in the door and have had a bowl of soup and I just have to share the recipe as its so nice.
Carrot and Coriander Soup
