Weigh in on Tuesday :O
Scary stuff ! This week has been one of my better ones, diet was good and got to gym 3 times so far. Heading out for a nice walk now
haven't went into my weekly points either this week !
Really hoping for a loss .... Well I need a loss if I'm to lose 8.5lbs by Xmas ! Fingers crossed
Come on everyone !! We can do it ! Just think of how good we will feel at Xmas. Usually at this time of the year my diet would totally lapse as it's cold and I can cover everything up ! Not gonna let that happen this year !!!!! 0 -
So the girls were getting a Chinese on the way home from an event yesterday and i managed to resist and make a beef stirfry while they ate their currys. Also munching on a big bowl of fruit and yogurt while the family have a fry this morning. But to be honest dont even know why im bothering!
Good woman that's the way to do it !! Just watch your portion sizes, thats what was the killer for me. I thought just cos it was good food I could eat the whole fruit bowl and the whole big carton of low fat yoghurt. Which I later paid for on the scales the following week 
Leave your gain behind you and just take it one day at a time. You are getting closer to your goal every good day you have 0 -

It will all pay off in the end. I really admire your discipline. You're doing so well. Fair play!
Thanks ck83, annoying thing is that I've been this disciplined the past 6 weeks (rarely diving into my weeklies) to get to goal, and I get the results I did at WI last week pretty much makign me feel like all my hard work was for nothing as it all went back on, and more! Hence why I'm starting to wonder if its worth it!Ceoil_Cailin wrote: »Good woman that's the way to do it !! Just watch your portion sizes, thats what was the killer for me.

God no, I only ever eat 1pp worth of yoghurt, I buy small tubs of the irish diet yoghurt, weigh out one points worth and put the other points worth in a tiny tub in the fridge for the following day! I do eat a good bit of fruit though, but usually have 1 or 2 dailies left to allow for that...tiny_penguin wrote: »I finished - every recipe in the book. Made a few alterations but if anyone needs to know the propoints for the recipes then let me know!!
Would love to get my hands on some of these recipes, is it a worthwile investment?! I tried out your chicken goujon recipe today, really yummy! And a nice amount of chicken. So thanks for that!Fair play to you! That's the hardest thing is watching everyone else eat junk around you especially after a night out. Hopefully it'll show on the scales this week.
Yeah, my family are fairly lethal for bringing nice stuff like that into the house. If its not a chinese there are always mini muffins and biscuits being bought, makes my job SO much harder! I don't want them until I see them, and then I only want them because I cant have them! :mad: I was dying for some curry with them yesterday, smelt so much more appetitising than my stirfry... Hopefully I can treat myself after WI tomorrow...0 -

So as expected I STS this week. Stayed within my points, did use some of my weeklies but I'm still so far away from goal I don't want to give up my weeklies just yet or I'll be stuck on 26 points a day with no weeklies for months and I can't maintain that. Why oh why does my body not want to go below 11 stone???
Anyway, I'm not going to let it deter me. I've been good and finding it easy enough to stick to the 26 points a day so wil perservere. I made the HD Roast Pork for dinner yesterday which was very tasty and also made the minced beef and potato pie for tonights dinner so just need to heat mine up when I get in from college. I am genuinely loving this recipe book. The food is low points but very very tasty which is unusal for most diet books.0 -

Why would you be without your weeklies? You have your weeklies no matter what daily points you're on I thought
If I'm right then that could explain you STS. You should definitely try eating some of your weeklies especially if you do any kind of exercise. 0 -

Sorry I meant that I tried going without weeklies before to get through a weight plateau which worked but when i tried eating them again my weight went up so I don't want to stop using weeklies now when im so far away from goal. maybe when I've only got a couple of pounds to go it would be ok. I have been eating most weeklies since I started again but have hit a wall and not sure what to change. Already eating healthy and exercising and my body always stops when i get to 11 stone for some unknown reason. But this time im just gonna stick at it and hopefully i can get past this.0 -

You seem focused to get that half pound off. Hard to find motivation in the cold weather, all I want to do is curl up with tea and biccies!! Love how busy this thread has got again, it's sooo helpful!
Thanks tiny! I actually remember you talking about the Florentines before so I am going to try them. I will double the recipe and do half white and half milk chocolate. Did you use cooking chocolate or ordinary and if so what brand?
I also saw your chocolate cake recipe so I think I will do that too. I see it makes 8 portions. Are these fairly big? Could it be cut into smaller portions? I could double that recipe too but I dont want to have too much and 6 eggs seems like a lot! For the normal sized recipe, what size tin do you recommend? I think I'm more of a cook than a baker, hence all the questions
My first good day went well. Tag was cancelled but I went swimming instead which is a big step for me as usually I'd use a cancellation as an excuse to go home to my couch! I stuck to my points and went home to find the OH making a yummy beef curry with loads of veg so I was happy with that.
Day 2 and I'm very tired as myself and himself stayed up late discussing (read arguing about
) our sun holiday in February. Cue panic for me when I think of little shorts and tops and, gulp, bikinis. 14 weeks!!
Anyway, I will not use being tired as a reason to pig out, even though reading Florentine and Chocolate Cake recipes has given me a very strong craving for chocolate!0 -

I used milkybar - was the cheapest white chocolate that tasted good. Dont think cooking chocolate would taste as good, id go with milkybar and dairy milk for the chocolate!
I made the cake in a larger tin than recommended and it was heartshaped - so the cake was very thin and difficult to portion. The recipe recommends a 7in round tin. Though if you are doubling it i would maybe go with a bigger tin?Cliodhna26 wrote: »Hi Tiny Penguin,
Could I get a link to your blog please?
Thanks
Sure thing its 59lbstogo.blogspot.ieHave been very good all week except for a few treats at the weekend but still have a lot of my weeklies left. It's my TOM though so really hoping that doesn't ruin all my hard work!! I'm a bit apprehensive about WI tonight, as it didn't go too well the last time it was my TOM, it has scared me for a while! Fingers crossed!
Im exactly the same as you sunrise! Been so good after my gain last week but so scared TOTM is going to affect it. Dont want to push things further away from my next mini goals! Feel rubbish and just want to go home to bed after work but am making my WI no matter what!0 -

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Stickybean that is amazing!!!!!!!!! Fair play to you! That is an amazing achievement!!
I have been fairly bad to stick to my points this wk, going to try religiously now for the next wk! Weigh In tomor, got my silver 7 last wk but have a feeling this wk won't be as good, it's my own fault like don't know what was wrong with me this wk, I was blaming the cold but just kept eating, I feel like I'm using my points but using them on junk and nothing filling so I feel hungry constantly! Going to get out my book after work and start planning my meals properly for the next 7 days! Would love another half stone before xmas! 0 -

Holy Crap!!!!
That is amazing!
Did you do lots of excercise too or something?
That sort of loss would really spur you on... Congrats!0 -
