As expected I had a gain this week. I have got to pull myself together and get over this!

I finished yesterday fine with a spaghetti bolognese made with soya mince and crammed full of peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweetcorn, spinach!!

I have had Quorn sausages, beans and eggs for brunch - I don't have brekkie before Image Therapy!!

Really hoping for a good week, I know I can do it!!

Hope everyone else is doing well and heres to a great week for us all!![msnsmile2]

Going out for dinner tonight but only to my neighbours house as it is her son's birthday! She is watching her weight to(we go to class together) so the meal will be fine. I have had a busy afternoon so I have been ok so far today!!

I have given myself an good talking to!! So, myself and I have agreed to try and lose what I gained and a little bit more to prove I can do it!!

I know I can, I know I can!!!

Hi all

Well I am back - again!! After a week with no internet I was beginning to feel like my arms had been chopped off [msnoo]

The weather here is awful at the moment. It is warm enough but it's sandstorm season so thick sand everywhere and not pleasant at all to be out in. I will be pleased when it is over and the warms up a little more so that I can start swimming again as I need some exercise.

I have been here 3 months already and enjoying it very much. It is a very different lifestyle and pace - but that's not always a bad thing.

I have been reading the food diaries that you have all been posting - trying to get some inspiration as I need to get back into it. It has taken me 3 months to find a fat free yogurt but I have bought some Ski D'lite. Need to check the syn value but they are 99% fat free so I am hoping that they will be low (or free). What I do miss is Quorn products - can't find meat free anything here (well I haven't so far)

Less than 3 months until I go to Florida and I am 6 lbs heavier than I was when I moved to Kuwait so I certainly have some work to do. Ironically enough tho - most of that weight went on AFTER we stopped eating out??? Not sure how that works???

Anyway I have to go for now. Not contacted any of the family since the internet was fixed so I had better let them know that we are all OK.

Have a good night all

Elaine

Welcome back Elaine[msnsmile2]

Well done Jan[clap][clap][clap] Big hug for Frances, I know you can do it[grouphug] Elaine welcome back again, its horrible without the internet, sounds like you are really ready to get back on track - it must be hard in a different country so very well done mrs[clap][clap]

I am so pleased with myself (sorry that sounds just a touch big headed[msnembarrased]) but I have had such a good day again today, I am weighing and measuring everything, not a thing pops in my mouth without it being recorded on my food diary and planned[clap]

Green day today but a very restrained one with smaller portions.......

banana and actimel 1.5
starbucks skinny latte HEA - I have cut down from two to one[angel]
milk for small homemade latte and teas HEA
extra lean minced beef 71g (cooked weight) HEB made into a chilli with tons of peppers, mushrooms, tomato's, passata and kidney beans with boiled rice
home made banoffee pie made with a toffee muller light, a chopped banana and 1 Hovis digestive (crushed) biscuit 2 syns
loads of blueberries
lots of water[angel]

total syns 2.5

Feeling sooooooo good about this week, (even more chuffed as its t.t.o.t.m[msnwink])

I really do need 2lbs off a week between now and Florida [clap]

Marie hope you are OK? You are quiet today[grouphug]

Well done everyone we can definitely do this[clap][clap][clap][clap]

[Pegasus928]

Well done Jan [clap][clap][clap]

For Frances [grouphug] - it is hard sometimes but what I do know from experience is that the ladies on here will always help when you are atruggling.

WOW Julie I need some of your energy please. I really wish there was a better selection of yogurts out here, especially Muller Lights as that banoffee dessert you made sounds gorgeous.

Those Ski D'Lite yogurts turned out to be 10 syns each [msnoo][msnoo][msncry][msncry] according to the syns calcuator on the SW site. Low in fat but unfortunately very high in sugars. So its back to the search on that front. I must admit I am gutted as I thought I had finally found something suitable.

Anyway it is almost 1 a.m here and I am up way too late considering I have to be up with the kids for school at 5.45 a.m. They leave a lot earlier for school over here and have to be on the bus by 6.30 [msneek]. DH is already up and out to work by the time I get up with the kids - all these early mornings are killing me [msnsad][msnsad]

Good night all

Elaine
