I just wiki'd American Biscuits...So now I know! They're like scones but without the fruit? I love the idea of biscuits and gravy....yummmmmmm I learn something new every day on this site!

The pot pies sound DELICIOUS!!! Is biscuit the same as short crust pastry? Any idea what equivalent to pilsbury might be in UK? I feel a visit to the big supermarket coming on..

all great suggestions! Thanks! I think i'd have to work out for 8 hours straight to be able to eat the size of pork pie I used to (what does "family size" MEAN anyway? :laugh: :laugh:

I absolutely adore sausage rolls, pork pies, pasties, quiches...just about everything that is top of the forbidden list. THis is a cause of much upset ... does anyone know of any good low(er) fat alternatives? Yours in pastry-deprived desperation, DJ

Ah! I wondered what an egg beater omlette was!! Thanks for that! I'm really into sainsbury's be good to yourself stuff at the moment. Their Hummus is ok!

I should change my username to TeaAddict... I figure I have about 7-10 cups a day some days!! Deffo time to switch to decaff.... but urgghh...its against my principals!!:grumble: :laugh:

Oh God I hear you loud and clear! I just cant live without it... Actually I did make a super salty chicken dhansak last night... hmmm

Thanks for your posts guys- really good to know that others feel the same way.. Hanna- You are absolutely right about frequency of weigh-ins... I am double guilty as I have posted about this before and I should know better than to weigh daily:embarassed: I am REALLY going to try hard to only do it once a week (ooh matron)…

Yes, me and hubby going for the lifestyle change together! He's not MFPer though- he doesn't like to count calories- he just counts fat and it seems to work for him! Horses for courses I suppose! The most annoying thing about tandem dieting at the moment is the fact that he REALLY loves going to the gym and is a little bit…

Ok so on sunday I had lost 2 pounds, i've been doing well since then- no going over or anything- i weighed myself today and I've gone up 1 pound. Knickers. I know it could be water, indigestion or all sort of things but it makes you wish you'd never weighed in... I dont even know why i'm posting this because I know it's…

In the UK you get them from Sainsbury's but i reckon you can get them in most supermarkets. They are just the circular part of a back bacon rasher which has no fat running through it. They are small (about size of a small fried egg) but very tasty. I reckon you could use turkey rashers instead and it would work :smile:

I had these a couple of days ago and they were rather nice. Ok they weren't exactly like going to macdonalds but hey..you're standards of yummyness changes when you're on a reduced calorie diet!!

I've lost 11 pounds since Jan 1st- and I've been eating more than I EVER would on any stupid crash diet I may have tried before! All praise to MFP! :heart: :heart: :heart: And to all you MFPers who give such generous support! :flowerforyou:

This is exactly why I LOVE this site! Everyone on it really helps each other not to freak out and get really neurotic and miserable about what should be a really positive experience. I am quite new to the whole thing and reading these forums regularly has given me more hope and positive thinking about weight loss than I've…

Awesome is the word my friend :smile: I'm going to find and try out a low fat recipe and share it with you all (if it doesn't taste pooey)!

Now that sounds like a deal! I didnt get my pork bun...just I as getting to the place where they sell them, I got called into work:grumble: :grumble: Then met hubby who said it was too late and we had to go home:brokenheart: :brokenheart: So I'm still dreaming.... my God when did I get so pathetic?? It's totally crept up…

You're right. I have bad trouble sleeping- always have done. So it could be a case of restlessness + boredom = imaginary hunger... but then i do often have excess calories to use up so maybe i jest need to get my act together during the day. It's funny, I;ve been feeding myself for 26 years and I STILL cant get it right!…

Now I have a beoootiful image of german chocolate cake in my head! Good job it aint in my fridge!!:laugh: Thanks for the advice- I had a low fat hot cross bun as couldnt resist!

It it ok to eat at night time if you wake up hungry and have calories left to use up? I know it's best to use them during day so that I'm NOT hungry during the night... but some days dont work out like that. I was always told that eating late at night was very bad if you were trying to lose weight but if I'm keeping to my…

it is good to know that other peeps do it too. Today was a gain day and I've been in a bit of a bad mood about it all day....definitely should restrict my weigh-ins to once a week. Either that or GET MYSELF A GRIP!!!! :explode:

fabulous! thanks. I can sleep easy now :happy: :flowerforyou:

lol....but i want one tomorrow:sad: :sad: :sad: ahem sorry...you're right...need sleep! :yawn:

I am suffering a serious mama-jamma craving for a chinese steamed pork bun from a street vendor in Leicester Square. They are about the size of a grapefruit (so not the little dim-sum ones). I need to know if I can reasonably fit it in to my meal plan tomorrow. Anyone have many idea how many calories? Ha ha! My stomach…

Ooh I dont have a cheat day...yet! It sounds like a good idea though. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

I blame my wiifit...it asks me if i want to do a body test every time i get on. I cant resist that little square bar steward...

Sadly I do feel worse when it doesn't read how i would like... it motivates me a bit more, but preoccupies me far too much. I will try weeklies but i guess i worry that i need to keep track or i might get a nasty shock at the end of the week.

you go up by whole pound even though you've been really good previous day?

I cant stop weighing myself every day. I know it's not sensible but i'm just too impatient... Anybody else do this? I need to stop because I'm getting a bit neurotic about it! :frown: :frown: ho hum

Brilliant. Love it. (Geordie and able to take a joke.) :drinker:

Mine changes all the time- today it's Mattessons Turkey rashers- good as an occasional substitute for bacon- lovely with english mustard! yum yum. What's yours? Share the knowledge peeps!
