I give blood regularly, the only thing I do is make my day before my donation meal either liver and bacon, or black pudding, something iron rich. I do drink plenty on donation day but then I drink a lot of coffee & water anyway so that isn't really anything different.

How much coke are you meant to add,

Were you weighing in your sweatshirt before, I always weigh how I was born, wearing a smile and nothing else.

Haven't be able to find Spaghetti squash in the UK...no fair:sad:

Need to try this is sounds wonderful

How do the milk almonds? :laugh: :laugh:

When I make rolls I weight them on my scales, each one is 100g, saves all the guesswork out and they all end up the same size. I did go through the weight from 150g downwards till I founds a size that was just right to fit a burger in etc. Try weighing them before you bake them, at the last kneading as you are putting them…

Hi from sunny Bristol, UK B = Frosted Shreddies and semi skimmed milk D= Crockpot Chicken and veg casserole T = Low fat soft cheese and crackers Snacks= none today apart from a gallon of coffee

Do you not have to cook it? or is it cooked chicken you use

Double Post

Peeps I am trying to lose weight here but with all the popcorn I am eating watching this thread I am on next weeks logging now. :bigsmile:

HI, I also use a pedometer and do a minimum of 10,000 steps per day, I have been using it for over a year now, The British Heart Foundation website says that you burn 400 calories if you do 10,000 over the course of the day so that is the measure I use although as I have lost weight the calorie net has gone down to 357.…

I add a grilled sausage sliced to soup for texture when serving it is amazing, just make sure they are lean and not too fat, as you only add 1 it is not too bad calorie wise. :drinker:

Do you not need to add anything moist like water or stock,

I have a bread machine but only use it to make rolls, as a whole 2lb home- made loaf of bread is the food of the devil who will make you eat loads of it in one sitting:mad: I can let you have some recipes if you want but none of them are low calorie hence the reason I only make 100g rolls at least then I have some control…

Will try and do these this weekend, they sound yummmmmmy

I am 4ft 11, I want to be 8 1/2 stone (120lb). I was that 6 years ago :smokin: , then I gave up smoking and the weight piled on. Only 30 lb to go :tongue:

Every Saturday is my eat what I want day, it might be a fry up or a bag of crisps, it all get logged, mainly so I can find it easier for the next time :bigsmile:

At my age I need all the preservatives I can get so I never buy organic, plus the only lb's I would lose would be £ financial ones

I buy the dry bbq rubs and put over a dry skinless chicken breast, leave in a bag or covered bowl in the fridge overnight to marinade, then put into the oven to roast. The rub acts like a skin and helps keep it moist. I slice it and place it in a wrap with light mayo, watercress, tomatos and cucumber, A tasty lunch, or…

I was 50 in Aug you are welcome to add me. From Bristol UK

would love to try this but we cannot get Angel cake mix in the UK, anyone got any substitutes for us Brits

If you have a smartphone, download a free app called Big Oven. It has a section where you can put 3 ingredients in and it will give you recipes using those ingredients, I use it all the time especially to use up leftovers.

When my hubby had his heart attack part of his rehabilitation was to do 2 X 30min walks a day. He still does them now 3 years later. He has managed to loose 3 stone just by that and giving up most of the the booze. He only indulges now on a Saturday eve. Wish it was that easy for me to lose it :grumble:

UK here,

I have the opposite happening, was twice in Aug, and now again this week just hoping it will settle to a regular pattern again soon I keep thinking I will be starting the 'change' soon as I am 50 but they are getting more frequent not less :grumble:

I would assume which ever ones made me lighter are correct :laugh:

Interesting article, will try what it suggests and see what happens

Eat Less Move More

I have an ice cream maker but it is thrown in the back of the cupboard everytime I try to make a healthy one with greek yogout it goes really hard and uneatable without breaking teeth. If someone could tell me what I have to do to get it smooth creamy I would be eternally grateful.
