Seagazer

Have you room for one more in the 9-12 group? The challenge I was in finishes today, and it has been such a great help. My name is Seagazer (Kate), and I'm 90.4 kilo (198.8 lbs)

I love it too, but have to treat myself to it like a glossy magazine, otherwise I would get so very sidetracked !

[/quote] Thanks a lot, I'm thrilled to bits :happy: I'll get me a cheese cloth or something similar and try making my own cheese-quark-cheese tonight. Thanks a million:flowerforyou: [/quote] You are welcome, I've been experimenting with making cottage cheese recently, haven't got it like the stuff in the shops yet, but it…

Sorry, I got carried away by the quark recipe! I consider myself an honorary German, according to my anmeldeschein I lived in Oberhausen, Muenster and Greven....and spent a lot of time in Essen (Altenessen and Frohnhausen), so when I went to work in Giessen and Bamberg they were very amused by German with English akzent…

I need more water in the bath!

have you tried making your own? Sure it won't be quite the same, but it is perhaps worth a try! ( I miss Obazda) Quark, a simple curd Cheese You will need: 1 Litre (1¾ pints) of milk Juice of ½ lemon fresh herbs for flavouring (optional) a saucepan a colander some cheese cloth or muslin a washing up bowl a plastic…

Oh, what a shame, I thought we could call in ghostbusters!

Jenny it is a shame you don't burn calories righting the wrongs that have occurred through people faffing with the spreadsheet...everytime I log my burn there is an anonymous user also looking at the chart, wonder what that\s all about! Why would it interest someone who isn't taking part? I seem to have slipped down from…

I was 91.6 on Weds - kilo's that is - before you start wondering how I've dropped from over 200lbs!! Another business trip tomorrow....I'm doomed! Good to read about all your successes, and new habits..... I'm finding it difficult to fit in my early morning walk now it is dark and wet, and I am back at work, but I have…

Im still 40 minutes away on the coast !

For some reason I can't get to the spreadsheet, it just won't load, but I think I am down from last Wednesday.....203 lbs, done so much yoyoing this month, it's making me dizzy, but the general trend is downward, so that's ok....4lbs to onederland, would like to be there by Thanksgiving..... I think without this challenge…

[/quote] I'm helping jrnygirl out since she has been feeling sick. [/quote] I hope she is feeling better soon:flowerforyou: edited to add the quotes, but they are there, so not sure why it isn't showing like a quote!!

me too, I want to start now!!

Congratulations !! That is some achievement :happy:

My waist without a doubt, and I am pleased about that as my circumference was shocking, but is getting more acceptable now !

I'm not sure if I am happy to have discovered this or not!!

Well done ! Really pleased for you, I have 3 kilo to go til I can say the same.....hoping to be there by Thanksgiving !

What is it about Tuesdays that makes me forget to drink the water? What is it about Tuesdays that makes me reach for biscuits before realising that Wednesday is weigh in day? Luckily I realised as I was about to go for the chocolate! I seem to lose on Sundays, and then again Thursday... but Wednesday? Never!! Still the…

Well I enjoyed it while it lasted, and it has made me think about german food. i have got an Alfred Biolek Recipe Book somewhere, I might browse through it on Sunday. A lot of traditional food is quite heavy, and what I remember of the cuisine was a lot of creamy sauces, but a great selection of wholefoods and grain…

When I moved to Germany ( not to learn German, but because i had a contract as a ballet dancer in the Theatre), I only spoke school German (which is the best way to the train station please? and 'I would like to describe how one plays football' etc) I found it got a lot easier to speak German after the 3rd pils, and after…

is it Ok if we translate what we think we've said/ Or what we are trying to say - seeing as most of us who have replied are not native speakers?

:sad: I fell in the ice last November and lost my sense of taste and smell - couldn't even smell Marmite. Slowly but surely I have regained the savoury tastes, but Cadbury's just tastes wrong :sad: :sad: :sad: . I have always been a Cadbury's girl, and now Galaxy tastes better to me - it is shocking (but it is helping me…

I take my hat off to you. I am all to familiar with the ostrich malarkey. But 4 miles of running in the rain ? Wow, that will have boosted your mood, and undone a lot of the chocolate. Good for you. Could I be so inquisitive as to ask what make of chocolate it was?

Ash your weight loss is amazing, so glad you've had success this week :happy:

It is sad really, how much I enjoyed that food, and that I have to still talk about it nearly a week later .... yum yum yum. I can only recommend it to you!!

I hope the dinner went well! Sounded delicious Yay Shauna, what great results Dinner at Jamie Olivers - I am a glutton. I went Thursday evening and had VEGETABLE ANTIPASTI PLANK £6.85 A HEAD Seasonal vegetables, sliced vegetables, chargrilled, marinated and chilled Italian cheeses, buffalo mozzarella and pecorino with…

Think this Wednesday sees us at the half way mark? I feel I ought to readjust my goals, as I really had no idea about weight loss when I started this back in July. I think I need to be aiming to get out of "obese" and into overweight for thanksgiving, which would also put me in ONEderland. Starting today I am upping my…

Well a bit of success for me today after last weeks fiasco, and tomorrow I am going to have to walk for a couple of hours as I have the chance to go to Jamies (oliver) Italian. As aware as he is of healthy eating, he doesnt have calories or nutritional breakdown on his menu - yet....so I will have to proceed with caution,…

I'm in Yorkshire - and on my way to Brum tomorrow! You are welcome to add me if you'd like...

Thank you for posting, really well explained
