Thanks Shazz - have just managed to get another couple of glasses in this evening. Will probably be up to the loo all night now LOL. I only had 2 coffees today as well which is about half my usual effort so feeling pleased on that front.

Well done mrs mac - avoiding the pizza will be worth it on weigh in day

My day today:
B'fast
1 black espresso coffee - no milk or sugar (a legacy of the SS days)
175g low fat natural yoghurt (another hangover from SS days)
100g fresh pineapple

Lunch
100g home made hommous
celery sticks (no idea how many)
1 apple

Dinner
1 medium bowl of lemon thyme chicken with spinach and pea pilaf (see the other thread for the recipe)
Going for a cup of tea now.

[~Kim~]

Shazz, watermelon is 1/2point, you can have 10 plain rice crackers for 1 point and I have to go look up the pineapple...

pineapple fresh 100g 1/2point.

[mrsmac]

Here goes:
Breakfast
2 slices agean apricot loaf (brumbys) toasted with a smear of marg
1 cup of tea milk 2 sugars
1 thin pancake with lemon juice and 1tsp sugar
1 banana
1/2 cup grapes
1 Lean cuisine salmon and dill pasta
10 glasses of water
This is my best day by far and I have a headache and feel desperate for some chocolate!!!

[~Kim~]

I find with the water thing 2L in a jug looks like a lot, so I just use a bigger than average glass (my one at work is over 350ml) so you get way more in six glasses than you think and it's not so hard IYKWIM? That way even if your are pushing it, if you have one before and after a meal you get your 6 glasses in without trying.
I try to have one though everytime I go to the loo (I have had kidney failure though and drink about 3L a day)

[mrsmac]

I just had a diet chocolate mousse too which is only 1 point!! Riley keeps wanting to share it though. I worked out Dh's points for fun he is up to 70 for dinner and drinks LOL

Actually WW has a few nice ones too. I find most of the chicken ones are pretty good.

[QUOTE=Lea13;[B]Kaz76 [/B]- Just so you know I moved your recipe over into this thread! Hope that's okay

Hey Lea - no problem. I am pretty internet/chat room dumb. There seem to be lots of rules and I am happy to be corrected or moved I actually thought I started a new thread earlier this evening for recipes to keep them all in one spot and not disrupt the flow of discussion too much (it was Kazbah's idea) but now I can't find it

[Lea13]

Sorry Kaz I moved it out to keep the threads streamlined. I have been waiting to get your email addy so I could let you know!

Could you all check this thread and get back to me if I need your details.

Thanks.

2.4l water so far 9still going)
2 coffees
2 KM shakes
1 banana
Veal steaks grilled withlemon with grilled tomatoes, steamed cauliflower & baked carrots
2 chuppa chup

Just about to get my rice crackers and dip........

[~Leanne~]

Today I have been naughty

Brekky - 3 apricots and 200g diet yoghurt\
Lunch - left over salad from last night's dinner, piece of cheese.
Dinner - Fish and veggies.

BUT - after reading that you can have 4 marshmallows for a point Katy and I shared 1/2 a bag. Considering Katy ate about 4 I have done really bad. My intentions were to then go and do a bout of exercise to work off some sugar, but my DD had other plans, and my holey wisdom tooth also reared its ugly head this afternoon, (not that the sugar would have helped). Grr a vicious cycle.

I am struggling with the water. Diet lemonade no problems,,,, water. Struggling.
Well done everyone on your achievements thus far.
I am off to bed.
