Bread has always been a downfall for me in the past when I was eating healthy ....

I hated crispbreads and those *brown pieces of cardboard* erm ...Ryvitas

Im going to give up bread all together I think ..

We could probably wear each others' clothes...

Don't forget that American sizes are different to UK ones.

Guess I forgot that....

Have you tried Dark Rye Ryvata? I think they are quite tasty. Original Ryvita isn't very interesting. Also try 'Dutch Crispbread' that's pretty tasty too. Then there's Pagens' Krisprolls....

UK size 10 is equivalent to American size 6....I think.

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing

I will try them thanks ...
Its just if Im having a salad or pasta dish I like to have a nibble on something with it ..

Not according to my American catalogue.

Did another 30 minute session on my rowing machine last night

I hope you all are keeping to the healthy eating and great exercise

Hi all
Just wondered if anyone in here was doing Slimming World as i have a "free" recipe for a life saving snack,i did SW years ago with great success and have never regained the weight.For the last few years i have maintained by low carbing (mainly because it allows alcohol)it also is easier for me to make good choices eating out.
Good luck all of you
Maggie

Yes, I agree, when I lived in DC the clothes sizes were only 1 size different.

I'm doing slimming world, I'd love the recipe. Does in contain chocolate, whipped cream and caramel?

*Drools at chocolate, whipped cream and caramel*
Are we allowed to have an indulgence day.
Trifle for kev.

*waits for upcoming yummy life-saving recipe with chocolate, whipped cream, and caramel*

I've lo-carbed it before too, with some success. Unfortunately, once I started eating "normally", I gained the weight back.

It really DOES need to be a lifestyle change.

You're right Lori, it does and I will NOT allow myself to revert back to how I used to live ever again. It's been bloody hard work shedding weight this time around.

Mike - How'd it go today at the gym?

I lived in Manhatten a while ago but my O/H often brings me clothes back from the states when he is there on business ... tho I prefer jewellery

third night on my wii fit ... I am getting good I just need to stick to it. no sweets or crisps (chips) in the same time.

Did my 100 repetitions on the exerciser this morning. After my 'cooling down' period I had a cup of tea. When I got to work I had a fat free yogurt and more tea. (142 calories so far)
Around 1pm I had a roll with tuna and sweetcorn filling and the inevitable cup of tea.(465 calories now) Another cup of tea around 3pm and 2 yogurt bars around 5pm with a further 2, and tea, at 6. (so that's 780 calories we're up to) Have since had a choc ice and a cuppa, so today's tally so far is 935 calories. Not sure how much else I'll be having today, so I ddon't know if I'll have any spare calories for you today Mike.

Right, well I don't know why we're getting conflicting info about the sizes. Was wondering if it might have to do with the UK upsizing (or is it downsizing) their sizes a few years back.
i.e. the size 10 that I wear today would have been classed as a size 12 when I was in my teens and 20's.

I have a size 10 skirt from back then with a 22" waist. Today a size 10 has a 25" waist.

Afraid not Cinds it is a version of Doritos which is free on green days,get some sheets of dried lasagne and put into pan of boiling water leave til just soft wipe them til dry and cut them all into Dorito sized triangles spray a meat tin with frylight and lay them out on it than spray the top of them and sprinkle with salt,and/or garlic or chilli powder put into hot ovenwhen the top goes crispy turn over.
it takes a few goes to get it right,but you can flavour them anyway you like,and they keep for ages in an airtight container.
Sounds a bit complicated but only takes a few mins . Good luck hope you give them a go

My husband and I were on Atkins for awhile, and I remember LOTS of the same dessert: jello with whipped cream. We did our best to pretty it up, by putting it in a lovely glass sundae cup...

how did you do with the atkins? i don't fancy it but they reckon that protien stops you feeling hungry for longer than carbs and such.

We did just great. However, then we returned to normal, and then, we returned to... well, normal.

I have a skirt like that too I dunno could be but I have never had a problem working out American clothes ... It was when he brought me back clothes from china .... that was a dissaster he is going to take my measurements and get them hand made next time. But last time worked out okay I got no clothes & cultured saltwater pearls instead so i'm not complaining

Doing the wii fit every night after we put the babies down. Doing over an hours actual excercise though it takes longer so the whole night really with a break for Big Brother when SKY is working. Have a wii age of 29 !!!!!!! which I can tell you is not my age so i'm a happy bunny.

Still got a long way to go before I reach my ideal weight but I feel better for making a start. I have two lots of baby weight to loose. My youngest is 7 months so breastfeeding is also still a factor and I find it very draining as he is a hungry boy but I do feel the excercises are giving me more energy.

Thank you Yogi for doing this thread as it did help give me a kick start.
