Mine got very cross with me too! that diet just does not work for everyone
you know it did work for me...but you have to keep in mind not eating past full with it.....when I lost weight on it I would stop either when I took my long deep breath ( my personal sign that I am almost full)....and stuck to my choices.
But yeah....steak and salad dinners.....My favourite dinner was...(Spanish rice with refried beans on top...with Mexican spiced quorn finished off with avocado chunks and a little bit of cathedral city lower fat cheese.....Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
But after a while it would do my nut in with the red day green day thing.....then the mix and match stuff just confused me.....so it didn't work after a while. I was meant to continue on when I was pg but I just couldn't do it.....Seeing as I am eating nowt at the moment....I so would be will to try again once I come off this milk thing....I am sure they are going to put me on some low cal diet.....but hey , if I don't put any weight back on...and make sure I used my little tricks of the trade and stop just before I am full.....then maybe i will be ok...I haven't done that one for a while...
But I will get the cups too.....Neen, you'll get yours before I get mine....let me know what the cups stand for .....
mazza actually you can tell me...tell me about the cups please..if it cooked food...raw food....how do they work?
p.s.--- uber proud of myself...OH made sausages for his tea and there was some spare....he offered me one and piled on the pressure....said one bite wouldn't hurt....and just to have one....he handed it to me... and I just put it in my son's bowl and said I didn't want to do it...I just wouldn't feel right about it.
Then about 5 minutes later he said he was sooooo proud of me and he said " and I really piled the pressure on too" you are so disciplined....really proud you didn't cave.....
Almost there girlies.....It really isn't killing me at all....it is more the thought of eating rather than the eating itself..... I know I am not hungry....the smells don't help....but I know I will be just fine.

Well done with the sausages FFBB, I think I would of caved. I have disgusted myself with my weakness when it comes to food. Still trying though.
I struggled on slimming world too. I think my capasity for food is just too large although the red days were good. I just used to stick to them. Rosemary Connoly is the one diet I have never tried, sonds sensible though. Prior to the band I was a weight watchers girl, up and down like a bloody yo yo, I have promices myself I will never ever do that to myself again.
I love this rock music conversation, bit before my time (sorry, hehe) but I was a rock chick in the early 90s, loved guns N roses, Nirvana, pearl jam, metalica etc. I also like a man with long hair, both my husband and ex have long hair. I think my ideal man (looks wise) is somewhere between a Bee gee, Jesus and a lumber Jack (with a heart of gold). hehe. I dont think I have discussed fit men since I was at college.

Hi Girls x
Hope everyone is OK so far today
I have been on slimming world and didn't really get anywhere, pre band the most successful things I did (whilst I was doing them) were the Paul McKenna I can make you thin and Atkins diet.
My problem was twisting the "rules" to allow my silly eating issues to get included and eventually any success was wasted because I did it to include cheating.
Jenn I am trying to not make any innuendos regarding your husbands sausage temptation test...well done though hunny!!!
Leesh yeah I am so glad to see you posting again , keep on mingling OK?
I have decided I might have to start posting pictures of hunky men to tempt everyone back and help stop the naughtie food nibbling.....
You can have one (beef) cake of the week and one only! And that's the only cake you are getting
It's so cool to have all these rock chicks emerging!!! We need to get slinky and back into the spandex , pvc and leathers clearly!! Maybe not faux leopardskin and headbands though

hehe- thanks CC!!
Leesh- yeah well I thought I just might have one bit...but i didn't...so super happy even now. I just couldn't go through all that I have the last couple and weeks and cave for a sausage....If i was going to cave at least make it worth it...*LOL* so I will just wait till I can actually have a nice meal when I am finished with this.
I will make sure that when I come off that I use my smaller plates for my dinner....and stick to what I know it right. I will still have the odd treat of pizza or grilled chicken kebab.....but nothing to say I can't 2 pieces and salad to fill me up....or spices grilled chicken and salad.....mmmmmmmmmm salad.... I really miss it now...and fruit.... But at least for me this was a learning experience....and I will make sure that I do my best so that I can lose more weight until the surgery.
I may just try to have my normal balanced diet....cuz I seldom get take aways maybe one every month or two....everything is from scratch to include pasta, and rice dishes....nothing is packet....even pizza is from scratch. My favourite is spinach and ricotta...but instead using a wholemeal crust ( very thin) it is lush.....and a small side salad.
anyway enough about food....well one more thing...I am going to get the portion pots and see how that works out....no better time to make sure I get to grips with it all now before it all come slap in my face.
The thing I like about slimming world is I don't have to go and buy a load of special stuff....and I love quorn. I would happily never have chicken again....but I believe that quorn has more fat then chicken....but I haven't done a check on it...I think i read it somewhere. Plus everything we make for the kids are mostly veg based.

Neen,
hahaha....yeah that one wasn't on the menu...I think he was too tired....but I did read you burn 200 calories her Big O you have......so I am determined to have a few more so I can burn more fat....never a better excuse I would say....
I am really surprised you all struggled so much on slimming world. I would say I actually lost more on that, then i have starving myself on this milk diet. I like the green and red...but I did find after a while, that I would stick to it but not a lot was happening...always around the 2 stone mark....then poof it would stall.....
Yesterday I only lost 6oz....which really is really pants...but I know I only have 4 more to go...I need to keep this in mind......
p.s neen---- you keep posting the men....it is doing me a world of good.
p.s.s leesh- -- nirvana was great...I was 14/15 when feels like teen spirit came out....I remember singing and thrashing out with my mates in their cars to this...out to play pool...and show the boys a thing or two about tactics and " you can look but you can't touch!" *LOL* Metallica was another story...my brothers were into them since I was about 5/6 years old so I was always a big fan...but must admit I haven't listened to them from after the black album.....they went a bit mainsteam and it just didn't work so much for me anymore.

Thanks Neen,
Yeah I am about to go and get a shower and do my hair so at least I look like I cared enough to not just throw my hair up in a pony or bun. Your hair looks as long at mine...may yours is a tab bit longer....
Gonna let my eldest play a few video games on the x-box before we go as he only get about 1 hour a week to play.
with regards to Wow....I have no idea what you are on about....
Unfortunately for me I have to make cakes....( it's my business) but luckily for me I don't like cake as a dessert, so it's all good. I just can't make anything whilst I am on this diet as I need to be able to taste things to see if they have the right taste or texture.
Anyway, I will see you lot about later.....

Jenn x Have a good one! I was on about World of Warcraft...as you may have realised I am a steaming nerdy geek and make no apologies for it Hurray!
I love cakes and baking but I try and limit the amount as I would be a cake with everything kind of gal if I could get away with it.
Though my fave thing ever is a fresh cream slice....so bad , I know.
I have looong hair...short just looks wrong on me , it is a pain though, getting trapped in armpits and worse etc (plus I am an old rock chick...it's against my nature to cut it more than even an inch at trim time!
Leesh....lol a lumberjack eh....I am scared of what I might come up with googling your requirements but I will do what I can for you !
Dean has a goatee at the mo and it suits him but I do prefer clean shaven ...just for the practical - ness !!
I know what you mean about the shopping wish list...I would probably go nuts in "Hot Topic" if I could...though I don't know if I would have the ca-jungas to wear any of it at 42!!

you two....my goodness. When i think of lumber jack I just think of monty python..
"He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa."
*LOL*
My hair is about 2 inches shorter than yours...I know my vaccum is always getting blocked up with my hair....it goes everywhere...which is why I wear it up most of the time...
Gotta run...but talk later....Party party party!!

LOL Jenn hehe
I might be able to find a sort of lumberjack pic with Marcus in it....I shall google and see what I can come up with...but I don't think he has a beard in it,...although still rather lovely!
The weirdest thing with my hair is when I wear a certain jumper, I get little hairballs gathering under the armpit on the sleeves.....um yeah that sounds disgusting sorry
I thought I was being attacked by a stealth rodent the first time I spotted one
Enjoy your party Jenn...be strong!!!

hi all
Thanks Neen for the supportive message ref weight loss and hints and tips.
I can see what you mean about not putting too much pressure on.
SW worked for me in an odd way. I lost over 5 stone with it, I was also smoking like a trooper to curb cravings for food and working in a shop so on my feet all day every day. I could never work out how many sins actually worked for me. If I stuck to the 10-15 they suggested I never lost weight but if I had 50-100 a day I lost loads!!! It all ended up screwing my head up with yet more feelings of despair and failure, espesh when I finally quit smoking. It all went back on and gained every pound along with 3.5 more stone. We live and learn.
I was given a set of the RC scoopy things you mentioned mazza, I've saved the link you gave and will look it up for reference later this evening.
Been so poorly this month I can't believe!! Hammering headaches and exhaustion, then a streaming cold, now got me a fine little ear infection a brewing, it's making me feel very despondant. I have to say you all put me to shame. I am nowhere near as strict with myself as you all seem to be.
Time to work at it good and proper!!
This weekend was going well, I was feeling ok yest so went to pics and opticians with my girls, we all need glasses and I enjoyed the film. I made a bunch of choccy cakes and ear started playing up. Not done much today, got up and had a shower in an attempt to shake this illness, will be popping out Body Shop brochure collecting later, so will have a small walk and making the sunday roasty for tea, loads of veggies.
Bit of X Factor and I'm for bed.
Good to see the banter and looking forward to seeing the Monday mugshot (short haired and over 16 yrs special request lol)
Hope to look in later xxx

well...the party was um....interesting...7 little boys no kind of entertainment...so that was special. Maybe it is just me, maybe i am just an over reactive mum, but why do people go to parties and then just dump them of and leave others to watch their children. It's never the well behaved kids they leave....so you spend you time trying to teach them some manners and how to play with others nicely. uuuuhhhh so annoying. Well I was right bored off my bum. Luckily for me there was another mum I knew that was there and so at least I had someone to talk to.
The kids enjoyed the grub, and I wasn't tempted one bit...but since I have been home...all I want to do it eat....Part of me so just wants to eat something...and the other half things no only 4 more lbs to go. OH is having pizza...and it is driving me crazy.........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Rache : Hi love ! I am sorry that you have been feeling poorly
There's not much we can do when we're ill, but you can get back to it when you are fully over all the yucky stuff.
I am really looking forward to the portion cups as I still have binge-ers eye when it comes to cooking and dishing up...not sure if somewhere deep down I am scared to feel hungry??? Weird
Anyway, I think they will help me and I won't have to rely so much on weight watchers ready meals. I have them because I don't trust myself with proper portions of real food....I think that this will be liberating as I have no idea of a portion size that's acceptable for me.
Sounds like despite feeling blurgh you still have had a nice relaxing weekend with your family so that's awesome.
I promise all my beefcakes are well over the age of consent to leer at or anything else you can think of Marcus and Beiron from the pages before are my age soooo...still hawt though!!!!

Hiya Jenn...phew you managed to get through the party...hope the kids had a lovely time!
You are going to have to have a serious word with OH !! He double triple owes you for all the temptations he's dangling
Ok you had a little bit of pizza, not much you can do about whats gone in already so pop it in the fridge or food bin and think about the fact that you are soooo close.
What you have had won't do damage as long as it's a one off ...what you do most of the time, that adds up....and that is what really matters.
