It's true - Mr G did it: he trained to be a personal trainer after conversations on here...

Re: Weight Watchers
Preston1990 you'll be pleased to know that I did for the walk but as for the fab thighs it'll take more than an hours walk 
Just been to Ikea tonight and for one of the very few times I didn't have meatballs
I had a weight watchers chilli before I went so that I would resist and just had a cola light on my way out, does all the walking around there count as exercise?

Re: Weight Watchers
Went to MyWeight tonight. Got weighed again and had gained another 400g. OH on the other hand had lost 3kg! I have no idea how! Ok, I cut out his Snickers but that can't make that much of a difference, surely? So he gets all the backslapping and the blue stickers for doing nothing on his own. Lovely. And I found out that I properly hate exercise. I am fine with walking etc. but try to get me to do stupid moves on a yoga mat, and I will not be best pleased. I did them though - OH gave up half way through, the wuss!

Re: Weight Watchers
Diane, Well done for having that walk, it's great to see that you're keeping up the exercise regime!Diane65 wrote:Preston1990 you'll be pleased to know that I did for the walk but as for the fab thighs it'll take more than an hours walk
I just wanted to compliment you on your Onion Marmalade recipe that you shared on this thread last week. I made some yesterday to top off my beef burger - it was Scrumdiddlyumptious and as you said so easy to make. I had to use Dark brown soft sugar as I didn't have any of the light stuff in. But it turned out great!
Here's a link back to Dianes recipe:
http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... 50#p217441
If you've got any more - keep them coming. Maybe we should start a centralised collection of recipes with an index and keep them all together somewhere? What do you think everyone?
Meals Today
1. banana (thanks anakin) , pot of earl grey no milk or lemon.
2. celery, carrot battons. Tiny amount of organic lemon humous dip to add a bit of flavour.
3. Seared fresh Fresh Tuna steak on bed watercress, rocket, spinach salad leaves.
4. Rope grown Mussels cooked in a fragrant thai sauce. Small piece of crusty bread.
5. Endamame and adzuki salad beans with soy and ginger dressing. Can recomment this - had it yesterday - tastes fab so having again today.
Still Day one of my revisited cardio exercises - never got them done yesterday as planned. Must do them today!!

Re: Weight Watchers
What a fab idea re the recipes as I really like the idea of Endamame and adzuki salad beans with soy and ginger dressing and I'm so pleased that you liked the Onion Marmalade. What a delicious day you have ahead but still amazed at how you can survive on a banana for breakfast, I'm a cereal girl.
Todays menu:
Branflakes (300 calories as I have a large portion)
Cup a soup, bread roll and an apple (250 calories)
Beans on toast on multi-seed bread followed by pineapple and a muller light coconut yoghurt with dark chocolate (recommended by akh43) (450 calories)
Maltesers (200 calories) I know its not nutritious but going to the theatre so custom to have chocolates and its in my 1200 calorie limit
I will fit in a walk today as have a 2 hour gap in the middle of the day.
This is from Tilly

I get their magazine free every 2 months and they have brilliant tips and recipes, in this months they have Salmon with warm tomato and herb dressing, Barbecued mackerel with spices, Grilled mackerel with cherry tomato, pea and spinach salad and lemony salmon pitta pockets. I don't have access to a scanner but I'm happy to email the recipes to anyone who wants
them. They also have really good tips re healthy lifestyles etc and if you have a healthy heart what more can you ask for!

Re: Weight Watchers
Well done everyone, by the way. All the meals sound yummy - what a bonus that they're healthy!
BTW, Beate, 400g could just be a different jumper weighing that much more...!
