Creme Brulee :D (total no no now) or Steak and chips :D (both together preferably) hahaha with scallops to start ...

MMMMMMmmmmm

Mmmh very yummy:D
 
Well I impressed myself today. Was really hungry when we went to the garden centre this afternoon so went to the cafe. I came out without ordering anything, not even a sandwich or a glass of wine. I am so pleased.

I'm not counting jelly babies for hypos because I decided that would be very demotivating.

Today is:
Lunch - -antipasti meat, feta cheese, olives and sun dried tomatoes

Snack: I packet WW crisps

Dinner - calzone with a side salad of rocket, Parmesan and balsamic vinegar

Bubbly (present from OH's mum and dad)

Everything carefully measured and within my WW points for the day:D
 
If you need jelly beans/babies to correct a hypo than it is a fuel your body requires in that moment and medicinal rather than "eating sweets" so I think you're right to not count them. Hopefully you will get the insulin worked out for the diet so you don't get so much hypos xxx

I just had pizza at Prezzo with Hubbys mum and dad ( a woo you're going on holiday meal!) but was pretty good and had a pizza from their light menu so only 475 calories 🙂
 
Thanks Shambles about the jelly babies xxx. Well done you for keeping to the pizza light meal, I hope you enjoyed it🙂
 
It was nice for a change - I'm not a massive pizza fan xxx

but hubby would live off it if I let him!
 
According to the scales I've lost another pound - which means I've hit the half stone mark:D. But I won't celebrate too much until Friday which is my official weigh in day🙂. Meal plan today:

Lunch - antipasti meat, olives, feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes

4pm If I'm hungry packet of WW crisps or WW dessert

Dinner pork in creamy sauce with mushrooms, asparagus wrapped in ham and possibly, points permitting, potato Rossi

Wine🙂
Going to do a lot of BG tests to avoid a hypo
 
Thanks Alan. I thought that I'd done enough to prevent hypos but it dropped from 7.5 to 3.9 for no reason - it wasn't the heat because I was in a cold study. Two jelly babies and two hours of 0 per cent TBR and it's 10.3 - going to take advantage of the higher BG to burn calories in my vegetable patch:D
 
Well according to the scales this morning I've lost yet another pound.....if it has still gone by my weigh in on Friday I will be thrilled. No hypos today but not feeling very well so I've not eaten hardly anything and drunk lots of water. Hoping to find some appetite for my dinner tonight - asparagus and lemon hollandaise melts with stir fried baby corn, mushrooms and courgettes🙂

Hope you feel better soon Amanda, and enjoy your dinner 🙂
 
Thanks Alan🙂
 
Yes thank goodness another hypo free day - although I'm now having to deal with it going up in the early hours of the morning so I still need to tinkle with basals - but I will get there. This is the last day of week three of WW points and I've got loads of points left if I want to treat myself today - but I think that I will be a good girl.
I've had a small WW bar today and have paella planned for dinner. I might try a packet of WW nachos chips in the early evening - I don't normally snack in the evenings but thought that they could be nice with a glass of wine after OH comes home as we wait to watch the Agnetha interview on the One Show:D Weigh in tomorrow morning......................
 
Good to hear Amanda, you're doing really well! Hope you have a nice relaxing evening 🙂
 
Thanks Alan I'm feeling really positive about this. I've already filled the freezer with my meals for next week - I have to confess that they are ready meals but the portion control is working for me and I do supplement them with vegetables 🙂
 
Despite having had a lot of hypo jelly babies (and a hypo creme egg😱) this week I'm really pleased that I've lost another two pounds. I now weigh 14 stone 5lbs🙂
 
Meat pie tonight! Yummy:D I love my diet...got some spare points left to play with today but I might save them for tomorrow...however I have a confession. Haven't felt too well the last three days and although part of it is definitely the ME I also think that it's because I haven't eaten enough points - I had 23 spare at the end of yesterday (which was the end of my week) and I felt a bit light headed before I ate my lunch today😱 I will be good and try to use more of points each week and be happy with an average one pound a week weight loss

Well done you! Don't forget to add it to the total.
 
Thanks LeeLee I have put it on the total weight loss thread but can't do the large font total on my Ipad
 
Earned some extra pro points today with a 30 minute walk to and from the shops. Just enough points for an extra small glass of wine this evening:D
 
......how strange, and exciting, I appear to have lost three pounds in two days:confused: I'm not going to get too excited until I see what it says on Friday's weigh in day:D
Friday 14 st 5lb
Saturday 14st 4lb
Sunday 14 st 2 lb
