[quote=Alcmene;10616027]Well you can just scramble and make cinnamon eggs.

I have cinammon eggs all the time. Nice with a dash of vanilla extract, splenda, cream cheese and butter. My little girl loves them too although I reckon she'd like the waffles even more...

Bibby · 07-24-2008, 12:36 AM

Oh Emslight that sounds absolutely fantastic especially to one who can't get bacon easily.

I have had a lovely time reading all your posts girls. Everyone has so many good ideas. Oh BTW, I have ordered (through a friend in the UK) electric Mossie repellers. They are solar powered and clip onto things. SO I have ordered 2, one for my handbag, one for the patio table and one for the bedroom window. I hope they work. Here's a link Sonic Mosquito Repellent - Buy cheaper online with BA High Life Shop

Anyway I haven't been entirely good, but I am losing weight again, think it is mainly because the heat and some pills I am taking seem to be supressing my appetite.

We have quite a few English broadcasts here Mint but one I think you have is BBC Prime. Not joking peeps, -of a weekend they will play (say) Vicar of Dibley back to back for over 12 hours with just two episodes of something else in the middle somewhere to break it up. I think last weekend it was Only Fools and Horses. I enjoy the movie channels and looking at the subtitles does sometimes teach us a word.

Bibby · 07-24-2008, 01:07 AM

Oh no!!! Link doesn't work! Maybe they have run out of the gizmo's. ANyway maybe you could google them, they certainly sound interesting.

shykins · 07-24-2008, 01:33 AM

umm doesnt that make 3???

Bibby · 07-24-2008, 01:47 AM

LOL I hit wrong key. Meant 3

junkfoodmonkey · 07-24-2008, 06:47 AM

Bibby, do you get a lot of mosquitoes in your handbag then?

I had the French toast this morning. One Minute Muffin plain, made in a small oblong tupperwear box, split into two slices. (Made last night and allowed to cool.) This morning, dipped each slice into a beaten egg. One egg was enough for both sides of the two slices. Fried in lard. I put fried bacon and slice of chedder cheese between the slices once cooked. Yeah... that was pretty tasty. And by "pretty tasty" I mean "fantastic!"

MintQ8 · 07-25-2008, 12:34 PM

Hi All

Just a quick note to say - have finished Day 2!!!!

I know that doesn't sound like a lot to be impressed with - but I have been having real difficulty knuckling down to Atkins.

Found some great relatively lc soya milk - 0.6 grams per 100grams - and I like it in my tea. Today I have bought an even lower brand 0.1 grams per 100 grams - will see what that tastes like soon.

Hope all are doing well - courage Mum!!!!!

Bibby - I hate mosquitos and they love me - let me know how your things work! Please!!!

Take care

Bibby · 07-25-2008, 01:09 PM

I wont be getting them till my friend brings them over in late September. Meanwhile I have suggested she tests one in the UK. Where she lives the mozzies are far worse than here, so it'll be a good test (providing the solar panel gets enough sun during the day, LOL).

I will report back as soon as I hear from her.

Kissa · 07-26-2008, 09:51 AM

I could try to order some for you Vicky they may arrive in time for me to bring them???

MintQ8 · 07-26-2008, 02:12 PM

Probably not enough time - did see something called Mozzie Off - from Scotland - a natural anti-mozzie skin spray.

Just been to the local village festival - for want of a better word - had a nice time - drank too much (what a shock!) but ate on program.

Night night

shykins · 07-27-2008, 01:16 AM

what about that avon stuff thats supposed to be mossi repellant altho its actually a body cream??/ think its skin so soft or something similar

junk that sounds great i havent made a muffin for a couple weeks am firmly in ooopsie mode lol

mint well done on staying on planl.. u and yr moving aorund we cant keep up with what prt of the world u are in lol

Ailuros · 07-27-2008, 01:43 AM

It's a bit too hot for me. I'll be looking for the coolest corner to hide in today.

shykins · 07-27-2008, 09:58 AM

OMGGgg how hot has it been today

had a lovely bbq tho.. now sat inside with a fan on me pheeewww

junkfoodmonkey · 07-28-2008, 12:27 AM

Ah the bittersweetness of weight loss. I finally had to bite the bullet and decide my favourite purple trousers have to go to the Oxfam shop now. It doesn't matter how much I like them, if breathing in too far would make them fall down, then they gotta go!

So... shopping trip?

MintQ8 · 07-28-2008, 04:02 AM

So sad when that happens - and yet - what a joy!!!

On Day 5 - very happy with myself - it hasn't been too terrible - nor have I been overly strict - but imagine around the 20gram mark most days!!!

Hope you're okay Bibby - not to near the blasts?

Okay - off to Ikea - need to buy bed linen for old folks imminent arrival (ie Kissa) - as container stuck on the high seas for at least another 10 days!!! Gotta love it!

Take care all

I've had that feeling, too - when I can't wear things I really liked. But I wasn't upset enough to want the weight back

.

shykins · 07-28-2008, 06:44 AM

Kissa · 07-28-2008, 06:59 AM

Hot but lovely. Went on 12 mile cycle ride yesterday but still feel fat this morning. Tummy sitting on top of jeans is not a good look.

Poor Vicky, sorry you have to buy for us. We want to do a lot of nothing while we are there, and try to stay cool!

Gym class cancelled this morning, humph.

shykins · 07-28-2008, 07:13 AM

shykins · 07-28-2008, 07:26 AM

makes 2 of us kissa.. i seem to have lost my way over the last couple weeks and am paying the price,,, it has to stop AND SOON!!!!

Kissa · 07-28-2008, 08:13 AM

You and me both. We know how to do it, so what are we up to?

Why did I eat clean all day yesterday then when a cheese board came out eat not 1 but 5 Bath Olivers with the cheese? Madness.

Going to get another chicken breast now. I am craving food like mad, just got to make sure it is induction friendly.

shykins · 07-28-2008, 08:28 AM

CosmicMuffin · 07-28-2008, 08:36 AM

Hi...sorry I have been quite. I had a really rough week last week. I felt sorry for myself which is something I normally don't allow myself to do. But this week has been better and this past weekend was awesome. My Goat Farmer was down to see me. So.....that was a really pick me up.

I just wanted to pop in and say hello.

Kissa · 07-28-2008, 09:53 AM

Hi Cosmic, sorry you have been down, it must be in the air, as you can see shy and I have been getting grumpy too.

Shy, I go away a week today and I really want to stay on the wagon. Mint is being good so I know she and I will do well on Cyprus.

Let's try really hard!
