Yes I agree the tin tomatoes has got a lot of sugar in them, I only use them now and then.

Might just have a buttered tiger roll for supper.

I did not realise that tinned tomatoes contain sugarā€“not that I ever use them. As everyone says, just chop a few and cook, and before long you have a nice tomato sauce for anything you wantā€¦or blend into a tomato soup-thats my favourite. !

I use them sometimes for pots of soups, if the recipe calls for diced tomatoes and I donā€™t have any fresh. So I keep a few tins of them around just in case. I donā€™t care about sugar content. When it comes to tinned foods, itā€™s pretty much default to add a bunch of sugar and/or salt, just to preserve the food and make it taste okay. Pretty much anything from a can is going to be high in sugar and especially sodium.

Afternoon Lassiesā€¦as Iā€™ve said before Iā€™m quite happy with My weight/health as it is now,but Iā€™m getting a bit fed up with being ā€˜goodā€™ as I know (being Me) it will all pile on again come the Winter :shock:.
So Iā€™m contemplating for next Year when I go into My 74th Year,on getting a Man to do My gardening,a window cleaner,and a Mrs overall to do the cleaning/houseworkā€¦then I can sit around eating scones/cakes/biscuits with My tea,and watch teleā€™ all day while munching on boxes of chocolatesā€¦whatcha fink? :cool: :lol: :wink:

Sounds good to me!

I agree !!!

I went to my doctors today and asked aboiut vouchers for Slimming world-she had no idea what i was talking about, ansd had never heard of that being done !!!

I started my Slimming World diet on Wednesday and today l weighed myself and l have lost 1.5 lbs.
I have to say on the first day. I almost cried with the frustration of what l could and shouldnā€™t eat and having to record every morsel that passed my lips, in a diary!

Well done----but it gets easierā€“once you are accustomed to what you can and cant haveā€”there are such a variety of free foods, it makes it much simoler.

I donā€™t normally weigh myself until Wednesday, but something compelled me to get on the scale this morning and Iā€™m glad I did. Three more pounds down, for a total of 9 so far. Half stone, 2 pounds.

I still donā€™t feel any different, though, I still feel fat. But itā€™s nice to see the scale moving in the right direction.

Today was:

Breakfast: Porridge.
Dinner: Homemade Veg. Curry & some Pasta.
Supper: Probably be Cottage cheese on Crispbread.

Iā€™m having lobster ravioli and peas & mushrooms for lunch. Total calories, 350. I didnā€™t have any breakfast. Iā€™m keeping my calories low during the day because tonight Iā€™m having pizza.

I didnā€™t know you could get Lobster Ravioli!! Sounds very nice though.

Got it at the seafood department in the refrigerated section. It wasnā€™t bad. Iā€™ve had better, but it worked in a pinch and tasted okay for packaged product. It claimed ā€œfresh, never frozenā€ and it wasnā€™t high in saturated fat, so I said what the heck.

Today:

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast.
Dinner: Egg, 2 Bacon, Toms. Mushrooms and few bake beans.
Supper: Maybe soup.

Lobster ravioliā€”sounds delicious !!

I had crispbread and cottage cheese and pineapple
crispbreads again with hoummouus at lunch time
pasta with home made tomato sauce.

Not good todayā€“not enough veg.

Not been feeling too good todayā€“bad headache for 2nd day, plus raging toothacheā€“and my friend who takes me is on holiday for a week, plus i am comitted all week ā€”apart from tomorrowā€“bank holiday !!

Today is:

Breakfast: Porridge.
Dinner: Pork Chop in spices, 2 r. potatoes, swede & greens.
Supper: Sandwich.

I put a few beans in my soup yesterday hā€“hope that helped.

breakfastā€“crispbread, cottsage cheese pineapple
lunchā€”crab sticks
tonight h/m tomato soup, but with more veg and pasta in.

still not feeling goodā€“toothache pretty bad. Although im not eating anything i should not, i do not think im eating enoughā€“but really dont feel like it right now.

I went through that last week, Mariana, just didnā€™t feel like eating much. Was dealing with nausea.

Its crazy how not eating enough can be worse for youā€¦
