I like quorn mince, and when you make it with bolognese, to me its just the same, I go for texture rather than tase....... cause personally I dont like mince, and only eat it if its with a sauce....ie bolognese or chilli........because I love both of these.

Give me you veggie lasagne recipe please nick........ I love vegetarian lasagne, in fact I like a lot of vegetarian meals

You know I could probably be a vegetarian....... well maybe not because I do like bacon and chicken and fish....... just not a big red meat eater.

If you want something sweet have some sugar free jelly. The Hartley's pots you can buy are only 10 calories per pot whereas the not sugar free are 85 calories! I like the ones with fruit in them but can't find them with sugar free jelly so have got some tinned fruit and jelly to make my own little pots to take to work!

they do mince or chicken pieces which I personally would suggest, so if you gonna do a tomatoe sauce make sure it got a bit of flavour to it! So that it gets flavoured properly!!!

I wouldnt suggest the sausages or the bacon substitutes I dont particular like them much myself and I'm hardcore veggie!!!

Thats certainly a good idea Nick, thanks for that. When you say strong tasting sauces, is that just sauces that go with the meat? You know, like tartare sauce for fish etc etc

Have you considered subsituting some of your meat in your diet for qourne (only 3% fat), just an idea. If you do this make sure you use strong tasting sauces as for a meat eater you won't find it to have an flavour!!!

i am drinking gallons of water tonight! Need to step up on the exercise too though. If its the last thing I do, I will fit into that dress in two weeks.

I reckon if I were to lose half a stone it would be perfect.

I am not going to starve myself, just eat like a rabbit!

no, definitely not helpful at all you do it for yourself and not listen to what other people say - you need to be happy with yourself.

Just remember what your target is and no to go below it. I will find out if you do, you know!!

Thank you Sarah & everyone

Sarah, if I was a lovely petite 10 st 6 I was be soooo happy!! I did try the weight watchers one but when I stopped going to the meetings, due to work, children etc, I found I didnt stick to it as well.

I cant commit to the gym or ww etc as my hours at the moment wont let me, but I can do exercise at home. I will keep you posted!! xx

i have a confession, i went to about 4 ww meetings just so i got the gist and all the books and then stopped going and do it on my own instead i know what you mean about it being hard without meetings as i went off it for ages (prolly coz i went to boston US and ate anything i saw!! lol) but im terribly OCD about writing things down so it helps me

plus i bought a cross stitch the other day for a hobby and thats the best thing for my gob so far coz it keeps my hands busy an out of the cupboards!!

may give that one a go ST, thanks

Miss VN - thats a great idea about the tummy toner, is it as effective as the sit ups does anyone know?

I was told it off a footballer friend of mine and they have been told to do it rather than sit ups as its more effective?x
