Sharing my weekly goals, what are yours if any.

Cilantro is an herb used in Mexican cooking--it looks like parsley, but has a very pungent odor.  You can probably find it dried in the spice section of your supermarket.

The turkey is a much milder taste than beef, but is better for us because it has less fat in the meat.

Good luck!

Any ideas for variety gratefully received.  I'm waiting for my seeds to sprout so that I can have more variety than chickpeas and mung beans.  Linseeds are to aid transit!

which ryvita do you have, and have you seen the multi seeded ryvita thins - they have  loads of linseed on them and are bloomin' delish

Think I'm gonna do your fri and sun menus - ymmmmm

I'm a Ryvita *****!  Eat them all, TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!  The thins are really great but give me lots of wind, as if I needed more... 

Good idea!  My old workplace used to have a motto posted:  "Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail" and that really seems to be a good thing to remember for us.

Have fun.  And yes, post the menu so we can all see it!  I'd be interested in seeing how the folks in the UK do their meals.

Gosh, you RNYers! How incredible to write that you lost 7lbs this week and "only" 2 last week! We bandsters don't aspire to those levels!!

LOL, yes in a past life - and a future life for that matter it really is quite a ludicrous statement, and one that I would've usually offered a slap for. I certainly never thought I'd be the one sayingn it!!!

Well folks I did well, not 100% but I'm marking it up as a victory. On Monday I had 3 mouthfuls of crumble topping, but other than that not a single thing passed my lips that wasn't my dinner. I'm really pleased with myself, and I think it'll be goal again for this week. As the week drew on it became easier so I'll see if I can't start to break this habit longer term.
