Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

Yep, I fry them. But usually in a pan sprayed with the non-fat cooking spray. Sometimes I use oil, but very little of it.

However, if I'm feeling particularly bad that day, I'll make them the 'old fashioned' way, like my son's grandma makes them... she dips the patties in flour and fries them in a good amount of oil. Adds more fat and calories, but they're oh so good because coating them with flour and then frying them in the oil gives the patties a nice, crunchy-brown coating. Although mine and the way I make them still taste good, they're rather boring compared to grandma's

Gotta love good old fashioned home cooking.

If tinned salmon is too expensive, you can also use tinned mackerel. The salmon I buy is kind of pricey because I buy it already skinned and boned.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I still eat the things I love (well, I love lots of foods, but I mean those 'sinful' favorites) it's just I eat them in moderation now instead of regularly. I got careless with my eating and the scale showed it. In fact I stayed off the scale for a couple of years (or more) because I didn't want to know how much I weighed. And when I would be weighed at the doc's office, I'd look away, I didn't want to see the numbers. But one day, whilst reading one of my health reports, I saw the numbers and it hit me like a brick.

I couldn't believe I was inching closer and closer to where I was about 10 years ago when I changed my eating habits and went from 16 stone to 10 stone. It took me 2 years to do it, but I did it. I held that weight for several years. Then my late 40's came along and I started caring less and less about what I looked like. I stopped going out to socialize, got careless with what and how much I was eating and it started coming back on again. And especially when I hit 50, that's when my body literally started falling apart. Menopause was setting in, my blood pressure went up, my cholesterol went up, my joints started aching and bursitis set into my hips and it was hard for me to move around and I cared less and less about how much weight I was gaining.

But now I realize, especially for health reasons, I've got to get some of this back off. I know I'll probably never see 10 stone again and I don't really plan to get down that low. I'd just like to lose enough to get out of the 'obese' category. I'm currently 14 stone and that's way too much.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I only have salad occasionally in the summer, otherwise it's Chicken and vegetables.

I have been good so far today, all I have had is one single pear, until I have my salad.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I have salad occasionally, but I'm not as crazy about it as I used to be. Probably because I ate so much salad when I was originally trying to lose weight that I burned myself out on them. Now, every time I try and eat salad, I can never finish the whole thing. Regardless of what I put on it, it gets real boring real fast.

Re: OFF slimming club---open to everyone.

I hate lettuce.

What do you all put on your plate when you have a salad?

I usually have mixed lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, couslaw, Moroccan cous cous, grated carrots, and either chicken or tin salmon.
