    We'll all be chipolatas by March.

    Or those tiny spicy chorizos. That'd be better.

    Maybe there should be a third, underground team of latecomers, trying to usurp the prestige of the kosher teams.

    That's just mean Barley!!! Yummy fish and chips!!!

    Had a good first day. Not wanting to let down the sausages prevented me from tucking into a mountain of hot toast with butter when I got home from a concert last night. I'm all about the soups and the slow cooker. I have a homemade veg soup for lunch and a beef casserole with pearl barley for supper. I also cooked a turkey breast to slice for sandwiches.

    I think this whole team thing will work well for me image

    Barley, I'm 202lbs, my estimate was out, couldn't find any scales on hols and really didn't think I'd be that heavy! image

    Can I still play? image

    No .. feck off lardy

    Porridge for brekkie ...  should tide me over until I can find something decent for a snack

    I may have to break the habit of a lifetime and see what the canteen has to offer
  • Options

    If it's anything like our canteen - chips!  Or some unidentifiable stodge.....
    Got to love the NHS's idea of promoting healthy eating!

    OK - so yesterday's lunch was a huge slice of choc cake, BUT in my defence it was part way through my first (road) bike ride of 2011.... and by the time we got home I thought it's nearly dinner, so just whizzed some skimmed milk/banana in the blender to last me till then.  Had all my 5 a day in a veggie curry image

    I also gave away a pint of my finest.... do you think that'll help?

    Go Sausages!

  • Options

    Seren, i'd planned to make some carrot soup tonight!  Great minds think alike image

    Yersina, i'm glad you mentioned chorizo, as I need to buy some for a prawn-rice thingy I need to make image  I LOVE chorizo. Not the healthiest of foods, but everything in moderation I guess image

    I had crumpets for brekkie, and i've got my lunch sorted, so i've got 9 points left for dinner, which is an improvement on yesterday.... Turbo sesh tonight, so that should burn the calories....

     Camembecky, how many pints do you think we could all safely donate in order to kick start this weightloss?! image

    Hmmm thats going to throw out the stats a bit, how can you have been 16lb out in your estimate?

    Anyway, no doubt Schmunkee will be along at some point to update Team Sausages start weight image

    Blood letting, now thats a good idea image

    We just need a couple of vampires to get us started, and the weight will start dropping off!

    Chorizo is like parmesan - maybe not healthy if you look at nutrition per gram, but you only need a tiny quantity to give masses of flavour, so it works in a diet.

    Making a slow-cooked rabbit stew today - might bung some chorizo in that. Yep, I'm a bunny boiler.

    The starting weights dont really matter if its down to a %age of loss at the end?
  • Options
    It only makes a small difference to the starting averages - pushes the bangers to  177lb, compared to the doughnuts' 176.3lb.
  • Options
    I think this would be much more fun if one side weer only allowed to eat sossidges and the other side only allowed to eat doughnuts   image

    Bet Aunty Gok would love to get his hands on a pair of 177lb bangersimage

    I was just about to say the same thing. So it's a bliddy good job I was the one that sorted the teams, eh image
  • Options
    Hope the imagery works out correct - so if all goes to plan, I should emerge long and thin as against round and squishyimage 
  • Options

    On behalf of Team Sausage I would like to welcome Foggy and Klepto to the winners enclosure image

  • Options
    Thankyou for your kind words, meldy, I'm starting to think you fancy me image
    I don't really know how I was so far out (it must be the scales) image I never weigh myself and just didn't think I'd be that heavy. I've been in Tenerife and couldn't find any scales so just guessed thinking I would be between 13-13 1/2 stone. I certainly don't feel that heavy image
    but I'll be good to have on a team as I've got so much to lose and as has been said it's the % lost that counts.
    For now I'm blaming the scales, they're very old image but I will work my knackers to make it up image

    Thankyou shmunkee, sorry to be a pain in the arse image
