Ahhhh they look amazing, thanks for sharing. Defo going to try these soonReview haha:
They were pretty good, nice crispyness from the filo. The sausages were ok, however maybe a bit overcooked as there is no fat on them, I think if you did it with low fat pork sausages it might be better. I'm tempted to try again as I have 5% pork mince in the freezer. I had then with BBQ sauce and that was pretty good. We considered putting in some caramelised onions, but we were out lol. I'd say a solid 7/10.

had a big bowl of pasta and cheese and marscapone sauce for lunch and going to have one of those Sainsbury’s low cal pizzas for dinner. Going to leave it a week and weigh myself again as it’s really demotivating atm as think I’m due on soon. Hoping I find my motivation again soon!!I’ve been really diligent this week in sticking to my set calories and getting the exercise in and the scales say I’ve put on 3lb. Not going to lie I was in a proper mood about it, but I’m guessing (hoping) it’s hormonal water retention and I don’t need to reduce my calories further - I really don’t want to feel hungry all the time!I think it’s very easy to become obsessed with calories and what the scales say. I was feeling really crap when I had a couple of weeks where they barely moved as I’ve got a lot to lose. As soon as my period came the weight started falling off again. If I’m still hungry I’m going to eat. I think if you are mindful of what you eat the majority of the time the odd slip doesn’t hurt. Remind me of this when the scales stop moving again
Don’t let it get you down. If you’re eating with a calorie deficit it will start shifting. How are you logging your calories and do you eat your exercise calories? I find that I have to diligently log everything and I don’t worry if I go slightly over but I try to avoid eating too many exercise calories.
Thanks - I’ve been tracking through my fitness pal and I’ve been concentrating on not eating my exercise calories (I was finding I was gaining weight despite doing a lot of exercise - running, lifting etc - because I was then working out how many treats I could then have as a reward
). It’s just a bit demoralising.For the whole lot? Which pastry did you use is it a ready roll one?Review haha:

I haven't come across these before but will definitely try and track one down! Pizza is a large contributor to my potato shape
Ooooh which ones are these?
Yup, 3 heck sausages cut and half and rolled up with filo pastry, just one sheet, which was plenty. Yea just a ready made one: Filo
They are from their stonebaked range - instead of the dark boxes they’re in grey packaging and have a blue label on them saying they’re 500 calories or something. Really delicious! Definitely going to be eating them again.Ooooh which ones are these?
In other news we had this tonight - www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/turkey-thyme-leek-meatloaf/ can really recommend this and it was so quick and easy. Had it with crushed baby potatoes, a creme fraiche herb and mustard sauce and one of those steam in the bag veg. Yummy
- I’m happy with that! I still have 2st to get to my target weight, but I’m setting mini goals of 5lb a time to make it feel more achievable.
Sounds like you’re going about it the right/healthiest way!
Just to say both running and lifting make me ‘gain’ weight even if I’m sticking to a cal deficit because they make your muscles sore which causes water retention or something...I can’t remember exactly but it’s a legit thing though. Eventually it plops off. Don’t have any advice because tbh I avoid exercise that isn’t just walking for this reason but I know that’s a stupid thing to doThanks - I’ve been tracking through my fitness pal and I’ve been concentrating on not eating my exercise calories (I was finding I was gaining weight despite doing a lot of exercise - running, lifting etc - because I was then working out how many treats I could then have as a reward
