Time to get fruity!



Ola amigos.. firstly apologies for the delay in posting... another manuc working week .. but I've seen the losses so far and will update the board by this afternoon for sure! and WOW the losses are FAB!!! and yes its a good week in Camp Doll.. 1. I'm down 2.5 lbs! YAY! I hate being stuck in a rut... 2. My local rugby team who I follow and love are in the Heineken Cup final  and 3. YES.. I got a ticket! watch out London.. Doll is incoming!!! Suffice to say I think the scales may already be groaning for next week!


So.. how are you all? How did Operation Beautiful go? Not as easy as it sounds really is it? Still we gotta love us, otherwise no one else will! A positive word to yourself every now and then will do you good, so try to keep it up..and who's remembering the water... eek!

This week... its about getting fruity! Try a new fruit this week.. and for the die hards.. have a piece of fruit with every meal... banana with your porridge, a snack mid-morning... grapes at lunch... fruit salad for dinner, set some in jelly (delish... but remember pineapple doesn't work!) ... and smoothies.. you can add tonnes of fruit in there with a yoghurt, some ice and a dash of juice or milk... and with it being summer ... all the berries are about to come into their own! Strawberries ahead!


If there's something you've never tried or tried as a kid and hated it... then risk it this week and indulge! Fruit is free for those of us on ProPoints... and its a great way to stave off hunger... an its SO good for us... plus the world is a smaller place now.. you can indulge in Kiwis, mangos, starfruit, lychees, even go for tinned fruit although make sure it's in its own juice NOT syrup... and go a little crazy.... you might find a snack you love and totally forgot about...


Fingers and toes crossed for Leinster this Saturday... and that loud girl screaming on the telly box... that will be me!!!

weights posted below shortly ... seriously people you are AMAZING!!!  Doll xxx

  3. I was not very successful with Operation Beautiful, which resulted in being up half a pound. It goes to show how important it is to be good to yourself! Now I make a point of visiting the Operation Beautiful website daily to take inspiration from the quotes!

    I made a delicious 3 propoint fruit smoothie which tasted so indulgent! I love fruit!

    1. I've been living on smoothies this week! I'm sure my local grocer thinks I have some sort of scurvey or something! LOL ... well done.. and stick with the operation beautiful... I found it easier to start with more positive ones like.. I'm stronger than I realise... I'm kind... before moving onto the 'I'm a super model' type ones! LOL x

    1. Absolutely measure!!! Some of the followers on twitter have lost inches but not changed weight!!! Check your portion size as well... I can be very generous when I'm hungry! Still lighter and closer to goal! xxx

    1. 7 course tasting menu.. I'm drooling just typing that! was is fun? Silly question? STS is awesome.. I got some star fruit this week... things got very fancy in my house! LOL xxx

    2. Was amazing, though tbh I dont think the food was my problem - all pretty healthy and tiny portions (or never would have got through all 7) But the amount of wine I had during and after the meal was prob my biggest issue lol!! Star fruit - that one is def going on my list of things to try xx

    3. sounds yum! Alcohol was my demon this weekend too.. rugby and boys and cider do not a skinny doll make! Still delighted I was down 1! Must have been all the shouting! Def try the star fruit... I thought it was yum although a bit of a luxury buying them here... boo! x
