I don't really use the MFP forum, but I logged onto the website yesterday rather than using the app and this topic caught my eye:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/s...-calories-each

Not sure what a 'normal' pancake would be calorie-wise and how it compares to this...probably can't be too much in it? But anyway, at least this recipe allows you to be aware of how much they are. And yes, I would think a dollop of Greek yoghurt and some berries would be a good treat...

Thanks Cofa Tree, I've put my ingredients etc on MFP and have allowed for it in my calories for today, its a good reminder not to snack on anything I shouldn't or else I won't be allowed them later! I'm also gonna get back on 30DS beforehand so I really earn those pancakes! I've had a shocking 5 day break - so wish me luck, I think I'm gonna die again

Good luck with the 30DS...

Note to self - try a recipe before posting the link...the pancakes weren't very nice . Too salty and more like scotch pancakes rather than traditional pancakes.

I ate too many pancakes. Oh dear
At least I hardly ate anything during the day so it won't be too bad, but I feel like such a piggy!

Ha, hope you enjoyed them though Leaves!

It had to happen - I've had my first no loss weigh in since starting the healthy eating at start of Jan. No real reason for it other than life intervening, but I'd gone over my calorie limit every day from Tues to Sun, not majorly except the Sun, but just not quite on track. I'd put a pound or two on, which I've now lost since Mon, but it was too little too late for today's weigh in and I'm still at what I was this time last week.

I know I haven't gained but just a bit disappointed in myself for letting it slip for a couple of days. Just more determined now to make sure I lose something this week...

Good Morning girlies, I made the mistake of buying a packet mix of pancake stuff for last night...and it was rubbish - the first 4 pancakes I attempted just failed completely so I managed to get 3 out of the whole packet - which I suppose was a blessing since I could only eat one!

30DS - I completed it, I survived it and more importantly I completed all the jumping jacks without having to substitute - that is the first time I've ever managed to complete all the sets without having to switch to jogging on the spot or something so I feel SO proud. It may be a mini victory - but it feels pretty huge to me!

afternoon all
just got back from gym n swim. tired but feel good about it too. i didnt get around to having pancakes yesterday so am gonna have one tonight. plan to have lemon curd inside and berries on top as a dessert. yummy.
Cofa Tree; dont beat yourself up about a gain this week, youve had things to do and its not like you just gave up and overate is it? now your back on track things will continue to move. life happens

Cofa: Don't feel too bad, life happens! I have to let myself go a little sometimes, otherwise I'd just be miserable all the time. As long as you don't give up, it's all good

Purplekitten: Go you! I suck at jumping exercises and always end up jogging, haha.

Lol: That sounds yummy, I've never thought about having lemon curd with them!

Anybody else have snow? I was considering taking up jogging for lent, instead of giving something up, but the weather is so yucky

lol - ooh that does sound yummy!

Leaves - Thanks! And it's literally just started snowing here (it snowed pretty heavy Sunday night but had been disappearing since) I hope it doesn't continue though - it's far too cold! I really like your idea of taking up jogging instead of giving something up for lent, I'm up for joining you if you fancy it! The weather sucks but we can conquer all! lol

Morning ladies, hope everyone is having a better day that me!

Valentines day is off to a rubbish start for me, argued with my fella last night, argued with him this morning, feeling like poo and just want to dive into a giant bar of chocolate!

The one and only thing stopping me right now is that I'm noticing (or I'm imagining) that my body is starting to change shape a little! My legs are getting more toned and most of my clothes are starting to feel a little loose (only a little but still) so while my scale isn't showing much change - I feel like I'm moving forward. So I'm not gonna let a stupid boy ruin this for me, I deserve it.

I hope my day improves though

Purple: Sorry you've had such a bad day! Why not take some time to focus on loving yourself and give yourself a pampering session? Always makes me feel better. Hope you guys make up soon!

Thanks Leaves, I am going to survive my day at work and then love myself by doing 30DS - I love myself so much I'm gonna lose extra weight this week! haha.

It's a bit stupid really, if we argue on other days it's not a big deal but somehow because it's valentines day it feels like it's the end of the world

My evening will be spent sweating it out (in the non fun sense) instead of slaving in the kitchen to cook his favourite dinner, if/when we make up we can have our own valentines day and enjoy a romantic dinner. I think if I cooked it tonight it might end up in his lap! I think skipping tonight is safer for everyone

I'm gonna practically live on here during work today, I need all of your support to keep me strong girlies!

Hope your evening has been better than your morning, purplekitten7...stay strong and take your anger out on the 30DS!

Thanks Cofa Tree, I upped the hand weights I was using...up to 2.5 kilos and boy did it kill me! I ache, but in (hopefully) a good way! I'll let you know if I can walk tomorrow!

Hope you all had a better evening than me, my day hasn't really improved much but for once I haven't turned to food for comfort so yay for me I guess. My scale hasn't moved yet this week so I'm feeling a bit down about that if I'm honest (I'm an obsessive daily weigher). Blah, I'm so impatient. This is where I always give up in the past, I have the initial whoosh and then it slows down and I get discouraged and just decide it's never gonna work so I might as well give up. I don't want that to happen this time, and I'm sure with you guys at my side I won't but it's still a constant worry. Part of me just expects me to carry on being a failure I guess I need to prove myself wrong.

Sorry, this is a really depressing post. Hopefully I'll be more chipper in the morning. Goodnight girlies x

Hey fellow UK chicks

Seems a few of you have had crappy days, hope tomorrow is better for you all!

I've been utterly rubbish at posting here lately.

Weightloss is going well though. I am now only 1lb away from a total loss of 6.5 stone/90lbs - I am hoping to see 133 in the morning. I can't believe it crazyyyyy.

Have a good weekend all xxx
