Slimming World - Extra Easy weight loss!!

Glad I'm not the only one up at this time of the morning. Had an awful night - just ate for the sake of it, must have put away @ 35 extra syns.:eek: But need to put it behind me (well, that's where a lot of my weight is lingering now:rotfl:) and get to the shops for loads of lovely fruit and quiche ingredients - and extra time on the wii !

Hope you all have a good weekend - I love reading people's daily meals, even though I don't post mine (think they're probably a bit boring so not really worth telling you all about) but I get loads of inspiration from here.

Hmm I'm confused about whether I'm losing weight or not! After putting on a pound at WI on Tuesday lunchtime, by this Friday I could get into the trousers that I couldn't get into a week ago (so before I put the pound on IYSWIM!) . So maybe my gain was just post * week and was just fluid retention.

Consultant31 (or others), how long would you expect to hold fluid etc post * week, I finished 3 or 4 days before WI and thought I'd be clear but I wonder if that isn't the case. I haven't weighed myself for years so I don't have much of a clue!

I'm going to drag myself out of bed in a minute and walk the dog in an effort to jump start my metabolism for the morning!

Morning all

It looks like its going to be a glorious day here -so we will be off for a walk around the lake a little later..

Morning, that sounds lovely going for a walk around the lake, do you live right next to one?. It sounds lovely where you are.
Im in the country but the roads are not the best for walking on, so my walks consist of going to the shops, or going in the car to get somewhere to go for a walk.

Morning everyone,

We're already half-way though the day here so all looking good. The DC have been to two parties this weekend but have stayed away from the cake

Nic2075, we're not far from Qatar. Heard lots of mixed reviews about the place but some seem to like it there. I know quite a few people who've moved on from this posting (UAE) to Doha. School places are like gold dust there though, so make sure that that is included in his package (i.e. guaranteed entry plus school fees, which are very :eek:).

WI on Monday so am carefully planning the next few days. Well done on for all the losers :T:T:T:T

Mushy pea curry
3 cans of mushy peas
1 can of baked beans
Onions and mushrooms (as many as you like)
1 tablespoon of sweetener
Curry powder to taste
Fry light

Fry the onions and mushrooms in Frylight then add all the rest of the ingredients. Leave to simmer for 20-30 mins. If you find the mixture too thick, add water to your prefered consistency.
Use with meat, fish or vegetables and serve with rice. Also makes a nice filling for jacket potatoes if you have some left.

PS: What's 'scouse' please.....sounds interesting

Thanks for this - I will give it a go as I love mushy peas and I also love curry! My scouse is my version of the traditional Liverpool dish - I have to say my version because people get very precious about what is "proper" traditional scouse so here's my version:

extra lean stewing beef (or lamb)
leeks, onions, carrots, celery, swede (and potatoes but you add them later)
beef (or lamb) stock cubes
thyme
salt and pepper.

Basically you just stew the meat with the chopped veg, stock cubes (I use three for 1kg of meat) and thyme for about 2 hours and then you check the seasoning and add chopped potatoes and cook for another hour or so. You do it on the top of the stove so that the liquid boils down and you are left with a stew which is not too watery and into which the potatoes have "fallen" and thickened it. I have it with red cabbage (the pickled kind). I never usually do this but because I want to be as good as poss this week I stewed the meat and veg (not potatoes) last night and have left it in the fridge overnight and will skim any fat off before adding the spuds and cooking later. I reckon that it is free on EE - am I right?

It is a lovely day here today too! Haven't had anything to eat yet because I was up too late for breakfast and too early for lunch!
