if you use skimmed milk and apple puree if you have any for part or possibly all of the oil they would be a bit more slimming. but no fun in that!!
I make all this lovely stuff, but dont generally eat much of it, hubby does that. he calls himself the official taste tester when i decide to start experimenting in the kitchen!:rotfl:

I love cooking, but the taste testing is the REALLY fun part - or maybe that's why my sig has a weight loss progress and yours doesn't - hmmm!!

loocyloo

its my last day of 'freedom' before DS goes back to school :j and i start work again! :eek:

feels like we have been up for hours, as DS & DD have been sleeping in this holiday, but this week i've been getting them up 'early' (7am) so that its not a shock tomorrow for school! i've got 2 loads of washing done, cooked a pasta sauce for tea, and started to cook my way through 8KG of apples i have been given! :T

anyone have a recipe for apple cake? i made one years ago and it was very yummy, but i can't find the recipe now!

also .. i bought alot of bananas as that is all DD & DS wanted to eat ... typically, i now have at least 6, ripe bananas that no one wants ... not even in smoothies or cake! i have frozen slices of them in the freezer ( delish ... eat frozen and they melt on the tongue a bit like chocolate!!! ) is there a cake or something that would 'disguise' the banana?

off out to the zoo now! :T

have a good day everyone.

I've found a bit of my geek :j I actually weighed up the packets of meat I sliced up yesterday SIZE=1]Thanks for the use of the electric slicer Mum![/SIZE & have salvaged 500g of the turkey thigh joint & 900g of gammon. Obviously there were the inevitable crumbs, gristlely bits+a wee bit of fat & skin from the gammon & obvious carver's perks

The turkey was £4:48 a kilo I think, & this piece of gammon £4:42 per kilo. Both were roasted in the oven Gas Mk6 for 2.5hrs, when the oven was turned off but I left the meat in there to carry on cooking. Both joints were wrapped seperately in a cheapie line of foil; took approx 30mins using an electric slicer; 7 small budget sandwich bags & two larger ones to freeze the packs.

In conclusion, we now have 1400g of pure meat to use for sarnies/ cold-meat-n-mash for an outlay of approx £10, equating to 71.4p per 100g...is that right Weezl?

more will power needed on my part I think! I have been really struggling with this BORING food replacement diet throughout the whole of August, if I could just get my finger out, get on with it and out the other side where food is just a normal issue, it would be SO much better.

goes away resolved to 'do better'

which meal replacement are you doing Leslie? I did lighter life last year for 6 months...never again...plus have put it all back on! Have concluded that I am not meant to be sylph like!!

I am supposed to be losing weight as well. GP stuck me on the little blue pills nearly 3 weeks ago and I have stopped taking as they made me feel awful. However I have managed to drop 7 pounds in the nearly 3 weeks without them!

I think I am going to go back on slimming world. I really need to lose weight and soon(ish) my health is really beginning to suffer and I do the wrong thing by ignoring it all and hoping it goes away.

hmmmm apologies for the above, think I am thinking outloud today, funny day with me today

*wanders off sorta lost and low*

I am doing the same one - Lighter Life. When I stick to it, it is very effective and I don't feel too hungry, and it's quick. Problem is I find it difficult to stick to, so feel VERY hungry all the time, which doesn't help me stick to it. Vicious circle

Shame you put back on, they always say it is the hardest part don't they - keeping it off. Losing it doesn't feel very flippin' easy right now. I'm not ready to give it up yet, but if I can't stick to it for much longer I will have to as it is such a waste of money if I don't

awww munchki, don't feel low. Haven't tried the little blue pills, don't much like the sound of what they do!

I have a friend who has been dong Weight Watchers for some considerable time now and has lost 6 and a half stone, and she was a really bad case before diet wise IFYKWIM. If you like slimming world and it works for you, then slimming with other people does help I think.

One of the things I like about LL is the help I get in working out why I turn to food when I don't need it, I think once I have cracked that, I will be alright. Not one big answer, lots and lots of little ones.
