I have a problem with Pasta and Sauce in that some bits of the pasta remain hard and I really don't like that - I cook it as per instructions - anyone else find this?

I am off to WI tonight - have been doing SW since Sept and lurk rather than post here but always find some good tips and motivation - and it is good for a laugh too! Not sure how I have done this week - so far have lost 17lbs so another one would be good. Let you know.

Ive had that before, but now I add a wee bit extra water, cook it on the hob on a lower heat and stir it loads, its usually pretty good.

Been feeling down since WI on Tue. im not sure why, but ive just not felt like following the plan this week. I was bad during the day on Tue, Wed I ate out for lunch then had a kebab at night :eek:, today ive eaten porridge, 2 slices of bread, 3 oatcakes loads of cheese and sweet chilli sauce, about 5 chocolate ecairs, 2 gerlain sea shell chocs . im about to have a very SW salmon salad but i plan on drinking red wine. I dont think ill stop at 1 or 2 glasses the way i feel. Im heading to Dundee to see my bf so will probably have more wine. I plan on making a SW stew in my new slow cooker to take with me for lunches.
I really dont know whats happened this week. I even bought a new pair of jeans on Monday a size 12!!. its as if im scared to get to target IYKWIM. I feel really carp now.

Hi:hello: nic , all is not lost , and all the hard work yov'ue done will has already payed off and will in the future , just stay focused , hang the new jeans outside your wardrope so its the first thing you see in the morning and just think , i'm gonna need a new pair soon because there not even gonna fit me :j :j soon .
We all do it think iv'e got away with it last week i'll be alright next and then were not :rolleyes2 because it dose catch up with you , just like when you have kept to the diet 100% and don't lose the next week it catches up with you .

So all is not lost hun , one week is not gonna blow it for you , your mind set will , so please stay focused , get back on track and remember how well , you have done .

A LITTLE TIP I USED TO DO IS GET A CARRY AND PUT IN THE WEIGHT YOU'VE LOST IN IT AND EVERYWEEK ADD TO IT , THEN NEXT TIME YOU FEEL REALLY DOWN OR THINK F---K IT , GO AND PICK THE BAG UP , peachy xxx

A guy I used to work with used to put the weight he lost in a rucksack and carry it to work and back every day. As he reached his target he was carrying about 10 Stone into work every day!!!!!!!:eek:

Hi all

I make pasta bakes with pasta and sauces.....I make it is a pan like instructed but mix in some cherry tomatoes, spring onions and if you are EE you can put chicken or bacon in. I then place it in a ovenproof dish and put some cheese on top from my HEA, reduced fat cheddar or mozarelle, bung it in the oven to brown off it is lovely and makes a bit of a difference from the normal pasta sauce.

You really should try it..
