The spray oil in the silver bottle is free too and much better you can get at Ald1 and Nett0 for 99p

Lost another 2lb this week despite a huge chocolate binge on monday after a bad day (multipack of 20 tesco fun bars.....)


had a taster today and i made some turkey kebabs with this marinade based loosely on a recip from the one pot cooking book everybody really liked it (even our unadventurous oldies)

Yoghurt marinade


250ml fat free natural yoghurt
2 tablespoons of curry powder
Teaspoon of grated fresh ginger
The seeds from 10 cardamom pods (crushed in a pestle and mortar)
Half a teaspoon ground black pepper

• Mix all the ingredients together then use to marinade turkey or chicken for a few hours before grilling until cooked through.

Nice on turkey/chicken breasts or cubes made into kebabs

Thanks cleosmum. This is great news. I used to have this regularly for lunch as I could get it in Lidl. I just assumed that it would be a no go on SW. Its about 2 quid a can but does two meals.

Problem solved

Found them in Asda this evening so thought I would check the syn values for you. The Asda own ones arent listed so hope these above help!

From my experience, it's wonderful and works. Suspect it's not like that for everyone, but suits me really well.

How do you make the chips then, are these the syn free ones?
I've heard of them but don't know how to make them.

I can have egg and chips then!

Maris pipers are the best to use.

Peel and chop into chips. Either par-boil (not too much otherwise they fall apart) or nuke for 6 mins before putting onto a baking tray.
Either use 1/2 HEb's on olive oil (or syn it) or use frylight to spray all over and bung into oven. My oven's carp so it take a good hour on Gas9 to cook, but others have said it just takes 20mins.

Hey presto (if using frylight) syn free chips!!!!

I don't parboil them - if I'm pushed for time it's a pain in the bum.

I just peel and cut the spuds, spread on the baking tray, spray with frylight and grind a little sea salt on them, bung in the oven at about 190c for 45 minutes-ish or until they look and feel cooked. Depends on how thick/thin you want. Sometimes, they may need additional spray half way through depending on the potatoes (if they dry out a bit!)

Can anyone explain to me how body magic works? I've read the booklet and asked my consultant (who just showed me the sheet you fill in) and am still none the wiser Its never been mentioned at class so don't think anyone else is working on it. I could really do with boosting my weightloss and hopefully keep me motivated.

Do you get actual awards in class (like stickers/certificates)? Or is it just somethng you do for your own records? I don't understand how to work towards the bronze award - what do I have to do?

I've just been treated to a wiifit and I read on the sw website I can use that to go towards body magic awards but again not sure how. I went on it last night for 45 mins and did a combo of yoga, muscle exercises, balance and aerobic (inc 2 x 3min jogs) - how would that work? Also when I walk the school run it is about 20mins each way up and down a big hill - not sure how far it actually is but I have a pram, walking 2yo and 5yo so am limited to how fast I can actually walk.

Any help appreciated - thanks

If you have the blue Body Magic Book it is explained in there (page 15), but I admit, the explanation gets lost among the other stuff.

To work towards your bronze award (a sticker) you have to do 15 mins on 3 days of the week. Maintain this for 4 weeks.

For the silver award build that up till you're doing at least 15 mins on 6 days a week (or 30 mins on 3 days). Maintain this for 4 weeks.

For the gold award build up to 10 sessions of 15 mins (or 5 x 30 mins) and maintain for 8 weeks.

For the platinum you need to have made excercise an integral part of your lifestyle.

The awards are given to you when you tell your Consultant that you have maintained a specific standard for the requisite number of weeks. It's all on trust - no proof necessary.

I had my WI this morn (I usually do it in the eve, but didn't want my OH to be there to step on scales again!) & I lost a fabulous 3lb! I'm really chuffed because we went for a very boozy night out on saturday. I've done more green days this week with a few red & I'm still keeping up my jog/walking.

I can't remember who posted about the couscous breakfast, but I had it this morning with a vanilla muller & banana & it was yum!

Another tip for making the chips is to open your oven door a couple of times during cooking to let out the steam, this should make your chips crispier (according to my consultant when I used to go to class).

I've got 2 meals out this weekend so don't expect such a good result next week, just hope to stay the same.

An excellent 3lb clarabell, well done!!
