I'm scared its my first weigh in tonight... eeekkk....

I have hit the gym so hard for the first time in years so if i dont lose any weight I will be so upset as really tried my best.

Think I will have salad for lunch, something as light as possible ha.

Vicxen - often a lot of exercise will mean you don't show a loss - but don't worry as it's a good change for your body and you may find you've lost inches instead of lbs this week. Keep at it - it does work! I've lost 6 stone in total over the years with SW and got 5 now to do. :eek:

What "treats" do people use their syns for ?

:hello:Hi Jill

on a bad day? White wine x 3 142ml glasses 13.5 syns

Other days I have the odd digestive biscuit for 3.5, or a club/penguin for 5.5 plus a few points on things like very low fat mayo. I really do know how to live!


I got some Tofu today for the first time ever - mainly because it was half price in Morrisons. Need to think of something to do with it if anyone has some suggestions?

I second what Skint cat said. I have only lost 1lb in the last fortnight but I have done at least 30 mins a day exercise. The trousers I couldn't quite fasten at the start of the fortnight now fit me so I am pleased regardless. Tape measure is a far better indicator than the scales IMHO.

Hello:D

I started back on the SW plan this week, I've done it on and off for years :rolleyes: Hoping to lose a stone to start with and then see how I feel, I'm veggie so do Green days all the time.
I'm not going back to classes this time, my lovely consultant has retired through ill-health and I didn't exactly get on with her replacement

Does anyone know if the Quorn (pre-cooked) mini sausages are Free

I saw them in Sainsbugs the other day and they would be great for snack attacks but thought I'd better check first to see if any one knew??

All the quorn sausages I can see on the online syn list are syn free except the 2 flavours that contain some cheese and they are only half syn each :j

Must get some next time Im at the shops.:D

Gradually getting into the swing of what to get at the shops. Got some savoury rice the other day, easy peasy to microwave. Mullerlight yogourts. Extra eggs. As well as all sorts of veg and fruit.

A couple people on the previous page asked for the 3 bean chilli recipe. Its from the Oct 08 mag and is 75p per serving so very MSE. I love this recipe but adapt it slightly, instead of buying all those different tins of beans i buy 2 of the Asda Organic mixed beans in water. They are cheaper than all the others and are free as are in water. If the kids are having it i sometimes add 1/2 a tin of baked beans also, this makes it richer. So it ends up about 5 bean chilli lol but still tasty.

Free on EE and Green
Serves 4
Time to table 30 mins

1 onion
3 Garlic cloves
400g can Red Kidney beans
400g can Mixed Beans
200g can Chickpeas
A small handful of fresh coriander or 1Tbsp dried
Fry light
1-2 tsp Chilli powder ( i also add dried crushed chilli flakes for extra flavour)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 x 400g tin chopped toms
1 tsp artificial sweetener
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp very low-fat Fromage frais
A pinch of paprika

1.Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Drain and rinse the beans and chickpeas. Roughly chop the coriander.

2 Spray a large saucepan with frylight and place over a med heat. Add the onion and garlic, and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.

3. Add the chilli powder, cinnamon, cumin, toms and artificial sweetener. Bring to the boil. Season well, cover tightly and cook over a low heat for 10 mins.

4. Add the beans and chickpeas. Mix well. Return to the heat for a further 10 mins.

5. Serve in warm bowls. Spoon over a tablespoon of fromage frais, sprinkle with paprika and coriander.

serve with boiled rice or SW chips.
this is also great the next day.

I'm a bit worried too Vicxen, my 4th weigh in but have not had a good weekend, slimming wise. Friends came round and brought lots of lovely puddings and chocolates, so have treated myself rather. Oh well, will cross my fingers and hope for a tiny loss.
