Aghh I put on half a pound!!! So thats 1 and a half in a the last two weeks!! And this week I am at a wedding so not looking good already!!

I am gutted, as feel lighter, and have been really good, I have not gone over my sins at all, been on my running machine like a little fat hampster too!!!

........all I can think it is is that I have eaten out three times...had a carvery and also jacket pot and tuna (2 x), so maybe extra hidden butter in veg, and more mayo than I thought...........so packed lunches for me all week this week.

ps..I just had my hair cut tonight so maybe lost a pound already..fingers crossed!!

Well, at my first weigh in this evening I lost 1 1/2 lbs. I'm okay with that. If I could aim to lose a pound a week that'd be great. We had a few SW goodies to taste at group, there was one which was a Scan Bran chocolate cake, made in the microwave... it was DELISH!!! I didn't get the chance to ask for the recipe, so if anyone knows it I'd be very grateful ;-)

If you have been running a fair bit, you may have turned some fat to muscle which weighs more. I have weeks where I know I've changed shape but my weight loss has been comparitively small. It is usually the weeks where I have done a lot of exercise.

Also on a side note- I ask the carver to do me a portion of veg freshly steamed with no butter! They were actually the ones who told me I could do it as I was asking what has butter in etc (I said I had an allergy but actually I'm vegan, usually goes down a bit better IMO.)

I can't taste any difference esp once the gravy is on

Thanks peachy, you're so good at keeping us all motivated!!

Well today, after trying it at the ruby party last night, i made a lemon cous cous cake! And im very impressed, nice texture & taste, just had a wedge with a cuppa, very happy!

There are lots of different versions on the internet, i just used cooked couscous, 4oz, 2 eggs, sweetner, lemon juice & i wanted to use lemon curd but aldi didnt have any & i didnt have time to pop to asda so i improvised & used lemon marmalade! Mix it all up, pop it in a microwavable bowl & i did it for about 8 mins.

Yummy & about 4 syns for the whole thing! nom nom nom!

Using couscous as a flour substitute (as in making a cake) constitutes misuse of free food, sorry

You have to count the couscous as 5 syns per 28gms. The marmalade will be ½ syn for 1 level teaspoon too.

It's ok to have this occasionally but the problems begin when, thinking it's almost free, you start to eat a whole one daily.

Hope this is what you want:-

Break scan bran into small pieces then sprinkle on hot water. Leave a few minutes then break up with a fork, until scan bran resembles breadcrumbs (use extra hot water as necessary). Stir in the cocoa powder, syrup and sweetener. Mix in the beaten egg and stir well.
Line a loaf tin with foil and spray with Frylight. Bake for 25-30 minutes in a medium oven (190c).
