    Have you congratulated yourself today on how well you're doing? What gets praised, gets repeated.

    Oh my, lots of posts to catch up on (but having just read them all I can't remember who said what and now i'm all confused).

    Got my breadmaker on friday and have been experimenting with it (wholewheat loaves and pizza bases). I've probably gone well over the syns allowence as I didn't keep track of them (am so lazy) so i'll try harder this week and hope the scales are kind :o.

    Why do I always sabotage the diet over silly things? I just hope that I'll get to the healthy weight i'm aiming for a little bit later as opposed to not at all.

    Good luck this week all and cheer up those who are struggling! :)

    Welcome to Bedshaped, Miroslav and Dazzieboos - Apologies for missing you yesterday but I was "under the weather" ;) Too much :beer: :rolleyes:
    You all seem to have it under control - long may that continue. Bedshaped - I'm sure you will see it come off this week - are you eating enough by the way. I've found the weeks I eat less the weight doesnt shift but when I really fill up on the good things it moves quicker :confused:


    Feeling much better today - got my appetite back! Off to have some brekkie, Weigh in tonight :eek:

    Have a good day everyone!

    Good Luck to everyone this week.

    Cheers

    That's the ONLY thing that's stopping me from buying the Panasonic BM everyone's raving about. I have very little self-control where warm, fresh, crusty, divine-smelling (I'm drooling :o ) bread is concerned.
    Bread and chocolate are two things I have cut right out of my diet now as I'm not one of those people who can just have a bit. One piece leads to another, and another.......................:eek:
    I do hope the scales are kind to you, but fear you're going to have to limit the use of the BM :rotfl:
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Yes - I was worried too but am also determined!

    I've only made wholemeal bread so should be mostly covered by HEBs but the amount of pizza dough we made (even though the toppings were free) was alot for two people :o Will have to put the scales next to the bread bin to remind me to weigh every slice!

    Promise not to go on for too long about how delicious everything we make in the BM is :D

    Have you tried to mashed potato pizza base? It's free on Green and very easy to do, specially if you use Smash!
    For those who haven't tried it:- Make up the Smash using a little less water than normal. so the resultant mash is a bit thicker/stiffer than usual. Put into a large, flat oven dish (a swiss roll tin is good) and pat down so it's an even thickness all over. It should be quite thin, so it may make 2 bases, depending on the size of your tin.
    Put in a medium oven for around 30 mins, checking to see it doesn't burn, but becomes crispy.
    Spread with passata which has been reduced down to make it thicker or you could use tomato puree at ½ syn per level tablespoon. Top with anything you fancy. :T
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
