Hi all:j

Just popping in to report my SW 'home WI' - lost 3 1/4lb - which is the 1 1/4 lb I put on the week before (!) plus another 2lb so well pleased :j:j

Didn't stick to the plan 100% - but more often than not I did - & I'm sure the help on here makes a big difference so thanks all!!

BTW does anyone have the syns value for Cadburys Curly Wurly 26g please??

Am planning an EE day I think (!):

B: marions rice & ML

L: HM lentil & tom soup

roast chicken/veg

snacks will be ML & fruit/ syns will be gravy & TBA!

Morning all!
I'm feeling so positive today, went to Argos and got me scales, not bad for £15, gonna weigh myself in a bit cos I want to do it naked and I've got someone from the childrens centre coming round at 10am so dont want to be caught in the nud :rotfl:
Havent had chance to have brekkie yet, so gonna quickly have a yougurt.

I made some tuna pasta yesterday, a massive bowl of it, I used 2 tablespoons of salad cream and 1 table spoon of mayo, say it come to 4 syns for the sauces, does that mean 4 syns per portion or say 1 syn per portion of therr are 4 portions DS1 has already devoured half of it :rotfl:

Bargain - a free 2g!! :rotfl:

Just been to Asda & found WW dessert whip thingys (tiny sachets which whip up to Angel Delight style) - only 2 syns each has anyone tried them? Bought the strawberry & chocolate to try (after WI tomorrow as need to save my syns!)

Astons Mummy - it'll be 4 syns per the lot. If you used 16 syns in the sauce it'd be 4 syns per portion!

Green day I love a good mushroom risotto or canneloni stuffed with cottage cheese & spinach! Failing that it tends to be quorn curries/chillies/spag bol/lasagnes (or baked bean lasagne/curry). Lentil dahl with bombay potato's? veggie Jambalaya? Mushroom stroganoff?

mrsmortenharket

curries/chillis/bolognaise I can make.

Do you have a recipe for risotto/lasagne/bombay potatos/Jambalaya & stroganoff?

Many thanks!

Ok, so I had some of the pasta, there is easily another 4 portions left!
I'll count it as 1 syn per portion I have just to be on the safe side.
Although I reckon DS1 will want more when he gets on from school.

I am having salmon for tea, dont know wether to do it with rice or tatties,, hmm decisions decisions x
