  • Hi everyone!

    Hope you're all having a good day. I was just wondering, I've been thinking about buying the new Slimming World hardback cookbook -
    World of Flavours.

    Has anybody got it or seen it, as there are no reviews for it yet on Amazon.

    Any feedback appreciated!

    Started Slimming World 1st January 2010.

    Hi all

    Well I finally got down town to weigh myself this morning and I am now 12st 5lb:(. I've put on 4lb over Christmas but anybody who has eaten as much Christmas cake as I have deserves to!

    So another restart on body op and a restart here and off we go again!!

    I was also wondering what the world of flavours book is like and the extra easy one - is there much new stuff in there?

    I love these pouches too and find them tastier than batchelors savoury rice (all free), so 2 ish syns isnt too bad, especially if you half it with someone.

    I've been eating the sainsburys 2 minute wholegrain rice which I can't help but think is healthier than the batchelors :) at least I do only ever have half a packet - couldn't manage a full one - so not as bad as it could be. Thanks for the info :)

    also just had my first ever mullerlight. Toffee flavour. Actually enjoyed it and it was pretty filling. I think I'll be eating more of these, esp as a late evening snack.

    This is what I do. Yogurts usually make me want to yak ( I just cant stomach the consistency/texture) but the smooth toffee ones are ok. I bought 10 yesterday at Tesco (5 for £1)!!

    I'm the same! I hate yogurts normally, especially ones with lumps.

    I'm ok with the vanilla and cranberry&raspberry muller light's, I don't like toffee so not tried that one!

    Which mugshot did you have Lisa? I usually love them but they're so expensive I can't justify buying them at the mo.

    Well! Done 20 mins on Cross trainer, 15 min Your Shape (Wii) Work-Out & 17 mins Wii Fit Yoga! This better be doing me some good! Going wedding dress shopping soon and sooo not looking forward to it :(

    I think they're minging, but they're quick and easy when time is tight. What I do is make 2 up in a bowl rather than a mug then after it's 5 minutes standing, I add some cracked black pepper, a sprinkling of sea salt and a dollop of Total 0% or fromage frais. Makes it creamy and a little more 'normal'.

    I sometimes put some sweetcorn in the chicken one or a few chopped peppers or something just to make it a little less cardboardy. Maybe try some other seasoning or herbs to make it a bit more palletable? I always keep some in the cupboard for emergencies but couldn't eat them on a regular basis!
  • I'm pleased with my first day back on plan (as posted earlier) I walked to and from work today too, 40min round trip :)

    Hmmm had a bit of a binge today:o as had the munchies probably due to time of month :rolleyes:
    Anyway, two very large potatoes, one large sweet potato, 3 turnips, 1 onion, chopped into large pieces. Some garlic cloves Frylight sprayed on top (about 5 squirts I think). Baked in oven for about 30 minutes.
    Also had several fat free yoghurts e.g. activia, mullerlight. Also several apples.
    Felt very full up and satisfied after :D

    What I would like to know, is this kind of bingeing allowed or is it abuse of free food? :confused:
    Gotta be better than bingeing on other types of food like chips etc :naughty:
