Hi ladies

I have not posted for a while, been very busy. I have been reading bits here and there though

I'm finding it easy in the week when I have to go to work and I am in a routine. Its the weekend I struggle, too much trmptation about, especially when I go to OH's house, he is a total choc and biscuit o holic!

However, I have lost 10 and a half pounds since the end of November so something must be working?

I've started playing around on the online stuff today too :-)
Loving the syn calculator. I've been rooting through the fridge to see what syn values everything has!

Hi ladies - have just had a week that I want to forget about! (Eatingwise - the other bits of the week were ok:rotfl:)

Can't make WI tomorrow (work work work tomorrow), but that gives me a week to get back on track. SO tomorrow is a nice shiny fresh start. I REFUSE to do guilt;)

Hi, what was the recipe? I made curry last night and it was, well lacking something, not sure what so a good recipe would be fab!

IS THIS IT???
for a huge portion (would feed 4)

2 tins of chopped tomatoes (with garlic) or passata
1 tin mushy peas (2 if you want it to be really thick)
1 large onion
2 peppers
mushrooms
hot or medium curry powder (as much or as little as you want)

fry off the veg in a large / deep pan (we used a wok) in fry light.
add tomatoes / passata
keep stirring
when all cooked add mushy peas and cook for another 5 mins
stirr in curry powder (keep tasting until you get the right amount )
add salt and pepper

if you want in the meantime cook chicken / beef - add altogether and voila!

I've just been looking at the cous cous cake and the chickpea cake posted by consultant31 (i think) on a recipe thread. Has anyone made them, are they nice? I could fair go a bit of cake .

You could try these:-

Raspberry Pudding (Only 2 syns for the WHOLE LOT)


2 tubs Quark
1 sachet sugar free jelly, preferably raspberry
¼ pt boiling water
1 bag/tub frozen raspberries, defrosted (approx 400g)
2 tbsp Splenda

Put the Quark and splenda in a bowl. Make up the jelly with ¼ pt boiling water and add to the quark. Mix well using a stick blender if possible.
Fold in the raspberries with a metal spoon then put into serving bowls and chill until set.


Ginger Banoffee Pudding Serves 4 @ 5 syns per serving

6 ginger biscuits
2 large bananas
1 tbsp. lemon juice
4 tubs Muller Light toffee yoghurt
½ oz plain chocolate, grated

Place the ginger biscuits in a clean plastic bag. Seal and crush finely with a rolling pin. Peel and thinly slice the bananas, then toss in the lemon juice to prevent browning.
Layer the toffee yoghurt, sliced banana and crushed ginger biscuits alternatively in 4 serving glasses. Top each glass with grated chocolate and serve.


Quick Banana bread pudding


2 slices wholemeal bread (HEB)
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon Splenda
1 medium banana

Layer the bread into a small dish, putting sliced banana between the layers.
Pour the beaten egg over, pressing the bread gently down into the egg.
Microwave for 2 minutes.
To follow Food Optimising to the letter, you should count a syn value of 4 for the cooked banana, but since it is only one, I don't bother!

Apparently long threads slow the boards down and as ours has reached a massive 58 pages long, I thought it was time to start a new one.

Hopefully, this will be the year that your commitment to losing weight remains strong and, as we all know, there is no more generous slimming plan than Slimming World's food optimising. Where else could you have bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans for breakfast, jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn for lunch and fish, chips and mushy peas for tea all as free food, unlimited, and with no calories or points to count. (other plans even have you using precious points to eat fruit for goodness sake :eek:)

Here's the link to the recipe thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=1948340&postcount=3

Hope to see everyone here until they reach their own personal target

put all these up , so you don't have to go all the way back on this thread
