Slimming World support thread for 2010

carlamagee

well, i was right. it is now officially TOTM. and it is killing me. i feel bloated and sore and constantly hungry and craving bad food. My OH was sat eating an Aero last night (a chocolate bar that i dont even enjoy) and found mysef wanting to chomp his arm off to get to it! First time in 3 weeks on the plan that I have felt like this! Consultant had a few tips for me, so im gonna go back n re-read them and try to carry some out. anyone else with any tips are greatly recieved!!

i went yesterday to a butchers near me who are Slimming World certified and bought some sausages and beefburhers. My consultatnt talked to us about them at class, so they are legit. i enjoyed the sausages with my breakfast this morning! 2 pork&leek sausages = 1.5 syns! very worthwhile syns!

Hi all:j

I have a couple of questions please:

• does anyone have the recipe for the Homity pie you all keep talking about? They didn't have the maggo when I shopped yesterday:mad:
• does anyone know why the Syn value is so high for pittas? I know that maybe the bought ones are higher, but I make my own at home. All there is in the recipe is 1lb 2oz flour, salt, yeast, water & 1 teasp oil - & this makes 12 pittas which are cooked without any fat etc??

cant help with the pitta im afraid, but here is the homity pie recipe:

Serves 4. Ready in approx 50 mins.

12oz/340g potatoes, peeled & chopped
9oz/255g onions, chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
handful fresh prarley chopped
handful fresh tyme chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3fl oz/85ml vegetable stock
6oz/170g reduced fat chedder cheese, grated
Salt & pepper

1. Preheat oven to 220C/425 F/Gas 7. Spray medium-szi ovenproof dish with frylight.
2. Boil poratoes for 15-20 mins or until tender. Drain, return to pan and mash. Set aside until needed.
3.Spray large non-stick frying pan with Frylight and stir-fry the onions, leeks and peas over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until all veg have softened.
4. Ad the mash, garlic, parsley, thyme, eggs stock & half the cheese, season and stir to combine.

Hi all:j

Well done on some terric weight losses & all the great ideas, I find it really helps (though I did put ON 1lb this week). Lots of trips away & having to eat out is the culprit methinks (that & not sticking to the plan all the time at home too of course):D

I have a couple of questions please:

• does anyone have the recipe for the Homity pie you all keep talking about? They didn't have the maggo when I shopped yesterday:mad:
• does anyone know why the Syn value is so high for pittas? I know that maybe the bought ones are higher, but I make my own at home. All there is in the recipe is 1lb 2oz flour, salt, yeast, water & 1 teasp oil - & this makes 12 pittas which are cooked without any fat etc??

Any help with these q's gratefully received:)

So far today:

-B: your rice Marion with toffe ML & banana

- L: Roasted red pepper hummus (HM) with salad & beetroot (maybe one pitta????)or use syns & have 2??

- HM chilli with Quorn/pasta

syns....depends on pitta consumption above

Re the pitta thing,you can now have one asda wholemeal (55g i think) as an heb.Otherewise just add up the total syn value of the ingredients you use and then devide by the number of portions to get the individual syn value:D
