Well I'm off to Glastonbury on the 22nd of June, camping out for 6 days; has anyone got any ideas of some food I can take down with me?

Obviously I'm going to be stocking on up Alpen Light bars to take, and last year we found stalls selling milk were readily available so I shall be carting Weetabix down with me, but it's more ideas for meals to cook over the camping stove. I've already brought my normal Dolmio express bolognese (7 1/2 syns! Gulp!) but I'm in need of some other options for SW friendly meals (anything to keep me away from the burger vans )

Bluefire - these threads aren't SW specific, but you may get ideas you can tailor


Music festival food - Old style? (starts out with a thread for no cookery equipment, but other threads are merged with it )

Camping mealplans

caravan , camping and holiday cookery

Depends on how much you want to carry. Mushy pea curry could be whipped up but that involves tins.... I'll have a think!

Pasta in sauce? Savoury packet rice? Savoury pack couscous ? Those mugshot things (i think, never had them)

My staple at festivals is flapjacks homemade - easy , filling, full of good fats (packed with nuts and seeds and oats). Between that, and bread from supermarkets, i think my last one I managed not to buy any of the rubbish from the stalls! Plus i had legendary status, pulling out flapjacks right up to the last day. They obviously are against SW principles (syn wise) but sometimes you have to be practical too

Also - any ideas for picnic food may offer some help

When we go camping a must for me is a can or two of morrison's ratatoui (CAN'T SPELL SOZ) If you put a can with 400 mls of hot water with a stock cub in is a lush easy soup for 1 syn or great over pasta for 1 tin

Guys lost 1 1/2 so really pleased this week:j
catch up with you all later x x

Thanks so much for this recipe; I was at a loose end for lunch today so decided to make it & it's really quite lovely! Here's hoping I lose 3-5lb next week

I've just made it (half quantity in case I didn't like it).

IT'S FAB, like a really rich home made tomato soup. I don't know what those pickled onions do, but they do it well. Now fingers crossed that naughty pound will lose itself by next Tuesday.

edit: just read the recipe again - I did it in the wrong order, I blitzed the ingredients THEN I warmed it through (with some fresh basil and tiny cubes of Cathedral Low fat cheddar) - it was wonderful and probably easier to blend it cold than hot

Our consultant said last night that Tescos are selling Frozen Quorn Sausages for less than a pound. I'm sending hubby on his way home from work to have a look... I found a spicy bean and quorn sausage casserole recipe I'd like to try

They're BOGOF in Sainsburys at the mo too. I just got two bags for £1.89 :money:

I would take lots of pasta in sauce, some dried couscous and maybe some frozen Quorn sausages. Also some small tins of beans (Heinz ones have a ring pull so you don't need a tin opener).

I lost another 2.5lb tonight taking me to 19lb in 8 weeks. I am so chuffed :j. 10% and 1.5 stone awards here I come next week .

Also I won the raffle this week- a big bag of salad stuff.

I'm definitely gonna try that soup, although I'll do it with fresh carrots I think as that is all I have.

have my first weigh in tonight and just KNOW i will have a gain and im dreading it how embarrassing - has anyone else gained on there first weigh in and do you know why ?

i wasnt able to go last week so its a fortnight since i joined and was doing ok but went away for the weekend - the menu in the hotel was really poor for SW and i drank far too much - 2 days completely off plan and a third day food wise fine but too much wine
on my scales this has amounted to a 4lb gain

i lost 2 1/2 lbs !!!! :T

Hi Everyone,:hello:

Thought i'd join in if you'll have me.. i've read the whole thread and picked up some lovely recipes which i shall be trying at the weekend amd lots of inspiration.

I started SW last year in May (for the umpteenth time) and lost 2.5stone, got really fed up with it in Sept and since then have put 1.5stone back on - I don't find EE 'easy' at all, i find it far too tempting to stuff myself..:(

My partner has lost 4 stone in that time, but is now struggling because i'm no longer following the plan so I decided it was time to get myself together and lose the weight again, whilst helping him lose his final 2 stone.

Anyway enough of me rambling, well done to all the losers on here. You are all doing really well and I hope I can try and match some of your fab weight losses.

Moo x

Sorry I've not been on the thread recently. It's just over 4 weeks to our wedding:eek: and it's been madness recently!:rotfl:

Well done to all those who have lost and well done to all those who are struggling with the Plan for trying!:T

I managed to get to my Slimming World class tonight and lost 2 pounds!:D I'm over the moon and my new consultant (I've swapped classes) is really supportive and inspirational.:j

Welcome Moo to the thread! I lost 3 stone to start off with and then put 1.5 stone of it back on; but I re-joined Slimming World 18 months ago and have gone on to lose a further 4 stone 6.5 pounds. Well done for getting back on the Plan:T - you will get there and we are all right behind you!

Well done Ali too, such a good feeling, isn't it?

Welcome shala-moo. I've started doing some green days as well as EE. I guess it's a case of finding what works for you.
