I can confirm that the chocolate cake is indeed very yummy with 50g of Asda's Good for You vanilla ice cream (3 syns) and strawberries. Mmm...

Recovering Spendaholic - no idea if you can freeze it really, I'm no expert but I can't see why not? Personally the next time I make it my plan is use a brownie tray, cut it into 9 pieces and then I can munch away knowing each slice is just 1 syn.

Lynz,

Be careful with the Depro. I had 2 jabs and put on 1 stone in 6 weeks. I was hungry all the time and had to eat all the time. I went back to the docs to say I was not having it again and told her about the weight gain and she said 'that is because it gives you pregnancy hormones'. I was mortified but I did go on to lose the weight I'd put on.

Just to make you aware that this is why you put on weight, because it makes you hungry.

Thank you- I know. I have only been on it for 3 days and I woke up again craving craving craving.

I need to make a "loose start" by trying to eat as much protein as poss, I think breakky will be eggs in frylite, mushrooms and a tin of beans. Blinkin starving. The more protein I eat the less hungry Ill be ( she says)

Maybe starting this in earnest on Sunday but loosely following until then. There are jaffa cakes calling my name but IM going to resist any junk until 1.pm (she says)

:eek: scary scary!
