ooohhhh YES -pomegranites must be eaten on their own -cut in half and picked out with a pin nomnomnom....

I must be such a PIG because I only ate with a pin when I was a child - as an adult I buy 'em so I eat 'em the way I like - I peel back the skin and just nosh! *tut* messing about with a pin:D

having said that, I am a PIG, I put a pound on last week - how does that happen? I do think I am eating too much - lunch that I took into work today, I was feeling full halfway thru it but I ate on to the end. Must stop doing that, and drink more water.

Never thought about not eating the breadcrumb bit! Ah well, still within my syns. OH WILL be getting me those riding lessons if it kills me lol!!!!

Consultant31, does this mean my mushy pea curry made with 3 tins of mushy pease & 1 tin of baked beans with sweetener & onions has enough free veg without adding anymore to my plate except rice?

awww Jinnywren - only if one-third of the whole is onions! And that would include the rice iyswim - the 3 tins of peas, the tin of beans plus the rice, say that amounted to two bowls full of the curry/rice, then another bowl would have to be filled with chopped onions. Some recipes (I've just looked) use a tin of tomatoes as well and that would count towards your third.

*I hope consultant agrees, but I may be wrong*

I will let you off with eating your pomegranites that way :D
I think Im a sentimental old fart -so because eating it with a pin is the way my dad taught me to eat them ...i still do


Can't remember who asked (sorry) but for the tuna "pate" I :-

• drained a tin of tuna in water *awful stuff on its own* :rotfl:
• dropped in a bowl then added
• 2 tbs quark,
• 4 capers (don't know why 4 )
• and blitzed it with a stick blender
• then I mixed in 2 chopped spring onions, seasoning and a squirt of lemon juice
• then stuck it in the fridge to firm up

well here are my meals for today -don't worry I won't inflict piccies on you often
good ole brekkie nomnomnom

Tuna pate -still have the other half I made in the fridge

and the Gambas con Romesco (chilli tomato prawns) on stir fry.... It was unusual to start with but we liked it and hell did they have a kick -hubby requested them again

I finished today having used 1A+2Bs and 9 syns -still not the 15 it should be..but not too bad
well there are some good weight losses coming from the fish week on minimins -so pinkies crossed its contagious
Have a great night everyone

I shall have to try that fish week, Mrs M. I can get to three days of fish then I am bored with it. Gotta do something though! Your food photos are lovely, you do lay things out nicely. *note to self: lay food out nicely and eat it slowly*

PS re the pomegranates - I am sure I remember being able to eat them under the desk at school using the pin method!

I totally agree....theyre pretty rubbish for 1 syn :mad: I was only eating them for a change too as my stomach was soooo painful that week and yoghurt was about the easiest thing to eat. I think Id rather have suffered the pain of a rolo lol :rotfl:

Oh well if you lot hate them then that's more for me - I love the new york style. would happily give up 1 syn for them! yumyumyum!

I don't bother with the food diary sheets I just got a small note book. I draw lines to seperate into days then more lines for HEX, syns & free foods. I write everything down in my book and it keeps me on track. HTH

I do the same - got a little notebook that fits in my bag so I can't skip planning/diarising when i'm out

Hope these recipes might be of use to some of you:-

Hummus


Three tins of chickpeas
Juice and rind of two lemons
Salt
1 fat clove of garlic
Tub of very low fat fromage frais
Blend all together until smooth.

All these recipes keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, and would be equally nice on crispbread or as a filling for a jacket potato.

Ooh I think that's tomorrow's lunch with some ryvita and salad! YUM! thanks!

Wish I could get my willpower back - keep slipping at the mo

Yep thats what I thought too ....I thought to make it more interesting try adding mushroom and peppers to the mix ?

Hello, had a couple of so so days as we have had guests but I did manage to lose 1 pound, so not too bad.

We're off on holiday next week, staying in hotels so there will be a lot of eating out - I'll try to make good choices and not drink too much!

Today I am eating:

BF: shredded wheat and some fruit
L: pasta and HM tom sauce.
baked fish, potatoes and carrots.
