It's my 1st weigh-in tonight.

Please tell me I am not the only one dreading my weigh-in.....

I have been helping out with the weighing in at my class for a few months now and people always seem to look terrified at their first one. People get to the front of the line and it is just that waiting part that is hard. Some seem to lose loads in the first week, other people lose a pound or two and then it kicks in a bit more the next week... I have heard some good advice which was to take your measurements and watch how they change and look at your weight loss consistently over a month or two. One night you may have had your dinner before going or had a big mug of tea before leaving the house, or have heavier clothes... So, I am sure it will be good but don't make it the be all and end all, how are you feeling in yourself as they say?

3 x apples

Is there any advice on how to make SW meals work for me but be adaptable and healthy to help DH gain weight? Such as what to do different in DHs chicken curry tonight so he doesn't lose any more.

I think if he has bigger portions and some extras like people say that would be good. For a curry I would be tempted to take out your portion and at the end stir in something calorific like coconut milk or cream or dessicated coconut or ground almonds. Lucky him!

Afternoon All,

We have a taster session next week as it will be 12 till xmas! Any suggestions for low syn food that can be made the night before and put in the fridge till needed?

Well done loosers & good luck to those still to weigh in x

I made some scotch eggs and they were delicious, if a little messy to make. We have had some people make quiches without the pastry too but the roulade was the best thing I made, really delish and everyone was impressed

Maman - yep, wine and sherry are the same syns if you cook with them as they are if you drink them...

Shame:p

Thanks for that MrsMc.

I'm full of questions - anyone know of a free (or very low syn) way of eating cooking apples? We have loads.

Bexstars - wht rice pud recipie did you use? sorry if you mentioned it, i currently have a 3yr old driving me round the bend so may have missed it.

Not having a good day today. I'm starving, my fault coz i didnt plan my lunch v well:o, i keep forgetting that you can only have 1 of each HE on EE days. Anyway i'm off to make tea in a min.

EE day -

B - bran flakes (heb) and milk (part hea, rest for cuppas) and nana
L - carrot and corriander soup and slice of bread (2syns)
T - eggs, bacon, mushrooms, beans, toms, sausage (3 syns)
S - kit kat (5.5syns), mini bag haribo (1.5syns?)

Can someone check the syn value for mini bags of haribo please? I've guesstimated based on what the book says. Bag is only around 10-15g.
Syns so far - 12

Nicky, when I look at what you have put you don't seem to have really taken advantage of the extra easiness of extra easy, so for lunch you could have had some couscous or some rice or some pasta in or with the soup to be more filling with fewer syns. And with dinner you could do some sort of potatoes to fill you up more.

Hey nicky

I have a 2 and a 4 year old driving me crackers today too! for the rice pudding I did a bit of an experiment to see if I could get away making it just using my days milk allowence, turned out really nice

I used 70g pudding rice, 250ml milk, 7fl oz water, 2tbsp sweetner, half tsp vanilla and a sprinkle of nugmeg. I boiled the milk, water, sweetner, vanilla and nutmeg then put it all in oven for 50 mins
