Thanks for this Sian - these are great suggestions. Quick q - in the Tagine do you not add any liquid? I am just imagining coming home to burnt offerings.

Hi, in my experience you only need to add liquid if you are cooking JUST root vegetables. The slow cooker itself produces steam and that turns to liquid, it will all be too wet if you add extra. That's why, once everything is in the slow cooker, you do not lift the lid to peek I'd suggest getting from library or bookshop a slow cooker recipe book and the only difference to make it SW friendly is ignore any instructions about adding oil or fat Honest, it would take DAYS to burn anything. PS lasagne in slow cooker is also good, and takes approx 3.5 hours so not too slow.

PPS looking back at Sian's tagine recipe, it does look as if it might need a splash of passata or something, you're right.

Good afternoon all

Well done on the losses ladies :T

Redcoltraine -the syns in muller rice are gobsmacking aren't they :eek:
When I first started SW -I picked up some thinking that they would make a change -Im glad I only paid 63c for a 6 pack because when I synned them -they went straight in the bin . I have been known to pay 10syns for a scrummy yoghurt -but I won't for something that isn't absolutely gorgeous ...

Greent -thankyou I have just been notified by SW that I have got a month free :j-so Im now paid up until the 18th Feb ... who knows -I might even manage to hit target by then *pinkies crossed* :rotfl:and if not -well I will be 1 month closer


Well my red meal plan for today is:-

• 1 nectarine
• 4 plums
• 1 apple
• cottage pie (B) left over from last night :j
• activia creamy (2.5)
• melon
• omelette :-
• 2 eggs
• 1/4tsp oil (0.5)
• onions
• mushrooms
• peppers
• 42g low fat cheddar (A)
• big ole salad
• nectarine/plums
• 250ml semi (A)
• 1tsp camp (0.5)
• crunch corner (4)

So thats 2A, 1B and 7.5syns -so I need to use another B and possibly some more syns later....

Well, we got the shopping done yesterday so I should be pretty much set for the week *no doubt I will think of something I simply can't survive without* -push come to shove I can always take a detour to the supermarket on my way back from the gym next week -I did get my very important activa intensely creamy yogs -24 of them ... I can only get them from 2 places *that I don't normally shop in* so I needed to make sure I had enough to last until hubby gets back NEXT saturday
Right Im off - have a great day everyone

I was meant to be going out for dinner with friends to Toby Carvery tonight but it's been cancelled cos one of them is ill. I have no idea what to have for dinner now, plus I'm exhausted as I've driven miles in a minibus today My brain can't think what to make for tea!

Ok -so my dinner changed

I decided I wanted gammon with my omelette -only the Gammon steaks are huge and I knew that if I cooked a full on I would end up eating the other half cold later -so I knocked the omelette and salad on the head and had the gammon and then sauted plenty of onions, peppers and mushrooms and stirred in a big dollop of herby quark,salt n pepper -twas yummy -so my amended meal plan for today looks like:-

• 1 nectarine
• 4 plums
• 1 apple
• cottage pie (B) left over from last night :j
• activia creamy (2.5)
• apple
• plums
• gammon steak
• 1/4tsp oil (0.5)
• onions
• mushrooms
• peppers
• quark with herbs
• nectarine/plums
• 250ml semi (A)
• 1tsp camp (0.5)
• crunch corner (4)

So thats 1A, 1B and 7.5syns -so I need to use another A+B and possibly some more syns later....

I haven't posted since Sunday. I was really good until yesterday. At the end of my shift in work i sat in the staff room and had a cup of tea with a crunchie. I figured that would probably be all the syns i was going to have. Oh how wrong i was. I went home and got changed then went out for lunch with my boyfriend. I planned to have gammon with jacket potato and salad. Unfortunately there were no jackets so I caved and had chips. Then I'd like to say I'm ashamed to say, but I'm not ashamed, I had dessert. Caramel apple crumble and ice-cream. It was amazing. Later I had a wispa too. I went back to my house and chilled for a bit before heading out to my dance class. It was the first class since the end of July because they stopped for the summer. After 10-15 minutes I was boiling and could really tell I hadn't done any exercise for months. The class was fab though and I really enjoyed it (I usually do). !

Today I have been back on plan. I cooked a huge breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, oven cooked sliced potatoes (similar to sw chips), mushrooms and beans. It was lovely and I still don't feel the need to eat anything although I did have a fibre plus bar a little while ago as I needed something sweet.

If you are desperate there is the instant cupboard food of pasta with veg and chopped toms

I too had a change of plan: had to pop out this morning with only the fruit and yog to sustain me :eek:

I was starvers when I got home and had egg, bacon, beans and loads of mushrooms and brown roll HEB

Dinner is still veggie chilli rice, and taco shels though.

managed to get loads of cheap pineapple and strawbs ( for how much longer!) and butternut squash obv in season as its cheap everywhere. Also more beetroot and some leeks for a L&P soup - yum!

Hi, I have been MIA for a week but I did keep up the SW diet and I just had to come on to tell you that at weigh in today I had lost 3lbs!! So it really does work when it is done properly:D

Today I have had hardly any food though so I must start to write everything down again. I am on Bodyoptimise.

I bought some Mullerlight yoghurts as snacks for me and my active, thin sons pinched them!! I have decided not to buy them now and try to find something they don't like.


Dinner tonight is Tuna Supreme for the family so I am just trying to find a way to make it SW for me but nutritious enough for DH, DB and DSs x 3.
