Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

Billee

Thats cool then. I'm happy with that.
And yes it was gorgeous while eating it. Not so much now though. I think all that fat was actually really gross.
I just hope the whole day gives my body a right good kick up the jacksey and get these lbs shifted :D

So how many calories does shovelling snow burn off? :rotfl:We don't just have a drive to do, no, we have one of those nice pavements with a large grassy verge, thereby tripling the length of drive/snow to shovel :eek: ... I'm the warmest I've been all week! :rotfl:

We've done the same....plus 3 of our neighbours' drives and part of the road where it was very deep between the tracks!! I don't think I'm going to worry about the little yorkie pud OH's mum gave me with my lunch!!!

found this on minimims for you hun x


For a 2 HEb pizza base

You are looking for Tesco Crusty Wholemeal Bread Mix.

You can use these quantities as ‘free’ on a red or a green day because they are the equivalent of 2 HEbs. Just stick to your green or red day rules when you add your toppings, eg no sweecorn on red days, no meat on green etc.

If you use this on an EE day, then count 1HEb and 6 syns.

Don’t forget to count your cheese as a HEa to ensure totally syn free!

Take 75g of your wholemeal bread mix, save approximately 5g for dusting and add approximately 60-70ml of water til you form a dough. Knead according to instructions. This, when cooked, will make a base of approximately 115g in weight, which is 2HEbs.

When the dough has risen/rested for the required time, flatten with a rolling pin or, as I do, use the base of your hand for a more rustic base, using your leftover dusting mix to ensure your base doesn’t stick to the breadboard or chopping board.

Put the base into your baking tray and then top with a thin layer of passata (I like to add paprika and oregano to mine). Sprinkle on a little bit of cheese, it’s up to you whether you use 1 or 2 servings of mozzarella, don’t forget 1 serving of mozzarella is 42g or you can have 8 of those low fat President’s Light mozzarella balls per HEa. If you just want regular mozzarella, Iceland do a very reasonable bag of pizza cheese for just £2. The ingredients list says that it is mozzarella so I have used 42g of it as a HEa until someone tells me different. I have also used the Tesco Healthy Living mozzarella ball, which is really nice too.

Add your free or superfree toppings, making sure they are all cooked first because foods such as mushrooms and bacon are very watery and you don’t want soggy pizza base.

The packet says to cook on two hundred and something but after trial and error I have found that cooking your pizza on 150-180 for 20-30 minutes (depending on size of pizza) gives you a crust with decent bite without being burnt.

If you have done this right, your pizza should fit comfortably inside the inner ring of a standard dinner plate.

I would say that just to be on the extra extra angelic side, make sure you do have a couple of syns left over from your day to makeup for any approximation in your mix quantities (eg if you make it too sloppy by mistake and need to add a little more mix to even out the texture)

The majority of people on this thread are completely with you on this Consultant and we won't let the few distract us from what we know works so I wouldn't worry about those few at all. Don't let whats said spoil a great thread, we love your support and expertise. You are :A and a BIG thank you for all you do for us i.e. all the sparkly new threads :T. I for one really appreciate you [do you feel the love :rotfl:].

Yeah man :rotfl:


Thank you TakeItEazy and Dizzy.....I know I can sound like an evangelist sometimes, but done properly SW plans work and I know how easy it is to slide gently off track by tweaking here and there until what your doing is only vaguely like food optimising and you begin to wonder why the weight has stopped coming off. Each to their own but I think any newbies ought to know the right way not a bunch of misinformation which may or may not work.

Have a fantastic holiday Dizzy, don't forget about us altogether
