Can you tell me if any creme fraiche is free? or would fromage frais work in dauphinois potatoes mixed with stock and garlic and HE cheese?

sorry I may have meant fromage frais (fat free of course) - I get a bit confused with all those white fat free dairy things (quark, from frais, FF plain yog) and have actually stopped buying them cos I think they are all horrible, but that's just me. I'm sure your idea would work

Hi ladies,
Does/did anyone else have this issue and if so how do you get around it/beat it? i know that this is something i need to change in myself but i'm struggling with it.

Shala, I actually stopped going out for meals for about 3 months until I had my head (and taste buds) around SW. Now I have no problem scanning the menu for something SW-friendly without feeling hard done by. However, pizza is a different kettle of fish (as you might say) and perhaps a pasta with tomato sauce would have been a better option? You'll get there though, it's just that you have to get there AHEAD of trips to a restaurant

Well done all losers, feels great doesn't it?!?!?!?!? And hugs for the rest of you, I'm off in an hour for my WI and last week was half a pound off my (latest) target so fingers crossed. Good luck to everyone else that's a Tuesday Weigher.

The quorn sausages are tasty in a cassorole or dipped in dyno rod soup.

Creme Fraiche isn't free but the low fat ones are 1.5syns per tablespoon

Morning lads and lasses! Not quite sure why I'm in a good mood, perhaps cos the sun is shining after a few days of rain.

The sunshine makes a huge difference doesn't it, makes the world a whole happier place

Evening all

Today just flew by so I had no time to think bout food! I rushed home rather than go to gym as I was expecting a phonecall but typically no phonecall :mad: so I did my exercise DVD instead.

Green day for me:

B - oats (HEB), FF yog, strawberries
L - HM SF celery soup
D - pasta bake made with 2 x Pasta n Sauce, sweetcorn, kidney beans, peppers, onions, garlic, chilli, 2 x cheese (HEA and HEB), LF coleslaw (3.5syns), salad
Snacks - banana, jelly (0.5syns), LF creme fraiche (1.5syns)
Drinks - water, diet coke, coffe (skimmed milk = HEA), NAS squash, fizzy water
Exercise - 30 mins exercise DVD

Total syns = 5.5

If I get peckish later I'll have fruit as I want to save some syns for a meal out tomorrow for my friends birthday, going to Chiquitos so need to check the menu for veggie SW friendly options.

ooh I knew there was someone else I wanted to reply to!

Shala_moo - I know exactly what you mean, I get like that sometimes - I want to eat "nice" food. Thing is, if i'm cooking new recipes etc on SW then that becomes the nice food - and I don't want to have takeaways, pizza etc quite so much then. MrsM says this - that because she cooks really nice recipes and varies it a lot, she keeps that craving for "nice" (synful) food nicely at bay. If I could recognise it when I'm approaching that state a bit earlier, I would make an effort to try a new recipe or something.

HTH.

Right then everyone I don't usually cook for more than 1, but am thinking about cooking a meal for my parents, my landlord & his wife, and my housemate when I go back as a thank you. Any ideas as to what I can cook? Would quite like it to be a little bit special, but its also got to be manageable for moi, and something which most people will like (including my fussy meat & two veg no foreign muck dad). Thought about a SW roast but everyone thinks the one their own family does is best anyway.

Glad you've got your new fridge sorted, did you manage to salvage your food before the other packed up completely??

Yup, food was salvaged:D Fridge is getting plumbed in just now. House looks like a bomb has hit it though!

Ordered chinese;)

what about doing a nice cottage pie with side dishes of lovely sw roasties & veggies (surely even dad cant not like that)

and do the fruit roulade for pud but mix up some white choc options & ff greek yog to turn it into 'pretend cream' to serve it with - now that IS a pud to die for:p and hardly any syns for the creamy stuff when you portion it out.....:T

Thanks Dizzy, antonia, Skintslimmer, blackberry rum(and anyone i missed), very wise words. I think i'm just going to have to get a grip, at the end of the day i'm an adult and have to decide whether i want to be fat forever or do something about it. I can't blame my OH as he does slimming world too.. he just does better at it:rotfl:

Great loss QueenNMW :T

Right so far today i'm on track. i've only used 4 syns so i'm having a tortilla wrap with my tea and i will spend the evening making a bit of a plan for the next few days.

thank you again, you are all very kind and supportive and i for one appreciate it (you're all very funny too:D - i can't tell you the amount of times i've snorted in the office laughing!)

off to watch Biggest Loser..

Good luck to everyone weighing today x
