**Happy New Slimming World Year**

shala_moo

Hi all,

Thought i'd have a catch up whilst i was tucking into my chicken salad, but there's loads and loads of pages!! i've skim read so a big well done to everyone who's lost, sts and put on - cos you're still here and still trying and that counts for a lot!!:T

I'm on extra easy today (possibly changing to red depending on if i have any flavoured couscous in me cupboard!)

B - yogurt and banana
L - 4 x ryvita (HEB) 2 x EL mad cow triangles (0.5 HEA) chicken and ham salad (lettuce, pineapple, beetroot, onion)
T - Pitta (6) lamb kebabs, mint yogurt sauce, couscous (possibly) and salad or roasted veg
S - crisps (4.5) satsumas, milk in one tea (0.5 HEA) fruit tea

Was it Sweet who had fish with couscous covering on the other day? i did this with chicken last night and it was lovely, i reconstituted the cous cous a bit though just so it was softish.. Thanks for the idea - i hate synning breadcrumbs!

TK Maxx usually have a great selection of trays. I got 2 Judge ones from there a few years ago and they are great. Can't rememebr how much they were but definitely less than a tenner.

Wootball

I must say, for chips and any other 'dry' roasting food I couldn't do without a Quickachips.

Well worth the price, great piece of kit.

I've got the same mesh tray as wootball & it's great so would second that recommendation - got mine from Home Bargains, similar price to the alibaba website.

You could also try using a re-usable Teflon non-stick cooking mat on your existing trays - they're brilliant, I actually cooked the roulade on it a while back, nothing sticks to it!! You can even put them in the dishwasher which is great if you're a lazy moo like me. Again I got mine from Home Bargains for about £2.

kelly , think your right about low blood pressure causing the dizziness , I am on pills from the hospital for this very problem.

I managed to burn my mouth when tasting the curry I made , my lips have blisters on them so it now hurts to eat , hey might loose weight after all :rotfl:.
