Afternoon all

I have been MIA for a while as been on holiday. After 10 days in cornwall (pasties, cream teas, alcohol etc) I am quite pleased to report a 1.5lb gain. Not too bad at all :-) Will be back on the wagon as soon as I've been to the supermarket!

Well done to all the losers

Hola
I've had another good day today, but am going out on Friday night so think that my hard work this week might well be for nothing. I also had my first Graze box delivered today, I've only eaten one of the punnets but it was delicious. It was 80 calories worth of rice crackers and peanuts, no idea on the syns but will guess 5. I plan to eat one punnet a day for the rest of the week, which shouldn't take me over my syns.
Green as always here:
granola and yog (bother, I forgot about that. 6 syns)
wholemeal toast (b)
leftover pasta with 'free' sauce
fruit and yog for snacks
the graze punnet (5)
Linda Mccartney sausages, SWw chips and peas (4)
Which makes a full 15 syns. I haven't had that many in ages so won't worry, but will remember next time I have granola for breakfast cos syns early in the day is a bad idea for me!

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine!

Well a lb on for me this week - expected though after Frankie and Bennys last night and a party at school earlier in the week. I need to get back on track though and being at home with the kids all day isn't helping so I don't know how I'm going to survive the next 6 weeks!

I have been searching the SW website for recipes and lots I like have quark in, but I can't find it in shops - went to 2 tescos and an asda today near me (large stores near Manchester) but neither had any (nor did the staff know what it was!). Whilst I can see it online at supermarkets, if my local stores don't have it in stock generally I guess they won't deliver it.

Any tips where to find it (another chain store?)
Thanks

Hi, I got Quark from Sainsbury's a couple of days ago. It's in the cheese aisle and is 'virtually fat free soft cheese.' Tesco sell it, but they'd run out when I tried there. I didn't notice it at first in Sainsbury's because it's in a tub which is identical to the one used for their cottage cheese. It's in the Be Good to Yourself range.

I started at SW last week and had my first WI tonight - lost 4 and a half pounds. I made the Spaghetti Carbonara which is in the recipe booklet they give you when you join. Needed the Quark for that, and had also never heard of it. The recipe was lovely and I'm going to do it again.

That's superb, I did it for 3-4 days and lost 1lb (offset by what I ate on the other days )

Today:
B: fat free Greek yog (nom nom nom), 1oz cereal (B), melon & mango
L: courgette & watercress soup, sugar free jelly (1 syn), fat free yog
left over curry & rice, free

Snacks: grapes. More grapes. Even more grapes. Apple. Milk (A) for tea.
Syns: 2 Hifi bars

Take a little care with the grapes, Galleygirl; both grapes and bananas can slow your weight loss (or lead to an increase) if you eat too much. I don't know why - either because they are soooooo easy to eat so easy to overeat, or something to do with the sugars.

The Co-op sells it too. Personally I'm not keen on anything white and tasteless (quark, from frais, ff plain yog) but I'm just weird. I prefer a spicy tomato sauce to something pretending to be creamy. Also .... that carbonara thing - I do believe it's only in the UK that we put anything creamy into carbonara. The real italian dish is garlic, bacon, mushroom and eggs plus parmesan. And is DIVINE. Sorry, sounding preachy now, only because I'm yearning for a real carbonara

I've been grumpy today (does it show). we had a "bring picnic food" day at class. I got there and wished I hadn't dunno why. It wasn't too bad in the end though lots of the food seemed to incorporate lettuce - but lots didn't! I decided if I sts or gained this week I wouldn't go again, that's how grumpy I was. But I lost half a pound. 5.5 lb to go to my next and final target. It sounds such a little doesn't it?

Love to all.

Ooops must change my sig too, I did tht race for life 2 weeks ago! will do that tomorrow.

Thanks. TBH I ate so many let's just say em....... putting weight on is not going to be an option :rotfl:. Plums tomorrow . Melon Thurs if I can be *rsed leaving the office to go to Mr T's.

Off to Las Iguanas for dinner Thurs night. Just been looking at the menu :eek:. Looks like salsa to start with and nothing for the main course . Will have what I want I think as I don't really go a bundle on chips or tortillas so I'll just try to be careful. And no pudding. Possibly one cocktail , but I don't like the really sweet ones. Gulp.
