Re: Lose Weight 4

littleangel

Hello lovelies!

Feeling surprisingly positive given that I've only managed to lose 3lb in a month. I think it's that I'm eating healthier food so that I'm actually getting all those fantastic vitamins and minerals that I was missing out on by snacking on cream cakes before a pasta dinner with seconds (and sometimes thirds!!!). It's amazing how a huge pile of vegetables fill you up in a way that chocolate doesn't... Though Milky Ways have become my treat of choice - just as chocolately as a Mars Bar but with 1/3 of the calories!

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling happy...

To anyone who would find this useful

The Slimming World password is dragon

Elona - this has been so useful, thankyou

If it doesn't get you in to any trouble would you able to let us have the password each week please??
I don't feel too guilty asking for this as I use to do this for others when I was a member before, so have paid some dues to s/w.

Thanks again.

Yes, this would be great please elona.:) I have an "ancient" syn book, which isn't really that helpful. Just got into the Slimming World site and it's great.:D

I go to get weighed tomorrow night so I will try to remember to note the password and pass it on on friday. If I forget or something happens to stop me doing this then please feel free to p.m. me :):)

Hi everyone
Got weighed today and lost a massive half a pound, still better off than on. The Slimming World password for this week is DAFFODIL. Hope everyone is well and having some success. How is it that weight goes on so easily and is a beast to lose. Take care

Here is that recipe I promised you for last night, sorry it's late! It's really easy to do and so tasty you won't believe it is diet food
Enjoy.....


Stir Fried Pork with Noodles
170g egg noodles (33 sins on original)
1 tablespoon groundnut or sesame oil (6 sins)
340g lean pork tenderloin, cut into strips (21 sins on green)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (1.5 sins)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 spring onions, sliced
1/2 medium dark green cabbage, shredded
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons chicken stock
1 tablespoon sherry (1 sin)
Freshly ground black pepper



Serves 4
Sins per serving:
Original – 10.5
Green – 7.5


Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes


Cook the egg noodles in plenty of boiling lightly salted water until just tender but not mushy. Drain well in a colander and then set aside while you stir-fry the pork.


Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan and when it is hot, add the strips of pork and the hoisin sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until slightly browned.


Add the garlic, spring onions and stir-fry for 1 minute, then tip in the cabbage. Continue stir-frying for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce, chicken stock and sherry. Stir-fry for about 4 minutes, until the cabbage is slightly tender and bright green and the pork is cooked.


Just before serving, add the drained egg noodles to the stir-fried pork and vegetables, and heat through in the wok, stirring and tossing gently. Serve immediately with more soy sauce.

Nice one! Now you go to Sainsbury's and pick up a half pound butter block and see how much that half pound really is! It may not sound a lot but imagine that block of butter melting away from your waist

Thanks for the password Linda and the ongoing offer elona, it will make checking those little odds and ends so much easier!

I got weighed last night and lost 3lbs - I was slimmer of the week! So pleased I nearly cried.

It may be a fluke but it has made me feel much more positive and I think coming on this thread has helped a lot as I feel we are all in the same boat.

Have worked out that if I lose 1lb a week I could have lost three stone by christmas ( mind you I said that last year)

Good luck everyone.

I was going to say the password is daffodil but it has already been posted:)
