Make 2013 a year to remember with Slimming World (Part 2!)

Flat_Eric

I'm a bit behind with posts hence the belated comments from me above to some posts made earlier in the week.

Out of interest, I've decided (not sure why!) (it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!) to go back to a running group I joined last year. They usually run 2-3 times a week but I'm going to start slow and build up... anyhow, I'm unsure what to do about meals because I get in from work, sit round for an hour then out running for an hour so its about 8pm before I'm home and I don't really want to be making sw chips at that time. Does anyone have any ideas for meals that I have on running nights? I'm usually *starving* and did in the past be naughty and not count the food (you know because the running efforts I had put in cancelled it out) but I've made the decision that I really want to make some headway with shifting some pounds and I'm hoping running will help.

I got my 1.5 stone award today 1lb off, will try harder next week. I knew I couldn't stay to group so didn't have the added incentive of having my weekly result read out in group! Think I'll try the magic porridge or I read that if you soak in water overnight it tastes as good as when made with milk - anyone tried this?

I only soak mine for about 10 minutes, then microwave for 2 mins, stir in the Mullerlight and microwave again for about 15 seconds just to warm it a bit. Add fruit and enjoy!

It's definitely as creamy just soaking.

Feeling just about human again after food! I feel like I've been at the gym I'm so tired and sore lol. Too old for this.

G&B - how do you make your cheese sauce? That's a big one for me - I want to find a really good syn free/low syn cheese sauce!

Can you make extra bolognese/lasagne next time you make one & have that ready to chuck in a mircowave on your late nights? Failing that I always used to have a Pasta n Sauce packet on my late night home from college last time I did SW
Depends what days you prefer doing but my quick 'scratch' dinner on a green day is penne pasta topped with baked beans & HEa grated cheese :cool:

I didn't really make a cheese sauce, just chucked loads of cheese and a little milk over hot pasta and stirred it til it melted lol.

Not really a proper macaroni cheese but it definitely hit the spot:D

I haven't tried this but I've been looking for a low syn or free cheese sauce for lasagne and cauliflower cheese

4 tsps of corn flour 4syns
(tried it with ordinary flour though but it wasn't right)
250ml semi skimmed milk HEB
Mix corn flour with a little of milk
Gradually add rest of milk
Heat in a sauce pan until it thickens
Or heat in microwave
Add 40g reduced cheddar HEA
Or
Morrisons do a pkt instant cheese sauce for 4 syns for a third serving

Hello all. Some of you might remember me but because of illness etc etc I have not taken care of myself. I rejoined SW in April. Since then I have lost only 10lb. that includes a couple of long weekends away! It is very slow with no big losses – ½ or 1 lb a week. But I am happy with that. I have enjoyed all your posts and some great ideas. This site has kept me sane!! I thought it was time to come out from lurkdom and say hello and thank you.
I came across this site and although most know the sites I thought this was a fun way of seeing the food. (I hope this works.)

looking forward to continue reading all:)

Will try that recipe soon! Just looked at the Schwartz & Colman's packet cheese sauces & they are 7.5 & 8 syns a packet, so between the two of us wouldn't be so bad occasionally

Or, just open a tin of beans with fried eggs. Maybe new potatos from a tin?

Eric, I presume you are a man, and need more food than the ladies?
thats not meant to sound cheeky btw
, just that from watching tv diets shows, the men get to eat more:)
