Re children at group - I took Rebecca to group last night - she is only 10 days old!

I weighed in last night & have lost 1st 6.5lbs in 2 weeks! (But might have cheated by evicting a baby!) lol

I didn't stay to group so it would have been given to someone else!

Think there may have been a bit of an uproar if I had taken it! :rotfl:

Nessie a woman in my group came back the week after having her baby and wasnt allowed slimmer of the week and shed lost loads. She lost loads the week after too her little girl attends each week - all get little baby cuddles

Catt- well done

Lohman - my dd and others just sit and play and then applaud everyone sometimes she gets enthusiastic and woops and cheers but no one minds? All the old people at group love them running round? My dd gets all excited when we walk into the place where our group is I think she prefers it to baby group

Had a quick read of the body magic booklet and I think I'm going to go for the bronze award during the pudding challenge give me something to focus on and work towards - although the booklet says 15mins walk - my c when questioned said u had to raise heartbeat significantly so a jog etc? Hmm I might just map out a walk to a set distance and do that instead? Ideas anyone?
Will ask my consultant on Monday about it to get a proper answer plus I want a shiny sticker for doing it

Having a free food lunch, will see how I go then attempt to get back on with a sw dinner and hopefully get back on the wagon from this bug.

Hadn't decided on my syns when I posted earlier but really fancied cake - so I've just made a SW carrot cake (no scan bran involved!). It's 5 syns for the whole cake and it's cooked in the microwave so only takes a few minutes to cook. Am just waiting for it to cool down and then I'll put the topping on it and have a piece with my cup of tea when DH gets home in about 20 minutes.

ooh you got the recipe for that?

joedenise

Just had a slice and it's not bad. I think the orange flavour in it isn't really necessary so will leave it out next time. I think I got the recipe from "minimims" website.

SW carrot cake

Cake
125g quark
100g grated carrot
28g smash
9g sweetener
3 eggs
2 tbsp mincemeat
4 tsps. mixed spice
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp orange flavouring (I used little orange juice as I hadn't got flavouring)

Topping
2 tbsp. sweetener
125g quark
1 tsp orange flavouring

Mix all the cake ingredients together. Spray a 7" dish with frylight and put the cake mixture in there and microwave on full power for about 8-10 minutes. Just keep checking, the cake shouldn't have any liquid left on the top and it should be springy to the touch. When cooked turn the cake out and cool on a cooling rack.

While the cake is cooling mix together the topping ingredients and keep in the fridge. When the cake is cool spread the topping on and cut into 5 slices. Each slice works out as 1 syn each.


I only cooked my cake for 6 minutes as I have a 900 watt microwave - I think the timings are probably for a 650 watt microwave so you'll need to judge it for your own microwave.

Evening all

Thanks everyone for your kind words been a bit of a busy day today. I've been to college today to see my NVQ tutor and she's really lovely, we did a few questions towards my optional units and it was good to get them out of the way. I then went for a nice long walk - from the college to the local Morrisons, round Morrisons and then into the town centre, and I even got off the bus 4 stops earlier and walked the rest of the way to make a total of 2.5 miles of Body Magic knee is ok today so I'm going on the bike after this. I cant believe I walked to Morrisons - since I started SW I've been walking a lot more and before I would never have dreamed of walking there - I'd have called a taxi!!!
Have also had a very good day today.
B: HEXB measured portion of Fruit and Fibre with HEXA s/s milk, cup of coffee with HEXA s/s;
L: Was an absolutely gorgeous fresh salad from Morrison's salad bar - lettuce, cherry tomatoes, peppers, cucumber cubes, sweetcorn, beetroot, onions - red and spring - and 2 boiled eggs with my own fat free vinegarette dressing, and Uncle Ben's special golden vegetable microwave rice (2.5 syns) then I had a HiFi Light Rocky Road (3 syns) and a pint of NAS cordial with mineral water;
T: Tesco Lighter Choices Salmon and Broccoli Pie (2 syns) with steamed cauli and broccoli, steamed baby new potatoes. Pudding was a bag of Tesco Everyday Value frozen fruit salad (apple, melon, grape, pineapple, mandarin) with vanilla Mullerlight and a pint of NAS cordial and mineral water.
Supper will be a chicken and sweetcorn MugShot, some cherry tomatoes and some ham.
Total for today 7.5 syns :j
Better get on that bike now then...!!
