Morning,




Good luck to all the weigh in folk today!


Look forward to reading the losses later.


I love a Terry's Chocolate Orange though at 2.5 syns per segment I'll love them from afar lol.


Talking of chocolate Orange - finally got my hands on a Muller - loved it - there was 5 left in Asda on Saturday and I bought them all!


Mildredd - Feels great doesn't it - I'm in a Size 14 jumper and trousers today


I have so many too big clothes to get rid of - ebay and charity shop - determined to start listing this weekend. Big commitment though to get rid of the top big clothes - I have some lovely things and I would hate to think that I would need them again. I've got rid of a lot of size 20's to the charity shop - guess there is no point hanging on to them.


Mrs Lady - Well done on the pub


So on the pull back on thurs as usual


B: Pineapple, Muller


L: Gammon, Carrots, Brocoli & Cauliflower
2 Kiwis, Strawberries


2 X Linda McC Sausages & More Veg, LS Beans & Mushrooms


LOTS & LOTS OF GREEN TEA & NAS CORDIAL!!

Hello all, its been quieter then usual on here over the weekend. Hope everyone is ok.

I've had an ok-ish weekend. I find them so hard and definitely relax my diet brain.

I was fairly productive and made some more soup to take to work. So have my lunches sorted for the next 5 days.

My proud of moment was helping my 2 DD's to bake cookies, they had a blast and ate them all up over the course of the weekend. They smelt divine, but I resisted and ignored them. :j Yay for me!!

I'm excited for food for the next few nights, I have done my first Ocado online shop and I have that coming tomorrow night. I qualify for a free bottle of bubbly, so have made this my treat for when I get under 13 stone (will be a few months but its nice to have a goal). I also got £10.50 off with quidco and free delivery so have spent around £35 on this weeks shopping!

Did another Josie workout session again last night, and this time I don't ache. So hopefully it is still working but getting easier. I take my measurements on Thursday so we will see if it is working.

Becks - Think this is a really good idea re an incentive to lose weight - I sometimes do this with a Chinese, meal out, new top etc and it seems to spur me on


Your certainly getting the exercise in hun xx

Hi all, happy Monday!

I was on plan on Saturday even though I had a really long day at work, and yesterday started ok when I asked for salad instead of chips with my steak!

But then we got KFC and had chocolate/icecream whilst watching a film. Oh well, on the bright side I did go to Boot Camp and I've been for a run this morning. So hopefully it will counteract it!

Hope you all have a great day.

That's one of the reasons why it's better not to weigh yourself in between, it can be so disappointing and then you get cross with yourself. Don't beat yourself up about it - what's done is done, you can't change it. Just get back on plan and look forward. Good luck for WI.

I was so off plan yesterday - had far too many alcohol syns - will need to cut back between now and WI on Thursday. Need to keep my syns under 10 a day if I've got any chance of a loss - and I really need a loss to get back into top end of target range.

I'm going to be doing a mix of plans this week, starting with a Red day today:

B - bacon and scrambled eggs; banana and Mullerlight
L - prawn & crabstick sandwich with salad, spread with Lighter than Light Mayo
D - roasted chicken legs with loads of roasted vegetables, including aubergine, courgette, carrots, onions, garlic & peppers.
S - 4 rye crispbreads with 4 Laughing Cow Emmental triangles

HEA1 - milk in tea throughout the day
HEA2 - 4 Laughing Cow Emmental triangles
HEB1 - 2 slices WM bread
HEB2 - 4 rye crispbreads

Syns - 1 Tbs Lighter than Light Mayo - 0.5; Pink 'n' White - 2.5
not sure if I'll have anything else

With that lot I don't think I'll need anything else but if I do then there are still some satsumas left and more bananas. Also have some roasted gammon sliced up in the fridge to pick on.

I haven't joined in the latest challenge as 1. i didnt hit the last one which annoyed me 2. i've struggled to shake off Christmas with leftovers lying about etc.
However the last 2 weeks have been better and I have continued to lose. I am doing dry January which is helping and i think has speeded up my losses.

Tried out a couple of new recipes this weekend.

SW Chocolate drops - mix a vanlla muller light and a belgian options, make into dops on a tray and freeze. so about 10 drops were 1/2 syn on EE . made about 40 altogether. some people used chocolate moulds or ice cube trays.

Magic pancakes - soak overnight the porridge and ML and then fry. I had mine with berries on Sat and on Sun I had a chopped banana and some honey. so sat was free and sun was 2 syns on EE

Rick Stein's Chettinad chicken - i just omitted the olive oil and used frylight. no syns on EE

Morning all

Sorry i have been absent the last few days - did not have a good weekend food wise. On friday i had a leaving do to go too & had the skinny pizza ( 460 cals so not too bad i guess) , sorbet plus a few glasses of wine. Stuck to plan on Saturday but then yesterday i was eating all day (and all the wrong stuff ). It went wrong from the get go - planned on an EE day. Had Bacon & mushrooms on toast - all good so far.. then the snack attacks came - i devoured my bag of nobbys nuts ( love these so much ), 3/4 of a chocolate orange (that has been sat in a cupboard since xmas ), 2 x crabbies plus some salted caramel ice cream. I cant lie - i enjoyed it all but felt very guilty after i had finished the ice cream

Today is fast day for me so hopefully i will burn off all the excess of yesterday . I have with a carrot & my dinner will be something called "Hunger Busting balti curry" - which tbh could be used on SW too. Not sure if anyone is interested but here the recipe is if anyone is interested.

2 x onions
410g chick peas - are these synned? If so what is the total please?
tin of 400g toms
cauliflower ( i used broccoli & cauli)
Butternut Squash
Balti paste - as i dont have any in i used spices & tom puree to make the "paste"
250ml water

Cook onions (i used frylight) until they are soft
add in the paste & cook for a further 5 mins
add the toms, butternut squash & cauliflower along with the 250ml of water.
Cook out for a few minutes ( i used frozen veg so it didnt take long)
Add the chickpeas - cook for a further 5 minutes

Had a little taste yesterday and it was delicious.

2B - I would like to increase my loss goal please. can you please put me down for another 4lbs down for me to lose?

Have a nice day everyone

Chickpeas are Free on Green and EE. Would need to be synned on a Red day but absolutely no point in eating on a Red day - why syn something you can have free if you change the day you do.

Thanks for the recipe, will certainly give that one a go - a good Green day recipe and completely Free. I really wouldn't bother using this on an EE day - I'd rather make it a Green day and have 2 HEAs and 2 HEBs:T.

It would have syns in if you use a ready made Balti paste (1-2 per Tbs depending on brand) but doing it with tom puree & spices is free so I'd probably do that as well as I don't usually buy pastes.

2a its a 2lb loss for me this week

Happy with that. Was 0.8 lighter earlier in the week, and I think the difference is partly down to water - I drink more when I'm at work, so will need to try and keep drinking!

Well done on all the great losses and support for fellow SW people, its great on here!!

Mmmm what is syn free rice pudding and how do I make that?

Also, I am quite partial to a bit of Soreen, can anybody tell me the syn values please?
