I love a good curry, never made a veg one before, what did you put in it?

I usually just make a curry sauce and then just bung in any leftover veggies I've got. I often just make a curry sauce and freeze it until I need it. Can then reheat and just add whatever you want to it - potato & cauiflower is nice. A storecupboard favourite is to just drain and rinse a can of chickpeas and heat that in the sauce and when it's coming up to the boil stir in some fresh spinach if you have it or some frozen spinach.

In fact I've just made a curry sauce this morning and waiting for it to cool at the moment. I've got some leftover roast chicken from yesterday so will add some of that to it before freezing the lot. A SW ready meal in the freezer for later in the month.

Well the weigh in went just about as expected and I ended up losing 0.2lb so hardly any movement this week. Not surprising as I had quite a few beers on Saturday and only spent an hour on the cross trainer last week. This week will be better I guarantee it as I have two lots of football and no drinking this week.
The weight I wanted to be at the start of this adventure was 16 stone and I am now exactly at 16 stone so a loss of 3 stone 4lb in 9 weeks is beyond my wildest dreams. I have now decided to try and get down to 15 stone and then maintain that weight.
I promised my self a new television if I got to 16 stone but will now put that on hold until 15 stone.
I did one of the most rewarding things in a long time on Friday night. I went clothes shopping and bought trousers and shirts that were smaller than normal. My trousers are now a 38" waist instead of a 44" and my shirt is XL instead of XXXL. I think I could of actually gone for 36" trousers but didn't want to push it too much.
Anyway good luck to everyone with their weigh in's this week.

Afternoon all,

Not a great day for me today, I'm not very well, stinking rotten cold, so I'm sat on the sofa feeling sorry for myself...

So far today has included...

B - 2 weetabix
S - Walkers pops
L - 2 x 'fried' eggs on 2 x WM bread

EM - Will be Chilli Con Carne with boiled rice using WW jar sauce and extra lean mince beef.

Not really an EE, G or R day but just too tired to think too much!!

On a positive note, my weight has yoyo'ed for a few months now but I realised yesterday I am now the lightest I've been so far this year and most likely for a good few months of the end of last year too

Have fun and be good xx

I hope you feel better soon lucky-legs and brilliant news on the weight loss.

I read somewhere on here I think that the tin of dahl from Asda is free, so I bought one cause it sounded nice. But what do I do with it Just eat it on its own or throw it in a curry, has anyone tried it?.

Hi, the dahl is fine to eat on it's own, or by adding peppers, mushrooms, onions and chicken or quorn, plus a tin of tomatoes, you can make it stretch much further.

If you have more time, I like to make a veggie curry and then mix the dahl in at the end for added flavour.

You can also make the dahl into onion bhajis by adding finely chopped onion, a small pack of dried original smash and 2 beaten eggs. Mix it all together and then form into small balls, which you then place onto a baking tray covered in greaseproof paper. Spray each one with frylight and bake at 200/gas 6 for 10-15 mins or until golden. They are free, but a tweak, so it depends how you feel about that. I also know people who make theirs by adding cous cous not smash. Xx

Very excited to find that Oat so Simple now do a Multigrain range that can be classed as a HEB for original, honey or fruit muesli. I'm rubbish at making Porridge from scratch so so glad I can go back to sachets knowing that the consistency will be right!

Evening all, having read lots of this thread over the weekend and tried to organise myself I decided to get going on this and I'm hoping all you lovely ppl can help me along the way.

Could someone just advise me of syns on my menu today I have written down what I think it should be:

I was attempting a EE day:

Breakfast - Mushrooms, bacon and scrambled eggs, fried in fry light
Lunch - Salad, 1 slice of ham, 2 mini light babybels, grapes
Dinner - Jacket potato with beans and 40g grated cheese (I think should have been 30g? tho) SF jelly (0.5)

HEA Milk with coffee
HEB - Cheese with potato

Extras - 3 tsp sugar with coffee (3)

Not sure if I am doing this right? thanks :cool:

Hi DiscountMummy

I'm no expert and I am sure someone with more experience than me will be along soon, but looking at your menu you have too many HEA and no HEB. My understanding is that you can have 1xHEA and 1XHEB on Extra Easy. So going by what you've had, you will have to syn the cheese with your potato (around 5 for 25g if it's normal cheddar, less if it's a light variety) and the mini babybel are 2 syns each.

You also don't have any HEB - this is normally something high in fibre like ryvita or brown bread. So if it was me, I would have used 2x slices from a small wholemeal loaf or a 60g wholemeal roll with the ham and salad at lunch and ditched the babybel.

You also need to up the veg as your plate should be 1/3rd super free so your dinner could have done with a salad with it.

Fingers crossed I've got it right as I don't want to mislead you!!
