Meg72 we love our actifry as well. Ours is very dirty with the spry oil and I have tried everything to clean it. The dishwasher doesn't help. Can you tell me what you used and can you tell me how to make the chicken fried rice as it sounds lovely. Thank you very much in advance and good luck with your actifry. Ours is on sometimes lunch and dinner time. X

So sorry for the delay, I meant to come back and answer this yesterday but forgot..

I cleaned it by firstly by scraping most of the thick gunge off with a wooden lollystick, the pan and the plastic top were put to soak in hot water with stardrops and washing soda and then used a plastic scourer, , the paddle was the worst bit and after scraping and washing as above it still had a lot of caked burnt on grease so I put it in a large bowl and used oven spray, which got a lot off and then scraped and washed again. The filter was black and gunged up so used the oven cleaner on that as well and then a metal scourer, and this came up better than I expected.

The idea for the chicken fried rice came from here

I used onion, mushrooms, celery, red pepper and homegrown bean sprouts, afterwards I thought I could have put some sweetcorn in as well, didn't use the soy sauce and seasoned with salt and pepper.

It was really nice and although I have made similar just using a frying pan I was really pleased that I didn't have to stand and keep stiring it.

Going to try this again just using smartprice stir fry veg and no rice.

Hello girls, think I will try the actifry you have inspired me well done on all the recent losses.

I have just gone back to group after a few weeks off, tried to log onto the sw website but it wont let me.

Can somebody please help with syns. Syrup Weetabix, I guess they are not health extras, and also asda low fat banana, honey and grain yoghurt, how many syns is that please, before I devour the whole tub

Thnaks girls, have a good day.

Morning everyone

I quite like thinking I was force fed pizza last night but in reality I just had a very bad day and made a VERY big, bad choice:mad: I won't go into the details as I know many are dealing with much worse than me but I'm so aware that I'm an emotional eater.

So new day, back on the wagon -

Breakfast - wholemeal roll (hexb), bacon and tomatoes

Lunch - LO pasta salad with extra roasted veg, pineapple and mango chunks

Dinner - still to decide, depends on hospital visiting but WILL be SW friendly

Syns - as few as possible

Take care all x

Back from housegroup meeting where I ended up having a small chocolate snowball and an after eight mint. Anyone know the syns for these, please. I am so scared of putting on the weight I lost last week, especially as I've got a meal out at Harvesters next week.

After Eights are 2 syns each and your snowball could be 3. It's hard to tell as they vary a lot with brands/sizes but it's 3 for a small one. Harvester is a good SW choice. There's one close to my group and lots of the ladies use it. I think that's for plain cooked chicken and salad bar and JP. There's info about it on the SW website.


Fancy having a car to look forward to as a reward lush. Wow!!


Hope you have a better day today MrsR. try not to get hungry.


Thanks for calling by lantanna and hope your 'date' goes well mildredd.


:T to all those with losses and being positive.


I'm back from WI and allegedly I've gained 2.5lbs.:eek:
It's strange I feel quite thin and except for my Ikea lunch I've been quite good this week. I'm guessing that past syns have caught up with me from previous weeks.


I'm still well within target but it really threw me. Anyway, I decided not to stay to group and instead went to Lidl which is close to where the group meets. I've bought plenty of SF and while I was there I stocked up on cornichons and got a jar of peppers. I bought nothing that wasn't 100% SW friendly. I'm going to do a beanie and keep plodding.:)

Sorry, meant to post my EE menu:


B: NAS Ribena, HEB Shreddies, HEA milk
L: Golden Rice with stir fry veg (mushrooms, pepper, sugar snaps, beansprouts). I'm going to make up the whole packet and any I don't eat I'll keep to snack on.
liver, fried onions, mash, carrots, cabbage, peas
Syns: gravy

beanielou

Keeping plodding is good
Though I had to have an enforced day of rest on Tuesday

Really hoping for a loss tonight :eek:
We shall see.
