I'm a spirialiser virgin and properly christened it by cutting myself on the thing.:o:(:mad: Took me a while to get it going.

Frylight has another use on SW as when sprayed on kitchen roll or a cotton bud, it shifts the orange stains left by carrots and sweet potato:j:D

Well done scarlet!!




I've had a quick look at the M&S and Sainsbury's lists on the site:
For M&S: 3 bean salad with mint 3.5, Edamame bean 2, King Prawn & noodles 2, Creamy Prawn Count on Us 4.5 or Sainsbury's 4 bean 2.5, Asian Stle Rice 4, Spicy Chicken Pasta 3.5 or Edamame & Butter Bean 3. They're about the lowest.


If you've got time to stop anywhere I'd recommend a jacket potato. Debenhams do a nice one with tuna. Or I like the Tuna Nicoise salad in Pret a Manger which is free until you add a dressing but it comes separately so I only use a drizzle. Or sometimes I just grab a pack of tikka chicken pieces or ham and make up for the Speed when I get home. HTH

Thanks maman, that was really helpful I hadn't thought of Pret as an option - ended up getting the tuna nicoise salad which was very tasty Funnily enough just after seeing this post I saw a new article on SW online which also recommends the tuna nicoise salad! (http://online.slimmingworld.co.uk/useful-features/eatingout-highstreet.aspx) - a few other helpful bits on their as well - it's similar to some of the other eating out guides but a bit more up to date for some places e.g. Wetherspoons

Hurdygurdy - 100g of dried is equivalent to 400g of cooked lentils. No need to soak red lentils.

Put me down for 9lbs please for the next challenge, shala. You never know …..

Good to see a loss, debjay, Denise, s_d_w, mary, Tete and Kaz.

That’s great news, ScarletMarble.

Good to see you sticking at it, beanie. I have lost the plot! Wish Monday would come so I can write off this week!

Good luck everyone.

Thank you joedenise.

It was vile

I won't be making THAT again. I didn't eat it but the human waste disposal unit - aka my husband - did.

I ended up with my second chicken salad of the day. And a packet of Mini Jammie Dodgers as consolation.

At least I've had plenty of speed today

I was absolutely astounded this week when I saw that I had lost 3 lbs - I was SOTW and (finally) got my 2 stone award - 8 months after starting SW. I'm going to measure myself in the morning to see how many inches I've lost - I actually realised today that my watch was slightly loose!

Cooked diet coke chicken for the first time tonight. Was a bit unsure about serving it to DH (he's a meat-and-potatoes guy at heart) but he really enjoyed it and has asked for it again. The two leftover portions have gone into the freezer for lunches, I think it'd be lovely on a jacket potato.

For the next challenge I'd like to set a target of 9 lbs. I seem to be losing at pretty much a pound a week so I think that setting an achievable target will be good for my self-esteem.
