mary - for future reference 100ml of skimmed milk is 2 syns not 1. Not a problem today as you've got syns to spare.

- 1lb this week please Shala.

Can I just have a whinge, whinge and moan Now, while I'm thrilled that it's still coming down I would swear that I've been practically angelic this past few weeks and I'm only losing a bit and tbh I feel fatter than when I started. I know that I'm horrendously impatient and in my head, NOW is a perfectly reasonable request and I haven't moved down the scales to the next stone so I'm sulking.

Anyway, onwards and upwards and congrats to all the STSs and losers and dodgy hugs to all that need them both human and canine.

Ooh what did you put in your fajita mix Shala?

I amended a recipe that I found on the internet, they all seem to add sugar and cornflour i'm a bit of a throw it together person so I didn't measure it all accurately it was nice though..

this was enough for 2 portions of chicken..

- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp chilli powder (bit too much though:eek:)
- 2 tbsp. of tomato puree
- splash of water, enough to make a bit of sauce but I like it dry, you could always add passata if you like a lot of sauce

Dropping by with this week's weigh in result - 1.5lbs off tonight. Not bad but had hoped for more - sorry Shala but I think I am still 'overdrawn' on my target for the Challenge :og

Just a teeny tiny 0.5lb to get off to break even, you'll easily do that this week and more :D

I know how you’re feeling, Tete. I’ve been there, so I can sympathise with you so easily.

Great stuff, HurdyGurdy, Mavvers, sirbaksiu, orlao and Rebster.

Hang in there, wiz.

Hello, dragonb4.

lantanna, I am so sorry for your distress.

Thinking about you, Arkers, and your furry friend.

Since lots of us are confessing to lapses, I’ll pitch in with the chips that fell onto my plate when the gang was here tonight. And a fun size bag of maltesers that one grandson turned down - his 2 cousins partook of a bag each, btw - saying he’d had a biscuit already today. He’s always been like that. He does like a flake so I got him an 8 pack instead of a selection box at Christmas and he still has most of them! It’s not that he’s discouraged or prevented from having them, he just chooses not to indulge. Why does a 7 year old have more will power than me?

Oh well, Here’s to Wednesday – planning to recoup some syns

Breakfast: scrambled eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms
Lunch: parsnip soup, hexb bread
Dinner: oven baked salmon (1 for sweet chill dipping sauce), new potatoes, broccoli, beetroot
Snacks: blueberries & FF Greek yogurt, ff yogurt, hexa cheese

This is true. It's something about the batter sealing and steaming the fish, so the oil doesn't get the chance to soak in as it's only fried for a short length of time. Not entirely sure I agree with it, but hey, I'll take free! :rotfl:

Regular Chips (227g): 17½ Syns
Large Chips (340g): 26 Syns

Battered Fish, Small (120g): 10 Syns
Battered Fish, Average (180g): 15 Syns
Battered Fish, Large (225g): 19 Syns

But I think if you don't eat the batter the fish is free.

This is great to know...

It is so hard to believe that the chips are so high in Syns!
When I make home made chips fresh, I use 5ml oil = 2 syn.

You would have thought SW would have this advice somewhere on their website, or in their books? I failed to find it, and this is our national dish.
I found these figures using Google too, but found them hard to swallow, quite literally, why are they so high?
Not everyone eats the batter, we often get lightly battered fish, leaving the batter on the side of the plate, because of Gluten.

If the Chips are not smeared in grease, i.e dry, are they still so high in syns?

Thanks

lush--Did not realise peppermint tea was a muscle relaxant----toddles off to buy lots & lots.
Please remind me to drink some every day please peeps.

yes Beanie, I only discovered after a nosey on Google. I enjoy it anyway but one of our players was recommended it for his spasms so well worth a punt

All our SW meals are healthy!!:D


We don't have anything particularly adventurous here but just to start you off:

• all roasts
• lamb shanks
• sausage and mash
• sausage casserole
• chicken casserole
• chicken jambalaya
• steak including HB braised steak
• chilli
• Bolognese
• savoury mince including made into cottage pie
• fish (we like baked haddock or cod best)
• burgers
• gammon (either steaks or cook your own joint)
• stir fry
• hash (corned beef or Austrian)

Those are the almost free ones. There are others but they have a few syns in like cauli cheese or some casseroles involving honey or sherry or red wine. We rarely had these when I was getting to target.

OH is still picky but I appear to be wearing him down; he loves gammon but I must admit I rarely buy gammon steaks as I'm always unsure of how to cook them well. he's not a fan of lamb but I am determined to try the braised steak at some point
Really need to make more in the slow cooker too for quick evening meals

I've just had a google of peppermint tea benefits, I only really drink it if I've stuffed myself silly as it's fab for bloating but there's loads more. It apparently fights asthma symptoms (which would be of huge benefit for me) and is supposed to stop congestion and coughing - well I wish I'd known that 2 weeks ago I might have recovered from this flu bug a little quicker :rotfl: I'm not drinking caffeine at the mo so might have to stock up on these little miracle bags

Yes, I've started drinking more since I found out the decongestant properties and I would say it works. That said I think I've started on it a bit late and I'm just putting off going to the dr with a suspected sinus infection.


I think my hormones are having a blip as I'm feeling like a hoover and have spots for the first time in a long while still positive for a loss in the morning


Plan for tomorrow:
breakfast: melon and banana
lunch: salad like today
mid afternoon: chicken noodle mugshot (still free I hope!)
tea (at a training session): ham sandwich (heB bread) and an apple
