Reporting a 3lbs loss after this week’s WI 👍, getting my 3 stone award and SOTW at group . It helped it was pretty quiet I guess . Afterwards trip to Tesco, getting my 3 for £1 veg and stocking up on the 3 for £3 Skyr, and another free Fage yogurt via COS. Also bought some beef and pork 5% mince; want to make the SW doner kebab recipe later this week. Never had a kebab in my life but figured it is worth trying. Will probably make 2 loaves and freeze one. Anyone on here tried the recipe? Found it on the SW website.

That's a great loss. Well done!:T And both your awards. What a day!:D


Sorry, I've never had a kebab either, well not the doner sort. Has to be worth a try though.:)


I've got some 20% off vouchers for Tesco (£40 spend). I know I need to go there to stock up on stock cubes (excuse pun:o) but was wondering what else I might get to use them. I think I'll buy in some meat and fish as not too much in the freezer.

Maman assuming you mean the red wine and white wine stockpots! They do loads of different flavours now but haven't tried them all yet. They do a mediterrean one which might be worth a try.

If you use quark their own brand one is really good and very thick. The 0% fat greek yoghurt is also good and thick.

I don't buy much meat in there as we have a local butcher which I prefer but do buy the 5% mince as it's leaner than my butchers "lean" mince, which looks to be about 10%.

Some of their fish is quite good too particularly if you are buying whole fish like salmon - which they'll prepare how you want it. I usually just have it boned and bring home 2 sides which I then portion myself and freeze.

Might be worth having a look on MySupermarket for the offers they've got on at the moment.

Well bit of a wobble yesterday.....glad 3 weeks before next bank holiday invasion.:j



Not sure if any of you have Home Bargains close, but got a Fry Light One Spray B Q Grill - it really has a garlic and mild chili kick in it, ideal for adding to mushrooms, but a little on the careful side as really strong. Well worth a try.


B, All Bran berries yog
L. 2 meds bacon, half tin beans mushroom half slice bread
D. Tuna steak and few prawns, mushy peas gr beans new pots



HEB was cereal and bread
HEA Milk allowance

Thanks for the tips Denise and vegastare .

Yes, it is the wine stockpots. I'll have to make sure I go to a large branch that has a fishmonger.

I bought frylight last week in Home Bargains but didn't see any new flavours. I buy tinned pulses there and pickled cabbage.

Be sure to have plenty of Speed vegastare . It'll help.

I've given up on tinned pulses and cook dried ones myself in the pressure cooker. Saves a fortune as we eat them quite often.

Managed to get hold of a 10 bean mix last week but haven't tried it yet. Think it will be great for the mixed bean goulash I make fairly often.

Thanks Chris for the chart.

Well done TheTalkingDead!

Well done to poundsinbucks 20.5 lb is amazing.

Plus some other amazing losses.

I'm embarrassed to have put on.
But I'm still 1 stone 7lb lighter than 18 months ago.
I would like to lose the same again, ideally.......

poundsinbucks

Thanks for new chart Chrisv. Onwards and downwards to the next challenge .

Tonight I tried a (new for me) SW recipe; Curried chicken and cauliflower bake. Turned out tasty and has been added to list of favourites. In case anyone else wants to try it...

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tbsp tikka curry powder
8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs
400g red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
200g baby leaf spinach

Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
Cook the cauliflower florets in a saucepan of boiling water over a high heat for 5 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well.
Meanwhile, mix the curry powder and 3 tbsp water in a shallow dish to make a smooth paste. Make a few slashes in each chicken thigh, add to the paste and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the chicken thighs in a large roasting tin sprayed with low-calorie cooking spray.
Toss the cauliflower with any remaining curry paste to coat the florets lightly and add to the tin around the chicken thighs. Season lightly, spray with low-calorie cooking spray and roast for 10 minutes. Scatter over the tomatoes and cook for a further 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Just before the end of the cooking time, place the spinach in a large colander over the sink and wilt it by pouring over a kettle of boiling water. Drain well, add to the chicken and cauliflower and serve hot.
