Tesco value cottage cheese is free isn't it? I normally get the cheap Asda one which I know is, but I didn't pass there this morning. It's much creamier than my usual!

Yes it's free

Thank you! I'll stick to this one in future, it's much nicer

That's a good recommendation topgirl. I generally buy Aldi's own brand but will try Tesco's when I'm in there.


So sorry to hear about your nan. I hope she's comfortable.:)


Good idea to treat this week as a holiday flutterby. When I go away I always try to undo some of the damage before going to WI. I'm glad you had a good time though. Nothing worse than breaking the syn bank and not enjoying it.


YS stands for Yellow Sticker betty, so basically reduced to clear and very mse:money:.


There's no harm in trying with the beef cubes lois. I don't know what sort of slow cooker you have but I always do the final thickening bit on the hob. I have a ceramic liner on my SC so that would be difficult.


I'm still feeling a bit fat. I'm telling myself Monday's aren't good when I've had almost all my syns over the weekend as usual. My next meal out is Wednesday evening so I feel I should try and weigh before then. If I'm still in target range I'm happy. The trouble with being at target is that it's like trying to lose those last few pounds over and over again:(. Not that I'm expecting any sympathy:p.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, 2 boiled eggs, HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks
L: cold meat, fried veg (2 potatoes and all the rest Speed)
savoury mince, new potatoes, carrots, cabbage
Syns: ginger chocolate


I've got a half bar (3.25 syns:D) of chocolate left from yesterday then I'm going to try and go chocolate free for a few days. It's too easy to get into (bad) habits.

Thanks maman, I was thinking it might have stood for 'yard sale' in refernence to all the stuff they chuck in the discount fridge!

Well done to your DH Gingerfurball[/Bl, amazing achievement!

I forgot to share my NSV: I bought new jeans on Saturday and had to get a size 14 so I have officially dropped a dress size (and a half I would say)! I'm so pleased. :j

I also wanted to ask everyone what the biggest loss they have had in one week? One of our members said they lost 10lbs in one week which just blew me away! :eek::eek:

TG, I’m sending as big a hug as I can for you.

Congrats to your husband, gfb. :j

Thanks, beanie and Lois, for the encouragement. I’m glad to have a companion, Betty, thanks for the offer – and well done on your new dress size. And it wasn’t as bad as expected, but still a 2lb gain , shala – can’t complain. But it does take me back to about where I was at the start of the challenge.:o
