Has anyone tried to make the SW Burgers yet, like the ones they sell in Iceland? I've given it a couple of tries with 5% mince from ALDI, but not quite been able to get them right. Not sure why. Still nice, but just not the result I'd expected. Those burgers are absolutely awesome though, worth their money.

I've started eating a lot more of the SW Ready meals lately actually and they're great. I'm keeping away from one or two of the Chinese style ones, apparently they're a bit higher in salt than the rest, but the curry ones are very good. Originally, I felt they were too expensive, but I'm not sure they are. £3 for a meal... Not too bad that.

:T well done on getting a loss denise. Yu must have really pulled hard on those reins!!:D

Thanks for reminding me about the extra HEB on EESP. I did stick to it yesterday although I had a veggie omelette in the end instead of separate bits.

I like the BGTY burgers from Sainsbury's. They're just 1 syn for a quarter pounder. As well as that I make my own both beef and pork with bits like onions, herbs, chopped gherkins and capers mixed in. I enjoy them too but they don't taste the same as shop bought.

That's interesting about liking the ready meals. I once bought a chicken curry, jalfrezi I think, to try. It tasted OK but the sauce as very watery IMO. My favourite is Aldi Lamb Rogan Josh at 1.5 syns.

Unless you have a specific health problem then salt in an occasional ready meal wouldn't be a problem as you're controlling (or leaving out) the salt in HM meals like your omelettes.:)


I like to write down my meals on here abbafan. I do also usually keep a food diary in a notebook with a running total of syns with it but that's lapsed in recent weeks as we've been away a lot. A new syn banks week starts today so you've inspired me to be good again.





I have a BIL who serves a side of cold beans with salad. I think it's odd but they obviously enjoy it.


Just out of interest, I'm always surprised when anyone calls SW a diet. Same yesterday, I think, when someone mentioned earning points. Is this because of a history of trying other slimming programmes?:) I've never thought of SW as a diet. It gives me a framework for healthy eating which I wouldn't want to give up for other than a short term treat like a holiday. I always think of diet (in the slimming sense) as a short term fix then go back to 'normal' after losing the weight.


We're eating early tonight as I have to go out so maybe a snack later (probably munch on some beetroot!).


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, 2 boiled eggs, half HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks
L: JP with ham, cottage cheese and beetroot
Austrian ham hash (carrots, onion, leeks, mushrooms, celery, tomato) with cabbage
Syns: Parmesan 1
