Right skairdy..here we go ......

[libs]

Back to SW last night - all weighed and looking like this (how the hell can I be a stone heavier than the first time I went there and in a size smaller clothes? )

All muller yoghurted up and day 1 done - easy Just struggling to get my syns in (I always do )

Today was green and most days are for me - though I like mix2max - I never want a full red day so the occasional meal does me and I tend to only eat superfree foods inbetween meals anyway.

How are you doing - do you need any recipes or syns or anything?

 

[charli]

hiya im doing slimmers world to i love it and have mostly geen days .

 

[libs]

Hi Charli
glad there's more of us not counting points (waaaay too complicated for me )

How's today gone for you - I've had a great day but I'm still struggling to get syns in. I don't want to have chocolate etc because I find it easy to resist if I have none...but harder if I have a little

Got 2 days next week at meetings in the Black Country and worried about lunch as I think it's provided - think I'll sneak some of my own food in

hiya hun
im having a bad day just wana eat lots of choc i havnt tho but feel crap need to also remenmber to drink more cos i feel hungry alot but i think sometimes its just thirst . hows u been xx

 

[libs]

OK today (ate huge amount of Ainsley Harriots couscous) but right now I'm having a waiver I've spent 2 days training and I'm exhausted and haven't got the energy to cook. Luckily DH just stepped up and said he'd make me loads of beans and scrambled egg on toast (got HE left to use)

I need to get my shopping in this weekend - I'd forgotten how much food I go through on SW

I don't drink enough either - at work the loo is 2 flights of stairs away and so we tend not to drink v much - but going to start grabbing bottles of water - the stairs will do me good

BTW - Skairdy text me today - she's decorating so not online much atm but she'll join us when she's back

Thanks libs Decorating going okay. We've moved one of the doors in the living room so there was dust everywhere . Thats done now so rob's just got to do a bit of plastering then we can paint. tomorrow will be spent with him plastering and me & the boys stripping the rest of the wallpaper

Well I went off track a bit (for a change ). Had chips & gravy from the chippy yesterday because I couldn't get in the kitchen for dust etc.

Gonna get back on it now though for definate now I know this thread is here LOL.

I do mainly green days too. I love me pasta mmmmmmmmmmm. I could live off batchelors carbonara pasta n sauce (0.5 syns)

How are you two doing?

 

[libs]

Skairdy - I think I put most of my weight back on when we started the renovations as I had no kitchen for ages - when you're tired and can't cook it's murder

doing ok - having a red day today - my one a week so had a huge cooked breakfast - chicken for lunch and prawns tonight.

Found the solution for my sweet tooth - lemon couscous cake

the SW woman gave the recipe last week - on a green day it's only 2 syns for the whole cake you can't have it on red though. Texture is a little like a baked cheescake - it has quark in. But you really really have to like lemons - if anyone wants the recipe I'll put it on here

 

[skairdykat]

Oooo yeah libs that sounds yummy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Tangerinedream]

Im joining SW tonight, Im slightly nervous

 

[libs]

Don't be - it's great

lemon Couscous cake

4oz couscous (uncooked)
4tsp lemon curd
2 eggs
6 dsp sweetner (suitable for cooking)
juice and rind of 3 lemons
1 pot Quark
1tsp of baking powder

Mix couscous with 5floz of boiling water and leave to stand as per packet instructions
Beat together eggs, sweetner, lemon curd, zest and juice, quark and baking powder. Use a big bowl as it fizzes up

Fork the couscous once the time is up until it seperates

Add the mixture to the couscous and mix well - really well - you'll find you can't see it as it bubbles up so check it is all mixed in

Spray a loaf tin or large cake tin with fry light

Bake at gas mark 4/180c for approximately 45 minutes


2 syns for the whole cake on a green day

 

[libs]

would have been more but looks like Af arriving today/tomorrow so I always gain a little then
