Slimming world advice please :)

Mine helps me where he can but he still stuffs his skinny face with jammie dodgers and chocolates in front of me.

Got to admit, chocolate and sweets don't bother me too much. If he sits down with a takeaway pizza on the otherhand, I believe I will have good grounds for a divorce...unreasonable behaviour.

At my MILs earlier and the kids brought over a tub of Haribo sweets and opened it right next to me. I have to tell them to go to the other side of the room whilst looking at the Syn values....decided I preferred wine rather than haribos.

Lost 1lbs. Better than nothing but still not lost all my gain from last week. Odd that. Oh well.
Had no breakkie
Ham and watermelon for lunch and a small caffe nero cappuccino
Snack two small slices of wholemeal toasted with quark and cucumber.
Dinner will be roast chicken, roast potatoes, carrots and onion. Yumm!
Maybe raspberries and blackberries with quark and splenda if I want something sweet later. Had my chocolate buttons already.

Well done on the loss angel!

So I've got 4 melons in my fridge! Bit excessive I know lol.
I already had 2 when I won 2 more in the raffle! My questions is, how long will they last if I chop them up and put them in Tupperware pots?

They are not getting eaten at the mo as I like something I can just grab and snack on and don't go for the melons as I have to chop it everytime I want some!

 

[AngelUK]

I am not sure but I would say 3 to 4 days as I often buy the precut ones for that exact reason and they usually have at least 3 to 4 days before expiry. I LOOOVE melon, especially water melon!

If they went off youd be able to smell it quite quickly as they smell like alcohol in a non good way!

 

[nicki01]

I can't imagine it will be in there that long as once I can just munch my way through it without the hassle of cutting it each time I will probably eat one in a day! But at least I know it will last a bit
Might start doing that as it will cheaper than punnet of blueberries & raspberries I'm going through at the moment! Costing me £4 per day!

Well done on your loss Angel

I've just flicked through my sheet when I was at WW and my losses were 3lb first week then the next week was 1/2 lb then 2 1/2 pound the week after. So hoping for a bigger loss this Thursday.

Haven't eaten much today as not been hungry and finer tasted disgusting annoying as it took ages to cook! Only had 1 1/2 syns so far so just eating a chopped apple and a tbsp of peanut butter before bed. My fav new snack x

 

[lindseymw]

1lb loss! Well done Angel.

I made a bean & sausage pie. It was lush!

Tin of baked beans
Tin of mixed pulses
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Pearl barley (no idea how much, I just poured it in)
200ml (ish) beef stock
Simmer for 30-40mins

Cooked 9 LM Rosemary Sausages in actifry

Boiled and mashed some potatoes, added fat free yoghurt & chopped parsley.

Boiled two eggs and quartered (last minute decision!)

Chop sausages into bitesize bits and chuck them in a ovenproof dish along with the egg. Pour over bean mix and pat down.

Spoon mash over. Sprinkle low fat grated cheese on top (optional) and bake until cheese is golden.

Serves 4-6 (depending upon how hungry/how much you eat!) Can reduce the amount of sausages if you want...but I just used them as they were free!

Kids loved it and wolfed the lot!

Sounds yummy Lindsey might be Wednesday nights dinner!

No chocolate for two days!!

It was my "make it up as I went along tea." Had a vague idea of what I was going to do but just added random stuff whilst making it! I think it would be nice to use Mixed Pulses in a chilli sauce...but DH and kids aren't a fan. I just used the ones that were in water (drained them first!)

 

[nicki01]

That sounds really nice, going to add that to my recipe book!

 

[topsy]

Lola well done for 2 days with no chocolate... me on the other hand has eaten 2 months worth in 2 days! xxxx

 

[nicki01]

Anyone know how many syns a creme egg is? They are in the shops now and I love them! I imagine they are loads but I can't find them on the app!

 

[AngelUK]

I think the creme eggs were 9syns but I have no idea if that is the same since they overhauled the syns.

Topsy hope you are not beating yourself up over the chocolate glitch. it can happen! Just draw a line under it and start afresh!

 

[lola_90]

Wow that's a lot for a crime egg - they are so small!

Hope everyone's had a good day

Angel - I give up looking for Quark! I tried Waitrose today with no luck

 

[AngelUK]

Maybe you could ask someone? In my local shop they keep it next to the fresh cheeses such as ricotta and buffalo mozzarella in tubs.
And yes that is a lot of syns! Put me right off! lol
