Happy days all round we are all doing great!

Today Im at uni trying to get an essay done so easy food till i get home

B- two slices of wholemeal from a 400g loaf HEB toasted with peanut butter 4 1/2 syns then a bowl of cherries

L - chicken marinated in tikka - free, topcorn 5 1/2, two bananas, yoghurt 1/2

D - linda mccartney free sausages with mash potatoes, cheese HEA, beans

Ordered some Quark with my sainsburys shop Angel so hoping it arrives! Ive found a recipe of a slimming world fb group for lasagne using quark so that will be tomorrow nights dinner!

 

[AngelUK]

sounds great! Let us know how it turns out! I looove lasagne but sadly OH is so so about it.

 

[lola_90]

Its one of our favourite dinners and LO goes crazy for it. I need to try the SW macaroni cheese one as this is another LO's fav.

Realised I won't have potatoes till food order areas so might just be pesto pasta with cheese and the sausages instead!

Well done Lola thats a Great loss

 

[lola_90]

Thank you Kit I doubt it will be as much next week, I would be very happy with 3.5lbs off but will see.

I've been organised this evening and weighed out my popcorn into 25g bags!! What a wild Friday night!!

Have any of you got any tips on how to manage when not staying at home? I'm going to stay with my grandma for a night later this month but not sure what I will do. She loves to cook and always buys lots whenever we come over. I think I will tell her before hand and maybe bring ingredients for dinner and say I will cook.

Does anyone know if a Skinny Cappucino from Costa can be free if using milk as part of HEA? Or do I have syn it? No sugar, slight bit of choc powder on top (will have to syn the choc powder I'm guessing).

 

[lindseymw]

First weekly weight in (in my bathroom!). Lost 4lb this week!

Well done everyone for their losses this week

Lindsey my app says costa skimmed cappuccino eat in, 1 primo 3.5 syns.
But it means nothing to me as I hate coffee and have never been to costa lol! Hope that helps!

Edited to add:
My food directory I bought on Thursday says skinny cappuccino eat in 1 primo 3 syns.

So now I'm not to sure! Need to ask my consultant how this book works as it doesn't seem to match what the app says unless I'm reading it wrong somehow??

 

[AngelUK]

I would find it hard to be able to tell how much milk it is and how much I would still have left for the day and always syn my cappuccinos. As for the discrepancy in syns that Nicki mentioned, maybe the other one is for the takeaway coffee, the cups for having it in store are probably smaller than the take away ones. Caffe Nero's smallest cappuccino says 1 1/2 syns, I think their paper cups are the smallest, but I still wonder if that can be true when Costa and Starbucks small ones are 3 and 3 1/3

ETA well done on your weight loss lindsey

My app says 3 syns for it.

Silly question but are you using the shiny new app or the taste of slimming world 2.0 app? I know a lot of people are using the old app thinking it's been updated but there is a whole new one out.

Going to bake half syn brownies today mmmmm yum and I have some mincemeat to use up so might do mince pies again

 

[AngelUK]

I had downloaded the new one but it crashed all the time so I went back to the old one. Must try the new one again. Maybe it is ok now.

 

[topsy]

I lost 1.5 lbs girls

My app keeps playing up too.

is that how many syns a small cappuccino is costs is? I might go next week, is that with skimmed milk, sorry for the questions girl.

xxxx

 

[AngelUK]

Well done Topsy! Considering you gave in to the lure of chocolate that is a fab loss!
And yes that is a cappuccino with skimmed milk

 

[lola_90]

Can't stop thinking about chocolate and pizza today. I haven't had any syns yet but I know if I have some I won't stop!!

 

[nicki01]

I didn't know about the new app will have to get it.
Well done topsy, I bet your pleased!

I've just eaten a lovely chicken hotpot, so many veggies in there, it was gorgeous and only 1 syn! Now I really want some chocolate, I've had 2 syns today so will have 5 biscuits and a hifi bar in a bit and then a hot choc before bed! 12 in total today.

 

[Katerz]

Had a real nice chicken and bacon pie with sweet potato mash....then I had a bunch of chocolate agghhhh
