[NickyT75]

well done Blah!

I tried those new mint muller lights yesterday but I wasn't keen tbh it just reminded me of toothpaste

Not happy tho coz Asda have replaced the coconut ones with the mint ones & the coconut ones were the only ones I bought xx

hello ladies, mind if i join you? i bring cake! not sure how many syns but here goes:

1 cup light olive spread
1/3 cup truvia(no cal sweetener)
1 cup self raising flour
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 grated carrot
handful of sultanas

makes 12.

cream olive spread and sweetener until smooth. Add egg whites and whisk until cottage cheese consistency(!) Sieve in flour and fold. Add carrot, cinnamon and sultanas. Mixture may thin out due to moisture from carrot, so add a little flour if this happens Bake in a 180c oven for 20 mins until golden and springy to touch.

If you want to add a topping, mix low fat cream cheese with icing sugar.

[leash27]

Well done Blah

I had my first WI tonight and lost 5lbs I am over the moon! I was really worried as I thought I was doing something wrong as I was eating so much but turns out I must just be brain washed my Weight Watchers lol!

OH and I went shopping on Sat and we almost bought the M&S Valentines Meal Deal thingy - its £20 for starter, main course, side order, dessert, bottle of wine and chocolate. I had chosen all the things I wanted and then started to feel guilty about abusing my syns. So I put it all back and OH is going to cook one of the SW recipes instead. Thats progress for me!

[leash27]

Ok ok I lied...I put it all back except for the chocolate and praline dessert. I just couldn't do it. I am going to have it as a treat for V Day and save up a few syns each day this week to compensate. And go the gym on Wed and Thurs.

God I feel like a naughty school girl!

[NickyT75]

[africaqueen]

Well done on losses Leash and Blah! great work girls x

Well done on maintaining Lisa and i will give that yogurt thing a try then. Thanks x

Kitten- Welcome and GL and that recipe sounds yum x

Hi to all the gang x

AFM- Iv lost 2lb again this wk but i had LOADS of treats over the wkend so i am actually glad i managed 2lbs. I have been feeling low so struggling to stick to plan but i am hoping for 4lbs off by next monday hopefully but a loss is a loss an its better slowly but surely than gaining so i am thinking positive about the smaller losses now.
Me an dh are treating ourselves to a posh meal at a south african place tomorrow night with some wine too an then im back on plan so flexi syns tomorrow xxx

Hello girls, Nicky recommended SW to me and I think it will be a struggle for me in many ways, but I'm intrigued so as life is too short to wade through 320 pages I'm going to ask a few questions here if that is ok.

How do you motivate yourself if you do this online? I can't get to WI sessions as near me they are either early in the morning, which is a no go for getting me and LO out the house on time or in the evening which is also a no go as I need to do tea/bath/bed etc. I'm on my own and don't have anyone who can babysit as my LO still BF's to sleep.

What sort of foods can you eat? I know this is a huge question as I'm sure the list is mega but i'm fussy. I don't eat fish, not keen on meat but eat mince, chicken and gammon. I don't eat peppers/cooked tomato/aubergine as 1 I don't like them and 2 I'm supposedly allergic to them. I don't like hot spicy food and wont eat anything with artificial sweetner. I'm a huge milk and cheese addict (but can't stand cottage cheese, it is the work of the devil) and I could kill for chocolate

Can you make toddler friendly dinners? As it is just the two of us and we eat together I don't want to cook two different meals but don't want to limit LO's fat/calories as he is such a skinny child he needs all the help he can get.

I'm also still BF although mainly just first and last thing plus the never ending night feeds. Does that make a difference at all?

When do you get all the books/info are they worth it? I've had a quick look, to sign up online it wants £60 bronze which doesn't include the food optimising and body magic books or the magazine and £80 for gold (for 3mths). I'm on my own and I'm a SAHM so I don't have any spare money, basically I'd need to sign up for as little as poss then keep going on my own, I just can't spend £20 a month, even the sign up amount would be a struggle Can I get the info anywhere else? Can I buy the right books so I don't need to spend the extra £'s?

I'm sure i had other questions to ask but LO has woken twice already and my brain is now fried for the day

TIA x

Hi lightning bugs.
It does seem to be easy a d toddler freindly. My meals doe my one year old who is a pain with feeding. But he was helpful would certainly be something he could eat, my six year old and dh.
Motivation wise. That's s hard one but why don't you look on eBay to see if you can get the books or advertise here in the wanted section. Then you wouldn't be shelling out all that extra cash.
It seems easy to follow all the foods you like you can eat tons of except the cheese and choc&#55357;&#56861; which you would need to moderate but can have as syns.

Good luck and I'm sure the lovely ladies here will be helpful.
