Ooo good luck for Saturday! I think I might use your idea of having a yoghurt with breakfast, my Alpen light is getting a bit boring on its own!

laceandlunges · 30 April 2015

Thank you! When is your weigh day?

I'm not a big morning eater. If I have porridge for breakfast I don't feel hungry again until around 3pm so I prefer something more picky.

Jessieh90 · 1 May 2015

I'm not either really - I only eat brekfast because I know that it kick starts your metabolism for the day! My WI is a Friday morning (I weight at home don't go to group). Lost a pound this week so not too bad! Fingers crossed for your half stone this week!!

Those brownies sound lush! Have you got a recipe? X

laceandlunges · 6 May 2015

I got the recipe from @kindplates on IG.

6 eggs separated
55g cocoa powder (9 syns)
100g sweetener
1 tbsp vanilla essence

Mix all ingredients except egg whites together.
Lightly whisk the egg whites then fold into the mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180° C for 25-30 minutes.
Cut into 9 brownies for 1 syn per brownie.

They were a little too sweet for me and tasted much better while still warm. Once they had cooled the texture was a little 'eggy'.
