In a gangster type accent, hah I always think of it if I ever consider having non SW chips! Could do with a few more sentences along the same lines about cake lol.

haha i love that!!

Today I've been a bit silly and didn't really have a breakfast. All I had was a banana. I love egg and toast for breakfast and we'd ran out of bread (although hubby failed to tell me this until this morning) so I begrudgingly took just a banana into work.

Once I'd finished work this afternoon I had a few bits... Muller... Hartleys No added sugar jelly (0.5 syns) mini block of cheese (healthy extra)

I'm excited for my weigh in tomorrow but a little part of me wondered "what if you've got it all wrong and you've put on this week?" Eek - don't want to have that thought again!

I shall post again after the WI.

Just remember... We can do it!

Yes we can do it, have a good day

Congratulations! That's a brilliant loss and you've clearly worked hard for it x

Just a quick update as I'm doing this off my phone... I'll update my stats later...

2.5lbs off for me and 1.5lbs off my hubby that brings us both to a one stone and one pound loss in a month!

I got the Slimmer Of The Week award and he got the Slimmer Of The Month award today!

Yay x

Still buzzing from this morning's weigh in.

Rob & I often talk for at least an hour after the WI about how well things are going, how much we love SW and that it really is just learning the basics on which food types to limit (dairy, bread, etc)

I'm really enjoying the feeling of slight hunger, not severe hunger but just that ever-so-small space in my tummy. Its so much nicer than to feel like i'm constantly 'inflated' !!

My first target on my phone was to get to 18st 4lbs by today, 30th August. I am 18st 3lbs today so thats good because its one pound less to lose in the next month. I'm not sure how much i'll be able to stick at my targets so thats why I have two (one for a stone lost a month and one for 8lbs lost a month - 2lbs a week) so as long as i'm somewhere between the two i'll be happy.

Anyway - people have been talking about making quiche with the Batchelors Pasta N Sauces so i'm going to have a bash at that in the next week.

+++ Stay Positive Everyone +++

WE CAN DO IT !!

Way to go!

let us know how the Quiche goes - That sounds nice, I'm running out of ideas!

Well done to you and hubby! You are both doing brillantly.

I shall do - I'll be updating my diary regularly.

I'm no chef but maybe I should put down some of my meal ideas... (not that they're anything fancy)

* Batchelors Pasta N Sauces (particularly Mild Cheese & Brocoli (1 syn per pack & HeX A for milk) or Tomato, Herb & Onion (free)
I will put the pasta with a nice piece of tender chicken and some vegetables. I also put mushrooms (SS food) and onions with everything.

* Spag Bol (without the spagetti because its just too fiddly to eat!! )
Mushrooms, Onions, Extra Lean Mince... Fry Light in a pan... once they're cooked sieve a tin of tomatos (to get rid of the extra water so its not swishing around your plate) and put in the frying pan as well with around 10 tablespoons of passata... add a couple of shakes of worcester sauce and some herbs and serve with pasta. We love it !! If you still have your HeXa then lob some cheese on !!

* Diet Coke Chicken
Here's the You Tube Video - serve with Slimming World Chips its like a sweet sticky chicken - slightly BBQ style.

* Cottage Pie
Mushrooms, Onions, Carrots, Extra Lean Mince... Fry Light in a pan... once they're cooked add around 8 tablespoons of passata... add a couple of shakes of worcester sauce and some herbs. Boil Potatos and mash in some Laughing Cow Triangles (Extra Light is Hexa for 6 !!) and serve in singular portion dishes - hubby loves it !!

* Extra Special Cheese & Tuna Jackets
Once the potatoes have been cooked in the microwave and we put them in the oven to crisp up... cut in half, scoop out the middle into a bowl and mash with your HeXa cheese and maybe salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture back in skins and add a tuna & mayo layer to each one (or tuna & salad cream) for a couple of syns !!

* Chinese Style Turkey & Rice
We buy plain turkey (usually three meats for £10 in Asda or Morrisons) and add Five Spice to it and serve with Batchelors Rice and some Super Speed Veg.

* ICE CREAM IN ANY FLAVOUR!!
Open your favourite flavour of Muller (or any other free yoghurt!) and whack in a tubberware and then into the freezer. Apparently the Vanilla with Chocolate sprinkles is like a luxury ice cream and the mango and passionfruit one is really refreshing!! Also it lasts longer !!

* Mini Pizza
Wholemeal Pitta... Tomato Puree (I know it has syns but cant think off hand) or passata (Free but a little more runny) HeXa Cheese... and whatever toppings... bacon, mushrooms - whatever !!

I hope these are useful for someone... As I say i'm no chef but i'm learning !!
