Hi ladies, Here's the recipe from one of the SW magazines. It week it a little and add a bit extra stick as otherwise it's a bit salty. If you don't want so much fluid, maybe just add less fish sauce 1L chicken or veg stock (1.75L) 4 banana shallots, thinly sliced (1/2 red onion) 2 large red...

If I don't have cereal or porridge I like to save my milk for a hot chocolate in the evenings. Then I would have 2 scrambled eggs and beans (microwaved) and some fruit. Or an omelette with lots of veggies and some cheese! Eggs are a godsend in slimming world!!!

You could make breakfast 'muffins' actually it's just mini SW quiches. Eggs, cottage cheese/quark and whatever fillings you like. Then divide the mixture in a muffin tray and bake until set. Can make a batch and then store in the fridge. Eat hot or cold.

Sunday- sushi restaurant Monday- Thai red chicken and veg curry Tuesday- lamb veg and potato in slow cooker Wednesday- SW burger, SW chips and salad Thursday- chilli and garlic crab linguine Friday- Black pepper chicken and rice

This sounds exactly like me!!! I started4 weeks ago. I lost 7 1/2 lbs in first 2 weeks then the 3rd week I put up 1/2 lb. if anyone told me they put up 1/2 lb I would say, it's fine you'll lose next week! But at the time I was really gutted and disheartened for a few days. Then the next week...

Hi there, Does anybody know the sun value of a bottle of Kronenbourg Blanc?? My new favorite drink!!

Well done everyone!! Great losses!! My weighin is Friday! I'm so nervous after my 1/2 lb gain last week as I did have a free flow wine and bubbley event on Sunday :-( I just can't resist the bubbles. Fingers crossed.....

I LOVE eggs....any way at all!! You can make SW frittatas filled with tons of different veggies!! Soooo good!! And it's all free!!! Boiled eggs are great too. I like mine mixed with 0% Greek yoghurt and some mustard. Piled ontop of a baked potato. Yum! Once cooked they can keep for up to 5...

Yeah it looks gorgeous Spanx. I've made so many dishes from this book. Great buy!! I just rejoined SW again a few weeks ago so will have to start making them again. Sweet and sour and chicken and sweet corn soup are sooooo good!!!

I add tomato purée and a bit of Worcester. Was so yummy. My hubby LOVES them!!

Just cooked the black pepper with chicken. Was gorgeous. I added onion red and yellow peppers. Was so tasty. My hubby loved it too :-) Maybe I'd add a little less pepper next time. Wowsers!! But in a good way :-)

Hi, I've made it several times. I have the Asian SW cook book. It has lots of gorgeous Asian dishes. My hubby can't believe they are SW too!!!! Yeah it is even thinner than the authentic Thai curries. Because of the chicken stock. Normally you would have more coconut milk and much less...

Hi, Does anybody know how many syns are in a bottle of Kronenboirg Blanc. It is seriously delish. Just wondering if it's worth it?!! I know pale ale is 3.5 syns per 250mls. It looks like a pale ale but because it's slightly flavored it could be more??!! Thanks!!

Just bumping this as I am jumping back in the band wagon after the birth if my baby. Still in China, so thought maybe worth a try. Anybody doing SW in China????

Diced pork fried in fry light until crispy then added courgette, red and yellow pepper, onion, mushrooms, Thai basil, chilli, garlic and ginger. Splash of soy, lime juice and sweetener. And served wrapped in crispy lettuce leaves! Yum yum yum!!! And all free!!

Hi catbird thin, I often just use the light laughing cow triangles as my HEXB. It still works out really tasty.!!

LOVE it!! I would pretty much eat something from here every day!!! I love the chicken and sweet corn soup. Soooo tasty!! Nicer than takeaway versions!!!

Thanks Allimac! I ended up using the fat free natural yoghurt mixed with beaten egg. It worked a treat. Only problem is cos its yoghurt it really needs to be served immediately. Had some the next day for lunch. Was nice but sooooo much better eaten straight out of the oven :-)

I just counted as 1/2 healthy option A. My hubby had it too and loved it!!
