    Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

    I'm not sure if mine have had chickenpox, lol. The créche they go to had them a couple of months ago, my pair had all the pre spot symptoms, then DD had 2 suspicious looking spots and DS had 1... None the wiser as to whether it was the pox or not... haha My scales moved this morning, I'm not...

    Babybel burgers?

    These sound diiiiirty! Added to my must try list!

    scared that I won't succeed

    Seriously, well done! It's not easy to make changes from what you're used to, and you've ploughed in there and made loads, and coped really well with it. 2 year olds are like sponges, now is a great time to start instilling some great eating habits :)

    I think we should have a mass battering of scales. Mine are not moving either! They better in the morning, or there's going to be trouble. Probably for my OH... lol

    Exercise help!!!!!

    Hiya, thanks :) I've been going to the gym 3 times a week for a few months now, but was eating loads and loads of rubbish, convincing myself it was fine as I wasn't gaining.... lol. I actually like the gym, and my aim is to RUN a 5k park run before the end of the year. I tend to do a 15 min...

    Easter binge!!

    My kids are 2 and 3, we asked some of the more understanding family not to buy them chocolate, which helps , but they still got 2 eggs, a pack of those egg n spoon things and a big lindt bunny each. I don't give them much chocolate, they're still working their way through Christmas goodies...

    I know I'm still in the honeymoon period at the minute, but so far so good, I'm enjoying all the cooking of new things, and I'm in amazement most days that you don't have to slather food in butter/oil/cheese/grease etc to make it taste good :)

    Easter binge!!

    My kids were given a Lindt 200g bunny each, was just looking at them and thought how I'd like to sit and scoff one, checked the syns and it's 56.... That was enough to make me stop looking... lol

    Oh bum, now I wish I'd bought some! Lol
  124. Chipsticks

    Where can i get Hi Fi bars?

    Yes, the alpen bars are changing and will no longer be a hexb :-( I really like the peanut hifi bars. The rocky Road ones are good too, tried some choc fudge ones this time, nothing special imo. Not sure I fancy the new salted caramel ones!

    I suspect Alpen may see a drop in sales....
  130. Chipsticks

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    Urgh, I bought loads of the Alpen bars, I really struggle with what to have as my HEXb, so these are great, now I can't have them? *whimper*

    Ooh, love the idea of the curry loaf minis! Made it for the first time the other day, liked it but it was a fraction mild for my taste, so will add a bit extra curry powder next time I think. :-)

    Big Mac In A Bowl (Only 2 Syns)

    Ah, thank you. I did try this recipe, I found the mince mixture a little bland, but looking at the pictures I didn't do it right anyway, that's probably why, lol. Chucked in some paprika and enjoyed it. Will give it another go for sure :)

    Weighed in this morning as group was cancelled yesterday, -2.5lb, really pleased with that, even though it's for 2 weeks. One week on holiday, then 2 family children's birthdays and a meal out this week, was looking bad... lol

    Big Mac In A Bowl (Only 2 Syns)

    Has anyone who has tried this recipe tried the burger in a bowl one from the Fakeaways book? I'm wondering how they compare, the sauce on this is much easier and for the sake of one syn I'd rather save the faff, unless the SW one is better?

    Diet coke chicken

    Think I might try this recipe tomorrow, someone in group told me it's great :)

    NEW TO SLIMMING WORLD

    Hi there :) I started SW last week, it's all a bit daunting isn't it?!! Just had a week away so that won't help, lol. What are you struggling with? I thought chocolate/crisps etc would be what I struggled with, but it's fresh seeded bread from my breadmaker that is hurting me most... Haha...

    I love cocktails! I make quite large ones, with probably 3 or 4 different shots in them, plus 2 or more fruit juices.... I dreaddddd to think what the syn value of them are. On the plus side, I usually only need one to fall face first on the floor! Ha. :D
