Is it to late to join? I've been away from the site for some time, just come back as i am back on SW and am sick of yo-yoing up and down a pound! Needed something to keep me on the straight and narrow so came back for some inspiration and found this thread. I would love to lose 20lb

Thats it! Fantastic, thankyou all so much , and trust me you really should try it, its delicious. Just simmer the pork in the sauce until it goes sticky, it takes a bit longer than they say. Thanks again

sound delicious but not the one i had in mind. I know there was lime juice and soy sauce but cant remember what else went into the sauce! Its got to be at home somewhere i'll just have to keep looking. Thanks for replying.

hi, i was going to make a recipe from an old magazine for a sticky pork/ chinese type dish served on a bed of stir fried cabbage, but i've lost the recipe. i don't suppose any of you kind people know it do you?

Hi everyone another 1lb for me this week, didn't reach my target but still pleased with my loss.

Hi evertone 1.5lb for me this week and my 1 stone award, at last. I'm definately taking the scenic route!!

Hi everyone 1lb for me this week.

Hi, just another 1/2lb for me this week, what is the matter with me. I've not been using the site very much this last couple of weeks, i think i'll have to come back for some more inspiration and a kick up the bum! lol

Hi everyone, sorry i forgot to fill in last weeks weigh in, nothing great to report though STS last week and again this week, big let down. MUST TRY HARDER!!

Hi , just 0.5lb for me this week. Don't really know why maybe it will show next week?

Fantastic! Have a great holiday and don't think about your weight, you know that once you get back you can sort out any little gain.

I'm a chef, surrounded by food all day long!

I got a tear in my eye reading your message. Good on you girl. I know how you are feeling its as if somebody suddenly flips the light switch and you can see a brighter and slimmer future ahead of you . With such inspiration how can you possibly fail? Doing it for YOU is the best reason in the...

Hi everyone, STS this week for me:cry:Must try harder!!

I'll try the recipe out at the weekend , if it works i'll put on to the recipes thread, might need a bit of tweaking.

Heres a tip off READY STEADY COOK Fry your egg in frylight untill the white is just setting, add 1tbsp of water and immediately cover with a lid (i use a plate-it warms it ready for you to eat off then) The top of the egg will be cooked in about 30 seconds but the yolk stays lovely and runny.

I did try to make them this way but they turned out really powdery(spl?). On another site it was suggested to make an italian meringue where you whisk the eggs and sweetener over a pan of simmering water, this usually gives a denser meringue when you are making it with sugar so might work, i...

Hi i made a lovely low syn cider sauce to go with pork for supper today, thought i'd share it with you all. just 2.5 syns for 2 portions Serves 2 1 pork fillet (tenderloin) 1 small onion(finely chopped) 1 garlic clove (finely chopped) 4 mushrooms (sliced) 1/4 pint dry cider 1/2 tub quark...

Well done you. We've got a couple of men in our group but they've never gone quite that far to get a weight loss! Thats real commitment to the cause.:)

Sounds lovely, i tried something similar last week but like you i think i needed more sweetener. The only thing i did different was used HEXB(28g) of kellogs all bran crunchy oatbakes crumbled in the blender for the base instead of the digestives. I added choc options to mine. OOOHH CHOCOLATE...

I stuck with SW all through my pregnancy and ended up 10lbs lighter the week before i gave birth to when i got pregnant! Mind you i was about 3 stone overweight to begin with.

I was just going to say the same thing, thats exactly how i felt when i was pregnant. Might be worth taking a test?:confused:

to feel sexy again :o

Hi everyone, just 0.5lb for me this week but not unexpected as star week so not so bad.

See, that wasn't so bad was it? Most people show some fluctuation at TOTM, if you stay on plan this week i'm sure you'll have a great WI next week.

How did you get on?

If you've just eaten breakfast and had a drink then that 1/2lb could easily not show by 10. I would eat or drink nothing else now till after you weigh. But hey whats 1/2lb, could just be water retention and you'll see a great weight loss next week if you stick at it. Good Luck.

:clap:Hi everyone 3.5lb for me this week, i'm ecstatic! This challenge has really made stay on plan this week. Here's hoping for a good week ahead.

:girlpower:He He HE :roofles: Very good, keep them coming

yep

Thats what i was told by their rep that visits the supermarket where i work.

I have weetabix for breakfast most mornings but not the normal way with milk. Many moons ago when i joined SW for the first time one tip was to pour water from the kettle onto the weetabix until its soft, top with a splash of milk and candarel and away you go. This way i save a HEXA as i like to...

:happy036:Fantastic. Shame you had to feel poorly though. XX

i tried WW too but was always hungry, i only lasted 4 weeks! Did you know that WW is owned by Heinz and is run just to sell their WW branded products :eek:

I know i am FAT and have no problems using the word to describe myself, but i can also see how it could be offensive or upsetting to some people, so i usually say 'larger lady' if i'm describing somebody else. As for obese, now thats another matter, to me it is such a medical term that it makes...

Hi, i made this last night and it was lovely but a bit on the dry side, 2hrs seems a long time for chicken has anyone else tried cooking it for less time? Even saying that it was a really tasty dish.

1lb a week is 4stones in 12 months, now that can't be bad can it?

HI, the extra lean corned beef (smaller tin) is just 4 syns for the whole tin. I use it to make the corned beef quiche,whole thing for 4 syns less than a syn a portion, well worth it in my eyes.

Hiya make sure if you buy the EAT SMART sausages from morrisons that you buy them from the chilled cabinets as they are free on red or extra easy, don't make the mistake of buying the EAT SMART FROZEN sausages as these are 5 syns each. I found this out last week after a 4lb gain!!!

The smaller tin of lean corned beef is only 4 syns for the whole tin. I use it to make the corned beef quiche from the old days. Makes about 6 servings so less than a syn per serving, with beans and SW chips on extra easy, YUM YUM.

:rotflmao: thought it was a bit deep at first, then couldn't stop chuckling!!

Iknow just how you feel, but stick with it and you will see results. Treat each day individually, every day you stick to the plan is a great achievement and concentrating on just today is an easier goal than thinking in terms of a week. Before you know it its WI day again and you have stuck to...

Hi, i'd love to join this , something to focus my mind. Its all to easy to miss the syns if noboby sees you eat it ! Put me down for a realistic for me 14lb please. Thusday WI here

I made the lemon mousse for pudding on sunday, i was hoping to have enough for a couple of days but it was so delicious that the family demolished it at one sitting! If you haven't tried it yet it really is worth the effort.

i use the hellmans extra light mayo with a tsp of tomato puree a 1/4 teaspoon of sweetener and a 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, to me this tastes just like seafood sauce from a jar!

Hi have you tried the spray ceaser salad dressing from frylight its really lovely .

hi, you can get it from Holland & Barrett as well but its dearer there.£1 a pack of ten at class. It is a very high fibre crispbread.

Thankyou, someone made it for a tastin last week and it was scrummy, thought i had the book but can't find it anywhere, off to buy the ingredients now!

i have made a flan with scan bran but not sure if its what you are looking for: Soak 5 scan bran in boiling water until soft, drain and use to line a small flan dish( i kept mine whole and did like a patchwork effect but im sure it would work just as well crumbled up and pressed into the dish...

Hi, does anyone have the lemon mousse recipe from the puddings recipe book, i seem to have lost mine! thanks in advance.
