    Warburton Square Wraps

    Have just discovered these yesterday and thought I would give them a try as an alternative to tortillas. Very filling and yummy (I find that some tortillas have a kinda plasticky taste to them). Had one today filled with tsp of low fat creme fraiche spread over it and then couple bits of...

    Philadelphia as HexA

    I use it as a sauce for my pasta (tagliateli) on a green day and use king prawns as an HEB so I get the best of both worlds! Add some mushrooms and it's soooo tasty! It has become one of my fav meals!

    Any one with PCOS

    Hi Carol As well as suffering from PCOS, I also have to deal with type 2 diabetes and yes I can sympathise with you with regards trying to lose the weight. Because of the diabetes, I have to include carbs in my diet, but it is "refined" carbs which I eat, i.e., brown rice, wholemeal pasta...

    Feeling de-motivated

    What about adding a little excercise into the mix? Nothing strenuous just add in a little extra walking each day, surprising how it can help. We were told that even if you are active, your body is used to that so you have to kinda up the activity a little bit to get the fat moving again. I...

    Psychic Sally's Big Fat Operation (Living TV now)

    Weighed In This Morning

    I had 3 Bowyer's sausages for tea one night thinking they were only 1 syn each (on a green day) but in fact they were about 4 or 5 each! OUCH!

    Arrrgghhhh!

    Hi JoRoger I had flask of home made soup for lunch at work, but it had lentils in it and I also had SW chips along with beans so I think I really would need to stick to green for today.

    Arrrgghhhh!

    Thanks Vixxter and Claire, I don't feel so bad now. I must have looked up the Bowyers ordinary sausages to get 4 syns each instead of the Bowyers less than 5% fat. If they only have 1 syn each, then I've only used 3 of my extra daily syns so I don't feel so bad now! Just in case though...

    Arrrgghhhh!

    Well what can I say, I've just blown 12 syns in one fail swoop but worst of all, I thought I was being "healthy" ! :doh: On way home tonight, I stopped off at Morrisons and took really strong notion for sausage, eggs, beans, SW chips for tea tonight. Not something I normally go for, but...

    Roasted veg

    I just spray some spraylight on a foil lined baking tray and then spread veggies on it. I then sprinkle some balsamic vinegar over them and another dash of fry light then mix them all together and bake for 25 mins. They never stick and taste yummy, so much so in fact, I've had them for my tea...

    Sausages.....

    Thanks Lindyxx, I shall have to look them up and see what other SW stuff they have. As for the Sainsbury's BGTY sausages, I have tried them and I felt they were the nearest thing to a real sausage. They also came out on top in the SW magazine taste test. (in one of the last two issues -...

    Red and Green (the point?)

    Hi Glenn I previously lost quite a bit of weight on SW but due to family bereavement and feeling sorry for myself I went a bit off track but now am back. This diet really does work hence my coming back to it. For me, I tend to mostly have green days due to being a Type 2 diabetic...

    Who would have believed it?

    Sadly I think is a sign of the times we live in. What once was a minority of disrespectful people now seems to be growing into a majority! :( There just doesn't seem to be any discipline or deterents with regards their actions. Lizabeth

    Sausages.....

    Must agree that the Morrison's Eat Smart sausages are really nice, especially in a casserole. They don't break up and have a really good texture. I've seen Joe's sausages mentioned in quite a few recipe threads. Can someone tell me where you can get them as I've never heard of them before...
