I tried this last night and I have to say it didn't turn out too great! Found the flour was really difficult to mix into the fluffy eggs....and the end result was a little too eggy for my liking. A bit like eggy bread with a bit of sweetener added to it. Is this how it's supposed to taste or...

Hello Catfish! I am not a veggie but must say I do tend to eat a lot of veggie foods, especially when I'm at work. Recently I have been relying heavily on chickpeas and lentils. If I'm having a salad I just add a few chickpeas to it to bulk it out a bit....helps me to not feel like I'm just...

I'm living in Spain at the moment and I absolutely LOVE this tapa the way they make it down here in Seville. Only problem is I've just found out they put blended bread and oil to make the sauce taste soo yummy!! Even still, I made it without the above and it still tasted pretty good. Sorry I...

Thanks for that Linda, I'm going to give it a go this weekend I think! I love Spinach and cheese together...yum. Only problem I'm going to have is that the no fat cheese here (in Spain) isn't really like cottage cheese. it's more of a light fresh cheese and it comes in a plastic pot....a bit...

Haven't been giving updates on here for some time....but have done pretty well recently. Since moving to Spain about a month and a half ago have lost 8lbs!! That makes it 1st 8lbs so far....so got my 1.5 stone sticker and my club 10 in the last few weeks. Only an online member so I'm having to...

Thanks for that everyone. Yeah, there is a Lidl here. So how exactly does it work with the cereal? For example I can get normal Special K here but not Special K sustain. Is that ok? Or does it have to be Sustain? I can get bran flakes so guess that's another option too. Think I'm going to...

I was wondering if I could get some advice about healthy extras. I've recently moved to Spain to work for the year and I can't get a lot of the branded cereals/cereal bars/cheeses/soups that make up the Healthy Extras list. I once heard that a HEXA or HEXB is 6 syns. So therefore would it be...

To be honest I'm not 100% convinced that Alpen light bars really do contain a lot of healthy fibres. the strongest thing I can taste is the sweetener! Don't get me wrong I do love them, but if we are talking about being "healthy" by including fibre I'm not sure that Alpen Light would necessary...

I lost 2lb today much to my shock after eating quite a lot at a wedding this weekend!! Just goes to show if you write it all down and stick to the plan for the rest of the days then it does still work! 2 more pounds till my 1 stone.....hopefully get there by next week. WELL DONE EVERYONE!!!!

Yes, I think I will probably join slimming world online as I can work out syns for spanish brands. Not looked into the online food diary thread but definitely will do! Thanks for the advice :-) xx

Did anyone see this this morning? They were talking about how losing weight changes your personality. So perhaps you were more outgoing and had more fun before because you weren't so strictly watching your food all the time. Or maybe you feel less attractive cos you loose your curves and your...

Good luck on SW Turkey style! I am in a similar position of living in Spain and not having a SW group. I know it will be a bit harder but I'm sure we can do it with the support of each other! My mum is Iraqi and she has been transforming all her recipies for me using FryLight spray instead of...

Hello Everyone! I've been back in London this Summer as I was teaching English in Spain last year. All the tapas and vino got to me and I ended up reaching my heaviest weight to date so I decided to do something about it and joined a Slimming World group. So far I've lost 10lb in 5 weeks and...

Thanks for the advice! That does sound like a good idea. Yes, I think I went down a very slippery slope with eating out and having tapas every night after work! So will need to get more creative in the kitchen this year. My favourite are tomatoes...they are so fresh and tasty! Anyway, fingers...

Thanks for that. yes, I had heard of this and wondered if anyone had tried it! It does sound a bit odd but I'm willing to seem like a complete crazy person if it means I don't put on weight whilst in Spain! Thanks again x

Hi guys, my first post on here, so hello to everyone!! :D I am soon to move to Spain to live and as I was living there last year I know that they don't sell lean or extra lean mince :cry:. Some friends have said that I could drain the mince once it's cooked to make it syn free. Does anyone...
