    Cant diet i love chocolate and crisps too much

    Oh noooo, apparently you can do them in the oven as well, but I've never done them like that, so I don't know how long they'd take....I presume the preparation is the same. What was wrong with yours? Paula xx

    Cant diet i love chocolate and crisps too much

    How about using your syns for chocolate, and when you get the munchies for crisps, make some in the microwave. They're technically free, because it's only potato's and frylight, but some people disagree and say that it's abusing food and that they should be syned. I personally think that as...

    I put half a pound on again this week *sigh* Getting fed up of the weight not coming off as it's supposed to now. This week I think I'm going to replace HEB bread with something else, and try to cut back on the fruit again and see what happens. Paula xx

    Cheapest alpen lights ?

    I was going to suggest the 99p shop too....although ours is a bit hit and miss as to whether they've got any in stock. I always tend to "bulk buy" things when I do my 99p shopping, that way I don't usually run out of the thing I NEEEEEEEED :) Paula xx

    Do you enjoy meetings?

    I'm a "stay to group" slimmer, and don't understand why people pay their money each week and not stay to benefit from it...it's all down to personal preference I suppose. I'm also a member of the social team, and absolutely love it! Unfortunately I go to a small group, and we are having...

    Wardrobe full of thin clothes?

    I do! Well, I'm down to a large carrier bag full now, and I am pleased to say that I can wear some of them now! The shocking thing is, that I've had them for years and years....a lot of them are from C&A's, and that shut down in 2000 :) All very plain and non-descript, so not the sort of...

    Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

    me...me...me! :) I always have been and always will be a serial weigher, and I just can't help myself :) I use them to track my weight loses (doh, what else would you use them for!), and if the scales aren't going down when they should be, then I make sure I look at my food diary to make sure...

    Onken yogurts

    I've already checked my recycling, and all 3 that I've eaten this week were the new ingredients....I just didn't notice the "now without sweeteners" message on the top of the pot when I bought them....which is hardly surprising when you're in a rush around the supermarket with a 2 yr old!

    Onken yogurts

    ....which is probably why I've put on 2lbs this week!!!!! I am ABSOLUTELY gutted at this change of recipe, as I am NOT going to waste my syns on yogurt....Maybe it was Muller that made them change the recipe so that they can retrieve all the customers that went over to Onken from Muller Lights...

    Does anybody know the syn value for a Greggs Egg Mayo sandwich on granary bread??? Might not have been granary, but it was brown with bits in it! lol. I wouldn't normally "eat out" but it was wayyyyy past lunch and I thought it was probably the "healthiest" thing there! lol Paula -x-

    Diet coke chicken

    I haven't made this yet, but with regards to the thickening issue, couldn't you use a mashed up potato to thicken it instead of using syns for cornflour? As I said, I haven't made it yet, so the potato thing might not work in this recipe. Paula -x-

    yummy mash

    my son usually takes over when I make mash, as he loves to get the electric whisk out and whisk it....he reckons that my mash is not smooth enough! lol ....mind you, his mash does taste scrum (although I won't tell his 13yr old big head that!) ;) Paula -x-

    Sw quiche!

    Is this because you don't like it? I can't stand cottage cheese, but when it's cooked in the quiche you can't taste it. I think I might try blending the mixture next time though, just to get a smoother taste....never thought of that before! lol Paula -x-
