Hello Pete, I would like to make your Chicken Peanut Curry for a few people over Christmas. Can you advise me as to whether you double/treble everything in multiple batch cooking. i.e. double spices? Is it OK also to use uncooked chicken and cook in a slow cooker?

Yippee! I lost 1 LB this week. After 2 weeks of gain !!!! Mantra this week:- FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS !!!

The recipe sounds delicious!! Do you know if it is possible to re-heat the pasties after they have been cooked. It would be a great lunchtime alternative to salad when I am at work!!

This took a lot of courage I can tell you!!! After spending a long weekend in All Inslusive hotel in Corfu (got back yesterday) I went to class tonight thinking I had put on at least 4LB! After weighing I discovered it was only 2.5lb. What a relief! Now I have nothing barring my way to success...

BUM!!! Gained 1.5Lb this week. Its all my fault! Took to the wine bottle while sitting in the last of the summer sun. Probably got through 3 bottles during the week. I even missed my Zumba lesson.

Well done Breeza for being voted by the group to be Woman of the Year!!! I too achieved the title last night and I wasn't even at class!!! I am away at my sister's and weighed in at another class. My daughter phoned me last night and said I had a sash, pen and a bunch of flowers!! (she pinched...

Please don't get disheartened! I put on 2.5 LB on holiday but after pulling my socks up realised its not the end of the world and got back on plan. Although the bank holiday got in the way I managed to shift half a pound of it. I know it will go, its not a race! Good luck for next week.

I have used the scan bran in bolognaise, using quorn mince. It was mighty tasty!

I lost 1.5 Lb this week , making a total of 2 stone 8.5 LB which I am delighted with. Cannot believe that I have stuck to this eating plan for so long and enjoyed it, I normally have given up by now!! Off on holiday for two weeks, I hope to be able to maintain or perhaps even lose when I come...

Hi Twink We could be twins! I too wear orthotics in my shoes and have to wear wide 'clodhopper' shoes. I also wear Lipfinity lippy but the older I get the thinner my lips have got!!! If you dont mind I will add you as a friend so I can keep an eye on you!!!! Ha Ha!

Hello everyone, Thought it about time I started my diary, read most of them on here and added messages on several over the past 3 months. If you arn't too bored I will start my story! Are you sitting comfortably? My name is Jane and I am 60 years old and started my SW journey when I walked...

WOW!!! Just look at your waist! Amazing! Weel done you look fantastic!!!

Roast topside of beef, dry roast potatoes, new potatoes, carrots, runner beans, spinach, peas, swede and broccoli. Splash of gravy made from vegetable stock from the steamer! It was scrum-diddly-umcious!!!!

Roast chicken (cheated and bought ready cooked from Sainsburys, as it was cheap) New Potatoes, carrots, runner beans and peas.

I have just enjoyed HEb Special K with blackberries, blueberries and fat free natural yogurt.

I had a salmon steak last night and tried something different. I cooked it in foil and spread a laughing cow extra light cheese on top and added prawns and lemon juice. Was quite nice, but I will try Jeanette (Jen3) recipe next time.

Wow! I lost another 1 LB this week! I am so surprised after a weekend in Dublin and several Guinness. I did walk 19 miles in the 3 day weekend though, perhaps that helped!

I made a Chicken stir fry with pasta yesterday, enough for today as well. I used the Blue Dragon Chow Mein Stir Fry sachet (5 syns per sachet) Very tasty and very filling!

You are looking truly amazing!! Years and years younger as well!

Yes, you should have got your stickie at class and a big hand clap for your acheivement!! Well done from me anyway!!! Have you tried flavoured sparking water? Sainsburys do 3x1 lites for £1.20. I always have a stock of these by my desk and of course have a 'posh' glass to drink it out of. Good...

I tried a sample of the new butterscotch bars tonight and bought a pack. They do taste nice although there is a taste of, I don't know. ginger? in them. What do you all think?

3LB loss for me tonight!!! Whoop Whoop!!! one and a half stone sticker as well!!!!!

Good Luck today, all you Wednesday weighers!!! I will post my news later!!! Fingers crossed.

Bacon omelette, made with 2 eggs and 2 rashers of lean bacon!!

The walking boots from Cotton Traders are very comfortable. I have got quite wide feet and they fit well. Well done Coljack on your long walk! I find about 4.5 miles quite enough!

I went to the Vitality Show in Eatls Court London last week. It was absolutely heaving with woman (and a few men!) Weight Watchers had a huge stand and were selling goodie bags for £2.00 , brimming with things. Rosemary Conley also featured with a huge stand and Rosemary Conley herself! Not a...

I did laugh at your message. I had this thought of 3 laughing cows sitting in your fridge!!! Sorry, funny humour!!!!

Well done for this positive move to start the plan. This is the first step to sort out your life. You will find more energy and self-esteem very very soon. Good luck with your journey, we will meet you on the way!!!!

Roast Beef, Spinach, runner beans, peas, carrots & new potatoes! I also dished up an additional portion into a tupperware container for a scrummy lunch tomorrow at work!! Everyone will be envious!!

Are you sure those photos are the same person! You look amazing, Well done you!!!

Bit naughty today! Went to Brighton and stopped at a restaurant called Donatells in the lanes. Had preawn cocktail and spag bol! But according to my pedometer I have walked 16,877 steps!!!!!

Your middle and chin have disappeared!!! Well done, you look great!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this web site before, apologies if they have. Please check out this one! www.madaboutbargains.co.uk Jeannie, who runs the site lists all the supermarkets special offers and also other offers in high street stores. Well worth a visit!!!

Very true Welshcake!!!!

It was delicious JoC, What I didn't tell on an open forum is that I put Hollandaise sauce on the salmon and asparagus!! Oops, now everyone knows! I have just looked up the syn value and thankfully the amoun I had was approx 5-6 syns!!

Made an envelope of foil, put in salmon steaks and 4 large prawns, squeezed lemon juice and sprinkled with dried basil. Served with new potatoes and asparagus. Yum Yum Yum!!!

I prefer a proper pedicure really - the fish couldn't get the nail polish on my toes!!!

I had it done around Christmas time in Selfridges in London. My friend and I sat side by side and were the victims of curiosity from passing shoppers!!! It is just a craze really and although my feet felt lovely and soft I think it was the fact that they had been soaking in water for 15 minutes...

3 rashers of lean grilled crispy bacon with 2 dry fried eggs!! Yum Yum!

Only half a pound from me this week. A bit disappointed as I wanted to go under my 'next stone' (I weigh 16st and half a pound!!!) Next week I WILL DO IT !!!!!!

Hope these will make up for the loss of the toffee & pecan!!!!

You are looking fantastic, Well Done!

Lamb steak with mash potato, mange tout, runner beans, peas and carrots! Yum Yum!

Bought myself a swishy posh pedometer. It measures steps and can be put in your pocket or handbag! I spent the day at the Vitality show in London on Friday and after getting home clocked up an amazing 10832 steps. I wore it again yesterday and the total was only 5000 odd steps. Its great fun...

I have just had a hot crumpet spread with marmite!

Hello I'm from Redhill in Surrey. Between Londaon & Gatwick Airport.

Find a local Zumba class! It is fantastic and gives you a great 'BUZZ'! You sweat (pardon the expression!) like a pig and you get through at least a litre of water in an hour. The feeling after you finish is sensational! I am 60 and 16 stone!!!

My Saturday breakfast consisted of :- Vegetarian sausage, 2 rashers of bacon (grilled) Mushrooms, baked beans and a fried egg!!! Very scrummy!!!!

Hello! We seem to have about the same weigh loss and about the same to lose. I will watch with interest our progress!!! Jane

Special K Sustain, Blueberries & Blackberries covered in scrummy creamy fat free yougurt!

Another pound off for me!! I hope to get my stone and a half off next week! Please update me!!

I lost another pound this week chaps!!!!

Fantastic achievement Jacq!!! Did you win the weekly raffle as well!!! Hoping for my stone and a half next week!

I feel really greedy! I had prawn & crab sticks with lettuce, cucumber, tomato and beetroot, drizzled with fat free viniagrette. THEN Muller light with raspberries, blackberries & blueberries!!

2 lean rashers of bacon and 2 eggs made into a fluffy omelette

Whats for Breakfast today? Does it last you till lunchtime? Mine is Special K Sustain, blackberries, blueberries and fat free natural yogurt. Going to be a busy morning so I expect it to last till lunchtime, normally does! (Special K Sustain is being discontinued by Kelloggs!!)

I had a party to go to tonight. Didn't eat before I went and had skinless chicken drumsticks, a few prawns and several crabsticks. Sadly not a lot of salad available. Stayed away from samosas, breaded things and sandwiches. Think I did OK!

Think of the saving on shower gel! LOL

Natasha, my SW consultant told us that Kelloggs are to discontinue their Special ' 'K' Sustain. I wonder why I couldn't find them this week! I think they are scrummy and fab with fruit and fat free yoghurt.

Beef casserole cooked in slo cooker all day! The smell is driving me crazy!!!!

Feel I am walking taller not slouching along the road! Tum getting smaller , thank goodness. Others say my face and chest area is a lot slimmer. Brand new jeans bought in a sale at Christmas, purposely bought a size smaller at the time, now are too big!!! Whoop Whoop!

I tend to drink the Sainsbury's flavoured sparkling water by the bottle full!!! And yes I get tummy ache and unfortunately combined with all the fruit I eat, I get slightly windy!!! Ha Ha!

Hooray, I managed to reveal my Ticker line at last! Thank you Coljack!

I tend to put in fruit, bananas, kiwi, etc. As I haven't had the pleasure of being the SOTW YET!!! I don't know what other people put in!!!

I am a daily weigher as well! I have a SW weigh in on a Wednesday night so my daily weigh in on a Monday morning (after perhaps a little over indulging) is the most important! It gives me a 'smack round the face' to behave and get back on plan!!!

3 lb off this week Whoop Whoop!!!

Hooray I have lost 3 LB at last. After faffing around for the last 2 weeks (first week - put on 1.5 lb, second week STS) Please udate my site!!!!

Hi Tracey, Welcolm to Minimins, you will find great support from everyone on here. Ideas and advise are in abundance. What a shame you are embarrassed to join a group. Remember everyone there is there for the same reason! I waddled in to my first class weighing 17st 6 lb (my heaviest ever) No...

As all the others have said you are doing so well, don't be disheartened at all!!! 1.5 lb average per week is just on the button! I joined SW club on 12th January and have lost 15LB which I am delighted with!! Keep it up!!

My slo cooker was a wedding present 33 years ago! I use it at least once or twice a week. Sometimes at the weekend I put a cheaper cut joint of beef in it on Saturday evening and cook it all night. The only trouble is that it is so tender that it is difficult to slice!!! Yum Yum

I don't always have my 1/3 of a plate of free food . I often make a huge post fovegetable soup. Can this replace the 1/3 I am missing?

I cant seem to open the ticker line which I created on my site. It just appears as computer speak!!! Help

I nip from one job to another three days a week, very difficult isn't it!!!!!

I am eating a whole zippy bag of Sainsburys red grapes every day!!! Will I ferment into a bottle of wine!!!!!

Little bit of left over SW Bolognaise sauce with runner beans and mash pots - Nom Nom!!

Once I have posted the '50' posts - the world of Minimins is mine!!!

I don't remember the Christmas pud Hi-Fi. Our group are selling off the mince pie ones for BOGOF! Not keen, given them to the OH !!!

Been a naughty girl this week so I am pleased to get away with maintaining! As my old teaher used to say 'Must try harder' !!!

I am going to try a Fish Pie tonight. I am trying to run down my chest freezer so have found a random cod fillet and some smoked haddock. I intend to spice it up with prawns and peas. Might have to syn the sauce though, unless anyone has an idea?

I found out from my consultant Natasha last night that they are phasing out the scrummy Toffee & Pecan Hi-Fi Bar!! This is disasterous as it is my all time favourite!!!! I am thinking of buying all her stock and stock piling them!!!! :cry:

Good luck Michelle, I will join you!!!!

Alcohol especially Gin ! I have two or three most evenings!!! This going to be tough chaps!!! Last gin was 10.00pm Tuesday 8th March!!!

Complete transformation!!! You look amazing!!!!

I too have been going for eight weeks and have reached a kind of plateau. Last week i put on 1.5 LB! And this week i only maintained!! I am going to read and reread all by SW books and get into motivation mode ! My weigh in next week WILL be spectacular!!!! I will use this Panic Button if I am...

Well Done Twinkle, welcome! I must admit I find it a difficult forum to get to grips with!!!

120 eggs from me!!! Spooky as I eat 2 eggs a day

No wonder I put on 1.5 lb last week. Sainsburys had an offer on Pinot Grigio, my fav. Opened bottle, had a glass, had another, shame to leave the rest! 25.5 syns later!! oops! Stick to gin & slimline from now on!!

Oh you poor thing, I feel your pain! I put on 1.5 lb last week after choosing wine to drink instead of my usual gin & slimline!! Make today a flexi syn day. Draw a big thick line under today, follow the plan as you have been, Hope that your tests come through OK. Keep thinking positive, keep...

Spag Bol for me and the hubby!! Pancakes to follow, he had 3 I had one with WW low sugar blackcurrant jam!! Very tasty

Sorry about the delay! I tend to eat it just on it own, you can have it hot or cold. I take a wedge to work and have it with a cup of tea around 11.15. Don't get lunch unti 1.30 and my breakfast was at 7.00 am (long time to wait!!!)

Good morning! 7 syns per packet !

Oh my goodness, that pizza looks so scrummy, I am going to have to try this recipe!!! Thank you, Jane x

Linda McCartney vegetetarian sausages Hi! I too am not a great lover of quorn but I enjoy the Linda McCartney Vegetarian sausages. They are very nice do try them!!

I tried this recipe again yesterday , but this time I added grated carrot. Very scrummy!!!!

After reading this recipe this morning, I went straight out and made this egg fried rice recipe. I now have to resist eating it before lunch, it looks great, I will try it with some bacon as well!!!

My friend Pam has recommened this recipe, it is delicious and very filling. I would love to hear your comments and like confirmation that 2 wedges are your HEA Lentil & Cheese Wedges 8oz/227g red lentils 450ml water 1 large onion (I use red) Fry light 4oz/113g strong cheddar cheese, grated 1...

I have let the side down!!! I am ashamed to say that I put on 1.5 lb this week! I wasn't going to post this bad news but thought it better to get it out in the open. I know how I did this:- 1) Not enough water drunk throughout the day 2) On half term holiday last week, too near cupboards and out...
