    6 weeks and lost 3lb's - is SW just not for me i wonder??

    Grapes are quite high in natural sugars, I only have them as a treat now and again and I don't have desert on a week day, if I feel I need more after a meal i'll eat an apple or have a cup of tea or coffee.

    Mint muller countdown !!

    I thought it was vile, so glad I only brought the 1 pot. Too much chocolate taste for me mainly as I dont like dark chocolate. Gutted Sainos have gone back for 4 for £2, i'll have to wait for Morrisons to bring back 10 for £2 again.

    Freezing mullerlight yoghurts!

    Dont let them freeze completely, about 2 hours will do (I put mine in when I start to cook dinner then remove it about an hour after I finish). In the summer I chop up fruit and mix with a yoghurt and freeze in ice lolly makers for an ice cream 'treat'.
