Hi Takeawayqueen I've seen a scotch egg recipe on here using an actifry which I though was quite clever. You take the paddle out until the scotch eggs are "set" and then add the paddle to brown them evenly. I did diced potatoes sprinkled with piri piri flakes in mine last night. Delicious!

I've just bought a brisket joint and was wondering how to cook it. Thanks to your post I'm going to slow cook it so it was very useful, thanks! :D

Hi everyone, lost 2.5lb this week so I'm now in the 11's and hoping for my half stone award. I want that sticker :D I'm moving to the next forum where I'm sure I'll see you all very soon. xxx

I'm having pasta tonight. I chop up and dry fry smoked bacon, add loads of chopped courgette to pan so it soaks up bacon flovour. Take off the heat, add portion of cooked pasta and 2 tablespoons low fat creme fraiche (2.5syns for asda's own) to pan, stir and serve. Devine!!

Latest book says 100g smoked mackerel is 2 syns.

Hi everyone, lost 1/2lb this week. Was gutted cos i've been really good. Anyway I called at supermarket on way home and bought loads of fruit n veg. Just whizzed up some soup for lunch today. I will get into the 11's :mad: x

No offence but I'm gutted to still be here. Lost 1/2lb this wk so i'm now 12st exactly. I really really hope to be saying goodbye next week.

Well done Angem! Lost 1/2lb this week so I'm now 12st 1/2lb so if I lose 1lb or more it will be bye bye from me. Here's hoping!

Lost 1/2lb this week. Bit disappointed but just ran a 10k race this morning to try to beef up weight loss. Ailly 7lbs (3lbs lost - 4lbs to go) All About The Climb (4.75lbs lost- 3lbs to go) Ally89 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) Alyce 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Alycyn1980 8lbs (3lbs lost -...

Thanks Cruisedolly, I'll definitely look out for some as I love maple syrup, especially on porridge. I've not tried this total sweet yet but I'll be giving it a try on my saturday morning bowl of oats so I'll give a verdict then.

Just checked and it's 1.5 syns per sachet so that's not bad at all. I've got some rhubarb growing in the garden so i'm thinking of giving it a go with some orange jelly. I'd still prefer it with a buttery crumble topping and loads of creamy custard though! Lol

Thanks for that. I dont have a waitrose nearby but I'll look out for agar nectar, not heard of it before. Well done on the weight loss so far. Amazing! :clap:

A girl at my group last week said she stewed the rhubarb without sugar then added it to a strawberry sugar free jelly. I think she used a healthy extra cos she used a pound of rhubarb. It sounded lovely to me. :p

I saw liquid sweetener on a website selling sugar free syrups. Just been to Holland and Barrett and got some "Total Sweet" which staff there recommended. Its 40% less calories than sugar, made from 100% Xylitol (sounds like a Cold Play album to me lol). I'll give it a try.

Having read the thread about jelly sweets, maybe I should try Tesco cordial and have Pear Drop buns !:D

I made some chocolate buns using Pure Via sweetener and didn't like the taste. There was a bitter aftertaste. I've tried other sweeteners but find some have unpleasant side effects :ashamed0005: Has anyone tried liquid sweetener or can you recommend anything else?

Thanks guys!!! I've been inspired to cook burgers for tea. I've used extra lean minced beef, red onion, soy sauce, garlic granules and paprika. Mine look "rustic" :D . Got sw chips in actifry and large salad on plate ready. Sadly I've not got any gherkins left. Lurv them!

Hi everyone. Had my weigh in thurday, lost 2.5lbs so i'm now at 12st 1lb. I'm hoping next week will be a tearful goodbye to you all lol :cry: Jo x

Hi everyone Just re-joined class last night. Been trying at home but I'm rubbish - no willpower :cry: Enjoyed class and feeling really motivated so hopefully I'll do better this way. Does anyone know what's changed from the old green books to the new yellow one? :confused: Jo x

Well done everyone on your losses. I re-joined class had had my first weigh-in last night 12st 3.5lbs. I'm happy to join you all but hopefully not for long (no offence!!) :D Jo xx

Count me in too!! :flirt2: I'm re-starting at class this thursday so I'm gonna set myself 10lb to lose. It's very do-able I think. Good luck to all!! Ailly 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Ally89 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) Alyce 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Alycyn1980 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs...

Hi everyone What fab losses you all have, you're doing brilliantly! I'm just about to re-start, going to my first class this thursday. Keep kidding myself that I can do it without class but I've put about half a stone on since I stopped going. Will be joining you in the 12's shortly...

Another half pound loss this tuesday. Not really been focused this week. Got my head on now though! 30 day Shred DVD is on it's way to me as we speak!

Not heard of 30 day shred until I read about it on here. After reading what you all had to say I've just ordered the DVD today. How many inches have you lost?

Meringue nest, sliced banana and banana muller lite yogurt. Just 2.5 syns for meringue. Very sweet and lovely.

Hi everyone. Restarted yesterday. Lost 1.5lb this week but not really tried so hopefully will do better next week. Just been checking out the amazing recipes on this site. Cant wait to try them out. Good luck to all tuesday weighers for the week ahead. JOBUD x

Thanks for the recipe. Just had it for tea. Absolutely delicious!

I started out doing Weight Watchers for 2 weeks and lost 5 lbs but I was starving! :( Had a week doing nothing (except eating!) then joined SW class. Just had first weigh in and lost 1lb.So I've lost 6lb overall but only in my head (and on my scales):D

Thanks so much for posting this recipe, had some after lunch today and it was gorgeous:D. Even had to share it with non dieting workmates:cry: I think i'm going to try coffee flavour next, I wonder how many syns in an amareti biscuit.....yum!

Hi Pixar Thanks for the reply. You're right. I think the trick is to pick the best out of both without cheating! Jo x

Hi Emmaline Thanks for the reply. I think you're right and it's clearly working for you. I felt that if I'd carried on with propoints this week I would have given up by tuesday. I love to cook so I made some SW soup recipes and a lovely stew and filled up with healthy low fat food without...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. I've tried both WW and SW in the past with success but yo-yo'ed back up after a while. Ive just lost 5lb in my first 2 weeks back on WW but find myself yearning for the freedom of portion sizes on SW. I'm experimenting with doing 2 weeks SW now to see how it...
