Afternoon ladies. Doing a red day chilli and serving it inside roasted peppers. Just stuck what to put with it other than salad might fill a small bowl with iceberg lettuce add some veg chilli and hex cheese. Any other ideas anyone?

Red days are great once you get your head around them, you get two hex's as well so it's like treating to yourself to extra things.. good luck xx

That would be impossible haha... you could change cereal to a hex and count some of it as a healthy extra hahaha

Have fun Lou, I love camping but hubs keeps saying he's too old and eldest doesn't like people looking into the tent... I love just geting away for a couple of days like that though... too stressfull with that going on... Jen thats the hardest bit fiiting in exercise with the kids around...

Well done nik Gpuk cravings usually only last for 20 mins so keep occupied, or keep something comfort foody but free in the freezer for if you feel like that, set a timer for 25 mins and tell yourself you'll have it afterwards, by then you'll most likely be past the craving anyway so it...

Yay Jen must have been holiday bloat, although still waiting for mine to go from last year lol Lou it'll be star week and sometimes it takes a week for your body to catch up with weight loss, stick with it hun xx

Hello to all the newbies you are in the right place here xxx Just wondering has anyone ever tried the 8 hour diet where you only eat within an eight hour window? Looks interesting and the little I've read seems to say you can do it along side another diet if you want too

Hi Rae I;d start at 15 syns and see how you do, you need to think further ahead and if your weight loss slows you'll need something to cut back on, if you start on low syns you won't be able to cut back on syns..

If your sauce doesn't reduce in the slow cooker you can reduce it down in a frying pan, I've not tried it yet but I have wondered about adding five spice and honey (1syn per tsp I think) to the coke and making an asian style sauce I do a full cal version which is nice so I'm going to...

I'll add you back Jen xx Nice to know health professionals think it's okay to do 5:2.. I'm only 5 feet though Jen so I am overweight for my height, if only my weight matched my ankle and wrist sizes:giggle:

Right next weeks fasts will be a bit more difficult as we're going to be out next week a lot so can't rely on my ready meal when I get home, so looking for ideas to take out and about with me, what do you guys eat? Other than salad I'm stuck, I've got a recipe to try making kebab meat from...

Could be any reason why it's up don't forget it sometimes takes a few days for losses and gains to catch up with the body WI after yesterdays fast day (I actually forgot yesterday was a fast day so was confused why the scales were showing a good loss) and I'm 5lb down since Tuesday I know...

Morning ladies... Jen and Incurez brill weight losses, I think the 5:2 must be shaking things up a bit, my physio yesterday suggestedI tried it just finished my 3rd week and finally my weights moved a little bit in the right direction.. 5lbs off for me this week but part of that is what I...

I weigh after fast days too it does make a difference, obviously you'll weigh heavier after a feast day anyway but over a period of time I guess weight will show a loss regardless of when you weigh in. I like my WI day on a Sat as it keeps me on track on a Friday night and motivates me for...

Hi Alycyn I just posted todays above and this was Mondays diary Today fast day Free drinks.... SW free tomato soup 47 cals per bowl dinner 266 cal Turkey stir fry 100g Turkey Courgette and carrots sliced into ribbons "Noodle" style 25 g Noodles 100g tinned stir fry vegetables soy...

Todays fast day SW Free soup 40 cals Tiny taste of Kebab meat and it was just a taste ;) homemade quorn cottage pie with pan fried cabbage 265 cal Snack later before bed 2 ryvita with Marmite 78 cals options hot chocolate 40 cals Drinks hot water, black coffee, pepsi max, tea

Made quorn shepherds pie in the end with pan fried cabbage.. which came in at 265 calories believe it or not.... nicer than a ready meal tasted too and the same amounts of cals :eek: 100grams quorn mince (cooked with oxo cube paprika and onion powder with a little hot water to stop it...

Crumple a dry stock cube over the quorn before you cook it add paprika then turn the gas on and keep turning it until cooked, I only buy quorn on special offer as it is expensive. The cauliflower rice is simple you just take a floret and kind of run the knife over it sawing at it almost so you...

Quorn sausages and mash hubs could have meat sausages if he's doesn't like quorn and you could have extra veg, shepherds pie made with quorn using oxo cube for gravy. Chicken curry with Cauliflower rice for you, you only really need tinned toms and spices for the sauce with a little plain...

I usually take some ham and cous cous or chicken breast with me to McDonalds if I'm taking the kids and order a Garden side salad and diet coke, then slip my goodies in whilst no one is looking... If you're taking the kids out for a treat Burger King is a good option as one of the childrens...

I think my body is doing the same I'm rarely hungry in the morning, even on my feast day yesterday I wasn't actually hungry til late on... wondering if it's because my body is expecting the usual food it gets at this time of day..... distracting myself with internet and housework whilst...

I'm sure I'll make it over 1250 once I'm feeling better ;) I was thinking of when I'm not doing 5:2 diet, it's easy to loose track what you are actually eating on Slimming World sometimes...

Sorry I meant to say Happy Birthday Lou have a wonderful day xx Right off to youngest Daughters school she has a dance performance this morning yay xx

Fast day for me today, not sure if this fasting thing is agreeing with me though in the stomach dept if you knnow what I mean, but I'll stick with it and see if it settles down a little... Just sorting out my fast menu for later, it is nice not having to think about food all the time.. Had a...

Thanks Toni thought it was a little strange she hadn't posted here for a while, one of my phones is exactly the same it only lets you read grrr... Well done Sara thats awesome 4lbs off Lou I'm te same awful about my water intake I should be drinking more anyway, once you get into the habit...

Right stuck to my fast day yesterday, scales showd 3lb down which is nice even though we know it's not actual true weight loss as such, always a nice boost ;) Still feeling ill today so taking advantage of not needing to stuff my face even though it's a "Feast" day.. So far it's a SE day...

Hi the 5:2 diet is two days fasting at 500 cals and then what they call 5days feasting where yoou can eat whatever you want, not that I'm intending on eating like crazy, my losses haven't been good for months so I'm hoping a couple of days fasting per week and then following SW the rest of the...

I'm the same on holiday we either eat out or have ready meals and by the Thursday I'm ready to cook again lol

Thankies, fed up of it dragging on now, had a major coughing fit both on the bus and BHS today... sooo embarrassing, everyone was trying was looking and the more het up I got the more I couldn't stop coughing....

Not really feeling hungry today with this bloody virus, so no idea what to make for lunch or dinner... just blummin realised I forgot to pick my salad up arghhh Doing meatballs and pasta for the kids.. hubs wants spag bol, but not sure if I fancy that myself

I do a simililar one as thumbellou but put pureed veg for the kids, so it's a good way of getting superfree in if you don;t like veggies, I stick purred carrot in and the kids don't even realise

Looks scrumptuous happy birthday chick xxxx
