    Side effects..

    If that is a side effect, what is the medication actually FOR? It's function is to rid your body of excess waste through stools, so if it is doing that, then how is that a side effect?

    Side effects..

    I'm glad you know what i mean :) I've seen many posts saying Mr T is a side effect. It's not, a side effect would be rashes or headache or another thing that is not meant to happen xx

    Side effects..

    I hesitate to call tangoing a side effect of Xen. It's not IMO.. it's the function of them, just as the function of paracetamol is to get rid of pain.

My bungalow was built in about 1925 or so, and is on an estate designed for old people (lots of two bedroomed bungalows peppered with a few three beds), so I'm pretty sure at some point in it's time someone will have died or gone batty here.

    Planning damage limitation in advance!

    chicken kebab without the garlic mayo! I've had this a number of times and never had a visit from Mr T. The mayo is the worst bit - salsa is fine, the salad obvs is, and it tends to be chicken breast done on a griddle.

    Kick up the bum please

    Could a lot of it not be water retention due to the op? I know its slightly different but I had a long difficult birth with my little lady resulting in a *lot* of blood loss and an operation, and within 24 hours I had put a stone on in water. Once I was on the mend the water retention went though x

    me too! I've been drooling over it for weeks. I took the plunge today and it worked out at 1.5 syns per portion (I made it for two of us). It would have been 0.5 if I hadn't forgot to buy frylight this morning!! I needed a teaspoon of oil to cook the meatballs in :) My hubby was impressed too...

    Philly Meatball Pasta This sauce made with philly extra light, wholemeal pasta and normal extra lean mince meatballs. Lush!

    MEATBALLS!!! HELP!!!

    Update. I tried this one Philly Meatball Pasta tonight and it was really really lush. I used 100g Extra Light Philly between the two of so it was 1/2 HEXA. I used my own meatballs too rather than sausages :) Really really yummy, for only 1/2 a syn!
  186. joclairey

    You know when youve been tango'd

    Lol it was the vodka that made me steal the pizza. I have drank the old vodka plenty of times since :)
  187. joclairey

    Damn you school holidays...

    I refer you to my sig :) 1lb loss is great, a healthy diet should see you loosing 1-2lbs a week :)
  188. joclairey

    Alcohol?

    I still drink! I don't find alcohol makes any difference to me. I only reign it in now as I have a small person to get up for and I'm trying to keep to my slimming world syns. There is no fat in alcohol of diet coke so I fail to see how it would make any difference, other than the usual fact...
  189. joclairey

    You know when youve been tango'd

    it's only happened to me once, and that was after stealing some pizza of hubbies after a few too many vodka and diet cokes :)
  190. joclairey

    does anyone on here ...?

    Butters - just an aside for you. I suffered with PCOS right up until i was pregnant.. I found loosing weight very difficult indeed, and was on metformin for getting on for 10 years. I actually didn't find it hard to conceive (the hubby is convinced he must have super sperm :rolleyes:)...
  191. joclairey

    Wish me luck....

    I tend to find that cheese is ok, providing it is mixed with plenty of zero fat stuff so the overall food is low fat if you get my drift? I rarely get tangoed and have had LF cheese just about every day since starting the xen :)
  192. joclairey

    anyone on dukan with xen??

    I believe Dukan wouldn't work too well with SW from everything I have read about it. A lot of meat and fish has too much fat in it x You'd be better off with Slimming World or Weightwatchers x

    Superfree Rogan Josh

    to be honest we normally just have it like that with rice and a poppadom (a sharwoods one is 2 syns). Occasionally I cook some chicken and add it to mine, but hubby always just has that!

  216. joclairey

    Dinner disasters.

    I'd rather adapt existing recipes! Half my pleasure in SW is being creative with the free foods and HEXs to come up with amazing food.
  217. joclairey

    Cheesy melt burgers

    My burgers come in at less than a HEX! Around about 60grams per burger, but I like them quite thin :) Not that I would have them on a green day though, I have two, each in a HEB bun ;) Though It is food for thought.. I could have one in a HEB bun and have SW chips and tinned spaghetti with it!

    MEATBALLS!!! HELP!!!

    I normally make tomato and balsamic. Brown the meatballs, add garlic, peppers (if you fancy them) and onions to pan and cook for a few minutes. Add tub of passata or tin of chopped toms, some salt and pepper and a very generous slug of balsamic (I am never shy when it comes to balsamic) and...
  219. joclairey

    Syn Free Onion Chutney/Marmalade

    Gave it a go today. Used a 1/3 quantities with a wee bit less onion and some finely chopped carrot to make it a bit more 'branston'ish and a slug of lemon juice. Still warm but tastes quite moreish. Waiting for it to be cold as I have a HEXA cheese with it's name on it!!
  220. joclairey

    rice flavourings??

    Ooo I also do spicy tomato rice by cooking some normal rice up with a tin of tomatoes, some chopped onion and peppers and adding spices (you could add herbs instead the little one doesn't like rice?), tastes lush with chicken or prawns :)
  221. joclairey

    rice flavourings??

    I make a savoury rice pack into a kind of Egg fried Pilau by cooking it, and simultaneously cooking a scrambled egg in a frying pan till you get little golden bits and chuck the cooked egg into the cooking rice for the last few minutes. Syn free and hubby loves it!
