I chose the airfryer it is made by phillips and is more robust than the actifryer. I looked at both before buying mine and I wouldn't be without it.

I get my butter buds from Amazon. Just recently started using them and I wouldn't be without them.

Well done Laura, have a great week-end.

Last week 10st 1 1/2 lbs this week put on 1 lb 4 ozs now 10st 3lbs 2ozs, really fed-up. I am now eating off a small plate. I am going for a long walk after breakfast today. 9st 12ozs seems so far away.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to take up walking again. I usually alternate my days between original, green and extra easy.

Thanks for that. I havent tried it yet, looking at the preparation Thin Coconut milk 1 tbl to 175ml warm water, Thick 3 tbl to 175ml

I have just purchased Maggi Coconut Milk Powder where you just add warm water. I have no idea of the syn value, just thought I would give it a go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Done. Do you exercise? I am realllllllllllllly battling, at last WI I was 10st 1.8lbs but I seem to keep yoyoing +- 1 lb. I am really desperate to get down to 10 st. then onto 9 St 12oz

I have a Philips Airfryer, I soak the chips for 30 minutes in water to remove the starch, dry them off thoroughly, season them with spices, spray with fry light and the Airfryer does the rest, they are delicious.

I find the recipe is suffient for 6 people, so really the ingredients go further. I suppose it depends how hungry one is!!!

Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Quiche, with Rustic Courgette and Potato Cakes, both in the oven as I type. Hope they turn out ok.:eat:

I normally lose anything from 8ozs to 1 lb maybe its because I don't really have that much less to lose.

Been on EE for 5 days now, only lost 2 ozs this week. Starting to get really frustrated.:cry:

I started at 11st 10lbs, now 10st 2lbs trying to get to 9st 12lbs. I am finding it really hard to lose, I seem to yoyo up and down 8ozs here and there, I am now trying the extra easy plan to see if it works. Maybe my body is just on a plateau and needs a boost. :cry:

Thai Green Curry with Cod, mixed vegetables and Thai Jasmine Rice.:eat:

Spray the bird with fry light, season with whatever spices you like, spray again, sit on half a can of beer, roast at 200C for 20 minutes, reduce your temperature to 180C for a further 40-60 minutes or till cooked. It is delicious. Just be careful when taking off the can.:)

I buy my roasting bags at Morrisons by the kitchen foil, section. There are 10 bags in a red packet, approx size 250mm x 380mm can't remember the price, they can also be used in the microwave.

I do an orange twist to my rice pudding, by replacing some of the milk with the juice from 2 oranges and adding some zest to taste.

Had steamed cabbage, sprinkled with butter buds and lots of pepper. Yum :eat:

Quorn chili con carne with rice.

Hi Charl Young, Sorry about your dad. Don't give up on up on your SW venture, have you not got a friend that would maybe have the time to walk with you a couple of days each week? What plan do you use Original, Green or Extra Easy. I tend to alternate my days.

Just seen this post, my hubby and I also do SW from home. I also subscribe to the magazine, which I look forward to every 2 months. I have learned a lot from all the minimin posts. We weigh ourselves every Saturday morning, to try and keep us on track for the week-end.
