Hello another vegan here lol :)

lol you get some great deals dont you! :)

Hi wana sub if you are still posting :)

lol I also get you on the chickpea thing, I was making chickpea brownies and they are not the best so tonight I made proper vegan brownies and they are amazing, so will be reserved as treats :)

lol thanks for that do u recommend them? are they expensive? any gluten free noodles :)

oh wagamamas! what are the vegan options there? I have never been but think there is one a silverburn near me? :)

well you know it is all a state of mind and if you are not 100% committed then it will be a really slow progress and I am saying this from personal experience here too but I have finally got my act together as health is way more important than a few good tastes in the mouth that last minutes or...

Yes I was just saying yest that if I had money I think an affordable vegan cafe would do fab in Glasgow cause many people are also dairy intolerant or egg intolerant so they could also go not just vegans :)

well done kim for identifying the cause :D

lol b&m good but so many times I have went back and they no longer do the item as its the kind of shop that gets stuff in bulk sometimes as a one off

Great loss well done and thanks vegan4life lol :D real comfort there and yes I get you on the excuses I get so into animal rights that I am afraid when someone asks me about veganism I am like "Oh dont start me!" and they have sad faces and they cant believe what they are hearing and what do...

well done, looks like 2lbs this week :)

lol aw thats great glad ur meeting is a good 'un :)

yes I agree I wanted a morning class too but none near me all evening :( but I am happier alone on minimins lol

body magic is exercise image therapy is the chat bit, hope you get a nice leader thats all that matters, I did not have one and hence never went back :)

Welcome everyone, I hope this time is the beginning of the end of trying to lose weight :)

yep sis its a weird taste although my hubby likes it melted, and I prefer the soya cream cheese but its fattenig still lol, you know I cant wait to be slim and say I am a vegan, no excuse for a fat vegan hahahaha, but really I want to look like I practice healthy eating and food ethics :) and I...

Im gluten and wheat free due to an intolerance but I could use some of the gf bread I just made, it could work :)

I checked if its just the plain usual burgers they are 0.5 syns each

oh thanks will have to try this. Any ideas to sub the bread crumbs?

:whoopass: thats better than boot up the ass lol

oh yum may I ask the recipe for the mushroom pate? I got mushrooms yest but its just the normal ones not the fancy ones lol :)

great, but you are getting good loses so you are fine :)

aye its turned out perfect :)

made the vegan friut cake, looks yum, in the oven now but did not have a loaf tin using a brownie tin and check it in 45mins? thanks for the recipe, so easy and I always wondered how to use chickpea flower in a cake. is it nice?

hahaha appetite for reduction :)

yes I want those books too but may just get afr 1st

sadly its true that most people would rather turn a blind eye for their bellies. but im not wanting any part in it anymore. makes me sick also the egg industry kill male chicks by grinding them live and they used in low grade meat products. male chicks are killed so brutally cause the dont lay...

hahahaha well cause me and hubby are best pals we think along the same lines and its just what I feel he feels and its good chemistry lol and we are animal lovers too and the horrific vids we saw on you tube really sealed the deal :( but :) on veganism. Modern farming methods are shocking and...

me? lol

oh yum thanks very much for cake recipe have lots chickpea flour in too lol. will try making that got plenty dates too. gotta get almonds n stuff

ok I am Colette :) x

thanks, yes I am into a top that was not wearable in january and its looser sice last week too so somethings happening eh :)

ok hope to try this when I get back from camping :)

yum did you blitz it?

yep same, and all the staff weighed in while we sat watching, at weight watchers the staff (me included for a while) weighed in last, so ignorant! class not for me at all, none of the members where particularily friendly either not a word out of most of them.

I have sts too! well a 0.2 lb gai but im counting it as a sts cause its rediculose really very annoyed as felt slimmer :(

yum how did you make onion soup? would love to try that! its terrible here too and we going camping for 2 nights! lol but we booked and wont get money back so at least tent bkig enough to sit inside n cook ;)

I use maldon too, do you wana know my real name??? :)

pretty much a sts despite the fact I felt slimmer, maybe even looked slimmer? lol very annoying indeed :(

yep I pretty much sts although I felt slimmer very sad indeed :(

welcome amanda and ditto on classes, what is it with all the c*** leaders eh!

Aw Redmel all the best, hope you are ok soo :) hugs

Hello :) hope you had fun

I am not a fan of foods processed or ready made stuff, chemicals and stuff in those noodles so make my own rice and use gluten free pasta and eat brown rice noodles they take 3 mins to cook, and great for you too :)

thanks ffynnon :)

Thanks, I can go its just really hard and dry (sorry!!!!!!) :) and dont feel finished but nevermind eh, I have just switched to vegan too so will hope this wont affect my weigh loss next week too lol

I know I hate gaining when you have bee good during the week, but my last "bad" weekend was last weekend and I am now a vegan so the switch could of cause the scales to be unfriendly while my body adjusts lol :)

hi i am reporting a gain this week and i am eating better so... will update if my constipation goes n scales move haha

i seem to be reporting a 1.6 lbs gain. feels like it was impossible but I have transformed my eating habits so..... :-( my eating habits are lots more fruit n veg lol but i can get constipated

looks great :)

no its oats (gluten free for me) and soya milk and 7 chopped dry dates, soak in bowl overnight and enjoy in the morning, would be horrible with water I suspect lol :)

it was me who replied twice before hahaha :)

no but it helps to have syns, if you are close to target and the lbs are slow coming off then you can choose not to eat syns, but they are helpful for like a splash of oil or some yogurt thats not fat free and some cheese, things to keep you healthy, you dont have to eat sugar as syns, I dont...

to clarify what you dont eat of the 105 syns then that can be used up until the following weigh day :)

welcome lulum you will do just great if you stick to the plan and come onto minimins, this is a great place for advice and support, it one of the reasons I can do it at home too :), if you like a treat day it maybe worth picking a weigh day and then every say friday weigh and give yourself 105...

Aw big hugs eatenmess, I hope things get better soon, I too get really down and lonely when hubby at work all day, we dont have any kids so just the pets lol, but I pick myself up and hope In always can :)

ok thanks I think I will just get this dehydrator anyway it seems to have all the things I need it for, flax crackers are a batter made with flax seeds and oter herbs n stuff n the dehydrator dries the batter out so that its a raw cracker :) , Vegan 4 life really got me going on this raw thing...

so may I ask about your dehydrator? could it be used for to make say the raw flax crackers and stuff or is it only good for fruit? :)

great teco you got there, thats the trouble with getting my tesco delivered online lol :)

fantastic! very happy, u aint chunky anymore then hahaha :)

FF really done the trick there lol :)

wow what a fantastic loss!!!! well done, you have done well this week eh! :)

sounds like you aint done too bad at all today, thats good :)

Aw Laura hope you perk up a bit, if you enjoy eating junk food and it cheers u up go for it but if you will be left feeling guilty and worse of then re-think, I am doing sw for a complete lifestyle overhaul not just to lose weight, and I avoid sugar and stuff as much I can cause its actually...

I found group rubbish really, so glad I got minis lol :)

love the gravy idea!!!! thanks for the tip :)

Aw welcome Persanta! great to see you have found us here at minis! hope you get on well with sw and get to goal! :)

Thanks, :) what lentils did you use, I have brown lentils and I have the usual red lentils that I use in soups

ohh again it all looks yummo! could I have the recipe for lentil pie please? :)

I totally agree with vegan4life too :)

I lost alot of that weight slowly and I have lost 9.8lbs since starting sw a few weeks ago, was calorie counting and stuff, I am a slow loser cause I like to have treats, I would do alot better if I did not have treat days, now I try use my syns for that and hold back syns during the week, which...

roll looks yum there! :)

Yes I have pcos and I am doing quite good on sw :)

I soak mung chickpeas and butterbeans but I usualy use tinned kidney beans :)

great, thanks :D I really wana make these this week so will soak some butterbeans or whatever and see how it goes, yum! :)

yum how did you make the bean burgers? :)

well done! its true by the way, slimming world is a bit of a miracle lol :) x

welcome crazy cat lady! great over a slimming world, I also stopped ww when the pro points arrived, total marketing ploy so people would have the buy books and scales and calculators and stuff, but thats just my guess, I like the old points system but I dont wana count points, much prefer syns...

Aw dentist was kind lol, well yeah a filling better than a tooth out though aint it, all that pulling hahahaha :)

fab loss well done :D

fantastic love the difference there! :) makes it all worthwhile eh

well done sprinkles what a great loss and lovely post :) xx

Woo Hoo!!! I lost 1.8lbs this week, very happy as I thought it was a sts week! :D

WOO HOO I lost 1.8lbs this week, very happy as I thought it was a sts week! :D

all the best :)

thanls do you then cook porridge as normal? x

great plan so sorry about your teeth there :( but may I ask what is magic porridge? lol

welcome bec the great thing about sw is that it allows treats so some people save syns for say the weekend then have treat day or on weigh day or something (not sure if that works all the time but its what I been doing, if the scales give me bad reading I shall rethink this plan lol) ts like...

oh great glad your enjoying it, I usually watch my portions and stuff, but I feel heavy again waiting to see what Friday wi says lol :)

look forward to finding out tilly lol :) but how weird is it that we put weight on soooooo fast? :(

yeah I can see how that would be the case, I do mainly green with fish as heb but sometimes it turns into ee cause I have more fish lol :)

oh heres hoping that this fills you up, very healthy though :D

catxscotch it most probs is the portion size, like I always say, just cause sw say its free or superfree dont mean it dont have calories in lol, :)

how long you going raw? how do you go about that and feel satisfied, do you need a dehydrator?

your food looks amazing! loving the pics there :)

I googled ff and it sounds terrible, people said they feel starved lol! and its a total last resort

aw you are still doing great, dont be sad :) whats sucess express? and ff? can you tell us a bit about that in a round about way? lol

yes draw a line, I also had a bad weekend, was trying to say that I have used all or most of my syns for the week ahead, but if I dont have any syns at all until friday wi then I may be really not happening lol, see how it goes! :)

wow laura what a great result, do you have a food diary? I would like to see that lol :)

I am exactly same as you eanceoil :)

well done thats fab eanceoil, I am wi at home too now and had a 5 days wi to adjust and looks like 2 lbs off for me aswell, so happy, we can do it at home! :)

yeah yum I really want some of that lol :)

great loss, a loss is a loss and if its just 1/2 lb then its still great! well done :)

ah is it calorie counting, thats a nightmare aint it lol :)

welcome mikimoomoo, so whats cc? lol :)

Yeah thats what I like to do too save syns, so maybe have treat day when I get weighed :)

WOW Claire thats some loss!!!! well done on that, must feel great! :)

Aw great glad you feel better! :D X

Aw yeah tilly heres hoping for tomorrow :)

try dates or something like that, lots of oranges, they make me go, pepermint tea thats agood too, warm water and lemon as soon as you get up to try get something moving...

Oh wow, your meals look amazing, thanks for posting all the pics up yum, I too am mainly green days but I am a pescatarian so eat fish too :)

aw great loss there well done. your doing something right lol :)

I have changed my wi to a friday as I no longer attend a class, suits me better :)

thanks fatbgone but I enjoy it more weighing myself, just ordered some nice digital scales on ebay, bargain, hope they good, they a decent make I think. well done on your loss too :)

And Laura well done thats amazing lose too :D

thanks guys! well yes I was stressing and all weird lol, had like minimal syns and then saved them for weekend and did not even use the 105, but I thought it was not recommended to save syns, its great that worked though :D

well I lost 4lbs!!!!! its amazing, but I will not be back at class, going it alone again, they are no help and I felt as welcome as a gaining a stone would of been! :( so I am much happier to weigh myself anyway, pick my own day and time, and no stress and anxiety stepping on the scales lol :)

I lost 4lbs!!!!! but I will not be back at class as it was chronic and I felt about as welcome 1 stone gain would of been :( are they supposed to not check my fit log and food diary too? nobody looked at it or even asked me for it :(

Juejon you can do it, no bother when you set your mind to it, I will wi at 5.30, and then decide what to do :)

thanks I will probs still do sw but without the stress over a weekend and waiting all day monday to find out!!!! It does me in, going tonight to see but this maybe my last, £5 a week plus bus fare to feel guilty? hmm not sure lol :(

well done, happy for your nsv :)

welcome catxscotch, so have you been losing weight by saving syns for weekend? thats what I did this week and feel terrible about weigh in tonight, fed up with classes already lol :(

aw juejon u know if I am not comfy at class this week I may very well be trying it alone again too, looked at scales and it appears I aint lost but I am a slow loser, not sure whats going on but I am still deciding whethere I want to be weighed every week by a stranger and feel guilty if I aint...

Oh well I will find out what I lost at 5.30 tonight, wish there was a morning class near me but nevermind lol. still appears that I have not lost, so its not goin be a good night but will report back later once I know what mrs sw scales have to say! :(

Hi how r u feeling today? X

Oh that is totally me. Panicking all over the shop bout monday. Feel like a nutter. Must be doin hubbies head in! Had hardly any syns then went over syns past 2 days but still under 105 and still cant relax. Its my 1st wi on monday too!

Yeah I get upset the way animals are treated but I still eat fish. Lol. What am I all about haha. But really it does sicken me battery farms should be illegal

Ditto but we settled on pescatarian which means we can eat fish

york test is endorsed by that famous Dr hillary jones, its a blood test food intolerance test done at a lab, I agree the other ones that take hair samples and stuff must be avoided but even the nhs use patches to test, I would rather have the blood test :)

I have hardly ate any syns but the past 2 days went over, as long as I am in the 105 syns range for the week I should be ok on monday wi????? :)

Redmel please watch portion sizes. I use rosemary conley portion pots but any cup measure pots would do I got set in pound shop unfortunatly for people who are slow losers we need portion control

well done julesgr! thats fab work :)

yeah sounds great, I have chronic fatigue so gotta watch any exercise, I mainly walk, so have tried to up the amount of walking I have been doing see what happens, I am not bothered about not being toned haha, just a healthy weight :)

Quark is my new discovery and I cant believe that I never had it before sw, what an amazing ingredient!

juejon you would be surprised how much my joining a group has totally tansformed my attitude and has helped so much! its amazing what a difference it has made after just 1 class, your reporting to someone so you dont desire big syn foods :)

your doing fab, what sort of exercise do u do if u dont mind me asking? :)

yes I sure hope op was a sucess and your cosy at home soon :) xx

you can get a set of digital scales on ebay for less than £10 including delivery

Aw yeah hope you feel better later :) xx

Erm what a great thing to be able to say! well done, tryelly deserved :D X

Oh thanks for the recipe there that sounds wonderful, I will have a go at that x

Aw well done I am very happy for you! :D X

How do you make vegetarian stuffing balls? x

Sorry if that sounded bad, its just my story and why I would not take pills, unless I had to, obviously I dont know conlou personally, so I dont know her level of depression and its none of my biz but just putting my 2 cents worth in thats all, but my personal circumstances did not call for pills :)

Well I am sorry you feel that way but thats what the nhs group prefere to tell us (in Glasgow anyway), before they stick u on tablets they suggest other things, and yes its more cbt. I am religious too it helps for me to pray to God and ask for help, I am not in any way cured, they say there is...

tilly here it is YorkTest | Food Intolerance Testing, Allergy Tests & Food Sensitivity Testing now I done the 1st step test that confirmed I was reacting to foods, then if you want to get the actual test that tells you what the reaction is to its £250, but i did not pay that as I told them I...

I was down and having panic attacks and I still get anxious, but I would not take anti depressants, the mind needed to change for me, I had to start having a bit of fun and get a hobby, anti depressants are not good for you body at all, the programme in glasgow for depression and anxiety and...

me too so I bought a york test and they are great you nutritionist info and they phone u and stuff really great, they send you a test kit and you quickly pin prick ur own finger and send the swab and they get back to you, they send you all your details and a credit card size card with all the...

yeah my test for coeliacs was negative too, but I am intolerant to wheat, gluten, yeast and kiwis lol, cause its testing for antibodies in the blood, and mine reacted with these foods x

yeah my class on a monday is at 5.30 seems like ages all day waiting to go haha! x

luckystar set up your own thread for food diary and pop on that what you eat every day xx

are you wheat intolrant or intolerant to one of the ingredients, I cant eat linda mccartney stuff now as I am intolerant to wheat and gluten?

I a, sure to lose weight like that in 9 weeks you aint eating much?

abiwatty sounds great, thanks for the quinoa tip how do you make it porridgey? lol and what about pavlova and berris in a restaurant better than cake!

flabulous I had a york test done and so did hubby, I am gluten, wheat, yeast and kiwi intolerant, was well worth the money, you take alittle blood sample and send it off to their lab that Dr Hillary jones endorses, its great. :)

Yeah All the best with WI there, your diary is good :)

can you not just stick to sw and use the 3rd plate filled with salad or veg and 1/3 of plate with whatever frree dinner type food, and then eat that and have glass water, then in evening have an apple and cup of tea, this works to fill me up. nice thick soup at lunch with your hex b of bread and...

congrats cheekylau thats amazing x

well done to all the losers this week, It was my 1st weigh in at a class tonight, very glad I decided to join, I am about 8 lbs more than I wanted lol, but hey its a new start aint it! x

Yes I was terrible too for past wee while but I am drawing a line under it and dusting myself off hopefully lol x

Yeah well done your food diary is looking great xx

Well a loss is a loss so well done, I have been gaining or sts so I am hoping that by starting this sw class tonight I can finally get rid of this stubborn weight! x

Aw big hug I know too well how upsetting it is to not have a period for ages its sad :( but maybe just take them and ignore the rumble (or drink tea when rumbly tymmy) and stop at your point allowance for the day, but I always feel full after a cup of tea with an apple x

check out agnus castus ot its called vitex I think too, herbal in holland & barret or any health food shop and ask them, its meant to regulate periods and good for hormones :)

Thanks Im hoping that the sheer fact that someone is weighing me will be enough motivation as I will not want to gain or always sts as that seems to be the story now lol, as I would be embarrassed lol :) xx

If you must take the pills I would just eat according to sw and ignore the rumble as its just not needing to be fed, it will keep rumbling otherwise lol, but I have pcos and dont get really regular periods and I will not take any pills, eat well and do some exercise and leave it to nature and...

yeah stnik I go off plan at weekends and its not good at all!!! So tomorrow I plan to do sw at a class, got free registration saving £10 so just £4.95 a week and I really need to step it up a gear I am not really losing anything at home on my own :( I am a slow loser anyway but need a boost x

Hi all just commenting to subscribe, I am planning to start sw classes on Monday evening so really nervy! I always weigh myself with no clothes on and thats not the case at classes haha! so I expect to be told I am heavier than I think! :) I have been doing it alone but I am not motivated enough...

Bernadette and mum, watch the portions, cause it says free and super free dont eat it mega amounts, I made that mistake, cause its still calories that are building up :) x

Aw Tilly so glad the walk went well x

Great diary here, just commenting to subscribe xxx

I use the biggest for cooked pasta and rice and cereal, cheese goes into the smallest as does oats before they are cooked. any drinks or juice can go into the 2nd biggest thats kinda how I work them :) x

I was hungry and fed up on ww xx

Im intolerant to wheat and gluten, its organic gluten free corn flakes, so just have to count 5 syns then x

Are cornflakes a health extra, otherwise I gotta count 5 syns for 30g xxx

Well I agree that just because foods free and super free we should not be eating it unlimited, I dont think thats good, I am using my rosemary conley portion pots now, as I feel that unlimited eating never a good thing, so sw is good but I will not eat unlimited foods xx

maybe I will just weight next week and not tomorrow? I wana weigh but I am fed up feeling disheartened! I know sw workd but I am not getting alot exercise xx

Aw hope you feel better soon! I caved in today and had treat day early! I hardly ever do that, but so early on in my sw journey I cant afford to do this either! :) xx

Yeah I get sad weighing weekly yet I cant help it lol, I prefere fortnightly or as you said monthly :) xx

I caved in and had treat day early! Im weighed on a friday! :( xx

Thanks for the scale advice, I caved in and had my treat day today instead of the weekend, I am an emotional eater I am affraid! :( xx

yeah can anybody recommend digital scales that are not expensive? x

Welcome francesca rose, sw is great, I am so glad I found it, its my 2nd week, I am a slow loser anyway, lost 2 lb or so my 1st week, really want digital scales though as I find it hard to read the other scales I got. All the best with your sw journey :D X

I do mainly green with some ee as I am a pescatarian (eat fish but not meat), I also watch my portion sizes as I am a slow loser and I have rosemary conley portion pots that I use for say rice or whatever, but cup measures work well too, I dont get much exercise, some walking and thats it, so...

Welcome NIrischick and moosmum41, this really is a great forum, so glad I found it too, all the best with the weight loss x

Well done to u, thats amazing xxx :D

lol I know I am trying to add healthy extras in too, sometimes I am happy to not eat any lol,but its my 2nd week and I am enjoying it x

mrs_t_84 congrats on the pregnancy, hope sw is good for u xx

xTillyx yes I agree what a lose! well done, I lost 2 lb my 1st week lol, but then again I had to weigh early x

So I made the base, well its in the oven, was wondering, would it work to use potato flour and water, make that into a dough and bake same way? Would potato flour be free, its just dried potato made into flour. x

all the best with ww there. you can always come back to sw if ww not suitable, I got fed but pointing everything, we done it before they changed it and the members in our meeting continued to use the old points system, thats whe we stopped, too annoying to switch lol x

I weigh in the buff lol, on a friday morning, maybe just socks and my glasses on to read the scales lol. x

sure we GOTTA do this lol, its really exciting actually aint it xx

Love the food your eating, great! x

All the best with sw xbeckeex, its going to be my 2nd week , I have been a slow starter on this, hope it works for me too. But only time will tell ha ha x

Me and my mum lost weight on ww but we didnt stick with it, but it does work now im at sw and mum just calorie counts using rosemary conley portion pots. But I have to give sw my all now, I need the weight gone for health reasons mainly, I am not motivated to look slim I just really wana feel...

Yes thanks thats great. because I was wondering if mashed chickpeas hummus style was free. great :) xx

I was just asking because of the whole berries are free and then blitzing them they have syns? saw that on another thread here. I just cook the peas and then add garlic powder and any other spices/herbs I want and a squeeze of lemon maybe olive oil (not much anymore lol) then blitz with hand...

so can I boil some frozen peas and blitz them (I like this like pea puree with lemon and garlic) are they free?

thanks yoyonomore, great tip x

I think I may switch to light ten, I eat about 3 at a time not 6 anyway lol. Thanks for the tip x

I got them in morrisons x

Aw what a shame hope your better soon x

Yeah that 1lb was very good, If I get 1lb every or most weeks I am happy and over the moon lol xx

yep me too, its was yum, even better with half frozen red grapes (berries were a bit tart) so 1.5 syns do me

oh sounds great yummy xx

Yes I have a food diary I have attached the link in my signature xx

Its my 1st week so I am still finding my feet lol, I have been eating most of my syns for a drizzle of olive oil on my salag or soya yog at brekkie or rice cakes, hoping to switch to a more suitable heb so I can count that instead of syns for the crackers. Im not sure why I was aiming for 5 syns...

Ginmummy I could not of said it better myself ;) xx

Yeah I have been eating my syns most days and today I have went way over with it being weigh day, so I am now not having sweets at the weekend. This was my 1st week on sw, so next week I hope to be better prepared and on the ball, I want to aim to eat about 5 or less syns a day x

yes pcos is a dieters nightmare lol, but we can get there by being extra good most of the time, and treats too are important for my mood, so I aim for once a week for that reason. I agree that once panic strikes it gets a hold of you, I am on egde with anxiety quite a lot, its very draining, but...

Aw conlou1 I am a panic attack and anxiety sufferer, it seems to be heaps better at the mo. hope that it stays that way, it lead me to chronic fatigue syndrome, well thats what I put it down to, I also pcos so that could of caused it but thats why I find it extra hard to lose weight xx

Yeah I am a slow loser of weight lol, but I just have to have some chocolate or something at the weekend that helps me stay on track during the week and even if I lose 0.5lb-1lb a week then I am happy as I know this time next year that will be massive lol xx

lol thanks, yeah I will keep at it! going to try and have at least a few days a week when I dont eat lots of syns so that I can have a treat on a saturday or Friday night (or split between both lol) see how that goes. x

you know charl thats great I think you might just be right xx

Hiya can I join up here lol I am totally in the slow weight loss catergory, it is very disheartening, but now I have minimins then I hope to be motivated to get this weight off once and for all!! xx

Aw thanks, yes I am glad that I use pescatarian too, lol, I go for all veggie options but have fish too, I go for veggie options outside as then I know that there are no animal stuff in it ha ha! xx

is there a 100% potato smash version? x

I have just got some lauging cow extra light, can I really have 6 a day? lol, I am a pescatarian (eat only fish and not any meat) great idea using them to replace mayo, could mix with a little milk to thin it out then mix with my tuna to fill a baked potato x

Oh yeah I love the linda mccartney sausages, great, but I am off wheat and gluten due to an intolereance, but have a little wheat now and again. x

Ah ok well I had the very same thing, had soya yog and used pure via and left the berries whole and still a little frozen, mixed all cause frozen berries release juice and it was so yum! so thanks for the advice, but is soya yog free? I know its 1.5 syn per 100g but can I use it as my 1 hexa on...

my scales are tucked away under the bed until Friday mornings lol x

Thanks yoyonomore2012, its mainly due to the fact its not fresh, I try and not eat packet food at all, but really wana make this, so may have to just add some flour into the potato to make a flour pastry type thing? then syn it x

Aw great well done, it appears I have lost too, its either 2 or 3 lbs not sure, probs 2lbs, I dont like to overestimate with weight lol, I can never read those scales, and when I had digital they were wrong, its weird, may try digital again at some point? x

Well if you would eat say 50g whole berries then weigh 50g and blitz, its the same thing surely lol xx

Could I make thick mash? I dont like smash? x

Aw thats a shame, the scales aint my friend alot of the time, I must retain water or something? Its weird how many times I would stay the same or put on when I had been really good all week x

lol Charl it sounds good though, makes sense that you would lose more off the extra easy but I am on extra easy as I like tuna baked potatoes lol I dont eat meat just fish

Great day then there keep at it. we all need motivation :party0019::greenapple:

I do mainly greens and extra easy as I eat alot of fish but not meat, I am still getting the hang of it too lol xx

Aw great loss there, I am so scared about tomorrow, I only been doing it since monday but I want Friday to be my weigh day so I am weighing early too xx
