Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've made this twice now and love it but both times it's seemed wet on the bottom. It's completely set and there is no fluid left in the dish but the underneath seems wet. I left out mushrooms the second time because I thought it might have been that but...

Thank you chezz and donnajt. Im feeling a bit better this week. The problems are still there but I went for a bit of a blow out to my friends at the weekend and had plenty of vodka and a good moan which made me feel a bit better! I'm usually a very strong person but was REALLY struggling last...

Well it's Monday which means weigh in day. 1.5lb down. I'm glad I've lost but a bit peeved I didn't lose 2 so I could finally hit the half stone mark but alas it didn't happen! I doubt it will happen next week either because I'm out Saturday and there will be a lot of vodka involved! God this...

I found it in sections from someone's channel. I think the 5 mile might be to adventurous for me yet as the 3 mile knackers me out but it's something to work towards so I don't get bored. Like u I can walk outside but just stroll really. I've found another walking exercise on you tube that does...

Good minds think alike ha. I was thinking of smoked paprika too. Will try it next time I make the sauce. I might do it this week with some chicken, I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes it doesn't work out cheap. I really wasn't impressed with how much the joints shrunk! Not to sure what to think of the horse meat thing. Half of me thinks eww and the other half thinks I might have been eating it all this time and had no issue with taste so what's the difference ha. I...

Good luck Hun. Just watched the fit test on YouTube and I'm in pain just watching so good on you for getting through it x

Hi there, I'm not doing the 30 day shred as I tried 10 minutes and gave up ( complete lack of fitness and motivation) but I wanted to wish you good luck on your journey. One thing I would suggest is make sure you're eating enough calories as all that exercise will burn loads for you. I think...

Hello can I join in. Been doing Leslie Sansone for about a fortnight now since finding her on YouTube. I have to say this is the 1st workout I've enjoyed and I've not made an excuse not to do!. I'm only small but terribly unfit, smoke and allergic to exercise ha ha. I started with the two mile...

Hi there, I stayed the same last week too and I'm now on week four with only a small loss the week before. I roughly eat the same amount of syns as you. I'm hoping for a loss this week but I'm not convinced. What I have noticed however is a change in body shape. I definitely look leaner around...

This is in the oven as I type, I can't wait. Trying to remove the fat was a nightmare. I managed to get the top layer of and have spent ages trying to remove the rest. I don't know whether its fat or sinu. Think I might have to add a couple of syns just in case!

Change of plan. Done my 45min exercise but I'm not walking to go and do some retail therapy as its started snowing! Snow =cold and I don't do cold ha. Looks like it gonna be a late dinner too as I've not set off to Asda yet and the pulled pork takes a few hours in the oven oops. Note to self...

I've had a pretty hectic day today and haven't eaten as much as I should have done. In fact I've missed lunch And had a quick tea of an omelette which isn't good! I need to get back on track tomorrow. It's also the wrong time of the month (not good) and so far I've not reached for the chocolate...

Hi WinkOfPink, welcome to my diary. I'm finding extra easy is so good for cooking for the whole family. My family are enjoying all the home cooked meals too rather than quick and easy convenience food. They even love the chips rather than the usual oven chips. I had a good night last night, I...

I'm planning on taking it slow bumblebee. I want the weight loss and to keep it off, so it's going to be all about changing my eating habits and mindset, as I just don't feel comfortable in my clothes anymore.

Hi bumblebee Well done on your loss. 7lb in two weeks is great. I hope I manage something near that. Ive just got that dread that im gonna weigh in on monday and gained, im not used to eating so amy meals! Maybe we can give each other motivation and support as we're both roughly the same. As...

Just made this for my tea. Was the 1st I've made a curry from scratch, I added chicken in it and the whole family loved it!

Hi guys these both sound like great recipes. I'm thinking of doing some ribs in the slow cooker. Do you think these recipes would work well in the slow cooker?

Wow mushy pea curry was fab! I was so sceptical but we all loved it! Curry rice n chips (slimming world chips) for tea! I'm loving slimming world. I've still got some of this curry left do you think I can freeze it?

Wow Pete what a great loss! I cooked your chilli and it went down well with the whole family. Gonna try and attempt the sauce for your tuna tagliatelle tomorrow but replace the tuna with salmon fillet. With all your recipes I can have a different meal each night without getting bored.

Hello all I'm new to this site and new to SW. I bought the books off the net and going to try and do it myself. Loving the site for lots of inspiration!

Hi Pete I'm new to this site and love your thread. I've already been out to get the ingredients for some of your recipes. I can't wait to try them
