Haha, I know it's really strange but I really don't like 'normal' breakfast stuff like cereal etc.
It's just from asda & comes in a tin, chickpeas in a slightly spicy tomato sauce. You'll love it if you like chickpeas & so good on toast

Online Food Shopping - ASDA Groceries <--- a link to it

It's what you use to make the 'curry loaf' that I hear everyone talking about, although I've been too lasy to try it yet

I was going to ask the same question about the chickpea dahl, it sounds like something you'd have for tea, haha. But hey, if it's working for you Lishaa then keep it up

Good luck for weigh in today x

It is definitely something not meant for breakfast, & it's only while I've been on SW that I've started eating it but it's the only thing I've ever found that I like for breakfast (other than a cooked one of course) & I get better losses when I have breakfast

It was weigh in day today & I lost 2.5lbs, so I'm slightly gutted that I was just 0.5lbs off of my 1st award but I'm also really pleased that I'm at 13.5lbs gone in 5 weeks.

Group was absolutely dead today, there was only about 10 of us which was a shame but it made it easier to do the fake buffet thing - mine was 48syns! :0 definitely an eye opener.

Good luck to everyone else weighing today, let me know how you get on

 

[kimberleycandukan]

WOW Lish, you've done incredibly!
Many congratulations on another successful loss. At least you know you'll be getting a sticker next week :-D

Thanks for the dahl link, I might have to make a trip to Asda and investigate further. I did actually make the loaf once, but just used a tin of plain chickpeas. I will try it again when I buy this dahl!

Btw my virtual buffet was 105 syns!!! lol. And that didn't even include wine! Lol xxx

I agree, couldn't do the Dahl for brekkie. I like it with extra veggies chucked in, pinch of curry powder and and a bit of stock served with rice. Super quick curry when I can't be arsed cooking !

Ooh, no I haven't. Tbh I haven't shopped in there before, is the dahl from there free as well?

That sounds like a very good breakfast!

Today I treated myself to some new scales... finally! which means I can now weigh myself to within 1/4 of a pound and know my body fat % & body water %

As it stands I'm 42.1% body fat & I should be below 32% (oops) but what worried me more is that my water % is 40 which is so low it wasn't even on the chart! So I've set myself a goal to sort that out - it should be 50 - 65%
