Hey girlies. Bean , try the chicken skewers, they are free , they come with salad and a piri piri sauce which you have to syn , i think its 1 per tbsp, and chips which are 5.5syns. Gorgeous meal.
So it was a good day I suppose for a work day.
Breakfast - lidl nut bran flakes with cranberry muller - ooh won't be getting those flakes again yuk.
Lunch- cheese, onion and mayo sandwich with the new crisps ' o's and crosses' roast beef flavour , they taste like monster munch, they come in at 4 syns per pack and are £1 for a six pack in asda right now. Pack of grapes & melon and a morrisons 'NUME' low fat bakewell slice. Very more ish.
Finished work, collected the rugrat, and popped to docs to finally at last, collect my prescription for my bladder infection. Which won't need the antibiotics at the rate I'm swallowing this delicious iced water that my new love interest provides. Then back to do dinner, quick smart.
Dinner - SW pastryless ham and cheddar quiche, green beans and mash , made buttery with ' butter buds' (1/2 syn)

Good evening!
Well I had a lovely chicken roast dinner planned but then my ***** of a sister in law has decided to completely slag me off behind my back and decide to hate me so all plans went out the door. Plus the machine was broken for my facial, waaaa waa wa so Ben said he would cook and I came home to find jacket potato with beans and cheese but I'm on a red day! I'm so pissed off I couldn't eat anyway!
Could you post your quiche recipe? I love quiche! Xx

Oh bean I'm so sorry, that's awful. I don't have a good relationship with my sister or parents , they are so hurtful , so I know what it's like to have family worries. Try not to let it spoil your good week so far, you've been all happy and motivated, what a shame
Bless him, Ben was obviously trying to 'help' spelt 'hinder' in Manworld. Love him.
Quiche recipe -
SLIMMING WORLD QUICHE
---------------------------------
Dead easy, makes a big quiche or can use muffin trays and make mini ones.
Syn free ( depending on what you put in it.)
This one was a very basic one for the kids sake as the oldest doesn't like onion, peppers or mushrooms!
4 eggs
300g pot of cottage cheese
I used 2 Hea's of cheese, it served 4 of us so 1/2 an A each
4 large slices of ham diced
Put cottage cheese in a bowl, add 4 eggs and beat well. Add ham and grated cheese, salt and pepper and pour into a quiche dish. Cook on gas 7 until set and browned.
I sometimes do, smoked salmon and dill, broccoli and Stilton, bacon and tomato, anything you've got. Great for packed lunches too. Xxxxx

Weigh in day girlies and good luck to those weighing.
Woohoo 4lb off for me this week, that's the Easter gain been and gone thank god plus another 1/2lb for good measure. Goal this week is 1 1/2 lbs
How's everyone doing with challenge 2 ( 6 glasses of water) I managed 4 yesterday, try harder today.
Working 11 hrs today yuk but it's doing way I do best- sexual health and contraception yaaahooooo, so I'm pleased.
Planned menu for today and all ready to go. Uniforms feeling better again so I'll be in that bikini in no time - perish the thought that's not a pretty sight .
Yes bean that's so easy to do and quick to cook. I make cupcake ones for work too, very versatile.
I'm glad your situation is ok for now, she's young and hot headed I guess like most young teenagers I guess.
Right gang - challenge 1 was a new menu and bean got that one with her risotto, and mine was goulash, Lin and dubs? There's no hiding .
Challenge 2 was 6 glasses of water daily , dubs is normally best at this
Challenge 3 then is 20 mins exercise between now and Sunday , more if you can do it , I know I won't get chance until Saturday so that's when I'll do mine
Target was 1 1/2 lbs and I achieved that so new target for next Thursday = 1 1/2lbs again.
Good luck my lovely bunch xxxx

Well done on your loss Lin.
Your dinner looks lovely dubs, what did you put on the pork? Just passata and cheese?
This was my roast, not very spectacular but I never cook a roast! I then realised I had no gravy!!!! The orange mush is sweet potato mash made with Philly and topped with a little cheese, was a bit watery!

Gang , I am soooo proud of you all , recipes, water, exercise and losses too you are all amazing.
Dubs your dinner looks fabulous. Well done on the motivation to change something you eat, you're a star.
Linmac, not sure why they're watery, mine aren't. Tell me exactly what you do. Great loss again linny, a steady loss is better than a big one. I predicted a big loss as it was first week back on it, doubt I'll do more than a lb next week.
I had a busy day, everyone was 'odd' today, then we had a clap of thunder and hailstones. At that time I was typing my lunch into my 'notes' app on iPhone. I looked up at the window to see hail and when I looked back at my phone, the document was gone. I have been filling in my meals every day for ages and its also full of lists of syns and healthy extras, plus recipes and meals to try. ALL GONE! I'm gutted and I've no idea what happened. My ex husband told me to download them again from iCloud but I've no idea what I'm doing
Today's meals-
Breakfast - black tea , 1 weetabix, 1 slice of toast (1 heb) , marg (1.5 syns and marmalade (1 syn)
Lunch - potato salad ( 1 syn) bistro salad leaves and quiche , chocolate low fat mousse (3 syns) grapes
Dinner - lamb koftas, (1heb) garlic pitta (6 syns), mint tsatsiki, tomato and cucumber and salad leaves

shame about the drowning, but well done on the exercise, youre steaming through these challenges. recipes, i get them from old mags, hundreds of books, ( my guilty pleasure, jewellery, handbags,shoes, kitchen gadgets and recipe books) some off minimins, and some from foody websites and some from my head that i just throw together. the koftas were gorge and i'll post the tsatsiki recipe too.
here goes ;
TSATSIKI
syn free
4 mint leaves chopped
3 what i would call ' normal slices' of cucumber chopped
5-6 tablespoons natural fat free yogurt
mix all ingredients together and dollop some into kebab or serve on the side .
add a squeeze of lemon juice and a crushed garlic if required but i left it out i was too hungry and it was perfect.
