Dawww! you guys are too nice. I think there's an angle thing going on here though - not sure my legs are *that* slim - yet!!! I'm getting lots of compliments, which is toooo lovely. What a boost. Honey I'm loving you right now!!! But you know you're already cute, ridiculously so right? I want to lose another stone, to take me to a neat 12

Aw ladies thank you! Here's me thinking I'd been away too long and you wouldn't remember me! I'm going to try to be back properly as I like chatting to you girls and it really helps to keep me on track. Hope you all had lovely Christmases and New Years
Monday 7th January
Breakfast: two poached eggs (done in my new microwave egg poacher at work - success!) with chipotle paste
Lunch: tesco tin of mixed beans in spicy sauce, baked potato
Snacks: 2 bananas, orange, salt and vinegar squares (7 syns).
Dinner: slow cooker veggie lasagne (might be some syns alongside HEA cheese, need to look that up!).
Snacks: muller lites
I've planned loads of slow cooker meals so I can really get the hang of it. So far so good. Lasagne was nice, brisket in onion gravy yesterday and just did home made w/m tortillas to go in beef enchiladas for tomorrow. Coming home from work to a hot meal totally rocks!

SO pleased - had weigh in last night at group - only 1.5lb on for the whole of Christmas/NY - I really enjoyed it too - booze, takeaways, puds, goose fat roast tatties, cheese etc etc. Perhaps I wasn't quite as unrestrained as normal but often I felt sore I was so full. Phew!

Snacks - fruit and mullet lite
Dinner - slow cooker beef enchiladas (6 syns), w home made tortillas and Total 0%.
Snacks- 1 mouthful ice cream (1 Syn), 1 hi fi and 1 hi fi lite (9 syns)

Wednesday 9th January:
Breakfast - some of the rice thing I made in slow cooker (argh, which means I was wrong about yesterday's brekkie which I now remember was fruit and muller lite!). Too sweet so trying again unsweetened.
Lunch - smoked mackerel, pickled beetroot and cottage cheese (my colleague Henry did not approve!)
Dinner - hubby made SW friendly fish chips and mushy peas. 3 tbsp ketchup (3 syns). Fish done in smash.
Snacks - miller lite, fruit, cottage cheese, hi fi deluxe (HEB).

Glad to see you back and well done on your tiny xmas gain - you'll have that off in no time.
Wow your fish and chips look amazing! I haven't made fish and chips in ages- I think I'm going to have to try doing it in smash. Did it taste good or could you tell it was smash? I've only tried it on chicken nuggets so interested to know how it was on fish x

Hi vintagepockets, thank you its nice, but not the same as batter or breadcrumbs, gotta be honest! Nice enough though
Thursday 10th January:
Breakfast - did the brown rice and barley in the slow cooker, added grated carrot and sugar free maple syrup in the morning. Nice but very healthy tasting! Couldn't have it every day but good change from eggs for a quick free brekkie
Lunch - chicken and mushroom pasta n sauce with a bag of broccoli and carrots steamed and mixed in
Snacks - bag squares (7 syns), miller lite, fruit
Dinner - slow cooker pea and bacon soup, wm bread (HEB) with 1 tsp Lurpak light (1 Syn), Stilton (HEA).
Snack- muller lite and hi fi lite (HEB).
