That also looks amazing !! im lovin all this inspiration im gettin from your diaries, ile have to post some of my meals
suzyflo
Proud to be a loser!!
I quite often have mixed berries (usually buy frozen ones) with natural yogurt, but I've never thought of adding meringue...thanks, I'll give it a try.
Photos do make a difference. I've been liking adding photos to my diary and it's so easy to do (thanks again) it makes it look more interesting, that said, I forgot to take photos yesterday.
I tried 'magic' porridge for the first time today, it was ok but I prefer normal porridge made with water.
Well done for getting back to the gym, keep up the good work.

It's just your porridge allowance mixed with fat free yoghurt (I use mullerlights) and left in the fridge overnight. The oats absorb all the yoghurt and makes a really filling breakfast.

Hi, i just wanted to leave a little note to say i've enjoyed reading and seeing your meals - certainly have given me some inspiration. I am slowly losing the plot with SW as i seem to constantly yo-yo despite not really know where i'm going wrong. I will definitely try some of your meals - i don't think i am being adverturous enough!
Congrats on your weight loss so far and i look forward to reading your diary more

Glad you're finding recipe inspiration from my diary! I'm loving trying new things and I'm cooking so much more now that I'm doing SW. I became so lazy pre-SW - I'd eat out or have convenience food all the time, which is how I gained weight in the first place! I think you have to really experiment to keep things interesting or else you can easily get stuck in a rut and go off the rails! (I do still enjoy my meals out, although not quite as often
). Although sometimes a healthy alternative just won't do!!! That also looks amazing !! im lovin all this inspiration im gettin from your diaries, ile have to post some of my meals
That's great, looking forward to seeing all the meals you try out! I'd definitely recommend the Eton Mess - it was so yummy that I'll probably be having it again tonight!

I've gone over my syns this week so I'm not really sure what to expect at WI tomorrow. The last 2 times I've been naughty I've gained, but... the first time was TOTM and the second time I'd had a really heavy meal the night before. And both times I lost loads the following week!? It will be interesting to see what the scales say tomorrow. I'll be happy if I at least STS so a loss would be a massive bonus. I'm really not convinced I've lost though - it certainly doesn't feel like it!
Food Diary...
Breakfast - Mullerlight strawberry, banana, 35g Jordans natural muesli (HEXb)
Lunch - Pasta w/ ham, cucumber, sweetcorn and 50g Philadelphia light sweet chilli (part HEXa), grapes
Snack - smoked salmon, pickled onions, 1 babybel light (part HEXa)
Dinner - SW Lasagne (tinned tomatoes, passata, red onion, red pepper, courgette, mushrooms, garlic), 1 tbsp parmesan (1.5 syns)
Dessert - 2 mini meringues (2 syns), fat free natural yoghurt, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
2 tea w/ skimmed milk (1 syn)
Sparkling water
Total syns = 4.5
Dinner... I'll tell you the verdict after dinner. It looks good though!
Update: It looks good but it was really bland - I won't be making it again. I will definitely be having pud now

I'm not convinced I'd be able to make it nice tbh. Not to my tastes anyway - it was too tomatoey for me. I've still got 2/3 of it left so I'm donating it to my brother!
I'm a bit annoyed as I bought a baguette for my lunch tomorrow and its turned out to be white instead of wholemeal! I'm just going to have half of it and syn it. So that's 11 syns (including flora and branston). At least the syns will be worth it
I've also got a cold coming! Boo

Its still worth trying as it could be a different recipe or you may even like the one I tried. It was too tomatoey and lacked flavour for me.

Maybe i could mess around with the ingredients
... The canelloni sauce was only passata, sugar, garlic, salt n pepper and was really tasty xxxx
