Hiya, what are low fat super noodles?

You can get 3 flavours - Thai Sweet Chilli, Chilli Chicken, Chicken & Herb. They are just Batchelors Super Noodles, but they say Low Fat on the front. Be warned, they're the only flavours that are free so normal Super Noodles will have syns.

Finally started the shred today!

 

[Honeyoc]

Yay! I did it last year, hated every moment of it but noticed a difference in the end! I plan on shredding after I have this baby!

 

[BritMumInCanada]

I did the shred but in day 3 got a blocked milk duct and was in agony so had to stop. The strange thing is, the same happened to my friend, so I don't recommend it when breast feeding lol. It must be those darn jumping jacks.

 

[vintagepockets]

If only I had that excuse lol! It wasn't that bad today, although I am so rubbish at the ab crunches. I can't seem to get the hang of pulling myself up from my stomach rather than just moving my neck haha.

We went out for dinner tonight and I had a couple of cheeky red wines. I think I'm starting to relax at the weekends due to 'sort of' being at target but would still like to lose a few pounds so I need to get strict. I also need to be stricter for the OHs sake as he is so keen with it and I'm the one who drives the diet so I can't be too slack or he won't lose the weight he wants to. We did have a lovely evening though!

Yay! Well done

If only I had that excuse lol! It wasn't that bad today, although I am so rubbish at the ab crunches. I can't seem to get the hang of pulling myself up from my stomach rather than just moving my neck haha.

Remember - your neck is not invited to this party!!! Keep it up, you'll soon get the hang of it

 

[charl_young]

I was the same! Really couldn't do the crunches, but now it's all I do, loads of them everyday! (Well before holidays, need to start again!) x

 

[vintagepockets]

I am in a whole world of pain today. There was me thinking the shred wasn't that bad - ouch! I've been walking like John Wayne all day haha.

Dinner - Piri Piri spiced Pork Loin (fat removed), SW chips, green beans, SW coleslaw made w/ carrot, red onion, cabbage

Whoops! - Slice of rhubarb pie & 1 tbsp custard (only a little slice and I didn't eat the crust so guessing at 11 syns)

Dinner... I could of eaten this again and the coleslaw was so yummy. I've got loads left over and it's only 2 syns for the whole lot so I barely had any syns at all in the tbsp I had.

Lunch... an experiment that I probably won't be recreating. It did give me an idea for an All Day Breakfast pasta salad that I might try out this week though!

Dinner... omg this was amazing. I got the recipe from this months SW mag. I didn't have sweet chilli sauce so will add this next time and I think I was a bit shy with the curry powder. I had it with chicken, pork and prawns and it tasted just like a takeaway!

 

[HollyHearts<3]

Subscribing! Your food looks SO nice! x

 

[Rachel1903]

Hi

Those Singapore noodles do look good! Is the recipe from the November issue? Not in the shops yet! Hopefully it will be soon! How is you week going? I'm hoping to get pics of my meals up next week once I'm all moved!!

x

 

[vintagepockets]

No it was in the October mag. They were really nice I definitely recommend giving them a try!

 

[vintagepockets]

My scales are broken so I have no idea how much I weigh. They've read 10.11 , 10.9 and 10.4 this morning so they're going back today. Can anyone recommend any reliable scales?

 

[Rachel1903]

Oh dear, are they brand new??

I currently use WW scales, they seem pretty reliable. x

 

[vintagepockets]

They're only a few weeks old and they're WW scales which I had before and were fine. Maybe they're just a faulty set?

 

[Rachel1903]

They must be! I can't see why they would give false readings.... mind you that's just jogged my memory! I have in the past had to stand on them twice to get the accurate reading. I used to lean them up against the wall in the bathroom and every time I stood on them in the morning the first reading was always 4 or 5 lbs higher than the 2nd. I've kept them flat on the floor now and I've not had the problem since. How do you store them? x

 

[vintagepockets]

They stay in the same spot. I weighed yesterday and I was 10st 6lbs and this morning I was 10st 11lbs. I can't have gained 5lbs in one day!? Then they said the other readings and the OH's was all over the place too.
