Kay's journey to health and happiness

[Cheese Thief]

Heyy hunny, finally all caught up!

I'm going to come down to London and nick your scales, the last thing you need are more wi's to stress you out missy! Don't take any notice to the STS on your home scales, they might be different from the ones at group anyway, and our weight can fluctuate sooo much from day to day. I'm sure you'll see a loss on Tue, your food looks great.

That cheesecake looks amazing, I've never tried quark but I'm going to look out for it, would be lovely to be able to have a really low syn but delicious dessert.

I get those frozen berries too, but the Aldi summer fruit ones, sooo good! When I started SW I found it soo expensive to get all the fruit in, but those big packs are such a bargain! The mysupermarket site is great isn't it, there's always an offer on somewhere. The only problem is we now go around 4 supermarkets for the big shop, took about 3 hours this morning!

Hope your aunt is feeling a lot better now and you're having a lovely relaxing weekend xxx

Hello Kay,

Just wanted to say that your diary is so inspirational to me; I spent yesterday evening reading through every page and I now feel ready - finally - to really give Slimming World a go and reach my goal weight. Thank you for being so open and honest in your posts - and for giving us such delicious meal ideas.

I'm thinking of getting a popcorn maker because you get a massive mixing bowl full for only a few syns
I have one in my eBay watch list and it's only £7 but I'm trying to save so I keep putting it off lol xx

Ooooo a popcorn maker with butter frylight, I might look into that, thanks for the idea Pixie !

It's been lovely thanks. Finally feel like I'm getting back into SW again now I'm cutting out the calorie counting, it was really messing me up before!

I'm sure I'd be the same as you with the scales if I had them in the house, so quite glad I haven't got them.

Ooh and where do you get the chocolate shots from? x

Hey Bev, the choc shot bottle is sold in Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Morrisons and Tesco. It's only 2 syns for 1 tbs its pure indulgence makes any dessert more heavenly mmmmm !

Hi - I've seen ur posts and ur doing really well! I find seeing that others can do it really helps me.

Like you I used to think I was spending a lot on SW foods - but when I think of the choc, takeaways and other rubbish I used to stuff myself with - not so sure!!

Good luck! Yes Kay's thread is truly inspirational and always supports us all - as you've found out her recipes are great and she REALLY uses them not like me - drooling over then then storing them away!

Thanks Kay - sorry to ask a daft question but could give us a clue where to find them - those shops are huge!!

Although I'm not sure of the syn value - Home Bargains (do you have one locally?) sell sachets of popcorn to cook in the micro - they're 29p each I think and that makes up loads.

Also as ur so good at cooking - could you buy the uncooked corn and invent a SW recipe - it'd be cheaper too!

Hi Upd , the choc shot bottle is normally kept in the hot chocolate aisle. Thinks its best if I stay away from popcorn . I have this thing about staying away from foods that trigger my hunger, the ones that wake up `my carb monsters' in my stomach lol, that's why I don't go near mug shots even though they are free, I love them but they make me super hungry for the rest of the day. I like eating food which give me a feeling of being full all day like fruits and veggies .
