Thanks, it was quite nice. I had to tweek the recipe slightly so it went up to 5.5syns per portion instead of 4, but I think it made a big difference

Method
- Preheat oven to 180c or 350f, spray a oven proof cake tin with non stick spray
- Whisk the egg whites to the soft peak stage and set aside.
- Then place the egg yolks in another mixing bowl and whisk until they start to thicken, then add the splenda and continue to whisk, but be careful not to let the yolk mixture get too thick.
- Add the cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and if it starts to get too stiff, add a little of the egg white mixture.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and then pour the mixture into the cake tin.
- Bake the cake for approx 25 minutes until springy.Remove it from the oven but leave it in the cake tin to cool.

I'm back! Had a good time- ate lots of bad things
I have weighed myself this morning and have gained 3Ib which (while not great) is not a bad as I expected. I have 12 days now until I get weighed at class so I am hoping to loose that and a little more by then.
I have lots of time this week (a few more days off of work yay) so I'm going to make lots of soups (speed soup and magic soup and maybe some tomato and red pepper soup) and have that for lunches and for taking to work when I go back and freeze the stuff I don't need straight away. Also going to make some 9syn chocolate cake again so i can have a nice filling treat for only a very few syns TBH though, because I've eaten sooo much while away, I really don't feel like eating anything much
I need to loose 4Ib per month to be near target by february which sounds very do-able but if you look at my monthly breakdown in my signature.. it's usually not that much. Must get a wiggle on!

My pleasure
Today I have made a big batch of the 'speed food' soup (I have a LOT of soup in the freezer at the moment
) The plan is to have one of these soups for lunch everyday until the next weigh in- trying to get rid of the 3Ib gain and a bit extra
I'm gonna make a roasted pepper and tomato soup tomorrow so I have a vareity of soups

Well, after having a week of bingeing trying to deal with stress at work I have crawled back on the wagon today. Again. I'm not sure the timing is great as I appear to have woken up with a cold. Typical. But I need to go forwards again. Onwards and downwards. Had a nice light day today: just some cereal, a tuna sandwich and a chicken stir-fry tonight. Really hoping to turn things around.

And promptly fell back off...
Going to WI tonight, see the damage and start making some baby steps to being back on track. Maybe not 100%... but better.
