MinkyDinkys SW Success Diary!!

I like nana and syrup together. I made a sweet omelette (just beaten eggs and sweetener) the other week and topped with sliced nana, sweetened quark and tbsp of syrup. It was so good!

Do you like mixed berries? There are a few different packs of frozen ones you can get which are dead handy to go with yogurt to have a change up of what to have with yogurt if you get bored xx

Oooh yummy how much sweetener and how many eggs do u use? Xx

 

[jamjar15]

Yeah alright randomer I just can't imagine it to be anything but a thick ball of stuff.... Do you add any water? Like make up the porridge with water and then stir in the quark? Or add some water to the quark just to thin it out a bit?? My head can't comprehend it!! Xx

Lol, the quark was a lot runnier than usual, it was sainsburys own, perhaps too runny for spreading but perfect for adding porridge oats to, it was more like a thick and creamy yogurt, no water added, just a bowl of mush, yum yum

Just 2 eggs as I would a normal omelette and 2/3 tbsp of sweetener? Depends on how sweet you like things really. I sometimes chuck some defrosted berries over too (if I remembered to get them out the night before ) It's quick n simple and I guess you could have it as a pud too if you wanted?? Xx

That would explain it! I get one from tesco and it's like a thick block so that's what confused me ha ha!! Xx

Hi lovely Minks.

I need some Minky magic to get me back on track so I'm pm ing you. Can I just say :wow: :wow: wowee at your pics. It's funny how weight hides the real essence of us, as in the before pic ( I know you were at your biggest and hated how you looked) you still looked an attractive lady with a much better figure than I've got at a very similar weight and lovely arms. O.k. I know they were big but they looked nicely rounded and didn't look flabby. All the women in my family have terrible upper arms. Mine actually sort of fold over in the middle like the michelin man/woman and my bingo wings have bingo wings ! Yak!! Anyway - in the recent pic, you look just like I imagine you to look from chatting with you on here and following your diary, but the other pic didn't look like you as I imagined you. Funny isn't it. Just catching up with your diary and noticed you having trouble with your wisdom tooth. Try and get to the dentist every time it flares up so they keep a record of it sweetie. I had a real battle with my dentist to get mine removed. I'd been suffering with it since 2007 but they wouldn't refer me until they'd seen evidence that I had 4 flare ups in one year! I ended up on 5 lots of the really strong antibiotics last year almost consecutively and was having to take time off work each time I had flare up as it was so painful I could hardly talk. I hope you can get it out ASAP as they get worse with each flare up and it's misery . Poor thing.

OMG I see you're nearly at the 6 stone marker!! How well have you done?? Btw you look about a 14 in your new pic. Are you measuring? I think clothes sizes are so inconsistent these days you could well be a size 14 in some shops. :bighug: xxxxxx

Thank you! That's what I was thinking about pudding! Hopefully if I have a few things I can nibble on I won't start picking at synfull stuff! Xx

I love these and I call them pancakes myself there is a thread which is for magic porridge pancakes that use a HexB choice of oats, that's a bit more involves and I've yet to try but people on here say they are great. If you want the link or can't find it just shout and I'll jump on the PC and get it for you.
Have a fab Saturday and enjoy the weather! Xx

What about those sponge fingers that you get in trifle topped with yogurt/jelly? like a mini trifle? I am sure I have a low syn recipe for them somewhere. If you want just shout ! xx

Thanks chick! I was blonde for so many years but prefer the red now - although i'm not saying no to going back ever! You are 3 lbs from target - thats thinspiration for us all! You know you can get those off, its just a little harder work when you are so close to target xx

Hey minks hows ur day been?

Not bad here hun, just chilling with the OH playing on comp and stuff. Just waiting for chicken breasts to defrost and then can crack on with curry for dins
How was the BBQ? I love 'em! Weather has been great for it.
We were invited to go out for a curry with my mum and her OH but said no didn't want the chance to get alcohol in my system and have a synful curry when I have all the stuff out ready for a syn free hm curry. Sucks though cause the place that they go to does the best curries.
Suggested that we maybe go next week or something and I can save my syns xx

Thanks for sharing your pics, you've done so well. I'm in my third week and still can't quite believe that this diet works, I'm eating so much. So you are proof that it works. Enjoy your curry, I'm waiting for my takeaway to be delivered but all within my syns.

 

[jamjar15]

Morning! You definitely sound chirpier the sons sock definitely worked lol.
Weather is gorgeous here too but woke up at 4 this morning with raging toothache again. Waiting for the tramadol to kick in so I can at least sit pain free but no luck as yet
Fingers crossed the chain gets sorted on the boys bike and you can get out and enjoy the weather xx

Much better today thanks I forgot that he also has a bmx, he could have used that lol.
I had one of my wisdom teeth taken out about a year ago, best thing ever!!! It had been giving me jip on and off for years. Then all of a sudden it just got so painful....I thought it was just infected again so booked myself an appointment at the dentists, just expecting some antibiotics, but he said it had to come out there and then! I was petrified!! It was huge!! I had to phone in sick that afternoon as I felt so wobbly on my feet, it was awful for weeks afterwards, having a massive hole in my mouth, but now it's amazing!! No probs at all
Can you not have yours out???

 

[MinkyDinky]

I've had 3 out already and this is the last one and it's horrendous. But the drugs have kicked in so I'm a bit high right now! 2 tramadol and a tamazepam down and I'm a bit happy I'm going to wait to get it out, terrified of the dentist so until it gets to the point of OMFG I can't talk! The tooth will stay.

Pain has subsided and I have managed to tuck down 2 mini pizzas and salad for luncheon so it's aaaaaalllllll good. Going to settle down and watch a couple of episodes of 24 now the MIL to be has gone woo!

Oh and I can't wait for dinner today - doing a fat chicken roast dinner! Haven't had a roast in ages so it's going to be taken in with open arms (and mouth). Okay I'm waffling now so laters taters xx
