I like it, its nicer if you leave a little bit of water in there to keep it moist rather than as dry as normal couscous but not so it is like soup - if that makes sense?? xx
Its lovely and filling and the great thing is that its ok cold so no having to worry about a microwave and is a lot lighter than magic porridge xxOoo now this looks like my kinds brekkie! Not a fan of porridge...but this looks like a fruity summer porridge-esque thingy!

Thanks for stopping by Fillymum and your sweet words
hopefully I can update my stats tomorrow with another loss getting me closer to target! xxI use the flavoured phillis as a hexa, hold my hands up! Princess Stevie on here asked her consultant ages ago, who then rang syns hotline, who confirmed the flavoured phillis can be used as hexa
Ok so SW Site states : HexA on all plans 75g plain philli light. HexB on green 75g plain Philli light, philli light with chive and Philli light with Sundried tomato and basil.
BUT then it goes on to say 75g reduced fat/light soft cheese. So if I'm honest, you could use the plain and flavoured ones on all plans for A or B choice! But I'm not a consultant and cannot confirm for sure so use at your own choice (just thought I would get that in there before the SW Police come knocking
) xx

So this was lunch...
Dead tasty but alas lacking the green leafy salad it should have had with it (its probably sweating to death on my kitchen work top right now making it totally inedible and slimy). Pretty peckish already so going to have my choc philli on fruit crunch ryvita and my nana. Grapes can breath easy for an hour or 2, they'll get scoffed about 3.30.

Hi All, hope everyone is having a good start to the week????
I am a ball of nerves and a nervous wreak all rolled into one ........ I so desperately want to lose 2lbs tonight to get my 3 stone award but I dont think I have done it - I have been on plan all week but dont think it is going to happen. I have put so much pressure on myself this week to try and make sure I stick to plan - there was an extremely hard trip to Sainsburys on Saturday where all I wanted was to pull the cakes off the shelf and shove them in my gob but I resisted and legged it out of there as quickly as I could - it was a close call!!!! Then there was the night where we were late home, nothing ready to eat and my partner went for fish and chips (wiht my blessing)- I sooooooooo wanted them but made do with a leftover mish mash from the fridge instead - that was really really hard.
So, after going through all that I guess I just really really want to see that 2lb loss tonight - possibly I am screwing things up by tying myself in nervous knots!!!!!
ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH why do we do this to ourselves????????

Because its fun obviously?!
kidding! Sweet, you have shown amazing restraint in a couple of circumstances where most of us would have taken the easy option!
Take 5 mins to have a nice cuppa or glass of water, chill out and enjoy the sun (if you have any there? Its gorge here!) You know you have been on plan and I'm pretty certain that the scales will show the proof!
If - and thats a mighty big if! - the scales don't say what you would prefer then come on here and we can have a little chat about what it could have been.
But let's not think negatively, all fingers n toes crossed and I'm thinking positive 3 stone shiny thoughts for you hun. Just relax! What times WI? Xxx

Countdown to 9 is on! Xx
Its really easy hun! Spray frying pan with frylight (or use a tbsp oil), get hot and add a can of drained mixed beans, 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1 chopped fresh red chilli. Spray again with frylight. Leave till they start popping slightly and getting crispy, shake up and leave for a couple more minutes. Add cooked rice (I used microwave rice) and squeeze over the juice of 1 lemon. Leave to heat through for 2-3 minutes. Stir and serve! XxFood sounds lush today! Well, apricots aside

It was indeed lush, peppers and onion tasted so much better grilled rather than fried xxlooks lush hun
I left about a ladle or 2 of the pasta water in the pan and then added the philli (150g - 2 portions/hexa) and stirred till melted, then added all the veggies and pasta and stirred. Low low is gorge for pasta too xx

Hey! Very simply put :
Green days you can have unlimited superfree food and carbohydrates (so all your starchy veg, pasta, rice, beans)
You get 2 A and B choices but there are more choices for B option- weighed meat, fish, nuts, seeds, cheese, etc.
Red days you can have unlimited superfree food and lean meats and fish.
Again 2 A and B choices and the B options extended list is the same as EE as well as beans, pulses, potatoes, etc.
Does that make any sense? I hope so!! Xx
