My Diary - 'Extra Easy' Weight Loss Starts Here (I hope!)

[Nikki<3]

It's a lot of trial and error with SW recipes isn't it. I tend to just bung everything in and hope for the best! Tonight I put a whole onion, a whole pepper,a tin of tomatoes, 3 chicken legs (all skin removed) and chilli powder, cumin, turmeric and paprika, all in a pan and cooked through, was yummy!

 

[Mela]

Yes Nikki - you never know what will actually taste as nice as it sounds in the magazines! The soup recipe was from Bill Grangers new book. I love his food and we have tons of cook books at home so trying to use recipes that fit with the SW rules or change the recipe slightly to fit without using too many syns

Having another Thai style supper tonight - chicken & noodle soup Hope its yummy!!!

 

[Nikki<3]

Ooo that sounds divine! I love soup but never have any ingredients in to make one, may look onw up online and have a go tonight. Let me know how the Thai one goes xx

 

[Mela]

@Nikki - the soup was delicious

Ooo mela that recipe sounds so yummy! My dinner was very unexciting in the end....turkey salad weehee :-/ x

 

[hondapeeps]

Oh I had a noodle dinner too
They are the best!

 

[Mela]

I couldn't believe how filling it was considering it was mostly stock Its nice to find some 'normal' meals that aren't SW but fit with the plan. And I love noodles

Starting to get nervous about tomorrow's weigh in though

 

[hondapeeps]

Silly thing took long enough to get up... Never use laptop always iPhone or iPad app. Now I'm totally baffled by the actual minimins website! And thanks

 

[Mela]

Yes love the pic Nikki! The site still won't let me add a pic for some reason, think they might be too high res or something

Good news for me today is that I have lost this week... 2lbs

Food diary up later but I know we are having Youngs chip shop fish for supper so need to save most of syns for that!!!
