Well done on wasting the cake, Better on a plate than on you!!!! Maybe you were hungry today because there was no protein with your salad box lunch? proteins really do 'keep you fuller longer', otherwise looking good x

 

[Smuffin]

Yes I realised this afternoon that I probably should of done some pasta last night and put ready to have as Pasta salad then! But was too late and I was working so grabbed the noodles I had at hand which seemed to work. Going to have turkey salad tomorrow for lunch with my Red day, and will do pasta salads on Green days. Not sure what else I can have, maybe boiled eggs.

Really need a good loss this week to keep me motivated after my 1/4 of a pound loss on my first week

 

[Kay003]

Hi Smuffin, I'm sure you'll have a good loss this week. Your food diary looks good so far. Turkey salad with eggs for lunch sounds yum .

Hi smuffin, I noticed dinner has been left blank any ideas what your having ? I'm stuck on the same, don't know what too cook tonight. How has your day been so far ?

Kay xx

 

[Smuffin]

I think im gonna go for the Sainsburys pasta and herb pasta tonight. Got me box salad made up to go with it! Tomorrow im gonna try magic pancakes, and this chocolate cake recipe I saw on a facebook group 4 1/2 syns for the WHOLE cake!! And going to make pork and apple burgers! Excited.

3 eggs, 25g cocoa and 30g granulated sweetener. Separate the eggs, whisk whites to soft peaks, whisk the rest of the ingredients, including the egg yolks with a splash of water, combine the two until thoroughly mixed and bake in any shallow small tin at 160 for around 25 mins. It is gorgeous! I was given a recipe with double those quantities but halved as it doesn't keep well due to having no fat in x

Days been ok so far, finish work in couple of hours. Still worrying about weigh in Saturday cos keep jumping on scales each day (Which I know I shouldnt! ) and see no difference No idea what I'm doing wrong, tried cutting things like creme eggs and smarties out and the coke as thought it might help, doubled up on me salads but nothing seems to be helping. Thought about getting the Wii fit out but worried that it will then show up as no loss what with the fat turning into muscle, and sure that's good but think it will put me off if I don't see a loss.

Hows your day been so far? xx

 

[Kay003]

Your food dairy has been really good this week, so try not to go by your home scales until your official weigh in. You still have a couple of days till sat, just eat plenty of free and superfree and drink plenty of water. Green tea is also good for cleansing the system and make things move. Keep posting your food diary on here so others can give you tips. Your doing a great job. Food sounds fab. Do post up pics if you can, tomorrows food sounds lush .

I have my sister coming around tonight for dinner, so trying to wizz up something nice for dinner tonight, still looking at recipes when I should really be cooking by now . Will post my foodage up later tonight. Dessert is already in the fridge, chocolate orange cheesecake, yum yum .

I've never been good in the kitchen! Was so relieved when I found out cake in a cup was quite yummy and so simple haha. The porridge oats and half a mullerlight are mixed up and in the fridge over night for pancakes in the morning. Shall try and get a pic of them and the Choccie cake for sure, providing they don't fail!

Had company around dinner time and completely forgot I was going to have that sainsburys pasta pack and ended up cooking my dolmio sauce and pasta up. Opps! Need to try and mix it up a bit more then just that.. Just completely forgot cos the company Atleast I still cooked a normal green day meal though.

Hope you found some yummy receipes for enjoying your evening with you sister

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Magic Pancakes – Syn Free on all plans
Author: karen
Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: British
Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 35g porridge oats
• half muller light yoghurt
• 2 tbsp granulated sweetener
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. place your 35g of porridge oats in a bowl & mix with half a muller light yoghurt
2. leave this mixture overnight in the fridge
3. Then in the morning whisk 2 eggs into the mixture
4. Add 2 tbsp of sweetener
5. Pre heat a large frying pan and spray with fry light – medium heat
6. Use a desert spoon and measure out roughly 12 small pancakes
7. Fry one side for about 4-5 minutes until it stops bubbling
8. Flip over and cook for further 3-4 minutes until golden brown
9. Serve with some fresh fruit of your choice or any other syn free accompaniment
   
   I firstly tried to make them by pouring the whole mixture into a big frying pan, cooked slow but it turned out a bit of an eggy mess and I couldnt turn it without it breaking up — so tip for you —– keep them small and use a desert spoon of mixture to make small round pancakes. This makes sure they do not break up and also they cook properly. Here is the recipe I have tweaked which worked the best for making these.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Thanks hun, I have saved the recipe. Let me know how they turn out.x

 

[LJ22]

I must try this pancake recipe. Sounds like a great weekend breakfast on a green day when I can have 2 HexB's. Thanks for posting it.

 

[Kay003]

oh thanks smuffin going to save the pancake recipe, sounds yummy for breakfast . Would love to know how the cake in a cup turns out. Well done for sticking to the green plan even though you had company. You're doing so well hun .

Ive had cake in a cup nearly every night this week I think Its only 2 syns though. Just use 1 Options hot chocolate, an egg and 4 tsp of sweetner, I only use 3 though or it's a bit too much. Mix it all up in a cup, Stick it in the micro for 1.40 mins and yum yum!! Some people put mullerlight on top, but I really love it without.
