Plodding on.......
Thanks very much. However, having said that, one of the things I have learnt from here is that it doesn't actually matter how much you have lost, it's the effort and hard work that you put it into it that matters. When I first started, I was a bit less impressed by people that didn't have much to lose (eg people who's starting weight was a couple of stone less than my weight now) but I have learnt that is not important. I have had lots of support (and given lots I hope) from people like that. So what matters is that you have worked hard at it, you understand what it's like to struggle to lose weight and you want to support others. And you do so take the credit and be proud

DA DA DA I AM AT TARGET WELL 0.5LB BELOW IT WHOOP WHOOP :bliss:it's a brilliant feeling just have to stay here now lol, thank you for ur messages it really has helped having such brilliant support on here xx
the slim summer pudding went down really well it didn't taste like a "diet pudding" the bread pudding i thought had too much fruit and for 3.5 syns for a tiny piece but did taste lovely am going to remake using less fruit if it comes out ok will put it on here.
slim summer fruit recipe-
8 ryvita original crackerbread (i used 6 wholemeal ones didn't need 8 for the size dish i used and can count as a h/e b if u want to)
1lb of frozen mixed berries (next time i'm going to use raspberries)
sweetener to taste
1- put the frozen fruit in saucepan with sweetener to taste simmer for 5 mins
2- line a square dish (i used a small lasagne dish 2 cracker breads fitted perfectly in the bottom, i cut 2 of them in half and used these for the sides
3- pour the fruit onto the crackerbread and put the last 2 crackerbread on the top
put a saucer on top and weight in down (i used a few more saucers
4- leave in fridge for 24 hours
5- serve with quark, fat free fromage frais or 0% total yoghurt mixed with sweetener to taste
if you use 8 crackerbread it's 16 syns and serves 4 so 4 syns each portion
using 6 crackerbread it's 3.5 syns or a h/e b plus 8 syns i didn't think the stewed fruit would be that much but working it out from the recipe i have it's 16 syns - 8 syns for the crackerbread which leaves 8 syns for the fruit, if u make it let me know what u think of it xx
