Nice one Nat! Well done on the great weight loss.

I'm really feeling tired now, cannot wait to go to bed - though we lose an hour tonight!

I got some of those Alpen Light choc bars and I'm looking forward to trying that - I think I might try making the tomato and basil soup tomorrow for lunch - I'm really loving trying these recipes

I think that's what I'm enjoying the most, is finding all these new recipes to try

It's amazing really how we can lose weight and enjoy cooking and eating gorgeous foods. These habits will be with us for the rest of our lives and we'll also pass them on to family and friends. Makes me think why I didn't do this a long time ago! I so desperately want to be slim, I can actually imagine it happening now. I keep imagining looking good in new clothes, it's not about what anyone else thinks either. Just that I'm not going to be fat anymore and I really cannot wait

Yeah definitely, I think I'll be fine after my first weigh in, just to make sure I'm doing it right!! I'm really full up all the time, and struggle to eat all sf foods lol

How do you make that?

 

[mistysmummy]

Christmas bran cake

Syns: 11 Syns for the whole cake!

You will need:
5 Scan Bran
2 beaten eggs
1 tbsp golden syrup
2 level tbsp mincemeat
5 level tbsp sweetener (or to taste)
1½ tsp mixed spice
Grated zest of a lemon for extra zing (optional)

Method:

1. 1Soak the Scan Bran in boiling water to soften. Then drain and mash.
2. 2Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
3. 3Pour the mixture into a microwavable bowl and microwave for around 6 minutes. When cooked the cake will be springy to the touch and will have pulled away from the side.

Chef’s tip: Top with quark flavoured with brandy essence for a cold dessert. For a hot pud, enjoy with low fat custard (1 Syn per 2 level tbsp) or very low fat fromage frais/Müllerlight yogurt for Free!

can i ask what might seem a veeery silly question? what is scran bran? and where do i get it, i have honestly never heard of it before.

Scan Bran is a type of crispbread it is very rich in fibre, it is sold at class and also in Holland & Barrett. It is an acquired taste as a crispbread (looks a bit like plasterboard) but can be made into cakes etc

Scan bran is like a ryvita type thing I think (although I never bought any coz I've heard it's not nice & someone please correct me if I'm wrong) and it's bought at SW meetings although I think some holland & barratt health shops too x

 

[solo12]

Lol great minds think alike JoC x

 

[JoC]

Still haven't got up the courage to eat it as a crispbread, scan bran cake is nice though. Have some scan bran in the cupboard but every time i get it out to have it, i just cannot stomach it lol.

 

[Socialbutterfly1979]

Oh good luck Hun, mine is tomorrow so let us know how you get on x

I am in a very picky mood today and I must admit, there have been a few sneaky bites here and there today - feel really bad for that

I would really love some sweet picky things but don't know what. Had an apple but didn't really help!

Ooh had the alpen lights today as my hexb and I'm so surprised how much I like them - I don't like alpen so I think I was expecting a muesli bar or something but lovely for my sweet tooth! Thank you! X

 

[mistysmummy]

Glad you liked it trixy will look out some of the other recipes I have for it xxx

 

[Socialbutterfly1979]
