b2b used to post theirs everyday and i did to start with but it seems to have stopped! i think it does help and helps other b2b aswell as they get ideas for dinner etc

I have had pasta cooked with chicken stock cubes in the water for lunch. Also just discovered weight watchers strawberry merengue frozen dessert at only 4 1/2 syns a pot and it was absolutely delicious!!

they sound lovely, we did a potato and spinach dish last night, but cannot remember the ingredients off hand, but they were lovely and creamy as added low fat fromage frais. we are having slimming world burgers tonight, h2b is a dab hand at making them now and having them with slimming world chips made from sweet potato. yummy :) x

the burgers are lovely, h2b puts grated courgette in them and they hold together perfectly, we love them, although the first time he did them he didnt put enough salt and pepper in them, but with the chips and mushy peas they make a great meal, we often have the chips, they taste quite like roast potatoes really, but they are syn free and you can almost imagine them being real chips lol :) x

2 hours? is that what you were told. mine is normally only an hour!

good luck for your first week! once you get into the swing of it i found it easy! xx

i havnt been staying for the groups recently. just been going to get weighed and that is it. i'll stay next week as i have just become target member but after that i cant see the reason in staying when im not actually losing anymore weight xx

mine starts at 7 with everyone being weighed by half 7 and then i am home by 8.20. i never eat before i go either so am always so hungry by the time i get home

yea my group does that. i have one it once!

we dont do a raffle though. we go it for money! Each ticket costs 20p and you can have max of 5, the consultant picks a name out at random at end of class and sets a target. eg...have to lose a pound that week but doesnt say who it is. if next week the name of person loses a pound and stays to class she wins the money. hope i explained that well

does anyone have the web site to the slimming world recipes that somone put on a while ago?im going to join back up properly after hen nyt need to desperate xx

i put the link on this thread ages ago. Its here somewhere!

I'll PM ya Jo!

i village has loads of recipes thats where i get all mine from

well done minniemoocher :) x

well done minnie to stop ya missing choc and it turning into a craving get a small box with a lid and fill it with chocolat syns to a certain amount of your weekly allowance then once its gone its gone but ur not missing out curly wurlys are good for that xx

I find if I want chocolate then I have either a jaffa cake which isn't that bad or I make chocolate mousse up with fat free fromage frais and then beat in some options hot chocs in any flavour and some gelatin to set it. Makes a chocolaty mouse which helps ease the cravings. Either that or the WW frozen desserts really hit the spot.

Thanks girls - I'll get myself some curly whirlys - also I love those choc hi-fi bars , even 1/2 one with a cuppa does me sometimes. I like the choc moose too; just run of of quark all the time; it seems to be in everything with SW lol!

btw - try the Edamame bean stir fry in tesco; it's so tasty with a bit of soy sauce and egg noodles; much nicer than the usual chunky stir frys xx

Thanks for all your support ladies, you're all wonderful :) I'm back on track now :) xxx

we often have lean bacon grilled, mushrooms, egg and either baked beans or tinned tomatoes and as an added treat at weekends, we do potatoes, everything fried in fry light or grilled so its all free and very very filling and doesnt use either a or b choice. other day i have fruit and muller light yoghurt, any type of fruit that is free and if i want to use by b choice i have either 28g of fruit nd fibre or 42g bran flakes, with fruit and yoghurt. some days when i dont mind using my a and b, we have 2 small slices of wholemeal bread with 42g low fat grated cheese toasted under the grill, the 42g just about covers the two rounds of bread. sometimes we have egg on toast using fry light or beans or tomatoes on toast :) x

i am a fruit for breakfast person but how about scrambled eggs done in microwave with beans

i am eating grapes as my hubby went a little mad with them on sat ( asked him to buy a bunch at market to decorate our cake as we had one made of cheese and he came back with 10 bags lol )

yeah lol bless him he thought that as the cake was big we would need loads hee hee

yeah i go to weigh in tonite and then i am starting fresh in the morning as thats all the celebrations over for a while

i worried like you aswell but even if you lose half a pound it is a step in the right direction.

i didnt really understand at first but after the first couple of weeks become much easier and i really did change my way of eating/cooking!

let us know how you get on. im getting weighed tonight aswell xx

My friend and I were going to make the canelloni on Saturday but the pasta tubes were ridiculously expensive in tesco so we created our own recipe!

approx 500g fresh washed spinach
1 tub quark
1 300g tub ff cottage cheese
Salt & pepper
Sprinkling of nutmeg
Lasagne sheets
2x 400g tinned tomatoes (or passata but has loads of added salt which isn't good for you)
2 cloves garlic
1 onion
5 mushrooms

1. Mix quark and cottage cheese together with S&P and nutmeg.
2. Put spinach in a pan with 2 tbsp of water and a lid on for 5 mins
3. Fry chopped onion, garlic and mushrooms in fry light til onions translucent
4. Add tomatoes to onion & garlic mix
5. Chop spinach and add to qark mix
6. Using the lasagne pasta layer the quark and spinach mix alternately with the tomato mix
7. Bake for 45 mins in oven at 190 degrees :)

Eat and enjoy as free on EE!
