I think I've put on 1lb on holiday which I don't suppose is too bad, hoping to lose it before Thursday though!

How is everyone else?

here sorry

Tortilla chips - Free on Green
Dried lasagne leaves
Fry Light
Cajan spice

Lightly cook the lasagne in boiling water until just soft (approx 4 mins). Drain, dry and cut into triangles. Spray a baking tray with Fry Light, lay the lasagne triangles onto the baking tray and dust with cajan spice.
Bake at 200 C until crisp.Take care! they burn easily
Serve with garlic fromage frais


Chick pea mock peanuts - Free on Green
Open a can of chick peas and drain.
Spread out on a baking sheet, sprinkle over spices (I've used paprika, cajan spices, morrocan spices, garam masala - not all at the same time!)
Cook in a oven at 200 or mark 6 for about 1/2 hour, until dry and hard, a bit like peanuts.
Keep them in a airtight box.

they;re really nice honest! I made some today actually. Usually make a couple of batches a week. The mock peanuts are ok too but not as nice as the tortillas. Serve with hummus or a other syn free dip.

Oh, I spray the baking tray and the top of the pasta too before I srinkle the spices on. They take about 15 minutes i'd say. Right I'm off now.

Thanks Delgirl I had a really nice time. We were staying in a self-catering cottage on an island off the west coast of Scotland, it was far more remote that any of us had expected so became a bit of a food and wine fest, very nice kitchen stocked with great equipment just waiting to be used. The track up to the cottage was so scary I didn't want to drive it, left that up to DH, so didn't manage any exercise classes and it rained so much that we barely did any walking. I suppose I should consider myself fortunate I only put on 1lb !

Hope you had a nice time.

Oh can anyone doing Weight Watchers tell me how many points my DH would be allowed? I think he has crept up to about 16 stone now and has realised he needs to do something about it. He is quite fit, does a fair bit of exercise, just eats like a pig!

Demented: WW men 16-18 stone 32 points, 14-16 stone 30 points.

Hope he wants to join you in this. My dh has been doing WW (going to the groups and everything) for 9 weeks. He's lost 6" off his waist, and has lost 36 lb! I'm so proud of him.

Thanks Roisin, that's load of points ! Well done to your DH!

Bunnyrabbit, it was Arran, it was very nice, can I shamelessly plug the cottage we stayed in here . It easily slept six adults and four children although could have accommodated more.

It was lovely, we went with my parents and friends who have two little girls about the same age as my two DSs. It is a fantastic house, I highly recommend it!

No change for me.. but then I've been a very bad girl this week, culminating in yummy icecream at the cinema last night.

I have slapped my wrists and spoken to myself firmly (am hoping DH will do the same tonight ) and will be good next week.
