Shape fat free rhubarb/apple and custard 0.5 syns great for pudding. I love muller fat free greek style and I hate muller light. The greek style are creamy and yum. 0.5 syns each, morello cherry are fab!

GirlFryDay · 27/03/2013 13:51

thanks newpup will give the Greek Style a go... Spelga low fat yoghurts here in NI are 6 syns I think - just not worth it!

KissMyGrits · 27/03/2013 14:27

Salmon fishcakes = really nice, I used tinned red salmon, missed out the lemon instead I added some steamed spring onion and served with mushy peas a few sw chips and a dollop of ketchup

Pete?s Salmon Fishcakes

Serves 4

Ingredients

400g potatoes/ 2 large potatoes (ff)
140g fresh salmon/ 2 salmon fillets (ff)
1 handful of parsley
1 lemon (ss)(sff)

Method

Peel and cut the potatoes and boil them in salted water in a large saucepan, after 10mins put a bamboo steamer or a colander, on top of the saucepan, with the salmon in it, seasoned with salt & pepper, if using a colander cover with cooking foil to allow the salmon to steam. Cook for a further 10 mins.

When the potatoes and the salmon are cooked then remove the salmon, flake it and remove the skin, and place in a grass dish, drain the potatoes and then return to the pan, mash and allow to cool.

Add the potatoes, lemon rind & juice, parsley and salt & pepper, scup up in your hand a portion of the mix and form into a fishcake, adjusting them to a size that suits you.

Place into a fridge to allow them to stiffen.

Spray a frying pan with Fry Light and cook until browned, turn over and repeat.

S-banana, black coffee x2, apple
L-pasta, tuna, sweetcorn, 2 light blue laughing cow (1/2 heA),water
S-grapes, Alpen light bar (1/2 heB), 3 chocolate eggs (weighed in at 23g so 6.5syns).

thanks Smile

obrigada · 28/03/2013 09:34

Morning everyone, been a while since I was on here, keep stopping and starting so no brainer really that my weight hasn't gone down, am using SW online and started on "express week" this morning. Had omelette with tomato, mushrooms, onions and red pepper.

Fisharefriendsnotfood · 28/03/2013 09:52

I've convinced my husband to give slimming world a go. I'm always home for lunch so have lots of options but can anyone suggest low syn on the go lunches or packed lunch style ideas for him please?

laughalot · 28/03/2013 11:43

Fish

How about some homemade soup yum yum and no syns.

noyouhavehadawee · 28/03/2013 15:09

yes yes homemade soup Smile
today i have put on like thirty grams this day early weigh in, ah well the diet goes on ...

iklboo · 28/03/2013 17:45

Juicy Lucy burgers & sweet potato wedges for tea tonight.

Big Breakfast planned for tomorrow. Bacon (no fat), low fat sausage (1syn), black pudding (2syns), mushrooms & tomatoes. Yum.

Furball · 28/03/2013 18:25

the Bucantini all'Amatriciania - on page 58 of march/april mag is delish - I only used half the bacon, thought 16 rashers and 4 pancetta strips abit over the top.

Would be nice with chicken as well Smile

beanandspud · 28/03/2013 18:26

Hello all

Sorry haven't been around much, too many work things and despite being good with food I have had far too much Wine. Again Blush.

Well done to those of you that have lost this week Grin.

B - yogurt and strawberries
L - vegetable soup (homemade with no fat and lot of beans/lentils etc)
S - fruit, three dark rye ryvita with cottage cheese (syns), one Alpen light bar
D - leftover veggie biriyani

Not sure how Easter weeekend will pan out though, think I might be 'relaxing' the rules somewhat and come back to the plan properly on Tuesday.

Has anyone got anything nice planned for the weekend?

BadRoly · 28/03/2013 18:49

Beans we have nothing much planned - just looking forwards to doing stuff all together (dh works away Mon-Thurs). We're in Cornwall so plenty to do Grin

I am not going to sweat it if I fall off the plan, April includes Easter eggs Wink, dh's birthday, our wedding anniversary, ds1's birthday, my bf's dh's 60th party and my Mum coming down for 2 weeks...

My goal is not to put on too much rather than try and lose!

noyouhavehadawee · 28/03/2013 19:12

I must admit im a little concerned about the impact of easter, i am of with the dc a lot of it as is dh who likes to treat us to eating out when on hols then to add to it i gave up chocolate for lent and have a ton of it looking at me willing it to be easter sunday - oh dear will this be the unravelling of me?

iklboo · 28/03/2013 19:24

Had a short notice invitation to friends tomorrow night. We're taking a syn free chicken tikka massala & onion bhajis, they're making SW friendly lamb curry & poppadums. The only real syns will be the drink I suppose. We'll try to be good. Grin

BadRoly · 28/03/2013 19:26

NoYou - as I see it, this is something I want to maintain for life. Which means that there will be fluctuations and some weeks will be a write off. I think if we can accept that and not beat ourselves up for eating our body weight in chocolate one weekend, then we will achieve our target weights eventually AND THEN MAINTAIN THEM FOR GOOD!

I realise I am the person who this time last week was sobbing over custard creams but I was having a very very baaaad week last week emotionally!

KissMyGrits · 28/03/2013 19:37

I'm relaxing this Easter as DD is insisting on hot cross buns tomorrow, we have lunch out planned and I'm possibly going to my Mums on Sunday which will mean too much wine.

Badroly couldn't agree more about it being a lifetime change we will fluctuate, I'm just in a rush to get it off before hols. As long as we don't permanently slip back into old habits the odd weekend of indulgence is fine!

Cupcake1982 · 28/03/2013 19:39

Evening ladies,

noyouhavehadawee · 28/03/2013 19:45
