Hope Calzone doesn't mind me starting the new thread- we've run out of room- eek!

Me new thing for this week has been cauliflower rice. Filling, doesn't taste too bad with strong flavours like chilli or curry but boy does it stink!

Ending the day on just one HExA and B, 14 syns and a sense of achievement!

That speedy prawn curry from the curry heaven book was so nice and took 15 minutes - I'm guessing you could use any (cooked) meat instead of the prawns.

Twinklestar2 · 28/04/2016 20:53

I stayed the same tonight! Glad I went to weigh in. Smile

ALemonyPea · 28/04/2016 21:20

What's the SW lemon cake Em? I love a bit of cake.

I had chicken in oyster sauce for tea, 6.5 syns, but didn't eat the full,portion, so probably less. I'm stuffed!

MamOfTwo · 28/04/2016 22:26

Well done, all losers! Feeling a bit down today as had a day where I thought I can work all Syns out at end of day. Just totalled them up and it's way beyond 5-15 - think it's come in at 37.5! Oops. Stupid shop-bought sandwich (just started a thread for lunch ideas when you're caught on the hop) and delicious tartlet thing in which a million or so Syns lurked. Oh well.

EmilyK83 · 28/04/2016 22:35

Well done Twinkle!

Mam - it'll be fine - just cut down syns to 5 a day for the rest of the week maybe to compensate? Off to check out your new thread...

OrianaBanana · 29/04/2016 06:44

Boogie if you find the weight planner online on your phone, then save the page to your home screen then it looks and behaves just like an app xx

Sixpencenonethericher · 29/04/2016 07:57

Morning all I put on a pound never mind I'll just carry on

emwithme · 29/04/2016 09:25

SW lemon drizzle cake (apparently also works with oranges, but I've not tried it):

2 lemons - zest and juice
5 eggs, separated
45g granulated sweetener (split into 30g and 15g)
50g self raising flour

Add 30g of the sweetener and flour in a bowl and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the mix. Using a hand grater, zest both lemons and add the zest to the mix. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Keep the whites aside, beat the yolks and add to the mixture.

Whisk the egg whites until they are fluffy and form soft peaks. Fold into the mixture (best way is to add a spoonful to the mixture and beat it, then fold the rest of the mixture into the egg whites).

Put in loaf tin (I use a liner in a metal tray, but otherwise, spray tin with a little frylight).

Bake for 20-30 minutes on 180C (fan - 20 mins, non fan - nearer 30) until golden brown (allow to cool a little - I always skip this step!)

Mix the juice of the second lemon and 15g sweetener, pour over the top of the cake and bake for another 10 mins until the top of the cake is beautifully glazed.

Take out of oven and dance around kitchen impatiently until cake is ready to eat

8 syns for THE WHOLE THING.

EmilyK83 · 29/04/2016 09:28

A pound's not much Sixpence - will come off in no time! Smile

Today's plan for me...

B - fat free natural yoghurt and strawberries

L - leftover asparagus and spinach soup from yesterday (it's so good!)

D - KFC style chicken with SW chips, baked beans and SW coleslaw

Skinny latte this morning as HexA, Alpen Lights as HexB. What can I say? I'm a creature of habit...

Managed to stick to 5 syns yesterday, trying to undo the damage from Tues night. Not sure I can keep it up for the long weekend, though, haha...

froubylou · 29/04/2016 11:40

Morning all

It's not going well here.

My lovely meal of fish and veg with new potatoes didn't happen. Usual dashing around meant it was 8.30 before I could even think about starting it. Dp went to chip shop instead. But I had a fish with no batter, mushy peas and literally a handful of chips. So not a complete disaster.

Then this morning ds has been a little sod so haven't eaten before we come out. Am at soft play (when he wakes up) so am hoping they have something sw friendly. And tonight is curry night. Will be looking for the lowest syn dish and having boiled rice.

So although I will possibly be over am trying not to completely lose it.

Back on track tomorrow.

HelenF35 · 29/04/2016 12:17

Emily do you have a recipe for the soup please? I LOVE asparagus! Grin

ALemonyPea · 29/04/2016 12:52

I'm going to try making that cake at the weekend, I love lemon cake, it's my favourite.

So today I've been a busy bee, but managed so far to be good. Going to Costco later, so could go tits up. Will eat something very filling before I go.

B: SW steak bake, melon (hexa hexb)
S: fruit salad from M&S cafe, while everyone else had cake (yay me)
D: sesame prawn and black rice salad (worked it as 4 syns from M&S), prawn and calamari pot (1.5 syns)
T: undecided, probably gammon, SW chips and speedy veg

Normally wouldn't use syns for a meal, but I've not been food shopping yet and wanted something quick and easy.

randomer · 29/04/2016 13:26

mmmmm this week has been a flop...pick pick...bread and butter. Weigh in is Monday,will be delighted if no gain. The following week meal out on the Sunday,this is a rare thing for us but will show up the following day?
The following week a much needed 5 day break ( UK self catering) so miss wiegh in.
This could very easily slide away from me. Lost motivation.

EmilyK83 · 29/04/2016 13:48

Helen - I made it up! 2 packs of asparagus from Asda, and 4 balls of frozen spinach (you know the bags you get where it's frozen in balls so it's easy to portion out?) I snapped the ends off the asparagus, cut the rest into chunks and put it in a pan with the spinach and about half a litre of veg stock, then cooked till soft...then blitzed it and stirred through some fat free natural yoghurt when I served it to give a bit of creaminess. Made enough for two portions - or maybe I'm greedy!

Randomer - is there a group near where you're going on your break? You can weigh in at other groups in the uk as long as you take your book and card - loads of people in my SW group have done that when they've been on uk holidays...

ALemonyPea · 29/04/2016 17:08

What's the cauliflower sauce recipe?

I've had chuck in the wok and hope for the best for my tea tonight. Having it early as going to Costco soon. I've got gammon strips, mushrooms, yellow pepper, courgette, onion, carrots, udon noodles, chilli, garlic and soy. Not too bad if I say so myself.

I am so crap at cooking soup, yours sounds lovely Emily.

EmilyK83 · 29/04/2016 17:13

Lemony - it's so easy! Just chuck in veg and stock, then maybe drain some of the stock off before you blitz it - then you can add more gradually to sort out the consistency. Worth experimenting! Reason I gave it a go again this week is because a few weeks ago I had soup for lunch for three days and ended up losing 3lb that week...kinda hoping it negates Tuesday's night out and gives me a good loss this week!

ALemonyPea · 29/04/2016 17:18

I will have to. I love soup as well. Might try the asparagus and spinach one. A lot of the women at my group do cabbage soup, but I think that would make me too parpy.

peachypips · 29/04/2016 17:56

3 pounds off and my 1/2 stone award! Yay!

VodkaIceAndLemon · 29/04/2016 18:25

Well done to all the losers!

I have given myself quite a challenging weekend. Today we were browsing round the shops, and thorntons were selling off boxes of chocs for silly money. I now have 2 lovely boxes for the princely sum of £3.50! The plan is to open them when everyone is home, there's five of us, then I won't sit and scoff the lot!

Tomorrow I'm seeing a friend, supposedly for wine, but I'm taking vodka & tonic instead. I might make some sort of dippy thing, with veg sticks for dunking. Then I won't be sidetracked if she puts nibbles out. That's the theory anyway!

Fingers crossed I keep on track x

froubylou · 29/04/2016 19:33

I love soups too. I made a really nice one the other day for lunches.

I used one of those veg soup packs from tesco, made it up as directed but added some celery too as it was lurking in the fridge. I also had a bit of chicken left over from the night before I had cooked in a tomato sauce so added that with a couple of stock cubes, some cayenne pepper and some paprika.oh and half a tin of baked beans. Blended about 1/3 of it then stirred it through the rest and it was lovely. Really hearty and filling. Made 4 big bowls and still have one in the freezer.

Managed to survive soft play without eating. So had a couple of pieces of fruit when I got home.

Won't negate the takeaway we are having though. Am having chicken tikka starter but dp will have half I bet, then chicken with chickpeas in a tomato based sauce with boiled rice. Will be over on the syns but hopefully will pull it all back by weigh in on Wednesday.

Will be extra good for the next couple of days.

ALemonyPea · 29/04/2016 20:05

I survived Costco without buying or eating anything I'm not meant to. Hurrah!

Well done on the half stone Peachy.

EmilyK83 · 29/04/2016 20:20

Lemony - I agree, I think cabbage would be a big mistake for me too!! And well done on the Costco survival!

Well done Peachy, that's brilliant!

Just demolished our KFC style chicken. Using couscous for the coating may be a tweak, but I'm being a rebel and not synning it Grin
