I've been busy this afternoon and made hairy bikers chicken tikka masala (to freeze), sw pulled pork (for tomorrow), baked potatoes for this evening and an asparagus and bacon quiche with sweet potato & oat crust (from the slimmingfoodie site). The quiche is odd but good according to DP - I agree and its something a bit different for lunch.

Hi everyone, had a lazy morning. Visited my mum this afternoon and we ended up booking a weekend break for Easter. Gives me plenty time to get to target.
Made dh and Ds a chicken stir fry and made myself SW chips, mushrooms in Yeungs curry sauce and sugar snap peas. It was very yummy.
Planning spag Bol tomorrow. Hoping to get some shar gluten free rolls to make garlic bread. Not quite sure how I will make it yet.
I am really missing exercise. Still 13 days before I can exercise again. Thinking about doing some of the more gentler warm up exercises from Burlesque.
Well done on the cooking Maya.
Ignore the chocolate strawberry.

Bluebagoo - I only ever feel tall next to toddlers. I met a ten year old who was taller than me the other day!
I was desperate to stay 100% on plan yesterday but life got in the way. We went school uniform shopping and I fully intended to be home by lunch time but we didn't get back till 4pm. I was so hungry. I had some mango as a snack, so far so good, but by about 2pm i was ready to eat my arm so had a fresh pretzel from Tesco. Oh well, nothing to stop me sticking to plan today.

Hi all, may I join you?. I'm rejoining SW on Saturday for what feels like the hundredth time! Hopefully this time it clicks, I always seem to lose a stone, give up and sneak away. Not good when I have 8 stone to lose. 
I'm determined this time I can't keep on the join, lose weight, leave, gain it all back and then some merry-go round.
IvorHughJarrs · 20/08/2017 12:26
Glitter I have about the same to lose as you (although I don't know if I'll want to go that far as I am older and don't think I would look right at a normal weight now). I've been on SW a couple of months but have had holidays in there so not steady progress. I'm about 1 1/2 stone down so far
Good luck

Hello all, so so naughty this weekend eating all sorts of terrible things and thoroughly enjoying it. This was always planned as an off plan weekend though as we have been away in Edinburgh and just wanted to enjoy myself.
On our way home now so I'm back to being on plan tomorrow. Need to do a shop and get some nice fresh speed food as want to be big on speed food this week.

Hi all.
Well done groovester!
Well yesterday was the penultimate in a long line of events that I've had in the diary that stops me for sticking to plan. Last one next Sunday. Hangover food today but on plan from tomorrow and want to do what I can from now until holiday in November apart from next Sunday.

Managed to get through dc party today with small slice cake, one biscuit, three small sandwiches of ham made with the heb crustless stuff and 3/4 cocktail sausage rolls.
Could have been far far worse and I have quite a few syns spare this week so not stressing.
TurquoiseOwl98 · 20/08/2017 17:16
I really need to stop doing what I'm doing. Eat shit for 3 days and then not eat for 4... I literally have had an Indian and 2 McDonald's this week, that's worse than how I used to eat!!! I then haven't really eaten for 4 days... Just so I lose. I know everyone said plan and I really should. Weigh in for me tomorrow...

I have a newbie question about overnight oats. The recipe says to use 'gluten free' oats. My oats aren't in a packet, they are in a storage container. Are oats not usually gluten free? It is a lot of years since I've cooked for anyone with coeliacs, and I can't remember.

Better weekend than most here but still had a night out ending in a takeaway, then DH disappeared to the shop yesterday and came back with huge bags of M&Ms and popcorn for watching movies. At least he didn't buy any alcohol though so just the one night for that.

We had the slimming world pulled pork with rice and lots of veg for dinner. It was delicious. Then I foolishly decided to do the cardio section of my new zumba dvd - I'm the colour of an aubergine and my legs are like jelly!
I bought a bag of fun size chocs today. They are all between 3.5 and 5 syns and I'm going to have one bar as treat on evenings when I do some exercise as a bit of an incentive.
