Seeing what others eat really helps me :)

To us all losing weight

Breakfast - 2 skinless chicken sausages, scrambled eggs and baked tomatoes.

Lunch - Veg sushi (1.5 syns), packet Quavers (4.5 syns), Banana

Dinner - baked salmon, jacket potato, sweetcorn.

Carrots and coriander soup for lunch

Cheerios and yoghurt and grapes for dessert

Chicken dhansak for dinner

Well I screwed up this morning deffo due to Aunt Flo so I’m not gonna feel guilty about it lol but I am proud of myself as we went out later this afternoon and treated my son to a McDonald’s and I sat there and watched him and my husband eat lol

Dinner didn’t go to plan but I did a chicken egg fried rice with a mountain of crispy kale lol still on plan and delicious

B - banana and satsuma
L - pasta bolognese
D - pasta bolognese (boring I know, but I had loads left from yesterday and it was lovely!)
S - mini choc fingers (5.5), breakaway bar (5)

Chicken egg fry rice sounds yummy

My tea was RANK!!!

Had a frozen sw lasagne - Tasted of nothing and I love lasagne

So guess it’s worth spending syns on white sauce /cheese

Anyone else struggle when out and about over lunch ? I only had time to grab some
Fruit and a hifi to bring to work for breakfast then had to take kids for flu jab straight after, got held up so needed to grab something on the road.... went for stew from a garage.... no idea if syn free or not! What do others do for emergency lunches out on the road?

Dinner - pasta with chickpeas. Really lush and only 3 syns for oil

Decided I couldn't be arsed to make curry, this was way easier. Dh was happy as well!

Had loads of fruit and 1 yoghurt as a snack (0.5 syn) and a couple of milky coffees made at work (hea). Just had a piece of chocolate (3 syns) and going to bed as I've been asleep on the sofa for the last hour!

Have made winter minestrone tonight for tomorrow as well, 1 syn per portion

Weigh in tomorrow night. I'm not feeling very positive about it even though I've had an ok week. I just don't 'feel' like I've lost. I know that sounds ridiculous.

I just use quark blondes. Some people at group use blended cottage cheese aswell. I think both are ok, even dh likes it and he's fussy.

Didn't end up having any snacks tonight or my heb. Had half a pack of pesto pasta with chicken and roasted veg for tea with cheese on so finishing today on 1 syn.

B- cinnamon "pancake" (2 eggs beaten with cinnamon, fried in a tiny bit of butter,, covered in 1 tsp sugar) 1.5 syn for sugar and butter

L - winter minestrone 0.5 syn for oil 2

D - some use of bolognaise - probably lasagne (i have been reading your white sauce debates with interest!) Or if i can't be arsed just with pasta (hea for parmesan / mozzarella)

S - lattes at work with almond milk, satsumas, maybe a hifi as I'm not having my heb for brekkie. Tbc

blondeshavemorefun tell me about it! I had it the other week 🤢

Tbh apart from the tomarto sauce from sw it’s all rank

B toast b eggs bacon beans

L mince veg and rice

T jacket tuna and salad and mayo

Good luck with wi tonight

And if need emergency lunch then a pack of ham or chicken and fruit and water

Snack plate before dinner...lots of speed. Plus an alcohol free g&t and 30g peanuts (7 syns). Please excuse the chaos of my house. Dog also pictured - may share my snacks - he seems keen

Defo just spag bol for dinner, i am knackered

Aah gorgeous dog tiger, our old girl is 14 now and spends lots of time snoozing.

I felt really meh today. Just wanted to be at home on my own pottering which is exactly what I've done. Think it might just be the weather.

I made the Italian version of chicken soup. My mum always made it when I was ill so it's real comfort food.

B-mango raspberries and Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of mango and passion fruit coulis (1)

L- mums pastina

D-campfire stew with baked potato and red cabbage
5syns worth of low sugar chocolate

Neither of those pictures look particularly appetising
But I promise they were tasty!!!

Breakfast : grapenuts (heb) and mixed berries with milk (part hea).

Lunch: egg white omlette with cheese (hea) and peas and carrots.

Tea: smoked basa fillets x2 with mediterranean veg and broccoli.

Snacks: persimmon, an apple, melon and 2 x Ferrer richer (well 2 white ones and 1 dark) - 9 syns and a highlights hot choc 2 syns.

He is a gorgeous boy. He's also permanently hungry at the because he's on steroids...i heard a suspicious noise from the kitchen just now and found a large bar of lindt85% chocolate magically on the floor and a very guilty looking dog...he's having a sw approved snack of carrots and cauliflower leaves instead.

Had 3 syns square of chocolate and about to call it a night.

. Glad to have found a morning class this time rather than an evening so won't feel need to starve all day!

I lost 1 lb. more would have been nice as been good all week bar cake but guess that birthday cake snuck up

Lovely dog @TigerJoy

@Blondes

All SW fodder is shite. How it got to the general public through taste testing is beyond me.....🤦🏻‍♀️

My SW lasagne recipe is life changing. Honestly it’s fabulous and even my sw group leader said so......🤣🤣🤣

I make a low fat turkey mince sauce with speed vegetables and garlic and tomatoes.
For the white sauce, I boil up frozen cauliflower in veggie stock. Drain when soft but keep the stock. Then blitz with hand blender adding stock until Yvette the consistency you want.

You end up with what is just a jug of puréed cauliflower but your can use this as a white sauce for lasagne, macaroni cheese etc adding your hea cheese. You then just layer up the lasagne.

And it’s speedy.

Thank you and good night.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣

*Yvette? Don’t know who she is...... 🤷🏼‍♀️

You have I meant to write. 🙄

Well done @blondeshavemorefun - a 1lb loss is a loss. If you do that every week until Christmas you'll be half a stone lighter.

I know a lb is ok but last few weeks been 2. And was only that bloody cake at last Sunday’s party that must have done it

Tho was good cake !!!

Cauliflower in stock. I’m happy to try as love lasagne and think I once used a jar that was 26/28 syns

Think the Asda or dolmio light was 20. So guess if making a portion to freeze and df have the other half 😂it’s 5 syns
