Jingle that looks delicious and everyone knows chip shop curry is just powder and water so completely free
Mummy that looks really good what did you marinade the chicken in? Did you make the tzatsiki yourself?

I ate too much chocolate last night I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up like a bear waking up from hibernation,nailed two chocolate bars and then went to bed

I'm out for tea tonight with the kids and will be having wine so going to be super good all day to try and offset a bit.

[MummyInTheNecropolis]

@troppibambini I used this recipe for the chicken and the tzatsiki, I just left out the olive oil and cooked with frylight. It was delicious, I’ll definitely make it again

[troppibambini]

@MummyInTheNecropolis your chicken kebabs look lovely I might have to copy you, same for the Mexican rice and quesadilla @Bl0ndi3, yum!

I'm back after a weekend of badness, highlights include: a dirty great pepperoni pizza, two bottles of wine, bread and butter pudding with custard and a curry made with lashings of oil.. the curry did have spinach in though so that makes up for most of it eh?

L - butternut squash soup (2 syns coconut milk) and a pitta with cheese and spicy mayo (HEB, HEA, 1 syn)

T - fish fingers, chips and mushy peas (8 syns for 4 fish fingers), might also sneak a spoonful of tartare sauce just to make it a bit more grown up

S - apple and strawbs

bit over the 10 syns I like to allow myself during the week but will probably have less another day

[Bl0ndi3]

B - bran flakes with milk (a+b) with a coffee (rest of a +1)
L - leftover bolognese with salad
D - broccoli cheese and chive frittata 😂 weekly staple now, with new potatoes and salad (a)

S - apple, zero cal jelly

I'll be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow so weighing in every Tuesday going forward so hoping to have a very very low syn day today to offset the higher syns days I've had!

Whilst I am still so early on I wouldn't mind losing a few lbs so that when I gain later on it's not as depressing haha. As I get closer to second trimester I'll be all about the maintain! I'll start following the proper pregnancy plan then too and have an extra B like I should. I still eat loads now cause my portions are huge and it's all well balanced and healthy so I don't think I'm doing jellybean any harm! Got my booking in appointment in a few weeks so I'd like to be maybe a few lbs lighter for when I get weighed 🤞🏻

[Bl0ndi3]

@JingleAndTonic I've bought a giant butternut squash and some coconut milk with a view to making a soup as you always mention it haha do you have a recipe you could share? I adore butternut squash 😍

[troppibambini]

Hi all I've also had a shockingly bad weekend so trying to pull it back before weigh in Wednesday but not holding out much hope.
L-veg soup
D-roast chicken, roast potatoes(1) , mash, carrots and broccoli gravy (2)
A fig and 2 hifis.

[MummyInTheNecropolis]

Lost 4lbs at weigh in tonight. Got my 1.5 stone award and slimmer of the week! I’m over the moon with that

[Bl0ndi3]

@MummyInTheNecropolis AMAZING! great loss ❤️

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Wow @MummyInTheNecropolis you do put me to shame

Well done 🌟🌟🌟

[JingleAndTonic]

wow @MummyInTheNecropolis well done!!

@Bl0ndi3 I don't have an exact recipe because I just throw it all together and hope for the best but generally I do -
a bag of frozen butternut squash (or if I can't get that then squash and sweet potato mix) which probably does equate to a fresh squash I just can't bear to cut them up
1 onion
3 ish carrots, only if I have them
2 garlic cloves
ginger (frozen again)
chilli which again is optional but I like everything spicy
half a can of coconut milk
2 stock cubes, I use chicken but veg works
and enough water to cover
I have a soup maker so just throw it all in there and it cooks away and blends it for me but if you were doing it in a pot just chuck it all in and simmer until the squash is soft then blend it with a stick blender and it tastes affa fine if I do say so myself!

L - more of me soup (2 syns for the coconut milk) and a fish finger roll (4 syns, HEB, 1 syn tartare sauce) bit of an odd combo but just couldn't let those fish fingers go to waste

T - chilli and rice with cheese (HEA)

S - strawberries and a mini meringue (1 syn)

[Bl0ndi3]

@JingleAndTonic excellent thank you! I have taken to peeling my fresh squash by just using a big ass knife and try into cut the skin off close as I can and then I just bin the bottom bit with all the seeds 😔🤣 I've gone to the effort of getting all that squash from the bottom bit and it's not enough to make it worth the hassle

I will give this a try this week for sure thank you 😍🥰

[Bl0ndi3]

Weigh in -3/4lbs is fine with me

B - coffee (part A +1)
L - frittata with potatoes and salad
D - burger with sweet potato chips and salad (0.5)
