Oh lecture over

SWlurker you are our leader! it was you who started the thread, don't leave us now!
have you tried changing the balance of fruit and veg you eat? eg if you eat a lot of fruit cut down a bit and eat more veg instead.
I have been eating a lot of salads on red days which I know sounds dull but has been ok. I do them with warm chicken and bacon and cook the meat with some schwarz piri piri seasoning which makes it really spicy. Use some parmesan cheese as a healthy extra and you can hardly taste the lettuce at all!

1.5 off this week so thats 11lb in 4 weeks
Am going for 3lb this week so have to be super good and do my body magic[wii fit for 50 mins a night]

Only 1lb off again getting a bit frustrated but.........keep on keeping on. Consultant said only 13 weeks to Xmas!!!!!!

lol at 'hardly taste the lettuce'

went out for a meal last night to zizzis which is a pizza/pasta place, looked on t'interweb at menu before I went and chose a mixed seafood pasta dish or a vegetarian pasta dish, couldn't decide. Got there and they've changed the menu so was abit put out as by then really fancied the seafood. Nearly went for a rissotto but plumped for a calzone (whats the difference between that an a pizza?) anyway, that was full of hot air, so very SW friendly and then looked at the puddings and OMG is was gorgous! hot banana on a waffle with toffee and chocolate sauce with a dollop of ice cream, so had that. god knows what that'll do for weigh in tonight, but it's the only decent pudding I have had for 6 months, the only one (and I've only had a few) where I've thought yep, that was worth it.

Morning all

Does anyone have the pork meatballs recipe that was featured in the July magazine?

I cut it out last night and DP threw it away because he was in a bad mood!!!!

I've bought the mince now so really need the recipe!!

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

p.s. Does anyone have this week's password please? Can't get hold of consultant

Password is gammon this week :0 Made me feel rather peckish

Pinkjenny - started in May so that's been over 17 weeks.

Anyone seen this month's mag yet? I had to recheck the age of the voiceover woman, there's no way she's 43!

May have the recipe somewhere, unless dh has gone on another manic recycling spree...

Great going weblette.

Can anyone tell me why Mullerice is so high in syns!!! Especially as I'm in the middle of eating one and don't really want to stop.

Too late, I've eaten it. Bringing my syn value for today to 15. This is going to be a baaaaad week, I can feel it.

Just flicked through the mag. Some lovely recipes in there.

hi all any1 got any cheap easy green recipes please

maybe here is a recipe for you

Thank you so much 3andnomore!!! You're a star!

you are welcome!

mmm just eating rice peas onions mushrooms garlic and curry pwder looks horrible but it is luvly

lol...we had Bangers (Bramley Apple quorn sausages for me, yum) and mashed Potatoes, Carrots, Peas and Gravy....was very nice and suited the weather

have tried to get back on the wagon today and had good breakfast and lunch and have made sensible dinner (which is a bit burnt so might not taste very nice ) but then my friend an I needed to go for a cream tea to celebrate her daughter starting school...

will keep trying

lol tommy

SWlurker - you are back!!! Dont defect to WW - I tried it and found counting all those points a pain in the a**e!!

Nemo - great going there - did you put back on any that you had lost before - keep up the good work - we are getting a Wii for Xmas as a family present and I have already asked for the Wii-fit board as well!! Going to do my salsa dance DVD in a mo - after the Teco online shop!

I need to lose 5 lb before I go in for my leg op on the 15th - so that is half a pound a day! Going to stick to mainly red days and as few syns as I can get away with not having! My BMI was borderline for being a day case so I am assuming they will weigh me on the day to calculate the amount of anaesthetic needed, so I really have to be extra good - I will keep you posted of my loses - this is one week when I need to weigh daily!!!!!

So many of us have been ;off the bandwagon' with the summer hols - I dont work Mondays so usually stick DS in his buggy and go for a good hour long brisk walk - but not done it for the last 8 weeks, as DD wouldnt entertain that level of walking! One of the mums at school is a SW consultant and says that Sept is her busiest time with new and lapsed members - more so than January! Havent seen her yet as been on course (which has stopped me picking as been stuck in a conference room for 2 days and the same tomorrow!).

oh i real want a wii and wii fit board both my sisters have got them but they don't use them but won't sell it 2 me lol

oh yes wii and wii fit....will be our family christmas present ( I...erm we decided )///So, boys will only get little stocking filler kind of presents individually!...but they will love the wii, I hope!

Hi everyone

Well done on all the losses this week.

Today's my first proper day back on SW plan. Feeling very motivated and have been out shopping and got lots of fruit, veg, yoghurts and quorn sausages! No wine this weekend as I'm running a 10k so that will get me off to a good start hopefully as it will save some syns.

I have some chicken to use up tonight, does anyone have a tasty curry or casserole-y type recipe I could try out. Will probably be on a green day and using the chicken as a HE so that I can have lots of potatoes or rice with it.
