StrawberriesandCherries · 14/10/2009 21:16

GrimRIAper · 14/10/2009 21:37

aww connie and SandC, it'll show up next week if you're being good.

I am not being good but I am reorganising my kitchen cupboards so I can get to things useful for SW easily (scales, cook books, magazines etc), and am planning a good green day tomorrow.

Tesco seems to have some good offers on quorn ATM (I bought mini kievs! In my defence I was almost delirious with hunger as I was on a red day)

StrawberriesandCherries · 14/10/2009 21:47

Thanks RIA, I appreciate that. Hope things go well for you too!

GrimRIAper · 14/10/2009 22:33

connie - what do you have for chinese that is within syns?

cab you experienced SW emebers cast your eye over this recipe and tell me roughly if it's OK/syns please?

Woolton Pie

Ingredients:
1lb diced potatoes
1lb cauliflower
1lb diced carrots
1lb diced swede
3 spring onions
1 teaspoon vegetable extract
1 tablespoon oatmeal
A little chopped parsley

Method:
Cook everything together with just enough water to cover, stirring often to prevent it sticking to the pan. Let the mixture cool.
Spoon into a pie dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Cover with a crust of potatoes or wholemeal pastry.
Bake in a moderate oven until golden brown.
Serve hot with gravy.

no pastry obviously

(DS1s big passion is the war and at the weekend we are hopefully going to a wartime weekend event locally, so I thought I would give them a weekend of wartime food!)

MamaG · 15/10/2009 10:48

Hi all

I haven't been to group for 3 weeks for good reasons, honest! I'll slink back next week in a sneaky manner.

I haven't weighed myself at home as my scales are iffy, so don't know how I've been doing.

I have had more syns that I should though, I know that

BUT - my big news is that I bought a pair of trousers from Next yesterday. In a size 14 - I haven't been a 14 for years so am delighted

sowhatis · 15/10/2009 11:24

Well Done mamaG!!!!! That is fab news!

(sowhatis..... also thinks back to 17 and size 14 was HUGEEEEEEEE!!!!!!) LMAO!!!

Hopefully a few weeks and ill be back in a 14!!!!!

xx

GrimRIAper · 15/10/2009 12:23

well done mamaG

not started well today. needed paracetamol and DH got DS1 to bring me them in bed with white buttery toast

need to get started though and then these aches and pains might go away.

sowhatis · 15/10/2009 15:52

good luck grimriaper. hope you feel better soon xx

ConnieComplaint · 15/10/2009 18:25

Aw heck Ria, hope you feel better soon.

Last night's weigh in has had a really bad effect on my self esteen & my motivation.

Today I have felt like eating every item of food within my grasp. Last night I had home made chips, honey & chilli sausages, followed by a jammie joey (bun with jam & coconut) and about 5 vodka & blackcurrant....on a positive note the blackcurrant was sugarfree!!!

OOh shit, visitors...brb

sowhatis · 15/10/2009 19:05

lol connie!

why did it have a bad effect? hope your ok

xx

nappyaddict · 15/10/2009 20:17

Just found this WW Recipe. Does anyone know how many syns it would work out as for SW?

ConnieComplaint · 15/10/2009 21:01

'Cos I only had to lose 0.5lb to get my 2 stone award but I couldn't even do that!!

Am just back from a spin class - am wrecked! but in a good way

Anyone any idea of what I can eat?????? I have a HEB left & am on a green day.

Might just have weetabix or porridge though, can't be fannied cooking now.

NA: the yoghurt & berries would be free. 50g of white chocolate is approx 14 syns. (theory being that a Cadbury dream bar is 12.5 syns for a 40g bar & I think that's white chocolate...)

nappyaddict · 15/10/2009 21:23

So 3.5 syns per serving.

Montifer · 16/10/2009 17:55

I'm on day 4 of my 1 stone by christmas SW mission and couldn't resist a weigh in (I know I shouldn't) and was delighted to see that 2lbs have been shed already.
I'd forgotten how full you can feel on green days and also how useful it is to have a good stock of Muller Lights in the fridge

1st red day and fillet steak for dinner

Connie - I was thinking about going for a spin class at the gym, I usually swim, will I survive?

sowhatis · 16/10/2009 18:39

i used to do spin classes many moons ago and loved them! v hard going xx

StrawberriesandCherries · 16/10/2009 22:02

Have scanned the last few posts but cant see this weeks password and have forgotten it from wednesday! Anyone know it please?

Montifer · 16/10/2009 23:21

it was skate, when does it change?

GrimRIAper · 17/10/2009 08:55

OK, big fat kick up the arse day for Ria.

was thinking last night (as you do) that I would skive off the weekend, but weighed-in this morning and I am and ay myself.

So, enough is enough. Am having an EE day today, and EE or red tomorrow to fit in with the wartime theme for the boys.

good luck

GrimRIAper · 17/10/2009 09:02

"skate" still working btw.

StrawberriesandCherries · 17/10/2009 13:41

Thanks for the password, hope all have a good weekend

kid · 17/10/2009 17:09

1 muller light yoghurt.

What should I get?
