Do you know one of the things I'm looking forward to when I lose all this weight is to be able to balance properly in heels again!

I don't normally wear heels (wouldn't wear shoes at all if I could get away with it) but I need killer heels for the long one as Im a short ar*eOhh those are lovely! I hope you've got some killer heels lined up for the shorter one!
... I like the long dress that much I may well wear it for both mess do's . Plus I have calf muscles like a Russian shot putter so unless the shorter dress falls a bit longer on me Im not gonna be happy wearing it I have been making myself a necklace tonight
-Lesley -I will be looking for sturdy heels as according to Gok -skinny heels make larger ladies look heavier
-plus I would no doubt snap skinny ones. I have sworn though that when I get to target I will buy the highest pair of high heels and walk through Nottinginham in them -In honour of my sis who we lost to Cancer a couple of years back -she always teeter tottered out in killer heels -that she inevitably ended up carrying half way through the night

Hi Capricorn!!!! Congrats on another 2 lbs off!!!! You're doing SO brilliantly!!!
Well, it's my birthday today so the "diet" is out the window! The family are coming for roast dinner later (DD is cooking) and last night I went out for a yummy curry! Having said all that, my taties will be roasted the SW way cos I can't bear the thought of them cooked in oil anymore, the chicken skin will be pulled off and thrown away and I will have a mountain of veg! However, I did push the boat out at breakfast time and had 2 slices of thick wholemeal and as much low-fat Lurpak as I fancied, topped with Marmite!!!!! I know how to live!!!
It's very cold here too but no snow - yet!!! I hope it stays away too cos I don't want a repeat of last Winter when I fell over on the ice and broke my arm!
Anyway, keep up th good work and I'mlooking forward to seeingsome pics of you all glammed-up for the Mess do!
Bye for now, take care,
Lots of love,
Trace xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thankyou..
I have to confess though that I have never had chicken pizzaiola before -I just saw the recipe and thought "oohhh they mention that on Everyone loves Raymond" (one of my fave things on the box) -how sad am I

Try and try again
Well done on the loss. It's really chilly with us and all of Friday's snow is yet to thaw out so has gone icy and slippery grr. Means I take 3 times longer to walk anywhere as I take it slow slow slow to stop myself falling on my bum!
Have fun on the sales Mrs - I bet some of those size 16s might surprise you...
Meals next week sound yum... am intrigued about your cheese & bacon lasagne - sounds nice

Hi Sarah
Looks like the snow is setting in here now too -although the gritter has been round and we live on a side street -thats one thing about Germany -they know how to keep the place running no matter how bad it gets
and in the shopping areas they come out and little mini diggers that blow heat to de-ice the pavements. I don't plan on walking anywhere -I can bet I would spend more time on my backside too I have ordered some stuff in the sales in 16s -mainly tops as I can't wait to hit the shops out here for jeans/trousers as they have some really funky stuff -so hopefully by spring/summer I will fit 16s properly :cross:
I will let you know how the lasagne goes -I have some packs of bacon in the freezer so i thought it was a good way to use some up -hope its nice
Hope you are having a good week....

Meat balls with creamy garlic mushroom sauce
serves 4
4 syns per serving on red/EE
- 400g minced steak
- 1tsp soy sauce
- 1tbs capers - finely chopped
- 1tbs chopped pickled gherkin
- 2tbs fat free natural yoghurt
- squish everything together and chill
- I broke mine into 24x20g chunks and rolled into balls
- place back in fridge until needed
- then heat a large non-stick frying pan and drop the meatballs in and colour all over
- pop in the oven and bake through -meanwhile make the sauce:-
- 1/2 tsp oil (1)
- 1 large onion -finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic -grated
- 300g mushrooms -now I use frozen ones, defrosted and squeezed out well
- 142ml pot single cream (14.5)
- seasoning
- heat the oil in a small non-stick frying pan
- drop in the onion and cook until tender
- add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until slightly coloured
- season well and stir in the cream
- keep over a gently heat and cook (don't have the heat too high as it may split/curdle)
- once the meatballs are cooked -drop them into the sauce(along with any juices if you like) and keep over a low heat whilst you cook the pasta -then throw in the cooked pasta and toss to coat
. I only charged myself 3 syns as I gave most of the sauce to hubby .I will be snaffling anymore single cream I see "whoopsed" and freezing as I only have 1 pot in there now

Good morning from a very :winter_brr: me .... we are ay -14 right now :bundledup:....
I defrosted the bird bath this morning -we have a big upturned dustbin lid, and I have just been out again and it had set solid :argh: ....I had to turn it over and pour hot water on the bottom to turn it out . Anyhow its now full of lovely warm water and the birds are having their very own jacuzzi.
Anyway -apart from the cold Im tickity boo
Im having another green day today -
I have been sneaky with my plan today -I could have gone EE and not use so many syns up on dinner BUT by paying for the chicken and chorizo on a green day means I get 2A+Bs :giggle:-so it works out better.
Im really looking forward to dinner as I love that rice dish. ooohh the cheesy bacon lasagne was a hit :bliss:so I will post the recipe later...I even remembered to make note of what I used *very unlike me*
Right Im off for my lunch -have a great day everyone and keep warm!!

Hi Capricorn!!
Just wanted to drop in and say hello
Day three back on slimming world and going well so far. Thank you for your lovely supportive words the other day, really helped me feel better.
Anyway popped in for two reasons... One I ordered a few things from yourclothing, the same long dress as you, a military tunic and a jumper in the sale £7!
The dress looks ok i think! Not sure if I will be brave enough to wear it, I never wear dresses, and I need to get a cardy or something to wear with it. Its nice and long though which is good, at 5'9 its hard to get things long enough sometimes! So thank you for that tip of about that website, its a gem, have told my sister about it too
Also how was your lasagne? I have some roast chicken, bacon and spinach in the fridge I need using up and might make a lasagne tomorrow. How did you make your white sauce? I have a tub of crème freche in the fridge could I use that do you think?
Hope your ok and staying warm.. it took us 1.5 hours to get the car off the drive this morning- Also we didn't have a shovel or anything so had to use a baking tray! lol
