Sorry for big pics don't know how to resize in Photobucket

Pasta Stroppy Fellow (Zizzi's Strozapretti Pesto Rosso)

I used tagliatelle and didn't drain all the water away from it to make the sauce go a lot further

 

[donnajt]

Tuna & Egg Salad

I also added 8 olives into this when I packaged it up for lunch - it is a really nice lunch or dinner it makes loads

 

[donnajt]

Mash Pizza (thanks Hazel!)

I had problems with the mash base sticking to the pan and don't think I cooked it quite long enough before I added toppings, I loved it, Paul hated it

This is a hawaiian pizza with lots of cherry toms and served with a mixed lettuce salad with plum toms, pickle onions, beetroot, red cabbage and red onion

last pic

Fruit Roulade (1/2 syn for entire cake!)

find julie19's recipe here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/145374-1-2-syn-fruit-roulade.html

Delicious - used vanilla essence for sponge and orange essence for the "quark cream"

Hi teresa3uk - I highly recommend the Pesto Rosso it is easily my favourite dinner. Its difficult because I want Paul to lose lots of weight so he sticks to it but it drives me mad that he cheats and loses so much more, oh well, sods law I guess!

Weigh in tomorrow, I weighed myself this morning and it looks like I have stayed the same - so I have eaten lots of superfree speed foods and zero carbohydrates today in an attempt to get 1/2 lb loss

If I gain or STS and Paul loses I am going to kick him somewhere very hard!!!

 

[donnajt]

Final thoughts on this week:

1. Now wearing size 18 bottoms and size 18/16 tops - dropped 3 sizes (although I probably wore clothes a size too big thinking I could hide behind the extra material, safety blanket if you like!)

2. My 38D bra almost fits me - need to lose about another inch of my bust (I hate being big chested, breast feeding does nothing for your boobs ladies!)

3. Feel a lot happier and fitter,

4. I no longer puff and pant when I am walking fast

4. I have noticed there is a lot more room in the bath, sadly Noah (my baby) keeps jumping in!

I now use baking paper sprayed with fry light and cook it till it taps on the top when you tap it with your finger. Get it really thin too. Goes a bit brown at edges but hey you can cut those bits off. Tonight I lost 2 1/2!! yay! I replied to your message on my post. Thanks hun. You have been a huge encouragement to me. Now off to find recipes for those lovely meals. I hope you have put them on... xx
