Well done Erm, wow! Congratulations! Though I can't say that I'm surprised with all the super-healthy food you've been eating! I made your puy lentil salad for lunch and it was AMAZING!! I put pics in my food diary. I also bought some red & green jalapenos and chipotle paste, I'll be trying your hummus and black bean soup sometime this week!! Well done again on your fabulous loss!

Wednesday 20th - Green
Breakfast: Coffee & toast (1 HEXA & 1 HEXB, 2 syns)
Lunch: Frazzled SW tomatoes So moved onto: Quorn - Sweet and Sour Crispy Bites (11 syns for the pack, didn't eat the dip so prob a few less but dont know how many so Ill count it anyway. Mixed green salad, Quorn slices.
Tea: Quorn curry with rice - 1 syn for oil, 2 syns for pickle. (Was supposed to be having something lush but ran out of time and b/f got man flu so good ol' curry it was. )
Snacks: apple, satsumas.
Bit of a rubbish day really, burnt me lunch, didnt get what I was meant to have for tea. Totally misjudged Quorn syns, but as I didn't eat the sauce I probably still within my 15 syns.

Ahhh don't worry about the quorn bites. They sound quite reasonable for a full pack and it was your lunch. Were they nice? Oh that curry again - yumm. How do you get it to look so rich??

No, they werent really that nice either, heh! They werent *going* to be my lunch, I just thought Id snack on them then when I found the syns were only for half a pack I thought sod it and just had salad and free Quorn slices to turn it into a lunch
The curry, it's all the spices I think, makes it nice and thick

How do you put the photos in your post? Oh yummy, i love sweet potato is it free on green and ee?

Yup, sweet potatoes all free on Green/EE
The photos I keep on flickr as Ive been keeping a photo diary on there from the start, so when I want to put one on here I just use my flickr link and paste it in the 'photo' clicky (8 icons along from the right above the box you type your replies in, looks like a landscape picture). I know theyre probably a bit big for some people but Im not resizing them and all that shenanigans just to copy them over.

Grooooo I didnt like it personally. Well it was OK after I added a bit of spice to it, bit it wasn't great and I wouldn't make it again, very watery and not a lot of taste :jelous: Im in the minority though I think A couple of other people have said they made it & liked it I admit my tastes are not the same as the average person

Friday 22nd - Green
Breakfast: Coffee & toast (1 HEXA & 1 HEXB, 2 syns)
Lunch:Broad hummus & mixed veg (1.5 syns for tahini paste)
Tea: Red rice & chicken salad with pomegranate and feta; with broccoli and green salad (1 HEXA & 1HEXB for chicken & Feta, 1.5 syns for oil & pinch of sugar, 1.5 syns for almond flakes.
Snacks: apple, satsumas and, er, 5 double vodkas. 20 syns. :cry:
Doesn't look very exciting but the broad bean hummus was deelish!! Lovely! I left the skins on though because they're the best bit and tbh it didn't really go with the veggies, although that's what the recipe recommended. I think it would go fantastically as a spread on some Ryvita or decent crispbread, maybe with a touch of goat's cheese and even a bit of walnut ommm Im drooling at the possibiliites. :drool: Deffo make this one again
Ta-da!!!! Success! I finally manage to make something that resembles the picture in the recipe!
