Sure You can post it... I might make mini ones least then if they're nasty I won't feel bad bout chucking them... I just don't really like mashed potato at all

Sneaky scale hopped again today! I'm so naughty, they need to be hidden... Looks like I'm good for a STS, as I've said before my scales aren't the most accurate, so I might have a small gain/loss... But I'm not thinking like that x x

I know..i scale hopped this morning hoping to see small loss which means I prob would've stayed the same, but my scales say a lb on so not happy as that may be more like 2lb tonight. Silly girl i am...shouldn't have overeaten this week, i'm going to spoil my clean record now

I haven't tried this and don't fancy it but seeing as you mentioned it I thought you'd like to see it...I think I attached picture too, but not sure if it worked xx

♥ Mash Pizza ♥

SYN FREE ON GREEN & EXTRA EASY

Ingredients:
1 Packet of Mr Mash or Asda Smart Price instant mashed potato
Frylight
Half a carton of passata
Dash of lea & perrins
Dried Basil
Half a medium red onion
Toppings of your choice
42g of low fat cheese or 57g of low fat mozzarella (Use as Healthy extra A or 6 syns)

Method:
Make up the mash with boiling water according to packet instructions. I used the Asda one and mixed it with 400ml of water. Needs to be very doughy consistency, should be able to squash into a ball the size of a tennis ball.

Spray the cake tin with frylight then press the mash down until its flat and fills the tin. Place in the oven on gas mark 5 on middle shelf and cook until just turning golden brown, then turn over and brown the other side.

Whilst the base is cooking, soften the onions in a saucepan with frylight. Then add the passata, lea & perrins & basil. Heat through.

Once base is golden on both sides take out of the oven then add the tomato sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice.
Place back in oven until cheese has melted.

Week 7, Day 1

Oh My GOD!! Worst night ever!! You may have noticed from my FB that I was awake from 10 past 2 this morning, caused by a weird throbbing swollen tongue, and a musical tummy, with a feeling that can I can't describe! I was either starving (not likely) or too full from too much food (most likely) but I actually couldn't tell!! I drank tonnes of water, which would mormally help both but did nothing I eventually dropped off about 5am and feel like poop now, I have a huge ulcer on the inside of my bottom lip, like I've never seen before, it looks almost green, no joke!! I can't help but blame it on the amount of pineapple I've been eating, I did get the tongue thing when I was in Gran Canaria one time after eating fresh pineapple for breakfast, but I thought it was because my little tongue piercing was new and couldn't cope with the acids... Am I weird? I'm seriously contemplating toddling off to Off Topic and posting it there, but I might come across as a wee bit looney... Also I'm perfectly prepared to accept it may just because I'm run down a bit, or TOTM does the weirdest things! I'll stew on it... Sorry for ranting!

B: Banana, Apple

S: 2 x Yellow Plums

L: Ham Sandwich(made with 2 x Wholemeal Breads (B) Flora Pro Activ Light (1) Tomato) Melon and Strawberries

Then I'm off out for an Indian (*sigh*) - My friend has just had her mortgage approved so we're going out to celebrate, I'm so pleased for her, but so jealous... With the state of current affairs, and the fact I can't save money to save my life (add to that I'm basically on minimum wage) I feel like I'll never be able to buy my own house, and will be stuck renting forever!! Pah!! Doesn't help that I keep emptying my account for this festival and that festival and this holiday and those pretty shoes... Whoops!!

D: Lamb Rogan Josh, om nom NOM!! I'm sure the syn value for this has to be wrong... (6.5ish, not weighed) Plain Boiled Rice (FREE )

S: Options - Turkish Delight (2) made with Milk (A)

Fluids: Gallons of Water Diet Coke

Syns: 9.5

Sorry for being a moaning minnie

Haha Tulip your posts make me laugh! Well not the one where you were saying you were ill, that sounds horrendous. I had a similar thing once when i'd eaten a lot of watermelon on holiday. Had an infection which had to be treated when i got home and i still get swelling in my glands when i'm rundown. Apparently in tourist countries like Turkey, they inject watermelons and swell them in the river (dirty water) to make them look juicier. Yukkkk. I stayed the same last ngt (can't remember if i said earlier). That was lucky! xx

 

[Michjoanne]

Oh, by the way guys, this was on Stacey Slimming World's facebook and I thought it was so inspiring so i'm sure she won't mind me copying it...this is what just 1lb of fat looks like!! So next time we're disheartened on half pound loss or one pound, just think of this wobby slime

Ah, you gotta laugh hun, just end up crying otherwise! I'm glad I make ya smile Dunno how you put up with my ramblings to be honest Tongue is fine today, I've shown my ulcer to everyone and they do reckon its just run down-ness, have a day off tomorrow, going to try some dresses on for the races with a friend and then I'm coming home to make lasagne for tea Looking forward to it!!

I've seen the lb of fat thing before, it's amazing really! At Christmas our leader had a box that weighed a stone and she told us all to pick it up, I struggled, it was an uncomfortable weight... To think at this stage in the game I've lost almost 3 of those boxes, it's mental! I honestly never thought I was that big... But my functions must be so much better off not carrying all that around with me... It really does boggle my mind!! x x

P.S I've had no Activia today and I don't half feel bloated! Probably all the rice and diet coke but still...

Week 7, Day 2

Off shopping today for a dress for the races And then I fancy doing some baking later... Gonna have a hunt for some SW friendly cupcake recipes (if such a thing exists!) At least then I can partake in the cake eating, if I cant, I'll just make a little few and avoid them Then laters I'm gonna try and do an invitation mock up... Feeling creative today **UPDATE** Didn't get dress On the plus side, I'm now a 14 in Debenhams/Red Herring stuff... But couldn't fit in the 16 in Oasis or the Lila range at Dorothy Perkins, go figure x x

B: Apple and 2 x little fat free Activia (Cherry and Forest Fruit)

L: Jacket Potato with Chicken, Bacon, Cheese and BBQ Sauce... No idea in the world how to syn this, I asked for NO CHEESE but we had a 40min wait for our food in the first place so I wasn't prepared to send it back... And I'd originally asked for prawns but of course they had non of them

D: HM Lasagne (Lean Beef Mince (not Extra Lean - Whoops) Tinned Tomatos, Mushrooms, Onion, Red and Green Peppers, Tesco Light Choices Cottage Cheese with Onion and Chives, Herbs, Oxo Cubes, Soy Sauce, Lasagne sheets, 42g RF Cheese (A)) will serve with Salad

S: Cadbury Caramel Cake Bar (7)

Fluids: Water, NAS Squash

Syns: 26.5/70, have allowed 10 (excluding cake) for today to be on the safe side, with the mince not being Extra Lean and then the lunch fiasco

Oh please put picture up of the dresses, particularly the one you love so much. Plus pictures of your lakeland stuff!! I ordered 5 dresses, thinking at least one would be suitable for my race day in May but sent every single one back It's not that they didn't fit (they were all huge actually as I ordered 18s when I was bigger) but I didn't like any of the styles. I've seen one I really really like on ASOS but it's 65 so i'm hoping it comes down in price as can't really afford that xx

Oooo can't wait to see a pick on the dress!!

Ha glad your mum likes the pizza, I haven't tried it yet. I'm thinking of making steak and mushroom pie from the website, apparently serves 4 and each serving is only 3 syns on EE! Result!! I'll let you know what it's like. Got on scales this morning and am 4lb down from Weds when I STS so need to keep it up!!

Ah love it. One of the dresses I sent back was similar to this style but the material was much looser and flowing. I would love this type of dress but too fat for that yet i'm afraid. It's fitted so my big belly would look horrendous :sigh:
