This is why I suck at planning - changed my mind already!
So after a quick trip to tesco......am attempting to make BNS wedge type things, along with BBQ salmon fillet skewers coated with lime chilli & coriander glaze - hoping not too many syns in there!

Sadly when I weighed in this morning I seem to only have lost 0.5lb
Not sure why - I've been 100% all week, between 5-10syns, loads of fish, loads of superfree, cut down on pasta, drank loads of water and no alcohol, was never hungry, exercised . . . seem to have done everything right but v.little result!

I know it's disheartening..... BUT.... us girlies are really weird, carry on as you have, stick to it again 100%.... and next week you'll have a great loss, sometimes it just takes a bit of time to show - honest

I have had 2 day of my fishy week, and had WI today, and i pleased to say that i have lost 1lb, had a really bad couple of days at the beginning of the week, so i think that the last two days have pulled it round for me - going to continue for the next week, will let you all know the outcome...
Keep up the good work folks, and any more fishy ideas are more than welcome

Just think what you will get at your next weigh in if you're 3 down already!
My normal weigh in is Friday but I will have only done 4 full days of it so far so will re weigh on Monday to see what the effect of a full fishy week is! Had a cheeky weigh in this morning 2 off already!

Think Im going to struggle this week- I just never have fish! Its not I don't like it its more that I just don't know how to cook it! Think I may attempt an omelette with veg and chopped up cod fillet in and a fish pie for tea. I was wondering what the fish was like in tomato sauce- the tinned ones. I could have this for brekkie but if it smells too fishy it will put me right off!

I was scared of cooking fish before as well, but now I love it! A few tips:
- use 1 tbsp of chilli oil (2 syns) to oil some tin foil. Put tuna steaks in and rub the oil on them. Add some sliced garlic and bung in the oven at whatever temperature and for however long it says on the packet.
- when pan frying (I particular enjoy rainbow trout and it's not too expensive) heat up the fry-lighted pan and put the fish in skin side down. Splash some lemon juice on the flesh of the fish and salt and pepper it. Try not too turn more than once!
- salmon works well in pasta - cook 3 fillets for 4 pasta portions as above in pan, then flake up. While the pasta is cooking, fry up onions, garlic, chilli, peppers, leeks, broccoli, courgette, whatever you like. Add in extra light Philadelphia (for syns) or light Philadelphia (HExA) and a splash of lemon juice and mix until melted and coating the veg. Add back in the salmon and the drained pasta. Yum! Alternatively use Kerry low low cheese spread with red pesto or whatever sauce you fancy.
- fish pie: cook 1 onion and 1 garlic clove and 400g fish / prawns. Add 200g Philadelphia and mix until melted and coated. Meanwhile cook 500g sweet potato until soft and mash. Put the fish mix in the bottom of a dish, cover with the potato. Top with 28g grated Parmesan. Cook for 20 minutes at 200 degrees. My fave!
- buying fish: I find fish can be cheaper if you buy frozen. Asda do lovely pre-cooked prawns and tuna steaks frozen. Prawns can be chucked into stir frys or curries frozen and will cook through quickly. They also do a fish pie mix which is lovely (and pre-chopped!). They also do a bag of individually wrapped salmon fillets. This is nice salmon and it means you can defrost only as much as you need. Rainbow trout (not frozen) isn't very expensive but is super tasty yummy. Look out for deals on the fish counter and get the fishmonger to fillet whole fish for you.
Hope that helps you and some others! Just my thoughts. Xx

Thank You Kat that helped so much! Definitely going to do the salmon pasta as well as the fish pie! With the salmon could I use a tin?
Natterjack88 said:
You can definitely use tinned salmon, but I really don't like it! I bought some recently and it was full of bones and gristly bits and didn't taste as nice. I'd rather buy the frozen fillet bags (which are cheaper than fresh) and use less of it when I'm on a budget. Not sure why tinned tuna is so good but tinned salmon is crap?!
Glad I could help! My bf is obsessed with the fish pie and guests love it too

Cocked up in an irritating way - went to the chippy to get a prawn omelette - stupidly asked for a chicken one!
Only realised when I started eating it - doh!
Good job I had fish for breakfast so still 2 meals today!
