Well done on another day 100% 
I've never tried the smash pizza, but really should do as I do LOVE pizza!

It's stunning - just read through the thread and take all the tips about making the base really thin, cooking it both sides before topping etc. Ok the base doesn't taste exactly like a pizza base, but the combo of that with the tomato, cheese and toppings really hits the spot.
Hmm... got a feeling I'm going to be eating Smash pizza a bit more often now

Happy Monday everyone!! :wave_cry:
I had a fab weekend in the end... although not very saintly on the food front...
Friday after work we decided to treat ourselves to a new duck feather duvet and pillows pre-xmas from John Lewis... mmm... they're so nice and cosy too! BUT we ended up going to Wagamamas for tea as well! I had a prawn dish with sticky rice and maybe some coconut sauce oh and some Low fat frozen choc yoghurt for dessert. Naughty I know but it was low fat!
Then Saturday we were out for my friends birthday, ended up having dressed crab then monkfish - was v. tasty!! And was good and drunk wine with the meal then diet coke in the club along with some dancing.
Sunday lunch was fab as well, shared some olives to start, then had a not so saintly starter - chorizo and egg florentine on a little piece of focaccia. Then I had pollack served with mussels and cockles on a bed of rice.
And after my naughty week last week I somehow managed to scrape a completely undeserved 1lb loss!!! So I'm really pleased about that and will be trying really hard again this week - hoping to get into the 13's in the next couple of weeks!!

:wave_cry: Hi everyone ((comes creeping in with tail between the legs)) :break_diet:
Well needless to say last week was a very bad week...
I had my meals out over the weekend and decided to just let the bad week continue!! In my defence I have been totally full up with a cold since Tuesday so didn't have the energy to face cooking at all.
So I struggled through work all week, locked myself inside all day Saturday keeping as warm as poss and slowly started to get back on track Sunday... (I'm a really bad patient - don't cope very well with being ill!!)
Luckily throughout all of this I managed to only put on half a pound even though my week included pizza, cake, pastry and chocolate. Not in large quantities as I was feeling yucky so that's probably why I got away with it.
Didn't have a 100% day yesterday (some crisps and a few choccies snuck into my mouth!!) but I did have a bit of a cooking fest!!
Made Britmum's carrot and orange cake (yum although did turn out a bit like burnt-souffle and does still have that eggy texture which SW cakes have...), made the syn free onion chutney which is stunning and I will now be having on everything!! Plus a huge vat of leek, potato and watercress soup!
So roll on 100% for the rest of the week!

Hey. Congrats on getting back on the wagon Your bad week sounds tasty, if not rather naughty And that 1/2 lb will fall off in no time!
I must must must remember to do some batch cooking! But it's sooo cold, I would rather watch tv with a lemsip!
Onwards with your 100% week

That was my main problem last week - I just couldn't face standing in the kitchen cooking as I was feeling so rough. Hopefully that pesky half lb will come off in no time - I'm aiming for a 2lb loss on Saturday, but not sure if I'm being a bit over-zealous!!
Batch cooking is good - I love my slow cooker - it's a 6.5ltr one so makes 6-8 portions so perfect for mega batch cooking!!
Just a pain when the freezer is so full you can't fit anything else in lol
