Hey lovely ladies I'm am going to the harvester for dinner tonight so was wandering if you could all suggest what's best to eat I've only a few syns left for the day although only used 3 yesterday so could in theory have a few more but want to keep it low, and I am on a red day no hxb left

Ooh I'm not too sure, I've not been to Harvester before! I would usually suggest a grilled steak with a baked potato / boiled potoes and salad or vegetables (without butter / oil), but as you're on a Red day that makes it slightly harder as you can't have potato. What about grilled steak and salad? Or you could have a chicken breast / gammon if you don't fancy steak. I've just looked at their menu and the salad bar is unlimited, so you can fill up on loads of yummy SuperFree. Other than that I'm pretty stumped for ideas, there doesn't appear to be much else that would be Red day friendly. I usually try and do EE when eating out as it gives you a bit more freedom and choice. Hope this helps a little bit x

I went the other day and as Stevie said you're a bit limited if you're on a RED day. I would go for a steak or the Flame grilled chicken breast as these are free (count a couple of syns for oil if you want). The Chicken comes with peas (supposedly buttered but mine deffo weren't the other day) and then you chose a side but I'm sure you could just say no to a side (as all are potato related or bread) or give them to whoever youre going with. Then just keep going and getting all the salad you want! Obvs watch out for the potato salad and coleslaw which is 2.5 syns per spoon.
Also you get to choose a sauce with your meat and the calories are on the menu so you can work out using 20 cals per syn. I got the firecracker chilli which was only 2 syns, as is peri peri. Home this helps! x

Target? Bring it on!
I'd have the half spit-roast chicken (remove all skin so it's free) as it's the tastiest, I reckon, and have it with piles of salad and a low syn sauce (like piri piri suggested above 
)
Enjoy xx

Yippee to news on the bf, hope it all goes well, Lydia would love a bf so I know how your feeling, but Lydia has become so fussy I think she's happy in her own home with her pets & is being very choosey!!!!! On a different note she is on a free dating website & reads me some of the texts she gets sent, they are hilarious!!!

Hey hun. Dead easy!
I just roast a couple of red peppers in the oven with a little garlic and chilli. Chuck a can of chickpeas into a blender and blitz, along with the roasted peppers and some garlic granules. Add FF natural yogurt a little at a time to reach the desired texture. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for an extra zing! I do find that I have to get a spoon in the blender and keep giving it a really good mix between blitzing it, otherwise it ends up being partly very smooth and other bits with still whole chickpeas in.
It's really yum!! This makes me about 2 generous portions, maybe 3

I actually think it would be easier with a hand blender! I must invest in one of those

My God, I've definitely got the munchies this week!! Really struggling to stay within Syns as I'm just craving crisps and chocolate. Although I'm having the low Syn ones, I'm still having too many of them. I've used 72.5 Syns in the last 3 days alone :O Definitely going to have to try and reign it in a bit if I want my 3st award on Tues!

hand blending the chickpeas was...a challenge, and more than a few flew everywhere lol, but once i'd added the ff, it was easier
will def make it again (less runny next time lol) but there's loads!

I use mine every day even on cooked meat that I want to blitz for meat patties or rissoles. I would not be without it. I will be using it soon on the soup I am in the middle of making.
Stevie I am definitely going to make the red pepper hummus.I love all the ingredients but am going to make it with philly as I have so much in the fridge. Will let you know how it is.
Don't slip now my little cyber granddaughter. You are doing so well and have been so inspirational to an old crone like me.
When I get the munchies I try to stick to things like celery cut into2 inch long pieces and filled with low fat soft cheese or your lovely hummus would work too. A German friend of mine who has maintained her weight loss for years never goes anywhere without a Tupperware type box full of chunks of carrot, apple and celery and low fat hard cheese and she dipped it at work whenever she was "munchy". An added bonus is she has amazing skin too.
hugs xxxx
