The really slow loss team!

[Flabulous]

Morning all. My secret ingredient to a home made curry is at the end to add 2T of Elmlea cream to each portion Only 2 syns and well worth it in my opinion.

Latte - for some reason I woke up thinking about you. I hope things are getting a little easier. Probably a stupid thing to say so sorry if it is.

Pom - took a look at your gallery of piccies a while ago. Your girls definitely make me smile a lot. Also the snaps of you and hubbie are heart warming.

Lou - hope you are getting settled and ready to join the clan.

Everyone else - love to you all.

Me - I am being taken out again for a birthday meal tonight by my loved one.

I have not been strictly on plan this week but maintaining quite nicely.

A lady I work for baked me some choc/peanut butter cookies with a custard cream base. You can just imagine!!!
To die for. Very very sickly and gorgeous.
So I had to partake didn't I? Being my birthday.

I could tell though, fairly quickly the effect on my body which was screaming..........."maybe nice, but now I feel bleeeurgh"...so SW does alter your reaction to food.

I will get tonight out of the way (and enjoy very much) but I am straining to get back properly on the wagon.

Have a good weekend girls.

she doesnt use butter she said she uses oil, which i know is just as bad haha. i only had a little taste. tbh i think she is fairly healthy as she is a diabetic specialist and has health problems herself. shes super thin so they cant be that bad for you haha!! ill ask her for the recipe though and put it on here when i get it

just waiting for my shopping to arrive, was fairly good on plan yesterday and going to be really good today, going to have a success express day, i can tell that ive been bad on plan cos my stomach is really swollen and i havent 'been' properly for a while. going to do my diary again to try keep me on track...feel free to check it out and give me help

They were amazing, more shaped like millionaires shortbread than a cookie, but they weren't a cake either. My waist line is paying tribute to them!

A little gain is always worth it if you've enjoyed something naughty

Do you reckon some fromage frais would work? I use this as a substitute for cream in all my "nice sauce" recipes and it works a treat!

Thank you chica - he's not a bad old fart is he?

Enjoy your birthday but get back on this 'ere wagon tomorrow - or else I'll be round to :whoopass:

I use fromage frais when ever I make a curry, it's makes th sauce lovely & creamy & syn free.

I have always been scared to use it as find it so bitter. Once I made a pasta dish with it and thought it awful. I am going to have another go though.

I've always found I can VERY slightly taste the cheese in it, which I like. I think it can be bitter but I find once it's mixed in with the spices it evens out nicely

Thanks Lisa - I'll have a go with this then.

Flabulous - How about Quark instead? After all that's just low fat cheese too and nowhere near as bitter.

Yep I think quark might be a good one to try without the bitter taste!

I wish you all the best with ww, a change might be what you need. I would be interested to know if it makes a difference.

After a GHASTLY and largely unwarranted gain this week I am also ringing the changes for a few weeks. I have been doing SW for 9 months now and have lost a measly half a stone so it clearly doesn't suit me either!

Even the doc says something must be wrong - after 40+ weeks, even at a pound a week, I should have lost more than 2.5 stones by now! I wouldn't mind so much if I was being naughty most weekends, but I am largely on plan 100% with only an occassional slip - and plenty are losing regularly even with much larger slips than me, so clearly it is my body and the plan.

Like you, I will still be around though. Good luck to us all, whatever plan we chose to follow

Good luck chica. There's an awful lot of people defected to the dark side in the last few weeks.

There's an offer on their website I think that you can join for free. Or if you go with a member then it is totally free - no class fee either I think.
