Have had a SW cooking day. :rofl
Made a Quorn Curry - adapted from a chicken recipe, SW quiche which will be great for lunches at work and a curly wurly cake which serves 4 and is only 12 syns for the whole cake, just the job for when I want something sweet after my evening meal.
Let me know if you are interested in any of the recipes and I will post them.

Here it is
Curly Wurly Cake

4 Scan Bran (Buy at class or at Holland and Barrett)
2 eggs
3 or 4 tbsp sweetener (to taste)
1 sachet Belgian Choc Options (I used the plain chocolate hi-lights as I am not keen on options)
26g Curly Wurly bar

method

1. Soak the Scan Bran in boiling water to soften. Then drain and mash with a fork.

2. Beat the eggs and stir into mix, along with the sweetener and Belgian Choc Options/hi-lights

3. Chop the Curly Wurly into pieces and add to the mix (I found it easier to cut with scissors)

4. Pour the mixture into a microwavable bowl and cook for around 6 minutes. When cooked the cake will be springy to the touch and will have pulled away from the side.

Tip: Chef's tip: For those who don't have a microwave, you can cook the cake on 200°C/Gas Mark 6 for approximately 30 minutes.

It's just 12 Syns for the whole cake and can be divided into as many slices as you like.

I serve with raspberries and 0% yoghurt or a couple of tablespoons of spray cream..............

Enjoy..............................

Well done Ann :tup
Hoping for a loss this week as I have had 2 busy days at home decluttering, moving stuff around and the usual housework (body magic).
Have planned all my menus for this week which include Briami (Greek Stew), Quorn Sausage Casserole, Morroccan Butter Beans and good old Egg, SW Chips and Peas for after class on Tuesday. Also got all lunches made to take to work and will include vergetable soup, mushroom soup and SW quiche. :D
Have a good week everyone - remember 5 weeks today and Santa will have been to visit us all. :rofl

1.5 lbs off this week. Could have done better if I'd stopped drinking the wine (not stuck rigidly to the SW extra easy plan), Been walking about 4 days a week for an hour so I'm sure that's helped. Going to try and get on track for next week and hope for a 2 lb loss. Gx

I need to get back into a routine, after coming back from holidays...July 2011 havent been to the gym on a regular basis, or have been watching what I eat

At the moment, my weight is around 95kg, and my last time I weighed my self June 2011, weighed in at 88kg, so I have put on a few pounds

First thing, going to need to get my gym membership, started up again, and set my self a target, for June 2012, and for June 2012 I want to lose at least 3 stones, and get my self under 12-13 stones

This year alos, insted of just doing cardio exercise, looking to tone up, and improve my general well being

Not going to do alot of exercise until after the new year, but will head to the gym for a few times during the week, once I start going to the gym, I can properly add my weight here

Just back from weigh in at SW; maintained :( . Not surprised really because had a couple of lovely meals out (with wine, of course) and a day in London. Will get back on track tomorrow :D .

I've had a weekend away and it's all gone to pot. Just back today and eating whatever is in the cupboards. need to be more organised and plan some meals properly. Ah well, tomorrow is another day.

Same here Maureen; not very organised with meal planning. Did really well first 2 weeks. Only 4 weeks to Christmas and I really need to lose a stone :( . Gx

Last New Years Day I weighed in at 13st 1 lb. Today I am 12st 2lb but there is still Christmas to come. I would like to be less than 12st at this New Year just to start the 2012 at less than last year.

Come on ladies - focus and we could lose half a stone before Christmas.
Planning ahead is the key I think.
I have just made a pan full of a SW Tomato, Lentil and Vegetable soup that was featured in our local paper - have to say it is lovely so lunches sorted out for the next couple of days. :D
Weighing in tomorrow night.

Just back from WI and I put on 0.5lb. :cry

Never mind Irene, I'm sure you will lose that and more by next week as you are a lot more organised than I am. I have another weekend away but it is at my son and daughter in laws house so I may be more in control of what I eat.
