After my loss of appetite for the last four weeks it seems this week it has returned with a vengeance. I have eaten so much rubbish – a couple of takeaways, quick meals for convenience as we’ve been rather busy with preparing to move, and then I’ve been snacking on more chocolate and biscuits than I usually would too. I did try to rein it back a bit in the couple of days before weigh in but I think I already knew I would be a lost cause at this one so I was gearing up for a gain. I …

Slimming World weigh in #28 – the one with the missing weeks…
You may have noticed I have been MIA for the last few weeks. I’ve had a lot going on and had a little blogging break but I have still been going to weigh in – with the exception of one week. Anyway, I’ve been so up & down with being on plan, pretty much like a yo-yo! I lost my appetite for a while and was barely eating anything but then it started coming back and I was back in the game for a few days but then I went off track again for various reasons and was either eating …
Meaty conchiglie pasta bake | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Pasta is a firm favourite in our household and we tend to eat it at least once a week – even better that it’s ‘free’ on Slimming World so I can eat as much as I like! (The dried version anyway). A couple of months ago I received some vouchers from Tesco to purchase some of their ‘finest’ pasta and I bought some large conchiglie pasta shells. I was going to stuff and then bake them but in the end I just went for this fuss free pasta bake. Totally delicious and very low syn on Slimming World!* Ingredients (serves …
Slimming World weigh in #24 – the one where…
After my weigh in last week where I was actually quite shocked at my small gain I was right back on plan and was determined to get my holiday weight off and grab that 2 stone award I have been chasing for the last few weeks. We didn’t have any plans other than a barbecue at my mum’s at the weekend where I knew I would stuff my face (!) so I tried to keep my syns down for the rest of the week for some damage limitation. Indeed I did my stuff my face and I have absolutely no idea …
Chocolate orange cake squares | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Now don’t get me wrong, even though I’m following Slimming World I do still eat ‘proper’ cake. Sometimes I will begrudgingly syn it but other times I will just completely ignore it and hope for the best! This is one of my new favourite Slimming World recipes though, it tastes a lot like a chocolate orange and is definitely worth the 2.5 syns a piece. This recipe uses chocolate Philadelphia but you can also use chocolate spread (50g will make them 2 syns each), it’s just as tasty. I made it for our latest group taster session and it went down really well! …
