—————————————————————————————— ❤️❤️ IVE DARED TO DO A FACE TO FACE FRIDAY ❤️❤️ —————————————————————————————— Hi folks 🙂 it’s taken me a lot to do this post, but I get so many folk asking to see my before pic, so I thought I’d grow a pair and take the plunge! I don’t normally do transformation pics, as I hate looking at the before ones! I’ve been doing @slimmingworld for a couple of years now, loosing 4 stone during lockdown but then slowly putting it all back on since the restrictions lifted and life got back to a new normal. I had a health scarewhen I was on holiday and found out I had an auto immune disease that lead to heart failure. I’ve never been higher than 18 stone (god that’s embarrassing to admit - in my mind I could hide it under clothes). However by July I was up to 19 stone and I think my body just couldn’t take it no more. You know when people say something just clicks and you are ready to change, well it was the heart scare for me - I SHIT MYSELF 😳. So I decided to get a new @slimmingworld book in October, draw a line and have a fresh start. Fast forward 14 months and I’ve gone from a size 22/24 to a 12/14, lost 7+ stone and I’ve not missed out on holidays / socialising / eating good food. I just wanted to let you guys know, with the right mindset, consultant, group and online support network behind you anything is possible 💪❤️🙂 I’m now 10 pounds away from my target and getting the 8 stone award STAY POSITIVE MUCH LOVE XXX #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #instafood #swuk #sw #healthyeating #weightloss #synfree #jdseasonings #slimmingworldinstagram #swideas #slimmingworldfood #swmum ##swmealideas #healthylifestyle #slimmingworldrecipe #sundaydinner #slimmingworldlifestyle #pieandchips #slimmingworldgroup #lowsyn #slimmingworldsnacks #slimmingworlddiary #slimmingworldmeals #steakpie #pies #jdseasonings #swfood #swfoodblogger #swrecipe

—————————————————————————————— ❤️❤️ IVE DARED TO DO A FACE TO FACE FRIDAY ❤️❤️ —————————————————————————————— Morning folks 🙂 it’s taken me a lot to do this post, but I get so many requests to see them, so I thought I’d grow a pair and take the plunge! I don’t normally do transformation pics, as I hate looking at the before ones and I’m not at target yet. I had a wake up call last night though, when I took a photo to send to a friend showing her what I was thinking of wearing today. Also for the first time in over 20 years I’ve bought a size 12 fitted jacket the other day and these are comfy size 14 jeans.

——————————————————————————————— 🇨🇳🍛 CHEATS LOW SYN SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN🍛🇨🇳 ——————————————————————————————— I always keep a jar of Uncle Ben’s sugar free sweet & sour in the cupboard for when I need a quick meal. Now before I start a word of warning, don’t be a dick like Donna and tag Uncle Ben’s if you cook this up yourself - it’s a VERY dodgy porn site!!! (I gave lots of folk the scare of their life last time 🤦‍♀️😂). Anyhoo the full jar is only 6 syns so between 4 it’s 1.5 syns each. A trick to making the sauce go further is after you’ve emptied the jar, fill it with a 1/3 water, 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp tomato purée, give it a shake then add in. It’s very simple to make you just fry off two / three chopped up chicken boobs for 8 mins. Add some baby corn, yellow / red peppers, mange tout and fry off for a further 5 mins. Finally add the sauce and let it simmer for 5 mins. I served mine with rice and duck rolls (2 syns each) from @icelandfoods Next time you are in the supermarket grab a jar you need this it’s lush and a perfect quick meal idea - I get mine from @sainsburys 👌👌👌 📍SAVE this post for a meal plan idea 📍 #familydinner #easyrecipe #familydinnerides #quickdinner #recipevideo #comfortfood #onepot #easyrecipes #easyrecipesathome #swmums #swmealplan #slimmingworldmeals #swfamily #swuk #swukfood #slimmingworldjourney #jdseasoningsgiveaway #giveaway #slimmingworldfood #swfoodblogger #swmummy #slimmingworldfamilyuk #swmealplan #swmafiauk #swmafiauk #sweetandsour #fakeawayfriday #fakeaway #chickendinner #easyrecipes #easymeals #chickenrecipes #chinesefood
