Slimming World Journey!

So i started slimming world a few weeks ago now ( 9 weeks ) and in total so far i've lost 13lbs!!

That was with a weeks holiday in there too so that's pretty good going for me!

I am aiming for that stone award this week though! It will be mine.

I have read and heard so many inspiring stories about peoples journey's and to do it and actually get results and feel good about your self is amazing. The guy that runs our group though is probably one of the reasons we keep going back and how we stay so focused. He really is amazing and when ever people ask me about slimming world now i cannot help but tell them all about how good he is and how he make every week enjoyable and you feel like your doing the right thing and if you have a bad week he knows how and what to say to get you back on track and lift you back up again. Honestly don't think i would have stayed if it wasn't for him. So if you read this Thank You!

Any way i saw on the groups facebook page a while ago about these Nutella and oat biscuits and thought ooh they look so good.

So today the girl's and i made these Nutella (i realise its not branded nutella) and Oat biscuits they are Slimming world friendly and super easy ( i cannot cook or bake to save my life)


Recipe:
1tbsp Nutella (4syns)
35g Oats ( Healthy B choice)
1 egg
2tbsp sweetner
1tsp vanilla extract

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Spray a baking tray with fry light.
Spoon the mixture on to the tray. It doesn't look a lot but does make 10 good size biscuits.
Cook for 10 mins on Gas mark 6 turning after 7/8 mins ( i forgot to turn them )

They were really nice considering when  i normally bake or cook everything tastes burnt. Or as Alexa says "The black bits add flavouring don't they mummy"

So as i sit down to do my weekly meal plan i am struggling on meal ideas for this week, I maintained this week and i am so close to that stone award i can smell it. So i really need to focus this week and stick to plan but i am struggling.

So any hints or tips for this week so i can get that 1lb and geet my stone award would be hugely appreciated!
