A Better Weigh

03/11/2025

Hi everyone 💙
Unfortunately I’m still not well enough to be with you all this week, so I’m taking a little more time to rest and recover. I’m gutted to miss you again, but I know you’ll be in the best hands.

A huge thank you to Amanda, Diane, Donna, and Debs who will be there to lend a helping hand and keep things running smoothly 🙌
I’m so grateful for them stepping in and supporting while I’m out.

Please still come along this week, showing up for you is what matters most 💙
And I know the girls will appreciate your support just as much as you’ll benefit from being there 🙌

✨ Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta ✨

This one’s always a winner in my house – proper comfort food but still only 368 calories a portion if you dish it up right 👌🏻

Ingredients
650g chicken breast, sliced or cubed
300g penne (uncooked) — 75g per person
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 bell peppers, sliced
Handful Spinach, chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
200ml chicken stock
60g Philadelphia Light (soft cheese)
Cajun
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste

I season the chicken with some of the JD Cajun and a little salt, then brown it off in a large pan (that colour = flavour). Take the chicken out and set to one side in a dish, in the same pan, add a splash of hot water and soften the onion. Once it’s starting to turn translucent, add the peppers, tomato puree, garlic, paprika and another good shake of the Cajun — stir it all through until it smells amazing 😍

Next, mix in the stock. Bring to the boil, pop the chicken back in and let it gently simmer for around 15–20 minutes so the sauce thickens and the chicken soaks up the spice.

While that’s bubbling away, cook your pasta as the packet says — and don’t forget to save half a cup (about 120ml) of the pasta water before draining. Add the pasta straight into the sauce, take it off the heat and fold in the 60g Philadelphia Light until it’s silky and creamy. Use the pasta water to loosen it to the consistency you like.

Serve with a pile of spinach or greens on the side so if like me 💁🏻‍♀️ you don’t overload the carbs 🙈💙 what can I say I’m a carbie girl 😂

✨ Slimming Tip of the Day – The Power of Fibre! ✨

Fibre isn’t just about keeping things moving… it’s one of the easiest ways to feel fuller, improve digestion, and support weight loss. 🌱

Little swaps like choosing wholemeal bread, adding beans to meals, or sprinkling seeds on porridge can make a big difference! 💪

How do you like to add more fibre into your day? 💭

✨ Happy 1st Birthday to A Better Weigh! ✨

What a year it has been! I’m so proud of everything we’ve built together. 💙

It’s been an honour and a joy to support our fantastic members, alongside my incredible team – Amanda, Debra, Diane, and Donna – with amazing help from Rachael and Cath too. And of course, the exceptional emotional support from every single member and friend who has encouraged and lifted this community. 🌿

Our aim has always been simple: to bring people together who share the same goal – to lose weight and feel healthier. But as we’ve learned, it’s about so much more than numbers on the scales… it’s about healing your relationship with food, building awareness of habits, and supporting each other every step of the way. 💫

Along the way, we’ve celebrated amazing weight losses, life-changing health improvements, and the most inspiring personal transformations. 💪✨

Here’s to a whole year of progress, friendship, and growth 🥂💐
