Thread: Ireland- bia- a bit of craic!

Hi Ruth why not give slimmingworld Ireland a call, you can get the number off the slimming world website.

Hey all,

Mugshots are hard to come by at the moment - its a supply issue - they can't keep up with the demand here. Also, if you have seen the Campbell's tomato and herb pasta - that's free(have seen it in Dunnes and Superquinn). Also - roast butternut squash soup is great for lunch etc. Alot of the Dublin based groups have Facebook pages with brilliant recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also - any Dublin base people - The Meat Factory in Ballymount does 99% fat free mince. He's working with Slimming World and has a green dot on the stuff that's syn free or low syn for us. I use franks hot sauce alot - it gives a kick and it's free!!

Hope everyone is doing well...

hi everyone
i joined this site a few weeks ago and am still trying to find my way around
i'm from roscommon.i joined SW on 1st Sept. i had lost a stone prior to my weigh in last friday. i was up 3 pounds at weigh in adn i was gutted

anyways, hello everyone...i've read this whole thread, ye are inspirational

girls...how do i update my stats. my current weight is 200lbs. have tried 'update statistics' but it wont work for me??

Hi all, wonder if you can help me - I am finding it hard to get really low fat mince. I usually buy my meat in the butchers and they think the fat content is 10% but it can vary. I dont really like to buy meat from the Supermarkets but if one of them have a really low fat one I would certainly get it - any suggestions, I am based in Cork.


thanks

By the way if you are looking for something sweet with your tea try the healthline tea biscuits (they are a diabetic biscuit). I have found them in Dunnes and Supervalu. They are a bit plain but at only half a syn each it takes the edge off my craving for something with my 9pm cuppa. They also do an apple biscuit which are 1 syn each.

Hi Fairymary,

Dunnes do a 95% lean mince. I have to say I'm not sure what classifies as syn-free mince myself. Do you know?

Thanks for the tip on the biscuits. Will have to keep an eye out for them!

thanks for that Slimmingsinead. I am doing SW on line and I have checked that mince with less than 5% fat is 0 Syns!!! i guess I will be off to my local dunnes to stock up.

No problem FairyMary!

So disappointed to be up 1/2 lb tonight. I stuck to the plan but felt 'big' all week. Hopefully I'll have a loss next week. Mind you, I'm away on a hen this weekend so don't like my chances!

Lost 2lb so I am happy with that. Dont worry about the small gain slimming sinead, its only a minor blip. Make sure to enjoy your Hen weekend.

Hopefully sw should become a little more widespread over here soon, they are trying to recruit more consultants at the moment. Its unbelievable the amount of people joining our group each week.

i just tried a Tesco light choices chicken noodle soup (instant stuff). God its awful. The weather was wet and windy and I fancied something hot to go with my homemade sandwich other tea. Tried to find something that was low in syns in the shop and this was the best I could find. It worked out at 2 syns but not worth it at all. It had no flavour, hot water with some noodles floating around in it. Brutal stuff. what a waste of syns and money!

Sounds yuck FairyMary. Anyone know if you can get the fat free supernoodles here or which would be the least amount of syns?

Hi Ladies.. so nice to hear about more and more people in Ireland joinig Slimming World
I joined end of Sept last year and currently down 4st 4lbs.. almost at target .. I can honestly say it's been the BEST thing I've done, but the Image Therapy is really what makes it. ... so much so I'm training at the moment and opening my own classes in Co.Kildare in January
... so keep going, BELIEVE me, I've been up, down, maintained, cried, smiled and laughed.. but stick with it...it's sooo worth it in the end!!!

P.s .... Tayto Chhese and Onion are only 6.5 syns pr bag...ENJOY!!!!
