They were ok actually. They had a slight yellow tinge to them, and I think next time I'll put a bit more sweetener in, but for a first attempt they were quite nice. I ate the whole tray while watching Eastenders last night lol

I do use all of mine every week. Then if my losses slow down I can reduce the amount of syns I use to kickstart losses again if i need to. Everyone has their own way that works for them, so if using all your syns is working for you then keep going.

2½ lb off for me too :)

Steak & peppercorn sauce wraps with wedges and veg.

OMG!! I have to say I did laugh, but more at the audacity of this woman! Though I totally get that you felt special.... it just goes to show how far you've come! :)

My C says you can do one or all of them, as long as you don't change your mind half way through the day, for example have a green breakfast then decide to do red or EE at lunch time. But mixing them up is fine.

They sound yummy... is there a recipe somewhere?

I have some in my oven right now, so I'll let you know how they turn out. I've just attempted mini ones this time.

I make mine in ramekin dishes.. haven't tried the oreo one, but I'm going to.. it sounds YUMMMM!

Mon 27th Sept Breakfast: yougurt and fruit Lunch: 2 sausages (joes), mashed potato and syn free gravy and veg Tea: cottage pie (with carrots, onions, mushrooms, peas and cut green beans), with a side salad. HEA: cheese HEB: fibre plus bar Syns: 1 packet velvet crunch (4), 2 pink n whites (5)...

Cottage pie with a large salad.

WOW!! Well done you!! :)

keeping everything crossed for you xx

I use either splenda or tesco's sucralose granulated. Aspartame gives me a headache.

Sun 26th sept Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs and a bowl of fruit. Lunch: chinese style pork (Joe's) with stirfry. Tea: Pork cutlet, with tomato, onion & pepper salsa (home made), steamed cut greens, sugar snap peas, carrots, and roasted courgette & baby plum tomatoes, and red pepper and spring onion...

I was going to say have it too! have it as a flexi day, or cut the syns back tomorrow to make up for it. Having said that, my daughter had a birthday last week and I didn't have any of her cake, I made a mini cheesecake for me instead (SW style of course). but had it have been a chocolate...

Good for you! Good luck with your journey. Last week when my parents were up for a visit, we went to a fish and chip shop at the beach. I was good and had a lobster salad, but I DID have chips with it... The next day I felt awful! I had toilet issues and felt really heavy and bloated. I think...

I had my parents up for a week, and although I stayed on plan (and lost 2lb), I didn't get on the computer much, and I didn't write everything down, so I'm starting up again from when they left. friday 24th sept Breakfast: 2 joes sausages, fried egg, tomatoes and mushrooms Lunch: packet pasta...

I normally just use quark for my cheesecakes as it's free.

I've made a crust for salmon before, I made up a small amount of cous cous (cooked in fish stock) and added lemon pepper, salt and pepper and some finely chopped red pepper. It was really yummy.. in fact I'm having salmon tonight.. I think I might make it again lol :p

Yep, they are def free, and I'm heading to asda this afternoon :p

I put some schwartz garlic and herb shaker and some cracked black pepper.. it's really nice! Tonight we are having steamed salmon, with roasted vegetables and a red pepper & spring onion mash.

It's 5 syns for 28g, so quite high, but I really like them, I make them quite small so get 2 small dumplings for the 5 syns. I've also used the ready made stuff which is 1 syn for 28g, but I like the seasonings in it, which you can't add with the ready made stuff.

It's half price membership right now, so total to pay now would be £9.95 on the first night. £5 for membership and the £4.95 weekly fee.

I make it up as per the packet instructions, only using half stock and half water, and adding some garlic and herb shaker (scwartz), salt and pepper. When cooked I use a dessert spoon to scoop and shape them, and place on a plate. When they are all cooled, I refridgerate them so they are set...

I do exercise, but not for weight loss, but to keep active and to tone up as I lose the weight, and if it helps with the weight loss then thats a bonus. I do a mile on my exercise bike every night while watching the soaps, I go swimming twice a week, and do wii fit 3 times a week (on the days i...

Beef stew with polenta dumplings in the slow cooker... It's smelling fantastic!

I still feel that way, and I've been going about 4 months now. But I've lost just over 2 stone. I love it!

We're having chilli con carne :)

2 lb off for me this week and got my 2 stone shiny :)

We had peppered steak pittas. Used a packet of Joes peppered steak and chopped it into bitesized pieces then fried it with onions, chillies, mixed peppers, garlic and mushrooms with fry light, once it was browned, added a bit of milk to make a peppercorn sauce then filled the pitta with the...

Thurs 16th sept Breakfast: yogurt with fruit Lunch: SW fish and chips with mushy peas, followed by a bowl of fruit Tea: sausage casserole with veg, beans, tomatoes and topped with cheese. (3 syns a portion) HEA: Milk HEB: fibre plus bar Syns: 20g mozzarella (3), breadcrumbs (1.5), alpen light...

I had that the other night... we roasted the lightly smoked salmon with some baby plum tomatoes, red onion cut into wedges, mushrooms, mixed peppers and courgette... and seasoned well... It was REALLY good and the juices from the veg kept the salmon nice and tender.

We're having sausage casserole..yumm For lunch we're having SW breaded fish (1.5 syns a portion), chips and mushy peas. Can smell it cooking now..yummmmm :drool:

Weds 15th Got some super duper painkillers and I think I'm getting back to normal (whatever normal is..lol) Although still relying on pills to keep me from going insane with the agony, they do allow me to eat better. (and yes, prescribed meds lol) Breakfast: 2 Joes sausages, 1 egg, and loads...

Tues 14th. Absolute agony today, have barely been able to open my mouth let alone eat. I think i either have dry socket or some kind of infection, so couldn't stick to plan at all today. Breakfast: weetabix with extra milk (like a milkshake, and sucked through a straw). Lunch: Missed lunch due...

Mon 13th Breakfast: Yogurt with chopped fruit Lunch: SW quiche w/ beans Tea: 3 Scottish slimmers venison sausages (0.5 syns each), mashed potato and broccoli/carrots, syn free gravy HEA: milk HEB: pack ryvita minis. Syns: 1 small glass apple juice (2.5), 1 packet skips (4)

Sun 12th (still having issues getting larger food items or chewy things in) Breakfast: scrambled egg and a few slices of tomato Lunch: vegetable soup x2 Tea: packet pasta Syns: 1 packet of skips (4)

That's fantastic!!! Well done! :)

The plastic holder is for your card, or at least thats what our C said, and not for the pin. Once you have registered your PIN then all you need is your personal password and email address to log in each week.

Completely agree LOL :p Welcome aboard:)

I'm sure you'll love SW, I looked into Scottish Slimmers, but the whole calorie counting thing put me off..lol Good luck with your first meet tonight:).

it costs £4.95 a week and £10 to register. As for how much you lose.. well how long is a piece of string? It depends if you stick to it 100%, how much you have to lose and lots of other things. but 1-2lb a week is about average.

LOL Yes the cowdenbeath one has toilets. And Hilary is an excellent consultant. I'm actually living in Lochore, but go to C/B for SW.

I got mine tonight too.

OOhhh where about's in Fife are you? I go to cowdenbeath class. Nice to see another Fifer:)

Strange.. mine seems to be ok, but then I have the log on page saved to my favourites, rather than the home page.. maybe thats why it's letting me on as normal.

My signature has my food diary in it, but today I had: Breakfast: Fried ham, loads of mushrooms and baby plum tomatoes Lunch: 2 bowls of home made vegetable soup Tea: scottish slimmers venison sausages (0.5 syns each), SW wedges and loads of roasted, seasoned veg. I also snacked on fruit...

I don't put lemon in mine, I use EL laughing cow and herbs.

I think thats half the fun of it...lol I love when I make kievs and you cut in and the sauce just dribbles out... yummmmmm

As soon as I can chew again, I'll be making this, it looks devine! And I love my chinese!

and if you have either quorn sausages or joe's sausages it's still free:)

Yes they are free on EE providing 1/3 of the plate is super free. Potatoes, peas and sweetcorn are not classed as super free. so have 1/3 of the plate protein, 1/3 carbs and the other 1/3 with super free veg/salad.

Do you keep a food diary? Could you post a few days worth of your meals/snacks/syns? What plan are you doing? (Green/red/EE). If we had some more info we could maybe suggest things to try.

Good idea, I wouldn't have thought about adding the veg to a stock cube...

Fantastic! And yes I DOOOO love SW breakfasts! It still amazes me the things we can eat! Non SW'ers always seem amazed when I say I had a fry up for breakfast..lol

Yes Sparky it would be free providing you were using the milk as a HEA. :) You could also make your own mullerice by cooking up some normal rice with sweetener, then adding it to a muller light. saves on using the milk too.

You could always 'spice up' your roasted veg. I always season mine, either with salt/pepper or garlic/ chilli flakes etc... you can use something different each time and it tastes different. I've also used potatoes as a HE as well. I tend to stick to EE because it gets rid of this problem, but...

I've just had another Joes order, so i think i feel a toad in the hole coming on..lol :drool:

I always rinse my rice once it's ready, and allow it to drain thoroughly before frying. The longer you can leave it to drain the better. And I'll definitely be trying this recipe, sounds YUMMM!

So I've been trying to find a way of making my mini cheesecakes effectively syn free.. I haven't quite managed syn free, but I have got it down to a healthy extra base. In a bowl mix 28g porridge oats with sweetener (to your own taste) and cinnamon, then add a little water and a few sprays of...

Good luck and welcome!

I'm doing slightly better today, I managed to have some fried mushrooms and tomatoes with some ham for breakfast, although I had to leave half the ham because it was too chewy and it hurt but did manage the mushrooms and tomatoes. I have a tesco delivery coming at lunch time with some softer...

I agree one bottle won't hurt. a couple weeks ago i went away to a wedding.. I spent 4 days eating and drinking the wrong things... I had an indian, and then lots of wine, the next night was the wedding and I had loads of fatty foods, cakes and wine, then the next night I was at my best friends...

I'm having scrambled egg with cheese and ketchup as I'm on a soft diet today

Thank you! :) Yesterday I didn't manage to have a lot because I was in hospital having teeth pulled, so all I had was some weetabix for breakfast, then some mashed potato and butter for supper about 8pm. I was told not to eat anything after 7.30am and then after the surgery I couldn't move my...

I agree, you don't want them left in.. Mine was actually pushing the molar next to it, and making a hole in it, it was agony, drinking through a straw when I had anything hot because it hurt if water got in the hole. Although I'm in pain right now... I know in a few days it will heal and I'll...

You could bypass the tomato puree syns by using passata instead of puree and tinned tomatoes, it's thicker than chopped tomatoes and makes a lovely rich sauce for free:)

I usually get my mince from sainsbury's, but I had to do an online order and sainsbury's don't deliver to me. I always drain off my mince anyway, wherever I buy it.

Knorr Ragu Pasta sauce, Traditional, jar 500g jar 11½ Syns on Extra Easy Original 11½ Syns...

I have morrisons green tea with mint, and it's really refreshing. In fact I don't drink 'normal' tea anymore, which frees up my HEA for cheese if i want it..lol I didn't buy it for the weight loss though, I got it for something different and liked it.

I add cauliflower and broccoli and onions to mine. Then I make some rice, adding stock to the water for flavour, and add some turmeric while cooking to make it yellow. When ready I throw some petits pois and chopped red pepper, and diced onion and garlic to it, then fry it before serving...

I've tried all three, and find EE works best for me in regard to losses.

I agree, that seems an awfully small amount to eat and your body will just store it as it goes into starvation mode. I would have piled up that sandwich and had a salad with it, and maybe a yogurt afterwards if I was still hungry. You definitely need to up your food intake otherwise your body...

Tesco's is under their healthy living mince range. I just did an online order with tesco's since I'm not well enough to go out shopping, and when I put in extra lean beef mince, nothing came up, but when I put healthy living mince in, it came up right away with extra lean mince under the healthy...

Their taste the difference salmon is really good. I won't buy any other salmon now:) Free on red and EE.

Ohh ok then.. thanks for that:)

What a fantastic idea! I never even thought of fruit juice!! using syns (and normally I'd NEVER use them on juice lol) and getting extra fruit in... Thanks!:D

I have disolvable stiches in the 2 biggest ones, so maybe that's why I can use it:confused:? Hubby suggested making me a smoothie without the milk or yogurt, and sieving it to get rid of the seeds so I at least get some fruit in me. which I would also syn. I have some tinned asparagus which...

CornishPisky - I think I'd prefer to be called a black and blue hamster LOL My hubby has been calling me Mrs Blobby!!:eek: And yeah thats a good idea about just liquidizing normal SW food. Might have to look in the freezer once I'm able to walk without feeling sick....lol Pammyd - pasta n...

Eternity, I'm not sure I can have scrambled eggs as they are classed as dairy. But the mash with some syn free gravy sounds good, I won't be cooking but I can give hubby instructions on how to make it. Mashed banana does sound good.. maybe some mashed banana and jelly for pudding tonight..lol...

I leave the skins on, and use baby pearl potatoes cut into quarters (so wedges more than chips) then put them straight into my actifry, add some fry light and salt, pepper, and schwartz shaker garlic and herb then turn it on.... absolutely lush!

I love it because nothing is banned and it's not portion controlled!

I have a couple mugshots, so I might try that for lunch, just chop it up a little bit to make it easier.

You could try having larger meals, and then maybe you would be fuller and not need as many. I try to have my syns right after I've had my tea because I'm already satisfied, and I don't NEED to have lots of syns. By the time I have my tea, and then a bowl of fruit about half an hour later, all...

I had known for a while that I needed to have some teeth taken out in hospital because one wisdom tooth was growing sideways:sign0137:, and was on the waiting list. Well I got a call on thursday late afternoon saying there was a cancellation for friday, and so I took it, since I was already...

Thursday. Breakfast: bacon, egg, mushrooms & tomatoes. Lunch: cheese and ham toastie w/ side salad Tea: steamed sea bass, with wedges and roasted veg. HEA: 42g mozzarella HEB: 3 slices WW danish brown bread syns: 1 packet snack a jacks (5.5) snacks: bowl of strawberries, vanilla activia...

Yes it's a soft cheese. I've found it in all the major supermarkets. I use it in loads of things, but one of my faves is to make a creamy peppercorn sauce for steak...yummmm

I agree it was probably jealousy. If that had been me I probably would have asked her what her problem is, but that's just me..lol Ignore her, you are doing really well.

Oops! Totally lapsed there for a bit, things have been crazy here, trips away, life.. you know how it is. Ok so Yesterday. Breakfast: strawberries, blueberries, rasps and greengages with a vanilla activia yogurt on top. Lunch: hot and spicy chicken stir fry. Tea: pitta pizza, large salad and...

I think it's normal, mine has done some crazy stuff since I started, I'll have a good loss then maybe not so good, or a STS, then maybe a gain and then lose again. I don't know WHY it happens, but it's happened to me too.

I sometimes just have it on it's own.. I really like it. I like it with SW chips, then I can dip my chips into it, then eat the rest when the chips are gone... :drool:

We're having pitta pizzas! I'm all excited since finding out the co-op wholemeal pittas were a HEB, but my local co-op didn't have them, so drove around today to find a bigger one, and finally got some.... so we're going to have pitta pizza, large salad and SW wedges. YUMMMM...:drool:

I make sure I have all of mine, just so I have something to change if i plateau. Also so I can have 'naughty' stuff lol:p

Welcome aboard the SW train :)

Wetherspoons is shocking for syns. My C told us last night that their supreme nacho's are 85 syns!!:eek: (Since our discussion was about syn values). But 62.5, while high is still within your allowance for the week, so it shouldn't affect your weight loss for this week.

That's dreadful! Had she packed the stuff away already? Sometimes we have late comers, and so long as our C is still there, she will weigh you.... I would definitely be having words, if it isn't the area leader or the rude one I would definitely try and get a number or phone SW direct to make...

Ok, first off... it isn't ONLY a pound... it should be "wooohooo a lb!" Because a loss is a loss regardless of the size of it. So well done losing a lb :). That's 1 lb less than last week. I would say eat more to lose more. Eat until you are satisfied, and not the amount you think you 'should'...

Wow!! Congrats!! I either have a sandwich as my HEB, or hifi, porridge, wholemeal crackerbreads, and sometimes even make a HEB cheesecake! (using either porridge oats, or alpen lights or hi-fi's as the base)

I lost 3½ lb and got SOTW!!! :):):):)

There are some really yummy things in this months mag... been trying to make something every day from it.

We're having steamed salmon, with seasoned wedges and roasted peppers/mushrooms/baby plum tomatoes/red onion/courgette. It's all cooking away now, and smells delicious... *droool*

I did that a few weeks ago when my brother came to visit, we went to the beach, but not only did I have the ice cream from a parlour, I had fish and chips too.... That week I also had a meal out, and I gained ½ lb that week.... But since then I've lost that and more. I think you'll be ok if you...

My C never actually mentions gains. When asking the question of the day, if we've had losses then she'll say the amount lost and the total lost but if we've had a gain she just asks us the question. So we know it was a gain for that person, but better than HEARING it and she never says the amount.

1½ lb off for me :)

That looks YUMMMM.. I'm going to have to try this!

I think I just put 5lb on LOOKING at the dessert menu!! I would just go and enjoy yourself and have what you want, then get back to it the next day.

Ok now I've got to try this, I keep meaning to, but the toffee magic P with banana sounds GOOOOOD! :p

Our C said it can be anything, doesn't just have to be about how much weight is lost. It CAN be about someone who has lost a lot of weight, or someone who makes you laugh, or someone who has inspired you in some way. Not sure if thats how it is for all classes but thats what ours said.

My kids started back at school this week (well one started primary school and the others went back to nursery) and I obviously have changed shape because I had parents and teachers (at nursery) commenting about how I looked!!:D It was so nice to hear... Even the cleaner who I don't really know...

Yep when you get to the eat & slim, click on the latest healthy extras and at the top, then you can 'tick' a box for what plan (red, green and EE) and for what HE you want (A or B), then use the first drop down box for the type of HE and the second drop down to see the list of HE's you can have.

I agree, we all do it... I found out last week that hubby had bought the wrong bread, he'd gotten WW malted instead of the WW danish brown.... I'd been having toast every day last week for breakfast or with soup for lunch, I never even really looked at the bag as I took it out... then when I...

½ lb off for me :)

I saw it on FB too, and watched the video. Amazing.

We're having salmon with lemon and garlic cous cous (home made) and roasted veg (courgette, red onion, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes).

I've done this before, but I topped a banana split with it... so I had a banana cut in half, with sweetened quark in the middle with some strawbs/ rasps sprinkled on top, then add the alpen light 'gloop' to the top... it's YUMMMMM!

I got some from morrisons about 2 weeks ago.

I haven't been here for a couple of weeks, so didn't see your original post, otherwise I would have replied.

Purplehearts - I had the same thing, I had 3 babies in 2.5 yrs... I was a size 10 before that, it really does bad things to your body..lol

3lb off for me.. only just got round to posting as had visitors here this week.

Where abouts in Scotland are you going?

Thanks for the ideas everyone... I've planned as much as I can, I've got some extra lean mince in (I already had 2 in the freezer, but bought 2 more) to make either cottage pie, spag bol or chilli. I bought a big 10Kg bag of potatoes, and have tons of fresh and frozen veg. I think i have been...

spicy butterfly prawns (made with HEX breadcrumbs and spices). They are sooooo good!

I have my brother, and his wife and 2 kids coming to visit for a week on Saturday, and I'm wondering how I'm going to manage. Either way I think it's going to cost me a fortune to feed us all. If I cook SW meals for us all, that's an AWFUL lot of fresh fruit and veg (there will be 4 adults and 5...

Providing you've had your 1/3 superfree at each meal, then I can't see why it can't be an EE day. Just remember that you've already had you HEX's and it should be fine.

I buy the boxes/bags of frozen fruit, get a variety of different fruits, then make individual freezer bags, with mxed fruits in. Each evening I take one bag out and put it in the fridge, and it's defrosted by the next morning.

I'm in Scotland, not West Lothian though, and I'm 34. I used to live in South Queensferry, but moved into Fife 2 years ago.

Good luck with WI :)

We get one of tesco's tray of 30 eggs a week, and I have to say I probably eat 3/4 of that, and the kids will have the occasional egg sandwich or boiled egg. Eggs rock!! :p

OMG I suffer terribly.... Or should I say the rest of the family suffer terribly!! If only wind had weight eh? We'd be slim in a week!!:8855:

we have just had beef mince jambalaya, it was really YUM (fried rice SW style, mixed with extra lean mince, passata, beef stock, garlic, red onion, mushrooms and baby carrots, and parmesan sprinkled on top [HExA])

I know!! I didn't even do sneaky weighs when doing fishy week, but I think because I was feeling so bloaty I couldn't help myself. But I won't be doing it again before WI.

I have mine daily and get a tuperware tub and put my syns in at the beginning of the day (like this week I am having 5 syns because of my disaster day yesterday) so I have 10 mikado's in there. I can nibble on them throughout the day or have them all while watching the soaps, but all the syns...

I'm 5'9 and I haven't set my target yet, I'll be doing that on tuesday (btw I got my club 10 last tuesday!!) but the consultant had about 7 new members and I got there just before class so she asked if we could set the target next week. I'm looking at 11st, but that might change when I get...

Thanks guys, I am feeling a bit better today, even managed to do the wii fit for half an hour (usually do an hour a day, but baby steps til I am all better). I've been really good today, fruit for breakfast and a yogurt, then bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and scrambled egg for lunch. On the plus...

I struggle with green days too, but EE and red I'm ok with. I do mostly EE with a couple red days thrown in. But then I don't eat a whole lot of pasta or rice. maybe once a week, if I'm having a curry (rice) or spaghetti bolognese or something. I also limit my bread because that seems to stay on...

I don't know what happened, I was feeling so ill, my chest was feeling tight (I actually looked about 6 months pregnant!!), my stomach was really bloated, and it's not even close to * week. I was getting awful pains in my abdomen, and so there was NO way I was going to be cooking. I spent half...

I lost 3lb doing fishy week. I enjoyed it but I'm looking forward to eating some normal dinners too now lol

Good morning... Tonight's the night... I'm getting all excited now!! So breakfast was I had yogurt and fruit followed by crispbread with sild. Lunch will be vegetable soup (which is cooking now and smells soooooooo good!) with a salmon salad sandwich. Tea, I'm not sure yet, hubby has asked me...

I have green tea with mint, it's lovely!

I would try to add veg/salad to the meal rather than having it afterwards. I only do that when it's impossible to make the 1/3 plate superfree. So with the egg and chips, I would've added some mushrooms and grilled tomatoes. I also wouldn't have my weetabix as a snack, that's just my...

Wow!! Good losses ladies! Hope mine is as good tomorrow!

Good luck on WI MLM!! Can't wait to hear how you did. My WI is tomorrow :)

My trousers are feeling a little looser since starting fishy week, I'm hoping that it's a good sign. Todays food is: Breakfast: grapefruit, 1 slice toast with sild in tomato sauce Lunch: egg and tuna mayonaise salad (1 syn for 2 tbsp EL mayo) Tea: crunchy salmon (crushed crackerbread and...

I actually have trouble using my syns up every day. I save them for the evening to snack while I'm watching the soaps. Last night I had a packet of snack a jacks (5.5), a muller light inspired by (1), an alpen light (3) a bowl of mango, 5 mikados (last of the box - 2.5) 1 cracker bread (crushed...

I might try the exfoliating scrub :)

I got raw jumbo prawns, and fried them with tikka powder, garlic and ginger before adding them to the vegetable curry mix.

Tonight it's prawn curry... Only one more day of fish week after today, and then it's WI :) (tues)

I get their bags of frozen mango, it's really nice.

You're welcome!:D

I have 3 stone left to lose. I started out at 14 st 7 lb, and have lost 1 st 3 lb so far.

Go to your food diary and copy the address (right click the address bar and click copy), then go to user CP and edit signature. click on the insert link button (looks like 2 chain links) and paste the address into that, and hit Ok. then delete the second link address (you'll see a ] after the...

You could make your own kebabs. Ingredients: ½ pound of minced lamb (use extra lean) ½ pound of minced beef (use extra lean) 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon, black pepper 2 teaspoons, wholemeal flour (3 syns per tbsp) ¼ teaspoon, cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon, garlic powder ½ teaspoon, onion powder 1...

Isn't there any other classes near you? I actually go to one a bit further out, my closest one is a mile away, but I go to one 4 miles away because I'd been told the C was fantastic, and everyone is so nice.

Morning! So today's menu for me is: Breakfast: summer fruits/ yogurt, tinned pilchards Lunch: tuna melt, with salad tea: prawn and veg curry, with rice.

This was the only natural cottage cheese on there except the virtually fat free which is 0. Longley Farm Cottage Cheese, Natural, Low Fat 100g 1½ Syns...

Ohhhhh they sound yummmy! and 4 syns not bad... I'm always looking for new ways to spend my syns!

I would say that if it's not on the HE list then no, you can't do that.... Well technically you COULD but it might affect the losses. That's just me though.

voted.... There should have been an option for 'any night' because I'm on most evenings, but I had to chose a day, so went for my WI night to either brag or have you all kick me into touch :p

I'm afraid not, it's 2.5 syns a slice.

Saturday 17th july Breakfast: Grapefruit, 1 slice WW DB toast (part of HEB) with pilchards Lunch: cheesy tagliatelle (cheese HEA) with lots of veg and salmon fillet on top. Tea: steamed pollock, mixed vegetables and seasoned wedges. Snacks: 1 vienese whirl (7), 1 pack sweet chilli snack a...

I'm not having any problems accessing it.

That's half what I spent:o but I buy the marinaded meats and stuff too, and it lasts ages because we don't have it every day.

I had pilchards on toast for breakfast, with a grapefruit. Then for lunch I had cheesy (HEA) tagliatelle and veg with salmon fillet placed on top...YUMMM. Tonight we're having breaded (HEB) alaskan polluck with roast potatoes and veg.

I just made a cheesy pasta with mine. warm the quark (don't let it boil or it will curdle), a little water and stir in 28g parmesan (HEA) and add mushroom, onions and any other veg you want, and then add the pasta to it. I had mine with 2 salmon fillets placed on top of my tagliatelle:)

I use tesco lighter mature and thats yummy too:)

I tend to just nip out if I look in the cupboard/fridge and can't find what I'm looking for..lol I'll do a big shop every 2 weeks, but during that time, I'm always popping to the shop, for fruit, veg, fish etc...

I'm still having between 10 and 15.

Add them to some flavoured rice? Or on a jacket potato.

Friday 16th july Breakfast: Grapefruit, 1 slice WW DB (part of HEB) with pilchards in tomato sauce. Lunch: Tuna salad sandwich (rest of HEB) Tea: starter: scallop salad, sprinkled with 28g parmesan (HEA) & vegetable soup Snacks: bowl of strawberries, packet of skips (4), 1 packet crack o...

LOL me too! I eat quite a bit of fish anyway, but never as much as this, I'm having 2 fish dinners a day, but some mornings I have pilchards on toast as well as the actual fish dinners! I'm going to look like a fish by tuesday!!

Step away..... I am trying too, and if YOU give up.. I might too! And I don't wanna!

I would have got all they had and frozen them :)

That's fantastic!! I'm hoping to get in the 12's tuesday too:)

Well done!! I love when you don't expect to lose but you do:)

I've just been to sainsbury's and got a bit carried away buying the fish..lol I bought sea bass, prawns, scallops, cod, cockles, scottish loch trout, and polluck... Plus I still have haddock, tuna, pilchards, sardines and sild at home!! I think I'll be doing 2 fish weeks!! :p

I would just explain to them that you are doing SW and can't have them.. I'm sure they will understand.

I'm resisting the urge to weigh myself mid week, but dying to know whether it's helped. Must stay strong, must stay strong! Just polished off some pilchards in tomato sauce on toast:)

How do you mince it? Just in a processor?

Well done! Thats a good loss xx

The ones in tomato sauce are free on red/EE. I have them on toast for breakfast a lot :)

I had rainbow trout tonight with new potatoes and veg. I had to laugh at the PW too!

I don't mind them, but prefer the sweet chilli ones.

½ lb is still a loss, well done!

I edited my original post, I misread, though it was regular mince not lamb..lol I'm having one of those days!

Darn it..misread the title lol... Tesco's do a lean lamb mince, but haven't seen extra lean.

Good luck for WI xx

Yep, tesco, asda and sainsbury's do the extra lean mince.

I have Chings book as well, she is awesome!! I also use 'Big Kev, Little Kev's book a lot too. I have a few Jamie Oliver books. I also love Gordon Ramsay (not literally..lol :p) and Ainsley Harriet. I watch food network a lot when there's nothing on as I love to get ideas.

Guilty here too!!:8855: Or have 2 hifi's, syn one and have the other as a HExB.. I mean...WHO can choose between flavours??

OMG me too!! Mine today said he wanted to get out of the house, as it's been raining all week here, and I started off on one saying I knew he was sneaking out to buy cigarettes (which he couldn't because he didn't have his wallet on him, then I cursed him out because he was leaving me with the...

I agree, it won't harm your losses, I think it's just so you don't get bored of them... Although I could NEVER get bored of the hifi or alpen lights. I just tried the chocolate/mint hifi and could eat them ALL day every day!!

You can do that, but it's advised that you vary what you have in the long term. but every now and then is fine.

Is that the original ones though? Or is that the flatbread co? The flatbread co ones are not a HExB. But would be wonderful if the original ones were making their way back to the shelves!

I looked them up and got the nutritional info and put it through the calculator. They are 2 syns each.

it's 19 syns for the whole thing, or for 5g it's 1 syn

Yep they are all the sausages and burgers are syn free, as are the marinaded meats. And no it's not too good to be true, their bacon is really nice too, but last visit to the website it was temporarily unavailable. Yes they are expensive, but it's good quality food and really lovely. I don't...

I do this all the time towards the end of the week, and most of the time they end up being super yummy! A couple weeks ago I had only 3 eggs, a tin of potatoes, some ham, and shallots... I ended up making a fritatta, and added some herbs and spices and it was lush!

In fact, I just weighed the bag of skips I got in the multipack I got for the kids, (because the weight wasn't on the bag) and the multipack bags are the 15.5g ones, so they are only 4 syns each:) Even better!

You won't be able to find the asda ones as they were taken off the shelves. So unless you have them in your freezer, then you won't find them. They've been replaced in asda but the new ones are not a HExB.

I think it was a good idea to have this thread. Please don't feel bad about it. I'm sure there are a lot of people who see these miracle slimming pills and think.."Great I can lose EVEN more...." so you are actually helping people by leaving this post on. It's a good thing to have the info out...

There are currently no wholemeal pittas on the HExB list:(

I think it's possible. I've had a chinese before on WI night, and still managed to lose the following week.

I was like that last week. Felt like I had to force myself to eat my meals, because I just didn't want anything. Funny though, since starting 'fish week', I've not had that problem. Seems I don't feel as bloated so when it comes to dinner time/tea time, I'm actually hungry again.

I had that with one bought at co-op. Just recently I've been buying mixed leaf bags of lettuce, adds colour and flavour to salads:)

Yep, I get them once a month (HUGE order..lol). I've tried almost everything they have. :)

Welcome! :)

Oh wow! I NEED to find these, the possibilities are endless for cooking!!

Day 6, and still no cigs:D I have tried loads of times before and failed after a day or 2... I guess this time I was just 'ready'.

thurs 15th july Breakfast: red grapefruit, 28g special K sustain, topped with banana, strawberries and blueberries. Lunch: prawn stir fry Tea: steamed rainbow trout, roasted new potatoes, petits pois & carrots Snacks: 2 ryvita crackerbread with marmite (2 syns), mint hifi (6), packet crack o...

Welcome, and well done on your loss so far, thats amazing in a short space of time! :)

yogurt with fruit, but if I'm in a savoury mood, I'll either make wedges or blitz some vegetable soup (I have individual portions in the freezer at all times).

The very first time I tried SW (going back over 10 years now) I remember pot noodles being free too.... I used to have them for dinner almost every day..lol and corned beef sandwiches...sigh

I go swimming every morning, and do the wii 3 x a week. I'm actually taking a break from swimming this week though, because hubby is having a bit of a bad week, health wise (he had a stroke last year) and I have the kids off school, but I've just started doing the wii every day instead.

Skips are 4.5 a bag :)

Yup all free on EE and red:)

I drink 4-5 cups of green tea, and have water in between, I also eat tons of speed and super speed. Will see if it works next WI, as I just started with the green tea.

Shape zero I think is was the PP meant. Also you could get natural yougurt and add sweetener, I have this quite a bit. Onken vanilla fat free yogurt is smooth too.

TBH I find the tinned crab meat very bland. I bought some a few weeks ago, and couldn't eat it. So if you're going to use it, I would season it really well. or add it to the rice when it's almost done cooking so it can absorb the flavour of the savoury rice. I prefer to get the crab from the...

I've been doing it 7 weeks and lost over a stone already, and I am never hungry. I absolutely love it! :)

I got weighed last night, so am starting fish week today. For breakfast I had sardines on toast, then grapefruit straight afterwards. Then for lunch I had a prawn/cheese toastie with salad. Lucky I always have a ton of fish in my freezer!

all EE I missed a couple of days, so I'll just copy them into one post to catch up. Sunday Breakfast: red grapefruit, muller light Lunch: chicken salad Tea: vegetable soup and 3 slices WW danish brown bread to dip:) (HEB) Snacks: hot tomato snack a jacks (5.5), 4 spring onion...

Well I do EE so chicken is free, but on green you can have 113g of chicken (raw weight) or you could use quorn pieces. So yes, it is syn free if you have the chicken as a HEB or use quorn.:) I also add extra veg to mine to bulk it up.

It's the press conference for the SW man of the year 2010. He's done amazingly well, and has made me even more determined to get where I want to be! Slimming World Press Area - Press Area

Mine eats what I cook, and if he doesn't like it... Then he knows what he can do:8855: But seriously, there are some things that I love that he's not so crazy about, but he just makes his own tea if I'm having something he doesn't want, either that or he'll eat with the kids.

0.5 lb on for me, but I'm happy with that, I thought it would be more. I gave up smoking and so have been eating more. Rather put on the half lb than have the smokes:)

There are a few of the dinner kits online, which one do you have?

I've just ordered my second lot of stuff from them, I think I got near enough one of everything! But I've yet to try something of theirs that hasn't tasted wonderful! I got extras of the marinaded meats because they are so lush:)

Bowyers Pork Sausages, Less Than 5% Fat, 8 pack, chilled 50g each 1 Syns on Extra Easy Original 1 Syns...

Alpen light choc and fudge flavour. Can either have 2 as a healthy extra B, or they are 3 syns each. Always helps me when I crave choc. Or you could make a mini cheese cake earlier in the day to have in the evening. Recipe here...

Which one was it? if it was the 2% one, it's still only 1.5 syns for the whole tub. :)

What make are they?

LOL I find it hillarious! poor guy, but that will teach him to come by unannounced!

Day 5 and still going strong:) I've stopped using the inhaler altogether, and just have the patch on for 12 hrs a day.

That sound really nice, I like chick peas but not the texture, which is why I've never bought it, but I might get some and blitz it for a dip...

blackberries, redcurrants, strawbs, mangoes, grapefruit, broccoli... Oh heck I love it all.. :D Only thing I don't like is peppers.

Try looking at peoples food diaries, there's some great ideas in there.:)

I bought a few from class a couple weeks ago and one is on order, and none of them were over a fiver.

Good for you, and I bet you feel great for it too, instead of guilty or hungover the day after! I just hope I can exercise the same control next month when my sister in law comes to visit! Last time she was here we got through a whole bottle of sambuca in one night!

YEY a stop smoking buddy!! :) Well today is a better day, I took the patch off about 9pm last night, and went to bed at 10.30pm and had no problems. I woke this morning and put a new patch on, and I haven't even wanted the inhaler! I know I can't do without the patches yet, as I did want a...
