I first joined SW over a year ago to lose weight for my mums wedding, I worked hard to stick to plan and got some of the way to my target on a 12 week countdown. At the end of my 12 weeks moved in house and my new housemate didn't need to worry about her weight so loved cooking fat rich dinners...

The pasta salad is not as many as I thought it would be! Choose a super rainbow salad thinking it would be better than the pasta sald, turns out its double the syns :-(

Its 6 syns on the online calculator including the dressing

Hi all Wondered if anyone could explain why Pret a Manger Tuna Nicoise Salad without dressing has 1.5 syns. It was just salad leaves, a slice of lemon, plum tomatoes, tuna, capers and a boiled egg. Surely if you made this yourself it wouldnt have any? Thanks.

so glad its not 11.5, its tiny!

These sound yummy and nice and summery

I have been given a few eggs so thinking as I have given up chocolate for lent to let myself indulge on Sunday and then start fresh money bagging up any remaining chocolate into 5 syn bags as suggested above. Have booked in a gym class on Sunday in hope it will combat some of the chocolate!

That's useful to know, I love Galaxy chocolate!

This month magazine has the feature on the syns I believe!

Keep seeing this book in group, from reading these posts shall definitely be buying it this week :-)

Is it being redone this weekend or next one? If it's the next one I would make extra portions in the week so I could just microwave them. That's what i try to do for lunch at work where we only have a microwave.

I finally made it back to a slimming world class, a year after I last went. I had been on track last year to reach target then moved house and moved away from my group and didn't find the time to return. As I was training for a triathlon type event it didn't seem to matter too much, but with the...

This looks like a great challenge, going to start it today! Do people find it best to do them in the morning or evening?

I have decided to give up chocolate too, havent been finding it too hard till my dads and his gf got back from skiing and she had saved me a milka Chocolate bar she got :-( have hidden it in the back of the cupboard in the hope that if i cant see it i wont be tempted!

Hi I am starting back on Sliming world and wondered if people know if any of COOKs low ready meals are free on SW? We have a COOK shop just round the corner and I love all their meals especially the Pad Thai and Japense Salmon. I am hoping as they make it from fresh and dont use a lot of...

Hi Does anyone know the syns for a Lindt Easter egg and then the mini Lindt egg chocolates that come with it? Thanks,

oooo I have just brought a packet so very happy its HEXB :-)

It was a 25g box. Thanks for letting me know the new value :-)

Thats a good idea, think I shall give myself a limit of syns I will eat on the day and ensure I dont eat past it. I am on a walking holiday over easter so hoping as i will be exercising it will be ok to have a few more syns. :-)

:-( just read the above, had the variety pack of cearals at home and choose cheerios as they were lowest calorie content and didnt have time to look up and see which were HE, now wish I had had the shredded wheat.

If I roast vegetables (free veg) in the spray light then blend im guessing it would make syn free soup correct?

I had a skinny vanilla (sugar free syrup) latte today, hoping it was free as my HEX :-) really wanted the apple fritter doughnut but thinking that would have been far too many sins!

Hi I am joining my local slimming world on Wednesday night, how did you find your first meeting? X

Hi I'm 21, turning 22 this month. I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 67.4kg. I thought after finishing Uni all the weight I had put on from the alcohol and unhealthy diet would come off but find that when I'm at work I'm continuously hungry, I think it's more to do with wanting to eat as a distraction when...
