    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    I had exactly the same issue 2 week's ago when, after a charity shopping adventure with my man, he asked that I stop by the fish and chip shop. The smell in the car of the greasy goodness of his giant cod (oooh errr) and chips was nearly too much. BUT persevere and be strong!!!! On another...

    Slow cooked pulled pork?

    I'm just making this now and it's really hard to get off all the fat from the pork. I've gotten the main fat off but cannot be bothered to do this for the whole piece - it's too marbled! So going to use a different cut of pork next time. On the Facebook Slimming World Slow Cooker group...

    Stroop Waffels/ Syrup waffles syns please!!

    Thank you for your replies. Nothing is out of bounds but (I worked it out as 9.5 syns using 186/20) 8.5 or 9.5 syns - sort of pushes the boundaries ! I might chop them in half, or quarters even. I LOVE their syrupy goodness ;) xxx

    Hello! I just posted in the newbies section - I didn't see this section! I started sw from home last week. It's my first weigh in tomorrow. I'd this section for paying members who access Sw online or is it a mixture of those who are, like myself, going it alone too?? :-)
