Hi there, the apple and sultana benefit bar is only 2.5 suns :-D

Good morning :-) Food looks lovely but regarding the mince...the 20% fat version you probably had is 6.5 syns per 100gr raw! I know you think the fat has cooked out but most likely it was just water with a bit of fat in it...you can't make shortcuts like this, they will get you into serious...

Well food yesterday was really good except from the chicken kebab! Oh dear...seems i'm really struggling to get back into the sw way 100% But, i won't give up trying...this weight is coming off, no ifs or buts!!! Silja, yes i've seen the wafers, they are called knoppers and i've always loved...

I used to do ww as well ages ago, but in the end i couldn't stand being hungry anymore!! I know what you mean about being in the right frame of mind...mindset is this biggest issue with any healthy eating plan or diet! Regarding the books...the cheapest option would be to go to a group and sign...

Oh don't even think that way! We all get the one or the other week where we don't lose as much as we thought we should but it's the carrying on that will get us to goal!!!! Not sure if i understand all this correctly, but you've never had this diet explained to you through a group? Fair play to...

Hi silja That potato and egg salad is ready made from aldi. It's basically lettuce, tomato, cucumber and spring onion with a boiled salad potato and i hard boiled egg halved! I do make potato salad to go with dinner...just boiled potatoes sliced mixed with onions and then stock and vinegar...

So after 3 really good days yesterday was an absolute dive in the toilet! We went to a birthday party and to begin with everything was great. We left at 7:30 and I decided to have a pasta 'n' sauce at home because I was still hungry after staying away from the really bad temptations. So I had...

Oh i was mortified when i've seen a picture of me and my friend at the last wedding we went to...i thought i looked quite nice but OMG!!!! So never again!!!!!!!!!!! That's a shame about the aldi yoghurts...i only ever have the raspberry and cranberry of the muller style ones and that's 1.5 i...

Hi there are greek style fat free yoghurts @ aldi that are either syn free or 0.5 syns per 125g pot...that's if you prefer thicker yoghurts...or the shape yoghurts are really nice as well and they are syn free if you don't like aldi or don't have one close by...aldi also do a low syn version of...

Holiday

Hi there...just been looking at your food and overall it looks fine but i noticed, and i'm sure you'll be happy about that, that you've been cheating yourself out of 7g of bran flakes. You are allowed 35g for your hex b :-D Good luck with your weigh in on monday :-)

I'm all with you on that one! Sw is probably the best eating plan for fussy eaters!

Hi there...what exactly don't you like? Maybe the old red and green days will be better for you? Maybe you'll be able to find the old books on ebay?

Yes, getting back on plan is REALLY difficult!! But i managed well today and i think i'm getting there. Sugar headaches are starting to subside!! No, it's not lactose intolerance as i can eat / drink as much fat free dairy products as i want but I can't digest dairy fat...cream and cheese are...

Still haven't used mine...aaarrrggghhhh...maybe tonight??? I'm just such a lazy COW!!

Had the ice cream sandwich yesterday taking my syns to 5.5 Unfortunately i never managed to have the rest of my hexs, oops! Today is weigh in day and as expected a lovely gain of.....3 pounds!!! Little shocked but no need to cry over spilt milk...big massive fat line under it! I had such a...

Just remembered...i have had 1 benefit bar (1/2 hexb) as an afternoon snack and 15g of parmesan (1/2 hexa)

Sorry that i haven't been on but my friends only left on sunday and since then i've been playing catch up with housework! And work has been quite stressful as well, so i've been really tired the last couple of days!!! Last thursday weigh in was a super surprising SS (still really happy about...

Hi becca Welcome to slimming world and welcome to minimins!!!! Regarding your question...i try to opt for speed food as snacks but a lot if the times my snacks are "only" free foods. The 1/3 of speed is there to reduce the overall amount of calories on your plate and to keep you fuller for...

Thank you all so much!!! Feeling better today! Have made good food choices so far! Will put my food on later today! I think i might be a bit stressed as my friend from germany and her bf are arriving on friday and as they haven't seen the new house yet i'm on super spring clean duty! Also...

That's what i'll do...thank you x

Star week is just a curse, mine's been going on for the last 2 weeks!!!

How about I come round and help you eat them?? I think the best thing to do for me is to give in and get it out of my system! Probably the very worst thing to do but i'm just not strong enough right now!

I'm off the wagon today!!! Feeling so rubbish at the moment and i'm doing what i know best...eat junk to make me feel better! Does it work? Of course not!!! Does that stop me doing it? Of course not!!! Gonna clean the kitchen now, cook hubby's dinner and then it's an early night tonight to stop...

Well done, he's beautiful...and one very proud big brother!! Good choice on the name, my ds is also called james ;-)

Hope you didn't take it the wrong way when i suggested that! I am glad you starting to feel a bit better! I was really constipated when i started sw but that settled after 3 weeks or so! Let us know how you're getting on!

Lol, that made me chuckle...well worth it though!

Yeah, that and cherry i wouldn't need any other flavours!

Even better!!!! Gotta try and find the strawberry and peach ones now!!!!

Thank you sooooo much!!!!! I knew i can rely on you x

Can anyone help please???

I just asked myself the same question, lol

Yes you can...it's a bit stalkerish i suppose if you just follow but never tell them, lol

Here i am :-D Just hit subscribe rather than commenting...was quicker that way ;-)

Just subscribed to your diary! Sts is better than a gain but i know what you mean, it is disappointing when you've been on plan...i'm sure next week will show a good result though! Stick with it!

Just need to bump this...can anyone help?

I'll have a snoop and see if i can find you...good luck with your weigh in! Let me know how you get on!

Good luck!!!!

Hi hare...i know this is a bit personal but you're not pregnant??

Omg...how good are they!!! Hopefully one of you ladies / gents can help with the syn value :-D

I know what you mean...lots of ds chocolate has found it's way into my mouth since easter...not much left now! Problem is that ds doesn't really bother with chocolate he's more of a haribo child! Really need to get the hubby involved to shift this devils stuff!!! Have a lovely evening resisting...

Just wrote half an essay and now i deleted it all by accident, aaarrrggghhhh Oh well, just gotta write the lot again, lol Today was a great day! The whole weekend was great and really productive, even though i never got round to tidy ds room...kind of knew that wouldn't happen today, lol James...

Welcome binky, thanks for subscribing!

Yes, i'm feeling much better thank you! My boss is lovely, very understanding! Never thought i'd be loving our garden quite this much...it's truly feeling like it's ours now, only took a year, lol

Hello all...sorry i didn't get round to doing my food diary yesterday and to be honest there is no point...i was eating anything and everything lying around! Anything carby and fatty found it's way into my mouth!!! But, line under it!!! I feel soo much better today! I think it's got less to do...

Hi there...all i can help with is that it's always between 5 and 15 syns a day...they won't change with weight loss! I am german but to be honest i'd struggle doing sw in germany as sw is very much based on uk food...there is no syn calculator available other than online with subscription! So...

I'd go with the pasta...very likely it's only a bit of olive oil in the sauce...the salmon sounds a good idea but it's probably fried in oil or butter and the crust has got bread crumbs and bread is really high in syns

Get a shockabsorber bra...they make sure thelma and louise don't go awal...that's coming from a 40 FF :-D

All the best!

Is it the fat free vanilla that looks lind of like a muller light? That's 1 syn i believe!

Thank you claire! Getting there...30lb gone now!!! :-D

Thank you! I know 1 lb is great but just having a bit of a hatd time feeling rubbish in myself, but i'm working through it!!! The s&s pork is not like the one you can buy in the shop or get from the takeaway, it's almost a bit bbq flavoured but hubby and i love it! Ds is a fussy eater so won't...

Yesterday's food: B: 35g allbran (hexb) made with hot water S: brooklea vanilla yoghurt (1syn) and 2 mini toblerone (3syns) L: sw s&s pork with rice and stir fry veg S: banana, 5 slices of ham D: spaghetti bolognese with 30g of parmesan (hexa) and mixed salad (cucumber, tomatos and peppers)...

Weigh in day today...and as expected only 1 pound off! Need to get back on plan 100% But a loss is a loss and i'm in a happier mood today so i'm not too upset!

Thank you!!

Thanks claire! I will have a go tonight! Will have a cheeky bottle of becks as well! Checked the syns, it's only 6 :-D

Thank you so much for this!

Feeling soooo rubbish today!!!! Feel really fat and frumpy! Feel close to tears almost all the time! I don't have a cycle as i have the meriva coil and pcos so only come on 2 times a year but don't ever know when...so yes it might be that but that doesn't make it any better! Also my eating this...

Today's food was a bit unprepared and not a lot so it seems. I have been stuck in a meeting from 11am til 4pm with a short break for lunch. Breakfast: 35g bran flakes with hot water (hexb) 1 satsuma Lunch: Salad bowl (lettuce, spring onions, cucumber, tomatoes, potato and 1 hard boiled egg)...

Definitely need to get my a*** in gear...this thread is sooo motivating, thank you claire!!!!

What has this got to do with loose skin?

Yes, that's the one...i'm sure it's not even that hard to make the spice mix myself but it's just so easy for a lazy dinner! I haven't had sauerkraut in ages but found a tin yesterday and just had to have it today...it was yumyumyum :-D Haven't made it onto the trampoline today! Maybe...

Had a lovely day today...went shopping dragging my boys along...then spent the afternoon in the garden deadheading the daffodils, resulting in a huge bunch of flowers giving off the most wonderful scent in our living room!! I finally got the mini trampoline out of the lean-to and managed to...

Thank you..i am trying to keep food interesting...less because of me, i could have the same over and over, lol, but hubby is a super fussy eater and gets bored of things easily.

Really happy for you...everyone can tell you've got your head in the right place!!! Well done!!!

Is that for the whole pack made up as directed? Are the super pasta n sauce still free (except from a few exception) or have they messed with those as well?

You fry onions and mushrooms add minced beef like you would in a bolognese. Then add the stock and simmer. After it is simmered down to a bolognese sauce like consistency take off the heat and add the quark making sure the sauce is not boiling hot anymore. It gives the sauce a bit of a tang. The...

The aldi bramwells light french dressing is free and it's delicious!!

My hubby's german isn't great but still good enough for me not to be able to talk about him without him getting the gist of it, lol

Hi bubbly...i know exactly what you mean i find myself doing that a lot...i would love to be like my dh. He can leave food unless he's hungry and he can leave stuff on his plate once he's full...an absolute nightmare for me!!!

Just thought i'd post this pic as well...

Oh yay...been synning it 0.5 syns each...happy days!!

Sorry, forgot to mention...the syns are excluding the milk and butter!!!

Hi there...i'm quite sure the cheese and broccoli pasta 'n' sauce is 0.5 syns also the chicken and mushroom is free...the ham, cheese and leek one is 1 syn per pack which is still really good! I would use quark as well...but i am a huge lover of quark, not everyone is :-)

Hi everyone After years on minimins and months of extensive reading, snooping, pinching recipes and posting comments I thought it’s finally time to start a diary myself! I have shied away from it until now as I am not the most reliable person in regards to diaries. I never had one during my...

Hi there...i'm not weight watchers but wanted to welcome you to minimins...good luck for your weight loss journey!!

Food today sound lovely!

The aldi ones i have are 0.5 syn per sweet! Maybe check the calories on the box...20kcal = 1syn

Sounds like a good plan! The best of luck x

Lol...next weekly shop!

It's totally up to you...i used to go to group but have now decided to do it from home alone...i am not a group person and being weighed in front of other people didn't make me stick to food optimising any more or less! However, i have to say that to really understand slimming world you need to...

Couldn't find them today :-( having said that, our aldi seems to be out of a fair bit of stuff lately!

I'm waiting too, lol

I hope you're alright x

Yes they are...have a look at this thread!!! http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-healthy-extras/351400-kingsmill-thins.html

The 24g bar is 4.5 syns The 1 syn per 20kcals applies as no free food allowance enjoy!!!! :-D

I was wondering how maintaining is going to work...not that i am anywhere close ;-)

Oh rozie...i'm sooooo sorry for your loss...sending big hugs xxxx

It's because the cous cous is not being used ad it was intended , i.e. as a filling carbohydrate. I have to say there is a lot if debate going on about tweaks...i think if it's a main meal that is being tweaked and your weight loss doesn't suffer it's a clear go ahed from me...things like cous...

Really sorry, but that would be classed a tweak and the cous cous would need to be synned

And me, lol

Hi there...just wanted to welcome you to minimins and slimming world! Looking at your food just wanted to check if you have 1/3 speed with every meal! Good luck with your weight loss journey xx

So...weigh in this morning...let's just say the easter weekend has caught up with me with a 1lb gain Bis disappointed as i set myself up for a sts but seeing a gain for the first time since starting sw in january puts a bit of a dampener on my mood! BUT no time to mope...back to 100% sw (as i...

Sorry to hear that about your garden, cats can be a nuisance! this is the first time i'm trying to grow veg, hopefully i'll find my green fingers soon, lol I'm not a fan of rhubarb at all...in fact i just spent weeks clearing 20 square foot of rhubarb plants...couldn't believe the roots on...

I know this is not really diet related, but i had the best day today! Been on plan 100%...really easy as i've spent all day in the garden together with hubby and son! We have a huge garden and it's all prepared now to plant some fruit and veg! Gonna order my seeds / plants tonight...can't...

Well done on your fab loss...can't wait to get to that point in my weightloss journey...have you tried doing sp for a bit or success express from the old books? I've never done either but i have heard great things about both regarding jump start of weight loss!

Thought i'd have to "confess" my syns, not that i actually got any idea as to how many i did eat...let's just say more than 15, waaayyyyy more than 15 But...i had a hugely enjoyable easter sunday with my son and husband, spending time at home and in the garden! Back to 100% sw from...

I've been doing sw since feb 2013 and i still carry and check my books every day!

Glad it went alright...really happy for you!!!

Peas and beans except from french beans are not a speed food and can't count towards the 1/3...sorry!

That sounds like a perfect plan x

Yes...that's much better than 3 syns...thank you sooooo much...saved my day...ice cream sandwich here i come :-D

Oh yes please :-)

You were faster than me, well done x

Oops, sorry...threw the packaging out and it's not on the pots...i'll write it down when i go back to aldi on saturday...what a nightmare, lol

Subscribing!

Good luck for your exam...keeping you away from the donuts is only up to you, sorry...but...think how you will feel after having them! Did you really feel better after having them? And they won't change the result of your exam...stay positive and do the best you can! All the best xx

The top two are free it's the bottom 2 that we don't know...thank you

Rubbish...keep us updated once you find out...will finish the ones i've got synning them at 3 syns each and then go back to the free strawberry, lemon and coconut-vanilla...they are in the food directory as free...100% sure about that one!!!!

Maybe one of you lovely ladies can ask a consultant or phone the slimming world helpline? I am doing sw from home alone so can't ask anybody except from on here xx

Hi there, sure you replied to my other thread about the aldi fat free greek style yoghurts, lol

Maybe you can check on the threads i've started xx

Hi there...i asked this question in another thread and was told the new cherry and toffee flavour as well as the old are free! And they are yummy!!! Not sure about the peach and honey...but dubious because of the honey!

Well done!!!! Soooo happy for you!!! You are ace!!!!!!

I agree, that's i thought as well! Make sure you also measure your hex a and b to the gram...a little bit here and there and then a couple of syns over a day adds up to round about 28 syns a week extra!

Good luck with your weight loss journey...slimming world is most definitely the right choice x

I always make them with the skinny latte muellerlight and then top them with fruit, oranges mostly...squashing them a bit so the juice runs into pancakes...but maybe i'm just a bit weird, that's what dh keeps telling me, lol

I think magic pancakes is the way to go for me! Will have a play round with that...might make it into a waffle using plain ff yoghurt and carrots! Will have a go on the weekend!

2 lb off...super happy...another 1lb and i'll get the 2st sticker!!!! Roll on next week!!! As i only gave up coffee and fizzy drinks for lent i won't go mad over easter, also we haven't anything special planned so no reason to fall off the band wagon!!!

Oh no...don't know what to say! That's not quite true, i do know what to say but i don't think it's my place!!! i know what it's like being on your own though...i don't have any family anywhere close by and the few friends i've made are mums with a family and a busy schedule of their own, so if...

Oh dear lottie, you are having a sh1t day...i'm not on exante but just thought i'd send you a hug even though that won't help a lot! Stay strong...a smile from your little one will put everything back into prospective!

Hi newtum...hard to say why it's so slow...there is a couple of things jumping to mind 1. Are you eating enough...if you restrict your calorie intake too much your body will go into starvation mode...my old consultant always used to say "don't go hungry, the more you eat, the more you lose!" 2...

Oh good luck for thursday...sounds like you should have a good loss this week...i really want to lose 2lb but will probably be 1lb because of saturday...but it was worth it! Fingers crossed it's not a sts! Soup was slightly delayed but i finally got my a*** into gear and made a batch...

Well done jennjennx...keep up the good work!!!! I'm hoping for 2 pounds this week but think i'll get stuck with 1...oh well better than sts!!!

Welcome to minimins and sw!! I know how you feel about seeing the number on the scales...if you are like me, you probably haven't weighed yourself in a bit! But there is a positive to that (what you believe to be huge) number...it's the starting point to a great weight loss journey...a journey...

I got that one as well, a lot less cleaning the microwave, lol

Best news of the day!!! Thank you!

Amazon do them as well...they tend to be a bit cheaper on amazon than lakeland...the vent button is great much less messy than removing the lid!

Well worth the syns though...mmmmhhhh :-D

Good luck xx

Another little bump

There is plenty of us on here and also plenty of group members and online members...god sent when we're stuck for a syn value!

Sure you'll be fine...we all have days where life gets the better of us and let's be honest we all use food to make us feel better, that's why we're on here in the first place! I usually blame dh as it's "always" his fault at least in my view, lol ;-) We eat a lot of tacos but i cheat...i make...

Congratulations! Will you go to group or do it online or like me on your own?

Oh gotta look for them...been getting the warburtons brown ones for ds and when i fancied toast just had one of them and naughtily counted that as my hexb, oops

Lol

Apple before a meal is a really good idea!!! Never thought of that...probably as most the fruit we eat in our house is either grapes, bananas or oranges!

Yes it is...you just need to stick to the speed fruit, i.e. Not bananas, grapes, blueberries, etc...there is a huge list in your sw book...how about salads? I wasn't a huge veg person either but i learnt to like them! I have a lot of soup, especially for lunches...i batch cook them and then...

Hi mick...i find the less syns i eat, the less i lose...i tend to have round about 10 a day....syns are the things that tell your body that everything is fine and it doesn't need to go into starvation mode! I know what you mean with the addictive thing...just try to make the syns part of your...

Hi jennjenn...welcome to minimins and sw...how are you finding it so far? I love, love, love sw even though i've been struggling a bit for the last two weeks but still been losing so back to 100% sw from today!!! Just had a read through your diary...looks fine but i noticed not a lot of speed...

Just giving this a little bump :-D

Hi lovely ladies and gents Just finished my weekly shop at aldi and found new flavours of the fat free greek style yoghurt! I know the lemon, strawberry and coconut flavoured ones are free on EE but not sure about the new flavours. They've got cherry, toffee and peach&honey on the shelves now...

Thought i'd come on and commit officially to 100% sw no slips this week!!!!! Had a lovely night out, went for an indian (although probably had less syns than usual because it was a new place and the dansak i had was surely meant to be a vindaloo!!! I am not good with spicy food so left most the...

I keep thinking that! Had to guesstimate in tesco's the other day!! It was 7 propoints, lol!!

It's called cake in a mug...there is a video on you tube that explains it quite well...you need to make sure you mix it well because otherwise it's like scrambled egg with chocolate sprinkles, lol...i like mine with cherry shapes fat free yoghurt...mmmhhh might make that tonight for pudding :-D

It's the new 2015 food directory that only shows the ee values Just checked again, would really help if i could read...i looked at curry, not chilli...really sorry to the OP

Lol

Must have looked at the wrong ones in the food directory

That's funny i thought that as well the last time i tried the butterscotch, but bought them again yesterday and loooooove them!!! They used to do a coffee and cream but couldn't find them...think they might have been discontinued :-(

200gr pouch 2.5 syns 400gr can is 11 syns

I'm in (just not tomorrow night ;-) ) Thank you xx

Oh you poor thing! Would love to help you but there are no words to ease your fear and pain! Stay strong!!! Lots of Love xxxx

Weigh in day...1lb off!!! Weight loss is a bit slow at the moment! I'm struggling to be 100% committed. Don't know where this comes from as up until 2 weeks ago I might have had a bit of a blip once a month but over the last couple of weeks it's been about 5 times including one yesterday...

STS is still better than a gain! x

Oh poor soul...i'm feeling for you!!! I'm rubbish if i haven't had enough sleep! I hope you can have a nap later on and maybe catch up on your sleep a bit! You still feeling sick? Having said that, i always feel sick when i'm tired :-(

Enjoy!!!!

It's 1 syn per 100gr raw mince

If it is 5% fat of less then it's free...i.e. 5 gr of fat per 100 gr

Fab, thank you sooo much!!!

I there...anyone with access to the online syn calculator that can help me? I bought the sainsbury's microwavable steam bags mediterranean rice twinpack. The plan was to check the syns at home in the food directory but, shock horror, it's not listed!!! Nutritional info per 100g - per 190g bag...

Just checked in the 2015 food directory and it says 1 sweet 0.5 syns SORRY!!!

Hi if it is the 300g pack spicy chicken pasta snack salad, that's 6 syns! There is no way to work out the stns without the online syn calculator!

Yes they are :-D

Roasted bean mix is 9 syns for 50 grams

Just have to subscribe to this...gotta see the impossible made possible :-D

I can second that...usually once a month :-D

Here it goes, weigh in day! 1lb off :scale: Considering the lovely high calorie weekend I had:party0051: and *week I am more than pleased! 1st10lb gone forever so far!!!

Hi smithy13 and buntybobs I am doing sw ee from home...i used to go to classes and it does help as getting to grips with the diet is a bit of an undertaking, but sooo worth it! I have done sw on and off for the last 2 years but i'm completely committed this time round! The best thing about sw is...
