Looking into recipes and getting things set up for starting a Keto diet soon. Can someone recommend the best place to buy the test strips? Thanks.

Another 1lb off this week, but I had been bad and had a night out and some very not SW food. Surprised I still lost anything to be honest, but I'm not complaining!

Wore a shirt to work that I last wore over Christmas. I thought it fitted me fine back then but photos of the night tell a different story! Was really embarrassed when I saw them. It fits so much better today and I actually feel 'skinnier'. It's little things like this that are encouraging to...

Week 2 of SW. I have another 4lbs off, so that's 12lbs in 2 weeks. If I can lose 2lbs a week between now and the end of October for my birthday and a little holiday I have booked, I will have over 5 stone off, which would bring me to practically my target. This is my year! No more excuses, it's...

Loving this thread, practically everything looks amazing and I want to make them all, right now! Definitely bookmarked for using throughout the week! :D

I've just read the first few pages but already my mouth is watering! Some of these recipes sound amazing and I've quickly jotted some of them down to try next week as evening meals when I get home from work. Thanks for making this thread, it will be a big help for planning out some new meals for...

Sorry, I forgot to get on last night to post here, it was hectic in our house! I'm 4lbs down on my first week back on SW. I don't know why but I just woke up this morning feeling so much more happy and with a spring in my step. Long may it continue! Well done to all who lost/sts this week...

The new Mullerlight Raspberry and Chocolate ate fat free and 99 calories per pot. So I'm assuming these are syn free also? Because they are amazing! If a food is syn free, does that mean you can eat as much of it as you want a day, or is it only syn free if you have one a day? Sometimes I...

Gazter, as a bloke who has lost over 9st in 11 months (very well done, I'm so jealous!), what advice can you give for those who are finding i hard to stick to SW like myself. I absolutely love my food, but I'm a fussy eater so there's some things I just never eat because I don't like them. This...

So do I, especially seeing as I did go out on a good few occasions and drank a lot, and the afterwards takeaways that go with it, as well as plenty of junk food evenings on the sofa. At least now with the better weather and longer nights coming in, going out for a walk will be easier for me and...

After doing alright in January, I sort of fell off the wagon and spent most of February and all of March back to eating normally. On the bad side, that's a month and a half of slimming opportunities lost, but on the plus side I only weight the same as I did at the start of the year. I haven't...

Made this tonight as a treat after my tea. It was like brown scrambled egg and I didn't like the taste or consistency of it at all. I can see how people can use it for a treat, but it just wasn't for me at all. Shame!

I decided just to make something from scratch that used up some spices and herbs I had in the cupboard. Something similar to this may already exist, but I'm just listing what I had/did for reference in case it helps someone else. I imagine this would be nice as a snack, a quick lunch or if made...

Another bad-ish weekend didn't do as much harm as I thought, but only had 1lb off. I have had some distractions the last 2 weeks which has led to me being good all week and undone at the weekend by party food and alcohol, but they are out of the way now, so from now on it's 100% Slimming World...

Made the jalfrezi, it was quite nice, but I think even 3 chilli's was a little too much heat for me (I couldn't find the long ones so had to use the finger length ones!) I think in future I'll put less chilli in it but apart from that I enjoyed it and there's plenty left over for other days. I...

Thursdays "intake" Breakfast An apple (I slept in and was in a rush to work so it was all I could grab. Surprisingly I didn't feel hungry all morning and drank lots of water) Lunch WW Chicken Curry (3.5 syns) Couple of handfuls of grapes Mullerlight Tea Breaking Flab's Chicken...

I stayed the same this week. Kinda not surprised considering how bad I was on Sunday but then surprised it wasn't a gain. My good behaviour and eating habits the other 6 days of the week must have cancelled each other out. Ah well, I will have something off next week for definite!

Mmmm, my mouth is watering at the thought of it already! I think I'll make this for tomorrow night's tea! I am not sure if I would want all that chilli in it though, so instead of 4, could I use 3 instead and chop them up into small pieces to fry with the garlic at the start? I wouldn't...

Your jalfrezi sounds amazing, I would love to try it. Can you give me a brief rundown of the best way to cook everything etc. Thanks! The butternut squash soup sounds lovely too, I make mine with just the squash and carrotts and some chili flakes and thats it, but I'm gonna give yours a go as...

Comments welcome. I'm sure I may not be doing something right, or I'm not eating enough or too much of a particular food but this is typically what I will have most days to start off with now until I find new recipes or things to have instead. This is a typical menu but it vaires slightly by...

Made some of the SW beef ragu for tea last night and ended up having two bowls of it, it's delicious. There's plenty left over so that's lunch or tea sorted for tonight or tomorrow. Weigh in tonight, I'm kind of dreading it as I ended up going away for the day on Sunday with a few mates...

Phew! Glad to know it's free! Yeah, I love Cajun flavour myself. There used to be a brand of crisps in Ireland that were cajun chicken flavour. They were amazing but are sadly discontinued, probably for the best, I got them a lot! Yeah, I could make my own some time, it would probably work out...

Oh, also, I found some WW Caramel Crunch desserts in the freezer from ages ago. Anyone know the syn value of those? I think the packet said they were 2.5g fat per dessert and 270 calories each or something. Might be nice for a treat after Sunday lunch this weekend. :)

My tipple of choice is Captain Morgan with Coke Zero (I hate the taste of Diet Coke). So, that's only 4 syns, right? I have a friends 30th to go to next month and I think that week I will save up my syns to use them on that night out. I know it's going to be a big night and plenty of drink...

Our local Sainsbury's has an offer on for 10 Mullerlight's for £3. So, I lifted a tray of the orange and chocolate sprinkles ones and dumped them into the basket! No more left for anyone else, but at least for the next week I will have these gorgeous yoghurts! I never knew this flavour even...

I bought a Schwartz Perfect Shake Cajun seasoning that says it was ideal for adding to things like beans or over wedges or even over chicken, which is what I have done for tonight's tea. Chicken breast marinated (no oil) with this powder over it for a few hours with some SW wedges and corn on...

If you really want something like that, cook your own chicken breast with two bacon medallions wrapped around it and syn some cheese to put inside. Would probably work out tastier and less syns than a store bought alternative. In face, you've given me an idea for tomorrow nights tea...! :D

I was wondering if anyone knew the up to date syn value of the WW Chicken Curry? I love these and they are down to £1 each in our local shop so if they were low syn, I wouldn't mind getting some as handy lunches I can microwave at work. I struggle most days to think of ways to use my syns so if...

After a bad weekend and feeling fatter than ever, reading through this thread has inspired me and made me determined to stick at SW and be able to come on here some day this year and post my before and after pics. I want to lose 6 stone (or as much as possible) for my 30th birthday at the end of...

My first week back on Slimming World and glad to see that I lost 5lbs and I didn't even stick to the plan rigidly. I hope I can maintain a few lbs a week loss, I would like to have as much as possible off by the summer!

Well, it was alright! Nothing special though, but I think that might be because I made it with a toffee yog. I have the vanilla one with chocolate bits so I might try it in the morning. Also, I wasn't too fussed on the texture of it, when I was making the first one last night I tried a little...

Ha, I just read the original post and made this with 28g of porridge oats, I'll go down and add some more to it now as I was thinking that 28g was a little small! I see there's also a bowl of fruit salad in the fridge, I'll be adding some of that to the concoction in the morning as well I...

Weighed myself there now so will use Wednesday night as my weigh in night. :)

Sorry for not updating this earlier. I sort of stopped going for a while and have started back up again. We all fall down, it's getting back up that's important! Have my 30th birthday next year (my 29th is in a few weeks!) and a holiday planned for next summer. I don't want to be looking back...

I seem to be mostly eating the same things most days but am looking through this thread and some others for inspiration for something nice to have for my lunch instead of relying on Mugshots and having Weetabix for breakfast! Also need to find ideas for snacks to have during the day that aren't...

I made a spag bol with quorn mince, passata, onions, mushrooms and plenty of herbs with some wholewheat spaghetti. Divine and I have frozen the sauce so I can have it again when I fancy something quick and very tasty.

Went to my first weight in after starting last monday. Can't believe it. I have 9lbs off in my first week! I even cheated a few times, but mainly stuck to the diet. So happy, I know I'm not gonna have that off every week, but what an encouraging way to start!

I may just get my friend to sneak in a few cans of Coke Zero so all I have to buy is the vodka! I could even sneak some vodka in too come to think of it, it'll be a very cheap night! I think I'm going to make double quantities of my pasta sauce so I can freeze what I don't use and have during...

Which noodles do you use for this, it looks lovely? Any noodles I have tried before were either too chewy or too watery, even after draining them for a few minutes before using. Yours look perfect! Apart from the chicken and peppers, did you use any spices or sauces in this?

Hi all. Just joined the forums today and started SW on Tuesday past there. My starting weight was 18st exactly so hopefully by now I'm already in the 17 zone but I thought as I started at 18 it's only fair! Have my first weigh in on Monday night so fingers crossed my hard work this week has paid...

My HexA and HexB are the Weetabix and semi-skimmed milk I have for breakfast every morning so anything else has to be synned! I have filled out my food diary sheets that came in the welcome pack and I input them on the Slimming World website's own Food Diary in the members section too. Trying to...

I started on Tuesday after going to a meeting on Monday night. I wasn't even aware but one of my neighbours who lives down the road runs the local meeting so I feel like I have a pair of eyes watching me so I have to be good! I have been eating as suggested all week but haven't really been...
