Here are Tescos: Light Mayonnaise , 1 level tbsp 2 2 2 Lighter Than Light Mayonnaise , 1 level tbsp ½ ½ ½

The quorn ones are good if you are using them in a casserole or something because you can't taste the difference. I often will batch make chilli con carne/spaghetti bolognaise so I can leave in the fridge/freezer in portions for a quick meal. I usually use one pack of extra lean mince and 1...

All sounds good! it depends of whether you are using light mayo or lighter than light mayo. below is hellmanns syns: Real Mayonnaise , 1 level tbsp 5½ 5½ 5½ Light Reduced Calorie Mayonnaise , 1 level tbsp 2 2...

Diet fizzy drinks (the ones that contain around 1-3 cals per can) are free i.e. pepsi max, diet tango, coke zero, diet lemonade 'No added sugar' cordials are generally free (there are few to the exceptions but you would have to check individual ones - you should be able to recognise them if...

A pleasure - 9 syns for 2 (4.5 a sausage) whenever you buy some more I would recommend getting one of the below: Butchers Choice Half Fat Pork Sausages, chilled 8 pack, 57g each - 2 syns each (from most supermarkets) Chosen by You Butchers Choice Lincolnshire Sausages, frozen 12 pack, 50g...

Good point Abi! SW recommend that you fill a 1/3 of your plate with superfree foods (most fresh/frozen fruit and veg apply) so it would be recommended to have lots of mushrooms/tomatoes with this or have some grapes afterwards. This will keep you fuller for longer and therefore you will eat...

oh and Pepsi Max all the way!! (however I drink waaay too much of it)

Hi Ali - I've sent you an email! Yeah things are good with me. I'm back on SW again (new year) after many years of eating pizza! but I have previously done the plan and lost around 6 stone in 7 months (I'm an all or nothing kind of person)! so I'm finding it easy to pick back up How about...

Hi there, that's correct - 4 aldi savour bakes rye crispbreads are a HEXB (you can only have 3 of the sesame seed ones) wafer ham is free so you can have an unlimited amount of ham (same with egg) Hope your first class goes well! x

I couldn't find on the SW website but according to the syns calculator the whole pack is 52.5 syns (around 4.5 syns per sausage) the 20 cal per syn only works on food that contains no free food. free foods are veg, fruit, lean meats, potato's, pasta, rice, eggs etc. So extra lean pork mince...

Hope all is going well! if you want to give me your email address I can send you some information on the plan with a list of all the healthy extra's until you get your books :)

No worries! Slimming World takes a few weeks to get your head around...however as long as you persevere you will find it is the best lifestyle plan to follow as in time you rarely have to think about what you are eating, measuring every little thing or carrying multiple books around like other...

The best I can offer is to whisk up a tub of quark, add in some fromage frais (whisk more) and then add in a couple of beaten eggs and whisk until smooth. ultimately you will need to use your A option (or 6 syns) and grate in 40g of reduced fat cheddar to give it a cheesy taste

I'll have to dig out a list I made of lunches from supermarkets, when I do, I will send it you but in summary: Sainsburys do a sweet chilli sweet noodle salad with a lime and chilli sauce which is 5.5syns and most of the sushi packs (veg, duck, chicken and fish) are 1-2 syns a pack most cooked...

No - if it has 10 cals it is 1/2 a syn. i.e. Hartleys sugar free jelly tubs are around 7 cals each so they are 1/2 a syn, but most things under 20 cals are probably a free food. Do you have something in particular that is under 20 cals?

Hi there, good news! - it free: Greek Style Yogurt Natural, Fat Free , per 100g Free do you need any other values? x

Hi all. Just a tip - as most of you know - if a food has no free food in, the guide is 1 syn per 20cals This is the same with drinks...just round up/down within reason (if something is 52 cals and you count it as 2.5 syns, if you then drink 10 of them - add 1 syn to your total to make up for...

Hiya Don't worry it will happen :) Only weigh yourself once a week at the same time with the scales in the same place. Through out the week fluid plays a big part in not being able to see but if you weigh at the same time its fair game. If you're sticking to the plan then it will come off...
