I am sure you can use them on induction hobs, I seem to remember seeing it on the packaging x

Mine is the bright red one and I paid £29.99 from asda JML section. still worth it though. I love the bright colours in them, I might but the smaller too as it will be a nice little size to make an omlette :)

Has anyone bought one of these new pans?? I bought one this week, admittedly I was a little sceptical but thought I would give it a go. It is honestly the best thing I have ever bought for cooking. You don't need to use a single spray of cooking oil and it is so easy to clean. I think this...

I have been to the grainger market and bought these before. I spent a fortune. I got burgers, sausages (which is half a syn for 3 sausages) and the mince. I have to say everything was really nice, ideal for a barbeque. My mam got the chicken burgers but we havent tried these yet. I would...

When I got married me and my husband stayed in a beautiful hotel on lake windamere. It is called Low Wood and we had a four poster bed with jacuzzi bath. When we arrived they had scattered red and yellow rose petals all over the room and bathroom. We had a view of the lake and we had champagne...

Does it have nice rich gravy? That is what I crave for when I am having veg. I am off there at lunchtime to grab a couple of tins. :)

Oh I love these. The only problem for me is stopping at just the one :p 8 syns is pretty good though.

I like the cracked black pepper ones in a pitta bread with E.L. Mayo and salad. Gorgeous hot or cold. Mmm

I am so very sorry to hear your sad news Donnie, I can only imagine how difficult a time it must be for you and your family. However bad things seem I hope you can take some comfort that your son is still alive and I am sure with everyones good wishes and his determination he will pull through...

Wow what a great tip. How many syns would you count for this and how much potato do you use.

I had one of these last night for my tea with new potatoes (baked in the oven) and a bag of steamed veg. OMG it is my favourite meal. The butter poured over the veg is gorgeous.

Fingers crossed for a good outcome Donnie. You and your family are in my thoughts. x

In our office at work a HUGE homemade chocolate cream cake with fruit and raspberry sticky stuff. It was about 10 inches deep but I resisted it, just. They were selling a slice for £1 to raise money for help 4 heroes. I still made a donation though, just didn't have any cake. It was really...

hi britmum i think this looks and sounds fab. Do you think I could make this in the slow cooker? I was also wondering why there is a syn in it (i'm new to extra easy and still trying to get my head around it) Thanks very much:)

I'm pleased Joe won but I also liked Olly. I thought Alexandra and JLS were absolutely brilliant last night. They knocked spots off most of the 'professionals' that have been on the show so far.

I tried one last week and it was really nice. The only down side was that there was only 3 bits of meat in it and one slice of mushroom. Still nice though cos I lurve pastry. I'm definatley a savoury kinda girl. In fact I might have the other one tonight with new potatoes and veg. I bought...

I tried the steak and mushroom pie last night. It was very nice, I had it with WW chips and veg. I have figured out how they have only got 6 and a half points. The blummin thing only had 3 bits of steak and one (yes one :eek:) slice of mushroom in it. I will definately have them again...

I completely agree with everyone about those two numb nuts from ireland. What is Louie thinking of. I do find it strange that he has the groups yet again. Perhaps it is because Louie only takes them to Ireland and the others get to go somewhere more exotic. Cheaper to take the groups to...

Well I went on Friday night with my daughters (9 and 7 years old) and was really looking forward to it. The kids were excited too. I even bought them fame t-shirts to wear. Well OMG I wish I hadn't bothered. The film was just awful. I really didn't enjoy it at all. I was prepared to get up...

Does anyone here watch extra factor with Holly Willoughby?? I think it's great. I love presentiators, another chance to see the lovely dermot if nothing else ;)

I love x factor too. I thought Daniel was absolutley fantastic (and very easy on the eye :drool:). I also thought young Joe from south shields was really good too. I'm looking forward to weekend tv again now. Its so funny how Simon calls Loui Lulu.:D

At first you will probaly have good weight losses but it will then even out to about 1-2 lbs per week which is still good. I also have about 6 stone to lose and I will be happy with 1-2 a week. I have now got my head around the fact that the weight will stay off better if it comes off slowly...

Well I did the dreaded deed this morning and I have put on 6lb :sigh:. It might not be that bad though because it is the totm this week becasue I took those tablets that delay your period and am feeling bloated so that may have contributed to the 6lb gain. Some people have also said it could...

Only 3lb in 2 weeks is fantastic. Well done. I only have to smell a bag of chips and I put 3lb on :D. I am sure my metabolism is all to pot. I have started the green tea today and hope that helps to speed it up a bit. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Aaleigha, your post really makes sense. Good luck on cutting out the processed foods. I must admit we use them because of convenience and lazyness really. Have you seen a difference in your weight loss?? I am a bugger for salt, I think I would really find that hard. I think I need to...

Well I am back from Benidorm and I feel bloated and I've got the holiday blues today. We went on an All inclusive holiday and I have just pigged out for a week. I am back on the diet today and am too scared to get on the scales just yet. Even thought there was plenty of salad options on...

I am loving the sound of the meringues with the chocolate mousse. Just so happens I will be passing a M&S today so I will put aside 3 points to dive into that tonight.

I have stayed the same this week. I am a bit disappointed because I have been really good all week but never mind I will stick at it. I am off to Benidorm next Saturday so I would love to lose that last pound to get my 7lbs before I go. Good luck to everyone else :)

The birds eye healthy options Beef Hotpot is really nice too. It is 5.5 points and I have it inside a giant yorkshire pudding from asda which is 4 points. Blummin lush meal for 9.5 points. You really think you are eating something you shouldn't be.

Thanks Vodaka. I have a spring in my step today and am now more determined to avoid the cake stall at the school fayre today :D

I am so pleased with myself this week after having a not so good weekend (diet wise) because I was on a hen night in newcastle on Saturday. So I decided to try extra hard through the week. I have been on the wii fit and have been drinking green tea every day and it has really paid off because...

I have stayed the same this week. I'm not too disappointed though because it is the TOTM. Hopefully next week will be better. Well done to everyone, there are some fantastic losses, it's a real inspiration.

How old are your kids? We have been to cornwall the past 2 years and the wet suits and body boards for little kids are fairly cheap to buy. I have even seen small wet suits in Home Bargains shops. So if you have one near you it might be worth checking it out. If your kids are older though...

Nilo I have only just read your thread and the similarities between you and myself are uncanny. I know how easy it is to bury your head in the sand about your weight and your debts. I was exactly the same and am pleased to say I am on the right track now for both. Admitting that there is a...

Well done lucysmommy and debs. They are both fantastic weight losses. Good luck to everyone else too.:)

Well I lost 2lb this morning. I am chuffed to bits with that. Good luck to everyone else.:)

Good luck with the weigh in. I also switched from slimming world to ww. I am loving it and find that I don't need to eat as much as I used to in slimming world. I find the choice so much better. I am sure you will really enjoy the variety when you get in the full swing of it. I also found...

Hi and welcome. I hope you get off to a good start. I also love your name but have to admit when I first saw it I thought is said recovering catholic. :o I thought to myself 'ooh I wonder what she has been up to then!' Clearly I need to go to specsavers.

Well today I am itchy and peeling.....a very sorry state indeed. On the plus side I have really been enjoying salads and pittas and haven't really felt the need for stodgy food. Mind you having said that tonight I am having a Birds Eye beef hotpot (5.5 points) and a giant yorkshire pudding...

I'm doing it for my kids. I want them to be proud of me and not ashamed. I want to be able to do stuff with them and not be out of breath. My husband has quit smoking and we are all trying to make an effort with the healthy eating and going outside for walks more. I also tore my cartilage in...

Great idea!! Am I too late to join in too?? I would like to lose 7lb before my holiday on 4th July. My weigh in day is a Friday.

Well here in durham the weather has been gorgeous. I always find I deal with my diet and food choices better when the weather is nice. I love salads and walking etc. Does anyone else find they get motivated when the weather is nice?? On the downside though, I resemble a lobster today...

:p:p:p:D

Oh 9.5 is not as bad as I thought, thanks. I didn't eat the full kebab because there was far too much meat so I would say I probably had about 10 points. I was expecting a kebab being about 30 points :eek: so maybe I can redeem myself after all.:(

Thanks guys. Am I right in thinking a pint of lager is 2 points and brandy is 1 point?? So for the drink alone I will have had 14 points. Does anyone know how much is in a large kebab? :( I think you are both right, I will see what the damage is and try and adjust my points as best I can for...

Thats fantastic. Keep it up :)

Yesterday, being the last bank holiday until August I went a bit crazy and had 6 pints of lager, 2 brandy and cokes and a large donner kebab. Should I even bother working out the points or just write off yesterday and start again today. I feel a bit bad about it now, and I am dreading the...

5lbs is fabulous hun. Keep it up :)

ha ha. Well it is the thought that counts I suppose. lol :D

Do you think it is cheating if you do sit ups on your bed. I have been doing this because doing them on the floor really hurts my back.

Sorry you are feeling down ((((HUGS)))). I think you should sit and nibble on a huge cucumber, seriously thats what I do, it is surprising how filling they are. It also doubles up as a good tool to knock someones block off when they are annoying you. I also love raw carrots. Have you tried...

Good luck Tracy. Cutting out those carbs has got to help. I have been cutting out my cups of tea as well and have been drinking more water. I also feel much better and am getting more excercise because I am always running to the blummin toilet :D

Mmmm mushrooms on toast. I never thought of that. Thats a good idea. Might have some tinned tomatoes with it too.

Yeah I know what you mean. I might try a different kind this week. I love special K as well.

Carbs are definatley my downfall. I just love bread and pasta. I have tried to cut down on bread, but it is so hard. It is so easy to eat the same stuff every week and in some cases the same day every week. It is a good idea to write everything down. I am thinking of doing a menu plan for...

Some of you might remember me asking advice last week about what everyone has for breakfast and if it helped with weight loss (because I wasn't really a breakfast person). My weight loss had just about stopped, so I took on board your advice and have had Weetabix this week for breakfast. Apart...

I could kiss you for posting this. I would never have thought a sandwich from here would be as little as 4 points. I love subway. I have now booked a day off work to go shopping to the metrocentre next week and I'll be having one for dinner.:D

Firstly congratulations on the birth of your little one:happy096: I really hope you don't take this the wrong way but is it not too early for you to be thinking about losing weight? I know that we all think about it after giving birth and we all get eager to lose the excess weight but you...

Thanks that sounds really nice. I will have to give it a go this week. I will let you all know if my efforts have paid off next friday:)

Thanks Tracy. I am also at work through the week so I have my brekkie there too. Its hard because they don't have a microwave or toaster. So maybe cereal would be the best option for me. I like the sound of a bagel too, I've never really thought of having them for breakfast.

Hi everyone, I am really struggling with the weight loss at the moment and I think it is because I don't have much of a breakfast (if any some days). I have been looking at ways to boost my metabolism and apart from doing exercise (which I am every night) it was mentioned that I should start...

Good Luck dizzy. I am fairly new to WW aswell after following slimming world (on and mostly off:rolleyes:) for 10 years. I am loving the plan so far. I am not losing weight as quickly as I did with SW but I have heard that this is better in the long run and I do feel healthier already. x

Oh I completely agree with you they are lush. They are so light aswell. I've also got the dough balls to try. The only problem I have is stopping myself putting the whole packet in the oven instead of just half.

Thanks guys. When you look at it like that (9lbs) in 2 weeks I suppose it is really good. I just got a shock. I feel a bit daft now for getting upset. I think I might measure myself and hopefully will start to see a loss in inches soon.

I bought myself an exercise bike 2 weeks ago and have done 6 miles every day since. Last week I lost a brilliant 8 lb and this week I have only just lost 1lb. I really thought I would have lost more because I have also been on the wii fit aswell. I know I shouldn't feel sad because of my...

Aawww that is just as bad as my fire extinguisher. Poor you. I bet you were gutted.

I never thought of freezing grapes. Cool idea (see what I did there :D). I tend not to buy grapes because they don't last long but I am gonna get me some this weekend and freeze them. Thanks for the tip:)

Thought it might be a good idea for us all to post our best and worst christmas presents. You might get some ideas from it at least !! My best ever present was a Radley Bag from my mam last year and the worst ever present was a small fire extinguisher.............yes you read it right. Why...

Don't drink water, fish wee in it :D

This is the funniest thread ever. I really have had a good laugh reading through it. Rainbow, you will have a great night in Newcastle. I live about 10 miles away and used to go every weekend. There is loads of hens and stags every weekend. Some clubs will let hen groups in for free if you...

I have just bought a tub of Skinny Cow mint hot chocolate in asda. It is on special for £1.50. I tried it in store and it is really nice and under 40 cals per cup. Mmm Mmm. Much better than the options hot chocolate, in my opinion. I am hoping it will be about 2 syns per cup. Does anyone...

Seeing as though it is a special anniversary I would have a night off. One nice meal and a few glasses of wine are not going to do too much damage. You can be good again tomorrow.

Mmm Mandarin muller light with a ginger biscuit crumbled on top. I might have to give that a go this weekend.

I like your way of thinking:D I prefer the bean juice to the actual beans.

Ahh I am sorry to hear that. It is a very difficult time to diet for you anybody can understand that. Please don't be dissappointed with yourself. You need to be in the right frame of mind, and I think you just need a little time. Your dad would be proud of you whether or not you lose weight.

I would never lie on an application form. Where I work they do check up on sick days and references and people have been offered jobs in the past and then when the references come in saying their sickness levels were higher than they said, they retract the job offer. I would rather be honest...

Chinese five spices. It tastes a bit like char sui for the chinese. Blummin lush it is.

I find that those pro-biotic yoghurts make me a bit windy and my stomache makes the weirdest noises.

Friday mornings for me. Then I use all of my sins at the weekend and have the rest of the week to put it right. It works well for me.

Congratulations, thats amazing.

I have lost 2lb this week and have reached my target. Yipppeeeee. However its a long weekend off the diet this weekend so I see a plus next week. rainbow brite: 10lbs - 0lbs off - 10lbs to go! tara 66 : 18lbs - 11lbs off - 7lbs to go! emmalauren8 : 16lbs - 8lbs off - 8lbs to go! Austineer...

Thanks space angel. That is good news for me. Nicki the bags are the same size as a bag of crisps but they seem to last much longer than crisps. Maybe thats because I suck the flavour off before I crunch them :D

WOW that sounds lush. I am gonna have to give that a try.

Rivita Limbos I have just tried some smokey bacon limbos and they are really quite nice. Does anyone know how many syns are in them?? I am hoping there are not many in them as there is only 63 Kals and0.1 Sat Fat in them.

Excellent point. Now I won't feel guilty. I can't wait for the weekend.

It is my birthday next week and I am planning on being off the diet for about 4 days. I was just wondering whether anyone sticks to their diet on their birthday or do you treat yourself?? I am looking forward to it but by the end of the 4 days I am sure I will feel as guilty as sin.

So by the time I spit out the coffee ones they might be about 6 sins ;) I love crunchies the best, and maltesers, and wispas and bountys and fudges and double deckers and minstrels and milky ways and milky bars.......think I had better shut up now:p

I usually use all of mine on a friday and saturday. I get weighed on a friday so I always have a crunchie and a bag of crisps. Then I always have a bottle of vino on a saturday night. I will then have a couple of bags of walkers lights through the week and then all of my sins are spent. I...

My SW consultant always told us to limit yourself to 10 per week. I always watch how many I am eating, but I am not a big lover of them to be honest.

Hi Beki I really wouldn't worry too much about her weight at her age. You will find that before she starts puberty she will have a growth spurt and will lose a fair bit of her weight anyway. I think the most important this is that she is active and gets plenty of exerise, and it sounds as if...

Another 3lb off today. Yippeee only 1lb to go for target. rainbow brite: 10lbs - 0lbs off - 10lbs to go! tara 66 : 18lbs - 8lbs off - 10lbs to go! emmalauren8 : 16lbs - 0lbs off - 16lbs to go! Austineer: 8lbs - 0lbs off - 8lbs to go Angie 44: 14lbs -0lbs off - 14lbs to go Farwin: 10lbs - 2lbs...

Ahh I am pleased everything is ok. When things like that happen all rational explanations go out of the window. There is nothing wrong with worrying, at least it shows you care. I always say the time to worry is when no one worries.

Didn't all saints do a song called booty call.....unless I have picked up the words wrong, which wouldn't be the first time:D

Yeah it will be fine. Although it will still be a tomatoey kind of carbonara. It will still be lush. Go for it Rainbow. I am sure you will enjoy it.

No loss for me this week I'm afraid. I have tried really hard aswell. Bugger.:cry:

Errr I have no idea chuck. I just made it up. Have you heard of it before??

How about Beauty Call

I am following the old plan as that is what I am used to. I have been eating corned beef and I have lost 3lbs for the last 3 weeks. I think you should try it and see how you go. I think if you were going to have it several times a week it might make a difference but if its only now and again...

I have also posted this in the recipes thread. It is a great dish on a cold winters night.....or any night for that matter. Spicy Carbonara 1 tin of Morrisons rigatoni carbonara (11 sins on green) extra pasta (however much you want) mushrooms pepper sweetcorn jalapeno peppers tomato purree...

Spicy Carbonara 1 tin of Morrisons rigatoni carbonara (11 sins on green) extra pasta (however much you want) mushrooms pepper sweetcorn jalapeno peppers tomato purree Cheese of you choice from HEX (i use parmesan) I have this dish every saturday night and I look forward to it all week. It is...

Ooh yeah that sounds fab please post it.

I'm from County Durham.:)

I only get weighed on a friday because it can easily take over your life. The funniest thing is I get weighed at work in our store cupboard and one day someone walked in on our Boss who was stood on the scales with only her knickers, bra and tights on. How embarressing for both people. I do...

rainbow brite: 10lbs - 0lbs off - 10lbs to go! tara 66 : 18lbs - 0lbs off - 18lbs to go! emmalauren8 : 16lbs - 0lbs off - 16lbs to go! Austineer: 8lbs - 0lbs off - 8lbs to go Angie 44: 14lbs -0lbs off - 14lbs to go Farwin: 10lbs - 0lbs off - 10lbs to go Nina: 18lbs - 0lbs off - 18lbs to go...

I am doing the SW diet and hope to lose half a stone, bearing in mind it is my birthday on 28th Oct so if I can lose this by then I will be well chuffed. rainbow brite: 10lbs - 0lbs off - 10lbs to go! tara 66 : 18lbs - 0lbs off - 18lbs to go! emmalauren8 : 16lbs - 0lbs off - 16lbs to go...

I lost 6 stone and have put it all back on and more. Sadly it is easier to put on than lose. At first you are so pleased to get the weight off that you feel you can eat normally again. Then the weight creeps back on, then you just don't bother weighing yourself because if you don't it doesn't...

I am gonna have a week off the diet. I am gonna enjoy every minute aswell. I am especially looking forward to my big box of Ringtons chocolate brazils. I am not even gonna think about the syn value. Ohh I can't wait.

Oh bugger. Well I hope they release them again. I am always on the lookout and will let you know if I ever see any.

Does anyone know if Muller still make the chocolate muller lights. I used to love them but I can't seem to be able to find any anywhere. I used to buy the four pack. If they don't do them anymore is there anywhere else that make a similar yoghurt.??:)

On a red day I sometimes take tinned red salmon, cottage cheese and rivitas. It is surprising how filling it is, and tasty. I also take meat salads or maybe a fritata kind of thing with salad. If I am at home I also like corned beef mashed up with tomatoe puree and spread on brown bread and...

Thats fantastic. Well done. It seems you are a happy big chap. And if you keep going like that you will just be a happy chap:D

Completely agree Phishfood. When I lost all of my weight the first time I used to have a weekend off the diet every once in a while and eat whatever I wanted and it seemed to boost my metabolism. I don't know why but it has always worked. I would say have a treat, try not to worry and you...

Please can someone tell me how many syns are in a tin of Morrisons Rigatoni Carbonara.

Microwave bacon is lush. although not as nice as fried;). Even Marco Pierre White agrees that Microwave bacon is lush. So if its good enough for him its good for me. I had some last night in toasted bread with a laughing cow spread on and cucumber and cherry tomotoes. Mmm Mmm Mmm. You...

I'm from Stanley in County Durham. Another northerner to add to the collection.:p

Hi everyone Well I thought I would try and find some online inspiration to help me with what seems like my 100th diet. 10 years ago I lost 6 stone on the slimming world diet and even won slimmer of the year at my group. 10 years, 2 kids laters and having also packed in smoking I am heavier...

It is made by unilever and is the pot noodle brand, only rice instead. Thanks

Hi I'm new here and love the forum. Please could anyone tell me how many syns are in a curry pot rice.
