I've always counted it as free. As I understand it, it's 'tweaking' when you change the intended use of a food in a way which would increase your consumption of it/reduce how filling it is etc. Fir example when you make 'crisps' from things, spuds/pasta, you (potentially!) eat more than you...

Anyone?

Hey Tom, Congrats on your losses so far, that's fantastic! I'm also a DIY at homer who does ee and the odd green day. I joined this forum for recipes too, there are some inventive people on here. Good luck getting to your target :)

I really want to make this but can't find chickpea Dahl anywhere. :cry: How did you get on with them in muffin cases lasereyes? I'd have said give them 20 minutes then check them with a cocktail stick/ skewer like you'd test a cake

Cool, as it makes so many it'd be nice if they kept a couple if days to do some work lunches!

Ahh ok, I drink my coffee plain black, cause I'm so exciting, haha

Hi all, I'm about to make some slimming world falafels from the website recipe. Just wondering if anyone had any idea on how long they'll keep for? Couple of days in the fridge do we think?

I thought coffee was free anyway? Well confused, or is it that the sachets of latte type coffee are syned and normal coffee is free?

I work in an old school country pub, so understand the surrounded by crisps and chocolate, I find I pick one thing that's a few syns (normally a pack of quavers for me at 5.5) and then make myself wait a bit till I have it, and then make them last as long as possible. I find if you walk in...

I'm doing 2 different "30 day" challenges at the moment. I count those even though the time spent at the beginning doesn't add up to much, but I have active jobs so I don't obsess about it, but then I also don't go to class so don't have a consultant to answer to

Argh! I'm so frustrated at the moment, I live in Worcester, which I'm sure most of you realise is pretty flooded right now. I've been lucky in that where I live is high and dry, but over half my income comes from a pub which is several feet in the Severn right now. By this Monday I'll have lost...

*Meg* definitely better than a gain! You've done really well in such a short space of time, you'll get there, Hope this weeks kinder to you! Darcys Mummy, well done on your losses so far! Apparently a lot of people loose a lot of weight in their first week. As I understand it, it generally...

Hi guys I'm a DIY at home-r so no access to the online bits (and a search on here only showed me answers from about 4 years ago so might have changed) so I was wondering if you lovely people could help me out on 2 points; 1. What's the lowest syn margarine type spread out there? (Or the nicest...

I'm DIY at home, the OH went a few years ago and lost crazy amounts but it crept back on so he decided to start again and I joined in for moral support as much as anything. We've been using his old books and on here is great for recipe ideas. I really enjoy cooking and this has been great...

Hi guys, I'm new too, technically I started new year but I was seriously ill for a couple of weeks so didn't really start till about the same time as you, I've lost 9.5lbs so far. Are you going to groups or doing it from home? Congrats on your losses so far, good luck with the rest!

I'm sure it's been mentioned before but in asda their smartprice kiwis are £1.10, there's 10 in there too. For me this makes a nice change cause I can't afford to buy loads of fruit and that seems like good value

Oo, will definitely have to check out the image therapy bit, thanks Beautyxx Us both doing it certainly makes things easier Wegle, we're moving in together properly on the 3rd, so it'll be a SW household. Got massive respect from anyone who's doing it on their own when others in the house...

Wahey, 1.2kg off, or about 2.5 lbs in old money

Thought I'd jump on in here if people don't mind? I started on New Year's Day and as of last Tuesday had lost half a stone, making me 9st 6lbs but as I don't own a pair of scales I only get to weight myself at my OH parents when I go there Tuesday evenings, haha. Hopefully I'll have lost a bit...

Best thing to do I have a look on the 'whats for lunch?' thread, loads of ideas. Today I've got pasta salad (pasta, chicken, peppers, onions), sometimes I do a bachelors savoury rice, if time is low I just throw some boiled water over some cous cous and spices and lob whatever veg I have...

This sounds amazing, gonna have to give this a go later in the week, might make a good lunch box alternative to pasta salad

Since I just nearly ate my lunch before leaving for work, I thought I'd come share what I've got. Since I started SW at New Years I've been trying to come up with a pasta salad sauce that's nice cold, but will keep for 2 days, ruling out putting yoghurt in it for me. So, I've got chicken and...

Hi all, I started SW on New Year's Day mostly in support of my OH. He did SW a few years back, before we met, and lost 5 stone, but the weight has crept back on so he's back on the wagon and I've climbed on too! We're just doing it ourselves at home from his old books, so I've been lurking...

I have this issue too, I'm not exactly overweight, I just say no thanks, if I'm pushed then I tell people that I'm doing sw because my OH is and I'm supporting him (which is the truth). You could tell people something like you're watching what you eat as part of a fitness thing now your knee is...
