Exactly how I am! It's kind of normal to me now as been like it since I can remember but it seems to bother other people more than me! Especially my husband! Even though we've been together nearly 10 years it still frustrates him! He will eat ANYTHING!! Haha!

When I remember I take a daily womens health vitamin but I haven't eaten veg from when I was about 18months old!! I've seen a dietitian and she said that with what I eat I'm fine to carry on the way I am! Obviously keep trying veggies but I just can't. Have a massive phobia against the taste and...

I haven't touched any vegetables throughout my SW journey so far and have lost 2.5st since feb! It has slowed up recently but I haven't been as strict or eating as much SF as I know I should but will get back on it asap!! If I can get this far with no veggies you'll be fine!!! :-) Good Luck! xx

For totally free pancake's - 3 eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract and cinnamon if you like it. Separate the egg whites and yolks, whisk the whites with some sweetener till there fluffy, mix the yolks with a bit more sweetener, vanilla extract and cinnamon, fold the yolks into the whites and there...

We've all been there!? Now if there's something I really fancy (chocolate/crisps) then I'll have it otherwise after a few days of really wanting something I'll go overboard and eat everything in site? I say to myself I'm in this for the long run so if I lose 1/2lb this week because I've eaten...

My friend went from the Cambridge diet to SW and has managed to keep the wight off and loose another stone on top so think positive! Your body will take some time to adjust but stick with it and you'll see results!! :-)

I started on EE but realised I was more or less following Green so switched and started having 2 He A & B's and hasn't done me any damage! Weight loss is averaging out at the same as when I was following EE and I now find SW even easier being able to have 2 HeX's :-D

I've got an even better pancake recipe which is free as it's only eggs! :-D Think I may even prefer these to the magic oaty pancakes! Ingredients (makes 2 pancakes) 6 tbsp sweetener 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 egg Fry Light Instructions Separate the egg yolk and egg white into separate...

After reading this post and hearing about Gingerbread green tea I went on a mission this weekend to find it and YUM!!! It's amazing haha! I love the salted caramel bars from class so might try the salted caramel green tea next week ;)

I'm exactly the same but I love fruit and hate salad and veg!? I've paid a similar amount to see a hypnotist and even went back to see him a 2nd time and still nothing! I just eat fruit as my superfree and somedays I know I haven't really eaten enough or whats recommended but in the past 3...

Keep going, he'll soon realize it's a good and positive thing your doing! xx

Thanks for all your kind words and support! The past week or so he's been alot better and I think he can see that I'm happier now, so here's to reaching a few more milestones and my goal :)

Was very excited this morning when I got into my size smaller new jeans I bought a few weeks ago! Then when told my husband he was really un-supportive and not really fussed? This really pissed me off and upset me which then lead to us having an argument about it? Pathetic I know!! I would of...

Just as easy to make your own syn free ;-) I've got loads of spices I use to make different chips/wedges/roasties!

I realised after 3 weeks of EE that I was more or less following Green but without the extra healthy A&B! So switched and I found it a lot easier being able to have 2 HeB's :) But that's what I love about SW is you can change day by day to suit you!!

I used to go to WW and now am SW, I found when WW changed to pro points I just felt hungry all the time? So joined SW back at the start of feb and I've not looked back! The first class felt weird as its different to WW but now I'm getting really into it and am enjoying it! Every class is...

Yes join, I find it so easy and never feel hungry! Also if I can loose 1stone in 5 weeks then anyone can do it as I'm a mega fussy eater!? LOL

I've done Weight Watchers in the past so going to a SW meeting I found very different but I love going to group! Our consultant goes round the group and discusses what people have lost/gained etc and how they've done it but I personally find it inspiring. We all discuss recipes and things online...

I love Mikado's too! I slide some grapes and strawberries on them to make them like little fruit kebabs!:eat: I used to love a pot of micro noodles till I found out there 24.5 syns :faint2::faint2: to think I would then team this with a few fat slices of bread and butter??!?!? They've all been...

I :heartpump::heartpump: baking cakes but haven't made any since starting SW just over a month ago!? Be strong and resist! Good luck LOL

I've been making a fruit salad of Strawberries, raspberries, grapes, cherries and a kiwi and I eat that while I wait for my mug shot to brew! :)

I don't think you need to join a gym, just go for a walk and use the stairs rather than a lift when you can! Some people in my class use there syns mainly on snacks or alcohol and they don't seem to loose as well as the people who use syns within meals? Everyone is different! 1lb a week is more...

Well done!! I just eat as I normally would any other day, I don't get weighed till 7.30 so once Ive stayed to class I don't get home till gone 9? I think if your following the plan properly its not going to matter too much if you eat dinner or wear lighter clothes? I went to WW a few years back...

2.5lb off for me :D only need 1.5lb next week to get my 1st :cross: Well done everyone!!:0clapper:

I agree, I'm a big comfort eater and now I'm trying to swap it for something else! I try to go for a walk, even if its just round the block but normally by the time I'm back I feel a lot better, or I'll have a mullerlight one with choc in ;-) Good luck, its tough but we gotta do this for...

I think it's the eggs which stick them together? Somehow I don't think it'll work? Try it if your that keen though :-D

I'm a fussy eater and a carbaholic and only ever done WW before so was completely open to the world of SW! I started on EE and over the past 3 weeks have lost an amazing 10lb :D As I hardly eat any meat I thought I would give Green a go and I've actually found it easier as I can have 2 He A's &...

-2lb tonight :) -10lb in 3 weeks!! Well done everyone xx

I like the oat pancakes so I'll be having those :) I do blend mine though so the texture is more like 'normal' pancakes!! ;)

If I have sugar I syn it but I try and use sweetner where I can! When I first started I worked out syns for things I would normally eat in a day and I was totally shocked! Made me realise I needed to change for good!! I'm not going back there lol!

Just got a nice large water!! Hoping my brain will soon realise I'm full haha! Have got an emergency bag of French fries in my cupboard and at only 4 syns there ok lol!!

I've eaten all my fruit and my bag of popcorn, my HeB's (saving my A for dinner) and my mug shot for lunch but want anything and everything ?! Luckily there's no biscuits/cakes in work today like there normally is? Think it's because I'm bored? Anyone else have this problem? How do you...

I sprinkle mine with a bit of salt after patted them dry a bit before putting them in the microwave, never needed to use spraylight :-D

Hi, heres the syn info :-) Olive Spread, Light , 1 level tsp 1 Olive Spread, Light , 1 level tbsp 2½

I just haven't told anyone apart from my hubby and a couple of best friends! My family are supportive enough but sometimes a bit too much and constantly ask about it and say 'ooohh should you be eating that' so until they notice my weight loss I'm not going to mention it haha

2.5lb off, first half stone gone and first slimmer of the week :-D Good motivation tonight!

Good luck! :fingerscrossed:

:talk017: I can't wait to start noticing clothes feeling loose and fitting into my old favourites!! Well Done! It's good motivation!!!

There are 3 low fat ones which I can find but there not great tasting in my opinion! I love the BBQ Beef ones so wish they would do a low fat version of those!! Lol!!

I would love to know this too!! I can just about eat the chilli chicken ones but the thai sweet chilli are horrible!? :cry: I know dried noodles are free but that's plain? Wonder what seasoning you could use to make your own 'super noodles'?

I really like them, if your a crisp lover then there worth the hassle and 4 syns!! :)

Just wondered if they work and if these ingredients are all the same if you've done them before?

Ive got an electric oven and I put them in at 180 for about 12-15 mins! Delicious :-D

Hi all, anyone ever made weetabix muffins? Recipe ive found is - 2 crushed weetabix (HeB) 2 eggs beaten, 1/2 pot muller light, sweetener and vanilla extract. says to mix everything and pour into 2/4 cake cases then bake for 25mins at 180c any advice on these will be much appreciated thanks. :-)

:welcome: A loss is a loss no matter how big or small! Well done!

Oh OK :-( Thanks though! Before I go an snacking in these too often! Lol!! My leader is only new ad am I so I'll let her off ;-)xx

:talk017: Well done on your weight loss!!

Need to know the calories, protein, carbs and fat and I'll tell you :-)

My SW leader says there are free! :party0011: Potato is free on EE and it's no different really to snacking on SW chips! Not like I'm eating 100 at a time!

Morning! I baked mine in the oven this morning in little cake pans with the intention on taking them to work but they smelt so good I ate them before work!! Hehe! Least they all cook at the same time :)

Trust me they really do go crispy without any fat in the microwave!! Tried to put them on a plate but they stuck to the plate?! But in this stand there fine :-D I'm going to ask my SW leader see if she knows!! x

Hi Jo :welcome2: I only started last week and have found this forum very helpful :party0011: Have a good read through the posts as theres so much useful stuff in them! Good luck!

Yeah they are really nice :p I found that Weetabix & milk wasn't filling me up enough so would rather use my HE on something else and have a free brekkie like muller light & a banana! xx

I use mine as snacks most of the time, mini baybel lights I'm a little addicted too at the mo haha, also alpen light bars, I like most of them but the cherry bakewell is amazing! Hope this helps! And thanks I'm looking forward to dieting which is weird haha!!

Tesco multi-pack popcorn is fairly low, between 2.5 and 3.5 depending on what flavour. Curly Wurlys are only 6 and if you keep them in the fridge they take ages to eat/chew so makes you feel like you've had something bigger ;-) also I make fruit salads and snack on Muller lights as there both...

I've only been on the plan a week but soo many people have done really well with it, think you just need to stick to it. Make sure you have your HE's and I saw in a post somewhere that someone was struggling to lose more than 0.5lb a week so they increased there syns and lost more? No idea how...

It's such a good feeling to be 'dieting' but to feel full! I tried WW last year but just hated the new pro points as I felt hungry all the time?! Good luck!!!

Wow you've done well already! Well Done :) If me & my mega fussy eating habits can stick to SW then anyone can!! Also my leader says if you fancy something then have it (in moderation), the more you deprive yourself of something the more your likely to over indulge on everything in site...

Anyone else know if you can make sweet potato crisps syn free? Or if it's 100g uncooked potato for 4 syns once microwaved? Need some nice low savoury snacks ;-)

Well Done :party0049: I'm new too, lost 5.5 in my first week so hoping for another big loss this week!

There not going to taste as nice though? Have you tried them? If yes what's the best veg to 'crisp'? What about sweet potato? Or is it all potato?

:welcome: I only joined last week and like you have done WW but I hated the new pro point, always felt hungry but since joining SW last week I've not felt hungry at all! I did get to a point last week and worry I was eating too much but I stuck with the plan and lost 5.5lbs :) So stick with...

Yes but just the one slice! :)

Yes! It was my first weigh in last night and I was quite scared I hadn't lost anything? I'd stuck to plan the whole week so there was no reason I wouldn't of but I think it's only natural to worry!! Good luck :)

Ooooh Dorito style chips, tell me more lol

Ah ok, well there going to be better for you than 'walkers' I suppose!! Is that 100g before microwaving?

On my way to work this morning I was wondering if they would be nice warmed up the next day? I made them Saturday and Sunday morning and was so stuffed I only had a small snack mid afternoon as was still too full for dinner!! I'm going to make them tonight and take them to work tomorrow :D

It's got a veg slicer on it and you rest the slice of veg/potato in the holes in the white stand to microwave them!! :)

Hi everyone!! I bought one of these and its amazing! :confused: Do you think that microwaving potato slices till there crispy is still syn free?? I hope so! :cross:

For the magic pancakes I used 3 eggs (as I find they flip better) also I blended them to make them smooth, also if you like cinnamon then add a bit of that and it makes them taste like French toast :clap:

Morning, hope you enjoyed your first class!! :o I had a successful week and lost 5.5lb :) Good luck for your first week xx

Was my first weigh in tonight & I've lost 5.5lb :party0011: Was a little shocked as didn't think I would loose that much, found the week really easy too :) Has defiantly given me a confidence boost to keep going with it! Xx

We'll done with your loss :) I'm a really fussy eater and hardly ever fill my plate with 1/3superfree but still managed to loose 5.5lb in my first week, so keep at it I know I will be :party0011::party0011::party0011:

I agree! Any loss is still a loss no matter how big or small! 1lb a week is nearly 4 stone in a year!! :party0011: Good Luck!!!

Hi! I joined a class last Monday, so tonight is my first WI!! :cross: Good luck :p

:welcome:I'm new too, first WI tonight so fingers crossed!! :fingerscrossed:

Thanks will try these! Just need something I can take to work just incase, tesco is to easy to nip to and buy something naughty so least if I go prepared I'll be fine lol

This actually sounds amazing! I love garlic bread too haha have got the quark just need garlic and the petit pains (I know where I'm going in the morning) Thanks x

Yeah I know I can syn it but just seems kind of a waste as you can get so much more for them haha I'll resist temptation for now but will cave one weekend for a yummy brekkie/lunch treat! ;)

I've got the snack book from class but there's so much in there I don't know where to start? Just want some ideas for 0/low syn savoury snacks. I love my crisps and have seen about making your own in the microwave? Has anyone tried this??

Thanks! I've seen this on another website but couldn't remember where :-D

Haha I totally feel your pain! I've not been too bad till today! Note to self don't go shopping instore anymore - online you can't smell the temptations :)

Bought some oats last night, really looking forward to trying these in the morning :) might try 2 eggs tomorrow and 3 sunday and see what I find easier/nicer :p xx

Just been to Tesco in my lunch break and all I could smell was the yummiest fresh warm white bread ever?! That's what I'm going to miss the most I think while trying to loose weight! So anyone got any tips on something else just as good? :-/ xx

Here's the thread I started although have heard to use 3 eggs not 2! - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/336226-syn-free-pancakes.html

Curly Wurly's are 6 syns and take ages to eat if you've put it in the fridge for a bit :) also Tesco multi pack popcorn, the sweet one is only 2.5syns (salted is 3 & salt & Sweet is 3.5) Hope this helps xx

They must of only just done that special offer on the babybels as I paid full price Tuesday :-( will stock up on them I think while there cheap :-D

Fab thanks! I'll whip this up over the weekend, hubby loves a nice soup so even if I don't like it I'm sure he'll finish it :o

Thanks! I will try some soup! What veg haven't got too strong/overpowering taste which I can add spices too disguise? Think that will be my best way forward to try new things at least!

Only like Heinz tomato and most of that I would eat with loads of fresh bread :confused: Will slowly try new things, even if its only 1 thing a week :)

Thanks! Yep I wanted to do something for ages but there's always been something in the way! Now I'm doing something for me! Can't turn 30 and feel unhappy with myself so really looking forward to this challenge :o Good luck, you've done really well so far looking at your stats :) xx

Lovely Thanks!! I'll get plenty off eggs too then and soak 2 lots of oats and test them out! I'll give hubby the ones which don't turn out as good haha :p

oh ok! Thanks! I'll stick with what I'm doing for now & I'll do that if I get stuck :o xx

Your Welcome! :) xx

lol Magic Pancakes! I'm going to try them at the weekend! Along with 0.5 syn Fruit Roulade! Need to go to a bigger supermarket to find Quark and remember oats lol!! Wonder if there's a tip to them not turning to mush? Might text my SW leader!!

Don't know how to do it on here, have been using the SW tracker online and myfitnesspal app, either way I'm chuffed and hoping to notice on the scales Monday :p

This was another recipe mentioned in class Monday - so sorry if been posted previously I couldn't see it!? You need - 2 bowls, swiss roll tin, baking paper, 1 tub Quark, 4 eggs, 1tsp baking powder (1/2syn) 4 tbsp. sweetner, vanilla essence & fresh fruit. 1. In one bowl mix together the 4 egg...

Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't see it. My SW consultant told us this recipe Monday and they are really nice - 35g oats (HeB) soaked in a muller light overnight in the fridge (any flavour), beat a couple of eggs, mix with the oaty mixture and some sweetner. There best...

Also just a quick note to add, just sat here bored on my lunch break so I added my food diary to myfitnesspal for the past few days and I am very happy with the calorie intake!!! Its what I set myself to loose 2lb a week but couldn't stick to it before, just shows going to class and learning...

Brekkie & Lunch is no problem with superfree foods as I can stock up on the fruits its just dinner! Thanks for all the advice though, its much appreciated! I'll give it a good go for a month or 2 and if it's not working I'll have to go back to WW as I know that works for my fussy-ness? :o xx

Thanks, I like the sound of making my own mini pizza's :) Nope I'm so bad even hate the taste of veg :confused: Saw somewhere there are some 0.5-1syn sausages so going to give those a try also look out for tomato passata as that sounds better than puree! Think I could force pea's down if I...

I'm so glad you've said this as I'm on my 3rd day of SW and haven't felt hungry, which is great but I am worried I'm eating too much and won't loose?!

Thanks for your quick reply :) I just hate all veg, makes me gag :eek: I've been to a hypnotist to try and get over my 'fear' but sadly nothing seems to work!? I occasionally try something new and have tried a couple of things this week but no joy! I don't like the texture of baked beans so...

Hi everyone! I joined slimming world on Monday and would love some moral support :-) I done WW about 4 years ago (on the old points) lost 3st but had some horrible family problems and put it all back on plus some :'( I don't like the new pro points so thought I would give SW a go especially as...
