Thanks, I thought maybe the bovril was now synned or something. :D

Hi, please can someone tell me if this will be synned on the extra easy plan too and what would be the cause? The recipe sounds great, I'll definitely be making it soon, thanks :D

I use my HEb for lunch if I'm at uni but if I'm off then I'll usually have it for breakfast or sometimes as part of dinner for recipes that use a bread coating. I rarely have a HEa because I can only tolerate a small amount of dairy. As for syns, I usually leave them until the evening and have...

I usually choose something that I really want to make and if I have any ingredients that are better used quicker like veg, I'll plan the next days meal with that in mind. I think it is easier to fill up the week then :)

Just eat until you feel satisfied, I also use a smaller plate to help with portion size though.

I don't think it will slow losses, lots of people love and have had great losses on red and green, at the moment I've only ever tried EE so can't say from my own personal experience. I think experimenting with having one or two and see how that works for you, if you have 2 this week and gain...

It's one a day of a HE A and HE B if you're following the Extra Easy plan. If you follow green or red days you can have 1 or 2 A choices (you can choose) and 2 B choices :)

Pete's Chicken and Pepper curry tonight with a side of peas, carrots and green beans:D

Extra Easy: HExB - 28 Pistachios (alpen light replacement :D) HExA - Semi Skimmed Milk

I'm going to try get some on my way home tomorrow, I pass Morrisons so am going to try and get the Camomile and Spearmint and the Cranberry ones . I've never tried green tea before, I've always had coffee :D

Burgers and veg tonight

A pack of Maltesers Jensen Ackles or Jared Padalecki?

I didn't really like the group thing, since restarting this Feb I've been going it alone :) I have recently joined online but after the 3 months is up, I can't continue. I have the most up to date books and have done great so far though, this week threw me off a bit with Easter but I've found...

Thanks for this recipe, I've just tried the onion rings and they were really nice, definitely going to make them again :) I'm also looking forward to trying the garlic dough balls and pizza :)

When I want to make something with limited ingredients, I like to put spices on and grill. I normally use schwartz spicy season all or the herb one. Then serve with slimming world chips and some veg. I just replace potatoes with rice if I don't have them.

Spicy grilled chicken, veg and brown rice :)

I have, I originally was on the plan for months and lost about 3st. I ended up quitting and went back to my old ways, always saying I'm getting back on plan next week...and then the next. 7 months later and almost 2st gained, I restarted the plan properly in February and more motivated than the...

It comes up at 9 syns on the calculator per 100g on EE and green

I've done the same today, my mum came asking me to try the cookies she'd made and I've eaten a few other chocs and a topic bar. I don't care much about the easter eggs themselves but more the things that come with it lol :)

Roast chicken with veg and a bit of gravy :)

MySupermarket is really good, I've used it before and you can add what you want to buy to your basket and then when checking out you'll be redirected to the supermarkets website with your full basket ready and waiting :D I also agree, the fruit and veg I've had from Aldi or Lidl do go bad...

I've never tried Oreas, will have to get some next time I see them :) For the nutella style ferrero rocher I sometimes add 1/2 tsp of golden syrup (approx 2.5 syns a tbsp) it helps it stick together more and as the recipe usually makes about 24, it really doesn't add much to the overall syns :D

Minestrone soup with lots of superfree and a vanilla Mullerlight with Strawberries after that :D

Leftover Chicken Buriyani with brown rice :D

thriller Family Guy or American Dad?

Dairy Milk LU biscuits, 35g pack is 9 syns on all plans :) Also, to work out syn values you can use the 1 syn for 20 cals :)

I really like Jaffa cakes, they're only 2.5 syns each. I also like the nutella style ferrero rocher alternative using bran flakes as a Hexb and they work out at about 1 1/2 syns each.

scrambled egg and bacon with wholemeal toast :)

chicken biryani tonight :)

I usually use 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, some tomato puree, an onion, 1 clove of garlic, mixed herbs, paprika, cayenne pepper and a few splashes of worcestershire sauce.

my next goal is to lose 6lbs, I'll have lost 2st altogether :D

Mine are wholemeal bread, rice, pasta, chopped tomatoes, passata, eggs, baked beans, spices, dried herbs, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce frozen veg, garlic and onions. I find these are my most needed, and there is fast meal options here too when I can't be bothered cooking :D

Just got a reply from their customer service, hopefully this means they might think about adjusting the recipe to make it a Healthy Extra B again. "Dear Sam Thank you for contacting us regarding the change to Alpen Light bars. We have heard your concerns to the change to Alpen Light bars...

Beef taco served with some egg fried rice and veg :D

I love the baked bean lasagne, I never use cheese but it tastes great without it :)

Old El Paso 13g Taco shells 3 1/2 syns each I never knew these were so low in syns, going to have these tomorrow with my own filling :D

yep, two 70 cal ones count as a Healthy B :D

yes, the 70 calorie ones you have are still a Healthy Extra B. I sent them an email to complain, I thought they tasted good as they were before so maybe they only changed the recipe to make production cheaper?

I can't believe they've changed the recipe, I love Alpen lights especially when I'm at uni, I just grab two on my way out and eat them on the way or have one for breakfast in the morning and one at break :(

I think just saying you couldn't handle eating anything more or that you don't have a sweet tooth is probably best if not telling them the truth. I wouldn't advise claiming that you're lactose intolerance if you aren't.

You can have 30g of them as a HEb on all plans or if not using as a Heb, they're 4 1/2 syns for 25g on all plans :)

Chilli over sw chips with side salad tonight :)

Thank you so much for the new code, I have the most recent books but wanted the most up to date syn values too incase anything's changed :)

My chips have only ever worked when I put them 8 mins in the microwave first, sprayed with frylight to stop sticking and resprayed when going in oven slightly, parboiling following recipe times doesn't ever seem to work for me for some reason. Then they go on the top shelf of the oven for 10-15...

Indian :) Foreign films/ anime - dubbed or subbed?

Chilli burgers and veg tonight :D

I sometimes feel self conscious as my clothes are getting more baggy, I'm inbetween sizes at the moment and the size below is still too tight to wear. I don't have many photos before I started, wish I took some before pics but in one I did get caught in I'm sitting on a little stool and I looked...

Big Mac in a bowl with chips and veg :)

I'm sorry you're struggling lately, I find motivation by looking at success stories, recipes and remembering why I started in the first place. The only advice I can really give is to try and focus on yourself rather than other people and do what's right for you, learn when to quit but also...

I was also told bacon is syn free with the fat removed so I've used any bacon, I don't think I've ever seen a bacon package actually labeled as lean before.

My turning point was when I realised how unhealthy I really was. I didn't even eat much but what I did eat was awful junk, mostly ready meals or pizza.

I'm trying to drink 8 cups a day, can't say how it's effected my weight yet though :D I found out sugar free cordial counts so I replaced my pepsi max with it as I hate plain water :D

little piece of chocolate gateau, I don't know the syns so I've counted it as 10 to be safe :D

I wanted to try the cinder toffee flavour but don't have sainsburys near me. I did get the Douwe Egberts caramel from Morrisons but we didn't like the taste.

Chilli con carne with boiled rice and an apple, mullerlight vanilla and a few grapes later tonight :D

I've got about 8st - 9st left to lose too, personally I'm not thinking about how long it will take because it's bound to be a little de-motivating at times. I just set mini targets like by the Thursday after Easter I want to lose another 7lbs or by April 3rd I want to get from 18st into the 17s...

I've been having some Milky Bar Mini Eggs lately, 7 eggs for 5 syns :D

Tinned sweetcorn is syn free on EE and Green, it just doesn't count as super speed like other veg

I also find it hard to eat out, I try taking lunch with me when I go to Uni to avoid having to get something because in town the streets are lined with sandwich shops (ready made, mega sized buns with tons of dressing) takeaways and in the centre there is 2 Greggs, a pound bakery and Mcdonalds :(

I found in one of the magazines Werthers original butter candies sugar free are 0.5 syns each and they last ages :D

Awesome, thank you :D

Cool, thanks :D Is this only on green days? Haha, 28 may not be for me either, like lickthelid...more like 4 handfuls :D

I would prefer people to mention my face or that I look like I've lost weight in general unless it was my boyfriend :) . I also noticed the weight loss off my face first then my boobs, my whole face feels tighter and I look less like a chipmunk when I smile now lol :8855:

I never really have a treat on my WI day, I'm usually so happy if I've lost something that it doesn't cross my mind lol

I was at a group for the most part of last year but as a full time student I find it difficult to pay £5 every week and spend money on a weeks food. I still buy the Slimming World magazines when they come out though. I've only recently joined this site but I try to help give support to people...

Hi, you can switch plans to have a green or red day whenever you like whilst on EE although be careful about the Healthy Extra and syn differences. I think the reason people do it is just to change up the routine a little, try something different and some people have said to me it helps speed...

Thank you, I had quite a few yesterday :)

Hello, please can someone tell me how many syns are in shelled pistachios?

It's a good thing not to feel hungry, Slimming World has been designed as a low fat but filling diet :) As long as you follow the plan and stay within syns you will still lose the weight, I've felt full and was sometimes certain I wasn't going to lose weight that week, got to the scales and...

I'm going to try this next week, thanks for sharing :) I didn't know weight watcher's pitta was a HE B :)

Found out the syn values for the new muller light last night, they're available in shops from 16th March :) Coconut and Lime - free Lemon Cheesecake - 1 syn Banoffee Pie - 1 syn Strawberry Cheesecake - 1 syn Apple Pie - 1 syn

I made ferrero rocher from nutella and bran flakes, everyone really liked them :D I had no scan bran or weetabix but bran flakes work well and give a bit of crunch. I used 30g bran flakes, blended into crumbs about 2 1/2 tbsp of nutella, slightly melted in the microwave to thin (I did 10 sec...

Beans are free on green and ee but my consultant last year mentioned they aren't superfree. I'm not too sure about different brands though, I use Branston because I prefer the flavour over Heinz lately and have still lost.

Mine turned out like really sweet chocolaty scrambled egg too lol

I didn't see any coconut sorry, I only saw Belgian Choc, Belgian Choc & Hazelnut, Choc & orange and mint madness

6 options for £1.50 at Tesco

Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, I tried the Chicken Biriyani yesterday and it was amazing :)
