Anyone know if quinoa is free on EE? Can't find info anywhere. Thanks.

Yes it sucks in the extreme! On WW, they give you activity points which is bloody great for the weekend. I used to walk every day and so i'd store them up for the weekend. I know that SW is generally more flexible which is great. But it's damn hard to eat out and drink on the feckin' thing...

Would that not make you gain though? I don't want to stay the same at weigh in cos i'm only a pound off half a stone. So i'd prefer to go on the dry this weekend if 4 cans make me gain. Aagh. It's hard to know what to do. And a bleedin' sticker for body magic??? They can keep it! :D haha

So you don't get anything for exercise whatsoever? God, how depressing. :(

Hi all. So i'm sticking to the 15 syns a day and under dealie every day. Some days i'll have very little and others, I may use all 15. I average around 11 though. I've started running to train for a mini marathon. I'm running about 4-5 times a week at 20-30 mins a time. What is the story...

Thanks so much for your sweet reply. :) x

I know. I'm bloody ridiculous with weighing myself. I must stop. I just get so curious. But I will start to limit how much I do it. His-beau - thanks for your encouraging words. I know it's absolutely a change of lifestyle and i'm really embracing it. I love the plan and it doesn't feel...

So does that mean that I shouldn't really expect a loss next week? if it takes a week to adjust what's going on now, that will affect next week's loss probably. :(

So i've been on SW for one whole week. Had picked my weigh in day to be Sunday. I had been sporadically weighing myself all week as I got curious. :) Yesterday, I was 3lbs down. Over the weekend, I had a night out on Friday where I was drinking bottles of Heineken. I ate very little that...

Ditto!!

Thank you. I have to say, this is the loveliest forum I have ever been on. You are all so supportive and inspiring. It would be so much more difficult to do this journey without you lot. :) xx

Yeah, very true. I just feel bad when I go over syns though. I was banking on tonight being my cheat night as i'll be having a few drinks. I feel like i'm being really bold now cos of wagamama last night too. My only saving grace is that I only ate half of my dinner. So I divided the syn...

Sounds like a good plan. I was the same as you last night. I didn't know i'd end up in Wagamama and there wasn't much else around. Grr. It's annoying when your intention is good but the food on offer isn't.

Well you see, this is where I got caught out. Considering the amount of horrendous options out there, I thought Wagamama would be a relatively safe bet. And it was because of all the free stuff in the dish. I even swapped soba noodles for wholewheat, thinking I was being really good. I'm...

I had Wagamama last night. I didn't have my book with me so I hazarded a guess as to what would be relatively low syn wise. I picked chilli chicken men with wholewheat noodles. I came home to discover that it was 20 odd syns. Jaysis ******!!! :D I love SW. I think it's a brilliant plan...

Yay, thanks so much ladies. I'm not gonna give up on this one, lol. :D They look SO nice!! :D

Great, that makes sense. Thank you. Have I everything else correct?

I'm going to try a green day today. But first, I want to make sure that I understand the plan correctly... Pulses, starchy veg, normal fruit & veg, quorn - all free. 2 HEA and 2 HEB Right so far? So what's the story with the meat. It says in my book about 'additional extras' and the...

So, I geared myself up for a trip to my local giant tesco to pick up these beauties. I was excited. Alas, they didn't have them. I'm so disappointed. Anyone know where I can find Mikado sticks in Dublin, Ireland? Thanks.

That's a great help. Thanks a million. :)

Hi all. New to all this malarkey. Can someone explain to me what the story is with switching to a different plan for a day from ee? Do you just follow the green plan that day for example and go back to ee then? What would be the point in this and why do people do it? Really curious and just...

Ok great. Thank you. :)

Thanks a mil. I read that. But it appears that SW assume that you will over indulge on them. I limit myself to one baby potato when I make them. I try to eat free on breakfast, lunch and dinner and I never use my full syns.... So i'd find it a bit of an injustice to have to syn an extra...

I have to say, I don't really get why these crisps wouldn't be syn free? I mean, if you cover a potato in fry light and put it in the oven to make slimming world chips - that's syn free. So why does the act of chopping up the potato really small make it a synnable food? I just don't...

Ok great. Thanks a mil.

I've just started Slimming World today and I plan on doing it from home. I was in a group for a month or two last year but it drove me mad. It took forever and a day for everyone to get weighed in and the meetings weren't very good. The only apprehension I have about doing it from home is...

Hi guys. First post and first day of SW. Apologies if this has been done before. Does anyone have any ideas for free meals on Extra Easy? Thanks.
