According to the website: Crispy Chicken, frozen 4/6 pack, 85g each EE 7.5, O 7.5, G 10.5 Hope that helps?

Asda stock the LM sausages, but they're in the freezer aisle with the vegetarian food rather than with the sausages (if that's any help).

I was only thinking to myself earlier on that I wished I'd bitten the bullet 4 years ago and lost some weight. For me, the tipping point was struggling to buy a pair of jeans in my size from a shop and hating how I looked in photos. Although I'm still staying behind the camera rather than in...

These aren't on the SW website yet but someone worked this out a couple of weeks ago: Smokey Chipotle Chili & Honey = 1.5 syns Creamy Poblano = 1.5 syns Fiery Jalapeno & Tomato = 1.5 syns Spicy Habanero Chili = 1.5 syns Warming Paprika = 1.5 syns Now those syns are based on having 1 quarter of...

From what I understand, Slimming World don't endorse Joe's Sausages like they used to. But I used the nutritional information on their website and they worked out as free when I did that about 4 weeks ago.

Do you know what sort of facilities you will have there (i.e. a microwave)? I tend to have leftovers from dinner from the night before which takes a lot of the stress out of things, and I don't mind eating them cold (I've worked in a couple of places that didn't have a microwave so had to get...

Are there any activities or jobs you could save for when the kids are in bed to try and help ease the boredom?

Go for it! I'm sure it'll be great fun and you might even meet some new people :)

The overnight oats is good for breakfast. 35g porridge oats (HexB on EE) and a mullerlight mixed together and left in the fridge overnight. In the morning I add some fruit so I get my 1/3 superfree. No hassle as you make it all the night before :)

Superspeed are things like strawberries, raspberries (most berries in fact!), mushy peas I think are superspeed too. If you look in your book, they're the ones with SS next to them. I was having a lot of apple and bananas with breakfast so I substituted them for strawberries or frozen berries...

Not sure if it's any help, but are you having superspeed foods? When I got into a little rut of 0.5lb, my consultant spotted I'd not really had any superspeed foods so I incorporated them back into my meals.

Didn't McCain bring out those frozen jacket potatoes you only had to microwave (and were ready in like 5 mins or something)? Might be worth a look, I don't know the full details as I don't have a microwave!!

I'm not a student, but I am mindful about what I'm spending my money on. I'd suggest looking at somewhere like Lidl or Aldi, you'll find shedloads of good quality fruit and veg in there for a really reasonable price. I think I've seen some threads on here about Aldi/Lidl equivalent of...

My trick is the emergency bag of salad leaves. If I don't think there's enough superfree, I chuck some salad leaves on the plate! I've found the overnight oats great for breakfast as I make it the night before and it's all ready for me in the morning when I'm bleary eyed and don't want to do...

I use the Old El Paso fajita seasoning but serve with rice or pasta rather than the wraps, if that's any help?

Our consultant mentioned cauliflower rice which is basically grated cauliflower but thickens up sauces. Not had the opportunity to try it yet though!

They're still selling the mini malteaser bunnies in my local B&M - 3 syns per mini bunny and a couple of them normally take away the cravings. Don't know what I'll do when they're sold out though :cry:

When I went a few weeks ago, I had the light choice penne arrabiata (not sure if I've spelt that right!). You get a bowl of pasta and it comes with a side salad and the dressing is on the side too. I also asked them to add chargrilled chicken breast to it, just to give it a little bit of meat...

Mullerlights were still 10 for £3 on Sunday - my fridge is resembling a supermarket yoghurt display!

I have to give a thumbs up for the Red Onion and Rosemary sausages. They are lush for meat free sausages, and even better if they've been barbequed!

I've had a couple of weeks of only losing 1/2 a lb and I spoke to my consultant on Monday night to see if there was something I was missing (I'm only on my 5th week). We went through my food diary from the previous week and she noticed that I could probably do with adding some more super speed...

Ah thanks Willbeslimjen! I'll go for veggie chow mein next time.

I've used the syn calculator based on the nutritional information they have on the website. Most of them came out free - including the marinated meats!

I'm not sure Samantha - our consultant had no idea why the values have shot up so astronomically. This was in the magazine that gets sent to the consultants.

I found out last night from my consultant that the syn value of Chicken Chow Mein from the chinese has gone up to 16.5 syns. Most of our group were horrified, especially me as I'd had chicken chow mein the night before thinking that it was only 7 syns so I had beef with mushrooms as well! She...

I remind myself of why I'm doing it. I don't like the fact I can't go into a shop and buy a pair of jeans, or that I always look terrible in photos! When there's temptation (like the waft of Maccy D's in the office) I look up the syns and think to myself is it worth it or would I rather reach my...

Popped into Asda at lunchtime and they're selling the small cans of Heinz Spaghetti Hoops (or loads of different types of shapes!) for 25p each.

Keep an eye out for their extra lean beef mince offer - I stock up as it's so cheap!

Off the top of my head I'm not sure how many syns (if any) would be in the big tubs of flavoured yoghurt - may be a job for Syns Online. But certainly the natural fat free yoghurt is syn free.

Fruit and veg is always good in Lidl, you'll get lots of super free food at a really good price! You can get big tubs of fat free yogurt, and if you're looking for cheese you can usually find light versions (i.e. light mozzarella) if you have a bit of a rummage.
