    A little bit scared

    You know, whatever people say, a change, even a positive one, can be scary. We all get in a comfort bubble. It may not be what we want but it's what we know. Take me starting a job 5 weeks ago. Yes it's positive, yes it's what I have been aiming towards, but having not worked for 11 years (due...

    SW Frozen Meals - Syn Free Sausages

    I found the SW sausage to be better if cooked with things like onion and roasted veg. Cooked on their own they were quite dry and very hard. I get the feeling they would work well in a casserole too. But for me, I'd rather use a syn or so and have Tesco's healthy living sausages. They are...

    Quark.........

    Oh yes, that's so true. Lake dairy is much much nicer than any other. Having tried both sainsburys and tescos own, I will never buy any other but lake now. Still can eat it off a spoon mind you........:p

    Quark.........

    Last night I made quark into a mushroom & pepper sauce to go on top of my SW burgers and it was lovely. Quark can be had freely on SP which is the plan I was doing yesterday. But you do have to be so careful not to overheat or place in very hot liquid or it does curdle. Using quark that's been...

    changes to plans

    I totally agree that SW look into these plans very thoroughly. The plans they devise work as they test them beforehand. For many months. With dieticians/ advisers. And they wouldn't want to loose the support of the RCM (royal collage of midwives) for eg, which they would if they didn't ensure...

    changes to plans

    Just imho but i think it just means that they'll only be one syn value for all foods across all plans. And less plans too. Can't see them getting rid of syns all together but simplifying what they have makes sense to me. It was getting too cluttered xx

    Yep! That def makes no sense! I wonder if fruit will only be limited in the new success express? Hope it's only there. And so far I only hear about bananas being limited which is fine, but even to limit bananas and keep mugshots etc free doesn't make sense. If you are going to limit bananas you...

    Having said what I said I quite like the idea of being given a choice between 15 per day or 10 per day, using the remaining 35 weekly.

    Healthy B quick question

    Oo that's good to know SallyV thanks. Tend to agree with you about using them as a HE. I assumed that the recipe had changed, but as it hasn't and I lost weight having them as a HE last time I'll continue using them for now. I noticed that there were quite a few less crackerbreads on the list...

    fruit teas - are they worth it?

    Sorry to butt in on the thread, but can I ask what flavour green teas you reccommend? I keep hearing about the benefits of green tea but when I had straight green tea I wasn't keen so thought maybe flavoured green tea might be the way to go? Thanks x

    Healthy B quick question

    Argh.....I did SW a year ago.

    fruit teas - are they worth it?

    Hi i love fruit teas. I know quite a few people who say they don't taste of much and therefor are not 'worth it', but for me, if u get decent brand and brew for the time recommended then they are very nice. that said, I have recently become a fan of fruitbroo. Liquid instant tea, which I first...

    Syn allowance based on weight?

    Hi, when I started SW Last year I was given up to 20syns per week. I was 23st and the consultant told me I could have a little extra because I'm starting heavier, and therefore need a higher calorie consumption. I was to reduce them at a later date as I got smaller. I unfortunately stopped...

    Cow's milk alternatives

    I think the koko coconut milk is advertised in the new SW mag claiming that you can't tell the difference between it, and cows milk (semi skimmed).
