So far I've only done it with the peanut hottie and raspberries. Prefer the raspberries- less syns with them too!

Baked oats are great as a dessert. Use the oats as HEB then syns come from whatever flavouring you use. I've made it with peanut hottie and it made 3 buns (using the silicone bun cases) and drizzled some choc shot on too. I've also made it with raspberries but put it into a ceramic dish instead...

Green and original plans are no longer included in the new packs, the only information is on the website. I was on it the other day and it wasn't easy to find!

Roast potatoes, roast carrot and parsnip, broccoli, cauliflower, onion gravy and a quorn turkey burger!

I keep hearing about fitbits. I was looking at them on amazon the other day but stopped myself from getting one since I don't exercise much (really should) so there's not much point in me getting one! That's a pity about your auntie and uncles attitude. Don't let them get you down- you'l show...

Leftover chicken curry with ryvita

SP day yesterday and today. May do another tomorrow but a normal EE on Sunday. I want SW roasties made with stock!! Have also bought philly light to make mushroom stroganoff so that will be another EE day soon. Food today: B: satsuma and chocolate orange mullerlight (day 8 of SP so added in...

SW Easy chicken curry and cauliflower rice :)

Don't think I've noticed hummus as a healthy extra before but could be wrong as it is not something I normally eat! Salmon fishcakes sound nice! My mum has that book, may have to borrow it again. I've tried the pizza from it and it was good!

No soup left for lunch today so having 3 pumkin ryvita with dairylea and fruit

Orange mullerlight with a satsuma and cup of coffee!

Thanks!! I'm super motivated at the moment as my sister gets married in 6 weeks!! It is more restrictive as there are very few P choices for vegetarians. I eat fish too which helps, if I didn't I don't think I could do SP for very long. The green plan is best for vegetarians as there is an...

Subscribing!! 2015 is going to be the year I get back to target too!!

Subscribing to your diary :) There's nothing wrong with having 13.5 syns! That's lovely of your OH. My friend is in the same situation where she is trying to lose weight but her OH struggles to put weight on. At the moment he is trying to gain it which makes cooking difficult for her.

4lbs off!!!!!! That is 8lb in 2 weeks :D :D :D Definitely going to do some more SP days this week but with some normal EE ones too :)

I used to be awful for it but my scales have stopped working and I'm not replacing them. Think I'm better not looking during the week as there have been times where I'd put weight on during the week despite being on plan and then used that as an excuse to eat loads of chocolate!!

No problem, I only know because I like the flavoured ones! You should check out the website since there is loads more on it to choose from :) :)

Food for the day looks great! I found myself feeling full on SP days so wasnt using my full 15 syns. 3 sweet onion ryvitas count as a HEB. The full list of healthy extras is online, the book only has a selection of them :)

4lbs off this week with being back on plan and doing just SP from Friday :) :) Will definitely do a few SP days this week

Glad you enjoyed group :) Looking forward to seeing your SP meals- I've been doing it from Friday and am really surprised I haven't missed my potatoes!

I'm interested to see what the losses are! I've been doing SP since Friday and weigh in tomorrow evening so will update after then. But I'm not expecting it to be much since I had a big (undeserved) loss last Thursday and think that may impact weigh in tomorrow!

Another SP day! Weigh in tomorrow- not feeling that confident about even though I've been sticking to plan. But I had a big loss last week which wasn't deserved, plus it was an earlier weigh in than normal, plus I ate a load of junk when I got back from it on Thursday so I haven't had a full...

Well done!! That's fantastic :) :)

My Consultant didn't tell us about having free food on a SP day, she says if you do have free food, then you've stepped back into a EE day so don't have your second HE. I know the book and website say differently! She also said green and red were gone- didn't refer to the website at all!

butternut squash soup with 2 ryvita and dairylea plus a strawberry cheesecake mullerlight

Food plan for today: SP Breakfast:Milky coffee (A), melon (S), 3 boiled eggs (P) chopped up in cup with onion (S) and 1 tbsp salad cream (1) Lunch: BNS soup (S). with 2 ryvita (B/S), 1 dairylea light triangle (1.5) and strawberry cheesecake mullerlight (1) Dinner: leftover chicken curry (S and...

Hi Livvy Yes S are speed foods. And no potatoes, pasta or rice! Can't syn them as they are still free foods. I've copied this bit from another thread: "What if I want to have potatoes or a yogurt on an SP day – do I count them as Syns? No – potatoes and yogurt are Free Foods, so (as...

Milky coffee and possibly some melon when I finish it

So 3 SP days completed.. might do another tomorrow. Undecided at the moment as tomorrows shift at work means eating at odd times! My food for the past few days: Friday: Breakfast: apple(S) and 2 satsumas(S) Lunch: butternut squash soup [butternut squash(S), red onion(S) and red pepper(S)]...

Easy chicken curry (from new recipe booklet in packs) with cauliflower rice

Subscribing :) I can't do it at home either, knowing someone else is weighing me keeps me on track! Although in saying that, I got to target last Christmas and only stayed in target range for 5 weeks! Haven't been nowhere near it since!

Loving the pics of your meals on SP. Going to try the curry tonight with cauliflower rice :) All out of broccoli at the moment!

Whoops.. haven't been on here in a while.. Well, December was a complete write off, stuffed my face with junk the whole way through. Still went to group most weeks and not surprisingly had gains all the way through! The only surprise was last weigh in where I lost 4 lbs!!! Yep, over Christmas...

I would normally do green days and switch to EE the odd time I was eating fish. Loved the fact the past 2 nights I could have fish and still have 2 HEB :)

I'm on my 3rd SP day now and have been enjoying them so far. I think they're easier to do than success express seeing as the likes of peas and beans count as P :) Just having to think more on what to replace the potatoes, rice and pasta with!

I logged on again and can still see it under a B choice for EE! I did notice that reduced fat halloumi is now included in the A choices for cheese :) It used to be only in the green days B choice.

The healthy extra lists on the website are sorted by EE, red and green. Theres no option for new EE or SP so assuming it still counts for the new too!

Extra virgin olive oil is still listed on the website as a healthy extra :)

I would take it as 9 syns per sausage as well. Having a look online, there is another type of sausage listed as 'chilled 8 pack, 57g each: half a syn' and I doubt 8 sausages would only be half a syn!

Since there's no free food in it, you could estimate it by the calories. 1 syn for every 20 calories!

Quick tea for me tonight as had to go to weigh in, 3 boiled eggs in a cup with some onion and salad cream

Half a pound isn't too bad, especially when you haven't been able to stay on plans. It can be awful hard at funerals, there's never really much to have on plan, and usually you don't really care too much since it's a sad enough time. Hope you have a better week this week. Slimming world...

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow :)

Dinner was 3 boiled eggs, some onion and salad cream Snacks after weigh in: rocky road and choc crisp hifi, WW yogurt, crunchie and some grapes. Syns: 10 HEA: milk HEB: porridge and 2 hifis Lost 1.5lb this week :) Just realised that's my stone award back :) Haven't drank much the past 2 days...

All your shopping done? I wish I was as organised! Well done for staying on plan :) It can be hard to when you're out :)

Well done on the loss. That is fantastic!!!! :)

Hectic two days at work, pretty much feel like going to bed for a sleep, I'm tired and I'm cold (even with the heating on) but I've weigh in later so will just have to wrap up warm! Plus I want to stop at tesco on way home for a few bits and pieces. Food yesterday: Breakfast: porridge made...

HEA and B of porridge and a cup of tea

LOL, if I'm off plan I could finish one of those galaxy bars no problem. He just doesn't have a sweet tooth like me!!

Another day off work today :) Pity it's the last one until next Tuesday :( :( Was up early to as had to go into town to do a few bits and pieces. Actually made a start on my Christmas shopping. Very nearly bought myself another bag until I remembered I'm meant to be saving where possible...

I know :) For some reason in my head I thought I had had far more!!

Oh and there are plenty of threads on whether you should use your syns! Have a read of this one: http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/343155-how-many-syns-do-you-usually-use-per-day.html In my opinion, syns are there to be used!

Checked syns online, the fat free natural yogurt is free, and I think the sticks are too. The only ones that came up are ones called 'fishmonger seafood sticks' and they are free. What exactly went in your smoothie?

I think the amount of food you are eating is fine- I think the guideline is eat until you are full. Where have you counted the 3 syns? I think you have had more. Fruit is synned whenever it has been blended so there is some in your smoothie. Plus the tablespoon of honey. The seafood sticks...

Beef was lovely- maybe a bit drier than the chicken roast (or could be my cooking lol) but that didn't matter much since I had it with gravy. Now to decide whether to have the chicken or beef on Christmas day!

Thank you both. Downloaded it yesterday and is definitely encouraging me to drink more. I'm getting a reminder that my plant is thirsty if I haven't drank in a while lol. Only thing was with my weight it was recommending drinking nearly 3 litres a day so I reduced my weight to a ridiculous...

Lunch today was 2 boiled eggs in a cup with some onion, and 3 quorn sausages with a melted mozzarella slice.

Trying to decide between mushy pea curry or chilli. Have just noticed the time and am going to go with the curry since it can be made far quicker!!

Definitely what everyone else has said and planning ahead. If I know I'm going out for a meal or drinking then I'l try to reduce my syns for a few days before and after (not everyone agrees with this) to help compensate for it. Plus not feeling guilty and getting right back on plan the next...

Subscribing :) How has the bolognese turned out?

Just seen this, as Jaffa Cake say, you would be better going to group (if even only once) just to get the new member talk and books. It would make it a lot easier for you if you want to eat meat every day?

Regular popcorn chicken= 14 Green/9 EE Regular gravy= 4 Chips= 10.5 Not sure about the boneless strips. Boneless mini fillets are 6.5 each on Green/ 3 each on EE Diet pepsi would be free. Chicken would be better suited to an extra easy day if eating more than the healthy extra amount on a green...

Just counted my syns up from Thursday and I'm on 58 for the week so far so should be alright really :)

Lol, my OH had brought home crisps, sweets and chocolate to snack on while watching movies last night. I thought by maybe typing it I wouldn't eat it.... I did. Food turned out differently than what I planned: Brunch: 3 quorn bacon rashers, 2 fried eggs and some onion. Half a banana Snack...

I will not eat any haribo or galaxy. I will not eat any haribo or galaxy. I will not eat any haribo or galaxy.

Ohhh thanks, going to have a look for it now :)

Having a nice chillaxed sunday today :) Lovely long lie in (won't get one next weekend since I'l be working both days :) ), then some brunch. OH went out for a cycle so I took our two dogs for a walk around the back roads. I definitely need to get more exercise- was getting quite out of...

The chocolate crisp ones are really chocolately :) Think I'l use them tonight for my choc hit :)

I got the roast beef from tesco the other day, reduced to £2- not sure what it's normal price is as it's the first time I've seen it. Unfortunately it was the only thing from the new range that my local tesco had :( Hoping it will get some of the rest in too!! Going to try it tonight for...

Can anyone recommend a good drinking water app?? I'm nowhere near drinking enough and thinking maybe havinng an app might encourage/ remind me to drink more (silly as that sounds!!) Thanks :)

It doesn't sound daft at all. My mum would have her milk measured out and if there was any left over she would use it to make a milky coffee in the evening. Unfortunately I don't have any aldis at all near me- I don't think there's any in northern Ireland at all :( I've tried the choc caramel...

Love this curry- but hate mushy peas! I make it without the baked beans though. Last time my OH made it for me but didn't blend it (I always do) and was very suprised that at the end there wasn't much difference!

Yes they are, pretty sure the chilled ones are too

Subscribing! I'm trying to lose weight for my sister's wedding in feb and then keep it off for my own wedding in may 2016. I originally joined slimming world for my other sisters wedding a few years ago, lost a good bit but had put some back on by the time of her wedding- felt self conscious...

So star week has arrived :( Usually I use it as an excuse to binge out on chocolate but am trying my best this time not to! Today's food: Breakfast: Mullerlight and banana Lunch: Butternut squash soup, 3 sesame ryvita with 2 dairylea light triangles Snack: Apple, grapes Dinner: Leftover curry...

Mullerlight, banana and a black cup of tea since my milk has froze in the work fridge! ! Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi Stacey Subscribing to your diary :) Love your photos! What's the salted caramel hot chocolate like? I love the salted caramel hifi bars :)

Today has been another good day, I'm on a roll :) Dinner was a bit experimental. Decided to try a chicken korma recipe from one of the sw magazines. After starting realised I had no tomato puree or quorn chicken pieces (I also had no fromage frais but I normally leave that out of recipes...

Tesco had it in stock last night :) I love it!!! Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Do you need any sauce to go with your steak and chips? Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

The ones I use most are my actifry, soup maker and hand blender ( although it isn't used as much since I got the soup maker!) Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

60g of wholemeal bread is a healthy extra b choice. If doing extra easy you only get 1 B choice a day so anything over that would have to be synned. Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Dinner included 2 quorn fillets. Snacks: 2 HiFi light bars, grapes, crunchie (7.5 syns) and peanut hottie drink (4 syns), plus another syn for the cocoa powder in the muffins!

Weigh in last night and was delighted to lose 2lbs. Now all I have to do is keep it up and stop having binges. I really want as much off as possible by Christmas. Food today B: apple, half mullerlight and 2 weetabix muffins (seen these on IG, that's were the other half mullerlight was) L...

Thanks. I now have 20lb to get back to target. I wasn't a very good target member- I only was in target range for about 5 weeks!!! But I now have the thought of fitting into a bridesmaid dress to keep me on track! I haven't tried it on yet but it looks like it won't be very flattering if I'm...

Subscribing :) Good luck for you 1st class tomorrow :)

I've been wanting to try peanut bottle for ages! My local sainsburys never had it. Tesco has just started but was sold out last week!

OK its been a while since I was on, I've been completely off plan and lost all motivation. Need to update the ticker as I'm heavier- it's closer now to to 20lbs to go :S It is just over 3 months to my sisters wedding so that's the target date in my head. Don't really know how realistic that is...

Yes the olive oil would be 6 syns. I'd do what jen says and use fry light to make it syn free Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yes I heard too there's going to be changes to the plan- extra extra easy! Although I don't know how true this is. I heard it from an ex consultant. I suppose we'll find out soon enough Sent from my GT-I9300 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I really like them! Definitely will be getting more next week :)

Good luck!! :) 6.5lb wasn't too bad of a gain for 3 weeks!

GREEN DAY Breakfast: was up quite late and had the last of the stew from yesterday~ it was a very small bowl! Lunch: hummus (recipe is here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/201326-syn-free-hummus-ee-green-day.html ) with some celery and carrot sticks, 2 boiled eggs and 45g...

So yesterday was a good day, food wise. GREEN Breakfast: fruit salad (banana, apple, strawberries, grapes and orange) and banana mullerlight Lunch: stew (potato, leek, onion and carrot) and an orange Dinner: more stew with 2 quorn fillets with BBQ seasoning Snacks: 2 choc crisp hifi (B)...

I love the pizza from the fakeaways book- but did it to serve 2 instead of 4!! !I did try a few from the little book of soups- which is handy now coming into the colder weather. I bought the curry book last week but have yet to try anything from it, might give the chicken korma a go tonight. And...

These look good :) Hopefully they won't be too high in syns... I want to try the curry!

Wow that's a fantastic loss!! Well done! :)

Good luck!! Are you following any particular diet?

Hi Tracey (and everyone else) I'm also a fellow lurker and signed up last night! I'm new to the site but not to slimming world as have been doing it the past few years pretty much losing and gaining the same 2 stone. I do a mix of green and extra easy days, and I do go to group. I don't have...
