1 syn worth of Parmesan added to the lasagne, but I am having less of it than expected so it's only 2/3 of my hexa which means I can have a babybel! I also had 3 syns of full fat yoghurt. Child opened then didn't eat it and I couldn't resist.

Yesterday was spot on until I got to the evening - 2 Alpen bars, 1 toast with peanut butter, options hot chocolate, small snickers bar, a few peanut m&ms. So I hesitate to make any promises about today but so far; B- overnight oats, coffee (2 syns) L- sw soup S- sw humous (not impressed)...

Hope your week is going well! I seem to have got back on it after a dodgy long weekend so hoping for a loss on Sunday (I sneaked a peak this morning and I may be down a pound)

It's just a number at the end of the day! For which matter I'm counting 1 syn for a cheeky tsp of the remaining shop bought humous before I threw it away. And tonight's changed because my mum cooked way too much dinner for the kids. But I still have to make the lentil soup or the lentils will...

Thanks! It's an improvement - hope I can keep it up over the weekend despite the slight wrinkle of having my nephews birthday party to go to...

I've seen on 2 websites that 85g ricotta is a hexa. Is that right or is it the reduced fat kind I need?? I think I will only find full fat ricotta in my local shop, and I want it with my lentil salad on Friday.

Last night I had maybe 3 extra syns worth of humous and tonight another 3 so will forgoe the ryvita and have more grated cheese and a babybel for my hexa. I've bought the ingredients to make sw humous though, hope it's as nice as people say and I don't miss the tahini too much!

Congrats on the loss!

Thank you! How goes it with you? I tend to ditch the whole thing if one thing goes wrong in the day. Must get out of that habit. Starting today on plan with overnight oats, have mushroom tagliatelle in my bag for lunch, plans for a new recipe for dinner (seen in new sw magazine- something...

This really feels like a confessional... I considered not admitting that today has been another fail, for reasons I won't bore you with B- pret porridge (12 syns), coffee (1 syn) L- pub with workmates- goats cheese salad (hexa plus ?? Syns) D- mushroom and creme fraiche tagliatelle (2 syns I...

Did really well yesterday but sneaking a peek at the scales it says +1 kg! Will try to keep my mind off it until my normal weigh in day tomorrow. Today's plan: B- fruit salad, yoghurt, 1 weetabix, milk (half hexb, 1/3 hexa), coffee (2 syns) L- chicken sausages(1.5 syns), egg, mushroom, tomato...

You can't go far wrong with all that exercise!

12 syns total taking into account a bit extra cheese - and the fact that clover is twice the calories of the clover light I had before! I also fully intend to have some free rice pud so there's that. Sweet tooth!

Ups and downs! It's great that you're on target. All these descriptions of roast dinners are making me hungry!

I had a lovely breakfast from Pret (forgot to make my overnight oats) - a 'power bean protein pot' with poached egg, mushrooms and baked beans that had been mushed a bit and spiced/ mixed with tomatoes or something. I don't know the syns but it's only 160 calories so that bodes well. Depends on...

Damn, plus the mouthful of leftover Chinese starter I stole off oh's plate - 4 syns? Not looking so good now.

I'm celebrating because I've now been offered my first choice job! So in total: breakfast 3 syns, lunch say 2, dinner 1.5 (just had 3 sausages), coffee 2, margarine 1 (had wholemeal bread as my hexb instead of ryvita), 2 southern comfort 6. Total 15.5

Unbelievable, I managed to pick up the wrong bit of Tupperware this morning so I didn't have my Chinese for lunch. Couldn't face another jacket. Had to hunt round the supermarkets and ended up with coop salad with potato and salmon. Don't know whether to count any syns, can't see that there...

Forgot to do oats last night so got a breakfast pot from pret with poached egg, beans and mushrooms. Not sure how it was all cooked so let's say 3 syns. And my Chinese at lunch will be 4.5 syns. 10.5 total which I hope to stick to!

Plan for tomorrow Day 24 B- overnight oats (3/4 hexb) coffee (1 syn) L- Chinese seafood with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, rice D- heck chicken sausages (2 syns), celeriac and swede mash, spinach S- ryvita (1/4 hexb), Philly (1/3 hexa), babybel (2/3 hexa), fruit, rice pud

Plan forced off track by husband wanting Chinese instead of Indian. So I've had 10 Prawn crackers 3 syns , half portion seafood with mushrooms and bamboo 4.5 syns, crab and sweetcorn soup maybe 3 syns, salt and chilli squid in batter around 4 syns. Total 15.5 syns Will have a yoghurt too.

So since Wednesday I've had one good day (Saturday), apart from that it's been a disaster - and now my husband wants to get a takeaway tomorrow. Plus I am supposed to be going to the pub for a colleagues birthday. I will figure out something low syn, skip the popadoms, and have no syns the rest...

Sooo.. About 15 syns on cashew nuts plus 2 on hot chocolate. 26 total.

Yesterday was just as bad.. Stuck to plan until dinner when I only had half my carbonara, wasn't feeling it any more, so on my way out I got a skinny latte (4 syns) and a flapjack (something like 20 syns?!) then a pint of coors light at the pub (10?). Today Day 19 B- wheetabix and milk (hexb...

Confessional: it got worse. I had some total 5% yoghurt (bought by mistake, apparently 7 syns) with a tspn honey (1 syn), options hot choc (2 syns) and a nature valley bar (9 syns!). Hopeless day. Plan for today B- oat bake (half hexb, half syn) Coffee 1 syn L- jacket with chilli, cheese...

Slight twist on today, I've had 2 coffees (2 syns) but no chips, I had tuna instead of beans on my jacket, and I've made Marie Rose sauce for prawns, with fromage frais and a tiny bit of light mayo and ketchup (1 syn) as a snack. Haven't had my hexa yet so will go for 3 ryvita (4.5 syns) with...

Stuck to what I said yesterday except I didn't have rice pudding or yoghurt and I had ryvita (1.5 syns) with a third of my hexa lightest Philly plus 2 babybel (hexa) Plan for today Day 16 B- overnight oats (hexb), coffee (1 syn) L- jacket with baked beans, cottage cheese, salad D- steak...

How's it going fruitpolo?

Well done on managing the last few days and not succumbing to just eating whatever was there. And many congratulations on the promotion!

Oh dear, the kids didn't finish their sandwiches so I had a couple of bites of prawn mayo, say 3 syns, and some cheese which will have to be my hexa. My actual lunch was a sainsburys my goodness mushroom risotto. The butternut squash one is apparently 2.5 syns so I'll count it as that. And I...

Lost 4.9lb (in 2 weeks). I'll take that, if I keep going I could be in one of my nice dresses by the time I have to interview for my job (redundancy situation). But I already started feeling lazy and thinking of cereal for breakfast instead of eggs bacon and mushrooms/tomatoes, which is what...

I was worried about how the last couple of days would go as I was away from home, but I'm quite pleased with myself overall. Yesterday I packed in syns in the evening with wine and nuts but otherwise I was careful. I could have got a snack to eat on the train but I waited for my dinner instead...

So today: B- cappuccino (hexa), muffins and overnight oats (hexb) L-hooray! There was salad with tabbouleh, and I had some ratatouille with a few (buttered) potatoes - a few syns? D- little pot of quinoa and veggies (plus carrot humous, too nice to be syn free) bought from shop before the...

It's not that bad! I'm sure you can have a better day tomorrow, just don't lose momentum.

Plan for tomorrow... First breakfast (at 5am) - SW ham and mushroom egg muffin, cappuccino (hexa) Second breakfast (on Eurostar at 9am) - overnight oats (hexa) L- hopefully there will be some salad for lunch at the meeting I'm going to (I should have asked for the gluten free option!)... If it's...

I've had a ryvita with cheese triangle as my snack (2 syns), also a teaspoon of light mayo (0.5 syn) with my chips (which are actually 1.5 syns it turns out). Total 11.5

Yesterday had Philly as hexa on ryvita so another 1.5 syns. I'm sure I counted another 2 syns for something but can't remember what I ate - anyway 8.5 syns total. Today Day 10: B- overnight oats (4 syns worth), coffe (1 syn) L- Philly sandwich (hexb and half hexa) S- banana, Philly (half hexa)...

Hope the urge subsided!

Thanks, I hope so. I wasn't really expecting a lose in my first week tbh, especially the amount I've been eating. And unfortunately this week might not work too well either as I'm at a 2 day conference at the end of the week so no real control over what I can choose from. Will try to be really...

Nearly forgot - small taste of sticky toffee pudding that my husband bought for him and the kids (2 syns). Total 8 syns

Weighed myself at weekend - sts which isn't really surprising! Day 8 B- overnight oats with banana. Coffee 1 syn L- beef bourginon (grabbed the wrong Tupperware box this morning, meant to have the curry!) 1 syn Coffee 1 syn D- paprika beef (2 syns?), mccains <5% chips (1 syn) baked beans -...

Well done, I have a terrible sweet tooth.

Have you had syns today yet though? Or hexa/b - something to stave off the cake craving?

Diary for today (changed from what I had planned) Day 6: B- full English, cinnamon toast (half hexb) L- salad with couscous, feta (half hexa). 2 ryvita, 2 blue cheese triangles (remaining hexa/b) S- Yoghurt, 2 babybel (4syns), banana, mini magnum (8.5syns) D- veg curry, sugar snap peas, rice pud

Anyone know if I can have tesco lighter salad cheese as a hexa, and if so how much? Thanks

On plan well done!

sounds like a really good day on plan, lots of filling SW food so you don't get hungry (that's my priority). My week has been good so far but next week will be a mess as I'm away for work on Thursday/Friday and it's all catered...

Thanks so much for the info!

Great, I'm going with 35g as I love overnight oats as well as cookies. Problem is what to do with the remainder of the jar of Nutella - will have to feed it to my kids quick or I'll be tempted to dip into it!

13 syn day with Creme fraiche heavy dinner counted in, oh well

So I had 3.5 extra syns yesterday (fine) and an extra coffee (1 syn) today, plus the recipe I'm using tonight calls for more Creme fraiche than I planned. But I haven't had my hexb yet and I'm stuffed!

They look great - not sure I've found the right recipe, can you post a link? Also I came across something saying you could have 35g oats as hexb, I thought it was 25g. Do you know which is right please?

Sounds good! I got to have a jacket today (from canteen) with chilli (made at home with loads of veg) so a good day so far.

Thanks! I'm thinking I may spend another 2 syns on something or another in a minute just because I can.

Did you decide? What do you have in the fridge?

Plan for next few days... Day 4 B- tortilla, fruit, White americano (1 syn) L - baked potato with chilli, Creme fraiche (2 syns) and cheese (hexa), salad D- mushroom tagliatelle (1/2 syn for Creme fraiche), salad snacks - rivita (hexb), Philly (3 syns 37g) Day 5 (working from home so free to...

How are you today? Eaten more than a banana I hope?

Hi! New to minimins, second time on SW Extra Easy and now on day 3. I spent the weekend planning and shopping and now I've cooked a bit too much so I hope I don't waste food in the next few days (it's not made easier by the fact that my husband won't eat the bolognese sauce)! At least I won't...

Good luck! I'm on day 2 (I've lost weight in the past then put it back on again too) - I spent a lot of time planning meals and sorting out shopping which I hope will pay off. I hope group went well!

That's great! The loss not the vomiting!! Hope you are starting to feel better? I had a tricky day because after doing loads of planning involving cooking mountains of bolognese and chilli to freeze (and planning to have a lovely filling jacket with chilli for lunch at the work canteen) I...

Well done! Yes I'm going onto EE. Got tescos in yesterday and the kitchen is stuffed with fat free dairy and fruit/veg. Sort of looking forward to it after fruitlessly calorie counting for ages.

Hi! I just joined minimins. All I would say is please don't give up and please do go to the gym. Last time I successfully lost weight it involved lots of exercise, and that's what really changed my body as much as the diet. If you start by gaining just keep going because it will all come good...

Love the food diary in pictures idea. How did yesterday go?

Hello again My husband bought some meat from tescos in various marinades/ sauces I will probably just do my own thing, but just in case does anyone know syns for Tesco Chinese inspired pork loin Tesco paprika beef Thanks!

Thanks! I haven't joined up but there's loads of info in my old books and on here. How are things going for you?

I can't believe it! I literally just went to Iceland to get a stack of these ready meals but I didn't see the offer. How do they taste by the way? At least one positive is they are so much bigger than most diet ready meals - just hope they are nice.

Hi! Brand new to the forum, second time on SW (working from very old books). If anyone can help me out with syns that would be appreciated. Bol veg pots (used to be Innocent veg pots) Sainsburys My Goodness! Mushroom risotto I'm hoping with all the free veg they might be good lunch options...

About to start Slimming World for the second time. As there are some family meals in the fridge and we are going to lunch at my parents on Sunday I think Monday is my best starting point. Please hold me accountable for not having a last hurrah at the weekend... I have some very old books, so...
