    Xl chicken shish from kebab shop (no pitta)

    I guess it's to keep it from discolouring and to make it moist. I just read another post about someone's local sandwich shop adding butter to the baked beans. It just goes to show how many hidden sins are out there, even when we think we're making good choices!

    Shocked - Local sandwich shop

    It is a pain, never quite knowing even though you're doing your best to stick to the plan. My Dad puts butter in his beans though, apparently they taste creamier. Let's face it, not many things suffer from the addition of a nice big piece of butter lol.

    tgi fridays

    A burger and chips in TGI's would be pretty astronomical on the sin front. Your only real option is to go for either steak, chicken or salmon and have it with salad or veggies. I don't know where this oil rumour comes from, I used to work in TGI's and it's not true. Make sure you state no...

    Xl chicken shish from kebab shop (no pitta)

    It depends on so many things... did you have mayo? Chilli sauce? My local kebaby actually pours vegetable oil all over the salad so it's very difficult to know for sure.

    Starbucks

    I've had a couple of medium skinny latte's with sugarfree hazelnut syrup and they are delicious! Because healthy extras tend to be about 6 sins and the medium skinny latte is 6.5, I just count it as one healthy a and half a sin.

    How healthy is a healthy extra?

    I used to ask all kinds of questions like these but I think with the healthy extras it comes down to the combination of calories, fibre, fat, saturated fat and sugar in each item. In regards to pasta n sauce, mugshots, etc... I believe they are included because it needs to be a workable...

    Vodka, Lime and Soda

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... I have checked online and 50ml of Rose's lime cordial is 2.5 sins. In a standard vodka, lime and soda you would probably have close to 25ml of cordial so I would count each two drinks as 2.5 sins to be on the safe side. x

    Fourth Weigh In

    Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I definitely expect a gain this week following the extra weight loss from being ill and also, it's my birthday today so I had a day off! But I will carry on 100% as of tomorrow. =D

    favorite Slimming world meal?

    Fourth Weigh In

    Okay, first I have to admit I have been very ill and haven't eaten for 3 days this week so I know I lost a lot of weight that way but... I lost 9.5 pounds this week!! That's a total of 1 stone, 10.5 pounds in my first month... I am OVERJOYED!
  23. Amber_Baby

    how man sysn do you have ?

    It's usually 5 to 15 syns a day but those with higher starting weights are sometimes allowed more to begin with. You should speak to your Consultant about it though, to get the figure that's right for you.

    No way, really? They are £1.98 in ours and haven't changed since the change to 5 bars.

    extra easy

    I'm sticking with red and green for now as this is only my fourth week and I know the plans inside out. If I begin to feel like I need a change then I may give EE a go, I still feel like the jury is out though. On average it appears the losses it produces aren't quite as good as with red and green.

    Beefeater- What would you have from the menu?

    I would have honeydew melon to start followed by the gammon & pineapple jacket potato instead of chips (taken as a healthy b) and then fresh fruit skewers and syn the sauce it comes with. :D

    Question about EE

    Hmmm,it doesn't sound like she's given you the best advice. That's not exactly how the EE plan works and you are free to choose from Red, Green, M2M and EE so if she advised you to stick to EE all week she should have explained the reason why. But yes you can mix all the different day options to...

    using syns for chocolate

    Yeah I use syns for chocolate quite often. I am the same, it's the one food I can't go without so I have to allow myself to. If not chocolate I sometimes have butter, mayonnaise, little cakes such as Mr Kipling lemon slices and chocolate mousses. Most of the time I would prefer to pay the syns...

    I'm looking for ideas. I don't mind spending a bit of time making it but I'd really like it to be free on at least one of the days (green or red). What would be good to make?
  134. Amber_Baby

    Original did you know it was free

    Yeah I love pastrami, it is thin strips of beef seasoned with black pepper and is very lean. I didn't know for sure if it was free so thanks for the info!

    Gammon

    Yeah gammon has got more expensive but so has everything else unfortunately. Sunflower oil used to be 50p and now it's £1.30, that's a biggie I noticed recently. I'm not surprised that the reformed gammon has syns and I doubt I'd eat it anyway, it's all about the real gammon which is...

  150. Amber_Baby

    How much lost and in how long?

    Well I've only been on it for a week and a half and I have lost half a stone. From what I hear in class, the weight losses can be not only amazing but also sustainable.
  151. Amber_Baby

    Where the bargains are at and anything else thats useful.

    Cherries are half price in Sainsbury's and they're delicious!

    Portion Control

    It's exactly what most people have said and what my cnsultant says every meeting, eat to your appetite... don't stuff yourself until you feel ill. If you eat to your own appetite then free food is exactly that.

    Low Syn Dessert Idea

    General SW queries....

    In the last week I've had 5 '28g cheddar' 1 '42g feta' and 1 '175ml' whole milk so not much variation. I tend to have bread as a b at least once a day and then the other I usually use for more bread, a roll or a portion of something from the opposite day (eg: chicken on a green day, jacket...

    What did you used to eat?

    Before starting SW my diet was very poor. Lots of fast food, unhealthy sandwiches, crisps, chocolate and not a lot else to be honest. Plus I used to drink about two litres of diet coke every day. Now I'm eating right and limit my diet coke to one or two cans a week.
  175. Amber_Baby

    Whos stuck to it today? MEEEEEEEEEE!

    Yeah I did and I went to the gym too and I drank 2 litres of water. Woop woop!
  176. Amber_Baby

    Does this sound alright?

    You should be having one OR two healthy a's and two healthy b's. You should also have between 5 and 15 syns a day, 10 is a good number to stick to. I have one healthy a and no more than 10 syns a day and I lose really well when I stick to it.

    i feel like im eating a lot!

    It's funny but in the past I have found that sometimes when you eat more, especially of the free foods, you actually lose faster. They don't do Image Therapy at your group? So it's just a weigh in then go home?

    new on SW

    Congratulations, that's a great start. I have done Slimming World before like you and I know it works so I have come back to it again. I weighed in on Tuesday evening so I will be starting tomorrow. I'll probably kick off with a red day and go from there. I hope we both succeed this time! :)
