    Atkins v Harcombe

    I've been following Harcombe for a couple of months and it has broken my 5 year plateau and I got into the 13's for the first time in 20 years. Harcombe helps you find out which foods work best for you (I have found out that I am better with no dairy, gluten and low FODMAP foods) I would say it...

    You have the low fat yog and milk with a carb meal and you have the full fat yog or cream with a fat meal. No mixing the fats and carbs is the key :)

    HELP PLEASE

    Have you taken a good look around the book and looked at all the free foods? What stuff do YOU like, what do you WANT to eat. The whole idea of Slimming World is it is not a diet its a change in the way you eat food, its a change in lifestyle. With the volume of free foods you can have it...

    Congratulations!!! Although in Posh n Becks style shouldn't your baby be named Kuredu ;) I stayed with Slimming World all the way through (especially after seeing my friend do the whole 'its ok I am eating for two' phase and putting on 5 stone) I wanted to make sure I tried to stay in control...

    New target rules?? Im confused

    I know ours pointed out that the new thing of bringing someone and getting a free week wasn't going to benefit target members as you already get free weeks. Maybe this is what she was referring to?

    Light Choices

    I have a boy that is terrified of the characters. We went for a themed breakfast in the Californian one about 3 years ago and he sat there white as a sheet shaking and crying, not even Tigger personally bringing him over a chocolate doughnut would win him over :rolleyes:

    Well after my shocking 3.5lb weight loss last Wednesday everything has sort of gone to pot for me. Started work on Friday, loved every minute and it should be fine for sticking to plan too (other then the fab cafe down the road) as there is a microwave/toaster/kettle at my disposal and I can...

    Subway Salads

    Totally cannot fathom how SW have come up with it being more on a red day then on a green day. The tuna is in brine and is mixed with mayo but nothing that would make it lower on a green then red :confused: My OH has a salad everyday and allows roughly 6 syns to cover the fact some of the meat...

    You CAN have take aways!

    For an Extra Easy Chinese we normally have ... Beef in Black Bean Sauce (5 Syns) Chicken Chow Mein (7 Syns) Ginger & Garlic Prawns with Noodles (5 Syns) Fried Rice (4 Syns) Total of 21 Syns that we have between 3 of us and it is a HUGE plateful each for just 7 Syns :)

    Heinz cup soups

    At most it would be 2.5 syns as its 48 calories a portion (if its the one I am looking at) wish I could fully check though as it would be a nice one to have in the work drawer!

    Is it 1 syn for the banana maybe, as the ones mentioned only come to 11 syns and it says 12 syns per cake :confused:
  222. Ossireo

    Rustler's microwaveable burgers

    Looking at the contents label there doesn't appear to be anything that could attract a free food allowance so you can just use the 20 calories = 1 syn for a basic work out. I am going to hazard a guess and say the outcome is not going to be low :eek:

    Has anyone seen my boobs?

    LOL!!!
  233. Ossireo

    Has anyone tried....

    I usually use 2 sachets of the white chocolate options (total 5 syns) per whole tub of Quark. Beat it together for a good couple of minutes as it goes very smooth, it really hits the sweet tooth spot for me!
  234. Ossireo

    is this ok for extra easy day

    Hmmm maybe I am odd but I actually quite like pudding rice by itself and the muller makes it even nicer. I'll admit I did try it with normal rice once and that was pretty horrid, I had always assumed they would taste the same!
  235. Ossireo

    Woohoo I've hit 3 stone!!

    Wonderful achievement and good luck getting to target xx

    Keeping to slimming world on night shifts- will it affect my loss?

    Hmm cant offer any particular suggestions but I know one of the ladies at my class is a nurse that works shifts and she has lost 6 stone in just over a year. I think I remember her saying she uses a lot of the tinned stuff like the stewing steak in work at night time, but not sure her timings...

    whats everyone having for dinner

    The worse one is when they THINK they are cooking healthy. The guy my OH house shares with is terrible for cooking everything swimming in Olive Oil and everything has to have a sauce or gravy and they always contain olive oil AND butter :rolleyes:

    Tasting sessions at group

    We try to have them monthly in our class. I took in Mini Caramel Snack-a-Jaks topped with a spoonful of quark with white options and a button on top (work out 1 syn each). My mum has made a wicked Biriyani before, which I really fancy now I think about it lol

    I've started doing alternate days, I do red, EE, green, EE, red etc. Find it helps the bank balance a bit and I haven't felt as bloated as I do after a run of green days.
