Hi all, I usually make some kind of homemade biscuits or cakes with the kids for their Grandparents at Xmas.The problem is this year they are all but one following WW- does anyone know of any low point recipes for sweets, cakes or biscuits please!? Thanks in advance!

That's great, thanks! I was thinking of mashing new potatoes with their skins on for a rough mash and HEXB and mixing it with the squash and some carrots to make more of a topping. Will let you know how it goes!!

Hiya, I have bought some frozen cod, salmon and king prawns and want to turn it into a fish pie, but not sure how I can make a low syn sauce.I could use a HEXB for the mash topping or I could have a free topping by using butternut squash. If anyone has any ideas i would be very grateful!

Hiya, I have made syn free meatballs, which I am watching the kids gooble down with spaghetti at the mo! It's amazing how it doesnt make a difference cooking without oil for most dishes! I will be eating later with hubby, but dont have any wholemeal pasta (to have as hex b) so do you have...

StaceyUk, I have just finished eating (eating early to prevent temptation at the cinema in an hour!)-gotta say this is lovely!! I had it with some Quorn Italian style meatballs, but to be honest, its more than good enough on its own!! Thanks again !

Thank you for sharing that recipe-it looked so nice I am now cooking one!! Can't believe it is so low in syns for the amount there is!! Am having this for tea and then putting rest in freeezer so I dont get tempted to keep picking at it!

Thanks for all the replies.I do keep a food diary and the SW consultant has 2 of mine, so I couldnt see if there was anything wrong with what I had been doing-will get that next week. I must admit that with doing the green days I do feel bloated and have a lot of "wind":o than I did with...

Thanks mojomcl! I am keeping a food diary and hand it in every week.I didnt get last weeks back because I had to weigh and go due to my daughter being ill. I have only been on SW 3 times-once when I was 26 (in my 30's now), last April to June and now, so not really a person who has been on and...

Thank you both for your replies.I know i shouldnt compare but this is the 3rd time over many years that I have attempted SW and with both I was losing 2-3lbs a week.The only thing I am doing different is just doing green days instead of alternate green and red as well as the heaps of butternut...

I feel so gutted-I have stuck to the plan well (mainly green days) and have only lost 1lb this week and 1lb last week :(:(.2lbs in 2 weeks!? Surely it should be better? I know its a loss, but I would have been happier if it was a bit more than that. The only thing that has got me thinking is...

I will rephrase what I said about the syn value as that wasnt really the issue, but about the fact that they are wholegrain and low fat like ryvita minis, which can be taken as a HE. I havent tried them yet but have 2 packs of smokey bacon and wanted to know if I can HE them or syns them...

Hi all just wondered if this was possible? I am sure that syn for syn the small bags of Ryvita Limbos were less syns than the Mini Rivita:confused:

Ahh, thanks! I do know it really but it doesnt feel as bad when someone says go for it, lol!!xx

Hi all, I am out on a hen night tonight-I have avoided going to the meal because I know plenty of alcohol would be drank with it.I do want to drink, but know I will go over my syns for the whole week! Weigh in is Tues.Shall I just enjoy myself and start again tomorrow without having any syns or...

Hi all can I use philadelphia light as a healthy extra and if so, how much would I be able to use?

Thats great, thanks again!

Found these the other day and thought they were nice, but expensive for 3 x 80g tins.Just wondered what the syns were for each tin please?

Hiya! I have just started back SW too and will be starting back the classes tomorrow. I have done it at home for the past 3 weeks and lost 5lbs, but feel I need the physical motivation of standing on those scales in class and being told I have lost to give me that extra push! Good luck!

Hi Tara!

I have to agree, it was lovely!! Even my hubby who is nothing but a carnivore said it was nice, which is rare for him as he never tries any of the other Quorn things I have bought. I was supposed to have 100g of it and leave some-well I ended up having 200g of it and saving the other...

I can tell my hubby to read these replies and be quiet now!

Hi Jim, you are so right, there are some real stinkers out there! Cant see why there is a need for that, after all we are all after the same goal-to lose weight and have a bit of support doing it!Their loss is Mini mins gain!

Thank you!

Thanks!

That's great! Thank you all for the replies,it helps at lot!

Thank you all so much.I dont eat a meal with them, just have those treats and in a way I think its my reward for staying away from the kids chocs and biscuits as well as all the cakes, crisps and biscuits they have in work, which was why my weight ballooned so much in the first place!! Will keep...

Thanks its nice to be welcomed so soon after joining!

Thanks, didnt expect it to be that high!

How much nutella do you put in?

Hi all, just joined MiniMins today! I have no problem sticking to the plan but my hubby said that it cant be good eating my syns at night-is this right? the thing is I work nights-am allowed to sleep between 11pm-5.45am, but find it hard to sleep so I read from 11-12. This is the time I crave...

Thank you, and good luck to everyone with their weightlosses!xx

Thanks for the welcomes!xx

Hi, this is my first post here, Ive only just joined:o. I am wondering if anyone know the syn value of this roast? I know the turkey style one is free, but only saw this one yesterday and wanted to have it for my roast this eve! Thanks!
