I look forward to my dinners. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are the same every day with slight changes. So dinner is my chance to have a different taste. I made a list of the basic dinners I like - curries, chili, meatloaf, stir fry, roasted chicken, and so on. It was a list of about 10...

This is a great way to make homemade potato chips: Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips Recipe : Recipezaar in the microwave. I read the recipe last week and finally tried it tonight. I made a few changes in the directions as I didn't use the oil, I used Pam (non cooking spray) on the glass...

Thanks - one - two syns is what I thought it to be. Once you add it to the fat free yogurt, it's pretty good, sweet and thick. The yogurt taste is a bit there as a very slight tartness, but not back.

Yes, it was the fruit. Cravings and the overwhelming hunger is gone! Hurrah!!

I like to add sugar free instant pudding (jello brand) to fat free yogurt. It's nice and thick and good, at least to me. What would be the syns value? Ingredients: Modified Food Starch, Maltodextrin (From Corn), Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate and Disodium Phosphate (For Thickening), Contains...

I discovered (or at least I hope I have) that fruit was making me extremely hungry all the time. Since starting SW I had upped my fruit intake as it was an easy snack to take with me, but my hunger increased dramatically. I ate fruit, still hungry, ate more, and so on. What about pairing...

I bake the squash for the purpose of freezing it. I bake the squash, scoop it out of the skin and puree it. I use a cookie scoop to put balls of the puree on a cookie sheet that has waxed paper or a silicone sheet on it so the puree balls won't stick. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer...

Not doing too well keeping this up. I'm having hunger issues. Hungry all the time, especially after eating fruit. So I'm going to cut fruit out of the food lineup and see if that helps. I notice this once before. I had cut fruit out and my hunger issues stopped. In Starting SW I had...

What about chicken thighs vs chicken breasts - both skinless? Chicken Thigh3 ounces 133 cals 4.1 g fat Chicken Breast 3 ounces 142 cals 3.1 g fat There doesn't seem to be too much difference between them at 3 ounces, 6 ounce would be a 20 calorie and a 2 gram fat difference. I like the...

Is there a microwave? I like taking a starch (potato, rice, barley, couscous, etc) and adding beans or a bean chili to it. Warm in microwave for 2 mins or so. I also bring 2 cups or so of a frozen vegetable - green beans, brocolli or a mix of some sort - and microwave for a few minutes...

My dog lives for his walks. As soon as I come home, he's watching me, asking me with his brown eyes "Walk?" Every move I make either confirms a walk or denies a walk. It's so funny to watch connect the dots, as I get ready to take him for the walk. He loves it!

Hi all, I'm a SW in the United States and the only source I have for books is online and some of the books are expensive. Amazon has free shipping once the order goes over 25.00. So what to buy? Here's what is available for me at Amazon.com: Slimming World Food Optimising by Slimming World...

I made one with the recipe that is on this site and when it was done cooking and still hot, I pressed 3-4 dark chocolate chips into each piece (1/8 of a pie tin). It was good.

I would be extremely please if I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. But I also want to eat real food in satisfying amounts and SW lets me do this. Sometimes being a turtle is better for your body. Gives you time to adjust to the changes happening to you.

I agree with all of the above. I came back to SW after trying WW and others as I realized it was something I could follow for the rest of my life, unlike the other 'diet' plans. Especially with the Easy plan which means I can cook the same things for my mom and myself. Christy

Congrats on your loss! Hearing what others have done encourages me to keep on going. Christy

I have you beat - I was 46 before I made my first omelette. It always looked to hard to make. Now I can make a pretty good one. Lunch is a pasta, black bean and tuna fish salad with fat free mayo w/ some balsamic vinegar. It's had two days to sit and stew so the flavors should be good. On...

I'm not sure if I'm up to doing two diaries, so this will be food and weight loss, plus odd thoughts as they come up. I weigh in every Wed night at my TOPS (Take off pounds sensibly) meeting so I'll post that weight each week. This week's loss 2.4 pounds. My third week of weight loss. I only...

I have a cookie recipe that I enjoy a lot and it would help me eat my syns each day and have a treat. In calculating the syns for the recipe, do I calculate the syns for each item, add them together, then divide by the number of servings? Any idea on the syns for chocolate chips - I use the...

I'll just repeat what everyone has told you - you can do it. Stay on track and keep focused on what you want. Christy

Hi All, I just found this community when searching for Slimming World information. I'm back on track with them. I follow it from home as I'm in the United States. I joined online for a while a year or so ago then let my membership lapse once I understood the process. I stopped following SW...
