Can somebody please find me the syn value for the following? Sacla Oven Roasted Tomator & Rocket Stir Through It's a 190g jar, I thought it was pesto when I brought it lol Thanks x

Hi, Can somebody find me the syn value for the following please :) Tesco Light Choices Spanish Style Cooking Sauce. Thanks Gail x

This has been an interesting thread, last year when I was at sw my leader told me to only use 10 (I have 3 stone to loose) and I always stuck to that and my weight loss was quite slow, so I might try starting with 15 for a couple of weeks and see how I go... Thanks Gail x

Thanks everybody x

Well like alot of people I've put on weight over xmas and need to get back on track. I lost just over a stone last year, stopped the diet in August and since then have put most of the weight back on... :cry: But I'm determined that I'm going to loose all my weight this year (3 stone) and keep...

I'm not keen on yoghurt so this will be ideal for me... I've just put a toffee one in... can't wait to see what it's like xxx

The yoghurt & options sounds nice.... mmmm Yeah your right about the cake, think I will treat myself then lol Not sure what I'm having tonight yet, need to do my shopping. Not got much in so had a batchelors savory rice for lunch and a pack of limbos Gail x

Sorry I've not been about all day, took the boys to their music class this morning then been ironing most of the afternoon :o Thanks Cherryade, I’m not a fan of Jelly but will have to find something similar to munch on Jay, bless you... thanks for believing in me... your right I can do...

Hi Guys, Thought I'd start this off today, not really looking forward to mine as it's my star week and haven't really stuck to plan this week as I've had the munchies lol Never mind!!!! Onwards & upwards Hope everybody else does well at their wi's today x

Every morning I have a latte (cup of skim milk with coffee) and zap in the microwave, that's all I've had so far, will have 2 boiled eggs on toast for brekkie so that's 1 hexa & hexb. Not sure what to have for lunch yet, might have a batchelors savory rice and quorn sausage x

Susan, would love to x Thanks Dehli x

Hi Guys, I haven't been on much lately, been lurking more then anything :( Since easter (when there were the kids easter eggs everywhere) I've fallen off the wagon and I'm finding it really hard to get back on... I have one leg on and the other dragging behind me :D The week of easter I put...

Yeah this is the wrong one cos my loss from this week hasn't come off

Good luck everybody and well done to all the loosers so far x

My weigh in is at 7pm and I don't stop eating at any particular time but have started to eat 'lighter' food... for instance just before my wi yesterday I ate half an easter egg... it didn't feel like it weighed much so didn't think it would matter to the scales and I was hungry pmsl

Great thread.... Well mine is that I got my first half a stone sticker yesterday.... great achievement for me and I'm loving watching the scales go down... I only ever watch them go up lol

Well done Annie that's great. My twins are 2 next month and have never been and as I can't swim I'm determined not to let that happen to them. My husband is a fantastic swimmer so this summer is going to be there one where we get them swimming, will also look into swimming lessons as they get...

I lost 1.5lb this week which I'm really pleased about, also got my first half stone award.... yay!!!! :talk017: Gail x

Good on you huni, I can't wait to feel like that too x

Brilliant :p

Got to agree with Alan Rickman but my weird crush has to be George Micheal.... had a crush since the Wham days lol

Good luck Sue and everbody else who weighs in on a thursday x

I lost 2.5lb last night.... really chuffed :D but now i'm 0.5lb away from my half stone... :( just wish I had got it last night.... never mind!!!!! lol Gail x

6 Months????? Wow.... you go girl!!!!! That is fantastic and you must be so proud of yourself. Gail x

Awww so chuffed for you. Well done and my god you deserve to sing from the rooftops if you want... I would lol. You look lovely btw Gail x

Hope nobody minds me starting this ;) I'm not online for long and won't be back until after wi tonight at 7pm. I'm really really hoping for 3lb this week to get my half stone sticker.... I think I've managed it but you can never tell until you get on those scales..... aaarrrggghhh can't wait...

I disagree with you there Alice, I don't think it will help them at all. I would hate the thought of my boys going to my funeral at that age with everybody crying around them etc... way too much too young. I watched the Jade with love programme last night and cried my eyes out at the end...

Wow, well done on your loss that's fab. Gail

Niknaks your quiche looks really lovely. I made a tuna one from a sw recipe book and it was disgusting.... threw it away. Also it broke up, think it got stuck to the bottom pmsl Gail

Have a lovely day xx

Only the low fat ones are free Gail

I've just tried my first one and I've got to say it wasn't too bad. I did however forget to put cheese on it :confused: but it was still nice. It took me a couple of mouthful's to get used to the texture but when I finished I wanted more lol :D Def worth trying Gail

That's good to hear, I'm trying my first one tomorrow... mmmmm Gail

This is so interesting... I've never really thought about how the pill affects my weight. Both my sisters don't take it and are size 10's. The only time in 12 years I haven't taken it was when I was pregnant, I was pregnant with twins and only put on 2 stone and lost it without trying within 3...

Well done Tracie, that's def something I look forward to :D

Yay!!!!! :D

That isn't the right one, mine and chocolatelady haven't been updated on that one, thought the one I'd posted was right????

I might try these, I'm finding that the potatoes I get at the moment are always really crap

Some fab ideas here, might try this Friday x

Oh my goodness, that does look delish!!!!! That's my kind of food ;) x

I put on 0.5lb this week :( not happy with myself for having a 'indulgent' week ;) Back on track for me today, I so want to get my first half a stone

Annie - 21lbs - 17lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs 19lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs 16 lbs to go Orion - 21lbs 18lbs to go MsBlue - 15 lbs 10lbs to go SuePat10 - 21lbs 13.5 lbs to go Mrs V - 13lbs 11.5lbs to go Pink_Peony - 21lb 18.5lb to go Taz - 10.5lb 6lb to go Melsy - 14lb 10.5lb to go...

Thanks everybody :D Harrie I am very motivated this time, I haven't done a diet since having my boys and they def motivate me ;) I'm hoping it's just af that's making me like this, I will still go to my weigh in and start again a fresh week. I can do this..... :D:D:D

Thanks hun, I'm actually feeling quite down about it and that's not like me.... also just realised af is due in a few days so I'm hoping it's down to that old bag lol x

When ever I start a diet, I do ok for the first 2/3 weeks then it all starts going down hill. I've hardly stick to my diet at all this week, my wi is on Tuesday and I'm dreading it :( I need to get out of this mind set but I don't know why I do it.... I need a boot up the bum Gail x

Sounds brilliant but I can't justify spending £150.....:(

oh I get it now... lol... I read it wrong x

I had a veggie stir fry and it was yuck!!!!! lol Will have to try those though, stacey's pics looked lovely x

That's per day not per week though right????

Hiya, Are you saying eating 3500 calories gives you 1lb of fat?? Gail

Well done everybody, especially Dearfatty for getting below 200lb xxx

I agree with Ria, because your starving your body during the week (you might not think you are but you are) then when you eat on a weekend your body is storing the fat it needs. I would change your eating habits and eat healthily 7 days a week (obviously with the odd treat) You def need more...

Thanks girls.... Jay I always shop at Tesco so that is fab, wanted to bulk a salad out abit so thought I'd use some cottage cheese... yay!!!! Gail x

Fantastic, well done huni :talk017: I've got exactly 1 stone to get to my club 10 and can't wait!!!! What reunion are you going to?? Gail x

Hi Guys, I have a quick question about cottage cheese (hope it's ok to post it here :confused:) The very low fat one is free on green days, does that include the low fat flavoured ones ie with pineapple or chives??? Thanks Gail

Last night I made Quorn sausages and sw chips and omg, they were lovely, surprised with both of them. I cooked the sausages under the grill and sprayed with buttery frylight and they browned off lovely and I put garlic salt on the chips.... yum!!!! :D

Annie - 21lbs - 17lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs 19lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs 16 lbs to go Orion - 21lbs 18lbs to go MsBlue - 15 lbs 10½lbs to go SuePat10 - 21lbs 13.5 lbs to go Mrs V - 13lbs 11.5lbs to go Pink_Peony - 21lb 18.5lb to go Taz - 10.5lb 6lb to go Melsy - 14lb 10.5lb to go...

That's what I lost in my first week too, it is abit disapointing but I got over it and now I just think any loss is good, I lost 0.5lb last night and I'm still pleased x

Well done Jay x

:(:(:(

Can anybody tell me if I can have pitta bread as a healthy extra on an original day? I can't find it in the book :confused: Thanks

Fab, thanks x

I've had a cooked Quorn shepherds pie in the fridge since Monday night, would it be ok to use for lunch today do you think?? Thanks Gail x

I've just bought this too, going to try it on my chips tonight... yum!!!!

Apple Beef Carrot Duck Eggs Fish Green Beans Haddock Ice :D J

I'm up for this too :D I'm 32, 5ft 4" and currently weigh 12st 11lb (started at 13st 1.5lb) I'm a size 16 (comfortably) and my target is 10 stone and a size 12, If I could get below 10st that would be fab, but for now 10st ;) Gail x

Annie - 21lbs - 17lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs to go 19lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs to go 16 lbs to go Orion - 21lbs to go 18lbs to go MsBlue - 15 lbs to go 10½lbs to go SuePat10 - 21lbs to go 13.5 lbs to go Mrs V - 13lbs to go 11.5lbs to go Pink_Peony - 21lb to go 18.5lb to go Taz - 10.5lb...

I lost 0.5lb this week and I'm pretty happy with that considering I thought I hadn't lost. Will try better next week though :D

Thanks for that Jay.... I am going to go and hold up my head whatever... ((((Jay)))) xxxxxxxxx

Bl**dy fantastic.... Such an inspiration

I don't feel like going tonight, I'm only in my 3rd week, weighed myself at home (they are 1.5lb out) and I haven't lost any weight... gutted....

I only used 1 tin of toms & 1 tin of beans and wasn't runny at all :)

Yum, all sounds lovely.... My shepherds pie was nice, still some left for lunch tomorrow....

I've made a Quorn shepherds pie (just not put it in the oven yet). I have packed it full of veg and herbs and looks & smells lovely, I can't wait to eat it :D What's everybody else got tonight??? Gail x

That sounds nice too, might have to experiment ;)

And it was delish!!!!! :D Thanks to whoever it was that put the recipe in the recipe section, it was so much nicer then I expected it to be.... ;) Gail x

Well done hun, hope my sw scales are as good to me, don't have a good feeling this week x

I was gong to say the same as Mrs V, prepare everything as if you were going to work and try to stick to it, if you feel you want more just pick on fruit xxx

I'd love to loose 2lb every week if I'm honest... 2lb is fab, I'm the sort of person who will never have a big loss even though I have at least 3 stone to loose but I'd be v v happy with 2lb a week x

This has been interesting for me to read cos my consultant told me to only have 10, so might treat myself today lol Gail x

Let us know what she says... x

Hi Guys, Where can I find the chickpea dahl in Morrisons? I'm going in there specifically for that so don't want to be in there ages lol Thanks Gail x

I don't blame you hun, sounds abit weird in my opinion, she sounds like a stalker :confused: Good luck staying to class it really does help Gail x

Thanks your both stars xxx

If you take the grapes out of the equasion I'd say you haven't eaten much at all tbh. Grapes are free anyway and as it's fruit it's not bad, just wouldn't eat that amount every day lol. Gail x

Brilliant :D Gail x

It's great isn't it.... I had 3 digestive biscuits today and didn't feel guilty in the slightest, I really really enjoyed them Gail x

Fantastic, well done Corrina x

Can anybody help????

Leila I'm with you on that... I want 3lb this week too for my half stone... lets do it!!!! Gail x

I haven't got any but I just wanted to say I think that's a lovely idea ;) Gail x

Good luck everybody Gail x

Gemma hun you put tablespoon instead of teaspoon... lol I thought to myself 'I'll have some of that' lol x

((((Sue))))) x

Well done on all your losses Sue don't you dare feel like that, you've done so well already and everybody can't have a good week every week ((((((Sue)))))) I'm sure next week will be better hun x

I had mine in my first week too and lost 1.5lb so I'm sure you will be fine Good luck btw Gail x

Do Tesco do anything like this??? I haven't got an Asda Gail x

Apart from the obvious one of wanting to look better, my motivation is my 2 boys :heartpump: I want to be around for them for as long as poss and I don't want them to ever be embarrassed of me ;) That's all the motivation I need at the moment Gail x

Oh my goodness, that is loads between us :eek: We are all going to be such skinny minnies this summer lol Gailx

It's amazing to think we carry that much fat around with us... no wonder it puts a strain on the heart. You must feel so pleased with yourself :happy096: Well done again Gail x

What a fab idea..... :D

I brought a salad dressing on the weekend and thought it was fat free. Looked at it today and say's 'reduced fat'. It is under 40 cals, have I made a mistake thinking this was free??? :( p.s. it's Kraft French Dressing Thanks Gail x

Good luck everyone

I've only seen the thai ones... would like to try something else... lol Gail x

I lost 2.5lb this week.... well chuffed :D Gail x

Good luck everyone!!!! And well done Claire, that's fab x

Thanks girls... thank god for that eh!!!! ;) Sam, that's a good tip, might give it a try then I can have 2 a day lol.... :D Gail x

Hi, I just wondered if you could use both HEXA'S on milk as I like to have a cup of heated milk in the morning (with coffee like a latte) then wanted to have cereal but won't have enough milk for both. Thanks Gail x

Thanks for that Linda, might have to invest in that one too and see how I get on... Gail x

Stacey that looks so scrummy, must try this!!!! Thanks Gail x

Blimey... they're brilliant. I love them, so quirky x

Awww don't feel bad, you've done such a good job of getting to target ;) that you deserve to have a night off every now and then. I have to loose exactly what you had to, so I'm hoping that this time next year I'll be discussing having a night off :D Gail x

Thanks for that girls... I'm having the baked bean lasagne during the week. I quite like the sound of the carbonara... I have the magazine with it in. I have both my hexb to use up too.... Gail x

Awww I fancy a chinese now pmsl :p

Hi Guys, I want to cook something nice for me & dh tonight, I'm on a green day and don't want anything too fussy cos I have to do the food shopping and look after my twins so just want something nice & easy but yummy to look forward to. Any ideas??? Thanks

Thanks hun xx

Thanks Jay... only just seen this lol Gail x

Good luck everybody ;) Humph - How rude :mad: but at least it's given you a kick up the bum, we do need one every now and then don't we. Good luck for next week Gail x

I love melon too and when I found out it was a speed food I soon put it on my shopping list lol. I also buy alot of pears and leave them a few days... oh my god so juicy... lovely Gail x

Hiya, Can anybody tell me if the frozen quorn sausages are free on green? Also, I have a bag of frozen Quorn Sweedish Meatballs, somebody told me they have syns... have they? Thanks

For all the people that have seen results with their dvd's... how many times a week do you use them? This is a great thread btw Gail x

Well done on the losses so far. Sophie-Jayne that is amazing.... well done!!!! x

Hi Jen, Is the way you made it totally free? Gail x

Oh yeah, probably was that Sue... thanks x

I only have 1 a day at the moment.... Can I just ask though, somebody has put the cherry ones on as 2 syns but I must be using the sw online syns calculator wrong as I worked it out as 5.... what am I doing wrong? Gail x

Just wanted to say well done girls... you've all done so well and it's an inspiration to newbies like me :D Gail x

BOOT!!!!! Lol.... come on Sue you can do it!!!!! Stop eating crap, get back on the wagon and get your 3 stone award..... :talk017: We are all rooting for you Gail xxxxxxxxxx

I love bns but can't be bothered to peel so I either buy already chopped in a bag (but expensive) or i don't bother buying it... might try cutting it in half and roasting though, sounds nice Thanks

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Oh my god!!!!!! No wonder I didn't loose more this week pmsl. Thanks for that Jay, well I won't be having any of that again Gail x

So do I count these as syns then? or 2 hexb's? Thanks Jay Gail x

Jay, I didn't know how to work out my height lol... I'm 5ft 4", what's that in inches??? Babyblues... is it cos you have put 4ft 7" as your height??? Are you 5ft 7"???

I've looked in 'User CP' but can't seem to find how to do it. Thanks Gail

Hiya hun, I'm not too far from Romford, live near Lakeside Shopping Centre. Good luck with your wi, you might be surprised.... Don't give into the temptation of thinking 'stuff it', it's all worth it in the end!!!! Let us know how you get on Gail x

Thanks guys, I feel abit better about it now... silly me!!!!! Gail x

Hi Guys, Can anybody tell me if 2 x slices of Hovis Original Granary (400g) can be used as a HEXB??? Thanks Gail

Thanks Harrie, I try not to compare myself to others but sometimes it's hard when everyone's weight loss is so much bigger then yours. I am very happy with any weight loss though, I'm just preparing next weeks menu lol x

That looks really lovely, will have to try this one x

Hi Everyone, I lost 1 1/2lb which I am pleased about but as it was my first week I would love to have lost just a tiny bit more.... Hopefully that's what next week will bring. I think I'm going to mix my days abit more, I'm not a big meat eater so only had 1 red day, but think I'm going to...

Well done xxx

Wow.... well done girl!!!!! x

Well it's my first wi tonight and guess what... aunt flo reared her ugly head Sunday... I weighed myself at home this morning and I don't think I've lost anything... I'm so pee'd off :( Lets see what the scales say tonight and go from there I suppose. Gail x

Congratulations and well done xxx

Wow.... this really does look yummy!!!! Was going to make my boys a mac cheese tomorrow so might make this for myself too and freeze the rest... Thanks x

I know I've only been to one wi (:D) but that really pee'd me off at my class... I'm always on time (even with new born twins I was on time everywhere) and my class wasn't busy but there were people turning up 45 mins late and getting weighed and I wondered what time I was going to get home. My...

Thanks Vici, I might have to have a little look in Asda x

Thanks, might have to try some Quark x

I've had a nightmare today already.... one of my twins fell and hit his head on the corner of a door and split his head open so spent a couple of hours up A&E this morning :( Came home, cooked a fried brekkie and now just relaxing Having a chicken salad for lunch then chicken casserole for...

What's image therapy? At my class the c just went through everybodies weight loss and what they wanted to loose the following week and that was it. Quite different to ww as we used to share tips and recipes etc Gail x

Sounds nice, might have to try it as I have the mag too. What is Quark though? Gail x

I don't get it :confused::confused::confused:

Hiya Sue, I live near Lakeside Shopping Centre but originally from Bow (lived there for 25 years) x

Hi Daisy and welcome, I started Tuesday too, still trying to get my head around the whole thing but enjoying it so far.... good luck Gail x

Hi Guys, My name is Gail live in Essex (born in East London), I'm 32 and have been with my hubbie for 11 years and married for nearly 6. We have 22 month old twins boys Teddy & Alfie who are my absolute world :heartpump:. I also have 2 dogs (a border collie & border collie cross). I've been a...

I've only been to one class so far but they shared the slimmer of the week between 2 people at mine and my c also sat with me when everybody else went so nobody had to sit about.... seems silly to do it before Gail x

I've had a busy day today..... Had a table at a 'babysale' today, to try and earn abit of money so have been running about loading the car up, then unloading etc... made £35 so not the end of the world. Then took my twins to my cousins little girls 1st birthday party, just got back from...

Thanks girls Helen, I used the calculator, so hopefully I can stop asking here now lol Pumpkin, sounds good :D

Thanks girls, you've all been lifesavers....:D Def going to try the sausage casserole... I had a slow cooker up until recently but it broke and I have no money at the moment to buy a new one:( Will def look out for the food directory too, thanks Vici, those recipe's sound great too, thanks...

Quorn Mince Just wanted to let you all know the Quorn mince is half price in Tesco at the moment (£1) Gail x

I'm still trying to get my head around all of this and I'm just wondering what you use your syns for? I noticed there was a syn calculator on the sw site and wasn't sure how to use it. I'd like to use some of my syns for some 'jars' of pasta/chicken sauces but not sure how to work them...

Fab, thanks for that.... sounds nice and easy lol x

Hi Guys, I've had a quick look in the recipe section but can't seem to find what I'm after. Has anybody got a curry recipe that's really easy to make that either free or low syn on green? Thanks Gail x

Well done you...... :D I'm still in my first week (first wi tuesday) and if I do as good as you I'll be well chuffed Gail x

Hiya hun, I've been inthe same boat, I've done ww about 4 times over the years but could never stick to it 100%, I think in total I lost about 12lb. I started sw tuesday and so far so good, it does take a few days to get your head around, I'm still not there yet but I'm liking this diet much...

Thanks Taz your a star x

Sorry to hijack this thread but a couple of people have said they freeze portions of things but can I ask if Quorn mince is frozen and you make spag bol, can you re-freeze after?

I'll join in too :D and think I'll go for 21lb too..... ooohhh how exciting :p Annie - 21lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs to go 19.5lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs to go Orion - 21lbs to go 19lbs to go MsBlue - 15 lbs to go 12lbs to go SuePat10 - 21lbs to go Mrs V - 13lbs to go Pink_Peony - 21lb...

Awww girls, thanks so much that has helped loads.... :D Dearfatty, the savoury rice with quorn sausages sounds nice, will try that, thanks. Metermaid, have you got a recipe for sausage casserole? Also, love the breakfast idea, will be trying that one. I think I've eaten toast for breakfast for...

Sorry for bombarding the board today.... but I'm struggling abit. Not with the eating as such, I'm feeling full most of the time and don't really feel like I'm on a diet but I'm struggling with what to eat. I thought it would be easy, ie eating as much pasta as you like etc but it's what to...

Def go to the doctors and don't worry hun..... you need a diagnosis first. My son had a hernia and had it operated on when he was 4 months old and he is fine, just a tiny scar. Hope your ok x

thanks alot for that... will let you know Gail

Hi Guys, Sorry to bombard you all with questions but still trying to get my head around all of this lol. As I only started yesterday I'm trying to use all that I have already (in freezer etc) before going shopping tomorrow..... so.... Firstly, are potato waffles free on green? And if I fancy...

Loobylou don't worry I've been called alot worse than that lol Thanks ladylite x

Hi Everyone, I'm currently writing my food shopping list for next week and can't think of much to have for my dinners (dh has to have them too to save money). So far I'm going to have spag bol with quorn, shepherds pie with quorn (both green days) and a chicken casserole (red day) but I need...

Thanks Taz x

Thanks girls. Loobylou - I'm going to find the green days much easier as I don't eat alot of meat but I'm going to try and incorporate a red day somewhere.... as for the ee, I've not looked into it yet so might wait until next week to do one of those Thanks again Gail

Hi Guys, I hope you don't mind me asking but as this is my first day I just wanted some reassurance I'm doing this right. So if I write down my menu here from today, could any of you tell me if I'm on the right track?? :D Breakfast - 1 x slice of thick kingsmill bread (hex) with grilled...

Hi Guys, I only started sw last night and my c told me to have 10 to start of with and I wasn't told to use them all up... do I have to? Sorry to highjack the thread Gail x

Congrats on your jangly rings lol.... maybe that should be an incentive of mine :p

As it's my first day of sw today I've opted for something nice and easy so having a jacket potatoe with baked beans and maybe some grated cheese from my healthy extra.... x

Thanks everybody, really good to see there is such a good support system here. I'm feeling good about sw as I'm full and not worrying about what I'm going to have tonight and if I'll have enough points You all seem to be doing so well so I hope to follow you too. x

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and new to Slimming World. I had my first class last night so am starting properly today. I've been to ww before but sw is nothing like that so I'm just trying to get my head around it. My name is Gail, I live in Essex and am a sahm to 22 month old twin boys...

Hi Everyone, I came across this site a couple of weeks ago and I've just been lurking about until I started my diet. I started Slimming World last night and have never done this diet before (only ww). I'm a sahm with 22 month old twin boys, so I should be thin from all the running about I do...
