Hi, anyone help me with the syn value of Asda Classic Comforts Chicken with bacon, mushrooms and cheese sauce. I had a feeling it was quite low but I can't find it :( thank you

Great thank you. I love the skin of fish, nearly the best part.

I've just realised I have been eating the skin on cooked salmon. I always, always remove the skin from chicken but never thought about fish. Probably a stupid question but can you eat all the fish including skin or do I have to take it off for it to be free. I never use oil. Thanks

Hi, I'm an old member re-starting yet again. I am not going to a class this time so hopefully that won't make a difference. I stupidly gave up before reaching target and have managed to put on a stone since April so am back yet again, to hopefully lose this weight once and for all. I really...

Well hubby bought the M&S Dine In for dinner tonight and I think I am basically sunk as except for the steak I reckon everything is mega syns. Can anyone give me an idea what syns would be. Thank you. Potatoes, Tomatoes & Mozzarella Bake - Per 100 g 85 cals/2.2 protein/11.5 carbs/3.4 fat/1.0...

Hope it is ok to join in. I lost 3 lbs this week which I am delighted about. Still a long way to go but at least I'm on my way.

Oh that's great thanks.

Hi, I have only started SW again after a break of a couple of years and I'm trying to do it alone just using my old books. Just wondering if sugar free almond milk is a HEXA. Thank you.

Hi, I'm just about to start SW for the third time. I did it about 3 years ago and lost 2.5 stone but put it all back on and more. Really need to lose at least 3 stone but am trying to do this without going to class.

Good luck!

That is a great loss so far. Well done.

Wow, even I don't think I could manage that and I'm the biggest junkaholic ever. Are they not busy? They must be spending most of their day munching away.

Thank you. Not as bad as I thought. The chair leg is now safe.

I think all vinegars are free. Sorry can't help with the Japanese sauce.

Hi Does anyone know what the syn value of Asda Raisin Brioche is? I have been working my lunch and have eaten all my fruit but I could eat the chair leg I am so hungry. That is all I can find in the office kitchen but I don't want to completely blow it this week. Thank you.

Hi and welcome hope your weight loss journey is a happy one.

Wow, that is really great. You should be really proud of yourself.

Welcome and hello from a newbie too.

Thank you all for your welcome. Welshlass73 supporting each other sounds great, I could do with all the support I can get. Good luck everyone on your journey.

Hi, I was a member last year and successfully lost 21 pounds, which unfortunately I have managed to regain all of it - plus a couple extra in the space of 6 months :cry:. I am absolutely gutted but to say I have been binging is understatement of the year. Anyway I'm back but not going to...

That's fantastic, even better than you thought. Really well done. I sts, which I suppose is better than a gain but I would have loved even 1/2 off. Anyway onwards and upwards (or should that be downwards).

Good luck tonight Danny, I'll keep my fingers crossed for 2 lbs. I will be happy with 1 tomorrow night but it may be on instead of off LOL

Thanks Dan, yes all fine now. That's what I get for giving blood, not having enough to eat and standing at a rugby match (in the pouring rain!!). Wow, how well have you done! That is an amazing weightloss. Well done you. I'm sure you are delighted.

Thanks DannyB, I am trying this week to be more adventurous but I think I don't really eat enough. Some days I spend my day racing from one things to another and just forget to eat and then stuff my face later. You have done really well though with your losses, good luck.

That sounds wonderful, very thoughtful. I had never heard of it before (hope my children's grandparents haven't either as I didn't get them anything). Have a wonderful day.

Well, I went to class and it wasn't as bad as I thought, only 1.5 lbs on - not good I know but hopefully I will have that off plus at least one next week.

41 from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Thanks Leniloo and Angela. Unfortunately, I don't think I can blame my scales as they usually weigh 1lb less than sw scales. I know I really should go to class, I might go and ask the weighing in girls to hide my card so that it's not read out!!

Good luck everyone. I don't weigh in until tonight but I had a sneeky peek on my scales this morning and I think I have put on 3 lbs. Don't really know why and tbh I feel totally gutted. Can't decide whether to skip class and really try harder this week - decisions, decisions. Anyway hoping...

Hi Cookieg, Thanks for that - you have just reminded me that I have a poacher at the back of my cupboard somewhere. I may just look it out.

Wow, well done on your losses. What a fab week you have all had.

Hi Mrs V Thank you so much for having a look at my diary. I do agree with you that my diet is quite restrictive - I do seem to stick to much of the same things (as you will see when I add today's diary). I can't really do a full cooked breakfast as I eat breakfast at work so it really has to...

Well, I've decided to try and keep a food diary as my diet has been a bit 'all over the place' recently so I definitely need to get back on track. Please feel free to comment and/or point me in the right direction. Thanks. MONDAY 28TH SEPT (EXTRA EASY) Breakfast - Raspberries...

I'm 5 ft 3 ins and I'm hoping for about 9 - 9.5 stone. The lightest I have been before was 8.12 (about 15 yrs ago!) and I loved it - mind you I only managed to stay at that weight for about 3 months, LOL.

Thinking of you and your mum. Glad your doctor is moving things along quickly.

Well done on your loss and good luck for your next weigh in.

Sounds yummy! Can you post the recipe, please?

I think it takes a while for our bodies to get used to this diet (well it certainly did for mine). Well done on your lb loss, much better than a gain.

fatbunny, ended up getting a taxi as it was pouring with rain when we left. Had to get a taxi home as well as instead of going to Laganside we would have had to walk to Europa - don't think my children could have managed walking any further. There were shuttle buses going between the sites...

BREAKFAST - Strawberries, raspberries, banana and kiwi with fat free natural yoghurt and sweetener. LUNCH - Uncle Ben's Mushroom Express Rice (2 syns) OR Ham and chicken salad with Sainsbury's Beetroot Salad (Free). DINNER - Eggs, SW chips and beans OR Spaghetti Bol made using Schwartz Sauce...

Just thought I would join in as I'm just back from Tall Ships. What a fab day we were there from 10.30am. Plenty of walking but no food for me. I couldn't find anything sw friendly. Did any of you have better luck? Thankfully I had taken a Hifi bar with me, but oh my goodness I was...

I lost 3.5 lbs which I was delighted about as it not only is my biggest loss in one week but also I got my 1 stone award.

I lost 3.5lbs which I'm delighted about. Got my 1 stone award, so very pleased. themrs a loss is a loss so well done.

Don't feel disappointed, a loss is a loss. Have a happy, happy birthday!!

One of my pet hates is when my children make 'slapping' sounds when eating, usually when they are in a rush to get out to play, but my MAJOR hate is a girl in work blows her nose and then puts her tissue on the dinner table. It always makes me want to heave!

Well done, that is a fantastic weight loss.

I lost 1.5 lb which was ok I suppose but it's really only the 1.5 I put on last week.

Sorry don't know anywhere in Belfast but the butchers in Comber is very good. I know it is probably just as far as Bangor but I usually go every few weeks and you can freeze it. Sausages and burgers are lovely.

Good luck Jacqui - hope you are feeling better today. I don't weigh in until 5.30 pm. Hoping for a loss after my 1.5 lb gain last week. Good luck all the other Thursday weighers!!

Well done, that's a great loss.

Please don't feel disheartened. You are doing really well, 10lbs loss is really good and it is not too far from 1 stone. I am, and always have been a scaleaholic and my weight can differ by up to 3 lbs on any one day. The best thing to do is stick to your plan because you will kick yourself...

It is a lot of syns but they are totally gorgeous. At least you enjoyed it (and had enough syns to cover it).

wow, what a fantastic surprise. I would probably be so excited I would blab it out. Well done for keeping the surprise.

Good luck with your weigh in. You are doing really well. The rate I'm going I won't see 2 stone until next summer.

There seem to be lots of nasty things going around at the moment. I have heard of lots of people with vomiting bugs. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh, that's great, thank you. Cocktail Princess, thats great to know they will keep that long, I will boil more in future. Thanks

Hi Probably a silly question but how long can you keep boiled eggs for? I boiled a few on Sunday and was going to eat my last one today, do you think it would still be fresh? The sell by date is not until end of August. Thank you.

Hi, I think if I remember correctly you are doing SW online. There is a syn calculator on the website where you put on the nutritional info and it will work out a syn value for you. If not I don't mind checking for you however, I'm heading away on holiday for a few days.

Sounds lovely, hope you enjoy and your weather stays dry and bright.

I'm packing as we are heading away for a few days tomorrow. My youngest keeps bringing in teddies (which she never looks at any other time) and tells me they must come!! These are the same teddies that are always in the charity bag but mysteriously appear back in her room. Enjoy your Sunday.

Well done for keeping to plan and not pigging out. You should be delighted with a 2 lb loss after holiday.

Those are fabulous losses. Glad you are feeling happier.

Well done, not sure I could have resisted. You should feel proud of yourself.

I do Extra Easy :- Breakfast - Mullerlight with strawberries, banana and raspberries Lunch - Chicken salad with some boiled eggs. Dinner - Bar B Q - M&S Garlic & Coriander chicken (1 syn), local butcher SW sausages x 2 (1 syn), baked potato HEA - Milk HEB - 2 Alpen light bars Syns -...

Fybogel Orange or Lemon is the only thing works for me. I usually have a couple a week.

What about a Cadbury Fudge (5 syns I think)? I keep mine in the fridge, yum yum!!

Aw don't be so hard on yourself. Please don't rely on a mid week weigh in - my weight can change by 2 lbs on a daily basis. Sometimes it takes our bodies a while to adjust to a new eating plan and I know some girls in my class did put on or sts first week but are flying along now. Are you...

Well done on your losses. I lost 2.5 lbs which I'm delighted about. Takes me to 11 lbs lost.

Hi and welcome Good luck with your 7 day trial. I hope it goes well for you. I can't see just sticking to 2 breakfasts would be a problem - some weeks I pretty much stick to 1 or 2 choices for breakfast. I'm doing Extra Easy so I usually have Mullerlight with loads of fruit and a boiled egg...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm really looking forward to posting more. Eye6769 I'm from just outside Belfast. What about you? I see there are a few NI people here.

That's rotten, but 2 stone in 2 months is fantastic, you will have your next stone off in no time. Even though I have only been lurking for a few months you always come across as a very supportive and caring person so I wish you all the luck in the world and you will have your 10% sticker in no...

That's great, I bet you are delighted.

Hi Although I joined MiniMins a while ago I've never posted just lurked (a lot). Anyway I just thought I would say hello before jumping in the deep end and start posting. I have been going to SW for about 8 weeks now and my progress is vvvvvvv slow, but my class and consultant are really good...

:woohoo: what a fab result. Well done.

Sounds gorgeous - think my fav (Chicken Korma) would probably be at least 30 syns on its own :eek:. Glad you had a nice time.

:happy096: Well done. That's a great result. :)

Hi, and welcome to you and your baby. I'm relatively new too but I'm following Slimming World. Good luck on your weight loss journey. L xx

Thank you all for your welcome. There seem to be lots of inspiring stories on here. Good luck Dusty and Purpleimogen on your weight loss journey hopefully we can help each other along. Kristen good luck to you also, you seem to be doing really well. L xx

Hi, I've only just found this site. It certainly looks great. I started Slimming World last week as my weight has really got out of hand. I managed to lose 18 lbs last year on the Tesco GI diet but piled it all back on within 6 months plus a few pounds:cry:. Really determined to lose it this...
