Thanks. Its so hard isn't it? There are so may different diets out there to choose from. Good luck to you too x

Thanks for that :-) I didn't realise there was a section here dedicated to green day recipes :-) I ll keep going xxx

I have been doing SW diet (green days only as I am vegetarian) on and off for years now and I know it works and allows you to eat so much, but for whatever reason I have a great 1st week, then drift off back into over synning and weight gain!! :confused:. I have been to groups in the past but...

Hi everyone I have yoyo dieted for years now and just want to find something I can stick to that will give me positive results. I have done Slimming World on and off for about 2 years, however I am hearing lots about this 5:2 diet....and then there is always calorie counting? I just don't...

Thanks for your replies everyone and well done on those great weight losses! I'm definitely going to do it this time! And 'Iwillbeayummymummy'-your right! I prob would spend at least £30 on shopping a week then at least £10 on takeaways & junk so thanks for that coz I never thought of it like...

Hi everyone I am due to meet with my Cambridge diet consultant next Thursday but I just wanted to know if people could give me there honest opinion on whether the diet truly works and let me know how much they've lost and in what time frame? I'm about 4 stone over weight and desperate to...

Hi there Belvita biscuits used to be a health b on green days but I've heard that's no longer the case. Any one know the syn value of the biscuits in each individual pack? Thanks x

Ah brilliant! Thank you so much-much appreciated! I ll carry on drinking a tasty drink now x

I have just found the most delicious drink but have no idea of the calories or syn value! Can anyone help? Its called 'Camp'. Its in a bottle and its chicory & coffee essence. Its absolutely delicious and I've been adding a small amouny of evaporated milk to it! If it is low in syns, I highly...

Thank you for your replies. I never thought of weighing the cookies so thanks for that! I dont feel so bad now! xxx

Hi I was hoping someone could tell me how many syns there are in Asda's own brand (baked fresh in store) chocolate chip cookies? Theres no calories listed so I cant work it out. Just wondered if anyone had any idea as they are so delicious but I dont want to ruin my week by eating one! Thanks :)

Thanks 'Circes' for that. I thought there might be a chance it would be free but nevermind! I also love fresh orange juice with my breakfast but not sure if I am prepared to use syns for it....mmm...we ll see. Might give the 'adding diet lemonade to it to make it go further' a try. Thanks :)

I ve been struggling lately and I know these forums have been a great support for me so definitely agree that you should log on to these forums regularly. I have found scouring through my old slimming world magazines helpful for new recipes, tips and inspirational stories to help motivate me...

Does anyone know if Tropicana original orange juice is free? I ask because it is made from '100% feshly squeezed oranges' and not from concentrate and contains no other ingredients-(ha!sounds like im selling it!). Anyone know if it has a syn value?

Thank you all for your support! I have had a good day today-(eating wise)! :) I bought lots of fruit to snack on and a curly wurly for a treat tonight after tea (which is aubergiene risotto and SW chips). I am planning on sitting with my SW magazines this evening and planning this weeks meals as...

Thank you all for your replies. Its nice to not feel alone in this. 'Jamesmummy1'-I would love to buddy up with you. I am not a member of a SW group (used to be but too costly and didnt find any of the groups I attended very motivating or any good for me). Can anyone tell me what is in the...

I dont know what is wrong with me. Can anybody help? I keep eating (binge eating until I feel so full that my stomach hurts and balloons out!). It makes me sick thinking about how much food (junk food) I can consume in a few minutes! I am obviously overweight (about 2 and a 1/2 stone), none of...

Thanks for you reply. That 1 syn per 20 calories makes things a lot simpler! Thanks x

I am a vegetarian and I was wondering if anyone knew the syn value of a vegetable dupiaza (Indian takeaway)? I know a veg jalfrezi is 7.5 syns but I fancied a change. Also while Im on, does anyone know how many syns Asda's green Thai curry paste is? Trying to do SW at home on my own is not as...

Thank you 'Franky67' for your helpful post! I have recently switched back over to Slimming World as I feel I can eat a whole lot more on that plan but I will try the 0pp soups you suggested as they are also syn free on Slimming world. Thanks also for the website-I will take a look. Thanks...

I know how you feel-its awful feeling fat! :break_diet: I have a wardrobe full of clothes that are too small for me and I now live in jeans and baggy sweat tops all the time-its so depressing! :cry:My lardy stomach flab hangs over my trousers and Ive started to develop stretch marks! How great...

ps. I'm following the 'green' plan coz Im a veggie.......but I knew a lot of members in my last SW group who were doing 'extra easy' and were having fantastic results each week.....so I think you ll do just fine! :D x

Hi and welcome back! :) I have also decided today to return to slimming world. I was calorie counting just before christmas-managed to loose about 10lbs but have piled all the weight AND MORE! back on since! :cry::break_diet: Tried Weight Watchers for 2 weeks but only lost 1lb and so Im...

Yeah you probably right! It has been difficult getting my head round all the points. Hopefully be a 'bigger looser' next week. You ve done really well with your weight loss! Well done you! X

I only lost 1lb! Bit naffed off because I tried really hard but its still something I suppose! X

Thanks for the ideas, 'skinnie minnie'. I m going to make spag bol (quorn mince) tonight. Its been my 1st week and I'm off to get weighed now.....x

I just wanted to say that I made the Weight Watchers mexican soup today and it was delicious! Thanks again 'Tonic' for giving me the recipe! Definitely recommend it. Could I have more than one bowl if I fancied it? Or would I have to point it after eating a certain amount? x

That's great-thanks xxx

Thank you to those of you that have given me some veggie food tips! 'Tonic'-those recipes are great-going to buy the ingredients tomorrow. Its my 1st weigh in day tomorrow.....hope I've lost-beem good all week! Just wanted to ask if someone can tell me how many pp are in BNS as those chips...

No I don't have access to esource. That would be great if you wouldn't mind posting the recipes for me-would be a fantastic help for a weight watching newbie! Thanks again! X

Thanks for that! Definitely going to try that 0 pp soup you suggested-this week I've been using about 9pp on lunch so replacing it with something tasty with a 0pp value is a great idea!-leaves me with a few extra points for treats! I was going to use quorn but unsure of pp values-think I read...

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there are any other vegetarians following the Weight Watchers diet plan? I have just started the diet and am really struggling with working out pro points and so I spent this week (my 1st week) just buying branded weight watchers food to keep things simple but...

Thank you all for your replies! :D I will aim to up my water intake, try not to obsess about food and stay on 5 sys a day-(thanks 'piglet') and also thanks for your honesty with your comfort eating! I could totally identify with what you were saying! Sometimes when I comfort eat, I feel like...

Hi everyone! I have been doing slimming world for over 2 years but have constantly 'yoyoed' in my weight (I have a problem with emotional eating and instead of having just one, or even two biscuits......I eat the lot!).......I did managed to loose 1 stone on the SW plan but have since put most...

Vegetarian yogurts Please be careful! As a fellow veggie, I have had some bother finding nice tasting yogurts that are free and suitable for veggies! The Muller yogurts are not suitable for veggies as they have gelatine in, neither are the weight watchers-they also have gelatine! The only...

Thanks Irene. I will do that! x

Hi everyone Would really appreciate someone telling me what the syn value is for; Ainsley Harriot's Wild Mushroom Risotto packet (140g)- Its absolutely delicious so I'm guessing it does have a high (ish) syn value. Also for Sainsbury's Cheese and tomato cooked pasta in a tomato and herb...

Hi everyone! I have been doing the Slimming World plan on my own(green days only-being a veggie!) for about 3 months now. I used to go to classes but were becoming too expensive. I have so far lost 1 stone exactly.......:) very pleased with that but I just seem to be stuck in a rut now. I...
