    Extra Easy Nacho-Style Feast (SW Magazine)

    The only thing I can see it could be is fajita seasoning? I know mostly herbs/spices are free but I have come across some pre mixed flavoring type things that are minmal syns. Can't see anything else it could be. :/

    Aldi hot and spicy cous cous

    Hi. Ive just had some of the aldi cous cous and I'd previously checked and knew the syns were very low so I ate it with my tea with lots of salad. But I just went to double check the syns and it says per 100g cooked. When I had looked before I thought it had said per pack! Does anyone who eats...

    Ive recently joined slimming world online and after reading through some information on there, it seems that once you are at target you still have to pay to have continued use of the website.

    Uh oh

    Elle, I'm not sure Beccaharrison89 has said she still lost weight by doing that - the way i read it was that she has done exactly the same as OP, she has eaten badly and has done this when she only has one pound to lose to get to a stone. I could be wrong though and maybe I am the one who read...

    SW Sausages

    You get them online, if you google Joes sausages, you'll find their website. I think there is a minimum order you have to make so they can seem a bit pricey, but I suppose you can freeze them and they'll last you a while. I haven't tried them myself but they are supposed to be good. A butcher at...

    'New rule' regarding syns

    I've always been told this too, its what I was told years ago by my first consultant and although its 5 - 15 now my most recent consultant says it 5-15 but recommends to have 10. From what I read on here on many other threads though it seems that most people have up to 15 and still lose really...

    Asda mince

    Not sure if it makes any difference being cooked weight, I wouldn't think so as its still only 3% but if it helps I just looked at my small pack of extra lean that says less then 5% fat and it says the same as yours - 100g cooked has 3g of fat!! So hopefully that means free- its the same so I...

    Extra Easy Help for a first weeker

    I think you should totally ignore what you have seen on those scales! I can weigh myself every single day and even right up to the day before my official weigh in I can look a couple of pounds heavier than WI day. I know its hard not to look but in the past having a peek before WI has made me go...

    Don't worry, its got to happen sometime and the main thing is that you have accepted it has happened and are ready to move on.

    I don't blame you for emailing them, its a bit naughty of them, I bet a lot of people will have missed that it says less than 10% instead of the usual 5%. I would never have thought to check myself.

    I'll try to avoid those big packs then. At least I have advance warning of this now so thanks for that. I wouldn't have noticed if I had bought it myself. I usually get 2 of the smaller packs for £5. How annoying though, You'll have to syn it now, and thats really annoying when you know you...

    Back to group mini moan

    I hate it when things like this happen to people at their first meeting, it could put people off SW altogether especially if it was their first time doing SW, people might think all consultants were like that.

    Hi, I originally planned to do EE today as I'm having roast potatoes, chicken and veg for tea. But now I fancy jacket potato with beans for lunch. I have already used 1 B choice on weetabix and 1 A for milk, then I suddenly realised I may as well make it a green day. That way I can use the...

    Also a few people in my group said to bulk it out or to add some superfree they add cooked mushrooms and veg etc, I bet that would be nice.

    Asda chick pea dahl anyone?

    I really like their chick pea dahl, its a very mild curry flavour, and quite filling, I usually have half a tin with some rice. Its really good for a syn free meal when you want something quick and easy.

    Wow thats great, coming home and going straight to WI and also buying a countdown too, sounds like you are determined! At least with SW, you never need to be hungry. Good luck for next weeks WI, I bet after a few weeks out you'll have a really good loss next week! x

    I'm back!!!

    Hiy, welcome back, I know what you mean about upcoming events sending you off track, I tend to do that, and I never used to, I used to just fit them in with SW, I've got into a bad habit of using things like that as an excuse to give up. Now you're back in your routine you'll have that 8Lb off...

    wing wah all u can eat chinese

    Sounds yum! I can never be diciplined when I go to an all you can eat place, even if I feel full, I still cram it all in and when I come out I have to wind my car seat back down as I can't sit upright cos I'm so full! lol. We have a good chinese buffet place in town and it only costs about £5.50...

    What are you fav evening snacks?

    I like Asda good for you chocolate orange crispy bars at 4.5 syns, they taste like a cross between terrys choc orange and chocolate crispy cakes. yum And thai sweet chilli satin crunch from Aldi at 4 syns.

    Disheartened

    I think that is basically what Image Therapy is, they usually go round the whole group going through losses and gains. At my current group it does tend to be done the way you said your previous class was run, and I have to admit, I much prefer it, ours is only run like this because sometimes...

    I DID IT!!! TARGET!!!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:party0011: You are an inspiration to us all, your pictures are amazing! You should be so proud, what an acheivement! x
  213. Muffindoll

    Right that is it :(

    Sorry your feeling fed up! ((hugs)) I know how you feel, people will always say you shouldn't weigh before WI, and of course they're right, but its soooo hard not to do when they are just there. I lasted all week last week and then jumped on them just before I set off to be weighed at group (how...
  214. Muffindoll

    I'm going to be in the local paper!!!

    Well done thats great! And you're right, why not be proud about all you have acheived, I'd want to shout it from the rooftops when I get to my target weight, and as you say, if it helps others and inspires them to join SW, that would be fantastic! I'll keep a look out for it - keep us posted!

    SW goodies at Tesco?

    Thank you all, It was good actually as I bought a few things I wouldn't normally, I think going to the same place all the time gets me stuck in a rut a bit just buying the same things, I've bought some of the suggestions here so thanks a lot guys! Ellebear - the cheese and tomato pasta was...

    Image Therapy

    I think if you made a point of telling her not to tell everyone of your gain, or even to miss you out she would as I've heard people say you can do that. But to be honest I feel just as bad having to make a point of asking for that.
  217. Muffindoll

    Image Therapy

    I agree, if you have had a really bad week and eaten loads of stuff you shouldn't and not bothered counting syns or anything, then you expect it, so I don't think I would feel quite as bad - although if thats the case you still deserve recognition for turning up to group and staying as thats...

    SW goodies at Tesco?

    Thanks Ellebear, that sounds like one to go on my list, a good one for those days hen you haven't got time to cook from scratch - I'm always having those!
  219. Muffindoll

    Image Therapy

    they sometimes say "you've had a gain" or "you gained 1lb" but shouldn't say you're actual weight. I have usually found the consultants I have had, have usually said "so you've had a little gain, how do you feel? Do you know whay that may have happended?" or something to that effect - they have...
  220. Muffindoll

    One down...

    Well done thats fantastic, a great start. Keep it going! x

    SW goodies at Tesco?

    I didn't think about cup a soups, I could keep them at work in my desk, I'm quite unorganised a lot of the time and thats when I crack so thats a great idea. they are added to my list now. Thanks

    SW goodies at Tesco?

    Hiya, I usually shop at Asda, and sometimes Sainburys. Hubby just came home for lunch and had popped in Tesco but only bought a few bits for lunch for him and the kids. We are going shopping tonight and he said he wanted to try Tesco as there seemded a few good offers on, but its years since I...

    Anyone had a gain in their 1st week?!?

    Hiya I have joined SW a few times and on the times I have come straight from doing WW I gained in my first week or stayed the same. I remember once I also lost for 2 weeks and then gained the third, even though I stuck to it like the other weeks. Hence why I have restarted a few times, the...

    Prawn sauce that I didn't even want!!!

    Thanks. I didn't think of it like that, I'm not too worried now you've put it that way, I'm sure the fact I've been careful the rest of the week will pay off. Thanks!
  230. Muffindoll

    Prawn sauce that I didn't even want!!!

    This is my first week back and I wanted it to be perfect. I went out to the market for lunch as I know they have salad boxes, I have bought sandwiches there before and they are freshly made, they always make your sandwich and then shout over "do you want any sauce?" I asked for a salad box with...

    Extra Easy £20 a week budget for 3 weeks

    *Honey, thanks so much for that, I was interested in this thread as I'm always trying to cut back on grocery shopping. I never plan meals like that and then make a list - I always say I will but never do it. I will print this out, it will really help me! Thanks!;)
  232. Muffindoll

    back on plan..

    Well done on going back, I have too this week and I am determind not to go anywhere near those scales at home. I think that is the key for me to keep me going to group as I have given up so many times due to weighing before I go and then deciding not to go if my scales don't show a loss. Then I...
  233. Muffindoll

    OMG....

    Work it girlfriend!:party0049:
  234. Muffindoll

    I hid my scales!!

    Well done! I went back to group last night and when I came home I was in the bathroom and I looked at the scales and said to myself, I will not get on at all this week, but I may just have to do what you have to make sure I stick to this. When I got to my target years ago, I didn't own any...

    no consultant

    I agree, I used to work with a lady who had previously been a consultant, she was maintaining her target and I always remember her saying that she always had to work at it, it was a constant battle. There was a target member at group last night who also said she was finding it harder at target...
  236. Muffindoll

    no consultant

    My consultant at the moment is pretty slim but she says she isn't quite at target. She is a fab consultant. I know a few people who have made comments about other consultants who still need to lose quite a bit of weight and they have said it put them off SW as it doesn't show the diet works!? My...

    Wetherspoons jacket potatoes ...

    When I read it, I thought it was just me being thick and there was some other method of cooking spuds that I didn't know about! ha ha! Thanks for letting us know though, maybe as someone else said they do just presume you will put the butter on, so the syns are taking that into account!?

    Why Slimming World...?

    I agree, this was one of the reasons I found WW so easy, as I'm often not very organised. I have been following SW again lately but have been off work for 3 and a half weeks, once I go back to work next monday, I'm not sure SW will be ideal but time will tell, I can always switch again.
  239. Muffindoll

    Why Slimming World...?

    I choose SW mainly because I have a big appetite and I know on SW I don't have to weight meat, pasta, potatoes etc, so for me, I'm more likely to stick with it. I have done WW a few times, I would say I like WW just as much but fo different reasons. For me, I don't use my points wisely, and end...

    Loved vs Hated Weightloss quotes and cliches

    I saw one once on somebodys signature, not sure if it was on here or somewhere else but I like it. "Losing weight is hard, being overweight is hard. Choose your hard." I've put it in my own sig now! lol
  241. Muffindoll

    Woooo hooooo I did it!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You must be over the moon, All the best of luck maintaining!
  242. Muffindoll

    I didn't binge!!!!!!

    WELL DONE!!!! Your post doesn't sound at all weird to me, I totally understand what you mean. Hopefully you have broken that cycle now. Long may it continue. You should feel really proud that you haven't let it spoil the rest of your week. Good luck! x

    Wondering if I can pay by cheque to join?

    I've just spoken to my consultant and she said a cheque is fine. Yay! I'm excited now, and even better, now I've spoken to her I've commited myself to go, so no more excuses. Thanks for the help.
  244. Muffindoll

    Wondering if I can pay by cheque to join?

    ooh good idea thanks!!
  245. Muffindoll

    Wondering if I can pay by cheque to join?

    Thanks. I'll see if I can dig out my old book as I might have her number in it. At least if I ask her before, I won't turn up and feel silly if I can't. Thanks for that!
  246. Muffindoll

    Wondering if I can pay by cheque to join?

    My SW group is on a Thursday night and because I'm skint I was having to wait till next week, although hubby gets paid this Friday. Just reading another thread and it made me think, I wonder if she will accept a cheque? I'm buying a countdown too so it wouldn't be a cheque for a tiny amount. I...
  247. Muffindoll

    Buying countdown when I join

    Thank you very much, I didn't know about the book either so that will be good too.
