    Unpaid SW Consultants?

    Like a lot of people on here I have attended classes off and on for many years (either sw or ww). I have not attended a class for a couple of years because they are not for me- I find them really repetitive and am constantly clock watching when I'm there! I know the plan inside and out and have...

    I made a turkey, leek and pasta bake. Just cook 2carrots and 4 leeks in veg stock, use the stock, milk and flour to make a thick sauce. Pour this over turkey, the veg and cooked pasta and top with wholemeal breadcrumbs and some grated cheese- absolutely gorgeous :) 11 points but it was a huge...

    Has anyone started ww over 10 times? (bit long-sorry!)

    so how are you all going to keep to plan over the holidays?

    I'm not entirely sure! All i know is that i won't be buying any xmas goodies like mince pies, chocolates and baileys until the last shop before christmas. That way i know other people will be around to share them so I won't pig out and have the whole lot! I think you have to try and do damage...

    New to Weight Watchers! The diary of my journey :)

    I too have been on and off sw (and ww) for years but although i lose weight with sw I can't seem to keep going on it for long. WW is far easier to do and it teaches you to be more careful with portion control. I restarted online yesterday and so pleased I have, good luck with it!! x

    Snack ideas?

    What's your favourite tv snack? I tend to save most of my syns so that i can have a whole box of mikado biscuits. They are so gorgeous and take ages to eat but at 8syns per box i could probably do with something a bit more saintly. Any suggestions? (Apart from fruit - i do like it but not as a...

    Starting again today/ curry advice

    :cry:Well, i've had 6 weeks off (eeek) and put on 4lbs. So starting afresh today, although going out for a curry i can't get out of later. Would a chicken/prawn tandoori be the safest option with boiled rice? 12 weeks til hols, got to do it!! xx

    homemade burgers=yum!

    I made some last week, they're great aren't they? I put in a bbq shotz sachet into the mince too which made them really tasty. I had them with sweet potato chips too, was so filling and as you said they feel naughty but they're not!
  132. S

    You know when you're a bit obsessed when.......

    you go rooting through the bin to find packaging so you can work out the syns value!Not a nice activity when there are tea bags/haddock skin/veg peelings on top of it :eek:. Anyone else doing bizzare things in the name of weight loss?!?

  135. S

    What have i done :(

    I think a blow out can't hurt every so often. If you get back on track as soon as poss, cut back the syns to 5-10 per day, go on a couple of nice long walks this week and i wouldn't be suprised if you could lose those pesky 2lbs from last week! Why not write down a few new recipes and give those...

    so sick of going up and down and it's my fault : (

    How long have you been doing sw and how much have you lost/gained?

I know it sounds simple...

    Chocolate

    Do you and your dh actually like it enough to use up your syns on it? If not just pass it on to friends or relatives and treat yourselves to something you really enjoy.

I went for the fish but it would have been far...
