    DELETE PLEASE

    We discussed flexible syns and how they work. We also talked about even though a lot of us do a lot of body magic that doesnt mean we have an excuse to over syn, we still need to stick to the 5 - 15 syns a day rule. This was just what I needed as I convinced myself that a zumba class would burn...

    Slow Cooker Advice

    I love my slow cooker but for some reason any veg that touches the edges burns and is then caked onto the pan, I dont over cook the meal and always use the low setting. I usually make chilli's and stew's in it. Any suggestions??? Anything from the middle of the pot is delish though!! x

    Helping out at meetings

    I help out with the weighing in, dont get anything free. I just get the pleasure of being there an hour longer than anyone else lol! It's great to get to know all the people in your group though and it really does motivate you to go. Even if I'm a couple of minutes late my consultant is on the...

    Harvester steaks

    Oooh what do they do to their steaks??!!! How many syns are their steaks then, I've never thought to look? Maybe they fry the steaks, I have no idea just clutching at straws really. xx

    Harvester steaks

    I used to work at a harvester and they never added anything to the steaks before cooking them. They are grilled so as long as you dont eat the fat it should be ok. Not sure if anyone has more up to date knowledge that'll prove me wrong then fair enough, it was about 8 years ago since i left lol! x

    Can someone check today's menu plz

    Cool, I agree with that statement. Not sure even I could manage a spag bol with loads of veg on the side as well lol! Thanks xx

    Can someone check today's menu plz

    Um not to add another debate in but is it still ok when cooking from scratch to incorporate superfree foods into the recipe and count that as your 1/3 superfree (not an exact science I know, but near enough)? I'm a creature of comfort and all changes make my head spin lol! Thanks x
  200. G

    Can someone check today's menu plz

    Got my new pack last night and from what I understand the 1/3 superfree is a must. Think it's a good idea myself. I have always done EE but never stuck rigidly to the 1/3 rule. I am sticking to it this week and will see how my weight changes. xx
  201. G

    What have you had to eat today?

    Worked it out on the online calculator and the syns online both came up at 1/2 syn. I'm doing Extra Easy today, sorry should have put that in my post. x

    Slow cooker panic

    Think a little bit of water needs to go in with chicken breasts as their a bit smaller and havent got any skin or fat. Lesson learned, right what to cook next................... xx

    Slow cooker panic

    If the meal is ruined I wont mind at all, as i said still learning with the slow cooker, as long as the house is still there then I wont mind. I'm looking for a recipe that I can leave tomorrow without the panic, I'm thinking a stew of some sort, would that be ok left? x

    anyone pregnant following the plan?

    Do you have to pay whilst your pregnant? I heard a rumour that if your a member and become pregnant you dont have to pay during your pregnancy. Hoping to get pregnant with first this year and plan to do SW throughout even if I do have to pay but thought I would ask. x

    Slow cooker panic

    Just in it, I put the veg in first and then the chicken on top. With the pork I ended up with about an inch of juice in the bottom so it cooked in that. The pork was delicious and just fell apart when trying to cook it. I shall let you know the outcome of the chicken when I get home. Hopefully...

    Slow cooker panic

    Yep I'll be home about 6ish. Nope havent put any water in it, wasnt sure if i needed to or not (the panic is coming back).

    6/12 week countdown

    Fruit Flavoured Teas

    Now I know these are free, but are there any weightloss benefits to drinking them?

Do they speed your metabolism up or anything...

    Last Night got a bit carried away

    I know it's not how flexi days are meant to work but rather than beat myself up about days like that, I just try and count up what syns I did have and pop it on my sheet as a flexi day, my C seems happy enough with this because at least you are counting what you've had albeit in hindsight.

  244. G

    Last Night got a bit carried away

    Jeez, thats a lot of syn free days, personally I would either just have it as a flexi day or try and work out how many syns you had and take it off your weekly total. If you've stuck to plan the rest of the week I'm sure 1 meal of 1 day isnt going to do too much damage. I bet you really enjoyed...

    Given up smoking and started slimming world

    I gave up a few weeks into starting Slimming World and went cold turkey. 5 months later I dont even think about it. The worst bit for me was the first 3 weeks! Keep loads of free food and water to hand so when you feel like a ciggie have one or both. Good luck, the cravings will pass. xxx

    Weighing a day early

    True but I'm very impatient and i get disheartened if I dont lose one week. I know it's wrong but i'm more motivated if I've had a loss, if i gain i sometimes just think whats the point. Anyhoo you make a good point with 6/7 one day isnt going to make a massive difference. Funny how slimming...
