I got 6 boxes of fibre plus today in asda but had to ask if they were on offer 3 for £2 as it didn't say on the shelf. The lady on the self service till checked for me and yes they were so went back and got a few more boxes.

Wellit' normally the way, we never think of think until someone suggests it . Like I had never thought of roating beetroot before.

Please see my other posts on RED Curly Kale. I posted then realised it said Red. My posting was for Potato and Curly Kale cakes xx

They also froze really well and I found them brilliant as a lunch with a bit of fresh chopped tomato salad or fresh tomato salsa. I just cooked them from frozen.

I mixed mine with mashed potato and chopped red onion and combined it all with a beaten egg and seasoning then used a large cookie cutter as a mould and made potato and kale cake out of them then baked then in the oven untill crispy and brown

Why not have a look on the Quorn website for inspiration. If need be just tweek them to make them SW friendly xx

I have taken my bust,underbust,waist,bum/hips measurement today as I thought I could redo them every so often as an incentive to carry one, especially if I have a period of STS as I am going to join the local gym and do more walking with my youngest daughter so may see changes in inches /...

:welcome2::welcome2:Hi Clair, welcome to minimins and to SW. Don't be afaid topost any questions you may have or search through all the 1000's of posts on here. I would suggest reading the thread "Advice for newcomers as this info has been written brilliantly and not by a consultant but by...

Sorry, I can't help you on that as I have never made it. It is a recipe I found in here once and liked the sound of it x Let me know what it is like please.

I tend to put salad with moussaka or lasagne and it kills two birds with one stone so to speak

Definatley going to try the roasted beetroot a I LOVE beetroot :-D

I preseume that you mean that the packet of Asda batter mix is 12 syns when made up as it is made with an egg and water. Hope so as 1 syn per Yorkie pud is FAB !

Glad that you liked it and the way you served it does sound fab, think I may have to steal your idea and do it for tea tomorrow.

Glad to hear that you freezer is now full Vicki, mine is filling up slowly, ready for rejoining class on Tuesday xx

You're welcome.

I mix the egg, milk,vanilla nutmeg or cinnamon and a little sweetener together and put it in the fridge before I take the kids to school and then make my french toast when i get back so that all the flavours have had time to combine. I let the bread soak in it while i finish sorting my youngest...

I have also used one on the internet, if i remember right it is called magic mirror and you can add weight aswell as take it away so you can see what you look like if you hadn't joined WW and continued in the way you did before.

Fraggle1805 - Don't forget that there are always people on here that will help you out with propoints info and other info so don't worry that you won't get the answers you need should your 2 week trial run out before getting a calculator. All the best with your weightloss journey

Yippeeeeeeee !!!!! I've done it. I went and registered with WW this morning and can't weight to get my head around the new plan and watch my self slowly disappearing over time. Congratulations ot everyone else who joins WW this week or who is already joined xx:grouphugg: :party0019:

Thanks everyone for the info. I'm off to Farmfoods to stock up on fillets and pieces at least as yesterday they had them on a BOGOF offer.

Good luck with your kick start for Christmas. I went and joined WW today so I'm spending today reading through the info and attempting to do a menu for the next few days of week if possible ready for day number 1 tomorrow. Hopefully doing it this way I'll get a good weightloss next week.

If you look at the bottom of the posts of some people there is a "thanks" button with a yellow thumbs up just click on the relevant person post

Hi, Can someone please tell me how many points quorn is, either the pieces or fillets. I love quorn as it's a great alternative to meat sometimes and if low fat so U'm hoping it works out ot low points. Thanks :help2: :thankyou:

Thanks everyone , wish you all well with your weightloss journeys

Thanks pinkyfluff. I have now got it on my phone ready for me joining class tomorrow.

I have just printed a voucher off the ww website and they include one for you to give to a friend.

Hi Everyone, I know that the link for the android phone app was advertised on here recently but can someone please put it up again so that I can load it onto my phone. Thanks:thankyou:

Thanks for that pinkyfluff. I was looking at it while I was 1/2 asleep .

Pinkyfluff, what an excellent incentive you have. You go for it and show your ex just what they have missed out on x

Hi Pinkyfluff, The grid that I am on about is in the shop sub-section in the our supermarket range. When you click on the where to buy button another window opens with these 2 pages of grids. All I can possibly think it means is low, medium and high but still can't work out why that is...

Hiya, some people have tweeted articles the links to the articles in the papers if you look up WW uk on Twitter.

Can anyone please tell me what the L H M means on the grid of products on the WW website. There is no legend as to what these letters mean on the grid. Thanks

Well I am joining WW on Wednesday Morning and I have set myself a target date of Mid August 2012 to reach my target weight as I have several stone to lose. Why Mid August ? My husband and I are booking a holiday for us to Lanzarote to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary ( but this time we...

I am joining WW on Wednesday morning so have decided that my first day will be on Thursday so that i have 24 hours to get my head around not only the ins and outs of WW ( having done slimming world up to now) but to also try and get my head round Propoints and the new plan. Saying this I will...

Zebredy, I understand where you are coming from. I am a stay at home mm to 3 young kids, the eldest is 6 and te youngest is 18 months. My hubby and I an't afford for me to go out to work ( that's if there are any out there to fit around having small kids) so we only have his wages and what we...

Hi, you can print a voucher for either free registration or a reduced rate monthly pass off the ww website as that is what I am doing. Hope this helps x

Thanks everyone for the advice / info. I am going to join next Wednesday :-)

Thanks, think i will join the morning one and see how it goes for collecting my little boy then change to an evening one if needs be.

People shouldn't knock the vouchers, when compared to the cost of treating people with weight problems the cost to the NHS is probably loads lower when you consider all the costs like wages,hospital running costs etc etc.

WW Vouchers Imso, I have booked an appointment with the practice nurse at my doctors about ww vouchers and I am hoping to get them if my local pct has them. I know they have the sw ones so presume they have the ww ones aswell. I do not give a monkey's who sees me with them if i get them or...

Can someone please tell me how long each meeting / class last for. I have seen a local meeting advertised on a Wednesday morning at 10am but I have to pick my son up from nursery at 11:20 and don't drive. Is it worth attending that class or would it be more beneficial to attend an evening class...

That was very nice of her and yes it has brightened my day aswell. Thanks

How about melting the alpen bars pouring them into a cling film lined ramekin dish, then put a couple of sliced strawberries or other fruit on top then pour some syn free ice cream such as toffee flavour over the top of the alpen bars. Set in the freezer for a short time, could even pour alittle...

Advanced office password Recovery is some software that my OH uses at work.Go to Password recovery, forensics, system and security software from ElcomSoft : recover or reset lost or forgotten password, remove protection, unlock system Hope that helps you crack your password problem Lynne x

Well I have finally got to resetting my weightloss ticker ready for my weightloss recording for 2010. I have also created a new one to record my weightloss for my my mini goal which is my 8th wedding anniversary in August. I am trying as many different motivational things as possible in the...

I have spoken to my Oh and he said well it depends on which version of office you used to create the excel sheet. Let me know and I will try and help you out by picking myOH's brain as IT is his job.

Hannah Waterman's personal trainer was Kevin Adams, Jade Goody's good friend. Well if you had a hunky guy like him to run with wouldn't you be motivated to train hard !

Thanks for letting me know your experience of the system as I am going to purchase it when the OH next gets paid as he is really interested in it also. Good luck with your weightloss and I look forward to your next update. xx

I have been watching the Paul McKenna programmes I can make you thin and while watching I realised that his four rules can be used alongside sw.I mean eat when hungry,eat what you want,eat consciously and stop when full. Not rocket science when you stop and think about it. Sounds like pure...

Thanks for letting us all know, will send the OH to try and get some when the snow clears

Hi gobolino, can you please tell me / us which shop you managed to get them from. Thanks and happy new year !

Hiya, you can get the puffed wheat in asda but you can also get them in home bargains and they are way cheaper in there

I had a set of the digital scales for christmas that measure body fat %, water %, bmi and other info. You input your height, age,activity level and then all the info can be transferred from the scales on to your pc which then produces a graph so you can see your achievments ! The scales not...

Thanks for the website link......... I have decided to change the way I look at my weightloss journey - going for the positive attitude rather than get fed up at the slightest gain etc. Any experience in one way or another can be turned into a good and helphul one, even the bad ones

Remember that from small acorns grow big trees - or in other words each lb lost turns into 1/2 stone then a stone etc. Which in turns makes people even more fabulous than they are now. Or think of being a butterfly in the pupa stage and slowly working towards emerging as a butterfly. I find...

Have a look on Amazon because that is where my OH got mine from x

I'm up for that especially as I have 4 weeks till I am 40 so I really want to get a good weightloss for the atleast.

SE express has Vanished ! :D Well I am not going back to class after the new year, partly becausse our consultant changed and the atmosphere etc in class changed and partly because I don't really get on with EE even though you keep being told that everyone can get on with it etc etc. And the...

I can't see why it would do if you follow the Red, Green, EE or Success Express plans 100 % why the weight would or should come back.Apart from any other reason it wou;dn't make sense for SW to use the plan as a kickstart out of a rut solution

Fast forward is based on set meal choices that have a number value and you have to eat a set total of numbers per day but you have to decide on your meals at the start of the week and can't change your mind. I got stuck in a rut and considered following the fast forward plan but after reading it...

I have a little bit of quark spread on half a bagel with sliced fruit on the top. The fruit distracts from the taste of the quark and it saves using your syns on low fat spread. But saying that though I like the taste of quark.

:welcome: to our Party !!!!!:party0023: :party0049: I have made the strawberry slices out of the 40 Fabulous Recipes booklet that was with the latest SW magazine and some falafel with a chilli dip for out party which is tomorrow night (Wednesday) as we are having a red theme so have to wear...

My consultant called into my GP's and saw the practice nurse the one day that we were out doing a leaflet drop. She was given all the information about it etc and I know of several people, myself included that have since been and got the countdown vouchers from her. It is not only in your...

I think in that case then, perhaps we should all email SW telling them what we think of the food directory as it is now and perhaps they may listen to us. Focus groups as far as I have seen on the tv consist of about 10 people or so at a time and considering the overall number of people that are...

Hopefully if enough people make their feelings known about the new style book SW may take notice and revert back to the style we all know and love !

The difference is that the old book was in the sections such as dairy, biscuits, cakes, rice & pasta, kitchen cupboard, meat,fish etc etc. So if you wanted to how many syns were in a bakewell tart you just went straight to cakes and then the manufacturer. So it was easier to compare different...

Just incase anyone from SW reads whats going on in this forum, I thought I would start a thread requesting that they do the next food directory in the style of the previous one not the current one. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE PRODUCT CATERGORIES FOLLOWED BY MANUFACTUR. IT IS FAR EASIER TO USE...

I have kept last years food directory and have the current one aswell and havlf the time end up looking in the old one because I get frustrated trying to find what I am after in the new one as the layout is a pain in the backside if you are in a hurry to find something. Far more sensible to just...

Hiya, I do the WI's at our class and we make a fuss of every weight loss no matter how small or big. We have a bell by the scales and anyone can ring it be it to celebrate a good weight loss or if the person has maintained after a stressfull week or for any other reason. We always make it...

They mentioned it very briefly but they can't publicise it too much cos of the other slimming clubs etc, you know the old showing favouritism I think

Did anyone see the couple on This Morning that had lost 14 stone between them. When I started to watch it I thought I recognised them and I was right, they aqppeared in th SW magazine a while ago. At last one of a few men that realise that it's not just a case of eat healthy and do exercise and...

If you want to make some scones, then take a look at the recipe for yogurt scones by Donnie46. It is a lovely recipe and uses mullerlight yogurt or basically anyother yogurt you like.

Definately won't regret it. I am just making my 3rd lot in less than a week !

Hiya and welcome to SW and minmins,Sorry we aren't allowed to put the password on here.The best thing you can do is text your consultant and ask her what the password is. Failing that last weeks password should still work for a week. They do that so that people who go on holiday etc can still...

Well I tend to put 200g into a lunchtaker pot as a portion if I am just eating by itself or with fruit and in the berry or apricot flavours that is 1 syn. So out of one sachet of mix you would get 5 or 6 x 200g portions I would say but to be honest I haven't worked it out properly because all...

We are having a party in class based round the colour red, so we have had to get our thinking caps on for that one. Really looking forward to the class party as our class is like a great big party every weeks, so much fun and laughter !

How can you be altering the state of the lasagne sheets making these crisps/nachos because you are cooking them before cutting into triangles and sraying with Fry light. I have made these before and they are nice but not moreish like pringles or doritos so I doubt if anyone could sit and eat...

Easiyo yogurt Had my Easiyo delivery come today from QVC and 5 mins later there was a jar of it in the flask container doing what it does ready for me to eat it tomorrow. Can't wait, yummy apricot flavour !!!!!!!

Perhaps it's something to do with SW's 40th birthday

I am surprised that someone hasn't seen Dirty Dancing or even Ghost.they are both iconic films ! Judimac you have to watch Dirty Dancing to see why so many females lusted after Patrick !

RIP Patrick Swayze! You can now dance in peace in heaven after yourcouragous battle against pancreatic cancer. We have lost a true gentleman and your wife Lisa has lost a most loving husband. But dirty dancing will continue to live on.:angel:

Danone Shape feel fuller yogurts £1 for 4 in Asda.

That list for places you can buy easiyo is out of date because it says Julian Graves is at Cheshire Oaks but the last time we went Julian Graves wasn't there because that was one of the reasons we went.

No probs, you never know between us all we may find the best overall deal and save us even more money than what we already save in making our own yogurt Thanks Donnie46 for all you advice etc in your postings

www.bakersandlarners.co.uk also sell easiyo

Well I think so because it's you make it yourself you can make it to the strength of flavour to suit you so if you like strong strawberry flavour for instance you just leave the jar you make it in in the water bath cannister for longer so you can make it to your own individual taste. Thanks...

Vixxster, if you can't get a chip crisper in Home Bargains, try BM's (Bargain Madness) if you have one by you as I got mine from there for £1.50ish.

Just ordered 8 sachets of assorted low fat yogurts,an extra jar,2 lunch takers, 2 fruit squirts and the yogurt to diet for cookbook. Can't wait for it all to arrive, roll on next week !

For anyone who doesn't know what easiyo yogurt is then go to www.qvcuk.co.uk and do a search for easiyo and watch a video demo of how easy it is to make your own yogurt.

I love yogurt and really love making my own using the Easiyo yogurt system because it is yogurt with all the good bacteria in it and it lasts for about 2 weeks in the fridge and Yes you can get make it syn free. Slimmers natural yogurt is syn free and alot of the low fat flavoured ones are...

After posting, I found the website it is www.weightmirror.com for anyone that is interested

I remember seeing someone posting the details for a website where you could upload a full length pic of yourself and then you could gain or lose weight and see the differences. It was something like magic mirror. There was a pic of a girl in a pair of jeans that you could use if u didn`'t have...

Thanks for this recipe Donnie46, made a batch earlier using the limited edition summer berries mullerlight and they were delish with quark and a smidge of raspberry jam

Hi FernXx, I just turkey mince for bolognaise and it does taste abit different as you would expect but it's it nice or my family think it is. I get my TM from Asda and it is £1.60 for 450g and on theasda website it says Turkey mince (lean). Hope this helps

I remember seeing a picture of the front of a notebook / journal someone has posted on here where the picture was to do with chocolate. Could someone please tell me where I can buy it from. Thanks for your help !:D

Morrisons have got the offer on quorn fillets untill 8th September

They also recommend on EE that you add either 1/3 or 2/3's ( can't remember exactly) of your plate with superfree foods to help with the weight loss,

morrisons had got quorn fillets for 94p on Sunday, hope they still have later

Donnie46, I will post the Thai quorn curry recipe as soon as I get chance as I have to go and get my body magic in as my consultant as got me helping to deliver SW leaflets for the latest promotion ! Just call me super woman :superwoman: LOL

No problem Sarah-Jayne

those thinish people or the ones that don't really give a monkeys about weight that say well all you have to do is eat this and that and do this and that and it will drop off you, what's all the stressing about ? they infuriate me cos when you try to explain it's not that easy and there are...

I say day but I think it may take me a weekend to get through all the list, even with me being a catering manager before 2 of my 3 kids came along.

Hi, here is the recipe for chicken cake, which is what I meant by chicken pie (was trying to type and feed my 4 month old daughter her bottle of milk at the same time). I got the recipe off BritMumInCanada,not sure if that is where it originated.:thankyou: Here it is : Ingredients 4 skinless...

Hi, I was just wondering how many people have a baking day where they do loads of baking / cooking of SW dishes for the freezer. I usually have 1 at the start of the month after pay day. Here is my list of dishes for my baking day at the weekend: 1) Tea fruit cake 2) Sweet potato chips /...

I am just wondering if it would be possible to freeze these in the ramekins then how fab to be able to just whip one out the freezer and bake off like you do normal frozen lemon meringues. Great way to curb the sweet tooth if this is the case and you can manage to keep the rest of the family's...

I made my choccy version using 2 scahets of highlights chocolate and no vanilla as I hadn't got any to hand. Instead of whisking the egg whites in I gently folded them (otherwise you are knocking all of the air that you have spent time putting into them out) in after adding a couple of...

15 mins and my chocolate verion of the cake will be ready :-)

For anyone that is concerned abot using raw egg whites because of pregnancy or anyother reason. I presume that you can use the dried egg white as this has been pasteurised. and I have checked dried egg white is still free on all plans.

I have frozen quite a few different yogurts with success and they are all gorgeous. The one with the black cherry underlayer isn't quite as successful because the cherry bit goes watery so loses some of it's flavour but otherwise they freeze within 2-4 hours depending on how cold they were to...

Yep, the choc orange and choc vanilla are free but the dark chocloate sprinkled with the black cherry underlayyer are 2 syns each .

You could do the potatoes into wedges in exactly the same way. But you can also par cook the chips/ wedges in the microwave for 7-8 mins instead of par boiling them.

Have been thinking, if I am gonna save all the odds and sods that I could have eaten from the kids meals etc then better freeze what I can otherwise by next wednesday's WI it will apart from anything else stink ! So far resisted some mini choc weetabix bites, 3 fich dippers and a single stick...

I'll join in with this as I am completing my Food diary 100% for the 2nd week running.Completed my food diary 100% last week and lost 2lb so I am interested to see if this will change with more water being drunk. I'll be one of the laboratory guinea pigs in this experiment. :-)

Our consultant gave us the sheet with the Mabel story on it a couple of weeks ago but in it the woman is called Mrs Good but it's the same type of story. I will scan it and then put it on here if I can unless it is likely to get deleted cos SW gave it me. If anyone knows if they will delete it...

What a fab idea, I think I am going to try and do it this week althought better not leave the bag by the bin or my 5 year old and 2 year old may throw stuff in there aswell just to make it look even worse. Then come next wednesday I'll take it to my weigh in and show everyone....bound to shock...

Hi, I have just been on the Tesco website and got the nutritional info for bother the cheese sauce and the vegetable gravy. I pu all this info into the syns calculator and it came out with the following frsults. Cheese sauce - 1 1/2 syns per 100g reconstituted (made up) Vegetable Gravy - 1 Syn...

Yeah !!! Slim Fit Jeans It is true what many have said, your confidence does soar no more baggy tops etc to hide my slowly decreaing lumps and bumps. It may have time for the lumps and bumps to appear but it takes as long if not longer to make them disappear so let's all celebrate out successes...

Saying that I did try and eat as healthy as my body and the baby would let me....... those bags of midget gems just kept winking at me in the shop so had to have them on a regular basis.

I rejoined SW after the birth of my 3rd baby, she was 4 weeks old and i felt great. I had been going to SW when i found out I was pregnant but stopped going purely and simply because I wanted to enjoy my last pregnancy and not worry about my weight in that way. I have taken my daughter to...

Thanks Donnie46.

Yeah !!!!!!! I have just brought my very first pair of slim fit jeans,and they look and feel so good. It's not that I haven't worn jeans before because I have but they have always been bootcut ones as they are wider on the leg. I have never dreamt that I would be able to get into slim fit ones...

Go on do it and join SW. Once you walk through the doors, you will realiseone thing it's not a group thing......it is a meeting together of people who become ur friends very quickly and understand what u are doing etc because they are doing exactly the same thing. One thing is certain, once you...

Hiya, when you rejoin you are given the choice of all the plans.red,green,extra easy,mix&match and success express. Like always it is totally upto you which plan you follow.There is nothing wrong with doing a mixture of red, green and extra easy. I have done that this week...

why don't u text or phone ur consultant for the password and explain the problem

Hi MooMoo, Congratulations on your new arrival and I can tell you it is possible to lose weight when you have a 4 week old baby, I returned to slimming world when my 3rd baby was 4 weeks old. I had a few people asking me if I was mad and replied nope.......just getting me back ! I have lost a...

Hiya, can some one please tell me how I can put more than one weight loss badge on here please because I have tried but I only seem to be able to make one appear. Thanks !

Did you have your bread dry or buttered, because if it was buttered then u need to syn the butter. what size bread was it - 400g or 800g. Was the bolognaise sauce made with passata etc etc or was it a shop brought one. Shop brought sauces tend to have a fair number of synss in them becasue of...

Hiya, did u have any milk today because that is a HEXa

Yes only green and EE as polenta is not free on red days. You would need to work out the syn value for a red day but off the top of my head I think they work out to about 3 syns but don't quote me on that

low fat cottage cheese/quark :wave_cry: I have mixed quark with 2 mullerlight yogurts, any flavour but the vanilla with dark chocolate sprinkles and black cherry underlayer are 2 syns all the rest are free. Then dissolved a sachet of gelatine in a little boiling water, allow to cool slightly...

That looks absolutely gorgeous, going to the butchers tomorrow to get some chicken,prepare it and have it for tea the next day so the flavours really absorb into the meat. Thanks for a great recipe !

The Asda light yogurts (the ones with the white label) that are usually 3 for £1 are free on SW.

Definately going to try this, as I love semolina so hpe that I will love this. Think I am going to try adding some defrosted forest fruits to it when it's ready for some extra zing !

I would say that it's not being used as a flour, I have been thinking about this recipe and if you think about it logically, what the muffins are actually made from is flavoured polenta and the eggs are basically just a setting agent.Because in most cakes, you use self raising flour to aid the...

Hiya, I have just put in the nutritional vales for East End Cornmeal, Coarse (polenta ) and put in that it has a Green Free Food allownace (polenta, dried). Then inserted all of the other information form the packet per 100g and it came out as being FREE on GREEN and EXTRA EASY and 16 syns on...

Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to put more than 1 weight award flag on to my posting pease because I can put one on but when i try to add another one the first one gets deleted. Thanks

Farm Foods have got Del Monte frozen Summer fruits, blueberries,tropical fruit and pineapples,320g per box at 2 for £3. Normal price is £2.49 each so well worth buying.

If you're a fan of fruity malt loaf, you'll love this terrific recipe for Weetabix cake. Packed with juicy sultanas and mixed spices, who would have thought breakfast cereal could taste so good? And at only 3½ Syns per slice, it makes a wonderful snack or pudding! Serves: 12 Syns per serving...

Hi, If you can logon to the SW website, the weetabix cake recipe and loads of other recipes are on there in the members area. Hope this helps.

The vanilla yogurt with dark chocolate with cherry underlayer is 2 syns.

Hi fillimum, Thanks for letting me know that you thought my idea was an excellent one.

I am getting so many recipes in my file from the SW magazines and other places I think I will be starting another recipe file for me to keep them all in. I thinnk I will end up with 3 the rate I am going....... 1 for Red,1 for Green and 1 for Extra Easy days. It's just a great feeling having...

Hi Everyone. I have passed all the relevant details onto my consultant from the pack of East End cornmeal (polenta) and she is going to try and get the SW answer as to if it is syn free or has a syn value so as soon as I know anything will let you know. I have also emailed East End Foods to...

Slimming Wolrd Butchers Thanks to everyone for your help. I really appreciate it as I don't really like supermarket sausages even the low fat low syn ones. Will let you know what I think.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I really appreciate it as I don't really like supermarket sausages even the low fat low syn ones. Will let you know what I think.

Hi everyone ! I was wondering if anyone knew where ther are some butchers shops in Liverpool that are SW accrediated so that they can produce SW sausages / burgers etc. I have heard that there are some but I don't really know where they are. Thanks for your help, hope this post will help...

As soon as I can get an answer one way or another I will post it on here so everyone knows where we stand.

Thanks for lettting us know, I have just forwarded this info to my SW consultant as the class was given the recipe a couple of weeks ago so she will need to tell them this info before everyone eats loads of them thinnking they are free.

You may have had a bad week this week up to now, that doesn't mean that the week has to turn into a case of suicide diet watch. I had a bad week a couple of weeks ago, where the biscuit barrel called my name everytime I walked past. So just like the films where there is always an antidote to the...

Hi all, I have made some muffins today using 2 mint chocolate options (4 syns), a 500ml tub of natural yougurt and 2 eggs instead of 1 (like chellxx said) and no vanilla. The muffins came out lighter than with 1 egg and really minty. Using fairy cake cases I easily made 18 cakes out of a single...

Hi Shawanna & Cara08, You wouldn't be able to use ready made polenta as it is a block that you slice up and for this recipe you need to mix the polenta with the other ingredients. You can get the right polenta in Morrisons in the ASian section. It is the East End brand and is 36p a bag. Hope...

Hi, I have looked on the SW website and semolins is not free. It is 5 syns per 28g on red and green. I am not sure the muffins would work with semolina but if they do you would have to work out the syn value. Let us know how you get on

glad you like the idea apart from everything else it saves storage space. !

I wasn't being rude I was only stating what other people had stated in previous posts and I am sorry if to you it seemed that it was rude. If healthy extras are involved in any recipes on this website then it is normally stated as such. Polenta is free and I have copied the description from the...

It is the coarse grain polenta that is used in the recipe for the syn free muffins as has several people have said in posts on the subject, coarse grain polenta is free. There for the muffins are free, if the thread is read from the beginning it would have been noted that this question has been...

Mint Choc Syn Free Muffins Hi all, After what I felt was a success with the lemon and lime muffins, I have been inspired to try making some other flavours. I have spoken to my SW consultant about this and she reckons that they would still be syn free, i am going to try combining some peppermint...

I have loads of cookbooks as I am was a catering manager before having kids. I like being organised and having set places for my recipes just helps me to try and keep my healthy eating plan on track as I know what I can and can't have depending on the day ! May seem barmy but it seems to work...

If making the lemon and lime ones, I forgot to say not to add the vanilla extract otherwise the flavours will clash.

I grated the zest off 1 lemon and 1 lime and squeezed the juice out of both. I actually used natural yogurt instead of mullerlight because that was what I had in at the time. Made the mixture in the normal way but added the juice and zest to the mixture aswell. Then just cooked them as...

Hiya, I have found a recipe for coconut macaroons which should work using sweetener instead of the sugar as in the recipe as I know that lemon meringue can be made in such a way. Not enritely sure how much sweetener so i would say trial and error. Ingredients: 2 Egg Whites 5-6oz Sugar...

East End Foods Cornmeal (polenta) If you go to www.ocado.com you can do a search for cornmeal and it will show you two packs including pictures. I used the dark green one which is the coarse version. Hope that this helps you in finding it in a shop near you. :fingerscrossed:

I am not sure how they would work out using self raising flour ( 4.1/2 syns for 28g on Red or Green). I eventually found polenta in Morrisons in the Asian foods section ( by the curry sauces etc). It was produced by East End and on the bag it said Cornmeal (polenta was written in brackets...

Hi , I didn't have too many HEXB because I worked out my syns for my potatoes but just forgot to put it on my diary. They worked out to 8 1/2 syns. Thanks for pointing it out though, have a great day ! xx

I have worked out that there is 179 Days until I reach my big 40th birthday and I am trying my hardest to achieve my target weight by then as a birthday present to myself so to help I am doing my own online food diary. Thursday 23rd July Red Day : HEX A: 250ml s/s Milk, 6 x Laughing Cow...

I would think your best option is to use the syn calculator if you can which I presume you can do if you are doing SW online.The calculator tells you what nutritional information that you will need to input along with portion size etc. If you can use the calculator then this woiuld be your best...

Thanks for your help, has you will see I have done it.

Can anyone please tell me how you put the statictics bit on your profile as according to mine it says I haven't lost any weight and I have. It's a bit disheartening not seeing it when I can see other peoples weight losses. Thanks xx

Freezing Syn Free Muffins Hi Everyone, Just to let you know, I made some lemon and lime muffins which were delicious.I made 36 of them, I did bag them up individually then put them in a freezer bag before putting in the freezer. I have found they freeze successfully and just allowing them...

Thanks for your replies, it's nice to know other people like the idea.

Hi, I try to put the name of the recipe and picture and other relevant info like syn value, number of portions and the plan to which it is applicable to on the one side then write the recipe on the reverse. I think a picture helps to get my interest in the dish especially if it is one i haven't...

:)HI, I have found a great way of stopping me being stuck for inspiration for meal ideas when in grocery shopping. I have brought myself an small index card holder and index cards (£1.00 from Asda) and wrote in or stuck in any recipes that I like including syn values and the relevant plan.This...

Freezing Syn Free Muffins Hi ,Can anyone please tell me if they have ever tried freezing the syn free muffins ( that is if the muffins have survived for that long before being eaten). I am hoping that they can be frozen then I can make a great big batch of them to last some of the summer...
