In addition to one of the previous replies, beans, rice, curry powder (tesco value is nice) and cheese is my favourite all time meal!!!

:worthy: Girls - you are all such an inspiration! Britmum and Honeyoc your recipes are fantastic examples of how SW is unlike any other weight loss plan (I dont use the word die-t!). Please keep the recipes coming - I lap them up!!! :eating:

Thanks for all the replies guys - I really appreciate it!

Hi guys This is my second week doing SW properly. I lost 3lbs in the first week which I was delighted about but half way through this week I feel fatter than I did last week. WI later in the week will tell I suppose. Anyway I was wondering about portion sizes as I was thinking that may be...

I asked about this a while back, Uncle Bens Basmati pouch was 2 syns and the long grain pouch was 1 syn on green (I only do green, so I dont know about red!). Hope this helps

Hi guys - does anyone know the syns in a flake snacksize? They are 135 cals and 7.9g fat 9sat fat 4.9g). Thanks

Sounds scrummy, but would you want a free meal after the last one was so bad??!! :D

:D Ooh, thanks for that. I'd better make the switch to the old extra light if I can halve the syn value! Thanks

Keep weighing those healthy extras! Dont rely on yourself to 'eyeball' the amounts, my eyeballs lie!!! :D

Me too! Slacked far too much recently. I've got eight WI's between now and then - here's to at least 8lbs off! Yey! And not too much of this with the xmas choccies! :17729:

Thats fab thanks guys!

I boiled the water in the kettle but turned the pan down really low when I added the eggs. I think they prob need to be fresh too so the egg stays together perhaps.

I have always been rubbish at cooking eggs (I dont know why, but there are either too far cooked or massively undercooked!!) so when I found BritMums recipe for Poached egg, fried style I just had to try it and it was fantastic - the best cooked eggs I have EVER made! Thanks BritMum! :talk017...

Nutritional info (Im not sure what you need): per 100g (each sachet is 128g): Energy 605kj/143 kcal Protein 6.4g Carbs 23.1g fat 2.8g Saturated fat 0.7g Fibre 4.1g Thanks for the help guys!

Does anyone know how many syns are in this please? I think there are two sachets per box. You add egg and water Thanks!

Hi guys i have a bit of an addiction to Heinz low fat salad cream and used to eat it with EVERYTHING! I'm not quite as bad now, but I still feel I use too many syns on it. Are there different brands that have different amounts of syns per tablespoon? Thanks

On the link, click on the vegetarian days and I think its day 2

I can't believe this either. I have just copied this off the SW website for the menu planner for a week: Full English: Help yourself to a huge bowl of refreshing orange and grapefruit segments whilst preparing yourself a breakfast for a king – Surprisingly Succulent Quorn sausages, a...

Hi everyone Just wondering how much water you guys all try to drink during the day? I often feel bloated so I thought it might be partly to do with not drinking enough. My friend also mentioned that if you do lots of green days (I dont eat meat, so I only do green days) you need extra water. I...

I used quark for my lasagne tonight (I cant stand the stuff normally, too sour for me), I whisked it with some water, salt,pepper and cheese (HE) to make it into the white sauce and it was syn free and fantastic!

I have just made a lasagne tonight, the bolognese sauce I make is just passata, quorn mince, baked beans (sounds vile but its yummy and really filling), worcester sauce, garlic and italian herbs. For the white sauce, I followed a tip I read on here I think which is to whisk a tub of quark...

Hi there Thanks for that! I am sure it will be better from now on to make my own - my OH only likes this sauce from Morrisons, so I thought 'why not? It wont be that bad!' WRONG!!! :sigh:

Yes, thats the one. 16 syns? Crikey! :eek:

Hi guys Does anyone know how many syns are in Morrisons own brand original pasta sauce please? It is just their regular own brand, not value or posh! Thanks

Thanks for the reply Circs. The fridges at work aren't even cold, hence my concern!! Thanks for the syn values, I appreciate it!

Oh sorry! Doh that would help! I either have Uncle Bens long grain or basmati rice (the one that you microwave in two mins) or tesco#s own brand version. Thanks

Thanks for that - brilliant! :)

Hi guys I like to take SW curry to work for lunch. I am always bit concerned about reheating cooked rice so I might start to take those pouches of rice that you micorwave. How many syns might be in one (they have oil added so it doesnt stick together)? I like basmati or long grain and always...

Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe recipe for the batter for toad in the hole? Also, if I make it can I microwave it the next day?

Hi Lisa How is the weight loss going now? I have read some of your recent posts with interest as I have been struggling a bit myself. I am also veggie and always do green days, so I am interested in you following red days and whether it has helped you.

Thats great - I'm chuffed for you! :party0049:

Fingers crossed for you! :happy036:

I dont eat meat, so I always do green days but dont feel I have lost this week. I wonder if I should eat more syns? (Generally have an average of 5 a day over the course of a week)

Also, I have discovered that Maris Piper potatoes work the best for me :drool:

Hi folks Didnt preboil them tonight (was popping to the chippy for OH so couldnt be bothered waiting for that before putting them in the oven), just dried them with kitchen paper and threw them in the oven with frylight at gas 7 for about 35 mins and they were fab! Less washing up too!:)

Thanks for the replies guys. I did them last night (with my curry - mmm). Parboiled them for bout 7 mins then it was about 25-30 mins at gas mark 7. They were much better! :)

:eatdrink051:I made this last night. So easy, yummy and cheap (I used morrisons value mushy peas 15p a can and chopped toms 36p per can). Having leftovers for luch at work today. Looking forward to them asking if I have fallen offf the wagon and have stopped the diet! Ha Ha!

Ooh Im going to have a go at this tonight I think! Yum yum :)

PS - I'm also veggie so only do green days :)

Hi there. It definately works, I've lost 6lbs in a month but was only 9st 9lbs to start with (I'm short!). I have also done ww in the past but used to starve myself all day so I could go to the chippy or have pasta at night! I did need to trust eating so much would work in the beginning though...

Thanks folks! :) What gas mark do you guys use for the oven?

Thanks for that guys! I will try these ideas :)

I made SW chips last night by parboiling them for about 10 mins, draining them and then baking them in the oven at gas mark 8ish. They were OK, but a bit rock hard and there seemed to be no potato left in the middle of some of them!!! :sigh: Does anyone have a fool proof way of making them, I...

Hi guys, I'm going for Pizza and chips after I saw this on Facebook! Thanks to whoever posted this on there! :kissass:

Thanks for the replies guys! :) I cant wait to experiment this weekend!

Hi guys I fancy making either a baked bean or quorn lasagne and was wondering if anyone knows of a free or low syn cheese sauce that can be used for it please? Thanks! :)
