Slimming World have a recipe for a Sweet and Sour sauce which tastes exactly like Uncle Ben's Sweet and Sour Sauce. Here is a forum thread about it. In my case, I added 1 red pepper instead of the carrot and pineapple chunks and juice as well.

My recipe for Spag Bol is: - Fry off Extra Lean Beef Mince in a wok with frylight, crumbling a beef OXO cube over it. Once browned off, add onion and garlic and fry for 2-3 mins. Then add 1tbsp of tomato puree (syn it, I think it's 1 syn per tbsp), a tin of chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of...

Mashed potato and swede - Just boil the swede and potato together and mash together after cooking Mashed swede and carrot - again same, boil them together in a pan and then mash I love mashed swede. I guess you could probably do everything you do with potatoes with swede so try roasting...

Mainly for me, but I want to make a head start on loosing weight so when I get married I will look amazing! My OH hasn't proposed yet (9 years!!!!) but I'm hoping he will next year. :D

Wow. You have a huge amount of willpower to give up alllll that! I agree that it's hard to just have a little bit, but I think if I told myself I wasn't going to have it, I would crave it so much more. If I tell myself I can have it, but smaller portions, I don't think i'll mess up. To answer...

Hi I'm 23 and I currently live my boyfriend of 9 years. Used to live in Cwmbran in South Wales, but moved over to South East London for uni and have stayed here. We have two lovely cats called Blim and Kitty. No plans for kids any time soon! lol Would want to get married first! :D :p

I was thinking about something like a thin omelette, but I was worried about it breaking when I roll up the fajita. Hummmm. I've been looking at the syns online and they say that Old El Paso's Soft Flour Tortillas are 7 syns each. and their corn tortillas are 6 syns each. They are the best...

Hey everyone! Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum, feel free to move if so. I have a huge craving for some fajitas for my lunch and I know that the chicken, fajita spice, peppers, cucumber and fat free yoghurt will all be ok, but the wraps are always so many syns and I like...

My boyfriend has an Xbox so I picked it up. It's super heavy! lol How have I been carrying that around all this time?! 9lbs is also the weight of my two cats together. lol A cat on each hip :P

When I first read this thread, I went and googled what weighs 9lbs (the weight I've lost) and discovered I've lost the equivalent of an Xbox. lol Imagine wearing an Xbox games console around your waist! lol :D

I get the same thing from my friends and family, but just be firm with them. Thank them for their kind words about saying you don't need to lose weight (as most of the time they do mean well) but that you are doing this for yourself. It shouldn't matter what other people think. It's your body...

I used to pin up photos of celebs with flat stomachs when I was younger for inspiration but it just made me feel worse when I got to a low point in my weight loss. Even though I try not to compare myself, it is hard, especially when I buy magazines everyweek! lol :D

my inspiration is to be able to fit into clothing that I like and look good. I have always been the larger girl of my group of friends and for once I would love to go on a shopping trip with them and be able to try things on in the changing rooms and not feel like the fat friend. I try not to...

I've lost 9lbs and I've noticed a change. I'm down from a 16/18 to a size 14. Hoping that I'll be down to size 12 in no time!

The recipe says it makes 20 biscuits so 91.5 divided by 20 = 4.5 syns So each biscuit is 4.5 syns. Thanks!!

I've been using my Wii Fit Plus for 9 days now and I love it!! I make sure I do at least 30 mins of exercise a day and I love that it keeps track of my weight, BMI and when I exercised. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It's cheaper and easier than joining a gym or exercise class. It...

Hey everyone! I've got this recipe for biscuits which I've always used with my Mum when baking. I had a go at working out the syns per biscuit and I worked out 3 syns a biscuit. I think this must be wrong as it seems low. Could someone with more experience please check the recipe and...

My BF builds apps for a living! He made one of the Hangman apps on the app store. The Hangman app by Jamsoft is his! Download it! It's fun!

Excluding John and Edward (because we know that the public will never get rid of them) Bottom 2 = Lloyd and Danyl

I am soooooo excited for the new film!! Me and my flatmates got into the books a couple of years ago before all the hype started and we fell in love with Edward and Jacob. Even my BF, who doesn't really read books, has finished all 4 books and can't wait for the films either. Though he doesn't...

I had to change channels!! Most of the contestants this year can't sing!!! The only ones I like this year are Lucie, Stacey, Olly and Joe!

At Christmas I'm always tempted by biscuits, cake and alcohol. Normally Mum leaves mince pies and jam tarts on plates in the living room during the week before Christmas Day and my Mother-in-law always makes a lovely Christmas cake from scratch. She also always has a buffet table laid out for...

My bf builds iPhone apps for a living and I've asked him if he could make one for me. The main problem he would have is that he doesn't know how Syns are worked out. He would need to find out the formula for working them out to put into the code of the app. Also there would be the problem of...

I'm the same. I have this huge blob of a tummy. I haven't had kids, i'm 23!!! I've had this stomach since I before I can remember and I hate it. I wish I could get rid of it, but I'm hoping by losing some weight through Slimming World, that the stomach will at least shrink.

Sorry. Don't have a food diary, but I think there are three main things that helped that 6.5lbs loss. 1) It was the end of * week for me 2) I stuck to my healthy extras and under 15 syns everyday 3) I did 30 mins of exercise on my new Wii Fit Plus everyday, which I hadn't done in previous...

lol Sorry! :P I'm not gunna eat it. Its actually making me think about making my own burgers for lunch. The BK or McDonalds debate was always a conversation I had with my friends. It always split us as half like Bk and half liked McDonalds. lol

Yeah same. But luckily I don't have work today so I have the time to make a nice breakfast. Normally if I had to get up for work, I would have Special K Sustain and semi skimmed milk and an apple.

For Breakfast I had two sausages, two slices of wholemeal bread and a squeeze of ketchup :)

Thanks! :D xx

lol I definitely prefer the chips from McDonalds than BK chips. But I have to agree the BK burgers are tastier. What do you think?

Today is a good day because 1) I don't have to go to work today 2) I went to my weigh in and lost 6.5lbs and am Slimmer of the Week :D I've never lost so much with Slimming World ever!!! I'm so happy.

Stop it! You're making me really want a Quarter Pounder from Maccy D's!!! lol I'm gunna have to make my own burger for lunch now. :) Yummy!! :)

Just got back from my WI. Lost a massive 6.5lbs and I was Slimmer of the Week!! :D *dance* I'm so chuffed. Good luck to everyone else with their Wednesday WI!! xxx

I'm so glad i read this thread!! I've been eating Special K for the last two months thinking it was a HEXB.....poop. Gunna have to look at the list and pick a new cereal! I'm so glad I joined this forum!

I did the same thing! For two weeks I didn't stick to the plan 100% and ended up putting on 4lbs which was a huge leap backwards considering I had only lost 7lbs overall! lol But i am determined to do it! So this week I've tried my hardest to stick to the plan and I've done more exercise this...

Make sure that your kitchen is stocked with only good things. If you're like me, then if it's there it will get eaten. So stock up on everything you will need for your meals and then good snacks. Also as people have said before plan ahead. Plan your meals and stock up with what you need.

Exactly the same as me! Stacks of thick warm buttered toast! *drools*

wow I've made the burgers before, but all the suggestions on here have given me some new ideas! I love the idea of the babybell inside the burger. I mentioned that to my partner and his eye lit up so I have a feel that will be our dinner tomorrow. :D I also never thought to add herbs and stuff...

Chicken Tikka Masala from the 100 Saucy Recipes SW book with rice. I loooooove curry. YUM!

I've got two tattoos currently and I'm always thinking about the next one! I will definitely be getting a tattoo when I've hit my 1 stone target. I really like the idea of the cupcake on the hip. I would probably get some other kind of food though as I'm more of a biscuit girl rather than cake...

I will be getting a tattoo! I'm planning a huge one which will remind me never to put the weight back on! I will also have a huge wardrobe clearout. Clear out all the clothing and underwear that doesn't fit and buy beautiful new fitted clothing that fits the new beautiful body! :D I will...

Another newbie! I'm a 23 year old girl living in South East London, UK. I'm using Slimming World to try and lose weight. I've always been larger, I can't remember the last time I was smaller than a size 14. But now I am determined to get down to a size 12! I do go to the slimming world...
