Wow some yummy ideas !!! I've just started working full time on shifts but these are all things I can prepare before hand and still have something interesting to eat. Something I really like which I nicked from morrisons salad bar I just made it more slimmingworld friendly is pasta precooked...

I think it is 5 syns if you have it sugar free or 6.5 upwards for normal syrup. I love that I'm spending more time reading through the posts even if they are a year old like the last one I posted on o_0. I normally only drink lattes etc when I am travelling long distances and I don't always eat...

I work for the company that produces the drench drinks and they do it as a preservative. I too have made the mistake of drinking them down as we can have them for free. I'm going to try and limit myself to one per day max !

Work was a nightmare today. I work for britvic soft drinks and there was two lines running today. I've only been in the job less than a week and a half and as quality technician running upstairs from the lab down the production is definitely going to get me fit ! I've also realised that the...

1st time doing a 12 hour shift then went to my mums weight loss surgery group I hadn't had tea by this point and caved by having a mcdonalds. Only bad thing I've had today just means I've used up treats for the next couple of days lol !!!

I love this cheese !!!! I've not started slimming world properly again yet but shall make another post about that :D To be honest for me as someone who does find it hard to eat all their syns at times (I know you don't have to) 5 syns would be an ideal snack for me or even if it can be used as...

Hi everyone, I hope this is in the right place. But I was just wondering if there was anyone still about that takes part in fitbug ? I was referred to a weight management programme by my gp. I had my appointment with these today. I had four options one being weight watchers, second fitbug...

Hey can you use polenta instead of couscous or bread or would it be synned ? Also when I made a similar version of these I just gave them a good spray with frylight and cooked them in a 180 oven for 20 mins to half an hour these were really yummy but I think I personally needed more seasoning in...

Hi all I've made a very similar version but instead of using bread crumbs etc I used polenta and fry light does anybody know if polenta has any syns ? I would look at my slimmingworld pack but can't find it - thanks all in advance xxx

My mums just been telling me about a weight loss surgery friend how makes this due to the high protein that they need so decided to come on here to see if I could see the recipe will deffo try this out when I've got some cottage cheese thanks everyone :) xxx

Just to reiterate what has already been said, I went to my gp the other day and in order to have PCOS you need to have two out of 3 things which include symptoms, Polycystic ovaries on the ultrasound and also biochemical markers ie your hormones not being correct. The majority of the time when...

Hey, Thank you everybody for your replies. I'm really looking forward to hopefully being referred. I've got to have some blood tests first which I assume is to check for diabetes high cholesterol triglycerides etc. Which have normally being perfect despite my weight. Obviously weight loss...

Hi everybody I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but I wasn't quite sure where to shove it. I was just wondering if anyone had been referred to one of these by their gp - how did they get on with it, did you lose much weight, I know being referred to this is the steps to weight loss...

I do understand where your coming from. Ok I've nowhere near lost the amount of weight you have but even losing that little bit of weight has made me more confident. I've just finished my university course but within the last year I've been out more times than I had done in the two years...

Feeling so low and fed up :( Well the title says it all really I'm really fed up. I went to my old doctors today as I had to reregister after moving back from university. I went in to see the nurse. While she was typing up my details she asked to get on the scales. It came up with 107kgs which...

Hiiii everybody :). I joined slimming world online last monday again after I did groups last year. I did my weigh in this morning and lost 6.5 lbs at first I was disappointed as it wasn't as much what I lost when i started the group. But then looking back at this week I had pizza and...

Heyyy ladies, I've been a previous paster here but I've not been about for a while, I also have the hair around my thighs and about my bum etc, the hair had got less when I lost some weight, but eventually the PCOS got worse again even though I am at the same weight. I've never been at a...

Sorry that ive only just seen this - thank you very much it was exactly the day i wanted nice and quiet :) xxx

Hey guys :) Can I join in too ive set my own target of loosing 2 pounds a week leading up to christmas so roughly 36 pounds i ll probably weigh in on a monday so i ll let you know how i get on. thanks everyone :) Lizzie xxx

And fell off the bandwagon :break_diet: Going home to my parents for the summer after uni was my downfall, about 2 months before I had had a really bad relationship breakdown and for those months I held it together relatively well kept on with my dieting etc, but as soon as I got to my...

HEb are exactly that healthy extras which mean its not the end of the world if you miss them out as they are optional, obviously having them is better for you but once in a while wont hurt :) Good Luck xxx

Although i ve been a member of slimming world for about two months now i joined on buffet night in march, but missed aprils at my group. So tuesday is my first . . . And i ve absolutely no idea what to make for it, as i live by myself i generally dont make anything in bulk otherwise i ll eat it...

I ve never heard anything in my life like that !!!! Its total rubbish sorry to the previous poster but where ever you heard that needs seriously looking at =/ So long as its part of a healthy balanced diet there is no reason why you cant eat alot of it, but there is strong evidence for a high...

i lost 5 and a half this week which im chuffed over having a few rubbish weeks food wise im back on track now :)

eeek i know that duck is the worse thing you could have peking pancakes are 30 syns per 375g serving !!!! Crispy duck isnt so bad at 10.5 syns but it doesnt leave you much else lol !!!

If they are flavoured they are 0.5 syns, its only the fat free natural that is syn free HTH x

I think it depends on what you have, dont forget if you have noodle based dishes with veg this is gonna be a lot less syns then sweet and sour deep fried balls for instant ie beef and mushrooms is 4.5 syns for 380g serving, plain boiled noodles are free. So if you try have more rice and noodles...

Hey ladies, Ive also got PCOS but its not really affected me overly greatly til i had a miscarriage recently, I say not really affected me yeah ok i have all the symptoms, hairyness, acne being over weight obviously and messed up periods, but when i found out it struck me more was it to do with...

Hey siobhan, Im also not on anything for my pcos, but im on SW and im still loosing weight, i cant do one of these low carb diets, so basically im just sticking to a well balanced healthy diet and its working for me so far, so cant really give you any tips for a low carb diet, But good luck...

Hey people i also joined on tuesday, hopefully getting some sort of a loss next week fingers crossed :) x

I worked out my local one as 49.44 as they are only 4.12 a week on the 12 week course things so that is how im joining, how do you normally pay for that amount of money ???

Thanks for this its starting make more sense for when i finally start SW (next tuesday i hope !!!!). I have also repped you although i cant find the thank you button it doesnt always show up for me i think :S Lizzie xxx

Can I ask what might be a very stupid question, but to go it alone you must have found the info on the syns and different types of SW, where did you find that from, I want to do SW but not sure i have the money atm so if anyone can help to get me kick started that will be great :)

Im also feeling downhearted, but then again i ve only got myself to blame i really have not been trying like i should and it shows, good luck though a pound loss is better than a gain :) x

Hey ladies, I also have pcos, and really need to get back into losing weight i ve got about 6 stone to lose :( Im still trying to find the best way to do this as exercising isnt always that easy for me. Hopefully we will get there together good luck to all xxx

thanks people i ve been wondering where to get these, not that i ve started SW yet, but i cant wait to be able to use them when i do :) x

Well done for losing 5 pounds thats amazing !!! Its interesting what doctors tell us then are proved wrong, but keep pushing dont let them fob you off, if you want to try the slow release then unless they give you a damn good reason why you cant have it keep on pushing. Sometimes doctors need a...

Its been that windy here today that its broken a big branch off a tree right by my front door. Also the grass in my windows were boughing in the frame scary !!!!:eek: Lizzie xxx

I think that pcos can come in bouts for some people, like at the moment my symptoms arent too bad, but six months ago they were really bad that my gp sent me to the hospital to see an endo, and have scans and blood tests etc. Lizzie xxx

I have pcos, but i ve been fairly lucky really, yeah my periods have been late every month, but i ve always had one. Now they are more regular as I'm on metformin. My problem is that they are really heavy and mega painful, im on mefanamic acid for them and sometimes it barely feels like it takes...

Yeah salmon is a fatty fish unfortunately, although it is full of omegas, which are really good for us :(. The important thing about carbs, is yes not having quite so many but its the type of carbs you take in also. Such as whole grain foods, wholewheat pasta, and brown or basmati rice. Also...

I think that the one cal sprays are really good. I love em ! I dont have one at the moment though. I would say the same thing, a good non stick tefal pan will do the trick. Wont those tubs of butter be very high in fat ? I would have thought it would have been better on the weightloss to go...

Well done scotty, on the weightloss and the running. Apart from some knee problems that might stop me, i wish i could just go out and run, but it just doesnt seem to come to me. I totally understand though by what you mean by its more of a lifestyle change. To lose that amount of weight and to...
