Thank you both so much for your help, it helped loads. I joined last night and went straight to points but I seem to be struggling with the app to check points, can you help? For example when I type in something simple like weetabix only the bitsize ones come up, same with cheakpeas, asda...

Hi All, I am joining tomorrow night and have a few questions... 1) I see there is an offer which you can buy online for £10 a month (first month only), do I need to buy this online before I go or can i get the same deal at group? 2) Will i get all the books and calulator thing when I join or...

Hello Im off to Frankie and Benny's in an hour and really do not know what to have! I want to be really good! Has anyone had a very low syn meal here? Not tempted with any of the lighter options and I dont like steak or fish! Would a salad be better than pasta? Help! xxx

Thank you - I know I will get there! x

My info down the side is wrong, im at target now and just thought id try extra easy to mix it up a little. I am finding it hard staying within my 3lbs and wondered if Extra easy would help. xx

Thank you for all these ideas, thats great! Im not sure ill have time to cook things on a work day but will stick to fruit and cereal on these days and cooked at weekends. I have been doing SW but have the odd day on extra easy but dont really do it correctly. I might ask at group if I can sit...

chocolate_bananas - thats the one I have too as i got a new one to help me out. On page 9 eggs are in orange :( wish is was simple. Im so use to green/red....x

Allie - would I be ok to have weetabix as this wouldnt have any superfree food in?

chocolate_bananas - what date does your book say on the spine? x

Thanks everyone :) Haha sorry for the spelling error, i couldnt find how to edit. Soooo Im a little stuck for breakfast as I dont find fruit and yogurt fills me up...any ideas? xx

Hi All, Im looking to do a few days of extra easy and normally do red/green. In my book eggs are printed in orange - does this mean they are superfree foods and can help towards the 1/3rd plate 'rule' Thank you x

I am pretty sure these are 3 and half syns - i love them!! x

I love the cadburys light choc moose, 3 syns and very yum! Also the new Skinny cow choc brownies is gooood! x

You could make a savoury rice in the morning and eat it cold for lunch (these are still nice cold). Or make the slimming world quiche, scotch eggs, a cold pasta with some sort of sauce. Help mix things up from salads. I use my food flask for soups, not tried anything else, but home made soup...

Ive tired it with toppings on and hated it but in cakes its fine and can make pretty yummy ones! I had a sticky toffee cake last week, all for 4 and half syns! YUM! Try it and give it a go! x

There is no need to be ashamed or cross with yourself, we all have these hard times and its great your going to carry on! Try having lots of super free food? I find doing a food diary always helps me stay on track. Could you do one of those? Good Luck - let us know how you get on! x

Love that poem! Your photos are also amazing! Congrats to you and the new hubby! I am in the same boat, lost 4 stone for my wedding and when it was all over i didnt have anything to really push me into getting the honeymoon weight off. Im at target but I am very often over by a few pounds, i...

Thanks - I like the sound of the sweet chilli, do you know many tea spoons would be enough for me and the hubby?

Hi All, Im very bored of just adding a bit of seasoning and soy sauce to my stir frys (i used dried noodles and the veg stir fry packs). Does anyone know of a low syn sauce or a home made one thats alot more tasty? Thank you x

Mushroom stroganoff - was loevly and the yoghurt was fine :)

Thank you - I only have the yogurt in the fridge, just had my quorn cook book arrived and fancied one of the recipes for tea. Thanks for the advise, i will make sure its off the heat! Yum off to make this now - thanks again! x

Please can someone tell me if i can replace creme fraiche with natural yoghurt when following a recipes? x

Ooh i like the oranges, they are so cute! Off to the shops tonight! x

Thats great - thank you very much! Like the jelly idea, nice and simple but sounds fun!

Hi All, Any got any fun ideas for a halloween taster night at my group this week? I am a little stuck for ideas. Thanks x

I use.... Sainsbury's Instant Mashed Potato, made up with water, dried^^ 100g cooked when I am in a rush, its pretty good for instant mash and lovely with beans. x

Hi All, Off to the women of the year tomorrow, very scared and nervous! Has anyone been? What happens throughout the day? Any advise would be great! :o x

I have one too and they are great! You can also get them in Lakeland but mine was from Ebay. x

I cant find the details on the web site either - can you confirm they are all around 380 kcals? Thanks x

Hi all, Anyone know how many syns are in the asda good for you caesar dressing? Can find it on web site.... Thanks x

Wow thats so not worth it. Glad i checked before I ate it! Thanks all for the quick reply! Never mind! xx

Oh no :( i thought it would come under a fruit! Never mind, have to give it to the other half! Thank you x

Hi all, Just bought a coconut but can't find it my my book, does anyone know if its a free food? Thanks x

Im getting married 28th may in Aruba and I am getting very excited now! I have another 5 and half pounds to go to target and really want to get their for the big day! Also i have just done the FYEO photo shoot (not for the wedding) but the photos are pretty amazing and you will look great and...

Sorry if this is a silly question but do you then eat this cold?

Hi all, Has anyone tired these? I think they are very yummy & you get a choc aero bubble at the bottom (they are like screwballs) which is a great treat to finish! :) 5 syns & Morrisons have them on offer at 4 for £99p.

3 more pounds and ive lost an elephant’s penis! How exciting!!

When i first started i didnt have any syns because i thought i would lose weight quicker, after a good 6 months i started having a few syns and still lost weight. Now i am trying to get to target I have nothing more i can cut back on....so i would try to use atleast some of them and enjoy them...

I am so glad someone else feels the way i do. I have been trying to lose my last 7lbs for months now & dont feel like I am getting anywhere but hate the thought of giving up as i feel i will have failed. When i tell people i still have weight to lose they tell me the same things as you get told...

These sound nice - might have to try them. Just looked on SW and they are 4 syns (for the cheese ones & salt/vinger).

Weight watchers bacon is lovely, the fat is mostly removed and tastes good!

Boiled eggs and toast! Very tasty and fills you up!

Butter/Marg - i use to love toast with lots of spread, jam or marmite. I sometimes use a Laughing cow instead with Marmite on top and thats pretty nice. Its been over a year since having this now!!

I made this last night, halved everything and it still made loads! I am very impressed, eating this now and its very tasty! Hope it helps get me to target! Fingers crossed. Tesco had sold out of mixed bean salad so i used some kindney beans instead and it worked fine. How long does this keep for...

I am about to make this - wish me luck! One little question, do i drain all these beans? Or put them in with whatever sauce/water they come in? Thanks

Have you tried puffed wheat? You get so much for your 28g, add some sweetner and its like sugarpuffs! Very yummy and really fills you up!

Are all the green teas syn free? Also are fruit teas as good for you as green tea? I think i am going to give it a go! Thanks for the advise!

Hi All, I read somewhere that on EE days now we have to fill half our plate with super free foods - is this correct?

Id just like to say thank you Brightonrose for this post! I have been finding it so hard to lose & started to wonder if it was due to my Kcal intake. I am now going to start counting & I think I will be very shocked! Even though i dont use mug shots/pasta/rice for snacks i do eat loads of fruit...

Thank you all so much for the advise! I went out and bought lots of meat & having my first red day in a long time today. Fingers crossed it works! xx

Sounds like i need to get some reds days in my week. There is no way i could do it everyday as i love my green days but maybe introduce as many as i can handle! 3 a week? But I am getting married in 6 months so it will be worth it!

Thank you so much! Like you i dont ever have red days since the EE came about, i struggle for lunchs on a red day. Do you have any good ideas for things i could take to work if i do some red days? Have you gone back to have green days now? I feel if i start eating all my syns now this will up...

Hi all, Ive been doing slimming world for a year now and totally love it, total loss 3st 10 1/2. For the last 4 months I have been finding it very hard to lose weight, i have not been doing anything different, i stick to it 100 % and dont even use all my syns - i hardly go over 5 a day! Does...
