I think I will try this using quark instead of creme fraiche to make it syn free

I tried this and it just tasted too eggy. I think if I'm gonna have cake it needs to taste like it so will just save for syns or special occassions. When I want a sweet treat I have the 3 syn eton mess. Quark, vanilla essence, sweener, rasberries and a crushed meringues nest. Divine.

I mix quark with garlic (crushed in a garlic crusher) and a bit of garlic salt. Makes a great dip for syn free potato wedges and a lovely sauce in a burger.

Goodness - this sounds lush. Got to try - maybe with a bit of plastic cheese

My favourite dessert is Eton Mess. Tub of Quark 2 tbs sweener Rasberries 2 drops of vanilla essence 1 meringue nest Pour quark into a bowl and stir in the sweetner. Stir in vanilla essence. Add rasberries and crush the meringues nest over the mixture. Stir and serve. Just 3 syns for the...

This sounds lovely and very simple. I think I will give this a go

I weighed in at 17st 12.5lbs so i will be in the 17's for a while. Its been 2 years since I was in the 16's so it would be good to get back there

Hello everyone. I joined ww today and I am in the 17's and mg first goal is to get into the 16's. We can do it!!!

Yes babycakes we should definately buddy up. I am convinced that counting calories/carbs/points/syns is very bad for the mind. Day 2 of healthy eating and i feel great. If I get hungry then i just have a healthy snack. I'm following Jodie Marsh on twitter for inspiration. Say what i like about...

Happu New Year Everyone! I am back to healthy eating after the annual christmas binge saw me putting on 10lb oooff! Aiming for gym 3 times a week, lots of fruit and veg and no junk food (apart from a weekly treat). Oh and no alcohol in January. I'm tweeting my food and exercise diary on twitter...

Started healthy eating yesterday and feel so much better already. I love junk good but it makes i feel so rubbish and i dread to think what it does to your insides! I'm blogging my daily menus and general weight loss journey on twitter. You can follow me @dietbloguk

Bikini Bod LOL Thank you ladies!. So far this week hasn't been to bad. Been to the gym twice and plan to go over the weekend. One of my good friends recently got engaged and is getting married next year in Ibiza so an extra incentive to stay on track. My face is a bit slimmer and my legs...

Fell slightly off the wagon last night. Made it to the gym for a half hearted session and then the boyf bought home a box of chocolate fingers that we demolished in a bout 5 minutes - Oops. Must be a bit more focused. Back on track today.

First weigh in today :) So I am 1 week in and weighed myself this morning and I have lost 3lbs. Quite pleased with that as it has been a rollercoaster week. My boyfriend and I weren't on speaking terms (All sorted now - phew) which made keeping on track tricky - plus I was out with my sister...

I am following discover (old weight watchers points) at home on my own plus minimins for support of course. I was 7 points under yesterday which I know isn't good but was in a bad mood and lost my appetite. Feeling better today though so hopefully eating will be a bit better. I am off to the...

Hello Fellow Vintage Weight Watchers! Apologies if this post looks familiar, I have just realised that the weight loss diary thread is where I should be posting. I turn 30 in exactly 18 months time and I am absolutely determined I won't be overweight when I do. I used to get on fine with the...

Hey nikki i am starting again tomorrow and i am just gonna stick with it no matter how hard it gets. I want go get to 11 stone and i have about 6 stone to loose. We can do this!!!

Sandra that is so good to hear, well done! Did you drop points as u lost weight? And have u done any exercise or was it just the plan? Sorry, questions questions lol

Thanks heidiho. You are right - i just need motivation. The 18 point plan sounds good. I just need to stick to points.

Right then - I turn 30 in exactly 18 months time and I am absolutely determined I won't be overweight when I do. I used to get on fine with the old weight watchers and then left it for a while (as you do) and rejoined last December and was stuck with their pro points nonsense which didn't work...

No Snacks is easiest way to lose weight I started cutting out snacks a few weeks ago after hearing on embarrassing fat bodies (channel 4) that just cutting out 1 snack like a single walnut whip could make you lose 1 stone in a year. I just stick to breakfast, lunch and dinner and will only...

I made the chicken, potato and spinach curry and had it with rice was yummy and syn free apart from the tablespoon of sultanas I added to the curry. makes all the difference

Not feeling so great today My ww class is tonight but I don't think I will bother going. I weighed myself (ww scales) this morning and I have stayed the same. After gaining half a pound last week I am not impressed. Since the beginning of January I have only lost 6lbs which is mad because I am...

Feeling Motivated Morning Ladies I am feeling hyper happy today so please excuse the enthusiasm. I met my new colleagues for drinks yesterday and think we are all going to get along just fine. They are all very slim and pretty, but rather than feeling imitated I am more motivated to lose...

Your bacon pasta philli dinner sounds lush. I must give it a try

Thanks Last Attempt. Losing weight means so much to me I have just got to stick to it. We can do this!

Thanks Jen. I didn't get to go to Aquafit last night. Lucky I rang to check first - they aren't doing that class on a Tuesday anymore so need to find a different late class in the week. I tried the old plan but stopped after 2 days. I remembered that I lost 8lbs in my 1st week of pro points and...

Well Done You It sounds like you have been through a tough time but haven't lost your determination. Everyone has set backs - its what makes us human. Trick is to learn from mistakes, ignore all the negative people (their mostly jealous and insecure anyway) and think positive. I am having a...

Hey Janie Well done for rejoining and hats off to you for all the exercise, it definately makes a difference. :) Like yourself I have joined ww before and lost weight and regained it when I left. I started propoints in December and lost 8lb in my first week but then put it all back on over...

Happy Monday Hello Ladies Well done Dub Chick - that's a fantastic weight loss! Jen the burns night supper was fantastic. Everyone got stuck in reading poems, the drinks were flowing an I had my weigh in on Friday and had put on half a pound which I was very dissapointed with and I...

Hi Everyone I have been doing the old points for the last 3 days and so far I prefer it. I went to a Burns night supper last night and it was really good fun. I had a ww ready meal before I left and took a bottle of ww wine with me and had a taster of the haggis and tatties and cullen skink...

I find I tend to snack when I am really hungry and dinner is at least an hour away. If I feel like that now I have a ww soup or a cereal bar with a cuppa so I feel like I'm having a mini meal and then I can make dinner without picking at stuff.

You have done absolutely nothing wrong. The guilt factor with dieting is amazing. As long as you follow the plan and stay within your points for the week there is no reason you shouldn't lose weight. Most of it is in the mind. Promise yourself that for the rest of the day you will only think...

Hello - can I ask - what is this wendi plan?

Sounds yummy. Keep up the good work!

Hey Curvy Girl - welcome back. I did SW before and had the same problem. It didn't fit with my lifestyle and jst encouraged me to binge eat. I tried propoints and it works but the weight loss is slower so I am switiching back to discover now. I love that you can eat normal food on ww and...

There are a few people in my class who are doing old points. The leader doesn't mind because they are not far from goal. I started doing pro points but the weight loss is slower so I am going back to old points and still going to class and see how I do. Its a personal choice so totally up to...

Hi Ladies I have done ww lots of times over the years and have always lost weight. I started propoints a couple of weeks before Xmas and lost 8lbs, but then put on 7lbs over Xmas and have had to start again. I have found the loss on propoints much slower than on discover so I am going to go to...

Oh Dear Well the title says it all really. Was feeling quite irrationally angry yesterday (I'm going to blame hormones) and ended up binging on 3 bags of wotsits and a few ww bars. Could have been worse I suppose. I tried to snap out of it by reading a magazine in a hot bath which calmed...

Hello Ladies. I went to ww class on Friday and lost 5lb so quite pleased with that - even if it is over 2 weeks. Went out for lunch yesterday to celebrate my new job and had a very naughty 3 course meal with wine. My stomach must have shrunk on ww because I couldn't finish my main or dessert and...

Hi Carmel Well done on your weight loss. I know what you mean about the muffin - annoying isn't it. Maybe try keeping a low point snack bar or ww bar in your bag so you can have something if you get hungry. Yesterday I finished work later than expected and by the time I got home I was...

Good news! Hey Dub Chick, how did your weigh in go? I have mine tonight and I think I have had a loss but not what you would normally expect for 2 weeks. Oh well, as long I have lost something I will be pleased with that. Good news - I got the job! So very pleased. I will be working longer...

Hello Ladies Hi Everyone Hope everyone is feeling positive and smiley. Excuse the enthusiasm but for some sweird reason I am feeling very happy today. I missed my weigh in on Friday (gutted) because I had a job interview at the same time as my class so good excuse. I struggled to get back...

Weigh in is on a Friday so I've still got a little while to make a difference. I have had a bit of a flu this week and am downing lemsip, cough sweets and all sorts. Really hoping that doesn't affect my weight loss. I don't go to the gym because I have trouble with my knees. I am thinking about...

Back on Track - New Year - New Me Happy New Year People! I haven't been on here in a little while so thought I would get back on it. I said before that I was pleased as punch that I had lost 8lb before Christmas. It all went a bit haywire after that. Had a weign in on Friday and over...

Hey Becca Nothing like a wedding to get you feeling motivated. I am tipping the scales at a massive 18 stone at the moment. I joined ww 2 weeks before Christmas and lost 8lb in the first week. I really couldn't be arsed counting points over Christmas so am feeling like a right heffa at the...

Stayed the same is better than a gain so well done. Its important to have a life as well so don't worry about your 3 course meal. I had a slight blip last night and went over my points after a few glasses of wine (always the way) but I am not too worried about it. Saturday is the start of the...

Happy Happy, Joy Joy! Oh my God I am so happy right now. Just got back from my weigh in and I have lost 8lbs! That is 8lbs in 5 days. I'm amazed at how well it works. Having the weekly 49 points has definately made a difference to how I feel because if I go over my daily allowance, I don't...

Hi Everyone. Thought I would start a thread on here to help keep me on track. I have joined ww several times over the years and usually lose about a stone and a half and then stop going to classes and put it all back on and then some. I have been off all diets for the past year and my weight...

Hello Ladies I have done weight watchers a few times over the years and have always had success with it. Since hearing about the pro plan I am very keen to give it a go so am going to join on Friday. I was going to wait until after Christmas but I am so heavy right now its making me feel...

I did ask my consultant about the 1/3 super free food with meals and she said as long as the it is 1/3 over the course of the day then that should be okay. I use the veg in my meals (eg chilli or spag bol) and bulk out to try and get in the super free food because I just can't eat massive...

I hate my jeans I made the mistake of weighing myself this morning and was dirheartened to see that I had only lost 1lb. I will try to just leave the weigh ins for class. Here is yesterdays menu: Breakfast: Heinz sweet chilli beans on toast (HE B) Lunch: Rice with peas, sweetcorn, peppers and...

Hi Teresa, we really are in the same boat aren't we! The bride is a size 12 and her other 2 bridesmaids are a size 8. At the moment I am bursting out of a size 18 so really want to slim down. Plus the bridesmaids dresses are from Karen Millen which only go up to a size 16 which would really...

I'm Back Hello everyone. It's been a while since I came on here but I am back. I rejoined a slimming world class on Monday and I am back in the swing of things. One of my best friends has asked me to be her bridesmaids for when she gets married in August so I am determined to shift several...

Mmmm Vino I'm so glad its not just me. I absolutely love wine. I would happily give up chocolate, take aways, biscuits and cakes if it meant I could have wine every day. There is something so satisfying about hearing that first glass being poured. I normally get through 3/4 of a bottle so...

Wow - Thank you so much. I genuinelly fell much better now. It really helps to know there are other people out there who go through what I go through and it shows it is possIble - you just have to keep at it. I am definatley going to try for the 10lb August challenge. It is such a good idea...

Hello. I think I need a bit of support so I have come on here for help. I am 27 and weigh 17stone (that really hurt just having to write that) :cry:. I have been overweight my whole life and have tried dieting so many times and it works but I can't keep it up. A new weight watchers calss has...

Does anyone know how many syns for a Nestle Munch Bunch yoghurt - strawberry and vanilla flavour? Thanks

Hello Everyone I have joined SW before and have lost weight but always ended up straying and putting it all back on and then some. I am now going to be following Extra East at home using this website for support. Going to start my healthy easting plan today and am hoping for a good loss next...

Oh my God these sound amazing. I will definately keep an eye out for these.

Fat Fu*king Fat Effing Fat is what I feel today and I am just so sick of it. Wish that I could be 'normal' and not want junk food all the time but I just can't help it and then when I deny myself it is all I can think about - getting me really down. I have tried every diet under the sun and...

Hello. I have done Paul McKenna in the past and really struggled with the stop when your full bit. I am going to give it a proper go starting tonight - I am going to re-read the book and listen to the CD on my iPOD and take it from there. Any advice - greatly received :)

Paul McKenna Weight Loss Hello Everyone. I did the Paul McKenna thing a while back and it kind of worked but I really struggled with it contradicting dieting rules eg Eat whatever you want. I was doing slimming world about a month ago but stopped over Easter and have put everything back on...

Quark Can anyone tell me where I can get Quark - I have no idea where in the supermarket it is - would they have it in Sainsbury's?

Pancake This syn free panckae sounds to good to be true but I will try it this weekend with apples and cinnamon topping

Weigh Day - Extra Easy Hello People Today is my weigh day so got on the scales this morning and I have stayed the same. I am ok with that because when I think about what I ate and drank last weekend - I must of spent this week losing what I put on. I am determined to get a decent loss next week...

Hello and welcome to the forum. I tend to have quite good weight losses but I can put weight on very quickly - at a rate of about 1lb per day. I think everyone is different so you have to stick at what ever works best for you. You can make a difference to your metabolism though. Always eat...

Thanks StacieG! I can't manage 1/3 super free foods at meals either so like you I am upping my intake of fruit. Had a really good day yesterday. OH came round and before we went to the supermarket I explained to him that I don't mind him having whatever he wants as longas he doesn't offer it to...

Extra Easy - Easy Peasy Hello Everyone. I am having a much better day today. I made the mushy pea curry last night with pork. Think I used too much peas (2 cans - opps). Will try again with less peas and chicken. The syn free onion bhajis were gorgeous. Will try swopping the curry powder for...

Are the bananas synned because they are mashed?

That sounds absolutely gorgeous and the picture looks good to. Me and my OH love take aways so this sounds ike the way forward. So far I have tried curry, fish and chips and burger and chips and have loved them all so next stop - Chinese.:)

Tattoo Hi Everyone. I love the idea of the Phoenix tattoo. It is really symbolic of the change that we all want to make, I have 3 tattoosand with each one I have waited about ayear before getting it so I know I won't regret it. Got my first one 9 years ago and I still love it - but have so many...

Thanks Lyns. I have joined and quit SW and WW at least 10 times now and the club environment just doesn't work for me so I am gonna do it at home and weigh myself.- although I do miss HiFi bars and wished they sold them in supermarkets. I find the hints, tips and support on here a God send and...

Ooh - this all sounds so yummy. How do you do the satay chicken?

I made this last week and it was very good. I made a huge family sized portion and had half for my dinner and then the other half a few hours later when I felt hungry. Will definately be making this one again

Well - Friday is the day I weigh myself at home and I was pleased as punch to realise that I had lost 5lbs in my first week but it all seems to have gone down hill since. I really struggle with weekends as I am mostly with my OH and he always bring round cake, chocolate and crisps. Saturday...

Extra Easy Food Diary I had quite a good day yesterday. I have noticed that spending my syns on extras for my meals eg sauces is working better for me than spending them on chocolate and crisps. I am an all or nothing girl and having a fun size chocolate bar would not be enough for me but Ifind...

Hi Hayley I have just read your thread and I can feel tears stinging my eyes as I could have written it myself. I have suffered bulimia on and off for the last 16 years and I am overweight. It is a horrible disease that tears at your self esteem and you end up in a vicious circle. I kept it...

Whoops -didn't realise about the 1/3 super food thing! I will make sure I do that next time. Today was ok. Had lunch with colleagues at Pizza Express. Thought I would stick to a tomato based pasta but all of their pasta dishes were creamy so chose a chicken salad instead. The menu didn't say...

Shepherds pie is quick and easy and if your following green - use quorn instead of mince. Same goes for spag bol and chilli. When I can't be bothered with cooking I microwave a jacket potato and top it with laughing cow triangle and sweetcorn. Pasta and sauce packets are always good for a quick...

Hi guys. I have tried just about every diet going and always regain whatever I have lost but I am determined not to give up. I am following the slimming world extra easy plan an home rather than going to classes but I thought I would join here to help keep me on track. Started yesterday and here...
