Hi all, I'm sure I've been in here before when I joined SW. I joined a weeks ago and after a couple of weeks of things were going swimmingly, I've had a few bad weeks..a gain of a pound, a loss of 1/2 pound and a gain of another pound. Although I have tended to follow the plan for most of the...

Hi all, Does anyone have a low syn (but preferably syn free!) recipe for black bean sauce? I'm veggie so I'll be having it with mix veg and egg fried rice Thankyou! :)

Hi again, Been without the internet the past few days so I'm just catching up. First week at class was great, first proper weigh in on Tues evening so we'll see then..I've stuck well within the plan all week, really pleased! It's great having a meeting during the Christmas period too..like some...

Are Muller yogurts not vegetarian friendly then?

Thankyou! I live in Cavan, are there any others here from Cavan? Can't wait to get going on Tuesday!!

Hi all, Another new member for the Irish group! I'm going to rejoin on Tuesday..have been having a few issues recently which I know are due to my weight, have an op coming up soonish and having had a bit of a telling off from the dr the other day I'm determined to make a point next time I...

Hi everyone, Decided that I am going to join SW on Tuesday and would love to start using this site again and you are all such fab people and there's so much great info on here. I've been having a few issues which I know are related to my weight and have an op coming up soonish so I need to...

Sounds intriguing! What was it like?

I know this might seem like a silly question as it's a very basic thing but how much low fat milk counts as a HexA? If it's not counted then how many syns? I have a craving for something sweet so I might make some rice pudding, yum! I've lost my SW book so I'm relying on you lovely people at...

Hello all, Just wondered if anyone knew how many syns, if any, there are in this? I have to admit, so far I haven't been counting it cos the ingredients lists says it is only made up of herbs and spices..no sugars etc. Thanks in advance! :)

Friday 27/8 - Green day BREAKFAST: Fat free Activia yogurts Banana LUNCH: Pasta bake (left from yesterday) - HexA Spicy potatoes DINNER: Baked potato Beans Snack on fruit.

I am planning to not weigh too. Although I do think it's good to see losses on the scales for motivation, like you and others have said it can be massively off-putting if the loss isn't what you thought it would be. Having said that, I think I may weigh myself once a month on the proper digital...

Thursday 26/8 BREAKFAST: 1 honeydew melon, FF Activia yogurt LUNCH: SW chips, spicy mushy peas, FF yog DINNER: Pasta,mixed roasted veg, tinned tomatoes, cheese HexA x 2 FF yog Parmesan - 10? I put quite a lot on but I haven't had any other syns today. Snack on fruit.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone can tell me how many syns there is in a 45g bag of choco m&ms? 216 cals/9.3g fat if that helps? Thanks in advance!

Tuesday 24/08 Ok, back again after a bit of faffing around, a couple of weeks of WW and a good bit of being a pig! I'm gonna go back to writing on here what I eat each day so I can keep track of things. I think it might be good to look back as I go on too. I'm also going to plan my meals...

I live in Co. Cavan in Ireland and pay 10 Euro too. I think it's a flippin' joke to be honest. I feel like if I stop going people might think I have stopped following the diet and think I'm a quitter though! I went a few times when I lived in England and the class was so much better. For a...

Well...despite me knowing better and kicking myself everytime, I have gone over my point allowance pretty much everyday since Thursday. I did it on Thursday night and said never again but it did, 3 more times in fact. What an idiot! Anyway, my weigh in is on Wednesday night so I've wasted...

Thanks. I was being a bit dim, I thought when it asked for a PIN I had to put in a number..seeing as that's what PIN actually refers to! Hopefully it should work when I come to update it later on. :D

Hi everyone, I'm going to my first WW weigh in tonight and am hoping to be able to update my ticker for the first time, yay! I just had a look to see how I should do it and the site is asking me for a pin, so as to be able to edit my ticker. I can't remember having to enter a pin when I set it...

Hi there, 20g of dried pasta, any type is 1 pt. 40g is 2pts and so on. Hope this helps, Gail

WMBB.. Could you please post the recipe for your falafel? I love the stuff but have yet to find or make any that's as low in points as yours! Thanks

Hi Lemma, Where did you get this from? I flippin' love feta cheese..it sounds totally delish but having had a look in a few of the usual places (asda, tesco, iceland) I haven't had any luck in finding one!

Hi Blairsmummy, According to my food list, 100g of dried split red lentils has 4.5 points. Hope that helps! You couldn't send me some lentil soup could you, yummy!

Hi eddiesmum, I've been thinking about doing the couch 2 5km thing for ages! Although I am very unfit at the mo and really overweight, I have always loved the idea of jogging..I love being outside and generally just do walking as my exercise. I think when I have lost a stone, I may start...

Hi everyone, Can I join please?! I just registered with WW last night, so my weigh in day is Wednesday. x x x

Hi all :flowers: I just came across this tread this morning. Joined Weight Watchers last night and I would love to take part in this challenge with you all. Is it too late to join? I am hoping to lose 2.5 stone by Christmas.

Thanks for your replies..you have done fantastically! I suppose I just need to relax and stick with it, what's the alternative? Stop following the plan and put on more weight...no thanks!

Can someone tell me how Erin Mushroom Risotto fairs syn-wise? It's an Irish company I think but hopefully someone will know..fingers crossed it's free! Thanks

Hello all, Just want to have a little whinge really, so please don't mind me...! I've only been doing SW for about 2 and a half weeks now, it's going great and I really think this is the one for me. I love the food, never feel hungry and look forward to cooking new things which is something...

The nearest class to me is about a 45 minute drive, up in the north of Ireland. I'm having a few car issues at the moment but when I'm sorted I might just head that way anyway. Can I just run this past you... I have had baked potato and mushy peas for lunch and I'm now going to have an...

You lot are so fast!! I don't get it though, I thought that foods were only free on EE if they were free on both red and green? I could really do with a set of books...

Since eating a tin of mushy peas for an early lunch, I am now going to have to have a green day rather than EE. I had planned to have Roast Chicken with loads of veg tonight so can someone please tell me how much I can have? PHEW...Mushy peas are free on EE after all. I have only eaten 2...

Are mushy peas free on both red and green days? I'm doing EE.

Hi all, I am also 'going it alone'. I live in Ireland, where there are very few classes so I don't really have much choice. I also don't want to have to pay for the online plan because my internet connection is not massively reliable these days.. This site is sooo good though, loads of info...

Vikstar, how many grams of Raisin Wheats can you have as HEX B?

26/1 W/meal pitta bread 50g Philadelphia light - counted 4 SYNS Pasta Tinned Tomatoes 2 Apples Banana Mushroom risotto 2 Mullerlights SW Crisps with SW Tzatziki

Perhaps if people are posting with slight worries or concerns, it could just be seen as people trying to be helpful which is never a bad thing. I thought the whole point of SW is to help establish eating habits that can last a lifetime; following something to the absolute letter is is not...

Must eat more fruit and veg. Must eat both HEXs - finding this hard though.

25/1 Pear x2 Potatoes Left over of yesterday's chilli Salsa Toasted Twister from KFC - 30 SYNS? Crispy Strip - 10 SYNS? Not sure about that one. Another not massively great day yesterday, my partner was off work sick and because I didn't feel overly great myself I didn't cook anything...

24/1 Chilli - Beef mince Tomatoes Onions Carrots Mushrooms SW Wedges Muller light yoghurts Tzatziki - Fat free natural yoghurt Colman's Mint Sauce Shallots Cucumber Sweetener SW crisps Apples, bananas

Hello! I have been making these recently too, but I just lay them out on a plate and microwave them for a few minutes...they are seriously tasty!! You can sprinkle different herbs, chilli powder etc on them too which make them a bit different. We had some last night with a free dip; fat...

23/1 Salsa toasted twister from KFC - Not sure how many SYNS About 40 SYNS worth of low fat ice cream...not a great day, but hey ho! I have read on these forums that many people like to save their SYNS for a treat at some point during the week. I also read in one of the SW publications, all be...

I know that most of the low fat/light hot choc drinks are 2 syns per portion, which is really good but I just wondered if anyone knew of any that were even less than that? I don't really ever drink them but they are sooo yummy stirred into fat free natural yogurt! Because I sometimes use a...

Thanks Circes :)

Hi, I am following the EE plan but because I live in Ireland, I am having to go it alone cos there's no groups near me. When doing the EE plan, what counts as a HEX? Would it be anything that it counted as a HEX when doing either the red/green plan? Could I have Oat So Simple porridge...

Does that mean they will be free on EE too then? If I go by the info I have then they should be, but it all seems a bit too good to be true so I like to check!

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and although I've done SW before, I am trying the EE plan this time. I've been doing it for a bit more than a week now and to be honest, it seems a bit too good to be true. I'm going to try and post my diary every evening; my internet connection is a bit...
