I usually buy the yogurts every week for taking to work. And I looooove the frozen brownie desserts. Yummy yummy! I don't tend to buy the biscuits or chocolates as I like to treat myself to a curly wurly which is only 2.5 points and so worth it. I used to buy the ww cheese puff crisps until I...

Had a bad week this week (food wise) and I didn't lose anything at weigh in today. BUT I also didn't gain so I'm chuffed to bits!! Never thought I'd say that as I used to get really down a few years ago if I didn't get a loss every single week. I think that sometimes you need a few days off the...

Are you thinking of freezing them and eating them frozen? If so, I'd say not such a good idea. Because they are so low in fat they will become very very hard, like a fruity milky ice cube I guess!! Not like normal frozen yogurt which tends to have more fat in to help create a smoother texture...

Not sure if this helps or not but I've checked the "eat out" book and it doesn't have debenhams products in but there are a few other similar ones which I've listed..... Caffe Nero bio yogurt 5.5 points Boots shapers blackcurrant granola 3.5 points Eat yogurt and granola 6.5 points I'd go worst...

I've checked the books and looks like 160g of gammon will be approx 4 points. Its 5 and a half points for 50g of peanuts. :-)

Thanks, I really hope so. You're right about the book, I have the points calculator so will start relying less on the book and more on actually calculating points from the nutritionals, more accurate. :-)

Eeeek! Just eaten what I thought was a 0 point jelly- Hartley's ready made no added sugar orange jelly 115g pot. A quick swot up in the "shop" book and it says it's actually 4 and a half points? How can this be!?!? Per 100g on the nutrition is 3 calories and 0 sat fats. It's just flavoured water...

Oooh I'm so excited now I've read this post!! I orderd my "essentials" pack on Monday and now waiting for it to arrive. Whoop whoop!!

I've just shown my boyfriend your post and asked "so when do I get my bracelet". I got a humph, a squirm on the sofa and quick change of subject. Ah well. Sounds like you have a lovely hubby!! Good luck with building your bracelet. X

Same here, tried most diets going including Atkins, slimming world, south beach, even the cabbage soup diet (ewww!!) and many more. My first week on WW this week and really looking forward to the journey!! Good luck on your journey too. xxx

Good luck!! Fingers crossed x

Thanks guys x

Hi 1st week on WW and I'm stuck already!! The book says 100g serving of potatoes is 1 point but is this the raw weight or the cooked weight? Can anyone help?

It was my 1st day on WW yesterday and I had a glass of wine and a curly wurly in the evening. In fact I still had enought points to have a 2nd glass of wine too but decided to save them. I think this is going to be my kind of diet!!

When I was on SW at the start of the year I was one of the "naughty" ones who found someone willing to give me the SW password and used all the functions of the website. Just don't ask for the password on the SW section of this site or they will jump on you from a height!! I also got the up to...

And a big yes for stocking up on curly wurlys!!

Thanks Shabba and shrinkingannie, items noted and on the list!! Luckily I already have a couple of those things, I try to keep a stock of things like pitta bread, baked beans and philly. I know what you mean about the scales, Auburn, my fave part of SW was the endless amounts of pasta and rice...

Hi everyone, I joined WW yesterday for the very first time and as an ex-slimming world advocate am finding it hard on my first day already. Off to do my big weekly shop tonight so thought I'd see if anyone has any tips on what is best to fill my cupboards, fridge and freezer with for my first week?

These sound great, definitely going to have a try using the microwave. Yum yum.

OMG, I'm so excited about trying this recipe!! I love how everyone has different opinions on how theirs have turned out, haha, hope I can join the people who loved it!! I luuuurve choccy cake!!

1 slice from 400g danish or white is 2.5 syns, brown is 2 per slice.

Oooooh I'm so excited about pudding today!! Just made a strawberry moose using sugarfree jelly and a muller light. Whipped together and poured into wine glasses with slices of fresh strawberry and kiwi on top. It's in the fridge chilling but not sure I can wait that long!! Licked the bowl and...

I'm a big fan of quorn meatballs. Its one of the few syn free SW dishes I cook that my boyf will eat with me- he loves them too. I usually make a tomato, red pepper and chilli sauce to go with them. I find they need lots of punchy flavours to make them tasty as they are quite bland. With a...

I'm on a red day and had a HUGE chicken breast bashed flat with a rolling pin and stuffed with 2 laughing cow extra light, basil leaves and sliced tomato. Had a with a salad and a splodge of light salad cream. Steak with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes and asparagus for tea. Yum yum :-)

Does anyone use pearl barley? I'm assuming it's free on a green day cos it's a pulse/grain but not sure how to use it. Does it take long to cook when you add it to a stew?

Noooo!! 6 and a half sins!! Thanks jayne3110 :-(

Yay!! Well done!! I have the same comment from my fella. If I can stuff my face with pasta and "creamy" sauces, sin free chips, huuuuge omlettes and beans, how can I be dieting? Well -8lbs tells me I can!! Keep it up..... :-)

Does anyone know if Quorn frozen bacon is syn free? I've made the typical foolish mistake of buying before checking and now I'm having my doubts as I've noticed there is rapeseed oil o the ingredients list. It was on special offer but not so special if I can't use it!! The one I have is 150g...

Well, it's fair to say I've started to see my waist coming back again but for me there are consequences.... I'm losing my boobs!! Gutted. Always felt those two blobs were the only wobbly bits on my body that I liked and now they are disappearing!! I've only lost a few pounds but mainly off my...

My boyfriend is taking me to nando's tommorrow but I've never eaten out before when doing slimming world in the past. Presumably red day would be best but anyone have any ideas what would be best for me to order?

Thats great!! I bet its made you feel really motivated to carry on. Fingers crossed I'll be doing the same soon too. I have a wardrobe full of clothes ranging from a size 8 to size 14. Sadly I'm at the wrong end of the wardrobe at the moment!!

Grrrrrrr..... looks like the dog is getting a rather tasty snack tonight. Thank you!!

My sister (thinking she was helping) has bought a pack of Co-Op *REDUCED FAT* hot cross buns. Anyone have any ideas how many syns there are in something like this? Is it worth wasting the syns? Especially if I can't have it with a big whopping splodge of butter!!

So its your first green day? You must let us know how you get on and if you plan to do another!!! I'm on my third slimming world stint and have only ever done a green days. This is my first week after stopping 2 years ago. I always have a bbbbiiiiiggggg lunch. Usually a jacket with beans...

Yummy,sounds tasty. I'm only one week in to the diet and only just registered. I'll be keeping my eye out for more tasty recipes like this to try!!
