    KFC Chicken done the SW way

    I made this with smash for the second time tonight and got it right!! It was really yummy! I used paprika (quite a lot), ground chilli, mixed herbs, bit of ground coriander and garlic pepper. The SW hating family were impressed as well! :) definitely making this again!

    KFC Chicken done the SW way

    I tried this today with smash! It worked pretty well. I used a chicken stock pot to, with a bit of hot water to make it pasty and mixed it with the egg. So I dipped the chicken into that mixture, rolled the chicken in the smash flakes and seasoning, then dipped it back in the egg, then back in...

    I has real thoughts about binging today.... I had the worst day at work, and probably the worst day I've had since I stopped binging... I managed to do a pseudo binge of my dinner without my 1/3 super free veg (on SW), a HIFI bar (HEB) and a pack of baked stars (4 syns). Definite downsize from...

    I do 99% of my cooking, I always have - but especially now with SW! That's why I was so surprised she made something low fat for me... I did feed her SW chips the other day which she said were wicked, then she made sweet potato wedges with fry light so I could eat them! Sweet! I'll convince her...

    I was skeptical because it was SO expensive, and you can get it cheaper but I'd heard really good things about this woman and she stopped my friend smoking in one session!

    Counting Syns a lot like counting PP?

    Yeah you don't spent that much time working out syns... and in time you'll know the values of the stuff you'll use your syns for! I did WW before and hated it, I found it so restrictive. SW is so flexible, it's so much better for real life, long term! Xx

    I have since discovered the HIFI light bars (caramel and rocky road), amazing!! All last week I didn't use my HEB once, all that stuff is probably my least favourite food group!

    Cake

    Some people chose to have their syns per week instead of per day, that's what I did and it worked for me before.. So if you have 15 syns a day, then that's 105 a week. If you have cake that's over 15 syns one day, as long as you stay within your weekly limit your still on plan. I've just...

    Help with EE

    yeah I do exactly the same, I normally end up about 50/50 meat/veg. I just find meals like that easy to make! like salads, or a peice of lean meat (steak, pork steak, turkey steak, gammon) with salad or veg. Good for when I'm not feeling creative or have lots of time to cook! which is often!

    yeah it looks ok, but if you wanted to be 100% there's needs to be more fruit/veg across all meals. So for example for breakfast, instead of two pieces of toast, have one piece and some tinned/grilled tomatoes? lunch would be fine as long as it's a big salad taking up at least a 1/3! You can...

    Help with EE

    It does seem too good to be true! But it really is what it is! The important thing is to remember the 1/3 superfree for each meal though, I believe that's how it really works! and use your syns! From what I've read on here and heard in class, it's not of any benefit to deprive yourself of them!

    woohoo! :D I went on it for half an hour, and burnt 350 cals! Then I did loads of sit ups to a few songs, then I made a big 3 egg bacon, mushroom and cheese omlette (all free with HEA)...I'm feeling really good!! I didnt do any exercise to start with, but since I have started the weight has...

    My SWC isn't what you'd call 'slim' - do you think this matters?

    I found this when I went to WW...there was a picture of the C in underwear (as the before picture, looking very overweight)...got in there and my mum went to me..."did they take that picture today?!". On first glimpse my C is probably overweight, but then on actually talking to her she'd lost...

    Side effects of SW?

    I got it about 2 weeks into SW...so I do beleive that SW did trigger it. But your right the creams are doing wonders!

    I do EE and don't always have 1/3, but I do try! I normally have something and fruit for breakfast. Lunch I tend to have pasta n then dinner i'll have something with veg normally. I still loose well and I think its because I snack on a lot of fruit, but I imagine when I get closer to target...

    How does your consultant help you on your journey?

    My C is really good. She sent me an e-card congratulating me on loosing a stone :) She's given us her number (even her house number!!) and says we can call her if we need do, but I never feel the need to call her. Although I know if I ever did she'd be happy to take my call :) x

    thanks guys! I'll definitely be using the moment I saw those numbers come up on the scales!! Was amazing :). I've been overly good today, but I wasn't depriving myself I think it was just the massive motivation after a great WI :) x
  117. philly_x

    Easter eggs from Clients!!!

    If you have the self control, you could smash up the easter egg, keep it in the fridge and weigh out syned portions? I know 6g of dairy milk chocolate is 1.5 syns (6gs is not a lot!!), but you could work from here? e.g weigh out 12g for 3 syns, or 24g for 6 syns! x

    Following the SW diet permanently

    I think everyones answers have been really useful...I thought id add something funny I discovered when I first started SW. Before I set a target on my graph, it just kept going down. I scrolled across to see how far it would to...and I got as far as I would weigh 3 stone by 2015! :8855::8855...
  145. philly_x

    How did you set your target weight?

    I kind of guessed and said 11 stone (I'm quite tall at 5" 9), which puts me bang in the middle of a healthy BMI. I've got a friend of similar height whos 10st 7lb and she looks really good, so if I feel its achievable once I get to 11 stone then i'll probably reset! x

    oh yeh it definitely needs seasoning! Treat it like potato! I slice it into discs to roast, but when I get to the end that doesnt really work and it comes out in odd shapes lol. I leave the skin on so it doesnt shrink but the skin isnt very nice. Apparently its ok to eat but I dont try lol...

    debate this...

    I think when you weigh more, you definitely lose more weight. Its probably in similar ratio to those with less to lose though! So although it sounds like its easier to lose weight because someone with more weight to lose would be losing more each week, they also have a lot more to lose so...

    Treat after weighing in

    I have a small treat after WI. I had many many treats after last WI because I couldnt decide what I wanted to treat myself to and it definitely caught up with me! So from now on I wont be having massive treats! I normally have meals that I like that I thought were healthy before SW, like...

    how much you think

    I'm aiming to lose 28lb by July 6 (I started on 8th march) worked out as approx 1.5lb a week. I normally lose 1lb a week but on really good weeks can lose 2 so it seemed pretty reasonable for me, so 20lb should be very acheivable! x

    The Wii Fit Weekly Challenge

    I'd REALLY recommend the biggest loser game. The work outs are a lot more intense cardio wise! They have lots of pre made routines you can do (e.g 15, 20, 25, 20 mins light, 15, 20, 25 mins moderate etc.). Which is great if your watching the time! It also schedules work outs for you, which you...

    Red Days Ideas for lunch

    yeh they are good! To be fair they dont sell them everywhere, only in supermarkets where they have the big ranges! and there are only 3 flavours : chicken and herb, sweet thai chilli, and chilli chicken. Chicken and herb is by far the best in my opinion! x

    My P.A.T is 11 stone, which I think is quite healthy as I'm quite tall (approx 5" 9), this puts me in the middle of the ideal BMI range! I think mine could change, i've never been 11 stone before so I dont know if i'll like it or whether it will be enough! The wii fit suggested 10 st 9lb so...

    Tough time

    Hi Brunty, I only do EE so I'm not quite sure how to advise on green. But losing 1lb a week is a good steady weight loss and you shouldnt be dissapointed by that! If it works for you then maybe you should consider just doing EE? We are all going to have hungry weeks, especially if we're...
