    Day One on FF

    Sounds harsh! 1lb to go to target though that's fantastic and will be well worth it at the end of the week I'm sure! Good luck let us know how you go over the day.

    Negative Calorie Foods!

    I suppose it would depend how much of it you ate compared to other things. I think what Snopes is actually saying is that the calories in the celery aren't accessible i:e we can't break down the celullose (the walls of plant cells) so we have more fibre than anything else. If you look at the...

    OK, had a bit of a blow out - how do I deal with it?

    Flexi syns recommend you plan before hand but I have had a last minute blow out and counted it as a flexi day. This explains Flexi syns However, there are times when those usual Syns just aren't enough. Certainly, you could eat out or go to a...

    OK, had a bit of a blow out - how do I deal with it?

    Personally I would move on and count it as a flexi day. That's what I love about SW, if I had to worry about it I'd probably just say 'sod it' for the week and definitely gain! Whereas if I have 1 blowout I know as long as I get back on track the next day I'll probably be ok. SW syns 35ml at...

    Green Days My First day so far. . . is this looking okay?

    I hate to tell you this but the Heinz mac cheese in a tin is 1.5syns per 100g on a green or EE day, and 4syns per 100g on a red day. Also the wholemeal bap can't weigh more than 57g for it to be a Healthy extra. Other than that it looks fine, and it doesn't look to me like you've eaten alot I...

    Recipe ingredient question....KFC Chicken

    DONT NO WOTS HAPPENING TO ME :(

    I know it can be disheartening when you've been good but try looking at the bigger picture, 3lbs in 4 weeks isn't terrible and you're still lighter than when you started. Why not post up your food diaries so we can have a look at them?
  27. Wendyuk

    What the heck happened...so upset!!!

    I can also gain up to 5lbs in my *week. Try not to feel disheartened you will probably lose that and more next week.

    I didn't buy mixed spice for the recipe I just made my own with 1/2tsp of this and that, that I had in the cupboard. If you want to leave it out I doubt it will make a huge difference.

    any special offers in joining sw? NEED A SPEEDY REPLY

    Have you tried going onto the SW website and putting in your postcode to find your nearest class? If it doesn't tell you details of special offers it should have the consultants name and phone number, you could give them a ring and ask.

    I'm intrigued, haven't heard of these. Were you able to use them as an HE? Just scrolled through the HE's and it does mention cracklin oat bran (USA) as an HE. I'll have a look next time I'm in Tesco want to try them now before they all run out!

    omg green day vs myfitnesspal

    It shouldn't but it obviously does as Jacqui's post shows. I don't necessarily feel less satisfied I tend to pick higher calorie meals. For example on a red day I usually have a sandwich for lunch, where on a green day I might have a mugshot because I enjoy them and I know I can.

    omg green day vs myfitnesspal

    If you look at your whole week doing red and green do you find that the calories add up better? That's the way I would look at it. Maybe that's why I was such a slow loser the last time I did SW I did almost all green days now I prefer red though I do try and mix them up for variety.

    Does anyone out there sneakily get weighed every day

    I only weigh once a week at home. I also like the suspense (don't know if like's the right word as I feel very apprehensive before I step on!) But I think it's different for everyone, if I weighed everyday it wouldn't benefit me mentally but I can see how it would some. I must admit I like...

    1st week on SW and incredably constipated.

    I know how you feel been there myself. Lots of water and a walk might get it going. Or other than that you could try senokot overnight? I sometimes use glycerine suppositiries from the chemist but he told me to use them as a last resort they do get things moving within a few mins usually.

    Ideas for left over stock

    I bunged some beef and Jo's sausages into the slow cooker yesterday, with lots of veggies, tin of tomatoes and stock.

    Just to point out mild cheese and brocoli isn't free it's 1/2 a syn.

    OMG lol my mouth hit the deck there, :eek: I was starting to worry about you! Ha ha good one. I do alot of swimming and it does help my weight loss but I lose not exercising aswell. If you want to exercise find something you like and it wont be such a chore.
  77. Wendyuk

    Do you have to have your syns??

    The syns are there so you don't feel deprived and go off plan. So if you're ok without them and not feeling deprived then I don't see it would be a problem. I'm happy with the free food and usually only use my syns on alcohol so if I didn't drink I'd probably not use that many in a week.

  104. Wendyuk

    What the hell???!!!!

    What about trying fruit that are lower on the GI scale? Less sugar and keep you satisfied longer. As Malakai said grapes are high in sugar and will fluctuate your sugar levels and you might feel hungrier quicker. Seems a little thing especially when it's fruit but it might be worth a try.

    They've arrived! Only bad thing is the pork and apple grills they're very soft, and had trouble getting them out of the packet and splitting them up into seperate bags. But had a thick pork sausage and a pork and apple grill. Delicious! You can tell there's not c**p in them, lovely and firm...

    Question re KFC chicken recipe

    Yes Stacey I did, haven't made it before so don't know how much difference it makes. I didn't use the chillie cause I didn't have any and funnily enough the only negative I got (if u can call it that hubby loved them) was him saying it could have done with a little spicyness to make it exactly...

    Question re KFC chicken recipe

    WOW!!! A hit with the whole family or as Jamie my eldest said 'this chicken's blooming lovely'! Definitely making this again. Jo like Julie said it is messy making it and after trying to drizzle the sauce over the first bit of chicken, I just thought sod it and dunked it in lol I have such...

    Has anyone quit smoking while following SW?

    Thanks Cara I think I will still give it a read then, I'm sure it will help reinforce why I'm doing it. :)

    Question re KFC chicken recipe

    Thanks Julie I think I'll go with the chicken one it doesn't say concentrated but I'm not sure beef would be very KFC like lol. Was just a bit concerned because it seems quite a bit thinner than the beef but I'll try it and if it doesn't work will know for next time.
  116. Wendyuk

    star week question..........

    Yep I think everyone is different. I hold onto water before mine start but as soon as they do it's like a switch turned on it just dissapears, along with my grumpy hormonal moods ;)
  117. Wendyuk

    Question re KFC chicken recipe

    Everything is ready to go, but I found bovril beef paste and only bovril chicken (not paste) so I bought both. Can I use the ordinary chicken one? It also says a tub but not what size, the chicken one is 125g and the beef one 250g. Any idea anyone? :confused: TIA Wendy

    Joes sausages

    I thought about that but don't go to a group or know anyone else that's doing SW :( Ahhh so Jo in other words they're all blooming lovely lol;) :D
  119. Wendyuk

    So, given up smoking today and used all my syns for the week

    The motivation for me Pesty is everything you said and I keep telling myself 'there is no postives to smoking' there is no positives to smoking' might stick if I say it enough ;) Well Hubby fancies Sherlock and son fancies Avatar so it looks like I have the deciding vote. :D

    Joes sausages

    That is very true Agent, and if you broke it down, say you could get them locally and bought a few packets a month it wouldn't be that expensive. So £55 is a big lay out but I won't be buying them for awhile. Jo, I'm coming to your house! You lucky sod getting them locally. Have you been...
  122. Wendyuk

    Joes sausages

    Lol! I suppose it did look like that. 8 in a pack and I bought 3 packs of each and 4 of the chipolatas. Wanted the free delivery, free if you order 16 packs. There's also a minimum amount you can order, I think it's 6 but then you have to pay delivery. Alot of them are syn free but check...

    Really Worried

    It's good to see you're staying positive as like you say not the worst! I've only been doing SW for a few weeks but like you I don't feel like I'm on a diet at all. If I do STS or have a small gain, I've already decided to stick with it and try other things till I get it right. Good luck with...

    Has anyone quit smoking while following SW?

    Well done mumtheshopper! That's motivating that you've been off so long. It might sound daft but when I gave up before I carried a bottle of water with me and just kept sipping from it. Taking the lid on and off kept my hands busy and I felt like I was putting something in my mouth lol (oo er...

    So, given up smoking today and used all my syns for the week

    Thanks Donnie I've heard good reviews about both but am leaning towards Sherlock Holmes. Suppose I should ask hubby what he wants to see he's still snoring in bed though after a long shift rescuing mountains lol. Oh well he's pretty easy going I'm sure he'll go with what I suggest ;)
  133. Wendyuk

    Has anyone quit smoking while following SW?

    Oh D-Day for me too! There's some threads on here re stopping smoking if you have a quick search, might give you some motivation or advice. Are you using anything? I'm using patches because I think if theres something out there that will help I'm going to use it! The inhalators are good too...

    So, given up smoking today and used all my syns for the week

    Get a new batch of syns tomorrow lol. Anyhoo, instead of going to the pub (it's a day off for both me and hubby quite rare as we both work shifts) I'm thinking about the cinema tonight. Any recommendations? I've had a look and quite fancy avatar 3D or sherlock holmes, but any other recs...

    Pork and cajun spices yummm! You could also chop them up and put them in a stew with lots of veggies.

    Confused re: Pitta Breads HEB.

    I saw this post and was a bit confused too! It says on BO 57g of wholemeal (except pitta bread) but I've just scrolled right to the bottom and it does say Asda 6pack pitta bread 1 from it as a HEB. Good to know! Wendy

  140. Wendyuk

    Anyone else ever considered....

    Please don't do this! As has been said it's a false loss you're only losing water and would have to do it every week. My mom used laxatives alot when she was younger not to lose weight but because she suffered terrible constipation. Her bowels have now become 'lazy' and she now has to use...

    I'm so despondent, STS again

    Sara I really feel for you. :sigh: I would seriously consider the *week being to blame as I can gain 3 or 4lbs that week, so if you look at it like that you've probably lost. Well done on sticking with it I'm sure you will lose next week try not to let it get you down though easier said than...

    This may sound controversial and I don't mean it to but I don't get this 'duty' thing. Yes she's your mom and brought you up etc but does that then give her the right to treat you badly? I'm talking from experience I also have an up down relationship with my mom and I'm not averse to ignoring...
  144. Wendyuk

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    That's great she's done really well. But maybe the people that are doing red/green are doing it because they like it and are quite happy to lose weight a bit slower? I know I am. As Taz said lol

    KFC Chicken done the SW way

    Is there a difference between the bovril paste and just bovril? :confused: I found beef bovril paste on tesco online and chicken bovril (not paste) I've ordered both but I suppose I need the chicken bovril paste for this recipe? Wendy
  146. Wendyuk

    Perfect Breakfast

    Yes to a point, but the chewing also gets your metabolism going and then your body has to use energy to break the food down properly. If it's already broken down you use very little energy. And as already said you would probably use alot more fruit etc in a smoothie. It's the same with pasta...

    Puffed wheat

    Thanks again Circes, ohhh hadn't thought of that, mind you I don't know what it will taste like it doesn't have anything added at all. I suppose I could put a banana or artificial sweetner on it that should be nice. :)
  153. Wendyuk

    Thank you Circes that's very helpful :) Wendy
  157. Wendyuk

    Milk as a HE

    I always have 350mls skimmed milk as a HEA. I nearly always use it all (sometimes could do with more lol) but very occasionally I'll leave some. If I don't use it all does it then not count as a HE and do I have to syn it? :confused: TIA Wendy
  158. Wendyuk

    So proud of myself :) :)

    Well done! Swimmings great exercise.
  159. Wendyuk

    Puffed wheat

    I just ordered good grain company puffed wheat (on special at Tesco for 90p) It's 100% puffed wheat nothing added. Can I use this as a HEB? Online just says puffed wheat. If not the kids will eat it :) Wendy

    Please Help

    Sarah it could well be that! If you've got 'the runs' your body might be holding on to fluid. What sort of fruit do you eat? I find bananas do the opposite to me so maybe if you tried a couple of them? (to many boiled eggs too!) try drink plenty fluids so your body doesn't feel the need to...
  165. Wendyuk

    I'm either very sad or very organised....

    I'm still in awe at all the yummy recipes you can get at SW online and especially on here! Even my teenages sons and hubby like them.

    Awww Sarah I feel for you hun. I don't know if you're at work or home but what about filling up on free foods? You might find once you're full the craving will go away. Try and keep busy if you can. Good for you for posting how you feel it really is a problem shared a problem halved! Wendy
  168. Wendyuk

    Stopped making excuses

    Well done! That is impressive, changing your mind set is hard work, you've done that now and are well on your way. :)
  169. Wendyuk

    Please Help

    You've done fantastically so far Sarah, though it must be very dissapointing to gain especially if you've stuck to it. Just think of what you've lost so far and try and keep positive. :)
  170. Wendyuk

    What?? I cannot BELIEVE this!!

    Thank you :) I've said in previous posts I'm quite happy to stick to the diet enjoy it and lose slowly. I'm still in that mind frame and don't expect a good loss every week but it was a nice surprise :D
  171. Wendyuk

    WooHoooo

    That's fantastic well done!

    What a great idea! We may not be doing WW but it is low calorie food so the syns would be helpful.
  180. Wendyuk

    Anyone spend lots of syns on alcohol?

    You're so right. I don't mind if my weight loss is slow as I don't feel like I am on a diet anyway, and I would rather enjoy myself than restrict myself from things I like and feel miserable! :D
  181. Wendyuk

    Anyone spend lots of syns on alcohol?

    I use most of my syns on alcohol but I've given wine the heave ho, I love red wine but one glass so easily leads to another. I've been trying to spread it out through the week having 2 or 3 vodkas and diet lemonade a night. I've just started though and only weighed in last thursday so not sure...

    I don't believe it's anymore expensive to eat healthier if you make the right choices. Bottom line is though what's more important your health or money? If I was struggling with money I would cut back elsewhere. I never skimp on buying food as everyone has to eat and if it came to it I'd...

    Diagnosed with Lupus and put on Lupus - Can I still lose weight??

    I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. All I can suggest is reducing your sodium intake to stop the fluid retention. And drink fluids. But I'm not a Dr so would check with him/her first before you try anything different, especially as Lupus can affect your kidneys. What about searching for...

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    I wasn't offended at all Harry'sMom, perhaps I shouldn't have picked up on the term 'old school' and should have said that I think there are people that are eating Red/Green who would be willing to try EE but just prefer not to. :) I see what lizie means now, I was thinking outwith SW but yes...

  197. Wendyuk

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    I must say I am surprised to hear that people feel that way as 'normal' eating in my book (by that I mean when I'm not on a diet!) doesn't constitute eating lean meat and veggies! I don't think I would worry about not losing weight as it does sound ubber healthy to me. I can't understand why...
  198. Wendyuk

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    I think it's a shame to tar everyone with the term 'old school' because they don't do EE. I think the beauty of SW is that it does give you a choice and perhaps they just prefer Green/Red days. I can't comment on which is better for me as I haven't tried EE, but when I do I will have an...
  199. Wendyuk

    Am i missing something?? Calorie counting vs SW

    I don't know your hubbies stats but 1300 calories to me sounds too little for a man, a man should eat normally between 2000-2500 (depending on activity and up it if active) and to lose weight should drop by 500. Anything below 1500 will put a serious strain on your nurtritional intake and...
  200. Wendyuk

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    Should also have said I suppose on EE you can also fill up with mugshots etc if you want but at least you're getting plenty of veg alongside it. Again it's a choice if you want to indulge in the unhealthier side because I do personally think that mugshots, noodles and things cannot be the...
  201. Wendyuk

    Why are people afraid of EE?

    I don't think I'm scared of it per se, but yes I do think I'm comfortable (lazy might be a word lol) because I don't have to think too hard because I know the plan. I would like to try EE at some point but having just started back I'd like to get into the swing of the diet again. I think...

    Feeling really hungry!

    Thanks for your reply penguin. I did a quick search online (why didn't I do that before? duh!) and they are an alternative but I think after a quick read they don't have the same toxins, so not sure if I should use it to help me give up or not.

    Did I make a booboo?

    I e-mailed either SW or WW a few years ago regarding this and got an e-mail back saying it was fine, I've done it since, thing is I can't remember which plan, but if one says it's ok I would think it would be ok for the other? Wendy
  211. Wendyuk

    Did I make a booboo?

    That sounds lovely, I'm not bothered about the chicken sitting in it but if it makes it more tender yum. Might have a look for that thanks. Thanks for that Fern because it does taste soooo much better cooked like that, and I suppose the amount the veg can soak up might not be that bad. Oh well...

    They say unlimited, but I don't think it's true

    Is that not the same as eating until you are comfortably full? It's no longer unlimited. I know it may seem like semantics but I can't see how you could eat and eat all day (even if it is free foods) and take in a large amount of calories that you're not burning off and still lose weight. I...
  215. Wendyuk

    I dont know what to do!

    I think you're doing better than you think Pizzle, 7lb in 8 weeks is nearly a 1lb a week if you look at the overall picture. The gain last week could have been you're body replenishing it's fluid after you being ill. Stick at it I'm sure it will work for you :) Wendy

    I think you said it just fine, we're not discussing anyone in particular just the subject, and I think it's an important subject because it is an integral part of SW and I think it does confuse things when they say 'unlimited'. I agree it should be stressed at the meetings about eating till...

    They say unlimited, but I don't think it's true

    I can't say it better than what's already been said just thought I'd add on another SW forum (a good few yrs ago) there was a lady who's weight loss was pretty slow but then she posted up she was sometimes eating 10 mullerlights a day! That's a 1000 calories, and that was on top of eating lots...

    I can't beleive this

    Yasmine I really feel for you :( Last time I did SW about my 3rd week I gained 5lbs and I had been sticking religeously to the diet hadn't gone over my syns and was absolutely gutted! Turned out because I had gone out the night before with friends and had been drinking vodka, it was all...

    What do you think of body optimise?

    I use bodyoptimise. I think it has some fantastic features but I don't find it particularly motivational besides the food diary where I can keep track, it's amazing how quickly syns add up if you keep track of them. I use this forum as my motivation and it's here 24/7 unlike a class. Keep...

    First Week - Feeling Miffed!

    Lily I know how you feel especially when you've been sticking to it 100%, but 2lb is a good loss. I lost 2lb my first week on SW the first time I did it, but as Jaylou say's I had come straight onto SW from another diet so had no fluid to lose. That's all they have lost mostly fluid. I always...

    Stopping smoking whilst on SW...Slow down weight loss??

    I've got one of those my mom gave it to me and I've tried it and it's really good. Only thing is I have no packaging to get the name etc to search for, and have run out of the capsule thingies, do you know where I can get more of them? TIA Wendy

    Stopping smoking whilst on SW...Slow down weight loss??

    Smoking DOES boost your metabolism, it IS an appetite suppressant, and it damages your taste bud so that food doesn't taste as good anymore. That's the positive sides of smoking, 3. I or anyone could list ALOT more negatives, strain on your heart, lung disease (a multitude) death! I'm...

    Does drinking water speed up weight loss?

    hee hee :D
  230. Wendyuk

    If I got swimming every day this week until weigh in ....

    Well I think 28 is pretty good for a first! If you keep adding you will get there just take it at your own pace. Lol I need the psycological tricks too. It def helps and if means you get home quicker for you treat go for it! :D

    If I got swimming every day this week until weigh in ....

    I don't know how long you've been swimming Emma but the first week I started I think I manged about 20 and I remember coming out of the pool thinking I might pass out lol! Took me awhile to get to 70 I just kept building it every week till I got there. My trick to myself was 'you can rest for...

    Does drinking water speed up weight loss?

    I would say yes. The liver metabolises fat, and if the kidneys are water deprived, the liver has to 'pick up the slack' therefore lowering it's productivity rate, and metabolising less fat. I'm lucky I love water and I find the best way to get my intake is to have bottled water handy. I prefer...

    If I got swimming every day this week until weigh in ....

    I was swimming alot up until recently when I let my membership lapse! I was swimming at one point up to 6x/week and doing between 70-100 lengths in about 40-50mins. That was before I was doing SW and was just following a diet at home. I did build muscle because try as I might I couldn't get...

    So, I was getting something out of the freezer for tea

    LMAO! That made me smile :D Isn't it funny? I took a pack of 2 out (cause they were stuck together of course :D) And all I could manage was 1 with 2 small baked potatoes as a HE and some veggies and I only ate 1 of the potatoes! Now if you had said to me you can only have 1 I would have eaten...

    anyone know if Lidl Kania Savoury Rice is free

    This is what the calculator gave me using the rice as a free food on a green day: 11 Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy 11 Syns per package/portion on Green 23 Syns per package/portion on Original Hope that helps its a bit confusing it gives you the 202 serving? I could only work it out...

    Extra Easy P*ssed Off.

    OMG that had me in stitches! :D Kaymarie, what about going for a brisk walk or something? Might burn it off? Mind you I doubt you've done that much damage, but just a thought. Wendy

    So, I was getting something out of the freezer for tea

    You can have my share too! Like Hayley I was surprised because I love salmon. Mind you don't like tinned salmon either and the really sad part is I prefer farmed salmon to fresh. It's because its fattier how bad is that lol Wendy

    Crisp maker

    Just looking at it again Hayley that's a really good price. Would you let us know how you get on when you get it? How good they are and especially how easy and quick or it will end up gathering dust in my cupboard! Def tempted but I'd rather pick your brains first if you don't mind lol. Wendy

    Red Day Bacon soup

    Made this today it's yummy! I've prefixed red day but you could the use bacon as your HE on a green day if you weigh out 57g, and then thicken it with potatoes tho I haven't tried it that way. 1 large onion 2 carrots 1/2 butternut squash Stock (I used a stock pot, don't know how much water I...

    'MAGIC PORRIDGE'

    I suppose it does have a 'kind of chewy consistency' but I liked that. Didn't find it tough tho. Maybe as Donnie says you need to add a bit more liquid or leave a bit longer. But you're right not everyone's going to like it or that would be strange lol! Got an image of us all being stepford...
  245. Wendyuk

    Right I have had enough...

    Looking at your stats you lost 37.5lb and have gained 6? That's not undoing all your effort thats a blip! And you're still going to class good for you! No-one's perfect all the time and well done you for catching it before you did undo it all. Good luck it will feel good to get back on track...

    I think that looks really good! I had one but without the slicer and was put off by all the fiddling slicing and trying to get them the right thickness so that should be quick and easy. Wendy

    Eggs?

    Mmmm I love fried eggs never thought of doing them in water what a good idea! A tip for boiled eggs, bring water to boil and put in the egg, put a lid on the pot and turn off the heat (I have gas so it's instantaneous with electric you would have to move plates) with a medium to largish size...
