Thanks everyone! This has really helped to know that i'm not the only one. The 'if you're not hungry for free food then you're not hungry' phrase will definately come in handy and even though i've never tried a chicken dhansak but i think i will! It's so comforting to hear from all of you and...

Hi all, I've been doing SW for 7 weeks and up until now i've found it a lot easier than i first thought it would be. I've eaten all the free foods i can and had my syns and HEs. I've even allowed myself the very very very rare takeaway :) So why now after i've lots 12lbs and feel amazing do...

I'm Becky and i go to Tracey's Tuesday evening class in Minchinhampton, Glos. I'm well on my way to being a skinny minny and i LOVE it!!! :D

Ooooh! Same here! Great minds.... :p

AMAZING! Couldn't live without it!!

Can anyone tell me if the recipe below for crisps would be syned on EE... Very thinly slice Potatoes and/or Parsnips season with salt, spray with Fry Lite and bake?

Wow! 5lbs! Thats brilliant!! I stayed the same and am more than happy!!! Go us!! lol :D Good luck with the holiday! x

I'm having the same problem with treatsize bags of the buttons! Why don't they put weights on???

I love to run and hit my 10 minute mile last week but i'm rubbsih at doing it alone! My friend always comes with me - i don't have the motivation to run by myself but i always try to walk for half an hour in my lunch break. Try exercising with a friend, just go for a walk - you're supposed to...

Does anyone know the syn value of the smallest bag of Milky Bar Buttons - they're called 'Treatsize' but the packaging doesn't state a weight???

Hi bugaboo, I know the feeling! Cider is my downfall and thats 12 syns for 1 pint! The way i look at it is to allow myself 1 pint after weigh in (to congratulate or console!) and 1 (sometimes 2) over the weekend. You appreciate them soooo much more as there's only one but your not missing...

I agree with Mrs V - i'm sure everyone has little set backs and even if you do put something on this week it's not the end of the world! Think positive - this weekend i used 100+ syns in 3 days but i enjoyed what i ate and drank and am accepting that i will put on this week but i have set myself...

Ha ha ha! I've got one to beat you all... Just got back from a long weekend away and managed to use over 100 syns in 3 days! Oh the joys of visiting cider country!!! ...and i've only been on the plan for 3 weeks! Got straight back on track today though with fruit for breakfast with grilled...

Thank you to all you lovely people for helping me when i felt down this morning. On your reccomendations i have eaten my healthy B otpion (Hi-Fi Bar), used 5.5 syns on a packet mix for cottage pie and am currently eyeing up a treatsize bag of milky bar buttons! This has helped loads! I feel...

Thanks HellieCopter!! That really helps, i do struggle to eat varied HEs as i can't live without tea with milk and i'm not fussed on any of the Bs so maybe i should try and fit it in somewhere.... and using my syns on a pint of cider every so often doesn't sound that bad..... :)

Thanks i understand that but i still don't understand how i manage to stear clear of most syns and still don't loose as much as everyone else. Should i maybe start doing the green or red days as apposed to EE?

But syns are bad things??? Our leader says you are allowed 5-15 syns a day - not you have to have them.

I had my second weigh in last night and i lost 2lbs. On my first week our leader asked all the newbies how much they lost and every single one (and there were a lot!) said between 5 and 9lbs - i lost 3.5lbs. I took this with good grace due to the time of the month thinking i'll loose more...

I'll try and put the recipe on here tonight for all those without it. I used the Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli dipping stuff too and got the Harissa powder from an spices stall at our local market - glad to hear it's in Tescos now though - thanks karengee (i'd thank you for the post but i don't...

If anyone hasn't tried the Sweet Chilli Chicken recipie from this months SW magazine then please please do!!! Its possibly one of the tastiest meals i've ever had and its SW approved!! What more could you wish for??? :):):)

Thats ok - this is definately worth 5 syns!! Yum yum yum!

I think i may have found my pudding for tonight!! Thanks!!!

Thank you!! :)

...and if Muller Lights weren't good enough already they went and put chocolate sprinkles in them!! lol :D

Sorry all and thanks for your help I guess this is one big learning curve for me! One other thing jerricebenton... where does it say a banana is 4 syns? "4 for the banana" I don't mean to be rude but my book classes them as a superfree food? Do you mean it is 4 when made into a smoothie? I'd...

Please tell me this is a joke? I've only been doing this for a week now but you mean to tell me that if i eat banana then some blueberries then a yogurt then its syn free but put them all in a blender and its synned??????? Oh dear, not feeling quite so optimistic now :(

I don't always have time for breakfast so yesterday i discovered an amazing smoothie that's syn free and fills you up! Take 1 banana and a handful of frozen blueberries add to a food processer or mini blitzer with a Muller Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt and mix! So yummy and so much cheaper that...

Hi everyone! I've been doing SW for a week now, got weighed last night and lost 3 1/2lbs :) I'm really quite excited about a diet where you eat LOADS and still loose weight! Genius! I've already tried quite a lot of recipes but getting a bit bored of everything being tomato based. Hoping...
