Hi, I'm just wondering how long it took for other peoples deliveries to arrive. I was sent a tracking number yesterday, i have been tracking it and it left at 3.25pm yesterday and wont be delivered until tomorrow. I'm just a little concerned at how long they have been in transit as it is meat...

Another beetroot lover here, i have it most days.

When i first started SW i suffered severe headaches every day for nearly 2 weeks solid. I had never experienced this before. I tried ruling everything out from sweetners to choc and even pineapple as i was eating a lot of it. But the headaches continued after ruling them out. Thankfully after...

I bought this tonight. Going to make the savoury spicy mince with swede mash for dinner tomorrow. Will also try the curried egg mayo salad and chicken bhuna with cinnamon rice - I love chicken bhuna;)

OMG lost 5.5lbs this week . Got my 2 stone award and won slimmer of the week. I'm so chuffed. Well done to everyone else.:D

I love extra easy, I started on 18 jan this year and i'm hoping for my 2 stone award. This will be my 8th weigh in since starting EE. I find it so easy to follow and i have never eaten so healthy and felt so satisfied with food for many many years.:)

I lurve the choc and fudge ones, they are delicious. ;)

Hi Tara and welcome to the site. Good luck with your SW journey. :)

Well done Maypole. Do they think you have lost it doing WW or do they know you are following SW?:eek:

My favorite is orange jelly with orange and chocolate sprinkle muller light poured over it. It's like jelly and ice cream and very very tasty.;)

I have both my HEX choices everyday and usually between 7-10 syns a day. I like the luscious lemon and choc and orange hi-fi sw bars and occasionaly a bag o velvet crunch crisps.:)

These are my favorites by far. ;)

Well done on your loss so far and welcome. :D

Excellent well done, i am so pleased for you.:)

Yeah that's what i have in the book as SF mostly fruit and veg:)

I just started January 2010 and its not superfree , I think you will find if you go back and look it is classed as a free food pages 16-18.

WOW you both look amazing have just taken a look at your picture in your album. Well done, what an inspiration you both are.:D

Yeah i know i was just getting carried away LOL ( but at this rate you ever know):rolleyes: My meals are always really bulked out with the superfree so i have no worries, but i love my veg. So i can see were people may fall especially if the don't like veg.

I honestly can't see how this would makes any sense. So would that mean if the 1/3 free was on the plate seperately you would have to eat it seperately - i.e you couldn't put the two foods into your mouth at the same time. :confused: I just don't see it. As said before the SW extra easy...

1.5lbs off this week, feel really pleased as i thought i had put on as i'm really bunged up this week. Also got my club 10 award :D Well done everyone else :)

Absoloutely it works if you follow it correctly. This is the first diet i have ever tried properly and have lost 24lbs in 6 weeks (my son 27lbs in 6 weeks) eating food i love. I'm never hungry between meals anymore and have re-educated myself about food and how to cook it the healthy way and...

Well done "White Tulip" on your first weigh in, what a great start. :D

Good luck for all Monday weighers today. Hoping to get my 1.5 stone award tonight;)

Good luck for tonight from a fellow Monday night weigher:D

Extra Easy is fab as is the Curry Feasts and Saucy secrets.:)

Hi i would say it's def realistic, thats 7lbs a month which would be a good steady weight loss. Good luck on your journey:D

My favourite is weetabix with splenda or Bacon , mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, beans and egg.

Well done WTG ,your on your way:)

19 lbs lost in 5 weeks = 3.8lbs a week:D

Thanks Meli, Yes he is delighted, 24lbs in 5 weeks, we both though the diet was too good to be true and have been proven wrong. We love this diet:D

We made this the other week out of the extra easy cook book and it was delicious. It goes really far too.:) Yours looks scrummy were having minced lamb curry left over from last night ;)

I have been doing it 4 weeks week1: 5lbs week2: 6lbs week3: 1.5lbs week4: 3.5lbs week5: ? Total 1 stone 2lbs I don't eat any bread at all now.

Totally agree Auctivia is great. Someone mentioned it on another thread 2 weeks ago and i have one everyday now. Have had no further constipated or bloated episodes.:D Also plenty water, beetroot & grapes helps. I also avoid banana now as i find the bung me up.

I,m having curried lamb mince with rice:D

Yeah you certainly can. This has been my 4th weigh in having lost 1 stone 2lbs in 4 weeks doing exactly that. I was sceptical and thought no way can i eat all this an lose weight. I still have my snack size toffee crisp and a mini milk ice lolly and don't feel guilty LOL.

I have also felt like that the other day. I agree with Meli maybe try bulking up your sandwich a bit more.

Good luck for today, kepping everything crossed for you :D

Had weigh in tonight and lost 3.5lbs and got my 1 stone sticker. Highly delighted more than i thought :) Lost 1stone 2lbs in total over my first 4 weeks. Congrats to everyone else on your losses:D

Good luck everyone for tonight's weigh in.:) I think i will loose a stone alone today on nerves LOL My 10 year old is going into hospital this morning to get 13 teeth out - 4 Adult teeth and 9 baby teeth.:eek: Nothing wrong with any of his teeth just he has 4 lots of double adult teeth and...

I will be enjoying the Syn free ones:) Love them with mullerlight and fresh pineapple.

Yes absoloutely fine to freeze as long as it has cooled right down.

Good luck for your first weigh in. I weigh in on a Monday too so will be nice to see how you are getting on in the Monday weigh forum:)

I have 6.5 stone to loose. Nearly lost my first stone and feel great, here's to the next 5.5. I would be happy with 2lbs loss a week, i have a wedding in August so i'm aiming for that and being able to buy something i really like to wear for a change.:D

Welcome. I'm sure you will love SW i follow EE and have never felt so full and lost weight at the same time. Good luck on your journey:)

Has to be cheese and onion pombears 4.5 syns and mini milk lollies for me:) When i'm needing something sweeter the snack size toffee crisp 7.5 syns.

Sorry i confused myself there with the superfree and free foods:confused:

Well done that's fantastic, Wish i could walk that far. I do walk my doggy 3 times a day though LOL;)

According to the new 2010 food optimising book - Garden peas & Petit pois are Superspeed and so are Baked beans in tomato sauce, it says choose fresh frozen or canned varieties and they both have these symbols HH - SS - F beside them.

I'm a Monday to which i like , as the others have said it is riskier to cheat on the weekends and makes you think. I like Mondays again as i get some good news with my weight loss and it gets me of to a happier start of the week.:)

LOL that would be great if you had really long hair. Could you imagine cut an inch of a week and loose an extra pound. I wish:rolleyes:

Thanks for the recipe Stacey :D will give that a go but will try it with a different topping don't really want to use the cheese sauce.

Hi i had that last week in my 3rd week for about 4 days. I think it is the body adjusting to all the new healthy foods. Bananas definately don't agree with me i can be constipated and have tummy ache for 2 or more days after eating a banana especially if it is not fully ripe. So i only eat...

I use tesco healthy living extra lean steak mince totally syn free. It's £2.99 or two for £5.00 in tesco at the moment;)

Totally agree with Jaylou:), I make using the same recipe but add 1.5 tsp splenda to mine. Totally syn free and tasty. Takes 5 mins to make!

7/10:rolleyes:

17.5 syns ! Just a pure guess.

Thanks Jaylou, i had thought about that using the beef recipe, but i was interested to know if anyone had a creamy garlic sort of sauce rather than a tomato one.;) Maybe too much wishful thinking on my part LOL

Does anyone have a recipe for chicken lasagne, really fancy it with chicken instead of beef. Would be really greatfull. :D

Well done Sara on your loss and reaching your 1/2 stone award:)

Well done, i bet that has made your day. I'm the same size as you and height;) I look forward to the day i have 1 chin LOL

Have just ordered my Actifry from Tesco Direct costs £144.97 but i managed to get mine for £89.97 - Just remembered i had got £55 in clubcard vouchers in the post yesterday, so used them online :D Pick it up after 4pm Monday, i can't wait to start using it after all the good reviews it has...

OMG! Made this tonight and it was delicious, my son used to love KFC and really enjoyed this. He can now take some of this to college with him and it it cold, he is so delighted.:p Had no mixed spice so used chinese 5 spice as an alternative and it was lovely.:)

You look fabulous, Wel done !

Well done Pesty, bet that's a relief LOL. I was like that last week and only lost 1.5lbs after sticking to plan - although i soon realised i hadn't really eaten enough so think that could have been a factor too, felt so bloated and heavy . So got stuck into the fruit , changed from mullerlight...

Well done Heaven WTG :D

Thanks for this Hellie, i love fish soup.

You can find speed soup here - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/136819-12-speed-soup.html Helps to boost your weight loss.:D

Well done, hope you have many more weigh ins as successful:p

In the new 2010 directory that's the proper syn values for 120g packet excluding milk & butter in it's dried form.:eek:

Hi i have the new purple directory and it's listed under smart syns as - 0.5 for extra easy 22.0 for red 0.5 for green

Hi Lexi and welcome, i'm new to this site and it has been a fantastic support to me so far. Good luck on your journey and congrats for your weight loss so far.:D

As Pesty said there is a SW certificate on the website. Also our consultant gave us the flyers for the website, and told us all they were certified syn free. I,ve been toying with getting some as i miss sausages too.

Have you tried beetroot. I love beetroot and it has natural laxative properties, which should help you to get moving:D

3rd weigh in - Lost 1 1/2lbs:D this week, really pleased as not been feeling to great, still a positive loss. Hope to loose same again next week to get my 1 stone sticker.;)

Good luck today for WI everyone. I weigh in tonight and i'm not feeling confident. I have stuck to plan all week, but not been feeling great, got headaches and the start of a cold and been feeling a bit bloated. But fingers crossed all the same:rolleyes:

I have just checked the new 2010 food optimising book we recieved in our packs and the ones you can have as HEB from weight watchers are - 3 slices Weight watchers brown danish 400g loaf 2 slices Weight watchers wholemeal 400g thick slice loaf. Hope this helps.

I thought it was only the WW Danish brown you could have 3 slices off. 2 slices of any other WW 400g loaves.

I did wonder if i am drinking enough. I also just did a google search relating to pineapple + headaches - Pineapples are there so too is artificial sweetener. I need my splenda for my cuppa so i really hope it's not that.

I would like to be 12 - 14 as i was at my healthiest and felt happy at that size.

I wear the same trousers and top in different colours:)

This is my 3rd week on SW EE plan, it's been going great, but this is the 4th day running i have had a headache:confused:. I was just wondering if anyone else suffered similar symptoms when changing diet, or maybe it could be something new i am eating or withdrawal symptoms LOL I have been...

Well done Sharon :)

I felt exactly the same way as you, that there was no way i was gonna loose eating all i was. This is the first diet i have ever tried and i'm so pleased i did , you will be too , believe me. I'm actually eating more now than i ever did, but far healthier and feeling great for it. Good luck...

I won basket at our group last week and in it was - Mug shots, spices, mackerel, sardines, fry light spray, lots of low fat noodles, ryvita crispbreads, beans, all things along those lines, but not one piece of fruit in there :sigh:

:D These sound great , must give them a go. Must try the new potatoes as well.

:D Thanks for the recipe, i made this tonight, but instead of liquidising it i chucked all the ingredients in the pan adding chicken just before the curry powder then the rest and let it simmer for an hour, added yoghurt at the end. I wanted a quick curry sauce and this was lovely i really...

:o I have to give this one a try at the weekend, sounds really nice going by all the comments.
