  129. peachy7

    Extra Easy Really struggling with the 1/3 Superfree rule

    I always throw a bit of rocket or some spinach leaves or something on the side of my plate if I dont think theres enough superfree, but just to echo what everyone else has said really, if its that you dont like veg chop it up really small, even blend it slightly if its going in something like...
  135. peachy7

    How many syns should I have each day

    well said by lolacola SW doesnt restrict if you have less to lose, thats WW!! It says 16 per day because you can have 15 per day and still lose weight

    What fish would you reccomend to a fish newbie?

    i get them in the chilled cabinet or off the fish counter, they do sell them frozen but i like to inspect what im buying!!! I have bought birds eye (i think) cook in the bag basa fillets before (in chilli i think) they were lovely
  137. peachy7

    Peachy's Food Diary - am gonna do it this time!!

    mikados are the long thin biscuity chocolate covered things, i will pm you the recipe, i think i may have posted it in recipes before but will take a while to find it
  138. peachy7

    What fish would you reccomend to a fish newbie?

    tesco, over £5 for 2 though!! but hubby loves them, it depends how long they are cooked they can go from lovely to dry in seconds, i usually just sear them or really keep an eye on them
  139. peachy7

    What fish would you reccomend to a fish newbie?

    seabass is the nicest although not that cheap, rainbow trout is lovely and very cheap, i always fry in fry light and add herbs/spices to it, last night i did tuna steaks marinated in lime and chilli
  140. peachy7

    Good Snacks to eat with little syns?

    I do eat jaffa cakes! mikados are another favourite, 2 finger kit kats (orange), 1 finger time outs

    Any Tips

    Indianthin meal

    Just be aware the portions you are served aren't always an average portion in the book, if you have a takeaway weigh it - my local chinese are fine but lots of others have said their meals are double in soze to the weight stated

    The Italian Job!

    Personally I would go with the Chicken Arrabiata, sounds nice and still italian, wouldnt imagine there could be much in the way of syns in it
  150. peachy7

    Does anyone else eat out often?

    I eat out alot, usually around 3 times over a weekend if not more, I just try to be very selective about what I have and make the best choices from the menus given with no starter or dessert, unless its for an occasion instead of meal out for the sake of it
  151. peachy7

    pizza hut........ HELLLLLLLP

    Their (Pizza Hut not Zizzi's) pasta dishes are brought in frozen and cooked in the microwave so I wouldn't have thought you'd have to worry about any oil in it
  152. peachy7

    How many syns should I have each day

    You can go upto 15 thats why it states 15.... if you are close to the end of your journey and your weight loss starts to plateau then your C may suggest dropping syns
  153. peachy7

    when are you Eating your Healthy extras

    i usually have 1 b at breakfast or lunch, an a (cheese) at lunch or dinner and milk(A) and 2 alpen lights (B) after dinner as I always want a chocolate fix then
  154. peachy7

    How many syns should I have each day

    it's still upto 15 syns, having less won't mean you have better losses, lots of people find the more you have the more you lose.

    Does Slimming World work for everyone? Not sure..

    This is because if you exercise regularly say 3 times a week half hour at a time every week your body gets used to it, whereas if you only exercise every now and again your body will retain fluid

  177. peachy7

    A question

    Has anyone ever heard of people being allowed extra syns due to their size??? (Starlight I posted in here cos although its sort of about syns its not really if that makes sense as its not values I'm asking- hope thats ok and sorry if i've been a pain and you have to move it!!)

    Apple and cherry sourz?

    I imagine they're full of sugar so would prob be quite high, you'd be better with vodka and white rum (not malibu)

    Hungry....

    lots of people mistake hunger for being thirsty so you should always try and have a drink (they say water but im sure tea is just as good) when you feel hungry, then if you're still hungry then eat something
