Was in Waitrose yesterday and saw three new flavors of beans, Tuscon, Fajitas and Veg Chilli. Anyone know the syn values of these. Thanks in advance Sent from my Nexus 7 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I totally get where you're coming from. I restarted in January full of motivation. Managed to lose a stone and a half and got my Club 10. Then over the space of a weekend life got in the way and that motivation switch in my head just turned off! For the past four weeks I have managed to put 8lbs...

I'm on nightshift from tonight for three nights. Before I restarted SW I just ate rubbish for the sake of it. But I've got to be more organised so I've made superfree soup, for three nights. I'll have that with 2 slices small Hovis (HEB) with Laughing Cow spread (2 syns). I'm also taking...

Are the Asda frozen meat free quarterpounders really only 1 syns. Think I'll be trying those.:)

Hi Vixxster, You sound fab!!! It takes alot to be brave enough to come back. I first started SW back in Liverpool 15 years ago after my son was born. Guess what I still weigh the same as I did before I started but know in my heart of hearts that this is the best plan for me. My trouble is...

Hi, Want to restart but can't get to class as I generally work 12hr night shifts. Has anyone tried SW Online. Is it worth the starting fee (£60 initially for 3 months). Or would it be better to be more active in this forum. Would like to hear from anyone who has tried it. Thanks for replying

Hi, Does anyone know the syn values of these. Also I wonder if any of you have used these in cooking. Really fancy making a creamy chicken soup. Any ideas??

Hi, I've done SW so many times before and keep coming back to it because its such a good choice. I think the key though is your mental approach to eating. You have to be motivated. I bet there's loads of us out there who go so far, do well then completely blow it because you take your eye off...

Just tried a new Ainsley Harriott pea and mint risotto in a packet. Anyone have any ideas as the syn value. Thanks :)

I think at the end of the day the only person it will bother is you. I bet you'll find most women will look at your new lovely slim figure with total envy. Who cares about a bump or two. I've got the whole muffin top with added topping going on. Embrace your body and flaunt your stuff :cool:

I know this may appear a bit dumb but why are somethings free on red and green and 0syns on EE. Isn't it the same thing??

Hi, Does anyone have the syn values for Golden Wonder Nations Pot Noodles and Pasta. I think they do a chip shop curry flavour and a macaroni cheese or any other flavours before I go shopping tomorrow. Thanks alot

Just finished 'Cutting for Stone' by Abraham Verghese. Really good story not the usual thing I would go for. Have been following the TV Book Club on More4. Read most of them up to now and they have all been really interesting. Can recommend the list.

Been in work Sunday and yesterday. Tend to prepare bulk meals so have the same each day (I work 12 1/2 hour shifts). I find if I'm organised I keep on track even when there are Thorntons chocolates floating round the ward. Feel very proud of myself for resisting though!! Saturday 13th March...

I've read somewhere that quark is nice with a white chocolate option stirred through it. Has anyone tried this or with the dark chocolate options?

Well done. I was on night shift earlier this week and you end up eating such weird things at such strange times. Especially the first night when you are up for almost 24 hours. Your meals sound delish by the way :)

I've been having sugar free jelly (2syns) whisked up with Total 0% greek yoghurt. One sachet does 4 portions so only 1/2 syns per serving - it goes like a mousse. The raspberry one is lovely

Well done you

This may be a really dump question but what's velvet crunch?

Six stone, thats amazing Stacey. As a newbie with a long way to go can I ask how long it has taken you to get here? Well done :)

All the talk of burgers and SW chips - think thats tea sorted tonight :)

I find red days difficult too. I feel I can eat loads on a Green or EE day. Especially when your looking for something quick mug shots are a life saver. I don't think red days give you this flexibility. I do tend to try and drink plenty though as the day goes.

Hi Bailey, I'm new here as well. Started back on SW on Monday although not going to classes cos I'm working shifts. I think you'll find loads of support here though. Everyone seems really supportive and full of good ideas. Remember we are all here for the same reason. Good luck with tonight...

Hi, Does anyone have suggestion to spice up some chicken breasts. Can't decide whether to wrapped in bacon with something like potato bake or go for spicy/sticky chicken with wedges?? Any ideas

Hi there, Started back on SW on Monday. Doing an eight week sponsored slim in work so have to NOT show myself up. Went to Boots on Monday for a print out of my weight. Already knew my weight and height so had a good idea of my BMI, but OMG my body fat percentage was 41%. That means I'm almost...

Hi Mini, Just wanted to say you have done amazingly well and look great. You have also managed to gather thousands of like minded people to provide support and help. I'm really new here but have struggled with my weight for years. I like the fact this site is so all encompassing - no one is...

Really interesting to read the history of the site. Its amazing that so many of the original members are still active and have accomplished their weight loss journeys together. I like the fact that the site is all encompassing. We all have a different approach to weight loss but at the end of...

Just read all the posts. Your weight loss is amazing. You must be really proud of yourself.

Hi, I can completely recommend Sharon Penman's books. They are all realy fascinating especially the Welsh trilogy. Also Ken Folletts Pillars of the Earth and World Without End are massive books but completely engrossing. Mind you, you end up with a head full of trivia and weird historical...

Hi, Have just got back from Iceland (the shop:)) with a large bag each of Cauliflower Cheese and Broccoli and Cauliflower Cheese. You heat them in the oven. Don't suppose anyone has an idea of the syn value. Thanks alot MissMoneypenny

Hi there, Brand new today - although have been lurking for a bit. Basically I been on every diet and tried every fad. When I look back I tried to lose my baby weight just after my son was born. Anyway he's 15 in two weeks and I'm exactly the same weight I was when he was born!! SW has worked...
