Tonight i needed something super quick and free as we're just about to run out the door for a friend's birthday (read: alcohol hehe) so I had Marshall's cheesey pasta with broccoli and tomatoes mixed in.

Baked potato with mackerel, cheese and salad, finished off with a mullerlight. Stuffed!

hey guys, I re-started SW at home 5 weeks ago now and last week got my 1/2 stone star. Had a really bad weekend foodwise last weekend, and it's coming up for my * week so i was expecting a gain this morning. I put on 1lb, but this week i'm determined to stick to plan 100% and get a decent loss!

ended up using morrisons BBQ marinade that i had in the cupboard, works out at about 5 syns for 80g - which is plenty for coating 8 drummers. so works out at 2.5 syns for 4 legs! Not bad for something super quick and easy!

oooh! sounds interesting i'll have a look, although, i do suspect that I won't have everything i'll need for it in the house, since it's the end of the week and i'm running low on supplies so i'll probably cobble something together with what i've got in and make the one on here another time...

I've got chicken drumsticks in the fridge to use, so willprobaby concoct some sort of BBQ marinade to go on them along with sweet potato wedges and a salad.

had my left over roasted mediterranean veg pasta, now i'm stuffed!

we're having beef & medaterreanian veg pasta tonight!

Baked potato with cheese & salad + activia yogurt.

butternut squash soup + cheese & ham toastie (HexA+B) - yummy!

Gammon steak with egg, veg and 227g of potato wedges Today is my last red day this week, and can't wait for my pasta indulgence tomorrow!

Goodness! i've been struggling with my red day today and was so hungry at work i couldnt WAIT to get home and have my dinner. The above has STUFFED me! I ended up not having the lettuce, but it was SO delicious!

Morrisons also have cherry toms for 45p!

Grilled chicken breast, roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, bacon, guacamole (1.5 syns) lettuce and cheese.

sweet potato & BNS soup, 2 hard boiled eggs, wafer thin ham

B&M sell silicone cupcake/muffin trays and cake tins for £2 and ikea do the silicone icecube trays in different shapes.

god i could have writen this myself a couple of weeks ago! 3 out of 4 weeks of the month i can avoid chocolate and not bother about it, but that one week, NOTHING will do until I have a chocolate fix, a craving that a couple of mini chomps just won't cure. I got round it by not having any...

My hubby just eats what I make for me, he's quite good and he knows it's not bad for him. He doesn't like ready meals and fast food - i've clearly trained him well! If there's something he'd rather have the full fat version of, like fish in batter, i'll get him that and i'll have the SW friendly...

left over turkey chilli with a baked potato and FF greek yogurt.

Right, this is my BIG monthly shop, I top up on fresh things or stuff i've run out of (my kitchen is TINY) every week. Fruit & veg: 2 x whole pineapples bananas red onions mushrooms big bag of baking potatoes carrots sweet potatoes cherry tomatoes mixed peppers 2 x cooked beetroot shredded...

yeah they're skinless and boneless :)

hubby is making his awesome chilli, actually can't wait!

Baked potato, cheese (hexA) and salad.

I realised once i'd taken them out of the oven that I'd put in my last asda one rather than one of the aldi ones (doh!) so still to try the aldi ones unfortunately! I found the asda ones to be quite peppery though.

mushy pea curry and a cheese toastie today!

I have Chicken tandoori masala in the slow cooker to be ready to munch when i get home tonight!

No probs! I had to put all the info into the calculator before I even picked them up, just to make sure! I couldn't believe it! I have one of them in the oven just now with some SW chippies I shall report back once i've scoffed it!

Aldi northern catch lightly dusted cod fillets, 3.5 syns for proper breaded fish! Amazing! The asda and tesco versions are 5 syns, so 3.5 is fab! Fish n chips will never be the same again! Nom!

on a baked potato, with cheese on top and stuck under the grill to melt OR on toast with cheese on top Or mixed into a tomato & veg pasta sauce. I LOVE mackerel!

cod and sw chippies with steamed veggies tonight!

SW lasagne and a baked potato

Tonight is gammon steak, egg, chips and salad

venison sausages, gravy, mash and veg tonight! End of the month and scraping the bottom of the freezer to get me to the end of the week! Forgot i had so much venison in there!

left over paella, i could actually eat it all day it's so tasty!

It's yummy! It's like beef, but deeper in flavour. The highland game venison sausages and meatballs in asda are about 0.5 syns each, and taste like proper sausages/meatballs cos i really don't like morrisons eat smart ones.

venison meatballs, tomato sauce and spaghetti, mmmmmmmmmm yummy!

chicken prawn and chorizo (2.5 syns) paella. Havent had it for ages, i can't WAIT.

ooooh! I didnt know that! thanks!

I've tried the mexican chicken (next to the dahl and veg chilli) which is 1 syn for the whole tin, and it's tasty. Only just realised the veg chilli was free so will be buying some for my cupboard! I've had the free from 3 bean tinned chilli, but i can't get it anywhere anymore so this would...

cold bacon & red onion SW quiche with LF supernoodles. Yum!

Just had this and it was actually really tasty! Moreso than i was expecting! Yum!

didnt have time to prepare anything for today, so i'm having LF super noodles with chilli chicken breasts. fruit for afters.

tonight i'm having lightly dusted cod (5 syns) and sw chips with peas. yummy!

baked potato with hex of cheese and mackrel in tomato sauce, before a session in the gym.

This is exactly why you should measure and weigh yourself :)

bbq chicken salad - stuffed now! I'm too lazy at the moment to make anything else for lunches so it's been salad the last few days.

why not? I chose dried potato flakes - which they're made from, and it was the second highest ingredient to water, so why not? sod it, i'll make them myself :p

Up here in scotland, we enjoy nothing more than potato scones with our fried breakfast. This morning i fancied a SW fryup, but have been really missing potato scones and since i had a packet of Mortons potato scones in the fridge, i thought i'd calculate how many syns would be in one of them...

pasta with home made vegetable sauce with a little bit of chorizo (2.5 syns) mixed through.

urgh! today was an absolute FAIL. I was struggling for inspiration, so I thought i'd have a salad with a tomato & herb mug shot. Except I then went to get ready for work and forgot to make the salad, so all I had with me was the mugshot, which was FAR too salty for my taste, so that went in the...

Probably going to be pasta with a tomato and veggy sauce. Nice and quick before the gym.

I use frozen smartprice sweetcorn from asda, less than £1. If i get the big tins most of it goes to waste, so the frozen stuff is fab for minimising wastage and works in everything i use it for (sauces/pizzas/salads).

hmmm, not decided yet.... either left over mushy pea curry, cooked "breakfast" or spag bol out the freezer. Something quick that I can have when i get in before going to the gym.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand your reasoning behind the paragraph being here in this thread. I don't have an issue with the fact that you do need to do a LOT of work before you notice a difference between fat and muscle mass - I agree, infact. I also know that some folk have a habit of...

I made these last night after a wee trip to asda - that low low spread was on offer at £1! bonus! - they're fab! I only made half the quantity, but they came out well :) got some for lunch today with some salad. :)

on the menu today is: SS soup followed by mini quiches with chicken salad and some LF coleslaw roll on 12 o'clock!

I'm sorry in advance for this rant, but this really annoys me, and I need to set it straight: "Muscle does not weigh more than fat, 1lb of fat weighs the same as 1lb of muscle" That's like saying nothing weighs more than anything else. Seriously? OFCOURSE 1lb of muscle will weight the same...

boo! :(

my tandoori masala creation.... as soon as hubby comes home.... i'm STARVING!

any idea if the cheese spead would count as a hexA?

oooh! they look AMAZING!! I think i might need to make some of these for my lunches.......

I've just made this cos i fancied a tomatoey curry for dinner, so kinda made it up as i went along. It seems to have worked quite well though!! ingredients: 1 diced onion 2 green peppers 2 tsp Tandoori masala powder 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 2 cloves garlic 1 tin tomatoes 500ml Passata 1/2 pint...

I just used the nutritional value from the asda website and put it into the syn calculator. I also started a thread asking someone to check it before I'd signed up again and couldnt check it myself. http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/183224-syns-asda-mexican-style-chicken-tinned.html

chicken breast, bbq sauce, bacon & melted cheese with SW sweet potato wedges :D cannot wait to take it out of the oven!!

SS soup followed by left over pasta with chicken, bacon, mushroom, onion & tomato sauce. Nom nom!

Asda's tinned mexican style chicken (on the same shelf as the dahl, stewed beef, chilli etc). Sooooooooo tasty, and only 1.5 syns for the whole tin! Great if you're in a hurry for dinner or for lunch if you've not had time to prepare anything. I've had it with rice and FF greek yog, and hubby's...

Just managed to try this! Every time i buy a tin, my husband scoffs it. Anyway, It's delish and sooo filling! It's a wee bit spicy, but i mixed in 1/2 my HexA of red. fat cheese and some FF greek yogurt and had it with some rice and low fat coleslaw. Now i'm stuffed! and it only cost me 3 syns...

I don't like pot noodles either, i only eat the pasta mugshots. As for super noodles, I only like the chicken normal ones, not a fan of the low fat ones :s

I have my drawer in work filled with roast chicken and tomato mug shots, with the occasional creamy cheese one if i can spare the syns. They're a godsend! They're fab in between meal times to just tide me over. I sometimes have them at lunch time too if i'm struggling towards the end of the...

Woohoo! I was hoping it'd be something fabulous like that :D New lunch time meal for me! Thank you!

Hi folks, I'm preparing for my first week back on slimmingworld for a good 6 months, so I haven't got a password yet, so was wondering if someone could check this out for me? whilst searching for the mexican cooked chicken on the asda website I found some tinned Asda mexican style chicken, and...

Thanks for emailling. I understand the reasoning behind the cooked/mashed fruit, however although, for example, tinned peaches are "cooked" - by which i'm sure they're just heat treated in hot water for a very short period of time - they aren't broken down. You're still eating a peach. I also...

I've not got a problem with SW, I don't think it's "torturous", but the reason I have fruit and yog in the morning is so I don't need to use my HEXs for my breakfast as I like a sandwich for lunch. Thank you for your replies, especially to Honeyoc who actually explained the reasons behind the...

I wouldn't buy fruit in syrup, i'd always buy it in juice or, on the rare occasion, water. Its not really a moral thing, most of the fresh produce in supermarkets is from far off countries even when they're in season in this one! My problem is, I don't like apples (they do something funny to...

tinned tomatoes are sat in tomato juice. If you drain the tinned fruit, what's the difference? I don't understand your point, sorry.

I also don't get why tinned fruit is synned but tinned veg is free..... but that's a WHOLE other story!

I know that tinned fruit is synned, and I've gathered the reason it's synned is because it's too easy to eat alot of it (more than 1 normal piece of fruit). What I don't get though, is, if you get for example peach segments tinned in juice, and you only eat say 4-5 segments (where the segments...

Ok, So i fell off the wagon BIG STYLE a couple of weeks ago, and just havent been able to get back on it due to birthdays, leaving dos, etc (not really a valid excuse, but my excuse all the same!) Anyway, I hate to think how much i've put on, and i'd rather not know right now, but i'm back on...

Aldi's super 6 this week are fab! small punnet of cherries punnet of nectarines (6) new potatoes vine tomatoes melon 3 mixed peppers all 69p each! Best super 6 for a while!

A lot of folk have a reaction to pineapple because it's so acidic resulting in ulcers, lesions and redness. One of my friends is allergic to the pectin in fruit, especially apples and pears which have a high concentration, so has to be very wary about what he eats and has to carry an epi pen...

at the weekends I like to have either poached eggs on a HexB of toast, or fried egg, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and lean bacon mmmmm! During the week at work I have HexB of bitesize shredded wheat, 1/2 HexA of skimmed milk and a banana.

Aldi do minted lamb shanks/leg steaks at 3.5 syns each. Asda do Extra special lamb shanks in mint gravy at 3 syns each

According to syns online, Non-branded Sausages, chorizo, 28g 2½ I use 112g in my chorizo, finely diced (I buy a sausage rather than the slices) in my paella, and it serves 4. It's the only syns in the paella (on EE), so, 2.5 syns per portion is worth it!

you can buy a tin of 3 been chilli by Free & Easy. I get it in asda, but I'm sure you'd be able to get it in other places where their "free from" range is. It's yummy and completely free on EE and green and no quorn! just beans and veg!

I agree, Planning my week ahead keeps me on track and saves us money. Because I work 9-5 5days out of 7, I tend to have the same thing for breakfast most days, and I usually have left overs from the night before, or a tin of ravioli/salad for lunch, so it's only really dinners I need to plan...

I can sympathise with you completely! I've had no chocolate for about 2.5 months, and the other day I had some and now I can't resist it. There's a bumper box of roses at the end of my desk and I can't stop munching them! GAH! Sometimes, even fruit and veg snacks just don't cut it. This week has...

as predicted, 2lb on this week. Probably my body getting over my sickness bug last week! Back on the wagon though! Yesterday was a dodgy day, but not *too* bad! Clean slate today and for the rest of the week!

I forgot to weigh myself this morning! I was so tired i was half asleep when I went for a shower and forgot *sigh* I shall weigh in tomorrow. I think i've put on this week though, i've not been strict enough with what i've been eating and pigged out since I was ill last week. Expecting a 2lb gain.

Paella Serves 4 200g chicken (boneless and skinless), cut into bitesize pieces fry light spray 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped 1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped 2 garlic cloves, peeled and pressed (I use lazy garlic cos I’m lazy) sea salt and ground black pepper 100g chorizo, diced 1/2...

I have 2 faves at the moment, first is: chicken breast stuffed with 1tbsp ex light soft cheese with garlic & herbs, all wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven, served on mashed potatoes and mixed veg - 1.5 syns for the cheese. Absolutely delish! My other fave, which I have for lunch today as...

I will never be under 25 unless I become uncomfortably thin. My boobs weigh about a stone between them, and i'm apparently "tall for a woman" so i'd be quite happy as a size 14. I was before and looked in proportion and not fat. yes I weigh more than someone who is textbook at my height should...

I use the tesco healthy living wholemeal rolls. 1 counts as a HexB, so if you're doing a red day you could have 2. Because I do EE, I tend to make 2 burgers and stick them in 1 roll with some bacon and cheese (HexA) and lots of salad & sweet potato wedges, with 1 tbsp of BBQ sauce (1 syn) yummy!

I have this (usually the asda equivalent) with raspberries and a mini meringue crushed on top! Yum! lovely low syn pudding :)

neither can my hubby, still the proof is in the pudding! My mum can't get her head around it either, she doesn't understand that you eat until you're full. She won't trust me that it works cos she keeps thinking about calories *sigh*

4lbs off this week! Due to gastric distubances, but as long as it stays off it's not such a bad thing! 5lbs off in total, 3lbs to go! Emzy22 - 10 lbs Lovely Laura - 11lbs scottsblue- 10lb -3lb 7lb to go lexie_dog- 10lb Bryony- 8lb lost 3lb 5lb to go:D emmaleonie1984-8lb gemma- 9lbs...

FOUR lbs off this week! I'm putting this wholly down to my digestive system's inability to work properly this week and me not eating for 36 hours. Still, as long as it stays off! It's given me a boost, and i've only got 2lbs to go till I hit my 1 stone award!

I guess, if you like the flavour of banana, you could use a banana custard mullerlight for a syn free custard layer?

ach, i'm an online member and I can't see it, but i'd LOVE a syns calculator app for the iphone, that's the one thing I need when i'm out shopping! I see something I fancy and need to know how many syns are in it!

i was in such a tizzy on friday I forgot to weigh in, so I weighed in on Saturday instead. 1lb off this week! Woo! Considering I had a korma mid week with a pint and pakora and peshwari naan, I think that's not bad! haha I bet I pay for it this week though!

I bought a pair of jeans in asda the other day for £10, 2 sizes smaller than I used to need for asda jeans to fit me, and they fit! I was down to my last pair of intact/fitting jeans, so thought i'd get a wee cheap pair to tide me over whilst I yearn for the size 14s :p

tonight, i'm going out for dinner with a whole bunch of friends that i've not seen in ages, unfortunately it's a curry we're going for, and rather than seem anti social, i've decided to take the syns on the chin. It's a buffet, so won't over-do it, but the korma, chasni, and garlic naan staring...

on EE it was only 2 syns for 28g of the cheese (tesco extra light soft cheese), and I used 3tbsp of skimmed milk for the mash, so 0.5 syns there. So a total of 2.5 syns per portion!

last night we had chicken breasts stuffed with garlic and herb flavoured extra light soft cheese wrapped with bacon, served with mashed potato, broccoli, carrots & sweetcorn. It was most delicious! Tonight we're having turkey & 3 bean chilli with sweet potato wedges! Yummy!

I have a budget of £50 a week between me and hubby and we don't scrimp on anything, and we're never hungry! But it does reduce the amount we waste! I plan what we're having for dinner/lunch for the week. Once a month i'll buy a big pack of turkey mince and split it in two, make a big pot of...

Tonight we're having home made beef burgers with salad and sweet potato wedges. NOM NOM NOM can't wait! Weekends are the only times I get to eat my HEXB as bread! And booooooy do I enjoy it!!

a thick doorstep slice of freshly baked crusty bread with real butter mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! other than that, not much, just the odd bit of chocolate...

tonight we've got Fruity pork steaks from good food here only 4 syns and it's SO yummy!

I would use my books when i'm not at my computer compiling my shopping list! It wouldn't be too much different to the online syns just now, just the ability to order them in a more helpful way. Yes, definitely this!

tonight we've got Fruity pork steaks from good food here only 4 syns for the whole recipe (red currant jelly) and it's SO yummy!

STS this week,* week starts in a couple of days so I suspect that's mainly why, although I was quite naughty for a couple of days last week! oops! Bring on a nice loss next week!

I think with how many folk are posting some of us are getting missed off the lists when they're being re-posted!

I don't have a written one to hand, I make it that often I know it by heart, but I'll see if I can type it out and post it up later :)

me too! Hopefully i'll manage to lose 8lbs! Emzy22 - 10 lbs Laura - 11lbs scottsblue- 10lb lexie_dog- 10lb bryony- 8lb emmaleonie1984-8lb Gemma_ - 9lbs tinkerbellsmum - 8lbs Inmydreams - 10lbs Kimmie32 - 7lbs sarahandmolly - 8lbs Margery Dawe - 10lbs Anna_Claire - 8lbs miss_emmajane - 10lbs...

Paella with chicken, prawns and chorizo (1.5 syns per portion). I can't WAIT!

yay! *waves* welcome cupotea :) x

woo hoo! I lost the 3lbs I pledged to lose last week! yay! which means i've lost my first 1/2 stone! :D not bad! Well done everyone :)

Ok, I've searched through my book, but to no joy. I'm going for a "coffee" on monday with one of my friends. I don't really drink hot drinks other than the odd options hot choccy, and i'm not likely to get a low fat one of them in 'bucks, SO I thought the "juice blend" frapp would be better. Can...

That's on the list above, it's free :)

I don't know how, probably last weekend catching up with me, although i thought that dancing non stop for 3 hours would have sorted that *sigh* - I put on 1lb this week. GRRR! I was so hoping for my 1/2 stone star :( just need to loose 3lbs this week I guess! On plan 100%!

Thank the lord that the vanilla & chocolate ones are free, they cure my chocolate craving after dinner, I looooooooooove them mmmmmmmm

thanks! It was my first proper weigh in, so i was quite chuffed, however, after the weekend i've had, i'll need to have a REALLY good week to be in with a chance of losing ANYTHING this week! Need to stick to plan 100% for the rest of the week!

Woo hoo! I was -5lb this week! :D

Hi guys, For some reason I can't access the database at work, and I don't have my books with me, so can someone help me out? I need to know how many syns are in 1 extra light laughing cow triangle, I've already had my HexA, so I need to syn it. Many thanks F

exactly, for the same sized piece of fat and muscle, muscle would weigh more. what was said above is like saying feathers weigh the same as cement. Yes, 1lb of feathers would weigh the same as 1lb of cement, but, comparing a 1cm cubed piece of both, the cement would weigh more. Which, generally...

STS this week, but I put that down to my chocolate binge last weekend!

He doesn't just "tone up" he does weights sessions at a body building gym, he needs more protein to rebuild his broken muscle than he can eat in a meal. He's already pretty big in the shoulders/chest, it's just his tummy that's bothering him. He does cardio for 30-60 mins before his weight...

Oh well, I guess it won't really work then, cos he uses 10 syns every day before he's even started... the thing is, it's not weight he's trying to lose, it's *fat*, and so if he's putting on muscle and loosing fat every week, he's likely to gain weight constantly (since muscle weighs more than...

My hubby is wanting to join me with SW, but he weight trains and has a protein shake every day made up with water, so would probably need to syn them, but we don't know what value to put on them. Since they're predominantly protein, I wouldn't have thought they'd be particularly high in syn...
