I have been really naughty this week... and I gained 2.5lbs :( I just couldn't stop eating! and i've been craving chocolate like crazy... going shopping tomorrow, got a strict menu set for the week so I'm crossing my fingers for a big loss next week to make up for my gain

for the festival pear cider it's 12.5 syns lemon pear - 14 syns strawberry and mixed pear - 12 syns toffee apple - 13 syns all 500ml :)

I tend to get like that... but then I do other things in between vlogging, like comedy sketches n stuff I was gonna do a vlog specially for slimming world, about how I was doing a tips n bits... but then I'm not so good at keeping with one topic lol I love watching other peoples vlogs and even...

i've lost just over a stone now, and My size 16 jeans are really loose :D

I've been vlogging for the last 6 months... It's basically like Blogging but videoing yourself. I just wondered if anyone else on here does it :) Here my latest video... GE_2rJOLfF8

what a great thread :) mine are... 1. to be able to wear jeans and trouser without oozing over the top of 'em. 2. To not have to suck my stomach in for photo's 3. To not be grossed out when I see my double chin on video or in a photo 4. To wear a short dress to show off my legs :) 5. To not...

yeah! I've gotta put £3.50 in this week... but I also got my 1 stone sticker... so I'm gonna throw in an extra fiver too :D

I tend to use my HE's as a snack... if I want something more than fruit i first turn to my HE's. usually 2 or 4 alpen lights (depending on plan i'm on that day) or I have a HiFi bar... and I've always got babybels and extra light laughing cow cheese triangles to put on a bit of ham to snack on...

I did the same thing yesterday... people kept asking me for the recipe and so I ended up having to promise to bring it with me next week lol

everyone has done so well this week :D I lost 2.5lbs... just 1 lbs away from my first stone award

I've been thinking about his too... I decided that I'm gonna take out the money when I gain and put it towards more fresh fruit and veg in replacement of the sweet syns I usually buy myself for the week.

computer

I put them on photobucket and used a html code... 'cause I couldn't work out how to upload more than 1 picture lol Or you could take them into paint and save them together in one (if ya know what i mean... i'm crap at explaining lol)

i fry off some carrots and leek in frylight. Let them simmer in the chicken stock for a while and add garlic. boil the chicken and some chestnut mushrooms in the stock for 7 mins, take them out and slice up the chicken. Cook the noodles in the stock then serve placing the chicken and mushrooms...

well done! I sts this week :( so nothing in the jar for me this week

I lost 1/2 lb yesterday... so 50p in the jar for me this week :) Congrats on your 1/2 st award jojo :)

I lost half a pound! and I am over the moon! I was so naughty this week... went over my syns by approx 5 on 3 seperate days... not including one day when I went out and had a feast ice cream and a mcdonalds cheeseburger... It was a lucky escape for me to find that I hadn't gained... a shock to...

BOOB!

lmao XD erm... DOWN?

2lbs off for me this week! YAY! That's 10lb in 4 weeks! I'm so pleased :D My jeans wont stay up! and I'm out of the "obese" category on my BMI! Aiming for 4lbs next week... wanna hit my 1 stone award! and see if I can get SoW again :)

I just finished watching the japanese horror "Suicide Club" , "Audition" is another great one... My fave horror movie has got to be "house of 1000 corpses" though "Eden Lake" is another nice disturbing film :) It probably doesn't matter anymore lol... but there's a few ideas for ya anyway :)

I use that recipe, but add a couple of extra light LC cheese triangles to make it cheesier and a pinch of salt. Then mix in some cooked salmon :) It's my new fave pasta recipe

I love having a bowl of fruit (I usually have strawberries and grapes) topped with a muller light yoghurt (any flavour) and crumble up an alpen light on top (1/2 HEB or 3 syns)... gives you the sweet crunchiness... I usually have it for breakfast, but also good as a snack or desert

1. What was the turning point that got you to try SW? I recently found out that I have PCOS. I quit smoking and gained a stone, and now i'm working on my weight :) I'd helped out a couple of times at a slimming world class, but never done it myself. When I looked up online the bedt diet for...

I do the hot choc dessert with natural fat free yog instead... it's really creamy!

I use it to make a creamy pasta sauce, or used in the 1/2 syn roulade!

My WI is on a Wednesday... I find Mondays a bit of a struggle, but Tuesdays I just want anything sweet... Wednesdays i'm fine though lol... it's weird really

ooh... sounds good! I know what i'll be having for lunch tomorrow :D

They're 1 syn each! :)

bat

thanks for these! :D Gonna try that egg custard style desert! I love egg custard... and I never thought of quiche, what a great idea! CHEERS!

leg

I bought these the other week, and still haven't gotten round to using them. I'd read alot of recipes using them, but now i can't seem to find any and I'm not a fan of cottage cheese on it own... Anyone got any ideas for me before they go out of date? please!! thanks in advance :)

breast

all I could find was this one... Tesco Sparkling Spring Water, Naturally Sweetened with Real Lime Juice 250ml 2 Syns on Extra Easy...

I think they're free... all herbs and spices are

the skinny ones are 2.5 syns and the choc ones are 7.5 I've got some of these in my cupboard from ages ago... I love the chocolate ones but only have 1 a week 'cause of the syns :)

fairy

I like sucking coffee through a mint kitkat... yummy hehe

they're 3 syns each on red and EE, and 8 syns on green :)

Does anyone else get this? Towards the end of the SW week, like a day or 2 before WI i get the munchies and just start to loose it slightly (I just have 1 or 2 more syns than allowed). Then I go to class and get motivated to get back on track again. It's not really done any harm to my weight...

brick

mini chocolate twister lollies are 2 syns each... they're very chocolatey and creamy mmmmmmmm

They're 1.5 syns each so that's 9 syns for the pod

It's one of my fave chocs :) Never tried putting it in the freezer though... think i'll give that a go :D

Weight Watchers Raspberry & Strawberry Sugar Free Jelly Cystals, made up as directed, dried 204g serving ½ Syn on Extra Easy...

a 45g bar is 12 syns

I bought these the other day, and I have to agree... they are soooo good!

I've been reaching for FAB ice lollies lately... at only 4 syns each I've been having 2 a day for the last week :)

CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve it :)

here you go... Co-op Truly Irresistible, Mushroom Medaglioni Pasta, 300g pack, chilled 100g 4½ Syns on Extra Easy...

SHINY STICKERS ALL ROUND! lol They're so prettyyyyyyy :crazy:

I got Slimmer of the Week last week and got about 5 bananas (3 of which had started to go manky), 2 oranges and 3 satsumas, 2 apples (one red and one green) and a kiwi XD that made me laugh when I discovered this one lil kiwi hiding in the bottom of the bag. Today I took along an apple, a...

lost 1.5 lbs this week :) Which also gave me my half stone sticker :D so happy!

I've just thrown in another £1.50... could get a pair of knickers from Primark with that! lol

They're 1/2 syn on red & EE... and 4 syns on green :)

for a 28g bag = 5 syns 50g = 8.5 113g = 19.5

We just bring fruit... but I like the idea of putting in something that has helped you get throughout the week. I think the problem would be when people put in foods that are synned. At least with fruit you know you can eat the lot syn free

looks like we're all 1/2 pound away from a shiny sticker lol

It's WI day today... It's only a 10 minute walk away from where I live, but along the way I pass a chicken shop, a fish and chip shop and a really good kebab shop... what a tease!

clothes

Congrats! I'm hoping to get my half stone sticker tonight too :D It's amazing what you can do in just a month... think how much you'll have lost by the end of the year!

curry

The Ainsley Harriott garlic and herb croutons are on the lowest end of 6 syns

Per 28g you're looking on average between 6 - 8 syns

100g = 1syn on red & EE 100g = 7.5 syns on green :)

paella

ooh that sounds like a good idea... may have to try this

video

Tara, your avatar picture has got me drooling lol I love Jensen Ackles...

Thanks for that :) I'll stick to vodka and diet coke then

I'm going out with my girls on Tuesday night, and I was just wondering what would be the best (syn wise) to drink alcohol wise... I'll be sticking to diet coke anyway... but incase I get nagged to have something alcoholic I don't want to go over my syns... Idea's anyone?

riot

Thanks for that! I would just round it down to 1 syn per slice me thinks :p or just eat the whole thing! lol

I don't think I could bring myself to use bran flakes or anything other than digestive biccies! I just love cheesecake too much, and I think it would be worth every syn :)

I like the idea of getting "sponsors" lol

JACK

rain

330ml will be about 8.5 syns then :) ENJOY!

Is this what you were after? Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer 500ml bottle 13 Syns on Extra Easy Original 13 Syns Green 13 Syns

genre

THANKS! Will be making this on Monday :D

I've just started reading "The Shining" I loved the film but had never read the book... This is actually the FIRST Stephen King book i've ever picked up :)

only 12 more posts to go! lol

Earlier I had a TOTAL 0 yoghurt mixed with a chocolate options sachet at 2 syns... It was a nice thick creamy chocolatey moose type thing and completely satisfied my choco binge craving... even made me feel a little bit sickly... will only have half the amount next time for 1 syn instead :D

ooh that's a good idea! I also get weighed on a wednesday (not that the day of the week matters lol), but I always just wanna binge and mong out for the evening afterwards...

ooh that chocolate and mandarin cake looks yummy! Could I pinch the recipe please? or better yet.... come round mine and bring me a slice :D lol

The only ones that aren't Syn Free are the layered ones and the new limited edition lemon cheesecake one is 1 syn :)

oh and the spanish chicken mix is 3.5 syns for the 28g sachet :)

The WW soft cheese with onions and chives are 1.5 syns for 28g

exercise... usually works for me You'll feel instantly better and less hungry as you focus on what you ultimately want to achieve... then when you're done that bag of crisps or slice of cake doesn't seem worth it

It's a great incentive isn't it?! I just can't wait!

My Mum came up with an idea yesterday... I've just started Slimming World and she said to put £1 in a jar for every pound I loose. So when I reach my target weight i'll have enough in the jar to buy my new self a new outfit :D so far I have £6.50 in there Probably isn't an original idea but...

I just turned down a slice of pizza for lunch and stuck with my couscous salad :)

lol... hopefully when I go in for my weigh in on wednesday, i'll have lost enough to celebrate being overweight with you lol congrats on doing so well!

congrats! I enjoy running too, and would love to own a treadmill as I know I would be on it everyday :) It's great to read how excited you are lol HAVE FUN!

PIE AND MASH! I did manage to flexi syn last week and had a 1&1 but it's just not the same... oh and chocolate of all kinds (mainly caramel galaxy)

I would love it if I could eat out for once without worrying about how many hidden syns there are. I usually have to work out where i'll be eating and what to eat before I even get there... kinda spoils the fun in eating out to be honest But if there were syns already shown on the menu it would...

I don't know why i've never thought of buying tinned potatoes. It's a great idea as whenever i'm in the mood for a jacket or SW chips, I find that my potatoes have grown tentacles... Will be trying this tomorrow. Would probably go nice with some mediterranian style veg yum!

nice idea :D gonna give this one a try

I love making this, but am yet to try it cold. I'm gonna make some tonight and have it for lunch with a salad at work tomorrow :D

ooh.... not good. i was hoping the meat would be free as it was just grilled and it wasn't a donner shame about the pitta though, but luckily i haven't had any other syns today so i'm still within the allowance :) Thanks for the help

I've just wolfed down a small lamb shish kebab. I was hoping if someone could tell me how many syns it was with chilli sauce... I was also hoping that I could count the pitta as my healthy extra :confused:

YAY! I lost 4lbs this week... and I got slimmer of the week. This is only my second week, and just another half a pound and I'd have gotten my 1/2 stone award! I'm just a little bit shocked... and SO HAPPY!

OOH! I LIKE THIS IDEA! Thanks :D

Doesn't the tomato puree have syns in it?

I'm pretty new to SW too... and I didn't realise that eating too much fruit could be the reason for my hunger pains! My fave breakfast is a bowl of strawberries, covered in a strawberry muller light yoghurt topped with a crumbled up summer fruit light alpen bar... I tend to find that I am...

Thanks for that! :)

I was meant to make these today... but it seems that it was not meant to be. I had bought all the ingredients, ready to go, when I realised that I didn't have any cake cases! I got ready and decided to go do a bit of shopping anyways and I could pick them up along the way... but I had lost my...

Now I know there's gonna be quite a few syns in this... but i'm going out shopping with my mum on tuesday, and it's kind of our tradition to have pie, mash and liquor (not that this happens often lol) I just wondered how many syns would be in one pie, one mash and liqour... so I can flexi syn it :)

I usually have 1 or 2 as I also worry about having too many. They just taste sooo good that logic says they just have to be bad for you! but apparently not :D SO ENJOY! after reading this thread i'm really craving one lol WATCH OUT TOFFEE!

I heard you could use crushed up ryvita's instead of scan bran

It was my first week and I'm pleased to say that In lost 2.5lbs :D My consultant asked me how I did it, and I told the class about syn free KFC and minimins.com so I think we'll have some new faces to the forum soon :)

lol... I can't believe this thread was started over 3 years ago! it's very interesting to read though. I'm only in my first week on Slimming World, and so here are my starting statistics... I'm 5'10 and weigh 15st 8lbs... I am currently a size 16. At my smallest I weighed 12st 7lbs (4 years ago)...

I've always been creative... card making, cross stitch, scrap booking, origami... I tend to go on a mental craze for something then the novelty wears off after a few months... right now I'm really into painting "Munny's" I've just finished doing and Iron man one and a little sasuke one (a...

yeah... I think I'll be having that for dinner tomorrow :D Thanks LoopeyLou

27th April 2010 Breakfast: 2 slices hovis nimble toast with 2 ExL cheese triangles (HEB + 1/3 HEA) Lunch: left over spag bol from last night dinner with 2 ExL cheese triangles (1/3 HEA) Dinner: Chicken pieces with onion, mushrooms and red pepper in passata with hot chilli seasoning... with...

it's 43 calories...I'd make that 2 is I just... don't tell anyone lol Thanks :)

Could anyone tell me how many syns are in the "white chocolate and raspberry souffle" options sachet please? I can only find wicked white choc flavour on the SW website

That sound gorgeous! I'm drooling just reading the recipe lol

yummy... eating my first slice right now. I mixed a strawberry muller light yog into the quark filling and chopped up some strawberries... although I do think I put too much into the filling, as it didn't roll as well as it should have... Here's a picture...

Thanks! :D Can't wait to try it out... AND ONLY 1 SYN! wow... Thanks again :D

lol... same here, but I was thinking of getting those little sachet packs instead and just getting the amount I would need. It would end up being more expensive, but at least i'd be safe from temptation :D

I read somewhere that you can make "Mock Ferrero Rocher" an old slimming world recipe using ryvita and choc spread... does anyone know the specific recipe and how many syns they are? Thanks :)

hey... I'm new too, and I've been thinking the same. I seem to be eating alot in comparison to others too. I don't know how though, as I am only eating when I'm hungry and even tell myself to wait a little longer... Check out my food diary "N00B Like to Eat" see what you think

Looks delish :D

25th April 2010 Breakfast: 1 chopped apple, covered in vanilla muller light yog topped with 1 crumbled up alpen light apple and sultana bar (1/2 HEB) Lunch: 2 small jacket potatoes with 2 ExL laughing cow cheese (1/3 HEA) and beans Dinner: Three lots of Chicken and bacon sliced up and mixed...

*Runs off to corner shop to buy some cocoa powder*

Thanks for that :) I'm new to all this, so still have alot to learn xx

I get really annoyed at people that say "But you've got a pretty face" or "You've got a really nice personality"

I have been a big girl since the age of about 12/13... I said to my mum a few times that I wanted to loose weight and everytime she just said "You're fine just the way you are. You don't need to loose any weight" When I got to college I met a girl called Fred (some nutcase who's real name is...

:eek: oh no... I'm sure it was syns... I found the recipe on the "slimming world" recipes page :confused: Won't be making them anymore then lol Thanks for that

I have just made my salmon pasta thing... and... the salmon was nice :) The sauce curdled :( I put it on too high a heat too quickly. Now i'm having quorn sausages, mushrroms, onions and beans for dinner lol I will give your recipe a try next time Vixxster... sounds good :) Thanks for the...

ooh that sounds nice... I just don't have the ingredients lol Will give it a go next week though :D Thanks

I've decided to make pasta tonight with salmon and some kind of sauce... I'm thinking of frying (in frylight) some chopped mushrooms, onion and throwing in some garlic. Then I thought about chucking it in the blender with some quark and parsley... I've just thought this all up and can't quite...

yeah it was... I feel happily stuffed :D TOBLERONE COOKIE RECIPE! Servings: 16 Points per cookie: 2 175 g self raising flour ½ tsp baking powder 75 g light brown sugar, soft 50 g polyunsaturated margarine 3 tbsp Golden Syrup 1 medium egg, beaten 90 g Toblerone, roughly chopped...

I bought a box of Fab Ice Lollies yesterday (as I had the same problem as you with finding syns to eat), I figured summers coming up and I wanted an ice cream. I love the skinny cow ones, but they can be a bit much at times... Fab's are only 4 syns I also bought some optioon sachets for any...

I would have a couple of alpen lights to satisfy any sweet or chocolate cravings, saves the syns :)

Are you making it a plural? Might be a spelling mistake...

Here's what I found on Fromage Frais... http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/101774-very-low-fat-fromage-frais.html and for Morrisons "Eat Smart, Cottage Cheese with onions and chive" it's FREE! (Found on this website, along with other "Eat Smart" products) Morrisons Eat Smart Range -...

I only stick to Muller Lights, as they're my faves anyway... I was thinking the same thing today though when I picked up a tub of Morrisons Eat Smart less than 1% fat fromage frais... I couldn't find any EXTRA low fat... I'm pretty new to this too, so gonna have to look it up... If I find...

thanks :D

I was just wondering if you were allowed to mix your portion sizes on the Healthy Extras... such as having 125ml of semi skimmed milk (instead of 250ml) and 3 extra light laughing cow cheese triangles (instead of 6)... is this allowed??

oh no! I was buying them weekly at 12 for £2 (mostly the vanilla with choc sprinkles as a safety net for any chocolate cravings)

I am madly in love with the vanilla with choc sprinkles one... the orange with choc sprinkles is good too :) Haven't yet come across these limited edition lemon cheesecake ones though... I don't think I will try one of them, as I may become addicted to them too and I may forget to count the syns...

I LOVE HUMUS! Will deff be giving this one ago :D

I'd have used parsnips :) I love parsnips... but usually i'd top it off with swede and carrot mash... I think it's nicer than regular mash YUM!

LMAO XD I wondered the same thing... Welcome BTW :)

I might try that! I love cake and custard... I'd make the all bran choc cake to go with it :) yum

I think I just might try this one... I've been back and forth to this thread for the last week or so, and have finally built up the courage to actually try it lol wish me luck :D

I'm going for the BIG SHOP tomorrow... so I can get back on track... I have also decided to find the money and time to join a local group... If I'm going to do it, I need to do it seriously. Plus I want to know more about EE... Thanks for all the help and support :) I'll be getting a bag of...

Thanks :)

I have got some muller light yogurts and alpen lights for snacks for a couple of days. I just need to make up some meals... I mostly do red days, as I tend to feel quite bloated on green days. I don't go to any classes as I can't afford it and work irregular shift patterns that wouldn't work...

I've just bought 2 tubs of quark too... that was about a week ago now, and I can't remember the recipe I wanted to try lol... It seems that there are alot of recipes that need quark, but then you buy it and you go a bit brain dead lol

I love the chocolate and fudge ones... Never seen these apple ones. Will have to keep an eye out for 'em

I've only been doing this for 2 weeks, and this week I am very disappointed with myself... It was my Birthday on Thursday and my husband took me to London to do some shopping... I didn't care about the diet... I decided to just eat whatever I wanted for the day... we ate at my fave restaurant...

It's my Birthday tomorrow, and my husbands taking me to my favourite restaurant "Prezzo" tonight. I was just wandering if anyone knew of what the best dishes are and how many syns in each... or if you know where I could find out... I really don't want to overdo it tonight as i've only just...

I've just had the last of my left over "Syn Free KFC" in a big bowl of salad... that was about an hour ago, and my stomach is rumbling now like I haven't eaten all day :confused: No matter how much veg I eat it's never enough

This is my second week, and I've lost 3lb! :greenapple: I've lost 6lb so far...

I'm a bit of a chocoholic, but I feel that it comes from not having had much as a kid. My mum never had a "Crap cupboard" full of chocolate, biscuits and crisps... because we never had the money to, but we did have a poor diet in that everything came with some form of potato and a slice of bread...

yeah I did chicken breasts cut into strips... came out beautifully. I followed the recipe almost exactly, with the use of a pinch of hot chilli powder instead of half a teaspoon of mild chilli powder...

I had made so much that I couldn't eat it all... I've put the rest in the fridge to reheat for my hubby to try later... I'm sure he's gonna love it too!

omg... so good! :worthy: I can't believe how well they've come out! deffinitely give this one a try :eat:

SYN FREE KFC... Review I have just made up some Syn Free KFC and cannot wait to eat it! So far so good... just another 5 minutes or so in the oven :D

I laughing as i'm reading this, as I'm 21 and find it difficult to read a text from my aunt... SHE'S 46! Everyone has said about it being the younger generation that "short hand" everything, but in my case it's reversed. I do use "lol" though I must admit... and my brother has got me typing in...

Blimey :eek:

I am currently mad about the Muller Light vanilla with dark chocolate sprinkles :)

My OH would have bunged a bag of chips in the oven and said "Ah well, what 1 day off the diet?" ... I don't even like chips! lol

I ended up taking in a homemade chicken chow mein, and ordered some chicken in oyster sauce, as I'd read somewhere that it was only 4 1/2 syns :) was very yummy

Can't wait to try this one! you can't go wrong for only 1/2 a syn!

Thanks :rolleyes: Although i am now thinking about taking in my home made chicken chow mein and just warming it up in the microwave... I'm so worried that i'll end up over doing it :p

Thanks for the idea's everyone :D

Every weekend at work, we ekend to get a takeaway. I'm usually pretty good and stick to taking in my own food and steer clear as others munch around me... but tomorrow i'll be working with my two best mates... the three of us girls back together again for the first time in 3 months. They said...

Thanks :) I think i'll give making a stew a go... I love stews... why didn't I think of that? lol

Hey everyone... I'm pretty new to this. I did SW over a year ago now and managed to do really well on it, but then life got in the way and obviously the diet went out the window... I want to get back to it as it has been the only way I have ever managed to loose weight without feeling crappy and...
