I find M&C really helpful whenever we eat there, they are always more than happy to cook without oil/sauces they always cook the Chicken wings for me plain (no BBQ sauce) so I take the skins off. Couldnt recommend them enough. Id just love to know what their Onion laof would Syn as, its my fav! x

Hi there, on SW website it only gives Haloumi as a HEB on a GREEN day only, I also just posted about Syn values in Haloumi because I do EE and I dont think I can have it as a HEA. x

Hi All, could someone tell me roughly what the syns are in Haloumi please? Ive searched the forum and found that on a green day you can have it as a HEB but I do EE so would like to know what syns im looking at. Thanks xx

Hi all, just wanted to say hello and that im back, been off the radar for a good few weeks and need to get back into SW again. Completely lost the plot with it, I know what I need to do, but its actually doing it. I was doing so well after christmas and lost my 7lbs that I put on, then I had an...

Hi all thanks so much for taking the time to reply, it means alot, and i know im not on my own! Everything you say is very good advice, but the thing is i do write down my food in my food diary every day, and have done for 2 years almost, even when im eating crap i write it down! lol. I exercise...

Hi all, Ive not been around for a while, started a new job a few months ago, so barely been able to come on here (no computer at home) Have been doing SW for nearly 2 years now, and im so stuck I should of got to target by now, and its just not happening, I have 12lbs to go and ive lost the plot...

Hi all, well 1lb off for me this week, not a great loss considering my gains recently, but still a loss and feeling more positive hoping for a bigger loss next week! Hope your all ok and good luck xx

Hi all, hope you dont mind me joining your wednesday weigh in group. I used to weigh in on a tuesday lunchtime but have changed jobs and now cant get to that group so have a found a wednesday night one. Not a good result for me 2.5lbs on this week, ive been off plan for around 2 weeks now, 1lb...

1.5lbs off for me, not quite the 3.5lbs i put on last week but its a start! :) good luck all xxx

Hi all, not a happy bunny but it was my own fault as couldnt get into it last week so had a week off, and now put on 3.5lbs! but i promised everyone I wouldnt moan, so im not going to, been back on plan since sunday and enjoying it, so lets hope I get the 3.5lbs off next week! good luck all xxx

2lbs off for me this week! good luck all x

cocktailprincess that was free?? I love that Egg Mayo Oh my days! lol. Thanks anyway ladies, I know its not hugely syned, but its a pain having to measure out the amount when before I didnt have to bother! xx

Hi All, just thought id vent my shock! Nothing major, but it is to me! thought id have a nice salad for lunch today, and I usually have the Light Choices French Dressing drizzled over it, last year it was 'syn free' this year is 1/2 syn per tablespoon. I dont get it though as the calories havent...

Hi Tuesday weighers! I lost 2lbs this week YAY! sooo happy, thats 6.5lbs of the christmas weight gone, just 3lbs to go then back on track properly. Good luck all xx

have you seen the amount of syns in a slim fast, its pointless hun. I did slimfast year ago, lost 5 stone in 6 months, then put 6 stone back on again, its not a natural way of life at all. Stick with SW and keep going you will see the results in the end. If you want to have a couple of light...

Pootler, im the same, my big indulgence used to be eating in bed at night! oops! naughty me! but since my OH moved in (2 months now) I dont at all, but also I tend to save my HEB throughout the day (I eat muller lights for brekkie and I dont tend have bread through the day) so I can have my...

my meals I eat are fairly big, my OH cant get over it at times, but ive always been a big eater, but with SW its great, big portions (or until im full) and i loose xx

Personally I think Gillian McKeith is a complete waste of time (and not because of her appearence in the jungle) Ive never liked what the woman goes on about and I just dont think she is a great advert for a healthy life style. The SW plan can be, if you want it to be, as natural as possible as...

Jacket potatoe with beans, not butter, and check they are not cooked in oil. I had that today and it was delicious! x (sorry probably too late!) x

Keeping everything crossed for you CP, and thinking of you all xxx

i have around 5 syns a day, so if i do fancy something (even something like a bag of crisps) i know ive not gone overboard and I can fall back on them. my C always says we shouldnt save them up but I always do and have not noticed it in a bad way when it comes to weigh in etc xx

here she is! welcome back loulou xxxx

1/2lb off for me this week! could of done better BUT its still a loss, and thats 4.5lbs in 2 weeks so i am a happy bunny xx

Hi all, im confused as to where I put my weigh in, there is another Tuesday weigh in thread thats 117 pages long, so ive put this week weight loss on there, and so thought id put it on here in case this is the new thread for this year! Lol Lost 4lbs this week so im back in the game and very...

Woo hoo back in the game! Lost 4lbs this week! very very happy! good luck all today xxxx

Hey CB, dont beat yourself up over it, I was the same this weekend, was on plan all day saturday and then had my fellas work christmas party ended up drinking all sorts of things (didnt pig out at all though) and then yesterday as I was so hung over I had a bowl of frosties, then a bacon and...

I go up every month around 4-5lbs, but I know it will be off the next week, so ive just got to swallow it that i will definitely gain 1 week of the month but thats just due to * week xx

Hi all, im jumping on the Monday weigh in today as I usually get weighed on a Tuesday but cant tomorrow. Im afraid im going to spoil the good losses today :( put on 4lbs not a happy bunny at all, as I put on 5.5lbs last week (christmas gain) and ive been on planning since last week, so i cant...

Hi Tinsel, good luck with you loosing, I have 16lbs to loose, but I struggle! I got to 2lbs off my target last year and just couldnt do it, then I went up and put some on over crimbo so have the 16lbs to go, just hope I can go it! :) xx

5.5lb on for me, now I no where I am and im back on the plan! Throughly enjoyed crimbo and all those roses/cocktails sausages/sausage rolls etc etc. snuggle69 so sorry to hear youve been so poorly, wishing you a speedy recovery xxx

Hi all, Happy New Year to you all. Lets hope its a huge success for us all. Well I weighed in today, first time in 2 weeks, was expecting a huge gain, and I got it :) I put on 5.5lbs this week, not shocked by it, but now back on the plan and looking forward to weigh in next week! Good luck all xxx

Hey all, I have been off plan since Crimbo Eve and ive throughly enjoyed it! No weigh in this week as its closed, and all the other clubs in my town are either closed or I cant get too because of work :( (I go to a lunch time club) so i was actually desperate to go to find out how much ive put...

Hey all, not weighed in this week as its closed, but last week lost 1.5lbs! was very happy with that and shocked! dreading weigh in next week! xx

Well all terrible gain for me 3.5lbs! not what I was hoping for before Crimbo, and next week isnt going to be that good either as im out every day (lunch and evening) until crimbo day! will try but think i need to start a fresh in Jan! so have a lovely crimbo all and good luck with your weigh ins x

Well done all. I lost 1.5lbs on Tuesday! yay! xx

Hi All! Good luck this week! I STS, not unhappy with that as not a 100% week, hopefully a good one next week! Good luck xxx

Just to let you know the Cheesecake I was telling you about... well I worked the syns out... 117 syns for the whole cake! OMG! Wont be making that again in a hurry! x

Thanks Beegee x

STS this week guys, not unhappy with that though :) good luck one and all xx

I save my HEB most days and having the choc orange hifi bar in the evenings, that usually satisfies me :) xx

Thanks for this CP! I started SW 1st December last year (rrr nearly my anniversary! lol) and I found I was OK over christmas even thought I had a couple of splurges. But you are so right in what you say, 1 week off leads to trouble getting into it. A few weeks ago I had a week off (didnt plan on...

This is AMAZING and i mean amazing, ive not worked out the syns at all, but if your not fussed and want one for the festive period try this, I made it last night :) yummy! Reevo's Simple Cheesecake recipe - All recipes UK

I think it was a lovely gesture, and its such lovely happy news for once, on the news. Who can honestly say they didnt feel any glimmer of happiness or raise a smile for them when they watched the footage, I think its brilliant, or 'wicked' as Camilla said! :) xx

WOO HOOO im sooooo happy I lost 3.5lbs! back on track people and im feeling gooooood :) :) :) good luck all xxxx

Rrr wackyjac I love hotdogs too, wish they were free, I love the huge jumbo ones you get in the big jars in Asda/Tescos but i havent worked out the syns on those yet!? xx

Hi Maximus, I know what you mean re sugar/sweetner, I gave up sugar in my tea (3 heaped spoons in every cup kinda gal I was) I can tolerate tea without it, but when im hungover or ill I always have sugar in my tea. I use Canderel on my porridge, it actually tastes lovely, and im quite happy...

Traceya89 I feel your pain lol, we have a 'communial' biscut tin in the office, and it is always full up with M&S lovely biscuits, they all know I do SW in the office, yet they always put the tin under my nose (they all take the pee out of me for my 'syns', gets me down but hey I just try and...

Hi All, wasnt here last tuesday so I weighed in last wednesday and put it on the wednesday weigh in thread, anyway last week I put on a huge 4.5lbs and this week i lost 1lb not great but its still a loss, not really been on the plan these past couple of weeks, just finding it so hard at the...

Hi all, well another bad week for me (although I know i lost last week and I was peed off because it was 0.5lbs) but this week I gained a huge 4.5lbs I think its nearly * week, but thats all up in the air at the moment as ive changed pills, so my body doesnt know where it is at the moment, and...

Hi All, im hijacking your wednesday weigh in, as I usually weigh in on a tuesday but ive been away, and the scales certainly show it! 4.5lb gain for me this week :( naughty me! back on it today though xx

Thanks Neonshock, good thinking, I will admit I like a lot of food, so my portions of evening meals are always quite big, but then Ive always done it that way on SW and lost, so I dont know if perhaps im building more muscle from my exercise, so hence weighing more, will give it another good go...

Thanks ladies, i hear where your coming from, I can honestly honestly say im couting all syns properly, weighing where needs weighing, I drink 3 litres of water a day anyway, have done for around 10 years, I have at least 6 different speed foods a day (mushrooms, chicken, spring onions...

Hi Everyone, hope your all well. Im having a little rant, ive been doing so well this past week, and doing all my walking as I do everyday and ive stepped it up more and am now swimming once a week as well, ive been allowing myself around 5 syns a day, I was out drinking saturday night (I drink...

Hi all, where is everybody today?! :) Well I lost 1/2 lb but im annoyed as been doing so well, and its just coming off slow. I know its a loss but im peed off! :) good luck to everyone today xx

2lbs off for me this week! woo hoo! back on track! :) xxx

Hey lovely tall ladies (and gentleman!) Its so great to hear so many of you are tall too! :) Im 6ft, size 14, size 8 feet. I was a clothes size 22 and nearly at target. I have long legs 38inch inside, so I go to Topshop/DP's/Long Tall Sally, and also Primark do a longer length in there plain...

Put on 2lb this week :( was expecting it though as its * week and I usually gain 4-5lbs so least it isnt that bad! x

I try to watch the programmes, but Im so busy every day and weekend (I work 2 jobs including weekends) so when I get free time im exercising or sleeping, but im trying to fit more in. Im going to give the soup a go tonight now, im not waiting till sunday! lol x

Thank you *honey, perfect! x

thanks *honey for the ideas, Im not stuck on those its just how to actually make the soup I get stuck on, I know I know sounds silly but ive never made it! Lol xx

Hodgko thank you very much, thats what I was looking for, 'how' to make soup, I thought I had to cook the veg seperately etc, but if I can boil them all up and then blend, easy peasy! I do like baked beans and onions too, so I could throw them in. I think I will have a trial and error day sunday...

Well I lost 1/2lb so im happy as its still a loss, and ive had a fairly bad week! good luck all xxx

HI All, sounds really really really silly I know, but I do not know how to make soup! I really need to give myself a boost, so I want to include speed and superspeed foods, but and its a big but, im fairly fussy, the veg I like are... Leeks Mushrooms Broccoli Marrowfat peas (can stand garden if...

I dont call it self sabotage RealMissP, I just call it treat day, ive said this many a times before, but if I loose at weigh in, I treat myself that day, whether it be I have Belly pork in the evening with the fat on, or chocolate or whatever, Ive always stuck to the plan 6.5 days a week, and I...

Hi All, good luck for today, 2lbs off for me, which im very pleased with! :) xxx

Wooaa it just puts it into perspective doesnt it how well we all are doing, ive lost 38 of these! mad! :) xx

Caffeine hun, I drink at least 4 cans a day (plus 3 litres of water) it never used to effect me but now Ive hit 30 (lol) i seem to be forever on the loo! :) xx

Hey snowshoes, I work in London (live in Essex) but there are loads of places to get your shopping!? where abouts are you? all around london they have tescos express or Sainsburys express, I know they are not huge supermarkets but they sell fruit, veg, pasta n sauce packets (the majority of them...

Hey Hannahkw1, ive just finished 2 packets of the very pasta and sauce you are talking about, have them everyday pretty much and I loose most weeks, there easy to do in an office and filling, everyone is different in how they loose gain though. I have a huge appetite so 1 or 2 packs for lunch is...

Hey all, well ive been away for 3 weeks, just got back from turkey and it was sooo lovely. Had weigh in yesterday and I have put on 7lbs, but not unhappy about that, ate well everyday and pretty much stuck to the plan as best I could but its the alcohol! every night.

hi all, hope you all had a good weekend. well I was looking forward to weigh in today as i worked my butt off for the last 7 days to achieve a 2/3lbs loss, but I stayed the same, was extremley upset as this is last weigh in before my hols, and ok im not far off target 6lbs, and yes ive lost 4.5...

Hi All, just thought Id let you know the Syn value of Galaxy counters... Im a little bit addicted to these and so glad they brought them back, but OMG they are....wait for it..... 38 syns for one of those big bags (you know the ones you get at the flicks) I ate a whole bag the other week, and...

Agree with Ellebear (hey hun) when im due on, and then on my actual * week I can gain between 4-7lbs! then I loose it the next week. Or if youve had a bad week it can catch up with you. i had a very bad week end of july, it was my 30th so i celebrated ALOT and then went to weigh in and I had put...

Good luck today everyone! I lost 2lbs, happy with that! :) xx

STS for me, not to unhappy with that as I had a heavy weekend and its * week! need to loose 8lbs in the next 2 weeks before my hols! :) xxx

Hey ladies and gents, well I lost 3.5lbs so im fairly happy, but I did put on 7.5lbs last week. so was hoping for more to come off, I have 3 weeks to loose 8lbs... can I do it?? I hope so! Good luck to everyone and well done to those so far xxxx

Good luck hun, im keeping everything crossed for you :) Im being good, its my friends birthday tonight and we are going for a chinese but im going to have a diet coke! Im resisting because imout for my birthday thursday with the family, so would rather save it all for then! xxx

Thanks all :) Im soooo excited, I had my party last weekend and ive managed to not open any of the presents or cards yet, mums keeping them at her house so im not tempted the only thing I did open was a gorgeous Tiffany & Co bracelet from my friends (woodsylou) because she is now off on her...

Rr thanks Faustina :) Im just sooo excited, got lots of lovely things planned this weekend, and have Friday off work for a nice long weekend, wondering if the fella has anything planned?!?! :) xx

My 30th birthday (this Thursday)! :D:D:D Im sooooooo excited! Lol can you tell :):):):) Sorry just had to share it with you all! xxxxx

Sorru just realised someone else mentioned the fascinator :) xx

Oooh its gorgeous, my mum pointed this out to me the other day and said I should get it! go for it :) A lovely black fascinator in your hair, matching clutch bag and black peep toe heels would look gorgeous Xxx

My fella knows my weight, he is the only person (other than My mum and some friends) who know my weight, I just opened up to him. Was the best thing I did, I tell him everything anyway, and i mean everything so why not my weight, it wont change how he feels about me. Also from the age of 18 he...

Oh hun I know your pain! Friday I had the eats, its time of the month and I had struggled against my cravings up until friday, then I gave in, I had.... wait for it... 8 extremley chocolately marks and spencer biscuits (6 syns each) then I ate a big bad of Giant cadburys buttons, THEN a bag o...

Hey hun, I always have 2 boiled eggs with me at work so I can munch on them through the day, i love eggs! My SW consultant once told me I should have no more than 8 eggs per week, puh, i have 4 in an omelette! Its not affected my weight loss eating more than that a week. Everyone is different...

fillymum you look AMAZING and GORGEOUS! well done you, keep up the good work :) xxxxx

MCV if you read my earlier post on this thread you'll see my horrible experience, I lost huge amounts of weight on slimming pills and then as soon as I stopped I put a huge amount back on, so that answers your question :) x

Hey lovely ladies, 4lb gain for me :( was actually expecting between 5-7lbs so 4lb was a nice surprise lol. Its * week for me, and plus birthday celebrations at the weekend havent helped. Looking forward to loosing that this week! xx

Ive voted hun, but its so hard because they are all gorgeous! what a gorgeous little boy you have xx

Hi All, hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was fab, had my 30th birthday party saturday night (Mods & Modettes) was brilliant, had such a great time and so did everyone else. Ate far to much, drank far to much, and carried on yesterday eating too much. No I know weigh is going to be tough...

Mine means Gracious and its hebrew?! My names Anna, and I thought it was irish!?! ha ha x

hi ya, to speed up I eat a lot of Pineapple, rasberries, strawberries for fruit and then for Veg I eat a lot of mushrooms a day, I incorporate them into most meals. But ive lately my lips have been swelling and stinging whenever I eat pineapple so i think i may be allergic :( Im gutted because i...

If I weigh myself at my mums (she has the scales, I refuse to have them in my house as I was once addicted to weighing myself 3 times a day!) the scales at my mums will say im 3-4lb heavier than SW ones. I just stick to SW once a week, middle of a tuesday, done job :) xx

no worries swchick10, it is my own personal story and I know everyone is different but when I think back to that time it was horrible. I like my food too much now Lol! :) xx

Been there done that and its a load of rubbish, waste of money and plays serious games with your help. Slimming Pills, especially 'under the counter' ones are so dangerous. I used to take them a few years back, lost 5 stone in around 5 months, great I here you all say, but it wasnt, I didnt...

1lb on for me this week, not happy :( Lost half stone in these past 2 weeks, and I did exactly the same this past week as i have done these past 2 weeks so i dont know what happened :( xx

Id love to stay, but dont have time, i weigh at lunchtime, but with my job, some days i get a break other times I just have to sneak down there. You commented Happyholidays about why pay £4.95 just to get weighed, me personally I do that, and I think its worth it, I used to weigh myself at boots...

A calculator is a fab idea. Just like WW one. I had one and it was on me all the time, so where-ever I went I could calculate the points of each item, was a god send! x

Oooh thanks Claire, I will get those out, the OH likes all these types of movies (im more of a Sex and the City type of girl) but he has got me into Vampirey movies lately, so we will give them a go :) xxx

Rrr thank you Claire, how lovely xx It was a very dark time but ive always been quite open and able to talk about things like that, I lost my brother when i was 13 and he was 14, so from a young age I sort of matured quickly when it comes to things like this. My family and friends where...

Whats Zumba? x

Never even seen the first film or films (is there 2?) the Fella and me where only just saying the other night, we need to jump on board and see what all the fuss is about, so lovely ladies, could you give me the names of the first film(s) so we know what to get out at blockbuster please? thank...

The turning point for me was 3.5 years ago, my then boyfriend was murdered, before he passed away he was in intensive care for 1 week, in that week I didnt leave his side, didnt eat, didnt want to see or speak to anyone apart from him, and in that week due to the stress I lost nearly a stone, it...

* week for me is the week before, but then some months it last 2 weeks (I.E. the build up, then my period) My body some ones can gain 1lb at * week or 5lb, nightmare, but least I know it comes off the next :) xxx

Hey All, well im very very very very happy! After my 6lb gain last week because of hols and * week, I am happy to report I have lost 4lbs this week! :) soooo happy. Well done to everyone so far xxxx

Agree with the majority of these, especially the bum comment snuggle, my butt hurts so much sometimes Lol. Ive suffered with IBS for years, to the point where I had to plan my journeys in case of emergencies etc. Now its great, I do still have the odd bout of it badly, but thats just how I will...

Hey all, been a bit quiet on here these past few days, been hectic. so I weighed in and ive stayed the same, not to unhappy with that, as ive not been beleiving my weigh ins lately so im happy that im a my 'real' weight. IBS has been playing me up something rotten lately so I wasnt feeling too...

i always have 'treat night' on weigh in day, only if ive stayed the same or lost, never if i put on. But then for the 3 years ive been dieting ive always dieted 6 days out of 7, so moving to SW i changed to 7 days a week but one night off if ive done well. xx

Loulou i use.. 3 eggs Low fat cottage Cheese (300g tub) Ham Mushrooms Spring onions (fry off the mushrooms and onions) mix it all up, and spray a oven dish with fry light, then pour into said dish (or hot pink silicone baking thingy i purchased recently so you dont need fry light ha ha) and...

Im pretty much the same as everyone else Extra lean mince Dried mix herbs onions salt pepper egg to bind shape them then cover and put in the fridge over night if possible, when you come to cook them the next day the smell is gorgeous where they have been marinating all night, yum...

good luck today Ladies and Gents, i have lost 2.5lbs this week, soooooooooooooooooooooo happy yay! :) xxxx

I only watched part of this show as the blonde bird was doing my head in! The husband seemed OK, but I didnt watch the whole show, I usually like this and feel that both parties are geniune but this one I switched off and watched 'Cake Boss' on discovery, now that was a fantastic show! x

I know what you mean hun, but I just think what you weigh in at is what you weigh, so each week I make sure I have my breakfast, and then I get weighed at lunchtime, so every week I know that ive been weighed after eating something, and thats the true weight that day, if that makes sense?! lol :)

I wanna come to thursday weighers now lol :) x

I live by the stuff especially when doing stir fry :)

Hey All, well I put on 0.5lbs but I am actually soooo happy because its * week for me and I usually go up a good 4-5lbs so im very happy :) hoping for a good loss next week :) xx Well done everyone on your weigh ins xx

Hey gorgeous, I feel your pain, am exactly the same and have PMT, im keeping positive though because I know if ive put on tomorrow I know the reason why and I can loose by the following week. Im not feeling too grumpy today but it comes in waves, poor Jim got it in the neck last week for...

Hi all, firstly, HAPPY DAM FRIDAY, so happy its nearly the weekend! :) Anyway, does anyone know what the Syn value per Tbsp is of Burger Sauce please? Its not coming up on SW.com and as I dont have the bottle I cant calculate it. Thanks, Anna x

Oooh good idea ladies, Im going to go get some snack a jack popcorn to try that. I usually just get a huge diet coke, and the fella sits there stuffing his face ha ha xx

Whenever I make homemade burgers, I always make them the night before, cover them and put them in the fridge, im doing that tonight for tomorrows burgers, they come out lovely and the dried herbs and onions smell gorgeous! xx

Hi mylastchance, i just calculated it for you on SW website and its coming up free, as long as its the Healthy Eating British pork mince (95% fat free) xx

Well hun I would think they are free as dried noodles are free from anywhere else arent they, and its only the flavoring thats the syn x

At the weekend i put 2 Strawberry Mullerlight yoghurts in a container, added lots of rasberries and then froze, kept my eye on it after a couple of hours and it was lovely, not to hard, just like frozen yoghurt, and syn free! perfect x
