I only ever get the vanilla and chocolate sprinkles.....hoping they are 1/2 syn !!

Please can anyone tell me what the syns in these yogurts are? I have found conflicting answers!!

Thank you so much. I thought they must have oligofructose in them! Doesn't look as if there is anything too sinister in there so might get some.

Never mind...at least we know now.

I've never had one and I want to try them but I really want to read the ingredients first :(

Can someone please post the ingredients of any flavour Hifi bar on here?

and strawberries Mmmmm

We really need SW to work this one out ...but I would count it as 4/100ml to be on the safe side.

Well I might be wrong too! .... but I think that if there is sugar rather than sweetener in yogurt, even fat free, then it will have syns. Total 0% does not contain sugar so that is why it is free. This is also why Onken fat free is no longer syn free, because they have swapped sweetener for sugar.

Surely it would be 4 syns (78 cals) per 100g/ml? No free food as it has sugar in it. Or am I wrong?

Let me know what you think of it. I thought it was horrible. Much much nicer to make your own :)

I agree - this forum is not very user friendly at all but you get good advice on it and all the time I am on here I am not eating!

I suspect your "consultant" has missed the point somewhere. They do seem to have their own funny ideas about some of the rules!

Anyone???

I have done 2 x 2 weeks self catering. I take some low fat cheddar and alpen bars and everything else has been quite easy. You will be fine. Tipiak Couscous is yummy!

Can anyone tell me the ingredients in a HiFi Bar (any flavour) I can't find the information on the SW website and I don't have any in the house. Thanks.

Hello! What diet are you following?

Yogurt choice is much better than here, also soft cheese is all labelled 0% fat/2% fat or whatever. You can get reduced fat cheeses but not that easily. I haven't found it too difficult self-catering on holidays if you can get to a reasonable sized supermarket. (I did take a few things with me)...

I am joining a new group tomorrow after a year out and two stones heavier :( Tried going it alone (after all I know what to do and I lost nearly five stone while I was at SW) Also tried SW online but it's too easy to cheat and you get no support. I don't really get why, but staying to group...

That sounds really tasty - think I will try it. I am re joining SW tomorrow so we will be new together this week :)

Thanks. They are nice but I prefer the Mullerlight coconut with chocolate sprinkles and they are syn free and back on the supermaket shelves. Yay!

The mullerlight coconut with chocolate sprinkles are back too !

You could just take off 6 for the HEx B (Bread) and estimate calories in prawns to calculate syns in them or if you think the only synned item is mayo, then just syn that.

That's good news...1/2 syn is OK :) How did you find out?

It is yummy and I have been trying to find out if it is syn free too. One pot is fewer calories and less fat than a regular Mullerlight yogurt so here's hoping. I bought 4 coconut/vanilla and 4 honeyed peach - they were on a deal in sainsburys.

Does anyone know what the syn situation is for Mullerlight Fat Free Greek style yogurt. They are new and come in a pack of 4x120g in coconut/vanilla and Honey flavours. I really hope they are free.....

Excellent! Sainsburys had coconut today.

I was afraid that the mint ones would replace the coconut ones as they are both limited edition flavours. I prefer the coconut (yes they are as good as they sound) but mint makes a nice change. I think mint will be yummy on a hot Summer's day...........If we ever get any!

Very glad to see the Coconut ones back on the supermarket shelves today though.

Calories in Costa skinny hot chocolate and Nutrition Facts

I just looked up the calories on website.

Just had a skinny hot chocolate in Costa and came on here to find out the damage. Very very pleased to discover it has 98 calories, so 5 syns....not bad at all! Can it be minus 1 if I use it as my HEx A???/!!!!

I take a tube of smarties and try to suck them!

Worried now in case I am wrong about frozen yogurt being syn free :/ Can someone check please?

If you can get it then Pilgrim's Choice Light is good, otherwise Cathedral City Light is good too.

You can if your PCT has signed up to the scheme and if you fit the criteria. BMI over 30, you have to attend every week ( except hols/illness) you have to sign an agreement. Best to ring your GP and ask.

What time is the class and what time will you have at home before it?

I have complete faith in SW (I have only ever done EE) if you follow the rules, it works x

If you have stuck properly to SW rules then it will work.... You just have to be patient. From everything I have heard from SW leader/ PT at the gym/nutritionist...weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. I bet next week will be better. I put on a pound on my first week back on SW but lost 1...

I read that the yogurt was syn free on here somewhere.... Can anyone look it up on the syn calculator please? Vanilla Frozen Yogurt nutritional info is: Weight (g): 100.00 Energy...

Laurab21 - did you eat all the right things this week?

I believe the Nandos Frozen Yogurt is Syn free. Yay for Nandos!

I left my group and joined online. It seemed a lot of money just for access to the website and I cheated on WI day! Maybe I expected too much, but a daily or even a weekly email might have helped but all you get is a weekly email telling you to enter your weight - I felt a bit abandoned :( I am...

PS Average was 2lbs a week for about 4 months and then slowed down to 1lb a week.

Sounds familiar. I did SW in 2010 and lost 60lbs!!! I averaged 2lbs a week. Then stopped going and life got in the way and I put on nearly 3 stone :( Trying to get back on track by myself now. Lost 3lbs so far..... Leaserule - are you doing Extra Easy?

Thanks for the ideas.

I bought some Total 0% yesterday and it is disgusting to eat as yogurt (even with vanilla /fruit/chocolate added) so I need a recipe for something to use it in. Any ideas??

.....and if your BMI is over 30 you can get vouchers for SW from your GP and then it is free as well!

I read somewhere on another thread that Onken Fat free is no longer syn free...can anyone confirm this?

SW every time x

Sparklesassy - That is the conclusion I have come to as well. Any ideas re drinks?

Thanks. I would like to find a flavoured yogurt but I don't think they exist! Asda ones have sweetener in :(

I'm thinking natural fat free yogurt and the add my own stuff.

Curveygirl - I aam on a diet/fitness course and they are very keen on not having "diet" products containing artificial sweeteners and I know it makes sense but..... I went shopping today and got some ordinary yogurts but they are 2.5 syns each and I don't know what to drink except water and I am...

Hi I am trying to find a fat free yogurt that does not have artificial sweetener in it. Can anybody out there help me..pleeeease?????

I think I have made a mistake too. Back to SW for me...I know it works and I know what I'm doing.

It's so frustrating when they advertise new stuff and then you can't get it. Grrrr

Lol !!! You replied!

I use soy sauce and just one tablespoon of Sharwoods sauce for a bit more flavour.

Debsie Websie - Have you lost 17 stone?! or 17 Argos catalogues!

Sainsbury's bck to 4 for £2 and no mint ones left :( No coconut either. I really hope they keep the coconut ones.

Hope this doesn't mean that the Coconut ones will disappear.

They are yummy. I think I still prefer vanilla or coconut but make a nice alternative. The cat approves too, She likes to lick the pot out. She likes all flavours except toffee !

Just had one! Sainsburys had them (but no Coconut ones). It was good, reminded me of mint Aero which can't be bad. Would be very nice on a hot Summer's day but good on a cold snowy day too!

Got two this morning....about to try it........

I usually have tiny bit of milk in 2 teas a day and 2-3 yogurts a day and then a bit of cheese 1-2 times a week.

I think this is right , please comment if I have misunderstood. 250ml milk contains about 300mg calcium. One Mullerlight contains about 175mg calcium (other FF yogurts are similar) You need about 1000-1200mg calcium a day.

If the HExA is just about getting calcium you can get enough from a few fat free yogurts every day.

Pizza sounds yummy. Horrible fatty /gristly meat would be on my hell list too but aubergines ......? they are nice!

Just had one for my tea - really tasty :)

one Cadbury's mini egg. Yum yum !

I was reading some threads and it got me wondering what are people's food heavens and food hells? Heaven for me is chocolate and I think I have many hells but I will go for oysters!

Coconut & Chocolate Sprinkles Yoghurt. Yummy and syn free !

Just wondering whether anyone out there in Diet Land is also coping with a paraeasophageal Hiatal Hernia? I haven't been able to find anyone yet and I would love to be able to share experiences and tips for coping.

I read somewhere that they should be in shops mid February.

Hi..another Twinkletoes! and I lived in Nottingham for a little while many years ago! SU&L is one hour a week for WI and talk about diet/nutrition etc and 1 hour a week exercise class. They also give you a gym circuit which they advise you to do 3 times a week.

The Lidl frozen veg mixes have things like olives in and spices so they are not completely free. BUT they are low syn and very yummy and make a meal with rice/couscous/pasta. I will continue to have them but not too often.

Surely if it used to be allowed as a HEx and you lost weight, it doesn't really matter?

I went to Sainsbury's this morning but there was no sign of mint/choc yogurt but still 10 for £3 so not all bad. I wonder whether if you order them online you actually get mint or coconut.

Sainsbury's have them and they are on 10 for £3. Might try one tomorrow Mmmmm. They are limited Edition so I guess they will replace Coconut.

Is it right that the allowance has changed to 45g low fat cheese??? Are there any other changes?

I am used to SW and I can't get my head round the diet at the moment. First exercise class tomorrow :/

Yeah I think SW is the way to go...for now anyway. The really scary bit is that fruit counts as carb so does fat free yogurt. So my healthy "free" breakfast doesn't fit in and they say have some almonds for protein with it but then I use up syns on something I don't particularly want. The idea...

It basically means you have 3 meals and 2 snacks every day all of which should be balanced 40% carbs 30%protein 30% fat. It seems so complicated compared to SW.

Just started a course which advocates the Zone Diet (40:30:30) I have been happy doing Slimming World but I can't get to a group at the moment and online just doesn't work for me. Has anyone tried Zone diet - I am sceptical and might just stick to what I know!

I have only ever done EE and I don't understand red or green! EE works for me :)

Had this for supper tonight - it was very tasty - I did whole chicken breasts though and separate vegetables to keep children happy :)

3 stone to lose - looking for a buddy I have 3 stone to lose and would really like diet buddy to help keep me motivated. Any takers? My ticker is completely out of date by the way ( and I haven't worked out how to update it yet)

Has anyone tried David Lloyd's "Lose and Shape Up" How did you get on?

Just wondering if anyone on here has tried David Lloyd's Lose & Shape Up and if so how did you get on. I am thinking about signing up for it.

Can anyone help me with Syn value of Napolina Five Bean salad please?

I have forgotten my code for ticker factory so I need to set up a new counter. I can't work out how to get rid of the old one and replace it with a new one! Any help gratefully received.

Guess so Gunsandbanjos. I like Raspberyy best Mmmmm

I find the comments hard to deal with too - I sometimes avoid people! But when I do get comments I just say thank you and yes I have lost weight and yes it was diet and exercise - no quick fixes!!! Some people are genuinely pleased for me and some are just jealous!!! Keep it up everyone we...

Why is Activia Fat Free Peach 1/2 syn???? Does anyone know - or is it a mistake???

Does anyone have any idea why Activia Fat Free Peach yogurt sometimes has syns and sometimes is free?? I am avoiding peach flavour at the moment...

When I joined I was really only told about EE so that's what I did and it seems to be working! I just thought I might try Red or Green for a change. A lot of people seem to be a bit anti EE - apparently some group leaders won't do it at all.

I am not convinced that my consultant really understands Food Optimising! But overall SW is great and it works for me.

My consultant says you MUST have HExs. The calcium in HExA helps you to burn fat apparently. I have wondered about this when I have my cheese with an apple at bedtime on days when I haven't had my HExA especially when I have had loads of yogurt during the day.

I don't get it - I just tried changing todays diary to green and it seems I can have everything I've had today plus extra A and B - so more food than usual...how will this help me lose weight!? So instead of chicken salad for tea I could have cheese on toast! I don't think Red is for me as I...

I have only ever done EE but after reading some comments on here and needing a pre holiday boost, I am thinking about trying Red or Green. Any advice gratefully received. I am worried that I will get it wrong and put weight on!!

Feeling full of energy. Being able to go in any shop and buy clothes that fit. Not avoiding mirrors any more. People noticing how different I look. Being brave enough to go to the gym and enjoying it.

It gets a bit addictive. I couldn't cope with the paper diary at all and I found the SW book really confusing at the start. Once I found the online stuff it all began to make sense.

Yes absolutely. That's 56 lbs in 26 weeks. Go for it!

BBQ beef 25g pack is 6.5 syns

Well done everyone! I am 100% EE every day. Never ever go "off plan" and still I lose slowly!!!!!

I agree with other posters - you really need to write everything down and don't get hungry. Eat fruit or fat free yogurt when you get the munchies. Are you doing EE or Red/Green? SW does work - I have absolute faith in it - if you stick to it 100% Good Luck. There are lots of people on here to...

Emily - Don't be so sad! I just had two weeks when I lost 1/2 each week and I had stuck 100% to the plan and was very very disappointed but then last week I lost 3lbs almost overnight. It is true that you need to look at a month at a time. You have done fantastically already. Keep going forward...

I'm in. I just realised this morning that I am going on holiday in 5 weeks and I really want to be 11 stone by then. WI is Thursday so not sure yet how much I have to lose.

Do the online diary, it's so much easier and you can print it out if you need to take a copy to hand in. The syns online is really helpful too.

Yeah go for it - I didn't know you could buy gift vouchers - I thought all the vouchers were GP referral ones.

I am going to sleep NOW -Good night x

True. I can't believe how good it feels when you WI and have lost!!

I keep meaning to switch computer off and go to sleep but then someone posts something and it's rude not to reply!!

Don't despair - we all have weeks like that. My SW consultant says that every woman still has a cycle no matter what, so it might be that. Keep going...SW is great and I firmly believe that if you stick to it - it works and it's healthy and yummy too!

I am beginning to get the hang of it I think. I have spent too long on it today! Hubby is away and kids all revising for exams so I've been glad of this!

I don't think they are transferable cos they are like a prescription from the GP and they are numbered.

SW section???

If you can get hold of a Slimming World magazine (all newsagents sell them)they have loads of recipes and 7 day menu planners in them. That could be a good starting point.

Hi Serena - we both joined today...SW EE buddies I think! What's your target? and very well done with your loss so far.

Thanks I probably won't get that elusive sticker this week but you never know. Claire - you have lost so much, well done. Eternal Flame - I swim 32 lengths (1/2 mile) and 1/2 hour in gym too!!!!

Bowl of raspberries , strawberries and blueberries with a Mullerlight Vanilla & Chocolate sprinkles on top.....Yummy.......and very filling!

I average 2lbs a week. Lowest 1/2 lb in any week - never STS or gain so I'm happy with that. I do try to keeps syns to 10 a day and I have a chocolate treat EVERY day (unless I've already used up the syns!) I also keep an online food diary every day. What about you?

Yes. I have only ever done EE and I find it very easy to follow.

can someone tell me how many points in a mini magnum please?

Thanks Nikkiruth - I managed to work it out eventually! You are doing really well - keep it up. Are you doing EE?

I had one this afternoon. 2 syns according to Lifeline online.

Thanks everyone. It's lovely to feel so welcome.

My advise would be to stick to EE. Everyone seems to get confused when they do Red and Green ! Good Luck !

OOOooooo I did. It's almost as exciting as losing weight!

I thought I had managed to do it but not sure now!

You will - just stick to the plan - It really does work.

Please can someone tell me how to add one of these bars??? :8855:

Allie you have done brilliantly...hope I can keep it up.

Hi I'll be your buddy! I've been on EE since January but never did Green or Red. Club 10 will be 21 lbs down ie 13St 11lbs.

Confused Me too. I figure that if I spend hours on here trying to work out how it works I won't be eating! I would like to add a ticker factory bar but I can't work out how :cry:

Thanks for the welcome and good luck messages - Good luck to everyone on here.

Thanks everybody. I need to try and work out the ticker factory thing next... all the time I'm on here - I'm not eating!!!!

Hi I just joined MiniMins and I am a bit confused to say the least! I have been doing SW EE since January and need a bit of midweek support!

Hi I have just joined MiniMins after using it for info for some time. I have been at SW doing EE since January and am hoping to get my 3 stone award this week (or next week!) Not quite sure how this forum works but here goes....
