Ignore this post. I managed to mess up WW Weight Tracker so it thought I was trying to maintain! x

Whoops, yes. I normally make it with shoulder if I'm not doing SW. I'll change it to leg now :)

I love kleftiko when I'm in Greece and last year I found a recipe for it in Sainsbury's magazine and it's wonderful. I can't remember the exact recipe but this is how I make it. Serves 4 750g lamb leg or shank 1 onion, roughly chopped 5 good sized potatoes, peeled and chopped into four 300ml...

I made a SW Creme Brulee with Quark/Total 0% (I just interchange them depending on what I can get from the supermarket). Layer the ramekin with sliced strawberries, top with quark mixed with white choc options and then sprinkle a tbsp of Splenda brown sugar (0.5 syn per tsp I think) or normal...

I've just started eating Fruit Salads and Black Jacks again. Only 0.5 each and if you put them in the fridge, you have to savour them, unless you want to lose a tooth!

I saw it today. I never would have watched it if I hadn't seen the title of this thread and I was expecting a diet show. Instead I saw there salvating over the biggest burger I have ever seen. Worst move ever!

I tried this tonight, I fancied something alcoholic but had no syns left, and it totally did the trick :)

Bisto now do a Chip Shop Style Curry Sauce you make up at home. I'm not sure how many Syns it is off hand and it's not on the website, but the rest are between 2-2.5 per level tbsp dried so I wouldn't imagine it would be that much more.

Mini Spanish Tortilla done in silicone cases or muffin tins. Sheesh kebabs made from lean lamb mince and spices. Brushcetta (wholemeal french stick rounds topped with a tomato-pasta style sauce and cheese maybe?). Melon and parma ham on sticks. The fruit skewers and raspberry sauce from this...

The beef kofta curry from the SW website/Curry Heaven book is amazing. My boyfriend tries to get me to make it pretty much every night. Meatloaf with a hard boiled egg in the middle. Stuffed vegetables are good too, you can add some cooked rice and other chopped veggies to bulk them out...

That's another thing I love about SW - my food bill has gone down so much when I'm at uni. I used to spend an insane amount on very little but now I use a wider variety of non-processed food (lentils, beans, pulses, fresh veg etc) and less meat, I'm saving easily £10 a week. It's just nice to...

It's funny how much it changes in a few years. I can remember only about 4 years ago Stagg Chilli and Savoury Rice were free

It's fun finding out how satisfying some food can be in place of others you would normally eat. For example, today I've been craving sweet stuff all day and ate most of my Syns in sweets and sugary drinks so I had to find a Syn-free alternative so ended up having two nectarines. The funny thing...

I love the Aldi Cook Range. The Gammon with Mango Salsa is amazing. Again, not the cheapest thing but sometimes it's nice to have something that tastes naughtier than it is :)

Breakfast: Bowl of strawberries, two handfuls of cherries, wholemeal toast (HE) and half a can of beans. Snack: M&S Sushi (0.5 syns), pear. Lunch: Smoked Salmon, Lambs Lettuce, Lemon Juice and Seafood Sauce (1.5 syns). Dinner: Pork Stir - Fry (Pork Tenderloin, Beansprouts, Peppers, Carrots...

If you like Carrot and Corriander soup but fancy something different, try Carrot, Orange and Ginger. Just add the zest and juice of an orange and the replace the amount of corriander with ground ginger or about an inch or so of fresh grated ginger.

Definitely giving it a go. I bet it's nice with a Cherry Mullerlight in the topping as well.

I love the Choc Mint, it's like After Eights. The Strawberry ones are nice too, are they a limited one though because they didn't have any at my class yesterday.

Stupidly I let my gain this week get me into a really bad slump and have basically been on self-destruct post weigh-in. I'm writing down everything and work out the syns anyway, just for therapeutic reasons, but I'm drawing a line under it. Tomorrow is a new day and a new week. Breakfast: Slice...

Thanks for the advice (yet again!). I'm going to make sure I keep a bottle of water with me at all times to see if that helps :)

Put on 2lbs. I am so dissapointed with myself. I had two bad days Sunday and Monday but I didn't actually go over my weekly allowance of Syns. Plus I've been doing at least 20mins intense exercise each day and I've managed to get into a dress a size smaller than usual. So confused/upset :(

I'm going to Gran Alicant and I know there is (and please forgive all my poor spelling that is to proceed) a Mercadona, a Consum and a Super Value. Also there is an Eroski about 15 mins away.

I'm definitely not going to take my 1lb loses for granted after this! Having the visual just made me see actually how much I'm losing. Thank you :)

I'm joining my university gym in September and I wanted to look at buying some good trainers as I had a knee injury a long time ago so they can get quite sore initially. I have no idea where to start. Should I get running shoes? Any recommendation for a good shop to go to? Note: I take a size...

I used to feel the same and I still feel if I have certain things for breakfast I end up so hungry an hour later. Have you tried having a hard-boiled egg in your breakfast? I feel these keep me full for ages and maybe using your HE for some toast to go with it? Don't worry about the Syns, as...

Open the windows/use the extractor fan maybe? Or try a plug-in air freshener in the kitchen? Apparently leaving a bowl of vinegar in a room overnight 'absorbs' the smell but I've never tried it myself.

I'm going self-catering to Spain in a few weeks and I thought it'd be good if we shared advice for a SW holiday. I've decided to pack somethings a) to save money as things like baked beans seem to cost a fortune abroad and b) to keep me on plan abroad. I'm going to take * Sainsbury's Basics...

If I'm making beef I use chopped onion, chopped garlic, chilli powder and mixed herbs and I bind it with egg. I also wrap them in lean back bacon if I don't think it's been bound very well. For my turkey burgers, I make them thai flavour, so I put chopped red onion, sliced chillies (or chilli...

That's brilliant! When I hear about people's success on here it makes me want to continue even when it feels to hard!

I'm back on track, well sort of. Dreading getting on the scales tomorrow but it's got to be done. Breakfast: Two Pears, a handful of cherries Lunch: Bacon, cooked tomatoes, slice of brown toast (HE) Snack: Cooked chicken, cherries Dinner: Two jacket potatoes with beans and cheese (HE)...

So much for my 100% weekend...the last couple of days I've just gone off track dramatically but I think I've learnt what I need to improve on. I'm not very good and coping with unplanned scenarios. I went out shopping on Sunday and the people I was with suggested getting lunch and I was thrown...

Breakfast: 3 rashers lean grilled bacon, a handful of cherry tomatoes, half a fresh pineapple. Snack: 12 Mikado (6 syns) Lunch: Salmon pate (tinned salmon, cottage cheese, total 0%, herbs and spices), 4 Ryvita (HE), mixed salad, raw carrot, cucumber. Snack: Half a fresh pineapple Dinner: M&S...

I'm the same. My boyfriend found out my weight a few months ago but we don't mention it and recently I've got out of the habit of cutting labels out of my clothes (I know it's silly) so he knows my clothes size but the other day he offered to pick up a top in my size from his local Next as mine...

Anyone got any advice for some good songs for exercising? I'm getting a bit sick of my playlist at the moment. My current one is: Ke$ha - Your Love is My Drug Eliza Doolittle - Pack Up Katy Perry - California Girls David Guetta - Getting Over You Tinie Tempah - Frisky Jay Z - Empire State of...

I haven't seen it in the supermarkets. I've been looking for the Wok one but all I can find is the Olive and Sunflower. Maybe try e-mailing the company for information?

Thanks for the great advice. Definitely going to pamper myself later :) So far I've had 6 of my Syns on Mikado and just did 5km on the cross trainer and 15 minutes of arm exercises with weights which helped with the boredom.

It's going ok so far but it's only 2:30pm... Breakfast: 3 rashers lean grilled bacon, handful of cherry tomatoes, half a pineapple chopped with 0% total Lunch: Salmon pate (made with tinned salmon, 2tbsp cottage cheese, 2tbsp 0% total, juice of a lemon, pepper and chilli flakes) with 4 sesame...

Is it ok to occasionally have two a's or two b's on EE rather than having one of each? I eat plently of low fat dairy, like yoghurt and cottage cheese, so would it be ok to skip having an a in favour of two b's or would this somehow affect my weight loss?

I love not having to tell people I'm on a diet or having to say 'Sorry I can't eat out/come out for drinks because my diet wont allow it'. I can adapt it to everyday life. I love the food and that it's something everyone can enjoy. For example, my boyfriend enjoys the Kofta Curry recipe more...

I've tried Bio Oil on mine and it didn't do a lot but I tried Botanics Nourishing Body Oil in the glass bottle. It was like trying to rub chip fat into your skin but I think because it's thick and you have to massage it well that the motion helps too.

I'm going to give it a go. I'm in the house by myself tonight and that tends to be when I eat way more than I should. I guess it's a case of if no one sees it, I don't need to count the syns for it :rolleyes:

The last few weeks I was pretty unmotivated and went through stages of losing half a pound, getting frustrated and putting on the next week as a result. Sometimes you think you're eating healthy but our minds can be pretty selective about what we remember so the best thing to do is write it...

I've been doing Slimming World for 12wks now but the last 4wks or so I've really just lost my motivation. I think it's just the frustration of living with people who can eat what they want and not gain an ounce. However, I've pulled myself together this week and I've set myself a target of...

I'm the same. When I first did SW years ago, I could never do Green days and I felt like I never lost that much weight on them but now I understand my body a bit better. I'd say stick to EE because sometimes you do want the odd potato or a bit of pasta but just because it's free doesn't mean you...
