They're really nice Rochelle1! Same sort of taste as crunchie blasts but less than half the syns. They're not to big either, sometimes ice creams can be a bit sickly, but they are the same sort of size as those milky lollies. :-)

Thank you.

Hi Can someone please help me with the syns for these lollies. Per lolly: Energy - 116cal protein - 1.2g Carb - 11.4g of which sugars 10.1g Fat - 7.2g of which saturates 6.3g Fibre - 0.2g Thank you in advance. :D

I have just made the above version taken from Jan/Feb 2012 magazine. I didn't have any green beans so used celery instead. Served it with a chicken breast and synned some gravy. Tasted lovely and was very filling. Syn free if you don't add extra cheese!

Hi kwise1 Thank you for your reply. How much!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh maybe i'll stick to normal mash with onion!! Lyn x

Hi These are the small pots that you add water too, just like smash. Thank you in advance. Lyn

Thank you for taking the time to reply. lyn. x

There are 2 flavours: Roast chicken Golden Vegetable Thank you in advance. Lyn

Hi I enjoy my veg so i have no difficulty filling 1/3 of my plate with it, but when it comes to salad i'm a bit more fussy. I don't like tomatoes or cucumber so mainly stick to lettuce, peppers and onions. So would a big helping of lettuce, peppers and onions be classed as my 1/3? Thank you in...

I soooo know what you mean about the bread Kerry, i lived on it before i started SW. My every HEB is always bread, but the small slices are not the same. i really miss my garlic and herb pitta breads too but they're just simply not worth the syns! Sometimes it can get a bit samey, you're doing...

I made spag carbonara from the magazine, its lush!!

Evening all! This week has gone sooooooo fast, only 1 week until half term, yippeeee! Hows everyones week been? well done on your weightloss Hannah, whats your secret?? please tell. I know what your mean Kerry, this healthy eating lark is so expensive! I've really been good this week, tempted...

Thanks Kerry. Hi everyone! Well i've been doing EE for about a month now and the first 2 weeks i put a pound on each time, although my clothes definately feel looser. Decided not to weigh myself anymore as only get depressed and come and eat myself silly!! I have about 2 stones to lose and...

Hi guys Am i too late to join this thread? Doing EE on my own at home so not got the support of a group, this is the next best thing! Lyn x

Really Laura? Thats good. I wonder why it doesn't say that in the EE booklet?

Thanks Shrimpy. Great news about splitting HE's. Not so great about only having orange HEB. I didn't have any weetabix so i've just had some readybrek from HEB on red and green day. Should i now count it as a syn?

Thanks Gobolino. x

I have a couple of questions please. I am following EE. Can i have half helping of skimmed milk (175ml) and half the helping of reduced fat cheese (21g) as my HEA? I find i don't need all the milk helping and like a sprinkling of cheese on some meals. Could i also have any HEB from the red and...

ok. Thanks Michelle. Hopefully this week will be better. Lyn

So do you think you can eat too much? Today i've had a mullerlight yogurt, left over shepherds pie for lunch with loads of veg and tonight i've had a pork stir fry with noodles. I've had 10 syns so far and still need to fit in a HEB!

Now i am confused!! lol.

Pasta n sauce - 3 for a £1 at Asda just thought i'd let you know. x

lol perfect sense!! My dad moved his kitchen bin 5 years ago after my mum died, i still go to the old place where my mum had it to put the teabags in. i don't mind though, it makes me smile thinking my mum would be thing what a prat i am!!!! so maybe a part of me will always think " all those...

I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my nan and mum within weeks of each other 5 years ago. i really struggled at the time and went to the doctors who put me in touch with a counsellor connected to the surgery, he also prescribed me anti-depressants, which i decided not to take, not saying to rush...

Didnt think of doing that Fern! Its so hard to get out of the WW way of thinking, all i ever did was veg soup cos everything else had a point value. On a different note....just had a pasta and sauce...not bad....and i only used water!!!

Hi Maid. When i was on WW i was always taking soup to work and maybe now that the weather is getting colder i could start doing it again, got a bit boring after a while though, think i need to experiment more with different veg.

I'm trying to do it on my own. Going to groups is so expensive, think i would have stopped if i had weighed in at group these past too weeks anyway. I have all the books and stuff and get the SW magazine each month for ideas etc.

I thought about doing that fern, but really like the idea of EE, the receipes are lovely and easy to follow, not so restrictive. x

Hi bubbles Just looking in my EE booklet and it says that blackberries blackcurrants grapefruit lemons and limes melon raspberries strawberries redcurrants will all super-speed your weightloss!

Thank you for all the replys, feel like giving up but i'll try and persevere. x

Didn't have a HEB yesterday, usually have 3 slices of ww brown danish bread. Not a great lover of fruit, sometimes have an apple a day, so try and have extra veg where i can, does this make a difference? No salad or veg with my potato as only have half hour lunch break at work and have to queue...

So for example yesterday i had scrambled egg and salmon, (no milk) for breakfast, Mullerlight for break, jacket potato and spagetti with half HE cheese portion for lunch and chicken casserole with carrots, mushrooms, onions, brocolli and other half of HE cheese for dinner. my syns were gravy and...

I have been doing EE for the past couple of weeks and both weeks i have put on a pound. I dont understand it! I have been more active, probably walked around 30 miles a week (i know they say muscle weighs more than fat, but surely not that much more.) I've been having 10 to 15 syns a day, i've...

Can anyone tell me the syn value of weight watchers mini garlc and coriander naan bread please.

Great thanks for the explanation Honey.

Thanks for the reply Teresa. Seems silly you can eat oranges freely but not the juice!

Hi Can anyone tell me if pure orange juice is a free food, the concentrated kind or freshly squeezed? Thank you in advance. Lyn

Congrats on your weightloss mandy. You are so right about people being used to a certain kind of diet. Before thinking about slimming world again i was doing weight watchers, so used to counting points, i'm finding it hard to get out of that mindset. I'll look at sw recipes and think i'll never...

Thanks guys for all the advice, really. I think i'll read through all the plans again and make a decision. Would i have to stick to easy extra or could i swap the next day to red or green?

Hi Happyholidays I have heard people rave about it alot. So is it a general rule that you can eat both green and red days as long as 1/3 of your plate is salad or veg?

I'm really confused as to what to do. Can you let me know how you get on at your weigh in? Do you not like doing the green days either?

Hi Meadowbankles. Can i ask why you think it didn't work for you?

Hi I need to get back onto slimming world but am confused as to which plan to follow. I know you can chop and change but unsure about extra easy. Is this the best plan to be on? Most of the recipes in the magazine only have extra easy sin values, is this because it is the best? I used to be a...

Thanks for the answers guys. Looks like i'll be polishing off the tuna pasta tonight then!!!

Hi Mummy Helen How many syns do you allow yourself a week? i was going to aim for 10 a day.

Hi everyone Just another quick question. Can i carry over healthy extras? By this i mean if i make a big bowl of tuna pasta and save some for the next day, do i have to count the tuna as another healthy extra for that day or does it count as none because it was from the previous day? Does that...

I'm not a member so my first weigh in at boots is on Saturday.

I'm going to really try this week. Would it help if i really cut down on syns until i get weighed next?

Aww thanks for the encouargement Ellebear. I do feel really p**sed off with myself though, its not as if there wasn't enough chicken, salad and potatoes there!!!

I went feeling positive about sticking to the plan but slowly and surely that faded, firstly with some cheese and chutney crisps, then creamy coleslaw, finally topped off with 3 pimms!! Why? :cry:

Great, thanks missp. Enjoy your day. :cool:

I've done SW before shanny and always did the red and green days, people keep mentioning the extra easy and how great it is, i just can't get my head round the fact that you can eat all that mixed free food and still lose weight, need to re train my brain! lol.

This time i have decided to do it on my own without going to a meeting, so this site is great for the support. Which healthy extra is a curly wurly? lol. If only. How many syns is it please? I'm going to a bbq today so really going to try and stay on track.

Thanks for the advice Circes. Not too keen on burgers or sausages so i'm going to try and stick to chicken and salad. Going to check out that receipe section.

Hi Shanny. Is your cruise your goal too? I suppose having an incentive really helps. I'm going camping in Cornwall in 5 weeks and i'd like to lose a stone by then, do you think thats possible? I only started yesterday but i'm feeling hopeful.

Morning everyone. Exactly what the title says really. Which is the best way to play this? :confused:

Thanks emma-louise, makes perfect sense, even at 1 in the morning!! I will take a sneekypeek at your food diary if you don't mind. Thanks for the advice. :)

Hi Becca Wecca So you should be excited! heard so many good things about Orlando, love to go myself but closest i'm gonna get is adventure island in Southend! lol. Great idea setting yourself an achievable target, takes the pressure of just slightly. I'm sure you'll exceed a 1lb a week, easily...

Thats the one, Charlie Brooks. Thanks i can sleep tonight now! x

Dont you worry, I'll keep it between me and you emma-louise! So would you not suggest saving syns up then. I was hoping to save some throughout the week to have a couple (o.k maybe more) drinks of the alcoholic type on a friday and saturday. Not sure if i should be doing that.

A good one i used to do emma-louise is, gosh whats her name.... janine from eastenders. Really good, bit of funky dance, combat etc, good all rounder, not a new one but sure you could still pick it up somewhere, ebay?

Whats a fexi syn day emma-louise please? I'm new to this! :)

Hi Missp Well done on your 2st 8lb loss! I'm on my 1st day of SW, so pretty new to this type of thing, (any tips greatly received) but i suppose we all have one thing in common, we want to feel happy about ourselves, whether we need to lose 1 stone or 10. How have you found the diet so far? :)

I like the idea of your mini goals Queenie, might try that myself.

My motivation is skyhigh at the moment, i know its only the 1st day but don't see why it shouldn't last. When i was on weight watchers, like you, i constantly skipped meals, sometimes not eating until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. That was my downfall, as soon as i got in from work, i felt i had...

Fingers crossed for Tuesday then Katie, let us know how you get on. I started today and all i can say is, if i can eat like this and still lose weight, i'm dead chuffed!!! How have you found it? I, too will be weighing in at boots, do you still feel motivated knowing you're not going to a...

Thanks Caramelle, thats comforting to here. Are you relatively new too? Can't wait for my 1st weigh in. Always used to dred them on Weight watchers.

Hi Katie, I would have said yes. Surely it would specify if you couldn't. Hows the weight loss going? I have started today and am feeling really excited about it. :)

:giggle:lol, like your thinking 10st10lbs!! I'd stand there naked if i could........ok maybe not, not that confident yet. Just hoping to get to the stage where i don't need a tummy control cozzy for my hols in 5 weeks, lol. When i had my weight watchers weigh in i used to always make sure i...

Thanks Carole, thats really encouraging. I have all the books and stuff (got them off ebay) but they have bought in lots of new things and ideas since i tried last that i haven't really known before. They look great!! i'm feeling really positive...hope it lasts. :clap:

Brilliant, thanks 10st10lbs. I've been bookmarking each page on my firefox toolbar, so i don't lose it again. lol. I tend to weigh myself when i go to my partners mums, she doesn't have the electronic ones so not sure how accurate they are. I put them on the same tile in her bathroom just to...

Lol, its a bit late for praying. lol. Surely you're allowed to treat yourself once in a while!

Hi Miss Williams Haven't got the on line tool thingy but just looked in food directory, hasn't got the bacon carbonara but the chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream is......wait for it......41 syns!!!! Hope this is helpful. :)

I always thought Carol that the reason you lost weight was because you weren't mixing carbs and protein, hence the green and red days. I haven't done sl for donkeys years, think i'm stuck in old school mode, need to have a rethink me thinks!

I think i might Jo. Was looking at the booklet for it earlier and i could really see myself sticking to it. I have been trying to do weight watchers on and off for the last year but never really felt right doing it, i was so hungry and thinking about food all the time. I've been thinking about...

Hi Carole. You lost 12lbs the 1st week?!!!!!!! OMG thats fantastic! What did you eat? Air? lol. ;)

Thanks guys for all the replies. I wondered why i couldn't access my own profile! :confused: Like the idea 10st10lbs of only using free food and healthy extras until you decide what day you want to have, i don't know what my tastebuds will fancy for dinner at 7 o'clock in the morning. lol. Bring...

Just read the thread you suggested. Its answered more of my questions too. Thanks for the help Bunny. :D

I was going to start with 70 a week and see how i go. Surely the more you have, the slower the loss.

Thanks Bunny I like to relax with a drink at the weekend so think i'll save a few for that. How many syns do you allow yourself? :)

Great thanks IreneH. :)

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site and sl. I was just wondering if you have to use your syns in 1 day or can you save them up over the week? Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone I'm new to sw and new to this forum today. I was just wondering if you really lose weight on the extra easy plan? I can't believe you can eat all that free food and still downsize! lol. :)

Just looking at the "extra easy" booklet, it looks extra easy!!! lol. I might get it a try actually. Can you swap between the different types, e.g 1 day do green, next ee, next red or do you have to always do ee? :confused: Sorry for all the questions.

I can be strict, need to keep eating though as i have a tendency to reduce what i eat thinking it will make me lose quicker but of course that has the opposite effect.

Hi Honey I haven't tried this one myself but saw it on here when i was browsing. For a quick and easy pasta sauce mash laughing cow cheese triangles with lemon juice and your choice of herbs. :)

Can anyone tell me how i get my profile looking more interesting? You all have pretty pictures and weightloss tickers!!!!!!! I can't even get an avatar for some reason. lol.

4st 2lb, WOW thats great, well done Angelbecki. How long did that take? i'm going on holiday in 5 weeks, is 2 stone do-able in that time? lol. If only it was that easy. Am i right in saying from your profile you actually need to put on weight?

Hi Angel Thank you. :) How have you found the extra easy? I'm not convinced by it to be honest, i can't believe you can eat all that free food from both green and original and still lose weight.

Hi queenie. Thanks for the welcome. This is all so new and daunting. :confused:

Great thanks. Thats cleared that one.

Hi 10st10lbs and Circes Thanks for the reply. This site is completely confusing me, took me 10 mins to find this thread i started! I have all the books and the food directory, sort of know what i'm doing although i am a bit confused as to what "Grab and go" is, are they in stead of the healthy...

Hi everyone I've decided to try SW again, i did it a good few years ago and from what i can remember it worked. I've been doing WeightWatchers on and off for the past year but find i am always hungry. I'm not going to go to the clubs as they are so expensive to join so i'm going to try and go it...
