I usually have 1 weight watchers wrap at 5 syns and then use a bit piece of lettuce as a wrap for a second fajita! Mmmm making me hungry.

1lb off for me which has finally given me my half stone award! So chuffed! Given me a new motivation too :) 1/4 of the way to target !!!

Good luck with weigh in today everyone :)

Hey everyone :) I'm currently at 10st 6.5lb, final target of 9st! Can't wait to see the back of the 10s and never see them again! X

Thank, well done to you too :) I have also set myself a 2lb target this week. We can do it!! X

1/2 lb off for me tonight, pleased with that as was expecting a gain! Back on it 100% now, booked my holiday so I now have a goal and I will get there!! :)

Not looking forward to getting on the scales tonight! Have had a rubbish week up until Monday, have been really good since then but unlikely it will make much difference now! Oh well, must face the music and it might give me the kick up the bum I need to get me motivated again.

2lb off for me tonight! Happy girl :) well done eveyone else on your results xx

I also have this issue with my partner! I've put it down to the fact he doesn't have to worry about his weight, so he doesn't understand how important it is to us when milestones like that happen. Well done on getting into the jeans :) xx

It's such a good feeling! Definitely the motivation I need! Well done everyone else on there loses this week :) so nice to have the support of everyone here, especially at a time like easter! xx

First weigh in and I'm 3lb down! Happy with that :)

Jumping in on this thread! My first weigh day today. Hoping for a loss as I have been on plan all week even over easter! Feeling nervous this, is this normal on first weigh in?!?! Xx

Hi, I am rejoining slimming world on Wednesday next week. Been off plan for over a year and the weight has piled back on. I mainly eat gluten free as my partner has coeliac disease, so I plan on keeping this up when I am back on slimming world. Will be keeping an eye on this :)

Honk for last 2 days!

Hi all :) I'm Charlotte, and as of yesterday I am on the slimming world journey to being a lighter me! I did slimming world a few years ago and slipped into bad habits once I got to target weight and piled the weight back on. After a few comments about my weight I have decided now is the time...

Hi, Had another on track day today! Even resisted the marshmallows and chocolates people have been offering me all day. Not quite sure how. Went slightly over calories on my dinner but didn't have a 3rd snack so all evens out I'm sure! B- banana shake S - satsuma L - low fat cheese snack pot...

Day 2.. B - vanilla shake S - banana L - choc shake S - sf cheese crisp things D - home made burger, sweet potato wedges So far so good. Still feeling positive! And spent 3 hours christmas shopping today so that must have burnt a few calories!!

Hey, So had my first slim fast day yesterday. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Snacks definitely help and plenty of water! This is how it went.. B - muller light (hadn't got the slim fast till lunch time) L - banana shake S - SF pretzels (yum!!) D - chicken breast, sweet potato wedges S - SF...

Hey :) Thanks for the replies! It's nice to know other people are on the same journey so can support each other through it. Do you tend to stick to one flavour shake or do you mix it up a bit so you don't get bored? Good luck to both of you with your journey, we can all get there together! X

Hey :) I am planning on starting slim fast on Monday (pay day!). I have had a good look around here and also the slim fast site and have a few questions I hope you can answer for me! I plan on using the powder as it obviously works out cheaper.. I quite fancy the banana and the vanilla. Anyone...

Hey, Can anyone tell me the Syn value for oats so simple pot with chocchunk top? Looks yummy but unsure of syns. Thanks in advance!

Hey that roast veg and pasta bake looks amazing! Could I have the recipe please?

It's my first weigh in on Thursday! I have just changed from slimming world to weight watchers, and finding it so much easier. Fingers crossed for a good loss :)

This is really helpful thanks :) I agree that planning is always a good idea. If I dont have anything ready or organised then I tend to find myself going off plan. As I write this I am cooking up some pasta to make a tuna pasta salad for the next couple of days lunches :)

Thanks for all the advise! Im gunna try having a muller light, and I've got some kiwis that look soft. Gunna instruct the boyfriend on how to make me some soup for dinner, see how that goes! Def will be having some honey and lemon if it's better than strepsills too x

Hey guys, I'm feelin really sorry for myself at the moment as I think I've got to tonsillitis, can barely swallow but I'm so hungry! Anyone got any tips on food that will make me feel better that's easy to eat? Thanks

I have this! First ever Davina one I've bought and used it for the first time a few days ago and thought it was fab! Only just stopped aching from it lol. Made me realise how unfit I am, but I imagine if I stick at it I will start to see change. I also bought the new Jenifer Ellison one but yet...

Ahh fab.. You've just made my day :)

Oh I dunno why it says original at the top.. I'm following extra easy :)

This might sound silly but can tinned tomatoes count as superfree? Or are they just a free food? I love having tinned tomatoes on pasta, but struggle to get my superfree in with it.. And then it occured to me that it might count! Am I wishful thinking?!

My work is always full of biscuits and cakes.. And currently as an incentive they hav free pick&mix sweets where I have to walk past to get to my desk!! Was a nightmare for the first few days of SW as before I would have just dived in an not thought about it. But yesterday and today when the...

Brilliant thanks so much

Hi could anyone tell me the Syn value for tesco Chinese seasonin sachets? And also for schwartz jerk spice? Many thanks in advance

Saturdays food.. Got up too late for brekky Lunch: fried egg, 2 lean bacon, slice wm toast, ketchup (2syn) Dinner: chicken kebab, loads of salad, no pitta, garlic sauce (estimating 7syn total?!) 3 malibu & diet cokes 7.5 syns Slightly over syns but was good leading up to it and back on...

Just realised I put weds yesterday insted of tues.. So here's the real weds food diary! Weds.. Brekky: 1 slice wm toast, 3 plum tomatoes, cup of tea Lunch: tuna pasta salad, grapes, muller light Dinner: Sw spag Bol, lots of veg included! Snack: alpen light (3syns)

If I have 1 slice wholemeal bread (average size loaf not 400g) and 1 alpen light bar, how many syns should I count on top of hexb? Im doing ee plan. Confused! Thanks in advance x

First day back on Sw for about a year so going to do a diary to keep myself aware of what I'm eating. I have a habit of "forgetting" the naughty things if I don't write it down!! 2 days a week I go to college in the evenings after work so I always end up with a jacket pot as my boyfriend doesnt...

Tuna pasta salad and a toffee muller light - first day back on Sw for over a year.. Actually really enjoyed my lunch :)

I think because you can get so much support on here, then you don't need to pay £5 a week to go to the group. I think I have got the motivation I need as ive got a date that I need to do it by, and it's a realistic goal!

Hi all. Hope you don't mind me posting in here :) I am starting slimming world again tomorrow, but will be doing it from home as I cannot justify the cost of the group as I only used to go for the weigh in and never stayed to the group! I plan on weighing myself weekly at boots on a Saturday...

Homemade burgers, SW chips and big salad :) yummy

I just thought that considering she asked me to email her with it I would of had a response by now! Also it means ive gone another week probably making the same mistakes I made last week so i probably won't lose again and I'll be paying for the privilege!

Need a bit of advice about this.. I emailed my food diary to my C on weds eve after weigh in as she asked me to after my gain. However she still hasn't got bak to me!! I text her on sat as was worried I had wrong email address or something but she didn't even bother to get back to me via text...

1 double Choc Alpen light and a pear! Yummy

I'm having this prob today too! I know I need to be good but can't stop eating. So far I've had a millionaire shortbread, galaxy cookie crumble, chicken kebab with sauce and pitta, and 4 malibu's. My excuse is that it's * week so feel the need to eat by body weight in rubbish!!!

With the having superfree with a meal in the case of Brekkie if I have 2xweetabix and a pear I know it's not within my meal but would that count? My logic behind this is cos it's a hexb it's a measured amount anyway so portion control wouldn't come into it for this, am I right? X

Will definitely make more of an effort to have the superfree included in my meals rather than after. Thanks for the advice :) much appreciated x

Happy birthday hun x

Ohh that makes sense, I feel a bit silly now for thinking that I could make up for the superfree after the meal! Will definitely make sure I try and add this into my meals instead of after.

Ahh that's interesting to know about the water retention, I hope that has something to do with the gain too. Thanks everyone for your support, this forum is fab for morale! X

Thanks both for your feedback! Ye the philli is the light one and it's from the little tubs and I was using 1.5tubs so well within the limit. And no the bread wasn't from a 400g loaf but was leaving a little bit of each slice in the hope it was even out to the right amount! Probably cheating...

Thanks for your comment, I did wonder about bread, think I may swap my toast for weetabix for this coming week and see if it makes a difference. It's my "star week" too, so I suppose that doesn't help the situation either! Just need to remember that it worked for me before so it will do again.

I wonder if anyone can help me.. I've been doing a food diary on here for the past week and I've weighed in tonight and put on half a pound. So angry! I can't see where I've got wrong so was wondering if anyone could take a look at it and shed any light on what I'm missing or having too much of...

I've increased my water intake to 2 litres a day, and have been drinking this for the last week now. Has anyone else found that there skin gets worse before it gets better? I rarely get spots but I'm now getting loads! I'm hoping weigh in will show me a nice loss to make it all worth while :)

Quick update on today's food! Breakfast: 2x wm toast (hexb) with philli (hexa) and some pineapple Lunch: left over sausage casserole, some pineapple Dinner: chicken fajitas - chicken, peppers, onion, seasoning (2.5syns), lettuce, salsa (2syns) Snacks: apple, 2 x Thornton chocolates (4syns)...

Hello Everyone, I thought it was about time I started a food diary on here. Ive been reading lots of other peoples and seeing all the great feedback and advice all you friendly people are given! I started SW last year and stuck at it for a few months, but then christmas came round and I...

I've got a sausage and bean casserole in the oven, will have with rice, and a big bowl of pineapple for pud!

Lovetosew I hate telling people I'm on a diet too, I always find that for some reason they try and make it more difficult for me! My work collegues are the worst, they love buying cakes and biscuits which are unfortunately always put at the end of my desk as there's space, and then trying to...

Decided I needed a chocolate fix and picked up a chocolate brownie - started to eat it then realised I was being silly and wasting syns and managed to stop myself eating it half way through! So pleased with myself haha

Just had an apple and a glass of water, will have 2 x wm toast with philli when I get to work as my hex's

I crush mix garlic paste and rosemary together and spread thinly on the top then grill, gives them a lovely flavour and only a couple of syns for the garlic paste

Pork chops, garlic mash and loads of veg

It's amazing! My face SW dish by far :) what toppings u having on it?

Yeh I sometimes use ketchup in mine for a bit more tomato flavour, I have the easy chilli jar aswell so sometimes a bit of that for something a bit different! But I swear by courgette in it! Bulks it out and I'm addicted to them lol

I always add courgette for extra veg and a splash of Worcestershire sauce! Mmmm

Gunna try smash pizza, topped with ham and peppers, served with salad. Never had the smash pizza before so could go horrible wrong and end up with something else!

Is peppermint tea free?

Make sure your using your syns for yummy things so u dont feel deprived :)

I find I get bloated quite alot and I'm doing extra easy. Not sure y it is but my stomach swells up so much sometimes I can barely move, very uncomfortable :( If anyone has any idea what it is please shed some light! Or tips for helping when u are bloated.

Can someone please tell me if kiwi is a speed or super speed food please? I've left my book in the car n the bfs gone off to work with it! Thanks in advance x

Just had spaghetti hoops, baby bel light and a banana! Weigh in tonight! Eeek :(

Try wrapping the chicken in bacon or Parma ham.. Makes It even tastier!! Mmm and a sprinkle of cheese with hexA :) yummy making me hungry now!!

Thanks for all the great ideas, I've got some fat free natural yog in the fridge so will be trying that when I get in from work. Glad to see I'm not the only salad cream lover haha :)

Ohh yes may try the rice one as a change! Somethin a bit different. And like u say less salad cream so less syns!

I already use the light one but it's still 1syn per tbsp and I use about 3 per portion so would like to half that if possible! Thanks, wil def try the Greek yoghurt!

I need a little bit of advice please :) I love making potato salad, at the mo I'm having it for lunches made with potatoes, spring onion, red pepper, bacon, hard boiled egg then salad cream mixed in. Only problem is that I loveeee salad cream and using up syns on this, is there anything I can...

When I have fajitas I tend to wrap in lettuce instead of a wrap so then it's free! And u still get the yummy taste of the chicken and spices but without all the stodge! Mmm hungry now :)

Thanks, I wasn't sure either so allowed a few syns for it just in case!

Hi, Just a quick question.. If you have breaded fish but remove the bread crumbs, does that then count as syn free? Had one for dinner but didn't eat the breadcrumbs so hoping it's free or low syns now!! Thanks x

Yeah the chicken and noodle 1 is the frozen one, so 5 syns isn't too bad! The chicken hot pot is a frozen one, it says chicken breast in rich gravy, with carotts swede onion and peas topper with sauté potatoes, it's 6.2g fat and 275 kcal, 400g. Xx

Hey, does anyone know the syn value of Thai sweet chilli chicken and noodles and the chicken hotpot on the tesco light choices ready meals? How do u find these things out?! Thanks charli xxx

Thanks for the replies! I'm new to slimming world only joined on Thursday! I'd made couscous with salad for my lunch yesterday at work and i've never tried it before, but I didn't like it lol so had a bit of a panc about what to have instead so had to quickly run to town and choose something...

Hello, I'm new to this site, having a nosey around but just wondered if anyone knows what the syn value is in the marks and spencers count on us range is? Especially the spicy chicken arrabiata (I think it's called). Sorry if this has already been posted but can't find it anywhere! Thanks...
