I haven't been on minimins in a very very long time, came back to find this thread as OHs new job finally allows me to dig my slow cooker out :) (he was home too late would have had to cook for about 15 hours lol). Definitely going to try some of these once he starts so thank you all.

Pretty sure it's about 150g cooked weight for 6 pp, I think that was a value for a Tesco one online, but it can't vary that much can it?!

Thanks guys. Been mega busy and not updated like I promised myself. But done ok I think. I really can't be bothered to write them all out now, am in my 4th week. I will just say I lost 2lb ish the first week, another 1lb the next I think it was, and less then 1lb last week BUT that was with...

home made sauce - tinned toms are free and they form the bulk of it really. Chuck in onions, celery, carrots and a stock cube and kidney beans - about 6pp per tin I think but you have to have them in a chilli! Are you sure about the mince though? When I substituted quorn for extra lean beef on...

Thank you :) I must add the rest tonight (am not doing all that using my phone, would take forever lol) so I have it all to look back on if I hit a brick wall! X

My mistake - just realised this is in discover and not pro points!

It might be worth double checking them - I worked out the bachelors pasta pots to be quite low, and so had some other people, but had got it wrong some where! but that tomato and herb pasta was about 5 in the end I think.

How are you getting on now? x

I will continue updating tomorrow, hubby2be almost finished cooking my tea :) Have to day 14 to get up here!

Day 3 Breakfast An apple 0 Lunch A noodle pot - can't remember which one but it had been worked out at 5 WW oaty choc chip cookie 2 An apple (they were close to going bad, needed using!) Dinner 1 serving Italian Spicy Chicken (ww online recipe) 4 100g cooked white pasta 3 Baby spinach, rocket...

Day 2 Breakfast Cheerios (3) and milk (2) = 5 Lunch Slim a soup - brocolli and cauliflower (2) and one slice white bread (2) = 4 Dinner WW Ready meal, chicken pasta bake (surprisingly tasty!) 6 Snacks WW oaty choc chip cookies, 2 Grapes Diet Coke Tea Daily: 17 - not great!

Decided to post my food diary so far, might be easier to skim through later than the tracker! Day 1 Breakfast Bowl of Cheerios 3 Semi-skimmed milk 2 (I don't use 2 pp worth, but not far under, so counted as 2 and then will take tea into consideration too!) Lunch Nothing ... I...

I'm a lager girl, but if they did diet lemonade I would definitely have that with vodka or gin, because I love that stuff too! Can't stand vodka and coke though. I actually think diet coke is the only sugar free option, other than water, in most pubs.

I have only just started myself - only had one weigh in, blew them on food and booze at weekend :)

2-3 depending which flavour according to online tracker

that does sound nice! Except for the mushrooms. They are evil.

EDIT: never mind, I see where I need to be!

excuse me for being a ditz- but what temp/time would you put it in the oven for? Looks lovely!

I was wondering the same. I have a problem with one of my legs, meaning I can't balance well on it so I do worry with all the kicking in most of them I'll end up really wonky looking lol! But that is also why I don't feel comfortable going in the gym, and I can't run well so that's out.... so...

I'll go with that anyway till I know better- I had syns to spare yesterday which should make up for it if it is any more. And I'm not denying myself my after dinner treat! Lol.

That's pretty much what I do- but wanted substitutes for mushrooms and peppers as I can't stand them but want to keep it 1/3 sf. Can always just do more carrot and tomato or something I guess. Cheers.

No beef- although there was minimal meat in it lol. Thanks anyway!

Anyone got any syn values? Couldn't get food shopping yesterday and started work at 7.20 this morning- just had time to dash in the little co-op. I bought the lasagne today so syns for that would be great. I have tried searching but it takes ages on my phone. I don't imagine it to be very low...

I like broccoli - just never thought it would go!!

Thanks guys. I am quite fussy - have only just started eating veg at all really and the ones I like I've never fancied putting in except carrot! I tend to only eat broccoli, cauliflower, carrot. I'll try a new one each time perhaps :)

Oooh I thought quorn was just free. That's made my day! You do cook it the same right??!

Bolognese is one of my favourite meals, both to cook and eat. However I need to make it SW friendly. This would be easy if I liked peppers and mushrooms but I hate them both! I have zero inspiration for veg to use instead except carrot. Any ideas? Xx

I love bolognese but am never confident of it being 1/3 sf. I hate peppers and mushrooms- any inspiration if things to put in (I do carrot and celery so far)?

Can anybody tell me what IT actually is? What's the benefit supposed to be? I need to get back on track and considered maybe going to find a group somewhere now I am driving again but I don't fancy it tbh. Also, those of you doing it from home- how worth it is online membership?

Thank you- Definitely drank too much again :7834: feeling rough now!! Back on track tomorrow I hope! Cant face food shopping today

So basically- 4 hours of standing around in the cold not knowing if we were going to get home/anywhere to sleep!!!

Ooooh Chocolate, even better. Yesterday was a disaster- I didn't eat much at all but drank about 5 pints of lager after a horrible day! BUT I deserved it - we had a nightmare! My OH was taking me away for the evening as it is my birthday on Monday. First- the sat nav sent us past the country...

I have 26... so its not 20!

Why can it tell when I get a certain number, but not now? Seems a bit odd - I get not being able to view others just not why it can't tell I am trying to look at my own - never come across that before. Sure I'll get by though! Thanks.

I cannot even see my own user profile when I click on my name- does anybody know why that might be? It says: Yellow Ribbon, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this...

Wow 10,000 sounds like loads! Maybe I should find out what I do in a normal day - it'll probably be shamefully low and might kick my arse into gear! There's probably an app for that!

Good point! :d'oh: I don't know now, packet has gone. But it was very tasty and I'd hardly used any syns so I'm not going to worry about it.

Thank you - I couldn't get any extra lean - I'm quite relieved that's all it is, should easily be able to save enough syns.

Ahh thank you Oooh, that sounds lovely! Let me know if it tastes it! I think I will go and join my mums class once I have wheels again - then I can go to hers for a SW friendly meal after - be nice to have one cooked by someone else!

Mmmm Cauliflower cheese (ish) Thursday. Am off work today, have so far had a bit of fruit to keep me going. For lunch, I am about to go and get a cheese sauce mix as I have left over cauliflower and broccoli - a fair bit of it too so I should be ok then till OH gets in at 9.30 ish tonight. I...

It was 2, So total of 8 on Tuesday. Wednesday. Breakfast - mullerlight with banana and grape Lunch - Tinned spaghetti on toast (HEXB) Dinner- Chicken breast with new potatoes, Cauli, Broccoli and Carrots. Gravy - 2 syns I think. But I have plenty left if I am not quite right. Snacks-...

Change of plan - salmon with honey and chilli, plus rice. Cant remember exactly but recipe was SW and it was no more than a couple!

The other half wants some on his dinner tonight, I just want to know if I can indulge too! Off the back of the sachet: Protein 0.6g Carbs 4.4g Fat 0.5g Fibre 0.3g all per 105ml serving when made up according to instructions. We had the lamb one before I started and it was...

I searched and found this: "The lean mince is syned but it's only 1/2 a syn per 28g raw weight, so you are probably still within your syn allowance. Hope this helps." but it was from a while ago - can anybody tell me if this is correct?

Only about 20 minutes late so I can live with that! So - Day 1 - here goes! Forgot to take my Oat so simple to work so had a banana with toffee mullerlight - not 1/3 Superfree but close if bananas count?! Lunch - Spag Bol from last night - 0.5 syns (tomato puree) plus for the lean mince...

Ah ok thank you!

Thank you! I am just waiting for the Asda delivery - its late!

Do they sell the books separately on the website?

I have just seen another thread on the same subject - seems it might be worth doing. Now I just need to consider which package!

Hi everybody :) I have seen my mum do well on Slimming World and am hoping to follow her example! However, I cannot get to groups at the moment, at least until I get a car, and I was wondering - Are any of you guys members online? Is it worth it? I really want to give it my best shot but...

Hello everybody :) Firstly, an introduction- I am almost 25 years old (one week left of being early twenties lol) and 5ft tall. I am not sure of my exact weight but I am a size 16 which is far too big for my height! I don't go to a group - I would like to but do not have the confidence to do...

Thanks ladies. Not been able to get online last few days but have been having same sort of snacks and stuff so I'm pleased with myself. Had honey lime and chilli salmon one night- it's beautiful! If you haven't tried it already, do! Annoyed with myself I couldn't get on here though, kept...

And yeah, yesterday the kids had cheese on toast- that was tough!!

Thankyou all for the encouragement. Today was potentially harder as was spending the day with a friend who is moving away Thursday- so he chose where we had lunch. Luckily there were jackets on the menu! The one that looked best for plan was chicken, BBQ sauce and cheese. I figure cheese as HE...

The slimmingeats website is good, i've only been here a couple of days but I think it's a poster from these forums that put it together?

Thanks! So do I! Day 1 toast with extra light flora= 9 pasta, tuna and sweet corn with extra light Mayo =1 jacket potato with egg Mayo, extra light of course = 1.5 fruit and ff yog for pudding this might not be too hard! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for posting :) work is going to be the hardest part, I'm a nursery nurse and find myself joining the kids for their meals and snacks- going to have to bring mountains of fruit salad I think!! Very glad to find I can eat lots of pasta, I live on the stuff anyway so just sauces I need to...

Hi all, have been looking on here for the last couple of days and have seen my mum do fairly well on SW too so I'm going to have. Go myself. Although I'm going to try today, I didn't get to the supermarket over the weekend so I'm 9 syns already from my morning toast! Also have no fruit left...
