    Cheese & Onion Comfort Pie SYN FREE

    Made the pie with cottage cheese, and it was great. Put about 150g in their, probably wouldn't use quite as much next time though. OH loved it too. Tasted like a cheese and onion pastie. Thanks for the recipe!

    That sounds yum. Do you think it would work with cottage cheese?

    nervous

    Good work. The other night I had two poached eggs, beans and SW chips. My OH said "YOU CAN'T EAT THAT", I had great pleasure in telling him "YES I CAN". This is like no other diet!!! It is the BEST!

    Carol233 that doesn't seem like a lot to eat to me. I would be pretty hungry if that was all I ate. I suggest you eat more free foods. Other than the milk, there are no healthy extras? Like Coljack said, I know smoothie's/milkshakes with fruit are bit of a no no really because of the high syn...

    Extra Easy How to manage night shift?

    That's great Lexiedog. I start nights tonight, and I also struggle. I am going to go prepared though and maybe make up a quiche or something easy to take with me. It is my weigh in in the morning, but think I will leave it until Monday, so it is consistent with my other weigh in's being as...

    Carol don't give up over 1lb. The plan does take a bit of getting used to, but everyone on here is great and are always willing to assist. Like ClaireX said try posting your food diary's and then see how you go on. You CAN do this x

    Syn value please - is it right??

    I have been and bought two packs of Pasta & Sauce Lite, made by Continental. Now I have tried calculating the syns on Body Optimise but I am not so sure of how to work it out. I will be using the milk as a HEXA, to keep the syns down. Here are the figures: Dry per serving 22g: 86kcal...

    Not doing great at the moment. I am not very organised so far but I am off work next week so I will get my fat arse in to gear then. Will have to sign up for body optimise too so i can get access to all the syn values. How is everyone else doing??

    Help calculating syns

    I went to SW classes many years ago, and I am sure that part of the starter pack was a sliding card that you used to work out the syn values. Have I dreamt this?? If not do they still do them? They don't have SW in NZ, so I am rather stuck with regard to calculating syns. Does anybody know if...

    From WW back to SW??

    I moved to New Zealand around two years ago and have been struggling with my weight. It seems I have been on a constant holiday since! Before emigrating I followed the SW plan and went to classes, and lost a decent amount of weight. Needless to say I have put it all back on and probably some...

    Had baby 5 months ago & wanting to lose 3 stone!

    Good luck lostpolarbear. I started WW two weeks ago, and I have really noticed a difference in how I feel. I have lost a few pounds and I am coping to terms with the points. This site is really helpful, so I am sure you will do great. Good luck
  130. gingercake

    anything zero points.

    I really like the WW jelly. I am like you and eat when I am bored, which is my biggest downfall. I will have a packet of crisps and a fruit bar, then I think I could have had a proper meal for those 4 or 5 points!!!

    Frozen Veg

    The ingredients list, green beans (0), broccoli (0) and carrots (0) Per serving is 137kj, with no saturated fat. I am confused, I like to have a lot of veg, so should I point it or not?
  132. gingercake

    Frozen Veg

    I am rather lazy when it comes to preparing veg, and find it much easier to buy the frozen stuff. I have looked in my shopping guide and it clearly states that cauliflower, brocolli and carrots are 0 pts. However the frozen mixed veg shows 1/2 pt per serving??? :confused: Can anybody explain...

    My first WW weigh-in...

    Well done. I had my first weigh in last night and lost 1.4kgs/3lbs. Very pleased with that because I don't actually feel like I have been on a diet!!! So far so good. Good luck for next week!

    Anybody starting WW tomorrow??

    Well I had my first meeting tonight. Weight was pretty much what I expected. It is only a small class, but everybody was really friendly. They had all kinds of offers on for the books and points calculator, so needless to say I spent a small fortune and got a couple of bargains. I am ready to...

    Burgers and Sausages

    We have just had a lot of sausages and burgers made up from Venison meat (which is apparently really low in fat) with some pork in there to. Any idea of how many points they would be? We have got a chest freezer full of them so I am hoping they aren't too bad!

    New to WW

    Thanks for all the tips. I am looking forward to strating it now. I always tend to stick to these things for two weeks or so and then go back to how I used to eat. Hopefully the classes will encourage me to continue on and when I do fall off the wagon to just get back on. :)
