I know exactly what you mean...2 years ago I joined SW and in about a year I had lost just over 4st of the 6st I wanted to lose. Then I hit a wall and couldn't lose weight only to find out I had cancer. That's all sorted now, but over last year I put most of back on. Now it's even harder to lose...

Hiya Peabody, We'll done on your 2lb lost!! I'm new to 5:2 as well. I've been testing the waters for a couple weeks now, but I haven't lost any weight. My fasting days are easy-peasy. It's my eating days I'm struggling with. I think I'm making up for my fast days too much! It's like I have a...

I don't think ya sound selfish. I think you're just concerned for your friendship as anyone would be. Hope you two can work it out as having a close friend is such a great thing! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oops sorry, typo...got it in my notepad as 40ml squirted=1syn just for future refrence. LoL Thanks again tho! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ok I see now...I dunno why I'm making this so complicated for myself! I got it now though. 40ml=1/2 syn 100ml=2.5 syns and the whole can, 1196ml=about 30syns Thanks for your help today Ermintrude!!!

LoL! I am beaming! (I just don't want to come across as braggin too much!) I love seeing people with huge losses, but I'm just one of those slow and steady losers I guess! The username is what kids in school used to tease me with because my maiden name is Passarelli, but over time it stuck-...

Dear Hubby, I'm not asking you to stop buying chocolates, treats or sugary fattening goodies. I'm not asking you to stop eating them in front of me. But when I splurge a little and decide to have two of your chocolate covered cherry liquors, PLEASE don't ask me a few minutes later if I want to...

That's brilliant Fruitybabe! Puts my first week-2.5lbs to shame, and that's with chocolate! I love it when it works out like that for people so I can tell people that I'm not missing anything! Keep up the good work!

Having a delish spag bol on top of grilled portobello flat mushrooms with HexA mozzarella on top. Schlupt!!! And a salad on the side too...to make it Success Express!

So really if I wanted to find out how many syns were in an entire can I'd have to buy a brand new one and squirt the whole thing out in a jug and measure how many millilitres its is in all. But I understand that for the time being, 100ml squirted is 2.5 syns which is still WAY less than what I...

Wait! So based on your calcs then am I wrong about the whole can being 75syns? Or is everyone else wrong about the 6.5 syns? I guess I'm still confused.

OMG Thanks so much! So I sorta don't have to be the bearer of bad news. Phew! This is very helpful because I was way off before. I've decided not to go crazy with the whipped cream from now on. I mean, 3 level TB for 1 syn just isn't worth it to me... the old way I was measuring it was silly I...

So I'll hate it if it turns out that I'm the bearer of bad news, but I need some advice on a whipped cream that everyone I know uses...please please please put me out of my misery! It's Creamfield's Light Real Dairy Cream (whipped cream spray can) from Tesco. I use it all the time as I can't...

I agree with Hannata^ This is this most stressful time of year and you're doing so well coming off the ciggies and ADs! Fair play to ya! If you're finding it all too much, why not maintain for a while until you've been able to deal with your hubby's redundancy, (which I have to say is a CRAPPY...

I'm SOOO excited about getting a new pack, but my C hasn't said anything about replacing my stickers. I'm 2.5lbs away from my 4.5 St award, so it's A LOT of stickers to replace. Bummed about all my weigh-ins too, BUT still excited for the new pack! And it's orange! Sent from my iPhone using...

WOW what a change! Such a perfect Christmas pressie! Congrats to you!!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I getcha now...will have to give it a go with some crackerbreads or krisprolls then! Can't wait, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm trying Success Express for the first time today!! After asking my C loads of q's, reading and re-reading this thread and the leaflet...I'm still a little confused. I really want a boost to get me out of a slow-mo. I seem to be taking 3 steps fwd, 2 back, 2 fwd, 1 back. My Christmas goal WAS...

Wi tonight at 5.30 and I hate coming home starving and have to wait even longer while I cook dinner...so week before last I made a cheesy veggie lasagna which serves 4. I froze the rest separately so tonight the OH can just pop 2 servings in and have em piping hot and ready to eat for when I get...

I'm loving this thread!!! I'm over a year going to SW and I can think of so many times I needed to vent something!!!

This looks so yum! Anybody know how it would hold up in a casserole? I might try it in a mac n cheese this week!!!

That is too funny!!! Wow...does that peppermint tea really work? Me and my two sis-in-law's all have the same problem every WI Wednesday. I can usually help it by eating a half of a melon for breakfast on Tues, and the other half for Wed breakfast. But this doesn't always work. I'm more of a...

I'm SOOO craving rhubarb right now and especially after reading all of this! Think I'm gonna make a speedy Saturday night run to the store for some superspeed rhubarb! :help2:I've never cooked it before...Does anyone have any tips (instructions) for how to stew it with sweetner, so that it's...

Sounds good...I might just do that. I'm obsessive and I already write everything down anyways!

I tired to put it in as a free food allowance, but when I click on "pasta/noodles" it only gives options for egg noodles, savoury noodles or pasta. This is where I went into panic-stations thinking for weeks and weeks I've been eating these b/c I thought they were free! So you think these are...

Did you ever find out about your rice noodles? I have the same question about plain rice noodles, except mine are dried. I've looked all over this site, googled like mad and I've even done the syns calc on the SW website but I'm thoroughly confused! It came up with 18 syns/serving! But so many...
