Well done!! :D Thats a really good lose. you'll have to give us some tips! xx

Thankyou for posting this. It's nice to hear that i'm not the only one who has bad days. Had a bad weekend and am trying to get back on plan. Tried yesterday but failed miserabley. Ok today...so far. I find it hard when i'm at home and theres tempting things everywhere. My brother lives on...

Yes mine do. i've got 2 cats so its even worse. Mollie like jam on toast and Rosie will eat anything! xx

Red/Green or EE? A question for members who have been on SW for a while. Do you find the Red/Green plan easier or the new Extra Easy? I used to go to group when we just had the Red and green plans. I've read alot about EE and wondering whether to go back to group to find out more about it...

Brilliant thread. Always helpful to know whats new on the market thats SW friendly. Do the sausages taste like normal pork sausages or more like quorn sausages? x

I use my Wii for exercise and weigh in. I've got the biggest loser disc and its fantastic! some really good workouts on there and i find i'm dripping with sweat when i come off. Sometimes i do struggle not going to group but i just didn't have the money or time to carry on going. i may start...

Yay. Thx for that. Will make the tomorrow so i can take them to work on thursday. Yum! xx

Thats the one! Thankyou so much. Brought all the ingredients but couldn't remember how to make them. Is it 0.5 syns for the jelly? do i need to add anything for the gelatine? x

Yeah i think you can. I lost a stone before my holiday without going to group. I find this site really helpful as everyone is so supportive and there are some great recipes so you dont get bored eating the same thing. Gained 1/2 a stone in cuba so am now back on plan to get that 1/2 stone and...

Hey. I am sure i've seen a jelly recipe using gelatine to make it set harder but cant find it on the site. Does anyone know the recipe i'm talking about?? x

Thankyou so much for the recipes. They look great. Can't wait to try them!! xx

Higher than i thought. Thanks.

Hi. Picked up a pack of Weightwatchers Sun Dried Tomato & Italian Herb Savoury Biscuits. Can anyone tell me the syn value of these before i start tucking in? Thanks Sian

I used to go to group and then didn't have as much money so i stopped going and did it on my own. Since doing it on my own i have lost 1 stone 1lb. I think you just need to be diciplined and stick to it. I find a food plan is really helpful and stops me from raiding the fridge. Its hard when...

Prawn pate - serves 4 - free on original: 283g peeled prawns 227g very low fat cottage cheese Salt & pepper Pop everthing in a blend and mix. Really yummy. Make sure you drain off the prawns otherwise its too runny. Salmon pate - serves 4 - free on original: 198g canned salmon, skinless &...

Hey. Great thread. I'm off to Cuba in 11 Weeks. Have brought the bikinis but still not feeling confident in them. The aim is to tone up and lie on the beach feeling good about myself - for the 1st time! Good luck everyone!! x

Ooohhh rice balls. They sound really good. Don't think i've got time to do them for work but will definately try them another day. Think i might try mixing it with a cup a soup with a nice wholemeal roll. Will make sure i keep the rice refridgerated and reheat it properly!! Thanks for the...

I have some leftover rice from tonights tea and thought that i could do something with it for my lunch tomorrow. Just not sure what. Anyone got any ideas? :confused:

Hi. Yes have access to all those. Not a morning person so its usually just cereal before work. Thats ok. Its once i get to work that is the problem.

Quick and easy snacks / Lunch ideas Hi. I have recently started a new job and am struggling with what things i can take to work that are quick and easy that will keep me on the right track. I have been struggling for the past couple of weeks so want to keep syns down so i can get a good lose...

Yay. Thanks. x

Hey. Thanks for all your help. Whats the syn values for a normal stock cube? xx

I'm back after nearly a month off plan over xmas. Somehow i still managed to loose 1lb. Don't ask me how as i eat everything in sight! 1st week back on plan seems to be going well so far. Will find out when i weigh in on Wednesday. Fingers crossed....15 weeks till the holiday! x

I have found a really nice recipe for a roast pepper soup and would like to give it a go. Something to keep warm at this time of year. There is a problem though. The recipe includes vecon. I have heard of this through SW before but don't know where to find it. Don't want to ask in the...

Hey. Great idea to find out what makes people join SW. Mine was a couple of photos. 1 was in fancy dress for my cousins birthday and the other was with another cousin and her little girl. Supposed to be a lovely photo but i see it and think how fat i look. Have lost over a stone since then...

Have put down the salmon but cant have the rice as doing it on Red plan. Its easier to do seperate as my brother doesn't eat the same things as the rest of us. My dad would probably turn his nose up too. He's beond help! lol. xx

No unfortunately it doesn't :(

Have been reading everyones post about a fishy week giving your weight loss a boost so have decided to give it a go. Am doing a food plan for the week. Would be grateful for any recipes/ideas of what i can make. Since i'm the only 1 in the family doing SW i make seperate meals so would like...

Haha. Yes there is. So looking forward to tomorrow. Just not sure how many syns each 1 is.

A Galaxy ripple after weigh -in. Me and a freind weigh-in using her WII. As long as we haven't gained, we sit and have a coffee and a ripple. During the week i use my Heb for an alpen light choc/fudge bar. Usually takes the craving away.

A job would be great. Then i can do all the things i want. Westlife sat in my living room would be lovely but cant see that happening. Have 2nd row tix to see them in March. Am happy with that. xx

Am going to Make Sian jealous - I've met Ronan Keating! hehe. He was so lovely. My crush was (and still is) Stephen Gately. RIP. x

:) Thanks Cat. They were on offer in Asda today so thought i would try a different flavour but then wasn't sure if they counted as my HEb. :)

I'm not going to group either. Me and a friend are doing it together.

Thanks to whoever suggested putting choc/fudge flavour Alpen lights in the microwave (cant seem to find who it was). So yummy. I felt really naughty. Are the apple and saltana flavour a HE aswell?

Welcome to minimins! I've only been on here for a few weeks but have found it really useful. There are loads of really yummy ideas and everyone is really nice and helpful. Anything your not sure of, just ask. There is always someone who knows the answer. Good luck with your weight loss. Sian. x

Thanks Val. Will give it a go. x

This cake sounds really good. Am going to give it a go tomorrow. Is it 12 syns including the jam filling? What about with a quark filling? What other fillings have people tried? x

Decided to have three days off - xmas eve, xmas day & boxing day. Too many nice things in the house not too. Will enjoy it and then get right back on plan the day after.

Thanks Stacey. Had just come across that 1. lol. Will be tucking in to my lollies tomorrow night. Might have 1 today too. Thankyou so much for your help. Sian. x

Thanks for all the ideas. Have brought some lollies but they weren't the ones i wanted. I have a bag of the chupa chups 'best of' lollies. Flavours:- apple, cola, strawberry, strawberry & cream. They are normal size rather than the mini ones i wanted. Does anyone know the syn values for these...

Even better. Thankyou Stacey. x

Have just had a look online to check my local asda stocks these and they don't seem to. :mad: They have a bag of mini chupa chup lollies. How many syns are these?

Thank you silly sausage. Lollies are perfect. A little bit naughty but not blowing the diet. Have a few spare syns so mite have a couple. hehe.

Yeah did think about grapes. Just wondered if there was anything low syn that i could take thats not so boring. lol. x

Am off to the cinema on Friday and would normally hit the pick n mix but don't want to go over my syns. Any ideas on things i could take to snack on? :confused:

Thought the haribo would be more than that. Mum brought a tub for my brother. I will be tucking in aswell now. Thanks Sarah-Jayne! x

What hotel did you stay in? am so excited. don't want to wait 6 months! lol. x

Hi Ellebear Think its Holquin? something like that anyway.

Hi Sian - its weird saying that! well done on your weight loss too. x

I have done SW in the past but stopped and put it back on. I am now back. i'm two weeks in and have lost 6lb. My motivation is a holiday to Cuba next april. I have brought 2 bikini's and would love to be able to wear them and feel comfortable. fingers crossed. I am also doing the diet with a...

Am not really sure. It says that the mixture will reduce as it boils but for it to become toffee it reduces to nothing. I used small apples so don't think they were the problem.

I find i want cooked comforting foods rather than salads. If you plan ahead then you can make some really nice meals. As long as your keeping to plan then you can eat as much as you feel like. But if you feel like you shouldn't, then maybe choose foods that are going to fill you up more. My fave...

Hi Good luck with your first week! As long as you sin the mugshots properly then i don't think it matters how many you have.

I was so excited to see a recipe in the latest SW mag for toffee apples that are only 2.5 syns each. I tried to make them today. The recipe says makes 8 - I got 2!!! :confused: And working out the syn value i worked out that it would have been 10 syns per apple. :cry:

Hey. Can call me Sian or Cuba - don't mind. Well done everyone on their loses and thanks for the support. I have sone SW in the past but gave up and put back on. With all your support this time i am going to loose and keep it off! x

Thanks. I saw the recipe and wondered what it would be like. Will give it a go myself. Am also going to make some toffee apples. Can't belive there only 2.5 syns!

Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and thought i'd say hi. Weighed in today. lost 6lb in two weeks:) As my name suggests, i'm off to cuba next year and want a bikini body to go with. Hope everyone's doing really well and i would be very grateful for any great tips you can give me. Sian
