Sounds like you have the perfect attitude so I am sure you'll be fine, best of luck with it! Weddings are huge pressure, we grow up with it ingrained in our heads that we will be a princess on our wedding day, the belle of the ball (thanks Disney!), not to mention everyone saying 'ooo I can't...

Hi everyone... after my first week of doing it at home I lost 2lbs so am happy with that - and that included fish and chips by the sea on Sunday too! I feel I can do it 'at home' now so it is a welcome boost. Hello to everyone who has just joined. @angienofrills - It's wonderful you have a goal...

I'm a morning weigher and after being back on SW a week I can report back -2lbs loss which is great, even with fish and chips by the sea on Sunday! So good luck everyone that has weighing to come today!

Hi all, Could anyone kindly provide a syn value for these sausages? I can find all the other Tesco options but these? Tesco Finest Reduced Fat Outdoor Bred Sausages 400G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries Finest Reduced Fat Outdoor Bred... Thanks in advance :)

Ah thanks so much, is that for the whole bag? Thanks!

Apologies if it has been mentioned anywhere else, but I can't find anything on Seeds of Change microwavable products. I love their Quinoa packets and don't expect they are syn free like standard quinoa, does anyone know the values? I particularly like the Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic which...

Ah thank you. I've put 2 out of the three back so better do it now than then! :)

Hi all, I am back on here after a four year absence. I lost three stone with SW then, but it has slowly been creeping back on in the last year, and now post-wedding and honeymoon, it's time to get it back off again. I don't have a group I can easily get to anymore, and online seems expensive, so...

You are very very welcome! :)

Ahh I was wondering why rice wasn't a hexa... so it's a fibre thing? Not even brown seems odd... but thanks :)

Hey Margarino, First thing, BREEEEEEEATHE.... :) Hope you feel better for getting it all down, it's a good way to process it all! Second thing, I see a woman who already has three ticks on her goals, you are doing brilliantly, don't lose sight of that :) I fear that you are viewing your...

Hi Kirsty, Welcome and congrats on your weight loss so far! Bit worried that you say your getting frightened of putting anything in your mouth now - please don't think like that, you are a human being and no matter how big we get we HAVE to eat/intake nutrients to keep ourselves well. I would...

Hey Jez, I'm not sure about being stubborn, I think the fact that you don't know what dress you want is a bonus, you can go into the shops and try on everything! Let that natural moment come when you have on 'the one' rather than putting on a style you think you love and maybe being...

...I just realised I have been reading my scales wrong, reading kgs as lbs, which means I have actually lost more than I thought I had! I've hit the half a stone mark - yay!! :D

Just remember most chefs cook steak with butter! You could always ask them not to I guess...

You stars, thanks! Not so bad then, which is great because it's yum ;)

Aw Melarnz Maggie Sottero dresses are gorgeous!! I would really recommend just going in and trying one of each style, it will save you time in the long run!

We have the same problem here, it's insane, at least three a day and regularly more than one of each. Our local councillor was doing the rounds the other day so I complained!

I think I would syn for things like the use of oil in all of these just to be safe. And I would be very surprised if they used lean mince in the spag bol - catering mince is probably full of all the fatty bits as it would be cheaper...

Hello lovelies, I have some Jamie Oliver Moroccan Herb Crust left to use up from pre-SW, can anyone help with the syn value? 1/6 of 135g pot = Energy - 77kcal Fat - 1.8g, of which saturates 0.2g Hoping it's not too bad as it's yummy on pork and lamb! Let me know if you need any other...

Hilarious, thanks for sharing. The ketchup squirt is indeed genius hehe

Summer evening how lovely! Your absolute best friend will be make up blotting paper! Mac's are really good but most make up brands do them. They won't take your make up off, just soak up the sweat so you don't have a shiny face! Get a bridesmaid to keep them in their bag for you and they can...

Oh, and being in Spain you have Pronovias, Barcelona based wedding dress designers who make STUNNING dresses! As far as I know they go up to an American Size 28..but remember when trying on that most wedding dress sizes come up small so try one bigger than what you wear everyday...

It really depends on what you may go for... Are you happy to buy and off the peg dress? Or do you want something designer that might not be so common? Designer bridal shops will usually only have one sample in and your dress will have to be made which usually takes at least six months, then...

Hello lovely B2Bs! I'm not getting married (sadly he says he will but hasn't asked yet!) but I do work in the wedding industry. I won't say in what capacity as I don't want to break any rules or make it sound like I am advertising, but if anyone has any questions or fears about their wedding...

Oh I am so sorry to hear about Sophie, Lynn, it must be heartbreaking. Sending you positive thoughts and give her an extra cuddle from me. My partner and I don't intend to have children, neither of us feel the need or want; Lucius is our little boy, the love we have for him is as strong as it...

You see this is why I joined this site. I just went into the cupboard and thought, 'oh I need to use those Amoy sauces up, I wonder how many syns?' I type "how many syns amoy stir fry sauces" into Google, and top of the page comes up a MiniMins post. Superb! :clap: Can you tell me what the Hoi...

Italian Baked Aubergines - 5syns Coming from an Italian family I've been trying to adapt some home classics and this works great for vegetarians (if you eat cheese - or for me it's a Green staple.) Melanzanne Parmigiana (Baked Aubergines) I make a dish for two at dinner plus it leaves a...

Yes I saw that one too, my feline love goes right up to the big cats, so she was so lucky there! Can you believe the whole de-clawing thing??:eek:

Thanks everyone! I think focussing on the plan and losing weight is actually helping me focus rather than just getting depressed over yet another application form. Miss_Slater have you found the Winter Warmer Recipe thread yet? It's full of yummy sounding food, I made the syn free Cheese and...

Hello ladies, just found this thread which is great as I too am a big cat lover. I too can't quite understand why anyone would 'hate' a cat and feel they can be very misunderstood with their aloof stereotype. I am 'owned' by a beautiful Maine Coon who along with my partner is my world. Think he...

Made it last night and it was delicious! When making it I thought it would be too small a portion for my partner but once it came out of the oven there was plenty, and he loved it! Really helps to find recipes like this that he will eat too. Thanks for sharing :D

Ok thanks Valerie, am going to try this tonight, excited!

What a great feeling, well done! :happy096:

Thanks very much! I'm feeling positive reading everyone's successes. This is going to give me focus when the job hunt is getting me down...

Hi Cat I'm new too and on SW, very similar to you by the sounds of it, good luck! :)

Wow you have achieved some amazing goals already! I joined today too, here's to our future successes! :)

As a big cake fan this sounds great! What size tins did everyone use? So we are saying the whole cake is 12 syns so if I ate a quarter wedge that would be 3!!! (minus fillings obv) Thanks!

Oh I adore cheese and onion pasties and thought I would have to ban hot cheese forever! Will definitely be trying this! :D

Hi everyone Nice to meet you all, I decided to join as there seems to be so many friendly folks on here... I have always been a curvier girl and happy, but I was made redundant in August and am struggling to find a job, so possibly inevitably I have put on weight in the last couple of months...
