Sorry- I didn't say please or thank u??

Hello! I remember reading this thread but can't find it now- can anyone bump it or let me know how to find it? I did a search on 'fishy week slimming world' but it came up with 835 threads to search through!

Anyone know syn values of these? R they same as eatsmart just with a new name? Thanks x

The recipe Geordie lass has posted could be adapted with meat instead of the lentils. You could use extra lean mince beef or like she suggests- get some lamb minced by a butcher. I used to cobble something together similar, using yoghurt and quark with seasoning to make the cheesy sauce.

As of last night- SW KFC !!! With sweet potato wedges and red coleslaw. So so nice. And enough for leftovers at lunch. Om nom nom

Finally got round to making this tonight and it was sooooo good! Had it with sweet potato wedges and homemade red coleslaw (red onion, red cabbage and carrot mixed with extra low fat mayo) yum yum. And enough left for lunch tomoro.

I stuff them with quark, cooked spinach and beaten egg mixed together. (seasoning it with S&P and sometimes nutmeg) Then pour over a tomato sauce (or just passata or chopped toms straight from packet if pushed for time) and sprinkle HEA of cheese on top. Put in oven for half an hour or so til...

Curly wurlys are quite low syn. Gonna get me some this week as coz they're long and quite chewy- I can make them last!

Woohoo. I lost 2lb tonight. Chuffed to bits. Wk 1 -4.5 Wk 2 -3 Wk 3. -2

Just wanted to say well done on starting the plan! I wrote a similar post yesterday and had no replies-didn't want u to b in the same boat, thinking there's no one here reading ur post! Philadelphia light is my new favourite thing- 70g for HE A and I use it to make tomato sauces creamy, or use...

Think my last post in this forum was around 18 months ago. Since then I have had a lovely little girl and put on the 2 stone I lost on SW last year. I'm now back at class and lost 7.5 lbs in 2 weeks. (Yey!!!) Got stones to lose before I am anywhere near target but am determined to lose my...

Anyone know how many syns in the Moroccan chicken and cous cous salad from costa coffee? Thanks!

Beef chilli poured on top with grated cheese. Or baked beans with grated cheese? Or - what we r having tonight- mixed grill. Gammon steak, beef steak and quorn sausages with mushrooms, onions, tomato and peas. Yummmmmmm

P.s. I'll b doing extra easy if that makes a difference x

Can anyone tell me if u get more syns or healthy extras (and whether a's or b's) when breastfeeding? I was a member pre-pregnancy and now Abigail is 4 weeks old I want to start shifting this weight! Always said reason for doing SW was so I would b able to carry on while pregnant-but I gave up...

Thank u- sounds exactly same as pre-pregnancy. Just thought we mite get more a's or b's.... Will continue as normal then, until I go back to class in a few weeks. I'm due December 23rd- hopefully an amazing Xmas present!

Hello. Could someone tell me if u get more healthy extras or syns when ur pregnant? I'm going back to class after my hols in 3 weeks time but want to follow program myself til then. I lost 2 stone on SW, found out I was pregnant in April, and have put on over half a stone since then! Am using...

Made this and it definitely satisfies my sweet tooth. Good to have something different to fruit salad, mullerlights and alpen light bars. I used raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Definitely up for trying a lemon one next time, with lemon curd. Or choc one with options. Yummo!

Tried ' magic porridge' for the first time this morning and LOVED IT. I used a raspberry & cranberry mullerlight, 28g oats then left it overnight. Added half a punnet of blueberries this morning and scoffed it down! Need to remember to have my scan bran now tho- as I'm using oats as healthy extra.

Me me me! I had a miscarriage a couple of years ago, and they found an ovarian cyst. Had to wait a year to get that removed and they found endometriosis on my bowel which resulted in 2nd operation. Weighed in at 17 stone pre-op, and since my op have joined sw and lost 2 stone. Consultant has...

2 x Chocolate weetabix with banana and s/s milk. 2 syns if using a HE A & HE B. so yummy. And extremely filling! Some people heat up milk but I had mine cold.

This happened to me last nite. Had weigh in on mon and was 15 st 2lb. Was well chuffed as lost 3lbs! Weighed myself last nite after getting a cold and drinking lots of water due to feeling dehydrated- and weighed in at 15 st 7lb!! Only 4 days after weigh in! I even weighed myself twice just to...

I had an NSV on Monday. Went for 6 month post operation check up at hospital. Got weighed and am 2 stone lighter than i was pre- op! And even better than that- he told me I only need to lose another 0.3% off my bmi to be able to have fertility investigations, which they'll start in 6 months. If...

Smoked pork loin, mashed swede and carrot, sw roast spuds and some greens. Gravy and apple sauce to b syned.

I made salmon pate from the Italian sw book and it's delicious. Basically cooked salmon mixed or blended with quark and xl Mayo, bit of lemon juice and parsley. It's delicious and so simple. I have it with krisprolls and chopped up raw veg, like carrots, pepper, cucumber etc.

I made salmon recipe from Italian sw recipe book. It uses fresh salmon, cooked with garlic, chilli and bay leaf, mixed with quark and xl Mayo, with a squeeze of lemon and shake of parsley. Mix or blend to desired consistency. It's delicious and only thing to syn is mayo- about 0.5 syns for...

Roast gammon with roasted root veg, mashed potato, cabbage, and lots of gravy. Yummy x

Today- I found some pairs of jeans, squirrelled in the back of the cupboard, that I had bought in the sale but hadn't fit me. I tried them on and they fit!!!!! The receipt was dated oct 2009, so I am the thinnest I have been since then. It's really cheered me up. I haven't worn jeans for over a...

Lamb griddled with garlic and rosemary, with Ainsley harriot morrocan cous cous and a pepper, tomato and onion sauce. With a blob of fat free Greek yoghurt. It was delicious and only a couple of syns!!!!! Definitely doing that again.

Sushi is good....

2 bacon, 3 eggs, baked beans, 2 ww whml bread, half a laughing cow light, brown sauce. Yummy.

Eggs have a tendency to constipate some people tho, so best to limit them if u want good losses.

Mushy pea curry, sw chips, syn free onion bhajis and some mango chutney. All free apart from chutney. Nom nom nom x

I eat this with sw chips/wedges and either rice or Ainsley harriot cous cous. Massive plateful. Also have eaten with the onion bhajis-recipe also on minimins. They r also surprisingly delicious.

Congrats on losing 5 stone! I hope I can do as well as u. 2011 is going to b a fab year. I can feel it.

My good week paid off- I lost 3 lb. If I keep that up (or anything like it) I will b very happy with myself. Still focused and very determined. Got my goal in sight and am nearly 10% nearer than this time last week. Whoop whoop x

Having gammon too, with sw chips and mushy peas. Maybe a frylighted egg too. Plus a few syns worth of ketchup. Think i cud use all my weekly syns on table sauces.

I got the 4 in 1 precision body scale. Also weightwatchers. Currently 14.99 at Argos. Extremely accurate. Within half a pound of my class ones-even on carpet. Used to have an expensive glass set (salter I think) but they used to stop working all the time. So frustrating.

Beef chilli with sweet potato wedges. Extra easy day today.

Asda Pork meatballs with pasta. Ate before working out syns. whoops. 10 syns. Glad I didn't have many other syns today! They were tasty though.

Hello! I'd like to join in please. Want to lose 35lbs in next few months.....so nearly qualify for 3 stone in 6 months!

Well, I've been good this week so far. Lots of soup been eaten/drunk. No syn leek and potato is delicious. Gonna make another batch tonite. Think soup is very good for the 'constitution'-certainly helps the digestive system get moving. TMI? Yes probably. Meatballs tonite, with tomato sauce...

Just got 2 jacket spuds in the oven. Thinking baked beans with a bit of cheese. Or maybe tuna and cottage cheese..... Hmmmmmmm. I have 20 mins or so to mull over my choices.

Beef medallions, sw chips, rocket salad. Mite make some kind of sw friendly steak sauce too.... Will trawl recipes...... Oooohhhhh saucy steak from calendar looks lush. Peperry sauce sounds perfect x

Right- I have been absent from here for a while due to celebrating Xmas for nearly a month. Now new year is here, I have managed to only gain 1 and half pounds (whoopee!) and am ready to get seriously back on track. So I would like to shout out to minimins world- My new years resolution is to...

Put on 1 and a half. Not bad for 2 weeks AWOL! Back on track today x

Pasta with chicken, smoked ham, onions, pepper, mushroom, Passata, herbs, garlic, stirring in some philadelphia at end to make it creamy. Plus some grated cheese on top for extra cheesiness x

Sounds like we all have same idea- Soup-tastic! I have made a big batch of syn free and very thick, leek and potato soup. Is super yum. Back on wagon today. Weigh in, in a couple of hours. Eeeek x

Smoked pork loin, mash and carrots. Yummy. And tons of pork left to make 'ham and eggs' in the morning.

I lost 1 lb. Chuffed as i had another booze filled week. But made up for it by speed fooding it up on my good days.

Chicken and bacon pasta bake. Made with Passata, Philadelphia extra light, onions, garlic and a bit of cheese on top. Yum

Mushy pea curry, rice and sw chips. Deeeeelicious

I fell off the wagon too!!! Run up to Xmas has meant loads of lunches, nites out, Xmas shopping trips, family get togethers- and it has been hard to keep sw up. I have kept going to class and luckily - because although I've eaten and drunk some very syn unfriendly stuff, I have tried to stick to...

Half off this week. Not bad considering the week I've had. Must have the resolve of a saint this week tho- lots of Xmas parties and get togethers to eat and drink my way through. Eeeek. Well done everyone and good luck for next week xxxx

I had gammon too!!!! With sw chips, mushy peas and 2 eggs. Think I used whole days syn allowance on tommy ketchup. Yummo x

I made this and have had it for last 2 lunches. Is surprisingly filling and the baked beans really made it for me! They make it nice and sweet and thick when blended. Helped me maintain this week, when I was expecting a gain. Now got enough left for next couple if days and hopefully will mean a...

Stayed same this week. Cinnamon buns and water retention to blame. Aiming for 2 off next week. C'mon!

Add a bit of worcester sauce or spices to mix too for flavour.

Going to try and make meatloaf- nigella lawsons recipe minus duck fat. It's just raw mince (pork or beef or combination of both), fried onions, breadcrumbs mixed together. Then lay half mixture on roasting tray, make a well for 2 or 3 soft boiled eggs, mould other half of mince on top so eggs...

Braised beef, onions, swede, carrot, broccoli and peas. All in a lovely thick gravy. Used a couple of syns to add some bisto to thicken it up a bit.

I had a day like that yesterday! Went to Xmas fair and ate everything in site- biscuits, sweets, mulled wine, cinnamon buns, Scandinavian platter- the works! Today I am trying to repair the damage pre weigh in tomorrow. Had pineapple for breakfast and Superspeed soup for lunch. Planning on beef...

Re: whats for lunch tomorrow??.. I had Superspeed soup too. First time I've made it. Very nice.

Yes think a tbsp of curry paste is about 4 syns and that was split across 2 or 3 portions so minimal syn-age!!!!

Good tip! Will give that a try next time. Thank u x

2 weetabix, banana and semi skimmed milk. That's all my healthy extras gone for the day already! But with extra easy, I find that doesn't really bother me! Mushy pea curry leftovers for lunch then something bacon and egg based for tea I think xxx

Made mushy pea curry last nite- I am converted- it was delicious. Recipe was on recipe thread. Thought it sounded rank but it is just lovely, and so simple. Does give u a bit of trouser trumpeting though!!!!!

I made this based on this thread, and I loved it!!!! Was so repulsed by idea when I first read about it- thought it seemed so wrong- but it's sooooo right! Goes lovely and thick. I used 1tbsp of Pataks curry paste, half an onion, tin of mushy peas, half tin baked beans, half carton Passata, a...

Once this snow clears- will get myself down to docs. They have a bp machine in reception area of surgery. Think once I have lost a stone or so, I will start to fit into my thin(well-thinner!) clothes.

Hey up ducks. We had pasta with tomato sauce, onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs, garlic and chunks of leftover smoked pork. Stirred in quark at last minute and served with HE of cheddar sprinkled on top. Completely free on extra easy. Love it x

As much as possible! Although trying to conceive and getting to target r both my focuses at the moment. As we can continue sw through pregnancy, I am hoping to still follow the plan if/when I get preg.

Cous cous coated haddock with sw chips and mushy peas. Baked the fish a bit too long though so was a bit dry. Luckily a few squirts of tommy k sorted it out!!!!!

I think I will start putting recipes and stuff on here- I had a different type of pasta tonite- called orzo. It's shaped like rice but takes loads less time to cook. Made a mushroom and bacon risotto with onions and peas, but with orzo not rice. Was delicious- and so much quicker than normal...

Hello all Just wanted to start my journey here on minimins. If I am telling u all about it, then I'm more likely to b honest and stick to the plan! I am 31 and broody as heck. Had a few setbacks and operations that have so far foiled my pregnancy chances, but being overweight by 4-5 stone will...
