Thank you. I am off at the weekends but am usually busy doing things i've not had time to do through the week lol My mam has done slimming world in the past so she is familiar with most things. I think i'll have a look at the links on saturday and write a plan. Trying my hardest to be...

Hello, I have yo yo'd between diets for a few years. Successfully lost 2.5stone on weight watchers gradually gained 3 back over the past 2 years. Thinking of having another go at slimming world, at the moment I feel too hungry to stick to 26pp per day on weight watchers but i know i can eat...

You could buy some of the books online, along with this site and google ypu can pretty much find syn values for anything. I dont find the website or app very good to be honest, i much prefered weight watchers website i wish it was similar. I've been going to group a couple of weeks just to get...

I've decided to not go back at all and do it from home. I'm trying to save as much money as possible so from my list of monthly out goings slimming world along with the gym are out. Gutted about the gym but i dont go often enough to pay £45 a month. Although i am tempted just to freeze my...

I have a really good week then gets to the weekend and i gain 3lb! I'm going to try my best this weekend, if when i get weighed on tuesday i have not lost at least 2lb then i am going to leave the group. I'm not paying £5 to lose such small amounts i can do that from home for free! Where has...

1.5lb off for my this week (last week was sts), the weekends are killing me!! 4lb in total x

Thanks for the update. I wonder if they change any thing, they used to be my fav quick meal x

I'm struggling with this at the min. Dont really like salad or veg but i'm forcing myself to eat it. Even if i was full off the veg i'd still make room for potatoes and meat... Maybe thats my problem lol x

It's my first ever day that i've not 'cheated' didnt go to weigh in so hoping for a bigger loss next week x

I've finally had a full day on track! So proud of myself. Snacked on seafood sticks, tomatoes and ryvita and had a hifi bar this evening as part of my healthy extra b choice. Ending the day on 6 syns - hope i can keep this up x

Today i had 1 weetabix for healthy b so will have 1 hifi bar tonight as a 'treat' I've not lost anything this week so not going to go to class tonight. Going to try and use syns on things like sauces and no crisps or chocolate! X

I'm feeling motivated to have a no choc/crisp challenge. I'm going to try one week at a time but would love to go a whole month. I've brought seafood sticks and cherry tomatoes to work to snack on and will have a hifi bar as my healthy extra so i'll sort of be having chocolate then x

The 30 day shred is great because you dont need alot of room, i manage to do it in a tiny space by the side of my bed. Not sure if that will work for higher levels as i'm only on the first one x

I have hand weights for 30 day shred and a kettlebell, you use tube for free workouts x

My weigh in is tomorrow - i was down 3lb by my scales the other day but after the weekend i'm back up! I might try a no crisp/chocolate challenge. I've been searching for things i can microwave quickly that is free and i'm very surprised at some of the things i've found. Hopefully this will...

I bought a pack of single time outs there was 8 in the pack 'i'll just have one for a treat' i said 4 timeouts later... Oops

I also hate the app. Having come from weight watchers SW really could do with a better app they ww one is really good. I dont even like the food diary online, i wish it had a section for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I use my fitness pal and keep everything on paper aswell, also use *********...

It was good. I didnt think i was going to like it as i dont really like beef mince (will use pork next time) but once i mixed everything together i really enjoyed it. Obvisouly wasnt anything like a big mac but was very nice, i loved the sauce x

I got my book yesterday. Trying the burger in a bowl tonight, i've already made the sauce - i'm impressed! I used light mayo instead of extra light but still only worked out at 2 syns per serving. Cant wait to get the gym out the way so i can have my tea :) x

I lost 1lb at weigh in yesterday, happy with that. Although i really think i'm pushing my luck as i did not deserve to lose it! Hoping for a 100% week this week. Doing lots of exercise as well :) x

I wish i had space for something like that. I had a powerplate a few years ago and stood on it while eating a bag of crisps haha. I know i can do it, i lost 2.5stone on weight watchers and have gradually put it back on need to get back into a routine. I used to go to the gym on a morning then...

I had 100 syns worth of treats they lasted about 2days :/

Hi, Can anyone tell me how much a box of the hifi bars cost in group? I want some of the rocky road ones. Many thanks :)

I had the treat box, loads of funssize choc bars left them in my room as my brother would of ate them all and ate them all myself cant be trusted lol x

Can anyone tell me the ingredients for the burger sauce for the burger in a bowl. I've heard it's really nice and i'm desperate to try the burger in a bowl but dont pick my book up till tomorrows class and what to have everything in for tea. I know you cant post the full recipe but just want to...

This is so me lol. On paper i should be a size 8, i know what to do, i plan what to eat then come home and eat whatever i can. I'm nit an emotional eater i just like to eat and do so just for the sake of it. Only been at this 2 weeks and i've not managed one day without going over syns and...

I'm going to make the katsu chicken curry from the sw website. I'm having a baked potato for lunch which would be a b choice, 2nd b choice would be breadcrumbs for the katsu chicken. Could try cauliflower rice but i've never tried it before and dont really no how to make it x

I'm thinking of trying red days. My plan for tomorrow was almost a red day just need to change rice with my tea for something else? I've just downloaded a countdown app and realised my target date i set my self in jan is in 45 days obviously not going to happen!! X

No problem, i usually buy what ever is on offer lol x

I use either. I dont think it makes much difference to be honest if we dont have any sauce i'll happy use marinade to dip my chips in :) x

Is it just batchelors ones that are free?

I've just realised i have this problem too. I make a massive salad for work dont like it then come home and raid the cupboards when i get home. I've decided to have a small bowl of vegetable soup with my meal. I love chicken mixed into beef savoury rice so it is a free meal but no superfree...

I know where i'm going wrong. I'm trying to eat salads which i dont really like unless it is covered in salad cream (full fat only) or from subway with loads of southwest sauce. Or just having soup for dinner then i'm starving by tea time. My plan from today is to have vegetable soup as my...

Maybe the recipe changed, it wasnt as cheesey as before either

I've ordered it to pick up next week. I made a lovely fakeaway on friday night. Egg fried rice made in the actifry it tasted exactly like a takeaway, sw chips and chicken curry made with mayflower curry sauce. Even my boyfriend liked it, think takeaways are another one of those habits i need to...

Welcome! I'm hoping to have a few syn free or very low syn days to make up for my binge lol. My goal for this week is no takeaway, will have a fakeaway instead for 1 week x

The last few i've had have been. I still ate them to be fair haha but not pleasant. They dont seem as cheesy as they once were either x

I've noticed they are sandy - this was a while ago and i thought nothing of it (i must admit its odd i dont find sandy food strange lol). Then i read this thread and had one a few days later and again sandy!! Wonder what it is...

I've ate nearly half a loaf of tiger bread from lidl. I wish my mam wouldnt buy stuff like this she moans shes overweight then buys loads of things we shouldnt it that is apparantly for my brother. The joys of still being at home lol if i had it my way i'd plan a weeks worth of meals, get what...

I've just fell off again! Came in from work starving, my mam had bought loads of food i now i shouldnt eat and i have stuffed my face :( i cant help myself!!

Thanks. Makes me think if only i had followed the plan properly so feeling determined this week. Going to try and have syn free days so that i can still have a small amount of chocolate when i get home from work. X

I lost 1.5lb which isnt great for first week but considering i've not really followed the plan i cant complain. Hoping for a 100% week with a bigger loss for next week x

I hate shopping for jeans. If the waist fits then the legs are too tight if the legs fit the waist is too big. My legs are out of proportion for the rest of me lol x

I think it's just a habit to be honest. Sometimes it is because i'm starving and i cant wait for tea lol but mainly just bordem/ habit. I have my tea late most nights as i go to classes at the gym that dont start till 7 if i eat my tea before i feel too full and makes me not want to go. I...

My first offical weigh in is tomorrow. My scales are showing a few pound down but thats got to be the fact i was out drinking last night. I always drop a few pound after i've been drinking however as soon as i eat or drink something it goes back on think it must be because alcohol deydrates you...

Thank you. Asda didnt have much pork mince left so they must have been out of stock x

Can you get any free pork mince? The only 5% fat mince i could find was beef but i dont really like it x

I'll join! I have more than a stone to lose but would love at least a stone of before i go to glastonbury in june, ideally would love more but left it a bit late. I'm trying to increase my exercise. I cancelled appointments with my personal trainer the last 2 weeks but when to see him last...

I had to share tonights fakeaway. Salt and chilli pepper chips, egg fried rice made in the actifry and chicken curry. 6syns for the mayflower curry sauce and used 1tspb oil as healthy extra. Amazing!! Not much superfree so this will def be a n occasional treat x

What a great idea! I'm useless with spread sheets would love this x

I've just made the sweet potato and creamed corn soup - amazing!! I've tried loads of soups in my soup maker and not liked them but this is delicious! I halved the recipe in case i didnt like it so gutted i didnt make more now. My new favourite soup! Thanks for sharing your recipes xx

I made the fried rice it was exactly like the chinese. My rice was a bit hard so dont think i cooked it before i let it cool enough. Bit of a nightmare to clean the actifry the egg was stuck every where but it was very nice x

How do you make chips in the actifry? Mine always turn out horrible x

Hi, I love this thread. Cant wait to try them out! Do you think these recipes would work in a soup maker? The soup maker i have makes 3 good size bowls of soup. X

Thanks. I only really like salad cream, i dont like the light version and usually put loads on. I love anything pickled so its good to know i can count them as superfree, i like to try and keep my lunch syn free so will be trying to keep away from salad cream. Starting today from home then...

Hi, Thinking of trying slimming world again. I'm trying to put a list of superfree veg i like with out salad cream or gravy. My list is very short lol My question is are pickled veg like beetroot, onions and gherkins superfree? As that is all i like without dressing other than tomatoes and...

I'm not sure, it was running for a few weeks after xmas. Keep an eye out for them tho we always buy loads when they are half price they are a nice easy meal

My bf prefers it to an indian takeaway, we stocked up on them when they were on offer for 50p

Thank you. Would i be able to keep paying every 4 weeks rather than setting up a direct debit x

I bought the monthly pass online but i cancelled the direct debit as the would have been taking it out again after 2 weeks. I asked in my meeting yesterday if i could buy my next monthly pass in the meeting and the girl who takes the payments said no. I did notice a card machine and wonder...

I've lost 2.5lb this week :)

Another maggi meal today lol Chicken chasseur, with mushrooms, onions, a steam frozen veg bag with potato wedges. Chicken 3pp Maggi sachet 2pp Wedges 2pp Oil 1pp I'm loving these maggi bags you literally can not go wrong. Put everything in the bag in the oven then your done :)

My local asda has them on offer for 50p. The maggi so tender packs are really good too. Its a sheet of paper that you put round the chicken then put the chicken in a frying pan for the most perfectly cooked chicken i love the garlic one x

Thanks! Will have to try this x

Maggi so juicy chicken balti with pilau rice and asda garlic naan total 20pp my bf said he preferred it to the balti from an indian takeaway :)

The packet works out as 4pp and i use it for 2 people so count 2 each for the spice then weigh the chicken before it goes in and split that between 2. For the curry, rice and a naan its worked out to be 19pp which i dont think its too bad considering its not a reduced fat naan. Your chinese...

Looks nice! I'm trying out the maggi so juicy chicken balti tonight x

Well done. Hoping for a good week this week no takeaways for me! X

'Pizza' for dinner Warburtons thin 3pp 30g light cheese 2pp Tomato puree and garlic 0 Jalapenos 0 Light mayo 2pp Total 7pp

I lost 1lb which was better than i expected :) x

I managed to not eat have a takeaway. I did watch my boyfriend eat a kebab which i am quite proud of i just ate the salad as he always leaves it. As for the lindt chocolate balls the most i can eat is 4 before i feel sick but i'd ate 2 earlier in the day then another 4. They are from xmas and i...

I,ve just ate 6 lindt chocolate balls and i'm dying to get a takeaway x

I'm exactly the same. I eat really well during the day and then come home and eat what ever i can get hold of as soon as i get home. I even try to stick to eating banana and yogurt for breakfast for 1pp then home made 0pp soup and roll for 3pp for lunch. But i'm like a crazy woman soon as i...

I'm not hopeful this week. Dreading wi tomorrow. I just cant get back into it. I have no idea why!! X

Well done thats great x

I am yet to try it. I've heard of it but never got round to trying it let me know how it is x

They were tasty but i would call them a hot dog not a sausage lol I do love a hotdog tho so this could be a healthier option x

We should get this thread going again. I used to love the updates on here x

I liked the sweet chilli flavour not sure if i could taste iron bru it was just the texture it reminded me of a frankfurter. Think i prefer good old unhealthy pork sausages lol

I pointed them the same as 3 regular sausages just to be safe. They werent as nice as i expected to be honest they tasted a bit like a hotdog x

They are sweet chilli and iron bru chicken sausages! Everyone local is raving about them on facebook cant wait to try them. I havent many points for today so should be ok X

Can i change mine? I didnt realise it was only 4 weeks away lol I'm thinking maybe 10lb instead of 14. If i'm including the 2.5lb i lost last week x

Hello, I have decided to try some chicken sausages from my butcher he said they are fat free and 100% chicken breast meat. How would you point them? Would you weight them and point them like chicken breast or add a few points? To be honest i didnt think you could make a sausage from chicken...

I joined last week and really didnt like the venue so changed. It was in a soccer centre and they weighed you in the bar where people were walking in and out watching men play football and the times on the website were wrong so i was there half an hour early. I really wasnt impressed. The...

Just had my first weigh in i lost 2.5lb i am over the moon as i only managed 2 days without eating loads of crap. I've decided to go back to points but will have the occasional filling and healthy day as i really struggled with simple start. I stayed for my first meeting today not sure if i...

I did for 2 days then i found it too restrictive and couldnt think what to have for meals then having a massive binge. So tomorrow is a fresh start with propoints dreading my first wi on sat x

Can i join please? I'm thinking maybe 14lb had a nightmare with simple start this week so going back to points tomorrow. I weight on saturdays x

Today has been a nightmare! I think its quite restrictive without then weeklies and i just couldnt think what to have for tea so ended up with a meal totally off the plan. It would be ok on points though think i'm going to go back to points tomorrow i dont want a gain on my first week. However...

I started this saturday and have enjoyed it so far. However i feel like i'm eating too much bread and carbs. Yesterday i had crumpets with butter for breakfast (1treat), 2 sandwich thins with ham and beetroot and a 0pp vegetable soup for dinner and spag bol for tea. Hopefully this will work...

I hate low fat salad cream. I'd rather have none. I generally do eat lighter options just to save points but think your idea is good. Especially when almost at goal why would we want to continue eating low fat rubbish, getting used to having less is probably good for being able to maintain...

I Agree. I downloaded an app for about £3 and use that. It's great x

Good luck with weight watchers! I find it works better for me even though I hate weighing things all the time. I lost 2 and a half stone on weight watchers and have managed to gain 2 stone back in one yr! After trying shakes and slimming world to get the last stone off. So I'm back to what I...

Has any one tried the maggi so tender? If you havent you really should!! I didnt think it was going to work as it looked really burnt but the chicken was so moist and perfectly cooked. I had the garlic one which worked out 1pp with 100g chicken breast for 3pp. X

Well done!

Thanks. I went straight to asda after work and i cant wait for breakfast in the morning lol x

Chocolate orange shreddies?! How much can you have for healthy extra? I've never even heard of them but off to the shop after work to buy some they sound lovely! X

Last year i got down to 10 stone, well yoyo'd between 9st 10 and 10st 4 and was buying size tens. I am now 11st 8 and am still squeezing myself into a size 10 leather jacket. Cant really move my arms or zip it up but i dont want to buy a new one because i hope to get back down to that weight...

I have a waring soup maker that only makes 1.4litres of soup. Do you think if i half the recipe that should be ok? Everyone mentions how much soup it makes i dont want too much of it! X

Thanks. I also like chunky but i like the veg chopped really small, so if i cant be bothered i can just rough chop and then blend. Think i may have to buy one. Been struggling with lunch ideas that is superfree and i am fed up with salad. This seems perfect. Is it easy to clean? X

Is the soup really smooth when you have it on the smooth setting, i had it when i want smooth and it still has little lumps in. I'm really condsidering buying one i like the look of the waring soup maker but its too expensive. How much is it with the slimming world mag? Amazon have the morphy...

Hello! Can anyone tell me the syns for the funky fish company mediterranean seafood snack pot. It is a 130g pack, free food would be prawns and squid. The ni info is: Per 100g Cals: 161 Protein: 6.7g Carbs: 5.1 Fat: 12g Fibre: 1.2g Thanks x

Thanks for the advice everyone, really appreciate it. I must go shopping tonight i have no fruit in so had just weetabix again this morning. Tonight i'm going to have poached egg on toast but will try banana and a yogurt on friday before the gym. I think its just because i've pigged out for...

Thanks for the replys. I snack on fruit throughout the day if i get hungry, and i drink a lot of water which helps fill me up. I usually have syns as a treat in the evening. I just plan out my main meals in advance. I think i will try having 1 weetabix and half of the wholemeal bread...

I'm just starting slimming world (for about the 100th time) and trying to get back into the gym after 4 weeks off. Today i've been really hungry. I have a class at 7pm but dont like to eat my dinner before i go as it makes me feel really sick. When i got in from work i ate half a breadbun, a...

I need a kick up the backside too! I started properky yesterday, planned my meals and made a box of treats worth 60 syns for the week. I started dieting jan 2012 started at 12st 5 lost 2 and a half stone for a holiday sept 2012 got back from my holiday and never really got back into it i...

I bought some of the fun size chocolate and used a marker to write the syns on the packet. In the box this week i have 2 packets of pickled onion monster munch 5.5 syns each then 5 packets of space raiders which are 3 syns each a flake for 7 syns and milkybar for 7 syns then the rest is made...

I love this idea, i'm starting tomorrow and have made my self a box of treats worth 60 syns. I'd like to keep ten for a chinese one per week which leaves me 5 per day for sauces/dressings. First day tomorrow my treat box and my meals are planned for the week so fingers crossed i can stick with...

Thanks, but i failed! Going to try again on monday as i've now decided i fancy a drink tomorrow. Going to try and cut carbs out from now tho see if that makes it a little bit easier

And i've woke up thinking of food! No more starting tomorrow though i have exactly 6 weeks today till my holiday

Thanks. I think it was a 200g pack but sounds the same x

Hi, Does anyone know how many syns in Asda's ready to eat tomato and basil chicken slices? NI is per 100g 128cal, 1.9g fat, carbs 1.5g, protein 26.3g, fibre nil. From looking at the ingredients i think it will be free or pretty low syns. Can anyone help? I'm not joining group till...

I like to have a bath with scented candles and a lush bath bomb or bubble bar while listening to bob marley lol passes a bit time. Or look online at clothes i'll buy when i'm skinny. Last year i made the mistake of buying loads of holiday clothes in a smaller size in the sale because i had a...

I've finally for the first time in months stuck to the plan and have lost 4lb since sunday! I know i should not weigh until my offical wi which is sunday but i've been extra good and could not help myself! Its def making me want to continue being good :) X

Thanks for the suggestions! I think i'm going to try the cauliflower cheese or roast med veg. Feel free to pass on your ideas, the more the merrier lol. Thanks a lot! X

Hi, I'm planning my first low carb day for tomorrow. After breakfast an lunch i've had 17g carbs. For dinner i'm having smoked fish, can anyone recommed a low carb side dish to go with my fish? I'm having greek salad for lunch so dont really want salad again. Any suggestions? X

Thanks. Going to try low carb and keep the bars and shakes for a few weeks time wen i get used to low carb x

Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it. This week i'm goin to stick with salad for lunch and then maybe fish or chicken and veg for dinner. Going to follow weight watchers this week but be very strict and try to keep carbs low. Think i will buy the dukan book and start next week x

Thanks for all your advice. I'm currently eating a tin of soup. I might try and and cut carbs out for a few weeks then give this another try. So that the first few days are not too bad x

I no i think i'm goin to give up i have a meeting till 6 and i cant concentrate. Theres a tin of heinz tomato soup screaming my name! Would take me to 55g of carbs for the day tho. I'm such a failure :( but i dnt think a diet is worth feeling like this x

I know. I really admire people who have the willpower for it. Here i am on day 2 ready to give up! I know, i love ww but need fast results. I've found a tin of heinz tomato soup in my draw and its literally screaming my name. I just cant stick with anything at the moment x

Thanks. A girl in my office is doing it but she's 8st 11 and she lost 5 pounds in a week. I've avoided sitting with everyone for lunch today because i'm so hungry. Think i might give it a try. Vlcd are expensive! Least i can eat what is in the fridge. If i could loose 20lb i'd be happy. I'm...

I love the bars but can only have one a day. Hate the soups and most of the meals. I really wana stick this out but i am so hungry and feel weak! Why is dieting so hard?! X

I'm on day 2 of a vlcd and i just cant stomach the shakes they are awful. So i'm trying to find an alternative diet, but before i buy the book i wanted to ask some questions. I want to loose 2 and a half stone. Fast! How much weight can i expect to lose on dukan? I want to lose as much as i...

Went well actually didnt cheat at all but did not manage all shakes they are disgusting. This morning i could only drink half! I'm not sure i want to spend so much money on products i cant stomach. Will stick it out this week though and see how i get on may try low carb next week x

Tried a chocolate shake this morning managed half. Seems a waste of money to be pouring shakes down the drain! If i can get through this week i might try low carb next week. If i kept carbs below 30g per day would i still loose weight fast? X

Thanks! Think next week i'm goin to order shakes bars and meals that way i'll only have to have one a day rather than 2. Fingers crossed for day 2 tomorrow x

I only ordered two meal packs. I've ordered curry and mushroom pasta. I noticed they dont do the mac and cheese anymore i liked that one. What other meals do u recommend? X

I never drink coffee. I could happily eat 3 bars a day not sure how i'm goin to stomach the shakes. I was all most sick today. I've had 100g chicken with lettuce for dinner and i should have another shake but at the min i think i'd rather do without x

Why can we only have one bar per day? I think i read in the booklet that they dont want to promote having a chocolate bar for a meal. Surely its no better or no worse than having a shake? Just ha a banana shake and it was awful made me want to vomit x

Hope ur feeling better soon. I've heard after day 5 it gets easier so stick at it. I'm on day one and i'm struggling already! X

Thanks. I've had a stressful morning trying to get tickets for glastonbury but i eventually got them. So i have 9 weeks to fit into a pair of hunters! I think i need to loose about an inch from each calf which is quite a lot. I like how they have the measure ments on the website. Suprirised...

My packs have arrived!! Plan to start tomorrow as I am out tonight so will be having a few drinks. Hope I can do it this time. I’m trying to lose 2st 7lb. Did well with weight watchers last year but just cant get back into it this time. I want to lose as much as I can before a festival in 9...

Hi, I tried this diet last yr and remember having a low carb meal. I'm thinking of giving it ago again but jst wondering if i had chicken and salad for my meal could i have a salad dressing, if so which one? X

Hi, Sorry if this has already been asked but I did a search and couldn’t see anything. Anyway I’m thinking of trying atkins. Are the meals/shakes used as a meal replacement or as a snack? I saw them in asda and was thinking of giving them a try but wasn’t sure if it was to be used as a...

Lol i also love skittles cocktails but dont even want to think about the points in them! X

I used to do ww from home and didnt realise somethings were rounded up. If you have been loosing for the last yr i would t worry about it too much, but if u have access to ww online it tells you on there when you add it to the tracker x

A 275ml bottle of blue wkd is 6pp i'm guessing thats a standard size bottle. Not sure about the port though. I'm guessing your having cheeky vimtos? Lol i love them! X

Thanks for the suggestions! I ended up with prawns and pasta with sweet chilli philly was not nice x

Whats fanta chicken? Is tht like diet coke chicken? I have a sweet chilli cod microwave bag from lidl works out 4pp could have that with stir fry veg x

Any suggestions for my dinner tonight? I have 9 points left. I'm trying not to use any weeklies but would not mind using a few. I'm having salad for lunch today so dont want it again but really dont no what i fancy. Whats everyone having for dinner, inspire me! Xx

Well done! I'm not sure if i'll be able to do it along with the gym, went for the first time yesterday and i'm so sore today will maybe have to wait a few weeks unil i get used to the gym again x

I've been good all week at work. First time since xmas but i'm starving as soon as i get home so have my tea then i feel too full to jump around. Hope my eating patterns change back to the way they were i used to do a class after work and not have my tea til after which was about 7.30. Oh The...

I'm joining a gym again tonight and plan to go on a morning before work twice a week, think this along with 30 day shred will be too much? X

I think she uses hand weights its been a while since i've done it so i could be wrong. If you do need weights you could always use tins or bottles of water x

I'm going to the cinema tonight so wont have time and a gym induction tomorrow night. Might start at the weekend. When i had a body pump class after work i used to have a chinese style mugshot for 4pp or a cuppa soup for 2pp with a banana will try that again. I've been trying to have salads...

I was so hungry when i got home i put my tea on and in 15 mins it was done then i didnt want to do it after a big tea as i was so full. Hopefully will get it done tomorrow x

Thought i would share because it really did not feel like diet food at all! Sorry i had already ate one slice and took a bite out of another before i decided to share. I have half a small pizza express margherita pizza 8pp, 100g mccain oven chips 4pp, salad 0pp and 1tbsp salad cream 2pp. So...

I'm going to try and complete the 30 days too. Going to start it tonight while my tea is in the oven. I always pick at junk when my tea is cooking so least this might stop me from doing that x

Wow! Well done!! Thts great x

Yeah i no really annoying. I have been to his bootcamp classes and new it would be a hard diet but i think £29 is a rip off. Oh well i will learn one. Sticking with ww at least its realistic for me. One of the class teachers from the gym i used to go to told me the club had capacity for...

I'm so angry with myself for wasting money on trying to lose weight once again. There's a man who lives local who does bootcamp sessions, I have liked his page on facebook and he was advertising an online book camp for £30. It gives a meal planner and 16 workouts, thought it would be a...

Well done! I done one day then never got round to starting again. Joining a gym again soon so hoping to do it on a treadmill instead of the cold x

Well done! I lost 35lb last year but have managed to gain 12lb back over xmas. Was my bday yesterday so i've basically pigged out all weekend and today is a fresh start for me. I have about 2.5stone to loose and till september to do it. X

I think nandos is quite good for points depends what you get though. I usually get a butterfly chicken breast, spicy rice and corn on the cob think it comes to about 19 points. I would double check though as its been a while since i've been x

I no i always think i'll be sweating in a few mins but just cant bring myself to do it. Going to start the 30 day shred tonight x

I want to start this but the cold is really putting me off, the thought of leaving my house to walk/jog somewhere really intimidates me lol x

Wow well done on ur losses so far! How did ur wi go? X

Hows everyone doing? I've done terrible since xmas! I'm rejoining the gym tonight and joining ww online on tuesday. Its my bday monday so have meals out planned from now till then so its pointless joining today. Once i get my bday out the way i'm going to be 100% till i'm at goal x

Must admit i am a bit of a lurker, when i reply using my phone it takes ages so i never bother, will try to be more patient! I used this board last yr and it was busier. I did sw from december and it was always busy on there. Loads of recipe threads too x

Good Luck! X

It was for 4 people, looked quite small but was filling. Next time i'd have a salad with it. It was a colmans packet mix thing. I used 1 tin of tuna instead of 200g and left the sweetcorn out. Last night i had chicken wit asapargus roasted carrots pepper and some baby potatoes with peppercorn...

I see. Didnt realise oops x

Hi, I posted earlier about a groupon offer, just noticed my post has gone. Am i not allowed to do that? X

Hi Everyone, Been off the rails once again but decided i need to get myself back on track. I've decided that i will continue to weigh on friday but reset my weekly allowance on mondays. That way if i want to eat them over the weekend i have to save them all week. I also realised i cant do...

Hi! I want to join. I got into the 9s last yr but now i'm way back in the tens! Ideally want to be in the 8s but will take it one stone at a time! X

Congratulations! How romantic of him! My bf has never even bought me flowers before he wouldnt have it in him!! X

The pasta and dough balls were a disaster. Well the pasta was. Which ended up in me being starving and having a massive binge! Yesterday was WI - STS which I am actually pleased about, I stuck to plan all day but then had chippy for dinner. Used some of my weeklies for that though. The josie...

Wish i could! Another bad week. Weigh day tomorrow so starting fresh! Well done x

Thanks! I’ve had another bad day again today. Just can’t seem to get back into the swing of things :( I eat one thing that I probably shouldn’t and then continue to binge. Even taking no money to work didn’t help as someone from the office bought us all a chocolate bar and crisps. Then I went...

Well yesterday was a bad day! I still felt hung over and used most of my points on lunch so ended up having an indian takeaway for tea and i didnt bother with spinning :( Anyway todays a new day, goin to try and have fruit for breakfast and save points for lunch and dinner. Breakfast Banana...

Thanks for reading :) I was sort of on plan saturday daytime, i had about 8 points left. But had a night out followed by a 5am mcdonalds! Sunday i was very hungover and feeling very sick so didnt eat much during the day but had a chinese. I did sort of choose well beansprouts, noodles and...

Well done! Today is my first 100% day in months! :) x

If you go on the website they have the nutrtional info. If you have a calculator you can work it out there. I usually work out points for a few options incase they dont have what i planned to have. Xx

For dinner i had an omelette, with cheese and smoked sausage after i completing two levels of josie gibsons dvd. Now i've put myself to bed with a dvd before i eat something i shouldnt :) x

Well my soup was not nice only had a few mouth fulls so i would say 1pp max. Having sushi at about 4 as i have a class tonight and will be starving if i dont have anything. Leaves me with 9pp for dinner, what could i have for 9pp? Any suggestions? X

I was always hungry when i started weight watchers so i started drinking water. Lots of water. I eat a lot of ww ready meals (i no i shouldnt but i'm not a very good cook) which are tiny in my opinion. So about half a an hour before lunch i would have a pint of water. I always have a drink...

Hi Everyone, I’ve decided to start a diary from tomorrow as I seem to be really struggling at the moment and think this might help. I unfortunately have a love hate relationship with food. I love it so much I cant stop eating! However my body does not thank me for it and I gain wait almost...

Its really nice, dont think its a skinny one bt same points. I always think half a pot looks tiny but with a bread bun and a glass of water i'm always full up after :) x

I love glorious soup the tuscan chicken and orzo is my fav. Thats 3pp for half a pot. Most of the covent garden soups are 3pp for half a pot. I usually have them with a ww petit pain. I try to mix my lunches up i usually have soup, a ww meal or a sandwich x

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you tried all sorts. Ww worked for me last yr lost 2.5 stone but have gained about ten pounds after getting bored tried vlcd, slimming world and a few detoxs. So i'm back to doing what i do best! If you have a iphone you can download an app called ultimate value...

Thanks. I've planned tomorrows meals. I'm having blackberries for breakfast, soup for lunch, fish and veg for dinner with a total of 490 cals. I have a body pump class tomorrow as well sp hope i can stick to it. I'll keep telling myself its only one day x

Hi, I'm thinking of starting this diet tomorrow, but i'm confused as it seems too good to be true. On up days, can i eat anything as long as i dont go over 2300? Do i have to eat 2300? I think i'll really struggle to eat that much. I have 2 stone too loose and would like it gone asap...

Hi, Me too i'm back on weight watchers as of today! I lost 2 and a half stone last yr then went on hol and couldnt get back into it. So decided to give slimming world a try and i just couldnt get away with it. I wish i could as i hate weighing things but here i am 8lb heavier and back on...

Thank you. I'm really actually good friends with her. Its so fustrating how he talks about being on a diet all morning then talks about how bad she was at dinner time then talks about it somemore. I usually dont even answer her but i feel rude, but really i want to shout at her to shut up. The...

Thanks for your advice. Shes a few month older than me but shes like a child. Its honestly like babysitting. Our work mates are quite a bit older than us but they treat her like a child so she continues to act that way, really annoying! I'm really struggling with slimming world have not managed...

I work with a girl who is the same height as me and she is my target weight. She moans on all of the time about wanting to loose weight and how shes on a diet and eating healthy. She literally talks about food all day. Asking can i eat this? How many calories are in this? Well i can eat this...

Thank you! I'd had a very unsuccessful and stressful shopping trip and even surprised myself i didnt go for ribs or chips! X

I went to the harvester today and managed to go with a sw friendly option i had steak, chicken breast jacket potato and salad. Did have some sauce and that worked out 5 syns. Very pleased with my self for picking the sw option! X

Dippy egg and soldiers with a mug of tea :)

I had ham pease pud and beetroot sandwhich, pickled onion monster and a vanilla mullerlight x

Honk for the first time in months :) i've had 8.5 syns xx

Thanks so much! This is great! X

Hi everyone! Just wondering if anyone on here uses a heart rate monitor to count how many calories you burn while exercising. I'm thinking of buying one as i think it would motivate me while at the gym but its £50 so would like some feedback. What do you thjnk of them? X

I cant get to my class today because of the snow :( i'm scared to drive x

My body magic for today was a 45min body pump class followed by a 45 min step class. Hoping to get a few more classes in this week if the snow stays away. I dont like driving in snow :( x

Would it just be the dressing and croutons that we would have to syn? Surely the 'salad' bit would be free? X

Its 4 syns for 100ml of mayflower curry sauce x

Me too! I hate shopping for jeans x

I got my shorts out to remind me why i should not go down stairs and raid the fridge! Out of the 9 brand new pairs i have that dont fit these are my favourite :) x

Choc milk as healthy extra?! Please tell me more! I always struggle with my a choice x

I'm having the same problem! I just looked at some pics from my holiday sept 2011. I then looked at my pics from sept 2012. I had lost 2st 7lb and never realised how much my face had changed! I still have 2 stone to go, hoping when i wake up tomorrow i am in the right frame of mind. I know...

Well done! Thats great!

Last year before my hols i bought a whole knew holiday wardrobe in the sales, a size down! I bought them in june and had a few month till my hols but i didnt manage to get into them, I did manage to pour myself into one pair of shorts but my movement was limited haha. So after starting slimming...

This was my incentive last yr i wanted to loose 4 st for my florida hol! I managed 2 and a half so was very happy but want the rest off for this years trip! You will love it, esp with your niece! You will probs want to go back every year. We had holiday blues so bad we got back and booked...

I used to take the McCain jackets but they go powdery in the microwave. Does anyone else have that problem? x

Hi, Can anyone tell me the syn value for asda smoked haddock fillet? I think haddock is free but this has butter in the pack so i'm guessing would need to be synned. I have the nutritional values from the asda website. Would really appreciate your help as I don't have access to a syn calculator...

Last year I started weight watchers for my first holiday with my boyfriend, we were going to florida. I was 3 stone heavier than him! So I decided I wanted to loose 4 stone. I managed to loose 2 and a half stone and even though I wasn't at target when we went I was so much happier. We have...

I must have missed that bit! Nevermind. Thanks for the info x

Its the ones in the orange bag i think the crinkle ones have more syns than the straight cut x

You get quite a lot for 100g so 1.5syns is a bargain lol x

On the syns calculator online i remember it asking me to include any free food before it calculated the amount of syns. It is definatley not worth 5 syns though lol. I do like it but not that much i'd rather have a packed of monster munch haha x

Hi, Does any one know the syns value of sainburys chicken and vegetable broth. Nutritional Values per 100g 35 kcal protein 3.6g carbs 3.2g fat 0.7g fibre 0.9g 300g per portion. It has a lot of free food in it, Water; Potato; Onion; Carrot (8%); Chicken (6%); Chicken Stock; Swede (3%)...

I usually do have something prepared. I have home made chicken and veg soup today. But some days i dont and sometimes my mind is completley blank and i just cant think what to have. I've written down syns for all my fav ww meals. But really hate spending syns on a meal when i could have...

I think the 5% fat ones are 1.5 syns for 100g. Worth every syn. I hate slimming world chips x

I'd love to loose 12lb. Gained 7lb over xmas sp really want to be 100% from now x

Does anyone have any suggestions for Convenience food? I previously did weight watchers and loved the fact if i had no lunch i could easily pop to asda and grab a microwave meal or soup ect. I really struggle with slimming world lunches or find myself eating jacket potatoes everyday which i...

I joined slimming world a few weeks ago and i'm giving up and going back to weight watchers after xmas. I have too many meals out before xmas so not really worth starting now. I am going to try and eat sensible though. I got fed up counting points after 8 months. So thought i'd give slimming...

Well these long hours at work seem to be helping me stop snacking! Breakfast - 2 weetabix and milk (Healthy Extras) Lunch - Smash, Gravy (1Syn) and Baked Beans. One of my fav meals if i'd had a sausage or 2 but decided to save syns lol! Walkers Baked Stars (4.5 Syns) and Haribos (4.5Syns)...

Good luck! I cant get to class till after xmas either sp trying to do it myself. I've made a spreadsheet to plan my meals and count syns and i'm goin to try an have a different lunch at work everyday! X

Hi Everyone, I lost 2st 7lb by doing weight watchers from home, gained a few pound back so really only lost 2st 3lb now. My reason for finally sticking at some thing was motivation for my first holiday with my boyfriend. He's very slim and i didnt want to look huge next to him. When we went i...

Thanks so much think i'll try the chicken tikka tandori with boiled rice and salad x

I always get that. Even when i'm not on a diet! I love nandos! x

Hi Everyone, I'm out for an indians on saturday but not sure what the best options are. Can anyone help? Before anyone tells me to do a search i just have and got loads of pages that did not even mention indian in the title. So can some one please help me or point me in the right direction...

What is spaghetti squash? It sounds interesting. I struggle to do red as I never know what to have with meals as i dont really like salad unless it is smothered in salad cream (full fat salad cream as well unfourtunatley) x

Do you have a recipe for that? I had a ww recipe, but every time my mum makes it is never the same. It was lovely the first time she made it lol x

Is this the cauliflower curry? What type of curry spice do you use? That looks like proper chinese curry x

Hi Everyone, I love sandwhiches, but try to avoid them since joining slimming world. What type of wholemeal rolls as allowed as healthy extra b? I dont no which ones to buy that will be around 60g and cant really take my kitchen scales to asda lol. Is there any wraps that can be classed as...

I think i'm going to try this. I eat a lot of fish anyway. I'm going to do mostly red or extra easy so that i limit my carbs. I've had a bad few weeks i dont think i've had one full 100% day since starting 5 weeks ago! i'm so angry as i could have lost 10lb if i had stuck to it and lost 2lb...

Sainsburys i think it was called something like chunky cheese company. It was 69p in a black packet. It was 40g so i had half yesterday and half today as healthy extra a x

It was really tasty a nice change from babybels x

Warburtons square wrap pizzas are nice and quite big. I think they are 8 syns but then you could have free toppings a healthy extra for cheese and some sw chips or wedges to go with it. I usually fry the toppings in fry light then put the pizza in the oven for 10 mins or so to make the base a...

Hello Everyone, I picked up a little packet of cheddar cheese today, it is flavoured with chillis and lime. The packet is 40g and works out 8 syns. My question is if i only had 30g of this could i class it as a healthy extra? I dont see why not as they dont specify what type of cheddar, what...

Red has me so confused i think i might stick with extra easy but weigh pasta and potatoes ect. X

I'll ask my constant tomorrow, thanks though. I've looked at the ingredients and its just potato and sunflower oil. They are one syn on extra easy so i'm tempted to use a healthy extra and one syn. If i buy them from the canteen at work i cant weigh it. I'll speak to my consulant and see what...

Well i was out last night ao my plan for today went down the drain as i'm so hungover! Planning tomorrow and i'm a bit confused. Can i have a mccain jacket potato as my healthy extra they only weigh 200g and count one syn for the oil. They are coming up as 9.5syns on the website x

I was just using this as an example as i've never tried red days. First red day today, i'll be having my syns i've had too many this week so will try and stick to 5 but it will most likely end up being 10 lol. Thanks for having a look at it for me x

Thanks for your help i have the orange book so will have another read of it today x

Thanks for the info. Where does my book tell me what is superfree? X

I would use healthy extra a as a snack probably was just thinking about main meals. Cockles have a ss beside them in the book doesnt that mean superfree?

I've always followed extra easy so a bit confused. The last few weeks i havnt stuck to plan i keep cheating. I've just had a word with myself and realised xmas is so close and i really want a nice dress and i have a christening in december too. I've heard people have better losses on red. So...

Mccain Jacket (1syn), Tuna, Salad Cream (2.5syns), red onion and tomato. Was really impressed with the jacket thought they would have been horrible! x
