Went out for lunch today at Turtle Bay & had the spinach, aubergine & sweet potato curry. It was delicious and I’m stuffed 😋 any idea on syns? I’ve counted 7 (including the bread) but could be way out 🤷‍♀️ TIA :)

I lost 1lb this week and got my half stone award. Only another 7lbs to go for Xmas...not sure I will achieve my target! :/

I lost 1 lb this week, 6lbs in total. 8lbs left to go and 6 weigh ins to do it in :/

1.5lb on for me this week :( absolutely furious and no idea where it has come from :(

Can't remember if I updated last week, lost 1lb this week which is 6.5 in total x

Lost 2lb this week x

HI, Can I join please? I'm rejoining SW on Tuesday so hope this challenge will give me a kick up the behind! I'd like to lose 14lb. Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I'm rejumping on the SW bandwagon as I am rejoining on Tuesday. I have done SW on and off for the past few years, the last time was last July when I lost 1st7lb before Xmas but went off track and became disillusioned over Xmas and New Year, struggled with it until May before...

I certainly am! Relegation itself doesnt bother me (well it obviously is upsetting) and if we're not good enough to compete in the PL then fine, but what upsets me is the lack of fight, passion and pride shown by the players in recent weeks and what devastates me more is the way our club is...

Bye Bye Premier League.... :'(

Looks like Blackburn will soon be exiting the Premier League :cry: Me and my mum went to watch them at Swansea and they were awful, in fact WORSE than awful!!

I'm @Jim_jam87...but beware, I tweet mainly about football!!

Me and my Mum had literally just been saying that Utd will go and nick it, then BANG they score!! :cry: We needed the points more than Utd as well! :(

Gutted about Rovers last night, thought we deserved something out of the game, but that's what you get when you play the champions! Well and truly back in the doo doo now after being 6 points clear only a week or so ago! :( It's amazing how a football result determines what mood I'll be in the...

I bet Liverpool will come good just in time to play Blackburn next week!! :(

I believe the old points are roughly half the value of propoints. So 1.5 points is 3 pp - although I never did the old plan so I'm not 100%!

I do it on Esource as Latin American dancing (I think?!) it works out as the same pp

Thanks :)

Oooops :/ 3lb on this week! I was expecting it though and am well and truly back on the wagon.

Lol yes Revilop, you have, but we're short of one!! Bulldogdaisy...I think Liverpool are single handedly trying to get Blackburn relegated...losing to Bolton, QPR and Wigan!!

lol Bring it on ;) (you dont mention the 7-1 and I wont mention the 4-2 ;) )

Me too - Blackburn fan (someone has to be) Cant beat a bit of banter!!

I have been doing the 3 zumba classes for a year, started the circuit class about 6 months ago and have been doing thump for 2 weeks so only really 1 extra class x

I feel so disheartened! I'm a Saturday morning weigher and not normally a sneaky peeker but I weighed myself on my scales this morning and have put on 2lb. Now I know that body weight fluctuates etc but I do weigh in the morning at class. I have done 3 zumba classes, 1 circuit class and 1 thump...

I put 1lb on this week :( Wasnt totally unexpected as I had been very picky from Wednesday onwards. Back on it 100% this week...operation Italy has begun! Me and my mum are going to Venice for 5 days in May for my 25th and her 50th so I want to lose a stone!

2lb off this week :) now 12st 7lb

2lb off :) Got my first silver 7 and 8.5lb in total

Good luck! I dont think I could give up crisps as they are my absolute weakness! I might attempt it though...or chocolate! I could give chocolate up a lot easier than crisps, but then again I might not give anything up ;)

I lost 1.5lb this week after 2 weeks of gaining 0.5lb!

I lost 1.5lb :) 6.5 in total now

I'm a Saturday weigher . I've gained 0.5lb for the last 2 Saturdays and am determined to get to my half stone this weekend (need 2lb) but it's not looking likely at the minute! I have gone back to 29pp coz I was doing 26 but felt deprived, so fingers crossed

Hi. Can I join in please? My starting weight was 13st 1.5lb and I now weigh 12st 10.5lb. I would love to get into the 11s sometime soon but the last 2 weeks I have put 0.5lb on each week and I seem to have stalled a little. I do have a borderline underactive thyroid which wont help but I want to...

It's a shame they dont do anything like this for Blackberry :(

I ended up with a Sainsbury's 2 dine for £10 - includes a main meal (12pp for half), a side dish (3pp for half), a dessert (9pp each :eek: Might skip the dessert!) and a bottle of wine :) So 15pp without dessert and 24 with, but I'm having fruit for brekky and 0 point homemade soup for lunch so...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone was doing anything for Valentine's tomorrow? I'm thinking of cooking a nice meal for me and the OH but have no idea what to make...obviously something low in pp. Has anyone got any ideas?

Yes I was losing on 29pp, I've told my leader I'm going back to 29 and she was fine with it. I wonder why esource still says I should be having 29 if comes out at 26?!

My info is in my first post - 5ft 5in, 12st 10lb, aged 24. When I was on 29 I was eating about half of my weeklies but sicne I've been on 26pp, I've been eating more or less all of them.

Hi everyone. I started WW when we were allowed 29pp, but my allowance never dropped to 26 on esource when ww changed the daily point allowance. I have changed it manually in my settings but I'm just wandering if I should be having 29pp still and that's why it hasn't changed. I've done 26pp for...

It says in the front of the book "All the Propoints values listed in this guide are for the item 'as served', that is as it is described on the menu, unless otherwise stated. So for example, if you ordered the Brocolli & Cream Cheese Bake at Chicago Rock Cafe, the 17 propoints values includes...

I find Morrisons have the best range of ww products, and Sainsbury's are quite good too. In the EOG, the points shown is for the actual portion you get served - including any sides which come with it. So if you order a chilli con carne from somwehere and the menu says it's served with garlic...

Well done, that's brill! :)

Can I join a team please? Thanks

Hey everyone. I started PP today after a few years of SW. I'm enjoying it so far but struggling through due to lack of food in the house! I'm going to do a shop tomorrow, what do you recommend getting that are essential to having a great 1st week? Thanks guys x

I've just started Pro Points today after a few years of following SW. I do like the plan and agree that it works if followed religiously but I have come to the same conclusion that it teaches nothing about portion control. I'm enjoying it so far!

I lost a half this week, taking me down to 12st 11.5 lbs

0.5lbs off me. It's going in the right direction so I'm ok with that :)

Aww tha's lovely, you must feel fab!! Well done hun xxx

KFC chicken, sw chips and veggies :)

I have dinner between 12 and 1 pm, I have my TEA about 7:30pm ;)

I'm going to make the smash pizza with chips and beans I think. I have a real strong cravaing for a Indian takeaway which I'm trying my best to ignore!!

I'm gonna try and make spaghetti carbonara - never even tasted it before, never mind made it so wish me luck!! I'm just a bit worried about getting the 1/3 superfree in but may have a bowl of pineapple afterwards

Hey everyone. Weighed in last night and lost 2.5lbs taking me down to 12st 12lbs, so I'm leaving the 13-12st group and joing you guys for a few weeks :) x

2.5lbs off for me :) SOme fab losses, well done everyone x

I've had this a few times, it's lovely!! Yum yum x

Cottage pie tonight with lots of veggies :) Last night was chicken, mash, carrot & sweded, veg and gravy...delish!!

I've been using the knorr stock cubes as gravy. They do the trick whilst saving syns...although it's not a patch on proper gravy! Tonight I'm having syn free sausages, mash and carrot & swede. Yum yum :)

Not far at all :)

I gained 1.5lbs this week. I'm gutted tbh, would maybe have expected STS or even a tiny gain but 1.5?? My meals have all been good but I've been off work this week so have been picking on things all day!! I think I'm gonna try EE this week as I have been a red/green girl up until now...

I was like that, didnt really like the sound of the smash pizza but I tried it and it was delicious...as long as you cook the smash for long enough! Try it, you'll like it ;)

What is golabki? I'm undecided between chicken fried rice (on a green with chicken as HEB) and cauliflower cheese, which I have never attempted to make before but really fancy!

Good old bangers and mash :)

2lbs off for me...I know it sounds daft but I'm finally under my starting weight, by 1lb! :) Unofficially I have lost 8.5lbs, but according to SW I have lost 1!! x

That's a great idea pudgy! Just try and get back on track for the rest of the week and you might be surprised on the scales. Dont try and play catch up with your syns as you'll probably feel deprived. Good luck!!

I'm from Blackburn, Lancashire

I lost 1.5 lbs this week :) I know it sounds ridiculous but I'm now only 1lb off my starting weight! I started in November and was doing well up until December then obviously xmas came and i had a bad few weeks, once new year came I struggled to get back into the swing of things and only really...

4.5lbs is fab...well done!! Hope I get a couple off tonight x

You certainly didnt let me down...yummy!! x

Mmmmm this is my tea tonight. You've all got my hopes up so it better be good!! xx

Thanks for bumping, I mist have missed it too...a great thread!! xx

1lb off for me, I'm quite chuffed with that after really struggling to stay on track this week. Was quite disheartened after last weeks 0.5 loss and 1lb gain the week before (when I'd had 2 good weeks!)

Dont beat yourself up, it happens to the best of us at some point or other. And as for home weighing, if you're gouing to group I eouldnt recommend it. Our body fluctuates daily so the scales are not always a true reflection. Pick yourself up hun and get back on track x

0.5lb off for me. I'm absolutely gutted. I put 1lb on last week and wasnt expecting that so when I got on the scales on Thursdya and had only losxt 0.5lb, I could have cried!! I had a bad night food wise but am back on it today...I best lose good this week!!

Thanks for all your replies, I just don't know what to do! I've just been having a look online and it seems so confusing! I know sw was the same and I guess I'd get used to it. I'm trying to track PPs as I go along with my sw food. So far I've only had 2 weetabix with 250ml semi skimmed milk...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a bit of advice please. I've always been a SWer and the last few weeks I've been really focussed after having struggled to get back on track after xmas. Anyway it was going ok, -1.5lb, -2lb then last week I gained 1lb (unexpectedly) and last night I lost 0.5lb...

Good luck...you can do it!! Having something amazing to work towards will definitely stand you on the right track!! xxx

Well done on your loss, see you CAN do it ;) Good luck for ext week...keep it up xxx

Start again as though tomorrow is the first day of the week, dont try and play catch up with syns. You may not see a loss on Wednesday but you will know why, and besides, if you get back on plan tomorrow it will definitely be better on Wednesday than it will be if you carry on off plan! Good...

Hi, Welcome to Minimins :) You'll love it here. Good luck with your journey xx

You dont have to have 1/3 superfree, but on green any meat is either synned or a HEB and on red any rice, pasta or spuds is synned or HEB x

1lb on for me...I'm gutted :( Gonna stick with it though and it'll hopefully come off (plus some) next week!

Well done giraffegirl, that's fab...lots of shininess!! Well done everyone else too...2lbs off for me :)

I do 3 per week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. I love it...definitely have the zumba bug! I dont think I could manage a forth though. Our instructor is fantastic! The tracks run back to back and we just grab a drink when we want

Good luck hun. It doesnt matter how many times you fall off, it's part of the journey...it's all about oicking yourself back up again so congrats hun x

1.5lb off for me :) x

Hi everyone, I've been really queit lately, had a lot going on. But I'm back on it today, after gaining 2lbs at weigh in last night :( I actually weigh more now than when I started!

Only lost 0.5lbs this week, that coupled with a 1lb gain last week when I've been eating right and have upped the exercise doesnt make me a happy bunny!!

1lb on for me, I've had a good week too so really downhearted

Gained 1lb this week, I'm so naffed off and demotivated right now!

I'm not far from you either...Blackburn :)

Thanks Circes x

Please can I have the recipe Blufizz...sorry to be a pain! :D

I found that one thanks. I tried making it last night...3 times I tried and everytime the dough was far too sloppy! I gave up and made one with a pitta bread!

Hi guys, I've heard so much about Vixster's syn free pizza. I really want to try it for tea tonight but cant find the 'full' recipe anywhere. I have one to use 75g wholemeal bread mix (is that 2 HEBs?) Thanks

I dont think it will be. I thought it'd be one long routine and you do it in sections and then altogether at the end but it was short routines, 3-4 minutes to a different song each time

I just wore similar to what I'd wear in the gym...gym pants and a short sleeved top and trainers (rather than pumps etc) You'll love it!

I'm having left over stir fry from last night's tea...it was delish!

For every 1lb I lose, I put £1 in a jar. When I lose half a stone, I'm going to buy myself a pandora style bracelet and for every half stone thereafter I will buy myself a little charm :)

Hey, Just had to share. I went to my 1st Zumba class last night and LOVED it! Would definitely recommend to anyone who's thinking of going along :) Cant wait til next week when I can go again!

Frugal fifer, that's amazing, well done you!! x

Well, as with many other SWers, I thought I'd start a food diary to help motivate me and give me the kick I need. When I stick to plan, I KNOW I can lose the weight as I have done before but I always end up faltering...but NOT THIS TIME!! 2011 will be my year! I had my last pig out last night...

Wow, doesnt she look fab :)

Good luck with getting back on it tomorrow, and with your WI on Monday. As people have already said, we all do it from time to time, it's how you deal with it that is more important really. It's all part and parcel of the learning curve and journey we are all on, you just have to learn to draw...

Hi all -0.5 this week for me. I've been good meal wise, and been having my syns, but then I've been picking in the evenings so I'm ok with that. Well done on your losses everyone :) x

Syn free donner meat, yum

Hi everyone. I lost 1.5lbs this week, I was a bit disappointed as it was my 1st week but a loss is a loss :) So chuffed at the same time x

I was good yesterday, made a cheese and onion pie (recipe from here) for tea and had that with sw chips and beans. It's my 1st WI tonight so fingers crossed :) How are you getting on? x

Hi! My stats are similar to yours. I'm 5' 4.5" - 5'5" and weighed 13st at last week's weigh in:cry: My heaviest weight ever!! I'll be your buddy if you want :)

That's brilliant, well done you!! Don't knock your loss, every single loss is as important as the last one, whether twice as much or half as much, they all count and they all mean something!!

haha, me too! I got so excited when I saw it, I LOVE that advert. You know it's nearly here when you hear that 'holiday's are coming' :) Love it, makes me all giddy every time I see it

I'm sooooo excited for Christmas, I just love it! I'll be on plan most of the time. Got works do on afternoon of 23rd so will have some buffet and a couple of drinks. Will (hopefully) be back on plan on xmas eve until evening when we go out for a few drinks. I'm not even gonna think about what I...

I know it's flown by!! I've really enjoyed my 1st week back though :) x

Wow wow wow!! What a fab start!! Keep it up :) Welcome to the site and good luck with the rest of your journey

Well done for joining and good luck :) I'm rejoining tonight too, hopefully I'll do it this time! We CAN do this xxx

It is half price at the moment, so your first week would cost just under £10 for joining fee and class price, then it's £4.95 a week x

My post has disappeard for some reason. Anyway...congrats, that's amazing news!!:family2: xxx EDIT...It's reappeared now, stupid computer! Never mind, you deserve double congrats anyway :)

Don't do it, you'll only feel worse!! Get yourself a nice big mug of hot vimto or ribena (sugar free of course!!) and take a couple of paracemtomal and hopefully you'll start feeling a bit better soon. RESIST THE BICCIES!! xxx

That's fantastic, well done you! xxx

Awwww lovely. Congratulations!! :) xxx

Good luck for your first week, and well done on getting straight back on it! As Dudette says, one bad day doesn't shape your week and if you get back on plan you can still achieve a great loss. Good luck :) x

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your support! Almost finished my 1st day back on plan and so far so good! Good luck Rednicola and skipalong too :) xxx

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. So I'm back with my tail between my legs! :sigh: I used this site for a while but under a different alias. I was doing ok on sw and can do well when I put my mind to it but I decided a while back to try calorie counting as I felt it offered more flexibility...
