To give you an idea - Tesco pizza base mix is around 9 syns for 1/4 of the pack makes a decent size if rolled thin about half a baking sheet size - there may be more oil in your restaurant one, there could also be some oil in the tomato base, have to just take a guess, re the mozzarella you'll...

You could always just follow EE and have 2 hebs, all of the syn values would be the same as the old green (there would only be a difference to the old syn value if a food item also contained meat but as a veggie this wouldn't apply) Non veggies who used to do green would prob have had one of the...

Just a quick thought re your breakfast are you counting 4 Alpen lights as one HEB cause I thought 2 Alpen lights were one HEB so you would be having an extra 6 syns per day there Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Re recipes You could make a curry with your chopped chicken and spinach - throw in some extra veg you like -- just be aware between free and superfree or maybe a chicken hotpot topped with sliced potato Your mince you could do either spaghetti bol, chilli, or lasagne again add veg and tinned...

20lbs in 20 weeks is brill I lost my weight really slowly prob average 1/2lb per week but got to target in the end you just got to keep going Good luck Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think it works like this As with slimmer of the week you have to have lost or maintained the week before to get it and so can't get it for your first week As you only joined on 1st you hadn't had a loss/ maintain from the week before to qualify you for the som Hope that makes sense Sent from...

Yes this was mix2max You get 2 heas and 2 hebs You can have upto 3 meals per day and any syns have to be counted at the higher syn value like on success express I think they don't do it anymore cause it's too similar to extra easy and might confuse people Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Re the ww choc mint ice-cream syns A rough guide for foods that don't have any free food element is that 20 cals = 1 syn Eg if it had 100 cals then it would be 5 syns Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I always find best motivation is a short term goal i'm going a wedding at beginning of June so aiming to lose as much as poss for that have you got a special day/night coming up in next few weeks you can think about a new outfit for and aim for that? Good luck :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just remember that when you go to weigh in that's it that weeks over You're then making a brand new start on a new week so you can just move on Good luck with your new week

I think there must be some oil in the rice From their ingredients the fat is 6.8 x 9 cals is 61 cals per portion + Sugars is 12.5 x 4 cals is 50 cals Altogether that's 109 cals per portion which is about 5 syns

Just to double check for you The asda wraps that are listed for 4.5 syns are 34g so if you had 57g you would need to count more

If you sure your food and syns etc are completely on plan the only other thing to look at would be your portion sizes I put on few pounds after hol last year and was really struggling to get back in target then few weeks ago decided to really look at my portion sizes and try to cut them down...

Aw please carry on and don't get down hearted I never lose on star week but if you can keep it going you should have a brill loss next week to make up also changing from morning to eve can prob be up to 3 lbs diff even if you not eaten much you would have been taking in fluids all day too Good...

As circes said you can go and get weighed and ask them not to tell you the result if you really don't want to know - they could always update your book next week when hopefully you ll be back down again ?

I also did this last week normally weigh at group on thurs morn and last week weighed weds morning to see how I was getting on - only lost 1/2 lb then found it really hard all day weds to stick to it as was disappointed Anyway managed to make it to thurs and had lost 1 1/2 at group It's best...

I'm going in 4 weeks with oh and friends eek! Want to lose 8 pounds by then to get to bottom of target range but I always lose really slowly i' ll have to be really strict ?

Hi guys Just been on slimming world facebook site and they've announced that a phase 1 slimming world app is now available ?

Sorry sent before I finished If pudding you chose had say 40 syns and they had something else that you liked that was say 15 syns you might have chosen that if you'd known in advance So might be worth looking at that next time although sometimes you just want something - in that case you just...

Have you read the thread about flexi synning This is where it would have really helped if you could have got an idea of the syns beforehand you may have chosen not to have the pudding you chose If the pudding you fancied had say 40 syns

Totally agree with mlm The idea of flexi synning is to learn to have some control over what you are eating As in the Chinese meal if you were flexi synning it you would choose to have boiled rice for example and look at what you could have that you would still enjoy but would be lowest in syns...

Easiest thing is to weigh it 57g = 1 heb ( equal to 6 syns) so each 10g is equal to about 1 syn Therefore if you have two rounds of bread that weighed 80g you would need to count 1 heb + 2 syns Hope that makes sense

You re all such an inspiration I'm 5 2 set my target at 9st 3 but currently 9st 9 so need to lose 3lb to get back in target range but would really like to reset target to 8st 9 I m going on hol on 12 march with hubbie and friends so want to get there by then fingers crossed ?

Don't know if anyone else already suggested this - not read through all the posts but I think best place to get menu and meal ideas is the magazine :-)

Just to confirm with the bread question Yes you can syn this if you have already used your heb for the day x

You can make your own crisps Thinly slice a potato with a mandolin if you have one - then spray a plate with frylite lay the slices on in a single layer then spray these with frylite sprinkle on a bit of salt then cook in the microwave for about 6 mins til brown they go more crispy when cooled...

Yes that's right you can mix the 1 third as you say then the other 2 thirds is all veg :)

Yes just lot more restricted as you cutting down on the free food element and counting higher syns where applicable :)

Re your meat sweetcorn etc That comes under your 1 third free food in the meal :)

Here goes All free foods etc are same as ee You can have 3 meals per day But you can only have 1 third free and 2 thirds have to be superfree at each meal You get 2 hex a and 2 hex b per day and if you use syns you have to count the higher syn value You would need to eat superfree food...

Hi oddsock Had a quick look at your food diary Not sure if you counting your syns properly Had a look on sw website only Alpro natural yogurt I could find is 7.5 syns for 500g pot also ryvitas are either 1.5 or 2 syns each All the best and keep at it xx
