Thank you! Looks like I'll be keeping this for when my granddaughter stays!

Sorry, I should have said tinned!

Can anyone help with the syn value of Morrisons savers macaroni cheese.....please??

How about de-skinning a sausage (WW or sainsburys low fat) mixing with black pepper, smoked paprika and maybe a tiny bit of ceyenne, roll back into sausage shape, fry in frylight then slice when cold? only half a syn

3rd time lucky!!?? Hi everyone........... I'm back.....yet again! I'm hoping this is third time lucky! My starting weight was around the 19 st mark about 3 (ish) years ago, got down to 13st 2lb for my wedding in aug 2010 and have been putting weight back on ever since. I think I m around...

Friday Can't remember had too many sleeps since then! Saturday 2nd July - EE day Breakfast/Lunch - alpen light bar (half hex b) and nectarine Dinner - had bbq with the old 'uns (aka parents) chicken & veg kebabs with jacket potato and small amount of vege cous cous and a large amount of wine...

Big up Slimming World! I found that the problem with WW is that as long as you stay within your points allowance you could still eat crap. With SW it encourages you to eat unlimited amounts of very healthy food, the result being that you then automatically snack on healthier foods. It is too...

Is marmite free then?

eeeewwwwww........food of the devil !! The only offal in my house gets given to the woofers and even then I'm heaving when I cook it!

Thursday 30th - Red Breakfast - alpen light and a plum, half Hex b Lunch - leftover sw friendly lasagne (no pasta) - hex a Dinner - steak with mixed roasted veg with two small new potatoes - half hex b Snacks - beefy space raiders, milk in tea & coffee (hex a), bacardi & malibu mixed with sf...

After successfully losing over 5 stone, I gained back over a stone and so restarted SW monday 20th June. Thought I would keep a food diary to help me stay on track for the next 2-3 stones. Tuesday 28th June - Red day Breakfast - ff yoghurt, fresh grapefruit and orange with a crumbled in scan...

By coincidence I have just replied to another thread regarding slow weight losses with PCOS, take a look. The lady in question is a vegetarian and therefore cannot to red days, but the advice is still the same........no white pasta and small amounts of potato, wholemeal pasta, rice and cous cous...

I've had exactly the opposite, when I got to a 3 stone loss, my periods returned after only having a dozen or so in the previous 8 years. It helped my PCOS symptoms, which is great, not sure about the dreaded return of the monthly visits though!

Hi Raven Please please please don't give up. I have suffered from PCOS and diabetes for the last ten years. I lost five stones (still more to go) over a couple of years. It does come off very very slowly, but don't be disheartened as it WILL come off. As you are a veggie, you obviously can't...

I'm no sure if anyone has noticed, but some of the recipes in the sw magazine, list lean lamb mince as the ingredients, NOT extra lean. For example in jan/feb issue, there is a recipe for Harissa spiced lamb burgers using 511g of lean minced lamb, syns per serving EE free, Original fee. I think...

Well, after deciding to restart SW last monday and my son being taken to hospital monday evening, (which would normally send me straight to the vending machine), got over that and carried on the week really well and have been doing lots of cooking and varying my meals all week...

Welcome back! I too am a serial SW'er, on and off for about 14 years, lost quite a bit, put on a bit and decided to finally lose the last 2 or 3 stone (ish)! back at SW as I think it's one of the easiest plans. Good Luck !!!!

You can still have sw chips on a red day, but you need to weigh the potatoes and leave the skin on so you can have it as your hex B. I just love steak, jacket wedges, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes. I also am of the era when sw was green and red days and due to the fact that I have PCOS and...

I sometimes split my healthy extras, whether some would agree or not, it has always worked for me. For example, one small slice of wholemeal toast at breakfast time, alpen light mid morning, half of heb potatoes with dinner and another alpen light in evening sometimes used to make a cheesecake...

Not sure if this has been posted before, but wanted to make as low a syn as possible scan bran cake so just had a little experiment 5 scan brans 2 eggs (one seperated) coconut options 5 tbsp canderel made the usual way, scan bran soaked until soft, mix in 1 whole egg and one yolk, add...

Well, decided to restart SW yesterday. Last week I posted that I thought I was nearly 15 stone, but weighed myself yesterday morning and was 14.9, so pleased that I wasn't quite as heavy as I thought. Spent a fortune on shopping the weekend, listed loads of recipes and started yeaterday really...

Done even better than that saturday night, four pack of fresh free range chicken breasts, nearly ten pounds reduced to 45p...YES 45p!!!!!! and there were two packs! And what made it even better is that I get 10% staff discount as my son works in Morrisons abbatoir! bargain or what??!!

Maggi Liquid Seasoning...........yum, yum, double yum.......... Just discovered this in Morrisons the other day, 96calories per 100ml, only 5-10ml needed, so thats only 1/4 to 1/2 syn! Had chopped butternut squash, orange pointy peppers chopped, courgette, mushrooms and half a HEB of new...

I think so.... there isn't any added oil, just herbs/spices etc

WOW WOW WOW My meatballs, fried in frylight and finished in oven smelt amazing so had to try one..... what can I say, but YUMMY! Definitely top of my list from now on.

This is fine!!!! Big up the SW chips, yummy!

Morrisons Eat Smart Sausages I have defrosted some morrisons eat smart sausages (just pork ones) and mixed with salt, pepper, garlic, bbq swartz mix, aromat and maggi liquid seasoning then made meatballs with them ready to portion up for the freezer, only thing is I can't remember how many syns...

Done a very small shop in Morrisons tonight as I needed a few bits before my weekend big shop and soooo glad I did, got some real bargains.............activia fat free 6 for £2, swartz perfect shake seasonings 2 for £2, nandos peri peri chip sprinkle £1.99 (not on offer but a fantastic find!)...

AMAZING new discovery Just happened to glance around the chinese/indian section in morrisons and found rice flour pancakes for making spring rolls at only 24 calories each!!!!! OMG how amazing is that??!! Could easily be made for green/red/ee with fillings of choice, wrapped up, squirt of...

I'm fortunate that the local pet shop gives me trade/breeders discount because I buy so much, but each time I go there it costs me well over £100, but on top of that I also buy cat biscuits from supermarket and make meat and vegetable stews for the dogs to mix in with their dried complete food...

I've actually been making the syn free kebab for years as I done sw a long time ago, I've even done it when I'm 'off the wagon' so to speak as it's pretty damn yummy! Done a very small shop in Morrisons tonight as I needed a few bits before my weekend big shop and soooo glad I did, got some...

Well, here I am, tail between my legs........can I come back pleeeeeease??? After losing almost five stones on my own for my wedding last August, I gained a few pounds so decided to join minimims..........then had lots of problems, family, work, redundancy, another redundancy, poorly mother...

Hi Sue, I have only just read your thread regarding this lady. I worked in a residential care home for over five years and am now a warden for sheltered accomodation and have seen many suspicious scenarious over the years. Obviously things are different in Spain, but my first port of call...

I know it's too late now, but ideas for future red days....... Ham eggs & chips (actually jacket spud cut into wedges) HEB Chicken breast stuffed with a HEA of cream cheese & garlic, wrapped in bacon Spagetti carbonara, using either the bacon or ham, mushrooms, garlic, a HEB portion of...

Kedgeree, garlic prawns, prawn & salmon mousse/pate, chinese prawn toasts, in a sw friendly creamy sauce to top another piece of fish (salmon/cod etc), fishcakes, open prawn sandwich, mix lemon zest, pepper & HEB breadcrumbs sprayed with frylight & cooked in oven or just yummy with lemon...

I couldn't find lean mince lamb, so I just bought Morrisons own make. I then put it on a rack in the oven so all the fat drained out. I allowed a couple of syns just in case though. HEB pittas are the wholemeal ones from co-op.

I LOVE THE SUN HOLIDAYS!!!! First time I went on one was 12 years ago when I was a single mum with my daughter. Then I had a lovely one in Burnham on Sea with my mum & daughter the following year and then with hubby & both our kids when they were younger. The last 3 years me & hubby and had...

Hi Helen I think I will be based at Spring Gardens? If I remember correctly, I don't know Long Sutton very well. Yeah, the whole situation with my daughter has been a nightmare, I can't believe the amount of stress she has put me through for all these years, but the recent incident really is...

Yes it is......I start a temp job tomorrow, its for SHDC as a warden in Long Sutton! Do you go to class? I see you are at target, how long did it take you?

I think frittata is basically like an omelette, but you would cook in fry pan then cook top under the grill. Can't see why you couldn't put cottage cheese in it aswell. I always liquidise my cottage cheese and egg when I make a quiche, it prevents any lumps (apart from the meat veg etc) it also...

ooohh Helen, where abouts are you? I'm just outside of Spalding

OK OK OK...... a bit behind and still in 2010 mode......... Monday 10th January 2011 !!!!! Happy now?? LOL

I have lost 4 or 5 stone. I say 'or' because I know I have put some of my weight back on. BUT, it has taken me 3 years to lose this weight and I see it as having taken the scenic route rather than the motorway. If I really want a takeaway, then I will have one and not beat myself up, after all...

As some of you already know, the start to this year hasn't been great, but I have grasped SW by the balls so to speak and am ready for Monday 10th January 2010. So here goes...... I have made chinese chicken soup, scotch eggs and cooked a ham for tomorrow (red day), I have been on 'puter and...

Anyone on here from South Lincolnshire? Anyone going to group? I need a slimming buddy

Hey Amy, I think that Green days can sometimes make you feel like this due to the carbs, but it may be just a feeling. Go with the flow and wait until tomorrow and find out if it has worked for you. I know personally due to PCOS that I cannot have too many green days, but everyone is...

No, I didn't have individual counselling, it was done as a family, then mainly me & daughter as hubby was working away a lot of the time. I thought we had got somewhere, but obviously not....... I have issues of my own to be honest...... I technically died 20 months ago during a routine...

We had 18 months of counselling when she was 13/14 and to be honest I don't think it has done one iota of good. All I can say is that my head is soooo f****d up at the moment I dont know whether I am coming or going. What doesn't help is that hubby is going away in the morning for work and...

went to Morrisons yesterday, all of the eat smart range is (I think) 20/25% off. I bought the sausages for £1.47, which is even cheaper for me as my son works for their abbitoir so I get another 10% off! Their Nom yoghurts, which although are not for us SW'ers but OK for family, are only 25p...

Well, just thought I would give an update as to what is happening................The police came round on Thursday evening and called my daughter on her mobile whilst here. Basically he told her she was in trouble for stealing and fraud and that she had to report to our local police station on...

Pinchbeck, a small village just outside of Spalding, South Lincolnshire

Hey Giraffegirl, I'm originally from Burnham/Taplow, what a small world! Moved to Lincolnshire 6 years ago and can honestly say I don't miss living that close to Slough LOL Good luck

Not sure if this has been posted before, but this is a recipe I have followed whether doing slimming world or not! Chicken breast/thighs skin removed & chopped into 1.5 inch chunks VFF natural yoghurt Chicken tikka dried spices/mild curry powder Ground cumin Garlic salt Ground coriander...

I made this for my family, hubby (who is kebab freak), son, dad, brother and two young neices over Christmas. It went down extremely well and I got lots of brownie points! I blended the meat in a food processor to get a smoother consistancy and put in pittas with lots of finely slices white...

Chinese chicken soup 1 large cooked chicken breast grated few Spring onion very finely chopped 1 garlic clove grated 1cm of ginger grated chicken oxo/chicken bovril soy sauce 1 egg 1 or 1.5 pints water all measurements are guestimates as I never really weight anything....... Stirfry in...

Fern, Thank you very much indeed for being so honest and open about your past. I am truly overwhelmed and touched by everyones response, some of which are very long and obviously took a lot of time and thought to write, thank you all again. I made the decision this afternoon to go to the...

Sue (fillymum), thank you so much for taking the time to write all of the above, I'm very touched by your advice and that it probably took so long to write it. I think I do know that I should go to the police but am putting off the inevitable. It's not an easy decision as I know having a...

Thanks Laura, I know also I was no angel when I was younger, but I never done anything so extreme. Every time she has taken money from my account, it was pure pre-meditated theft and deceit. I have given her b******ing after b******ing, but to no avail. I have ranted and raved, cried and...

No she is definitely not on heavy drugs, I would know if she was. The problem with my daughter is that she wants everything but does not want to work for it. The classic example is whe my dad showed her the plans for the bungalow he is renovating, her first comment was ' OMG am I really going to...

I think she smokes the odd joint, which obviously I'm not happy about but also know it's par for the course, so to speak. I know she's not on anything heavier as I have unfortunately been around people (including family members) that are on harder drugs and know the signs. I have had a...

Thank you for your understanding and advice, but....... she went it alone for a while and then she was ill and I had a mercy dash 200 miles away to pick her up. In hindsight I think she owed her flatmates a lot of mone as it was a very sneaky departure from her shared house. She has lied and...

No she doesn't work, she has no motivation to work either. She has been spending the money on crappy food, energy drinks, alcohol and cigarettes. I really don't think therapy would work as we tried this for a long time. She's with her girlfriend at the moment and posting comments on face book...

we had 18 months of therapy when she was 13/14! nothing has changed. She's a very self centered, selfish person, I hate to say this about my own daughter, but it's true

She has absolutely nothing I can sell. How can I have her living back here when I will never trust her? We have had locks on our bedroon door and larder for almost 6 years due to her thieving

She got my pin number by watching me in the supermarket on many occasions.......I have now changed passwords online for various things, including ebay and paypal and I do not trust her to go on a spending spree now she knows that I know what she has been up to. The worst things are that she paid...

Well, here goes......my daughter has taken my debit card on several occasions and withdrawn money from mine & my husbands account, she has also taken it to the supermarket and bought goods and got cash back. I'm talking a few hundred pounds in the last two months. Me & hubby were made redundant...

I'm very very lucky......my husband has watched me do every fad diet going, with my weight fluctuating from 14 stone when we first met, to my highest of nearly 19 stone. Even at my heaviest, first thing in the morning, looking like a bag of cr*p he said I was the sexiest woman in the world. Now...

Hi, I know I'm a newbie and I don't know anyone on here, but I REALLY REALLY need to talk to someone outside of my family with a really big problem I have with my teenage daughter. Mastiffmum (Kim)

Whilst doing SW a few years ago, there was mention of 'The Wendy Plan'. If I remember rightly, it was an American lady, called Wendy obviously!, that was doing WW, but plateaued for a long time so decided to change the amount of points she had daily, but the total amount over the course of the...

A great big new year hello to you all. Thought I would finally register with minimims as I need some support with the final chapter of my journey, and you lot seem a pretty good bunch!! My (shortened) story is...... I used to weigh 18 & half stones and have gradually lost weight over the...
