I have definitely bought this somewhere. I did think it was mercadona. Maybe it was Charter ( Consum ) I will have a look over the weekend when I pop in. Thats if you have a Consum there Malaga way??

We live on melon in the summer, love it. Very refreshing on the beach!! might pop to lidl tomorrow to get some veg. Hubby back on Sunday so I can do a roast and he can help me out lol! Iceland opening next week too. It is going to be the biggest one in Spain. The shop they are using is huge...

Thats the one we had, lovely :)

Not cheap at the moment but treated me and the kids to our first melon of the year and it was worth every cent...deeeeelicious!

You made me drool then!!

I got some of the fresh veg to be steamed in microwave from mercadona, reduced to 85c a pack and it was really easy and tasty, so will be having that again.

Thanks for that. I have been using freezer bags to keep it clean and dry. Never roasted butter nut squash, will have to try that. I did SW wedges with skin on tonight with chicken drum sticks and found some mixed frozen veg. The boys do help me but not the best lol, at least they are trying...

I have had a terrible week and really need to get back on plan :( first fell half way down stairs tues and have managed to break wrist so in plaster (luckily left hand) second, my hubby had to fly to UK on Wed morning as his mom rushed to hospital (hopefully out next week but needs lots of...

Good luck Amy x

I thought it was just me. I started my period on Sat and have just eaten all weekend. Going to try and have a good day today!

We don't have Mas y Mas here. Only 2 weeks for Iceland opening lol!!

I get the fat free natural yoghurt for currys and Mercadona do a fat free Greek yoghurt too.

Where are you angelicwave? if you are in Spain can you let us know what it is lol!! I love cereal bars and miss them as there are none here I can have!

Living in Spain its nearly impossible to get fresh ham like you do in the UK so have always used the packet stuff and it hasn't stopped my weight loss. I do tend to use the packet thin sliced chicken more though.

I do like Lidl for veg too as it is always very fresh. Their bananas are lovely.

They have started selling low alcohol San Miquel in some of the bars here. About 2% and really tasty. Will be nice on a warm summers evening :)

I think that is how they eventually opened up here. So many people were travelling to Murcia to shop there and were asking them to open here and emailing them. Intermache shut down and they have taken over the old store. Should be open in a couple of weeks so I will driving you mad on syn...

Oh good will try it this week as not used it yet with lots of roasted veg.

:D Same here. Wonder if the Spanish drivers will take any note :confused:

Totally off topic sorry, did you realise that the speed limit goes down today in Spain :( 110 on motorway. And big fines if over speeding.

I love strawberries. Off to market this morning to buy a box of them!! Iceland opens near here the end of the month so will be nice to still get them in the Summer. We can get frozen raspberries here too. Not the same but nice for a change. We went last year in June to the UK when the kids...

We are neighbours :D Sorry having children I spend all day being a taxi service as they finish school at 2 and 2.30pm and Saturdays too with motor bikes, horseriding etc :sigh: Except Sundays which is chill out day for us as a family.:D xx

I have been using normal mince and draining once, then back in pan and draining again. I have managed to lose weight so I am happy to do this even though its not the 'proper' way. Sometimes living abroad you just have to do the best we can with what we can get ;)

Me too, picked that up today to try :)

A bit far for me in Almeria, its 2 hours to Alicante for me. :(

I do Yoga, callanetics and I walk the dogs every day too. I know it makes a big difference. I am actually heavier than I want to be on the scales but I am more toned and slimmer than I was at a lower weight with no exercise.... if that makes sense!!! :o

1 lb this week :)

Looking good :)

Wow what a fantastic cake!! Happy Birthday for tomorrow xxx

1 lb loss for me. Which I am very happy about it as I had a bit of a blip on Sat, with crisps and a mars bar!!

I don't think I will have lost this week :( I had a blip yesterday, sudden craving for all things naughty and eat some of it!! As long as I haven't put too much on. Good tip about melon, will buy some tomorrow.

I must admit, most of my syns go on wine :o The strawberries are coming down in price and when you are here they will be at their best. Oooh just talking about them makes me want some. Off to market tomorrow for me :)

I walk every day with the dogs. I am not sure whether it helps in getting rid of pounds but I know my legs are very toned from it. I also do yoga and callanetics and even though according to my scales I could do with losing more I am now fitting into my clothes that were tight before. I believe...

Really interesting post as this week I have been keeping check on everything we have spent as want to know where our money goes :hmm: Anyhow I have worked out with all the bits and pieces throughout the week I spend €125 (£105 or $171) on food, including booze!! This is a couple of shops at...

So when you reach your target and are happy what to you do to maintain it ? Do you still follow SW somehow. As I think if I just stopped I might just go back to square one :confused:

Thanks, that is why I hadn't touched it because of the sugar. I just wondered if anyone had worked out the syns. Might treat myself now and again. I wont even ask about Alioli!!

Sorry if in wrong place I was discussing this with my friend, I say that if I am drinking decaf tea it is just warm water and it goes towards my water intake as by putting a teabag in doesn't contaminate it in any way. I can understand if you have too much caffeine its not good for you but I...

Does anyone know if there are syns in the grated carrot and beetroot we can get here? I love them and miss them in my salad.

Im having a hungry day today. I haven't stopped picking today. But have been good though as all free stuff.

Thanks for that.... I didn't realise that is how you work it out. :)

according to my book they are 1.5syns each. :)

Looked everywhere and cant find these. Can someone help me. They are lovely so I am thinking they will be high in syns! Linessa Apple Muesli bar. No added sugar. per 25g bar: 95 cal 1.5g protein 17.8g carbs ( I think, looking at ingredients in Spanish!) 2.1g ( that contain sugar) 2.8g fat 2.4...

I always drain my mince and amazed how much fat come off it. I will try doing it twice now. Thanks for the tip :)

Thanks everyone. I am going to do EEasy or green for a few days and see if that will help. :)

Well done thats an excellent loss :)

Thanks... I love this group :)

Thanks, if I am putting lots of veg in my chilli will that count towards my superfree :)

I am going to do an extra easy day and just want to ask if chilli con carne, made with lean mince, tomatoes, mushrooms and other veg, kidney beans and brown rice will be OK for an evening meal?

PMSL!!! I never noticed that... how funny! Hopefully our iceland opens in April so looking forward to some bargains as I get through ryvita so quickly.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place?? I am now into my 4th week and I am mainly following red days as I find it works best for me but for the last few days I am getting headaches and feeling very dizzy and lightheaded all the time. My husband says it is because I am not having enough carbs in...

Hi, I started back to SW 3 weeks ago. I only have 10lb to lose, I have lost 7 so far :) I know the last 3 might take a few more weeks but I am not finding the diet a problem and enjoying the food so for me, Yes, it works!

Well done everyone for yesterday :) Going to be very good this week and see if I can do more than 1lb next Monday :)

Thats great. I will doing a green day soon as they look lovely :)

Thanks for that, will look for the cous cous threads.

Just been into my local health shop and they are stocking some of his products. Mainly the cous cous but a lentil dahl and a Med bulgar wheat. Any ideas on syns for these?

Thought I would join this thread as do my WI on a Monday :) I lost 1lb this week, not the best but I only now have a few pounds to loose so I am not expecting a high loss. Also we did have friends round Sat for curry and a few drinkies so happy with that.

Thats excellent. Well done :)

Thats excellent. Well done :)

Thanks Sue, will have a good mooch in the freezer shop when I am next in there.

Thanks Sue, I am just waiting for Iceland to open here! Most of the other stuff I can get in the English shops. When you say Bernard manning stuff free, surely not the breaded stuff???

I am loving those Las pasteleria yoghurts. Just had the red fruit one and its delicious.Thanks so much for that tip :D I do a big load of fat free soup and have it when I feel peckish. I get those veg packs you can buy everywhere, stock cube, seasoning and some coriander, blend and its yummy...

Well, not been too well the last few days. really bad sore throat and fever started Friday. We then had visitors yesterday round for a curry but I must of done something right, even with the popadoms and chutneys as I lost 4lb this week :) Very pleased as I only really have a few more pounds to...

I put the stuffing in the gravy. You don't use half as much but get all the flavour :) then just syn them both. Nice to know about the yorkshires as I love them :)

Had my first strawberries today. Me and kids were fighting over them. Yummy!

I am on my second week in and doing mainly red with the odd green and Extra Easy thrown in. For example we are having friends round and my husband is cooking a curry, he will cook a low fat, lots of veg chicken curry and I can have some rice as well. I don't feel left out then when everyone is...

Just had a lemon tart yoghurt and it was delish. So nice to have something when I fancy something sweet. Going to try the apple this afternoon ;) Thanks so much for that info. I would never of thought of buying them :)

Off to mercadona tomorrow for some of those yoghurt's :) They sound yummy, never had them before. Also the jam would be good to know as I miss that at the moment. I will have a look around to see what I can see that might be no or low syns and post them here to see if we can work it out :)

I forgot I also had some homemade veg soup, and lots of veg in my curry and a big salad so hopefully that was enough for my superfree stuff. Thanks for the help :)

I am having a EE day today so I can have Curry and rice for my evening meal. I just want to check I have it right so would appreciate some help. Todays meals are: HE a: milk HE b: ryvita breakfast: scrambled egg and mushrooms snack: banana lunch: ryvita chicken salad dinner: homemade...

Wow Linton, that is brilliant for us. I am really pleased. So will a lot of my friends :) Does your husband have to be fluent in Spanish to work there? I could do with a part time job but even though Im OK I am not brilliant at Spanish..

Brilliant idea. I am glad about the Lidl crispbreads as I like them. Will get some of those Yoghurts too as I have been buying Activa fat free and they are not cheap!!. Im afraid I don't know any more as only been on for a week so just been sticking to fresh meat and fruit and veg or the...
