As PP said. But I like to use Greek yog, sometimes Greek & vanilla. I sort of later it like you would a lasagna- bit of oats, vanilla yog, fruit, oats, Greek yog, fruit. I also like to add a splash of skimmed milk and give it a slight stir. That way you know it will all soak up nicely. It's so...

Monday 1st July Another 1 lb off :-)

I know! In a way I think it's good though because it encourages me to be good through the week so I can have my treats at the weekend rather than splurging at the weekend and then trying to compensate during the week. But it can be a bit annoying. I was actually thinking of changing it but then...

Tuesday 11th June 2013 Taking the plunge & coming back! Haven't posted in over a year. Since then have been on honeymoon, gotten pregnant (not on the actual honeymoon but close!) and had a lovely little baby boy :-) Gained about 3 st during the pregnancy eeek! But half of it came of after the...

Thanks!

Anyone tell me the syns for 45g of plain flour? Trying to work out recipe syns & struggling to find this anywhere. X

Awh thanks!!! I should hang a pair up on the back of my door to help motivate me! You are doing great to be do close to target after having your gorgeous munchkin! Although I think I read you were unwell after his birth? My little monkey is doing great and just gorgeous!!! He has just turned 5...

Hi B! How are you doing? I need motivation BIG time! Can't decide whether or not to come back to SW. Have been doing weight watchers & calorie counting since baby boy was born and have about 9 lbs left to shift (I think). Have lost all motivation especially with the lovely weather! I really...

Thanks I am with WW online and on the min 26 pp. lost 1.5 lbs this week so happy with that. Thats with me only using about 15 of my weeklies. I did SW a couple of years ago and I would lose about that a week. Now that I have had my post natal check up I'll try & get back into running which...

Thanks for getting back and for the reassurance. I have to admit that I'm struggling to drink enough water at the moment! WI tomorrow so will see xx

Bump

I am doing WW pro points online. This is my 3rd week. Used to do SW but I have just had a baby and felt WW would be more flexible. I gained nearly half a lb this week! I'm so annoyed. Don't have my WW diary on here but I had 18 weeklys left plus 8 exercise points I never used. I don't know if...

Hi!!! Congratulations on the birth of you lovely (whopping) baby boy! He is a beauty! Sorry to hear you have been unwell though! Glad you are feeling better! Less than two weeks til my due late for me now! Congratulations again sweetie xxx

Good luck for wed if you don't go before. Looking forward to seeing pics! You will do great xxx

Hey!! You are doing so well! Well done! How uncomfortable are you feeling now? I'm 31+4 today. Sometimes I feel grand, others I just want it to be my due date already! I too have gained 2st 3 which I'm pretty worried about at the moment because I have over 8 weeks left, I could hit the 3 stone...

Oh that sounds unpleasant! So we are 6 weeks apart!? It's flying in for me too although to be honest I'm getting bored of work now! Mat leave doesn't start until I'm 36 weeks, I'm really tempted to bring it forward though! We are getting the baby oyster. The actual pram was sold out...

Hello Missy!! How are you? How far on are you now? You must be approaching your due date? I'm 27 weeks today!! Last week of my second trimester, can't believe it! Away out to buy our travel system shortly. So exciting! Xxx

We are good! Found out we are having a little boy! Only just sunk in! We were totally convinced he would be a girl! Did you find out? Xx

Your looking lovely!! Nice bump! Glad you are doing well! Xxx

Hi! How are you doing? I know what you mean about the weight gain. I was on baby centre today and someone posted a link to a website which lets you know if you are at the right weight for your stage in pregnancy, based on your previous weight, height etc. it gives you a target range and I'm 5...

Yeah, I'm waiting to find out which way things are going to go for me. My nausea has really eased off but still as the day progresses it creeps back over me and I get constant indigestion so keep gaviscon on my bedside table lol! I just want my bump now, u just look like I have fallen off the...

Thanks so much ilovecake! Xxx

Thanks!!! Oh a lovely little boy! I can't wait to find out the sex. I'll put it in writing now;: I think it's a girl ha ha! Only time will tell! I'm glad everything is going ok now, in sure whatever happened was very frightening. I have already put on about 6 lbs which from what I have read is...

Hey! How are you? Sorry its taken me so long to get back! I think i said congratulations on your pregnancy but incase i didn't: CONGRATULATIONS!!! I haven't been on here in ages because I have some news to share too! I'm nearly 13 weeks pregnant :-) Had our 12 week scan on Wednesday. You...

Yay!!!! Congratulations girl!! So happy for you! Lots of exciting times ahead!!! Xxxxx

Hi!!! Yes I am! I'm really liking the freedom it offers and it's helping me with portion control too. To be honest I lost 1 lb my first week and I have just gone back to maintaining. I'm feeling a lot better about my weight since I went back to the gym. But I know what I'm like and I might go...

Sorry to hear that sweetie. Looking forward to hearing from you soon when your feeling back on track. Keep your chin up Xxxx

Hey lady! Just wondering how your doing? Xxx

Thanks guys! Yeah I think if I'm just having the one slice or really needing to save points I'll get WW but otherwise I'll try something new I think xxx

Hey guys! I have been eating the WW thick brown at 2 pp per slice but I was looking through my book and it says a medium slice of any bread is 2 pp. Are they really the same? Could I be having regular bread instead of WW stuff? Any shared knowledge would be great! Thanks xx

Ditto! You are doing great! Keep it up xxx

Thanks! Xxx

1 lb off! Yay!

Hopefully this is it then: 250ml semi skimmed milk (4 pp) 175g plain flour (16 pp) 4 tsp baking powder (2 pp) 1 tbsp caster sugar (2pp) 2 eggs (4 pp) Total: 28 eek lol

Oh yeah! I have just re pointed the flour abs you're right. The baking powder needs to be pointed too. Got that completely wrong! Thanks for getting back to me xxx

*bump*

Hi! It's not been too bad, been off sick with a bad cold so didn't really stay on plan. Lost two pounds though lol. Typical! Can't complain though! I've abandoned the slimming world ship and am trying weight watchers for a while. Started yesterday and I have to say it feels like a big relief...

This is my favourite pancake recipe and I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have worked out the pp correctly? It's seems right to me, not sure about the caster sugar though. Recipe makes 6 very good sized pancakes. I recommend it! 250ml semi skimmed milk (4 pp) 175g plain flour (11...

Thank you! Xx

Hello! I'm doing a bit of investigating as thinking of making the jump from slimming world in order to get back to target and maintain. Can any one tell me how many pp I should be on ? I'm female, aged 28, 5ft 2 & 1/2 and 8st 10 lbs. any help would be much appreciated. Xx

Yeah, it is on Antrim road. They do have some nice stuff xx

Sunday 26th February Posted a new recipe in the SW recipe forum: Yummy Moroccan Spiced Squash and Butterbean Soup

I do green. My fav breakfasts are quorn sausage and egg roll,fry light eggs on toast and French toast. I also love a big bowl of chopped fruit and berries with fat free yogurt poured over!

This is a Gordon Ramsey recipe that I adapted slightly to make it slimming world friendly. You do need a blender but it's super easy! It is gorgeous, free and super speed! Enjoy! Ingredients Tsp of cumin Tsp of paprika Tsp of ground ginger Tsp of ground turmeric Fry light or similar low...

I made this last weekend too. I have now made both versions and I have to say I agree. Slimming eats version is definitely the winner!

Well I went out last night and things didn't exactly go to plan. We went to dinner followed by theatre. It started off very well even though the menu was different than the one I had seen online. I used all my healthy extras and had a stuffed sweet potato with a goats cheese, walnut and...

Saturday 25th February Yesterday Green B: 2 "fried" eggs with toast and light marg ( 2 Syns & heb1) L: baked potato with beans D: veg burger (1) with wmeal roll ( heb2) and sw chips. EL mayo & ketchup (3) 1 large and 1 small red wine (14.5) Syns: 20.5

I have a feeling I'm going to be the same...I will go for the first one but theatre isn't until 5 so I know everyone will be having starters, wine etc! Thanks very much for your advice! Very helpful! Don't worry about the cannelloni and chips now. It's done! ( I will probably need similar...

Hello again! Nice to see you back! I think that since you are not used to working out you should go for 2 or 3 work outs a week just now and then once you get fitter, slimmer and closer to target you can increase this. That should stop you getting bored and keep your weight loss moving nicely...

Ah ha! But you see you are because I'm going to have a green day which I don't often do if eating out. I really want to stay on track though. I have had a look at the menu and could use your advice. Which one do you think is less suns wise? I'm going to leave all my health extras: ROASTED...

Happy days! That's what I like to hear! Making pumpkin and butter bean soup! Will post it later. Thanks very much xxx

Technically not a Syns question...well maybe it is. I've lost my free and super free book. Anyone know off hand if butter beans are super free?

Well done sweetie! I have a meal out tomorrow too! You are my eating out inspiration! I will try and make good choices xxx

Forgot to do my diary yesterday B: fruit n fibre, strawberries, banana, coffee (heb & 1/2, hea) Mid morning: tea ( part hea) L: mug shot, grapes, pear D: supernoodle omelette, sw chips, beans. Ketchup (1 syn) Banana and custard muller (1) Syns: 2 Weight in this morning and it's a STS...
