Hi all, May i join you? I have been doing SW for MANY MANY yrs now ( 14 yrs to be precise on and off ) But lately when i have tried my loses have been really slow. This was my second weigh in and over 2 weeks it was only a 1.5lb loss. Much to slow for the first 2 weeks. So i am thinking that SW...

Sorry i dont know the syn value but i would have thought they are REALLY high as when i have bought them from the chinese supermarket to cook myself the saturated fat that comes out of them is unbelievable! So until you get the proper syn value i would stay well away lol. I know its hard, I love...

Well done girls on your great weight losses, your doing great! I lost 1lb today not a happy bunny to be honest. Am i being greedy to just want two's? I have never lost sooo slow. I thought it was something to do with EE so i went back to green and red and still a little loss. Oh well onward and...

Thanks Pom, it took me ages to figure it out cos i didnt look how to put it on here but then i always do things the wrong way around lol :thankyou:

They might be 7 - 7.5 but if you fill them up with loads of salad and meat then they are very filling and when you think of it some bags of crisps can be almost that high ( naughty ones lol) I think i would prefere the pitta and heathier really. Ooooooo get me! Am having a crunchie for my syns...

Sorry girls this is totally off topic but i have got to ask ( cos am nosey lol ) I have noticed that some of you girls have your BMI on your signature. How do i find out what mine is and post it on my signature too? Thanks and sorry for interupting your conversation. I have been reading your...

Thanks for you replies Sally. Am gonna go with the 150g when raw cos i cant stant my food going cold and also i would be more tempted to pop the odd one in my mouth lol.

Hi is that raw weight?

Hi all, I am on a green day. Can anyone tell me what weight of raw king prawns i can have as a B Hex. Is it still the rule that if you find the syn value of meat/fish or shell fish you just have to deduct 6 syns to use it as you B Hex?? In my book it says 100g raw is 4 syns so can i have 150g...

Sorry i dont know the answer to your question ( though someone here will ) Your post made me laugh though cos i have one of those! I send him for something and he thinks he is helping by getting something else. Why cant they buy what we ask for. Bless them for trying though lol

Hahaha i suppose not Minimunchkins. I used to do it but you never know if things have changed or not. Thanks

Thanks pommette. To be honest i always stuck to 1 A hex so sont even know why i asked that:rolleyes: I am doing a red day today and i have had my lunch of homemade chicken and veg soup and a sandwich and its 5.30pm and am still not hungry. I bet i will be by 7pm though. I really want egg,chips...

Wish i had that app. Then again i wish i had a good enough phone to get the app in the first place:8855: Do you have to be in class to download it? And would it work on the Galaxy phone cos my hubby has one of those. Am the only tramp in this house with an only messing phone and that was second...

Hi Miss*Kellyxoxo how do you get SW app? Do you have to be a class member to download this?

I weighed in this morning and i lost 3lb. I know am being greedy but i am a little disapointed cos i normaly lose between3-5lb in my first week but STS and second weigh it was 3lb. So that evens out at 1.5lb a week, Wouldnt mind that 1.5lb if i had my normal bigger loss in the first week. Am...

I have tried a few places for wholemeal pasta but can only find whole wheat. Any ideas where i can find it plz

My eyes are red raw looking at my book. After trying EE for 2 weeks i have decided to go back to Original and green. I have the SW food optimising book from last year, apart from pitta's no longer being a HEX B is this book upto date? I have been looking for bread on red or green and it doesnt...

Does this not taste gritty? I have always wanted to try it but thinking it would be has put me off. If not could you tell me the how much quark and sweetener to use plz. Thanks

Oooooo i thought it was 57g. Nice to know i can have 3g more. Might not sound much but i would rather it be in my belly than in the bin lol

This is what is confusing to me about the 20 cal = 1 syn rule cos i would have put the yogurt down as 7 too. On the snackulator does it have the protein and fats and all of that? Cos some choc's and crisps are higher in fat and suger than others but same cals. Am confussed:sigh: Hope am not...

That sounds like she is telling you to use flexi syns. Which is were you give yourself so many extra syns for a night out or special occasion. Personaly i wouldnt have the extra but thats just me. Many people do flexi and it works for them but not me, i just cant get away with it.

Are these still free? Also oxo's. Thanks

Well after staying STS last week i lost 3lb this weigh in. Although its a loss i was expecting more cos last week was my first weigh in and i normally have a big loss. It evens out at 1.5lb a week. If i had a good loss in first week 1.5 wouldnt bother me but i am alittle dissapointed. I think i...

Thanks hun:)

Anyone know where i can get Skinny Cow icecream? I have walk the feet of myself with no luck. I have tried Asda,Tesco,Iceland,Lidl and Aldi. Do i need to try the bigger stores do you think?

I dont know the syn value but i would think they will be quite high because of the skin. I have looked in the book but it doesnt mention chicken wings. Maybe someone can go on lifeline online and find out from there. Sorry i couldnt be more help

sorry i put this in the wrong tread:rolleyes:

I used to get skinny cow icecreams in Lidl but they dont have them now. I have looked in Tesco, Iceland,Asda,Cool trader, Heron and Aldi but i cant find them. Anyone know where else i can try?

I love these! Has anyone else tried them? They are rice snacks and come in flavours Sweet Chilli and Salt and Vinager. I much prefere these to the Special K Crisps which i didnt think much of to be honest. They are in a long packet and have 4 sections. One section = 5 syns. The sweet chilli are...

It was soooooo scrummy and worth the 13 1/2 syns. I have some syns left over from yesterday so might treat myself to one for tonight while watching telly:gimi:

Hi well done on your 3lb weight loss and for staying the same when you couldnt get your shopping. I hate it when there is nothing in for us and you have to go and get it but once done it feels great to have the choice. I am having my syns daily at the min but feb is a really bad month for me to...

Great its my fav flavour and yes i aways make it with water cos when you have added anything else you cant tell the difference. Thanks :)

Is that for defo? I hope so cos i have just eaten one. The one i have just eaten doesnt say high veg, Does it have to be high veg for it to be free?? thanks

Hi Erica. I weighed in at 11st 7lb and i want to get to 8st 7lb so i just need to chip away stone by stone. Not a good start for me am afraid. It was my first weigh in today and i have stuck to plan 100% and stayed the same. Am a bit gutted but am pushing on hoping to have a bigger loss next...

Hi SCZ0090. Did you join your class?? If so how are you finding it? I bet after doing the Cambridge diet you feel like your in pure heaven. I would advise to get plent of fruit and veg, lean meats,pasta,potaoes. As drumsrevolver said there is a thread on here that has recipes if you look on...

Jomccrea try not to let it get you down, you have done better than me cos it was my first weigh in too and i stayed the same. Yeah i was gutted but i am hoping if i stick to it this week i will see a good loss next weigh in. Just write today off and start again tomorrow better to have 6 days in...

Thanks Pommette and first i would like to say a big well done for reaching your target :clap:and am sure you will get that 3/4lb off in no time at all. Lots of people say that the hard work begins when you hit target and have to stay there but you seem to be keeping a very close eye on it which...

Anyone know the syns for around 25g of parmesan please?

Thanks Bellybling, am not gonna let it put me off this week but if it happens again, then i might have to look at going back to red and green. When i tried EE last yr i did lose but it was quite slow. Oh well lets just see what next weigh in brings. Hope you are happy with your weigh in this week :)

I am doing it from home and have been 100% and i stayed the same,this has never happened to me before on my first week but am gonna stick to it this week in hope that it will shift next week. Stick to it and you might have a big loss next weigh in. Good luck :)

Fruit polo's are 144 cals i syned them at 7 -1/2 as i like to syn up instead of down ( makes me feel safe this way lol) But i would highly recommend as they have lasted me 2 days and thats me being greedy because they are sweet and if i wasnt such a greedy guts they would defo last 3 days. They...

Thanks for the reply Welshtigger. I have just noticed that its 89 cals for half the bag ( 20g ) So am thinking that would be 4 and a half, is this right. Am very new to the 20 cals = 1 syn. Did everyone find this out in class?

Hi Jaq it says Per 100g 3.9 but on the back it says british pork mince less than 4.5% fat so does this mean i can eat it as free on EE. Thanks for your help

Oops sorry i really should read the posts properly, sorry about that :rolleyes:

Hi Patchworkpuss, I also have noticed that that in my food optimising book ( which was bought last yr though) it says you can have a 60g Co-op wholemeal pitta bread. Has this been changed for 2013 or was it changed before hand? I always used the sainsburys ones when they first took them off a...

Thanks for getting back to me on that Midnightprincess. Thats good news as i had already eaten it by the time i read this. I did have the 100ml so am well in as i have not eaten any of my syns today. I am not at class at the min which makes it really hard as i dont have the online to look up...

Hi all. Are they still free? I am not in class at the minute so dont have the syns calculator, could someone please check them for me as i love them!! And also can you just snack on them on Extra Easy or do you have to have them as a meal? I used to love to snack on them on a red day. Thanks:)

Pos bird, the soup i made was a really simple one. I just skinned some chicken drumsticks and thighs and then cut off the excess fat if there is any. I left a little longer than needed to cook the meat cos i wanted to get a richer stock from the bones too. Take the peices from the pan and let...

Thanks Jezzi999. Its so tasty and filling so its good to know that its syn free especially in this weather lol.

I made chicken soup from drumsticks and thighs but before i boiled them i removed all the skin and trimmed the fat, I also have the special jug that has the spout at the bottom so if there was any remaining fat it goes to the top. My question is would my soup be free if using the homemade stock...

Thanks Lonestitcher. WOW thats an awful lot:cry:It is the takeway range, I was wondering if when on a green day if the meat in it could be used as a healthy extra? And then that would make it 4.5 syns Oh noooo i dont think i could live without this meal now but saying that i wouldnt give 9 syns...

I too find that if you put the chips in the mic instead of parboiling they crisp up better and are also quicker to brown. I do parboil my roasties and then i use the back of a teaspoon to smear chicken bovril over the tops of them and then spray with frylight and then put them in the oven until...

I used to use the toffee mullerlight and although they tell you not to squash a banana as then it is syns, i used to and then mix it with the yogurt and then put them in the moulds. I think they syn them cos you could be eating loads but its only one and it never stopped me losing weight. Toffee...
