I use EE hex a and b and if the syns differ on green and red, I use the higher syn value.

Had a maintain but was happy as it was my son's birthday! Hope everyone is prepared for Christmas........

Sorry that wasn't very clear. I'd have one a and one b a day unless I was doing success express for the three meals in the dat.

I only have two HEX if I was doing it for three meals a day. Otherwise I syn extra bread, milk etc

You must have been really good the rest of the week. Well done!

I tend to do success express only for lunch and dinner. I just like a good breakfast and always eat super free with it. I've had good weight losses doing this. 4 and 5lb a week.

There a quite a few people in our group who have been on the receiving end of comments like this. Just jealous and bitter they are. You really just want to give nasty people a good slap!

I love Gammon and egg loaf that was in one of the magazines. Cooked gammon, beaten eggs, cooked mushrooms and peppers and any other veg you fancy, seasoned and put in the oven til set in a loaf tin. Delicious hot or cold!

Hi all. I haven't been on Minimins for a wee while but I'm back now! Hope you have a great week.

Oh my 12 weeks ended last Monday! Have to buy another now!

: Well done! :happy096

-0.5lb off this week. I should have been better but I know I had a few things I shouldn't have. Speed foods this week methinks! At least it is a loss!

Oh very nice!

There are a lot of people in my group who go to zumba and they say it's brilliant fun. Think I'm a bit too unco-ordinated for that though! I like my Monday WI as it gives me a start to the week. And it's morning so I always think I'll weigh lighter then! LOL And all the best for your 2st award...

Topaz13 you've made me think, I wonder what I'll do in the summer when my kids are off??? I need my SW image therapy fix on a Monday morning! :)

I love mushrooms so much I usually get a catering crate at the cash n carry when I'm there. I'll be having a go at some of these recipes, Thanks very much!

Must get some of them!

Lovely recipe. I'll add mushrooms too coz I love them!

Thanks I'm always on the lookout for more lunch ideas!

I always mix some fat free fromage frais in the potato to make it seem creamier and then add whatever you fancy with it. I'm a beans and cheese baked spud gal!

Rice pudding.......Yum I love the jelly sweets. My kids love them too so I've to make two sachets worth now. Good for them too.

Oh lovely stuff! Yum

I've been eating a lot of speed foods this week and still using most of my syns. WI today I lost 4lb! I was eating grapefruit, garden peas, all kinds of berries, lemon,lime, melon, scallions, apples, pineapple, tomato, lettuce and others. I rigidly stuck to at least 1/3 superfree. Must keep it...

Had a great week last week, lost 4lb and got my 2st award today! I'm majorly delighted!

I've been very good this week so I'm hoping for more than 0.5lb off! And it was my son's birthday too

I agree with Mizkirsty. I have had a slowdown in the past few week when I've been exercising more and I can feel the difference in my muscles that have built up a little due to the exercise. I think it is more if you haven't really exercised before starting SW.

:happy096: Well done you!:D

LOL I had this conversation with my hubby too! ;)

Hope it went well! :D

Great losses everyone! Well done!

I don't trust the wii fit weight at all. I just use it for stepping mostly now, although I fell out with it when it lost communication with the wii and I hadn't realised and ended up doing about 50 minutes instead of 30!

I've noticed my clothes looser and some don't fit anymore. I think more about what I eat and the smell of the chippy isn't as appealing anymore! LOL

I love Pink lady and I had a Pink blush which was similar but not as good. Honey Crisp are really juicy and lovely. I'm not a Gala fan I'm afraid but I do buy them for the kids. Though they eat my Pink Lady if they can get their hands on them! Don't like Golden Del either. Love Granny Smiths...

We've had chickpea dahl spicy dip with carrot sticks chicken fried rice SW quiche strawberry muffins chocolate cake jelly 'sweets' That's all I can remember. Most recipes are on here somewhere! Hope it helps.

Love the soups! Especially with roasted red pepper. I just peel it with a knife, scoop out seeds and spray with fry light. Not sure how long to roast it.

It was a 0.5lb off for me. At least it was off. It was TOTM, Boo Hiss!!!! Have to exercise more this week as I feel a little more energetic and going to try to eat more speed superfree and free this week. Need to lose more for the slimathon...........

Sounds really good!

I'm doing the Slimathon and I'm a bit scared as I really need to lose on average 2.5lb a week. Hopefully a loss tomorrow morning. I've been a bit lazy this week with the exercise as it is * week. Fingers crossed.....

My consultant had the small tub at around 15 syns but the large one was around 42! And this is before you would add salt or sugar. (I ate these big tubs sweet before I started SW!) They are popped in oil.

My C asks you to bring fruit. Some people bring low or syn free things too.

Hope you do it! :D

I'm always on the look out for something new to try as I'm doing EE too. As I can make some things like burgers and pasta that the family will eat I tend not to experiment too much which can make me really fed up. So I've been making lovely low syn and syn free soups for myself that I can...

I use the wii as well but find sometimes I get a bit obsessed and I'm on it every day. I try to stay off it except for once a week now. I know people who end up weighing themselves everytime they go to the bathroom. It can get a bit obsessive.

That's a great list. I was sitting working them out for ages! :)

It's really good to have support. I go to SW with my best friend who has been trying to get me to go for ages! IT's great on here too. I lose track of time reading all the stuff! You're braver than me going to Zumba. I'm uncoordinated and would be a disaster. Although my friend said it's...

Sometimes you just don't have the same appetite. Or you aren't as active that day so not needing as much to eat. I have been like this and so has my friend.

I kept having my husband tell me in my first week how I'd never loose any weight eating so much. I lost 7lb that week. The main thing is you must stick to the plan. You just need to have faith in it. :)

And breakfast really kicks starts your metabolism. you can feel hungier quicker when you eat breakfast. I guess the superfree helps limit this by still making you feel fuller.

It helps fill you up and uses energy to digest as well as all the vitamins and minerals you get. Fuller for longer because they are high in fibre. May help you eat less at lunch too. Hope this helps!

Yeah, I find the money we used to waste on takeaways now goes on fruit and veg. That can't be a bad thing! :grouphugg:

Congratulations to everyone!:D

I think there was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting made from quark too. 14 1/2 syns for the whole cake.

We had a taster day and someone brought in a lovely dip made with quark and a chilli tomato relish. It worked out quite low in syns for the whole thing. It was really nice with veg sticks. She said you could make it with any relish really. I'd leave it a wee while in the fridge to let the...

My consultant is fab! She really helps with any problems and encourages us. We have a raffle and sometimes have tasters and she tries to bring in new things every week to make us think or have a bit of fun. I wouldn't stay if she wasn't so great. If I have to leave early I get upset! LOL

Congratulations! I got mine on Monday too!

Thanks!

I'm top heavy and always lose weight around my backside and tummy first. I'm still 18/20 on top but 14/16 round waist. I hadn't noticed much difference til I started exercising and the muscles are tightening up. I was shopping and walking along when I couldn't take a proper step. I looked...

My friends always marvel at how I can have a good time without drink. It is up to you what you want to do. Maybe tell them how much it's annoyed you how they are making fun of your decision not to drink. Or go and meet them the next day and laugh very extremely loudly when they are dying with...

Hi folks, I joined SW in January this year and go to the Monday group in Larne. I finally made a proper conscious decision to lose the weight I've hauled round for years. And I'm going on holiday too.... Hope your WIs have been good this week! :)

This is good to know. It's really difficult to find good places to eat out here. Thanks!

A treat size Curly Wurly is 15g and 3.5 syns A standard Curly Wurly is 26g and 6 syns. A favourite indulgence of mine! Glenda
