Thanks a million. So I don t have to have the third with syns,only free foods. Thank you for clarifying that.

Hi. I would be grateful for clarification on this! I joined SW this week having followed it for a year at home. I understand the one third superfree with meals. However,my consultant says you have to have one third superfree with EVERYTHING you eat. As in if you have a bag of crisps,you must...

In what context have you heard or read people using ' I weight'??? Never once read anything like that!

Yeah mine were whoppers like that too. And fed constantly!! Hence the reason I mentioned needing the extra 2,000 a day.....lol. Yum!

Im fairness with the extra HEXs and 2 or 3 bananas and constant fruit you must be just maintaining your weight? As in you only need about 200 extra calories a day when feeding. Now I know they say this but when I was feeding I felt like I needed an extra 2,000 calories a day!!!!!LOL! I know SW...

Hi Sarah I long term BF my 5 kids and I found I could not lose the last stone until I weaned them. People used to say the body holds on to some fat and for me it was definitely true. Also I think that 6 HEs is too much. Once your body gets used to BF you only need about an extra 200 calories...

Was reading your posts during the week and was going to post to say you should definitely call target but did not want to intrude. I think when you have had a weight problem it is very important not to get carried away and end up putting it back on because you over focus on losing a last 3...

That's the recipe!! Thank you so much. Just out of interest where did you find it? I cannot remember where I saw it but was last week. Thanka again.

Hi I read a recipe somewhere for Veg Pakoras. They were made with potatoes,mixed frozen veg and curry powder. Anyone habe any idea what recipe I mean or where I might get it?? Am almost sure it was a SW recipe but can't find it on this site. Many thanks.

Thank you!

Hi Can anyone tell me what percentage fat natural yogurt qualifies as 'free'? Many thanks.

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive reply! I really appreciate that. I think you make a good point about just trying to be healthy rather than sticking to a specific syn amount! Many thanks again.

How do you cope if you go away for the weekend? I know about Flexi Syns but I find it hard to set a realistic amount. And then hard to keep track of. Then I just get fed up with trying to count at all because I reckon it is pointless as have had so many syns anyway!! I am only 2 pounds above...

I watch it sometimes but I think it is pretty silly. I mean what is the point of forcing skinny undereaters to face into massive plates of curry and chips or whatever awful food the overweight person likes to down? I think it is purely for entertainment purposes and fail to see what the...

Yeah I find 'Extra Easy' ' Quite Difficult'!! I love green and always have all my healthy extras. I struggle with EE because my A choice is always milk and I tend to have a sandwich for lunch meaning I have no Alpen bars for snacks!

Sorry am confused. I thought baked beans were a free food? Not a Healthy Extra?

Thank you! I feel the plan is so super healthy though that I could try incorporating some extra syns. Will start with the HEB so. Thanks again.

Could anyone tell me how many syns you have when maintaining? I know it will be different for everyone but can anyone tell me what has worked for you? Thank you!

Thank you both very much!

Hi Apologies if I have missed it but is there a section dedicated to maintaining weight with SW? I know there is a general maintenance section on the site but I would love to get some tips from maintainers doing SW. Anyone know? Many thanks!

Sorry I just felt a bit small there when you replied...I understood lean to be extra lean if you know what I mean!! I am at target so not that bothered about the exact content but just did not want to be misleading others on the site. Thanks anyway!!

Yes I know it's meant to be less than 5 percent fat!!! It was.

Yes I used the lean mince and I always put a huge salad of tomatoes and cucumber under my meal. It was really gorgeous. I greedily had 2 portions. I thought it might be dry but it wasn't at all. Had leftovers for lunch today. Yum!!

I think this is Free on EE if you use Fry Light? Made it this evening and it is delicious!! Try it. Was easy too. Indian spiced shepherd's pie recipe - Recipes - BBC Good Food

Thank you so much! Great news!!

Does anyone know are spaghetti hoops in tomato sauce a free food-if beans are? Or is there a fibre content issue? Thanks!

Thanks folks. I might try it again!

Thank you. What about Green? Can I have white pasts on that? Sorry for all the questions!

Thank you so much. My sister just told me she read in her books that on EE it can be white but on red and green it has to be wholemeal!! I panicked.

Could anyone tell me should all pasta and rice on the plan be wholemeal??? Thanks!

Can I just ask those of you who are at or near target-did you manage to do it while still having big portions,all your syns etc or did you have to reduce even free foods to get the last few pounds off? I only have a few pounds to lose now and am loving this plan but cannot see myself reaching...

Wow that is just amazing!! Very well done. Out of interest can I ask you have you continued to eat well right down to that weight? I would imagine if I was as light as that I would hardly be able to eat at all without gaining so am wondering did the SW plan see you right the way down to that...

How can Mikado be half a syn?? Are they ten calories?? Sorry am new to this. Or do you have different Mikado in the UK???

I am in Dublin. Loving this plan so much. Only folllowing it from home but I think it is brill. Have lost the excess stone in the last 2 months but could do with losing a few more pounds. Am a gold member of WW but could not get back within range following my last baby so decided to try SW...

I have done both and am actually a lapsed Gold Member of WW but have to say I find SW WAY better. I am a healthy eater but a very big eater and I think SW works best for that. I had been having major trouble sticking within my points at WW. Yet have almost lost all my excess weight now following...

Thank you both!

I have heard about Syn Free Hummous but I thought you had to 'syn' chickpeas if you blend them? Same as fruit? Anyone know? Thanks!

Thank you all so much for all your help. Have lost 3 pounds my first week so must be doing something right! You have all been very helpful,thanks again.

THank you both. I think I will pop along to a meeting next week.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Trying to do it from home. Not sure if it's possible! THanks again

Hi Would someone be good enough to tell me what some of the more usual Health Extras are on a Green Day? Thanks so much!
