Hi Chelsea, All I do is slice up potatoes into wedges, Par Boil for about five - seven minutes, let them sit for about 5 minutes then shake them up in the pan to rough up the edges. I chuck them on a tray, spray with frylight and then add spices. You can add whatever you like but I use...

Havent been on for a couple of days but I can honestly say I have been angelic, no syns consummed at all for the past few days and its weigh in tomorrow. I'm hoping for a couple of lbs to come off so that I can get my first mini target, fingers crossed

Hi Charley, thanks for coming to say hello and your lovely comments, you made me blush :) I'm doing fine, don't see the point in giving up for 1 nights debauchery lol. You have to try the smash chicken, I hate smash but it was soooo good! Xx

Well I fell off the wagon royally at the weekend!! Saturday through the day, I was fine, no bother, then my best mate came up and we went to the pub, ended up having MacDonalds and a shed load too much booze! Add to that Bacon rolls yesterday and I think I have used all my weekly syns in the...

Had neither of my planned ones below. Ended up with diced pork, peppers, loads of mushrooms and a little rice, really tasty x

I've not heard of that but I will hunt for it now :) thanks xx

2.5lbs for me :) x

I ended up with a weird one today, I got a bag of express boiled rice, got a chicken stock cube and dissolved it in a small amount of boiling water, mixed in the rice and some cold chicken breast, was very tasty! Then had a mullerlight and a nectarine. :)

Hi Amanda, welcome to the club! Personally I'm finding this better than going to group because you can speak to people all day every day if needs be where group is only once a week. I've only been on here a week or so and everyone is really friendly and helpful, couldnt ask for a better group...

Well I weighed myself this morning and I was both ecstatic and slightly hacked off too! I lost another 2.5lbs but typically its that time of the month which means I havent lost as much as I thought. So I am pleased with the loss but a wee bit disappointed it wasnt as much as I had hoped. That...

2.5lbs off for me :D

lunch ended up being a mugshot and a small pack of ham, an apple and a nectarine. I also have a couple of apples on my desk to nibble this afternoon if I get peckish. Starting to get excited about tomorrow, if I havent lost I am going to be seriously gutted! I might not of been a complete...

I ended up with a mugshot, some ham and a variety of fruit, Tesco didnt have any past and sauce or low fat supernoodles :(

I didnt know they did low fat! I'll have a wee look in Tesco's, if not, its back on the mugshots :) Thanks :) x

I really fancy Supernoodles, are the syn free? x

Hi Kim, This is about the 3rd time I've done it but I am going it alone this time. Or at least that was the theory till I found this group! I started when I was married, lost a fair bit of the "being married and comfortable" weight, then put a bit back on, then kicked him out, lost a load in...

Breakfast and morning snacks for today. 2 Muller Lights - Free Box of grapes - Free (picked at from my desk during the morning) 1 nectarine Not sure on lunch yet, and I am saving my HEXB and HEXA for later. As I am weighing in tomorrow I intend to have a 100% syn free day today, dinner we are...

Hi Kim, Thanks for the welcome, I cant wait to post this week. I did a half week weigh in last week because I only started on Bank Holiday Monday and weighed on Friday, had a little loss but this is the first full week and all in all I have been pretty good so I am hoping! x

Hi Everyone, For lunches I'd thought about having supernoodles or cheap equivalent, can anyone tell me what the syn values are? I only really like the chicken or chicken curry ones. Thanks x

morning fairypop, good luck with it all, you'll be on the way in no time and meet some lovely folks along the way :) x

I am weighing myself on Fridays, like Kim, first thing in the morning but I have my PJ's on which are nice and light. I think as long as you keep what you wear constant you will get a constant result. Good luck for everyones weigh ins, mine is tomorrow - EEK! x

1 day till weigh in, this will be my first full week and I am excited but nervous too! Weighing in at home :) x

Just finished dinner, burgers and chips with salsa and salad, all free and all yummy. My OH is loving all the dishes I'm cooking :) x

Tesco, mugshots, are 2 for a squid x

Just make sure you mix it in with the spices and coat the chicken in a beaten egg first, spray fry light on the tray and the fry light on the top and they crisp up really well :) Well from your signature you seem to be doing really well and I think the bank holiday will have a lot to answer for...

hi Bucksfizz, apologies, I replied to you yesterday but it hasnt shown up on the thread, I'm going to make the quiche tomorrow night and the lasagne on Sunday, they are lovely and so filling and tasty! I ended up having chilli last night, very nice :) xx

Thats great news on the car boot thing, mustve felt like a little windfall and I'm sure that in itself would have made you feel better. It's funny how things can turn round in a matter of minutes and you should definitely add it to your positives for today. I love the linen feeling too and...

Hi Corblimey, I am enjoying the plan and I am feeling really focussed and "with it". I'm sure I'll fall off the wagon a couple of times but I'll get straight back on! I adore the Alpen Lights Summer Fruit, I'm not a huge bread eater so I tend to have 2 a day as my HEXB, (sometimes 3 if I...

Hi ChunkyMama, Well you have come to the right place! First of all SW is fabulous because of the choice and the minimal counting but most importantly, even if you go to group and you get weekly support, the beauty of this forum is you can get support and answers all day every day (as well as...

Hey Eaten, Sorry you arent having too good a day today, life is very frustrating at times and I know how you feel when it comes to affording things (thanks to a sod of an ex husband). Sometimes the best thing to do is cry, it gets it all out and refreshes you, I know it helps me when I feel...

Welcome to all you lovely newcomers and good luck on your travels, looking forward to chatting with you x

Does anyone have a syn free or low syn recipe for macaroni cheese? x

Just realised I hadnt updated yesterday. Breakfast muller light yoghurt small box of grapes Alpen lights Lunch mugshot 1 alpen light raspberries muller light Dinner Homemade chilli with rice, LARGE portion of mushrooms on the side HEXA - milk in tea HEXB - 2 alpen lights And so far today...

Hi all, I'm on my own tonight as my OH is away with work and I wondered if anyone had any tasty recipes that they could suggest, either syn free or very low syn Thanks :) x

Ooo let us know how that one goes, sounds interesting x

Dammit! Me too but I don't have an ASDA close by :(

I can confirm, they were AMAZING! I made mine very spicy but wow are they good and you don't taste the smash at all, just do it and don't tell the OH :) x

Thanks debtin, I actually feel it, feeling really good about it and myself. Hope it lasts! :) x

I chose Fridays so if I'm a little bit naughty at weekends, usually the beers, the I have 5 or 6 days to be angelic :) x

Ok, the rest of today I had Lunch Baked tattie and beans with a little butter 5.5 Syns Alpine light (other half of HEXB) Used my HEXA on milk for my tea. Dinner Chicken breast rolled in spices and smash and salad, cucumber, lettuce, onion, beet root and tomatoes. Total Syns for the day - 5.5...

I'll let you know in about an hour, I'm not telling OH that it's smash, see what he says lol x

It is! I should be ok tonight, going to make some crispy chicken and salad and cous cous so I can throw them in the oven with the chicken :) x

Thought some of you may find this useful, Tesco are offering 2 boxes of Alpen Light bars for £3. Normally £1.99 for 5. I seem to be living by them for my HEXB's at the moment (and a low syn snack).

think I will jezzie, I also dont want too heavy a soup when we get into the summer! What sodding summer. Eaten, I like the idea of potato skins, good idea, I might rustle some of them up tonight (if I can be bothered lol) x

lol, Jezzi, its exactly the same, thats what I make but I call it speedy :) Thanks for taking the time though. Might try and come up with my own, I do make very good soup anyway but I want the "speedy" qualities just without the mixed beans and lentils, not a fan. Maybe I just need to throw...

I've had bother with nurses and Docs before too although its on a condition I have, they just wouldnt listen to me for nearly 20 years, ridiculous. Took me so long to actually get the care I need on a permanent basis, when you find the right one, it makes all the difference. I'm just so glad...

Hi Eaten, I was wondering how you got on. I am so pleased for you and so glad that your nurse is so nice and understanding, it seems that she really wants to help you get to the bottom of this without throwing every pill under the sun at you. Fantastic news on your loss too, half a stone in a...

jezzi, whats Dyno-Rod soup? I love the idea of having it with pasta too, hadnt thought of that x

I've just had a baked tattie with beans in the microwave and a dod of butter 5.5 syns for the butter. But I havent any syns planned for tonight or tomorrow so I allowed myself a little treat :)

Hi all, I spotted a recipe in another thread that uses smash flakes to make a crispy coating on chicken, sounds amazing! So I wondered what the value of Smash is, was thinking I might make it tonight and make some chips to go with it and some beans :)

Can I ask if this is syn free? It sounds yummy! x

Thanks B, much appreciated! Think its safe to say, I'd better count it as 5.5, :D it's just too tasty

Just wondered if anyone knew the syns in butter, I'm having baked potato and beans for lunch but a baked tattie just isnt the same without a knob of butter or two :) I'm at work and finishing off the tub I have in the fridge which is lurpak. Much appreciated

Monday going well so far, half way down my 2 litre bottle of sparkling water and I've had 2 muller light yoghurts apple grapes 1 Alpine light summer fruit (half of my HEXB) Cup of tea (milk from allowance) Lunch, I am planning baked potato and beans, all free plus a little bit of butter but I'm...

Hi knee high, great loss so far! Well done x

Hi there, go to slimming clubs, there's a whole SW section :) Good luck from this side of the pond x

I may have to look at this plan thing, at least buy the hardy food and maybe buy the veg etc as I need it. I can see why it would be a big help and stop straying. I'm hoping for a really good week this week, I am on a mission, have my head on straight and looking to kick some butt (preferably...

Hi Victoria, I'll check back with you in a few days, the posts rack up quite quickly. I havent been planning or keeping a proper food diary, apart from on here but it would probably help to have it on my computer too. Then I can check back if I cant remember syn values :) Hope the week is...

Morning! I wouldnt worry at all, what I dont have down on the diary is the amount of fruit, veg etc that I am eating. I'm sitting at my desk at the moment with a massive bowl of grapes and to pick at through the day. As you long as you are picking at fruit and not reaching for the biscuits...

8 to go that's fab, well done you. No, no plan, I buy as I go, hunt for new recipes at lunch then buy it on way home, not the best way but only me and OH at home and things go to waste otherwise. Do plans really work? X

Pencil

That is very true, you'll know who your true friends are. Please let me know how tomorrow goes, sending you lots of luck and hugs :) x

Final update for today, dinner was stir fried pork loin with rice, egg, peppers, mushrooms and soy sauce. As far as I know, I've had no Syns today and used my healthy extras too. Drank my 2 litres of water and generally been a very good little badger. Here's hoping I can be good for the rest of...

Regain friends and find some new ones too :D x

My mouth is watering already! Thank you :D sounds yummy x

Nope but I know Gretna very well, I'm from Dumfries. It is lovely

I love the Harvey ads and the EDF ads, he's called Zingy :)

Hi Monky, Im new too so although I can't give you advice as such, I just browsed through everything and got stuck in. There are threads for every diet you can think of which is a good place to start. Hope it's going well so far for you :) x

I love stuff like this, I have a few but my favourite was waking up being given a massage by my spirit guide, could see the finger indentations on my arms. Might sound weird but very comforting

From Dumfries but live in Surbiton, Surrey now

Wool

I hae to admit, it looked pretty vile all in the pot but once it gets going its fine. Like I say, I blended mine which made a difference, tastes good though. Or you could make your own super speedy soup with all the SS veg :)

Oh wow that sounds Amazing! Yes please! I think with all diets it can become obsessive, you just have to keep feet planted, I think SW allows for more naughtiness which is why it works so well as you aren't denying as much x

That's how I feel, girls at work are doing the celebrity slim thing but I declined. I have to eat as I take regular medication and for me, if I go slow and steady I keep it off. I lost really fast a couple of years ago, stone and a half in 3 weeks but was going through my marriage breakdown and...

Hi Amelie, Thank you and thanks for replying, I hadn't expected any! I try to stick to free as much as possible but I do try and syn every day or evey second day too. I don't particularly like chocolate so no worried there but I love crisps so avoiding them like the plague. This recipe may sound...

Hey Paula, well done so far, I agree, this is a fab site, looking forward to getting to know you. I'm doing SW too but at home on me Todd, groups around here are at weird times and I commute into town everyday so hard to get to. I thought coming on here could be my group :) xx

So far today (Sunday) I've had omelette with a small amount of cheese and bacon (no fat) and some brown bread for breakfast an some soup for lunch. Will update dinner later but so far so good :)

I have to say, I started drinking 2l of water or sparkling water a day on Monday and I've noticed a huge difference, feel fresher, less tired, better skin and feel flushed out, I think it all helps put together :) x

Thanks Bobbi, you too :) x

Hi folks, I'm a SW at home girl too, there's is a thread for us lot to use. Hopefully we can all help each other get to where we want to be, I need to shift 30lbs but will be happy with even 20! Here's to a successful few weeks xx

Hi Smurfette, Good on you for picking yourself up an getting back on track, best of luck :) x

Can I join in? Im weighing in on a Friday too, doing SW but at home. Started on Monday last week, weighed myself Friday, 2.5lbs gone :) . Hoping for the same if not more this week. X

Hi KH21, good luck, hope it's going well so far x

Im glad it's going well, that's a fab loss so far and not far to go, well done! I want to get 2 stone off, lost 2.5lbs in 5 days and I sneakily weighed myself this morning and have gone down a wee bit again, not recording it till my Friday weigh in though, but it has given me a boost to stick...

Your spreadsheet sounds brilliant, really good idea. Good luck with it all and keep us posted x

Hi Cat, Thanks for the tips, not mean at all, everything helps. :) I've had normal meals as well as my soup and it is working. Hope all is going well on yours :) x

Love it! May have to try that :) x

Well we will all be here if you do, although nobody feels exactly like you, I'm sure a lot of us can empathise, so much goes hand in hand. Let us know how you get on x

Hi Mrsgersh, good luck :) I only Started using the site a few days ago and I love it, big help already. I'll look forward to chatting x

Hey there, just read your post and wanted to say good for you for getting it off your chest and acknowledging it. I agree, there is no shame in claiming, that's what it's there for. I really hope you start to feel better soon, and when you need a rant go for it, it does help getting it all out. X

That's an amazing loss, well done! X

What do you mean IRS? Sorry I'm very new, still working it all out

I've done both but I really didnt like WW, I lost weight on it but I really didnt have the time to weigh things out and count up my points. I find it easier on SW as I know what my free foods are, can fill myself up during the day and then count my syns out at the end of the day. For my...

I havent said hello here yet, still trying to workout where to go but I am covering all avenues :) So coming on here to introduce myself properly, I'm Kate, I'm 33 and I live in Surrey. I lost about a stone on SW last year and came off it for a while but thankfully havent put the weight back...

I'm still trying to get my head round it but I am planning to do the 1/3 Super free with each meal. But I am also not worrying too much if I have had my superspeedy soup at lunch time as there is so much in that. Planning on living on that most of the weekend, give myself a bit of a boost...

Dammit, I did it again, put it in the wrong place! Sorry folks, if I knew how to delete it I would and move it.

Although I have only started this week I really wanted to throw myself into this forum wholeheartedly and use all the tools and support on offer. So I thought I would jump on the band wagon and set up my very own diary. I am sure it wont be very interesting and I wont always update every day...

Well a little update from me. I started half heartedly following SW from Monday, and started in earnest on Wednesday. I decided Friday mornings would be my weigh in so that if I am naughty over the weekend, I have time to behave myself again ;) Anyhoo, I decided just for a laugh, I weighed...

Thanks BlondeGem, I know it does so I cant wait to get started properly. Look forward to posting more and becoming part of the group as a whole :)

I'm in Surbiton :)

Well Done liliferjade, thats brilliant! Whats your secret? I need losses like that every week :p

Thought I would stop by and say hello. I joined months and months ago but forgot I had and stumbled across the site again today. I'm Kate, I'm 33 and live in Surrey, and today I decided to get moving again on the Slimming World diet in time for my brothers wedding in August. I dont have a...

Hi Everyone, How glad am I that I found this site and this thread. I have done SW before and was really successful on it, havent actually put any of the weight back on but fell off the wagon for a bit. I really want to get moving again, my brother is getting married in August and its given me...
