Your day looks pretty good but what are your HEX's? I tend to stick to weetabix or Alpen Light Bars! My dairy is normally milk as in tea and cereal! xx

How funny that we are both doing! I did 10 days of Level one and starting level 2 yesterday! So day 2 of it today - have to fit in late this evening after a pub quiz but determined to do! So far I am not sure if working - maybe a little bit tighter around tummy and arms are definately stronger...

Hi Sculls, Nice to hear from you. I am into exercising and this definately increases my appetite. I am currently doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred which is 20 mins a day and trying to go to the gym 2-3 times in week to a class or to do some cardio. I think I just lost way a bit and...

Ooh sounds interesting! I always struggle with drink! Not enough water daily as I love tea! If I exercise I tend to manage 2 litres but if not I have to force! Also alcohol - I don't go out often! Maybe once to twice a month but 2 glasses and 10 syns gone! I am out for anniversary and having to...

Glad you have found a healthy way :) And you have made me think ... Slimming World works so maybe I just need to pay more attention! I hate calorie counting! ;)

Maybe we can help each other with ideas then :) I think for me Slimming World is great and certainly the only way I have ever lost the weight and a very healthy way to do but now I am closer to where I want to be harder to maintain! I am thinking of following it as usual but for a while...

It is the hardest part! I think for me I got too relaxed and need to start logging to ensure I am not missing anything! It is definately harder when so close - keep going :) My problem is I have a very healthy appetite - I eat one meal and am instantly thinking about the next!!

Hi All, This site really helped me to get to a weight I was happy with last summer and I maintained this until Christmas! Now I fell off the wagon and despite doing lots of exercise in the last couple of weeks I am still 5lb up on that weight! I have decided that I will make a food diary on...

I was wondering if anyone can help with Browns syns. I am going tonight and thinking of having one of the following: Braised Shoulder of Welsh Lamb 16.95 with a casserole of pearl barley, spinach, root vegetables and broad beans Grilled Breast of Chicken 12.45 topped with prosciutto and...

Wow love them - just got 2 packs for £2 at Asda so I bought 16! Problem is my boyfriend has decided he likes too haha! Great price and great flavours :) :)

Sorry and thanks :)

Thank you - do you think if I remove the syn I could remove some syns????? I think I am having 2 haha! Maybe 2 at that if try and remove skin and marinade??? xx

I am doing Slimming World on my own now and wondered if anyone would help me calculate some BBQ chicken. It may be in the Slimming World tool already as Tesco BBQ Sweet Chilli Chicken thighs. You get 4 so about 185g per thigh as whole box is 700g. If not here are the details in case anyone...

I will take a look at them - It is mainly as on a budget though :( And as soon as have a "name" more money!!!! :(

Thanks :)

Thank you for looking anyway :) I think I may count all as 2 in the hope that that is the average for them all! They are quite nice and will eat them anyway x Does anyone else have the calculator? I think it is because the "Chosen by you" range is fairly new but where "low" fat not fat free I...

I have bought some different yogurts from Asda as I am fed up of paying way too much for Muller Lights so will take a few syns and save a few pennies!!! Does anyone mind calculating for me? :) I am no longer online as at target and doing for myself! I will put details per 125g serving...

I think I have bought these! I am fed up of paying way too much for Muller Lights so will take a few syns! Do you mind calculating for me? :) I am no longer online as at target and doing for myself! I will put details per 125g serving Peach Calories - 108 Fat - 1.8 Protein - 5 Carbs - 17.9...

Thanks Lucia x I just got home. It was lovely. I had the steak with a side of carrots and sorbet :) I didn't ask for oil removed so i will count as 10 syns I think as didn't seem too oily. Was delicious! Well done on your weight loss btw :)

It doesn't actually say chips but I saw a piccie which had them! I will ask when there - may be perfect! As long as under 10 I am happy as my goal this week is each day under :) Yey I am looking forward to now :)

I think I will just get it and replace chips - or offer them on table and order a side salad extra! I am having no syns today and have decided that am working syns day to day as last few lbs are taking forever to come off so as long as under 15 I will be OK :) Thanks for your help :)

Damn I think comes with chips! I have planned no syns all day but I think with chips will take me mega over!?!??!?! I wonder if they would swap for a salad???? xxx

I am going tonight and thinking of getting: FLASH-GRILLED FEATHER STEAK £13.35 British beef pounded with sage & prosciutto, served with spicy tomato salsa How would you all syn this? Or if anyone knows a better option - please advise :)

Does anyone know syns in wrap? I am going tonight (EE) and thinking ham, turkey, beef with over a 3rd superfree salad and sweet onion sauce at 2 syns. Will this be 11 syns if go wheat or Italian bread? Will a wrap be better or worse?

I am going to Windsor tomorrow and have looked up menu! There are so many so I am pretty confused! Anyway on the lunch and supper menu: http://www.browns-restaurants.co.uk/static/ugc/menus/2011/10/18/8-lunch-and-supper-menu.pdf ...there is Grilled fillet of sea bass with wilted spinach and...

Thanks for all your replies :) I have 80g today with my homemade sauce x What I have done is made loads but fairly plain and each day I can add different herbs and I am going to freeze in portion sizes so if I do have every day may taste slightly different or have with chicken instead but...

How do you find WW compared to Slimming World? I am just intrigued as I think from what I can tell SW is better :) I like that never run out of "points" so if hungry don't feel bad eating! I do a lot of exercise so love that can eat when hungry as long as wise about choices I make x

Thanks both of you :)

Now I know that pasta (wheat in my case) is unlimited as long as I have a third superfree but I wondered what kind of portions others have? I make up a sauce with tinned toms, carrots, onions, mushrooms, garlic and herbs etc and normally have between 60-100g of pasta. Is that a lot???? I was...

I just had the 2 finger caramel kit kat and at 5.5 syns - only 107 calories it is AMAZING!!! Kinda like a less sickly caramac! Had to tell someone haha! xxx

PS Well done on your weight loss! Incredible amount!!! :)

Thank you! I feel lots better for knowing that someone agrees! I will leave as I quoted it as 10 max and I will certainly be picking that again as was delicious!

Anyone? I am planning to not have any syns today unless I am confident that last night was below 10!!! :)

Last night I ate out and had planned to have the Lamb Rogan Josh with boiled rice at 6.5 syns but when I got there it said as hot as the Madras and I chickened out! Instead I had Lamb Hasina which was a skewer with lots of veggies (peppers onions etc) and the menu said they use little or no...

Ok - I am going to put 20 syns for the sundae Allow 1 for gravy 5 for roastie and 5 for luck! So it is being logged as 31! If anyone thinks that is too low - or even better - too high! Let me know! :)

Hello other Slimming World members, I need your advice! I am eating out tonight at an Italian and I was thinking of going for the pasta or the risotto. Now I don't tend to make risotto for myself so this is my preference at the moment. There are 2 choices on the menu I think must be OK (ish)...

Ooh defo going to try this - would be perfect for lunch at work when it is miserable outside!!! :)

I love the Harvester and always end up there when me and my friends want to go to dinner! I think even if potatoes are oiked (which I hope they are not) it is one of the best options for eating out! I will ask next time I go ... if they are then boiled potatoes with no butter it is!!!

Well you are back and can go for it this week :) My friend took 2 weeks off and went on holiday and put on 3.5 ... then within 2 weeks she had lost again. If not gone to Slimming World she would have either stayed the same or kept gaining! When I go on holiday later this year I plan to eat and...

Hi sorry I disappeared I could not get to our thread and had to email admin to find for me! How did you get on on Monday? I lost 1lb last week which is OK - as long as I lose 1+ I am happy :D

Hello Everyone I need help! I am going to Prezzo tonight and want to have the best option. The only thing I don't want is pasta as I am having for lunch! I have found that the Chicken Bacon and avavado salad seems quite a good option as found these details : Serving Size: 1 order, Calories...

I may ask in class about! How have you done so far with weight loss and how much more do you want to lose? The other thing I am trying this week is drinking loads of water. Leader has been saying if have 6 litres a day it helps speed up weight loss! But can only be water with nothing added! I...

Thanks ... I haven't got any of the books but am tempted. Have you ever tried 12 week countdown? Keep looking at it. I make pasta a lot for work... I normally have plain and then bring a stock cube with me and sprinkle on after heated up - tastes like a pot noodle - and have with lots of salad...

I do like curries as long as not too spicy ... did you see the one in the magazine 2 months back. It was 1.5 syns a serving as has coconut milk in but I have been making without so syn free and it is delicious! If not seen I will send to you... I cook for me and my boyfriends and we have a lot...

Will do :) I feel having someone to speak to about it will also mean I annoy family and friends less and you will know what I am talking about when say things like "syns" and "superfree" :) What plan do you follow? I do extra easy... haven't taken the time to understand red or green!

Great :) Are you doing Slimming World too?

Diet buddy wanted to help progress ... and to help with ideas Hi I have lost 10lb since the end of May with Slimming World and I want to lose another stone. I exercise a far bit and exercise alone has never shifted the weight so after a friend did well with Slimming World I joined! I am...

Hi I came on to ask about this and you all seem as confused as me :S My fella picked this up and I said would eat tonight but thought I would have to save all my syns for. Like you say the website does not list cheese and says free so I used the calculator and put all info in (I listed gammon...

Thanks, Glad that I saved my syns for this meal! Also glad to hear that didn't go over 10. It is annoying that if at home could have eaten for "free" but never mind eh :jelous: Thanks again xxx

Tonight I went to the Harvester and had the lamb steak with a jacket potato, peas and grilled tomato and lots if salad. I asked for mint sauce so the calories were not on menu. How would you all count this as I am not sure if I am undercounting and don't want to mess up my whole week! I have...
