4.5 syns, using pasta as a free food allowance...

If it's the Cheese and Tomato Pasta Salad in a Tomato and Basil dressing, it's 8.5 on Green and EE, and 27 on Red. If I run the info through the calculator it's the same :) I work out the Sushi Rolls as 2 on EE, as someone posted this photo of the info in a previous post!

Is it these ones? The Nation's Pasta and Sauce: Cheese and Broccoli (made up as directed) EE/Green: 3.5 Red: 26.5 The Nation's Pasta and Sauce: Cheese, Leek and Ham (made up as directed) EE/Green: 2.5 Red: 24 The Nation's Pasta Macaroni Cheese (pot) EE/Green: 5 Red: 18 The...

Ooo Vimto ice lollies are only 2 syns?? I might have to get some of those!

Back to SW, first weigh in after a week on plan and I lost 3lbs :) Well chuffed...

1.5 syns for each Goujon on all plans :)

I can't find anything with turnip in on Syns Online when I search under Asda. Can you post the nutritional info, or say if it's a particular brand?

I don't see them on the online list, but as you can have 40g of the Lighter Mature as an HEA, I don't see why you can't have two of those, as they're 20g each...

Chosen by You Meat Free Bolognese in a can is free on all plans :)

The Asda one has maltodextrin in, and when I run the nutritional info through the calculator it says 2 syns a sachet. If I was you I'd phone the helpline as it might have a free food allowance that it doesn't let me put into the calculator. Syns hotline should know more! I'm pretty sure it'll...

I just don't bother trying to work out syns in cases like this. Just draw a line under it and start again the next day lol

I do this all the time, I get a small soya latte and just HEXA the soya milk :) Means I don't need to be coffee deprived!

When I make veggie lasagne, I use layers of low fat (free) natural cottage cheese. Gives the whole dish a really nice tangy flavour :)

Running that through the syn calculator with yoghurt as a Free Food allowance, it seems it's free all plans :)

The Activia Snackpot is 1/2 syns on all plans :) The ice pops will use the 20cal a syn rule tho...

They're amazing. So much nicer than the original ones :)

Aye, it def says 1/2 syn on syns online! Not as bad as you thought!

The HEXA List on the website doesn't specify sugar free. It just says that you can have 450ml of Alpro's Almond Milk :)

You need to post the protein and carbs content as well. Also can you tell me what the first item listed in the ingredients is, and are you doing a Red, Green, or EE day?

If it's the NuMe one it's 1/2 a syn per tablespoon...

I usually class it as 6 syns, as the pasta and sauce ingredients tend to be free except for the oil. 1 tbsp of oil is an HEXB so you could even have it syn free, although there's no guarantee they used only 1 tbsp! I just say 6 and pray ;)

I agree! How hard can it be to be quiet, not text, not eat, and hold the loo in (medical conditions excepting) for a couple of hours?

I made these tonight and they were amazing. Thanks for the recipe :)

Can't find it on Syns online. Can you post the nutritional info?

Come back sausage!!

I think I'll join you! I'm a slow loser too and have been a bit off track the last couple of weeks. Need to get motivated again but don't know how :(

Thanks! Was just coming in to post this :)

Thanks. A girl's got to try lol

I had it last week and I could taste the chilli. Now, bear in mind that I have a mouth like leather and usually things aren't spicy enough for me, so if I can taste it, it might be a bit hot!

M&S Count on Us Mild Vegetable Curry is free :) I get that sometimes if I'm stuck... And their COU Roasted Vegetable Pasta is only 2 syns. Also their Veggie sushi is one syn... I think I'm an M&S shopper lol :D

Did you set the peas as a free food allowance for Green but not Original?

I miss bread. Really miss bread. Huge baguettes stuffed with brie and grapes. Foccacias. Nan bread. All bread. Having said that, I'm doing well keeping away from it and only using my HEBs for wholemeal toast. Not liking it tho!

Tut away! I need tutting at! how you today? :)

Nooo! I missed it! If it appeared on my side of the city lol. Didn't see anything like that at all and it looked amazing! Good job on the photie :D I see you've been good the last couple of days! I had a moment with popcorn today but other than that I've been fine. Might need you to tut more ;)

Some days I have one, some days two, and some days none at all! Just depends on how I feel :)

Enjoy dinner! Remember and post photies. And it's too bloody cold! Good here, but not so on plan as I had a saag paneer with fried rice and a garlic chappati last night after eating 34 syns at Pizza Hut on Friday. Oh well, onwards and upwards as usual! lol

An M&S stir fry with added quorn and egg noodles :D

Nope. Even with that they're still 2 syns :) 2 Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy 2 Syns per package/portion on Green 7 Syns per package/portion on Original

Hmmm, so the nutritional value on the website I was looking at is completely wrong!!! Eeps! I've been eating them at 2 syns lol

Which one was it? They're all pretty high in syns, with the Korma one at 52 syns for a 425g jar!

I didn't think Koka noodles were as high as that! I worked them out as 2 syns! Even if they are 7 though, it won't ruin you! Just put it behind you and start afresh ready to go on :)

I want to eat your trough!!!

Nope. Both are free :)

:D Same here. I had a gorgeous Saag Paneer with fried rice and a garlic chappati. BIG OOPS! But it was worth it ;) Have to splurge sometimes!

Most days I'm at the lower end, but then I'm a syn saver, as I like having a take-away or a meal out, and can fit it in better that way. I think if you're not hungry then don't use them!

I'm sure I worked these out a while back as 2 syns per pack but can't remember how I did it lol I think I used this info. 2 syns on EE and Green, 7 on Original...

Thank chun-ky! Think I'll def get some of those!

chun-ky, how big are they?

Permanently tired here. But I put it down to depression and anxiety even though I take meds for it, as it wasn't so bad before it kicked in :( Definitely get to the docs tho as it could be any one of a number of things or nothing much at all! Hope your appointment went well!

I'm curious. Do you think the 6 syns are for the oil, and therefore, on a green day you could count that as an HEB?

You can get two from each if you do a green/original day tho :)

This. It's annoying listening to people rustle popcorn and sweets and things! Although I do tend to take in a couple of clementines but they're not noisy ;)

Hmm, well I ran the NI through the calculator, using noodles as a free food allowance for Green days and no free food for Red days and I get this: 14 Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy 14 Syns per package/portion on Green 29 Syns per package/portion on Original Eep!! That's tons!

They're not in the database. Can you post the NI?

Sending happy well vibes, sausage! *hugs*

Ainsley Harriot Lenti Dahl with some Brown Basmatic Rice :D

Ooo exciting! And I'm with the "Bring back Apricot and White Choc"cers!!

Thanks. Was asking as the mother wondered if she should get one to chop carrots for her soup and she doesn't like big bits so that should be fine for her. Philly Pesto! You've sold me on a chopper I think! Roll on payday :D

25g of sweet popcorn is 5.5 syns on all plans...

I nearly bought that mini-chopper today lol. Does it do carrots?

Well done everyone!! 2.5lbs off for me :D Got my half stone award finally! Am slow but I get there lol

Lite Lucozade Sport, Lemon & Lime/Summer Berries, 500ml bottle 2.5 syns on all plans

2 WW Wholemeal bread slices, as a toasted sandwich with quorn deli ham and a bit of my HEXA of cheese I didn't use earlier :D

I might steal the cannelloni recipe too :p Need to get more creative. Got a hand blender today so will be doing all sorts of soups. Think it can do the houmous too :D

Oooo a nice treat!! I'll miss the rolling pin image tho ;)

2 Quorn BBQ burgers, with a huge salad, and cajun spiced SW wedges :) Fruit and yoghurt with a meringue nest for pudding :D

:happy096: Sausage!!! Well done you!!! I'm using you as my inspiration now too, as well as stealing your recipes ;)

It seems to be free on EE and Green for 100g dried :)

4 stones! Excellent! And now down to the nitty gritty. What do you make your thai quorn curry with? ;) Is it bad that I'm stealing your recipes? :p Need to be good for a few weeks given the blowout I had today...

I ate bad things. Went to Frankie and Benny's and had a Garlic Mushroom and Goat's Cheese Calzone with fries, and then shared a Godfather dessert. I'm chalking it up to hormones and starting afresh tomorrow! It was yummy tho ;)

Mmmm... Pagen Krisprolls smothered with an HEA of Light Philly! Love them!

Cheez Dippers with Mini Breadsticks, Original, 35g pot 5 syns on all plans

Quorn Sizzling BBQ burgers with grated cheese on top, a huge salad, and a baked potato with refried beans. Gluttony! But then I didn't have breakfast or lunch :/

When I look up the ones listed here I can't find any of them on syns online. Would need the nutritional info I'm afraid!

I weigh in on Wednesday, but I think hormones are adding lbs to me! Damn womb lol Maybe I should eat some ss pineapple ;)

Did you leave it to cool before cutting it? I made the mistake of not doing this and my first one fell to bits lol

You can totally do it, sausage! Put your mind to it and it's possible! That cottage pie looks fab :D

I think you should have videoed that! ;l Def going to make that houmous! Although I think I'd be safer with the food processor ;)

Only the Lime and Coriander in the database I'm afraid! Can you post the nutritional info and I'll run it through the calculator?

Quorn Sausages and Mash. 400g, chilled 6.5 on all plans

Friday's dinner looks ace! Did you make the jalapeno houmous yourself?

4 Carr's Cheese Melts with an HEA of Philly Light... yum! :D

Lost 2lbs this week, although I say 1 as I didn't make it to class last week lol

I've always meant to try those Cauldron sausages. Might give them a go :)

I love the Linda McCartney ones as you can mash them onto toast with tomato sauce lol. Gross I know, but tasty, although at 2 syns each I don't have them all the time :(

Am cool thanks :D The local Farmfoods here seems to have a neverending supply lol. Now that I've tasted the Best Ever Cumberland ones tho, I'm thinking they're more than worth the half syn!

I don't think there's a FB group, and I still feel relatively new to it as I'm only on my 5th week. Will check it out tho, and see what I can find. Am also a bit concerned about the health/welfare of my consultant too :/

Shirleen that's what happened to me - I had to work extra hours so couldn't make the group. If I'd known in advance I'd have tried to go to another class locally, but they're all Mon-Wed in my area, and I usually go on a Wednesday night :/ I did tick the box saying I'm a shift worker, so...

2 slices of WW thick wholemeal (HEB) with 2 slices of Low Low Cheese (HEA), a little extra cheese slice, and green tea :) Now what I really wanted was pizza, but I figured that would be bad lol

Thanks, you two :) I haven't had any acknowledgement at all, so will see what happens next week. Don't want to lose access to syns online!

It's lovely hot and cold :D

What you been up to, Sausage?

So I couldn't make group this week as I had to work (am a shift worker). I texted my consultant and haven't heard a thing from her. The two weeks prior to that it was someone else who led the group with no info on why the usual consultant wasn't there. I'm just wondering if I will have to pay...

Sausage, we definitely do NOT get enough sunshine up here! I was bad today too - went to Loch Lomond, drank wine, ate ice-cream, and then had macaroni cheese, wedges and garlic bread! ARGH! But onwards and upwards from tomorrow :D Did you enjoy the BBQ tho, as that's the important thing ;)

Chickpea Loaf, and I'm about to polish the rest of it off!

Ace! There's a Co-op near me. As for the naked flame, as a veggie I make it a rule never to stand near one at all times :p

I'm def going to make that coleslaw. Looks yummy! I was bad yesterday and had veggie fajitas in TGIFs so am bound to be good this week! Do you always use the Asda pittas as an HEB, or another brand?

I made mine the traditional way without the cream/quark, using just eggs. Although I did use Quorn deli ham as I'm veggie :) I followed this recipe and just HEXed the cheese, and added a little finely chopped onion and garlic. It was yum!

I just want to say that the posts in this thread have been brilliant for me to read as I'm considering having the Mirena coil fitted. At least I know that it's not going to be as bad as some say. Thanks everyone :)

0.5lb off which is amazing given the amount of non SW food I shovelled into my mouth at the weekend, and the pizza hut I had. Figuring it might catch up with me next week :D Well done, everyone, and keep it up those of you who stayed the same or gained. WE CAN DO IT :D

Well I tried this tonight and it took an eternity for the first side to go crispy, even at 230 degrees lol. Once it did tho, the second side crisped up in 10 mins, I let it cool, then added my toppings and grilled it. Was ace! :D I like the idea of adding an egg tho. Think I'll try that next...

I bought 2 packs of sausages and 2 packs of burgers in Farmfoods today. They still have some of the old ones on 2 for £2.50 :(

Baked sweet potato with cottage cheese and loads of salad :) Have already had carrot and lentil soup :D

Thanks for the welcome, peeps!

1lb is teensy tiny and easily lost :D

My bhaji baws were ace! Even the nephew ate loads of them! Might have to steal that sausage gratin recipe as it looks yum :)

Ooo that sounds yum!! Can't wait to see the photos :D I think I did a you today. Not even going to try and syn what I ate lol... Off to make the bhajis :)

I love SW carbonara :D I make mine with 2 eggs, onion, garlic, and Quorn deli slices. Yum!

I've been bad :( I had two white rolls, one with veggie sausages and ketchup, the other with a cheese slice and mayo :/ I had some pasta with pesto, sundried tomatoes and onion, salad, savoury rice, a mini pizza and marshmallows with chocolate. I'm not even attempting to syn it! Damned family...

You can do it, Sausage! But I'm dying to know what you ate yesterday lol ;)

1 stone in 3 weeks! Well done!! :D

I'm new to this too, but I would imagine that cutting the HEXs is not a good idea as they're there to make sure you get calcium and fibre etc. What plan are you following? Maybe you could post a food diary to let some more knowledgeable folks have a look at it? Although, I have to say, a...

Hello peeps! I've been doing a little lurking with a couple of posts for a few weeks now, but I realise that I need to actually start posting stuff lol... Am at Slimming World with a 18lbs to lose (and then maybe a bit more depending), and need all the inspiration I can get! Hope to be...

Definitely following this thread and am going to make the bhajis at the weekend. Keep it up :)

2 quorn BBQ burgers, cauliflower and a little cheese sauce, and potato wedges :)

In the past I made a conscious effort to drink 1.5-2 litres of pure water a day. I still had crappy skin, was still a little pudgy, and still ate tons. I didn't feel any less tired, and all I did was go to the loo more lol. So now I drink water (around 1 litre-ish), tea, and some diet fizzy...

Similar here. My scales say I lost 1lb but SW scales say no lol.

Maintained this week, but to be honest I thought I'd gained so a maintain is good!

Well the SW syns online says nothing about a fat free version, just regular (for Old El Paso). A quick question tho as it says 100g is free, does that mean 200g is free, or only if you have the 100g if you see what I mean? I'm hoping totally free as I LOVE refried beans!

Easi-Yo Bio-Skimmers Yoghurt, with blueberries and strawberries :)

Half a vegetable chow mein from the chinese, a fried rice, and 6 tpsb curry sauce. All in all 10.5 syns :D

I think this is a lot to do with it. People think that being bigger is more normal and acceptable these days. I get told a lot that I look fine, but I have a belly and a big bum, and thighs that rub together! You do the weight loss to a weight that's comfortable for you, and bugger everyone...

Newbie here *waves* 3lbs off at my first weigh in last night :)

2lbs is excellent! Well done! First weigh in for me last night and I lost 3, but I think that was because I wasn't wearing jeans lol... Keep it up!
