Hi all, Has the amount of light triangles changed again? According to the app, its now 5 again, but it says 4 on the healthy extras area on the slimming world website. I tend to snack on these if i've not had my hexA during the day but now i'm not sure if i'm not having enough! Any help is...

Saturday I lost another 1/2lb meaning I got my 1 stone award!! Now 2lb off club 10 :) x

Its 1 syn per 100g of cooked raspberries. I Dont eat raspberries so Dont know what 100g looks like but I would think its a lot more than 6/7

after a weeks holiday due to birthdays galore, im very pleased with my 2lbs off this saturday! just half a pound until my 1 stone award!!

Weighed in at home today, so unoffical -1lb! which is good as I've been off plan most days this week, hoping to get back on it soon.

Pound off this morning. Taking my bmi to now under 30! Very happy!

Ooh thanks for these. I quite fancy trying the wild boar and apple sausages and had the venison burgers this week :) they were lovely.

Average is around 9syns for 100g of standard coleslaw. But it does vary with what brand/if its reduced fat etc. Do you have a brand you normally eat?

-0.5 lb off for me yesterday but I'm happy with that as I had a bit of a blow out last weekend as i had a reunion with my housemates from uni. Really enjoyed the weekend so don't feel guilty having cheesy chips at midnight!

Iceland exotic meat feast, ostrich burgers are free according to the app! Enjoy :)

Another 2lb off for me :) which takes me 4lb away from my stone award and 6lb away from my club 10!

Asda Meat free frozen burgers are 0.5 syns each :)

Asda meat free meatballs are still 3 syns for the pack :)

The lemon and pepper fish fusions is 13 syns for each piece of cod on a green day. Healthy extras tend to be 6 syns so even if you did count the cod as a healthy extra (I'm not sure if you can though) it would still be 7 syns per cod

Another 2lbs off! 8lb loss so far meaning I got my half a stone award in class today! :D

STS this week again. A little disappointed but its not a gain so not too bad.

2lb loss this week, making 6lb in two weeks! hopefully can get my half a stone award next week! Although feeling really rubbish today with a terrible cold/cough so having an off plan day today as i just want lots of hot drinks and plenty of chocolate today! Back on plan tomorrow if i'm feeling...

First weigh in at class this morning, 4lb off! back to wedding weight already! :D

EE HexA- 4 x laughing cow light triangles HexB - 60g wm roll

Ah okay, I'm not a member yet so I guess I'll have to wait. Thanks

I think you take the lowest value from red or green for ee, as its cous cous I think the green value is the one you use.

Hi all, I am going to be rejoining group on saturday and am buying all the recipes books in the mirror from saturday 3rd till tues 6th. I was hoping to start planning some meals ready for next week but the recipes don't include any of the syn values. At first I thought they might all be free...

Is there any update on this? Ive not seen anything in the supermarkets yet.

Nope, that's the type i want, the police forces from wales to cornwall aren't hiring, and the private sector hasn't picked up where the FFS left off yet.

Dont worry! I understood what you meant :p Just looked at that dress and omg that is stunning! I think you'll look amazing in that and good luck with the weight loss! As a child my parents took me all across the world, dominican republic, eygpt, etc. That didnt really interest me, i dont do...

thanks! im 4ft 11, good things come in little packages :D or so my mam told me :p

That picture is what kept me from quitting yesterday, After my first week, i lost 1 pound. i was so dissappointed as im finding this hard, i dont eat enough as my work shifts are all over the place and all i used to do is snack on crisps or chocolate. now im limiting myself to healthier things...

Morrisons are doing the philly light 300g tub all varietys, for 99p :D yum yum yum

I had my fist way in today as well and lost 1lb. I too was dissapointed to begin with, but after i googled a pound of fat :O... at the end of the day it is a step in the right direction!! Also my C mentioned someone in group who had stuck to the plan 100% but did not use any of her syns, she...

So i thought it was going to go from bad to worse! I got to group at 6 to see a sign saying it was half 6!! Lame.. but then it got better :D I lost a pound, so its not great for my first week but its not a gain either :D and ive reached my first mini goal!

My weigh in is at 6 tonight, ive just had a quick peek on my own scales at home and it says ive gained :( This is my first week and i hoped to lose a decent amount. My starting weight was recorded at 11am, and due to shift work i have to go at 6 tonight :( im also thinking this might show...

everything that is free on green days are free on EE days as well! baked beans are just free not superfree

Yup! and unlimited meat as well. thats why its extra easy! Its recommended that you fill up on the superfree foods first so that you dont over eat on the pasta etc, but there is no need to weigh any of it :D just remember sweetcorn is free but not super free unless its baby corn. I was gutted...

looks okay to me, as long as the mixed veg with your dinner is superfree veg, (carrot, green beans, broccoli etc) then it should be okay.

As i dont eat that much meat i dont do orignial days so its all free on either EE or green days :D

So i just bought the wrong bread... I thought it was the nimble bread but once id got home i realised it was called danish. Ive had a look on the slimming world site and cant find if its a healthy extra, but on the syns online its 3 syns per slice. I dont want to just waste the bread :( Do you...

for the first few days nothing changed, but in the past 2 days, omg O_o i need to pee like 3 time an hour! its insane, did not like waking at 8am this morning to pee :( it was my day off!

I'm 4ft 11, 11st and a size 12/14 on top and 14 on bottoms. Hope to lose 2 st and maybe fit into a 10 :D

I work in morrisons and atm ben and jerrys is on offer :( I have to keep staring at all the ice cream coming through the till knowing I cant have any! Its killing me! I can resist when its like a fiver a tub but now its only £2 :( I agree! If I asked my man now he wouldnt get me chocolate let...

as Shirleen suggested I got some that was already prepared, it was cut up into really small bits though! so i found the largest ones to roast and try them, but I think the rest will be better off in a soup or mash :) for the mash, would you just boil it as you would potatoes?! i dont make a...

For dinner tonight ive just had wedges roast sweet potato roast parsnip roast butternut squash roast shallot ham peas/sweetcorn/carrots/green beans :D all syn free with some synned gravy on the top :D YUM! im stuffed now. the sweet potato was sooo nice, and i'll definitely do the...

Day 4 So yesterday i had a day off and this meant me and the OH went exploring :D So i think the extra exercise makes up for the shocking food I ate! B: Tea + sweetener bowl of apples, grapes and muller light yoghurt Lunch: J D Weatherspoons! 5oz Gammon steak with eggs, chips and beans (I cut...

Thanks for the warning! I quite fancy trying bns etiher roasted or in a soup, will look out for some already cut up!

Im going to check in morrisons tomorrow :)

For some reason I thought peas were :sigh: there goes my idea of filling the plate with peas!! I didn't notice pickled onions were superfree :D I snack on these! There are things ive tried to like, like tomatoes and eggs, but I just cant stomach them, i just about managed to eat an egg today...

nope dont like tomatos and cucumber :(, i can have passata as a base for sauces, but that's about it.

Im currently eating some chopped up apple and grapes with muller light for breakfast, the reason im finding it so difficult is that I dont like most fruit and veg. I dont like banana or melon or strawberries, or broccoli or courgette or peppers. i can just about stomach mushrooms as long as the...

I'm struggling to add 1/3rd superfree to every meal, looking at my food diary I can see im not eating enough, I know im going wrong but I just cant seem to fit that much in. I will be buying some frozen peas soon, havent had the time atm.. I add sweetcorn to every dinner almost but its not...

Day 3 Extra easy again today. Breakfast: tea + sweeteners + milk (HExA) 2 Chocolate Weetabix (HExB + 2 syns) + Milk (HExA) Lunch: Frozen muller light Left over chicken pasta from dinner yesterday Dinner: Chicken pasta again.. Chicken wholewheat pasta knorr stock pot shallots...

I had pasta yesterday so was thinking something else, i forgot to buy rice but I do have some potatoes.

I had a chicken pasta thing yesterday, and I dont really fancy the same again today, but i have an opened carton of passata still in the fridge so I need to use it! I have chicken too.. but im not very inventive :(

I'm currently just about fitting into a size 14, I want to be a size 10. I never thought of it as a pound a week.. If I lost just a pound a week it would still take only about 7months.. And if it was more than a pound a week it'd take even less! My treat for reaching my target is my OH will...

it was the first time trying it, im not all that keen on it but i bought it so im not chucking it out!

I decided to give this a try the other day, put the muller light in the freezer and totally forgot about it... its been in there 2 days!! I think its safe to say its frozen now, so much so that its been out of the freezer for about half an hour and is still not edible! oops.

I think he has got man flu bless him! hes all ill again today and is planning on doing nothing all day.

haha, im sat at the computer in our room reading through a few threads when my OH starts snoring loudly, he went to bed a few hours ago not feeling too good. He then snored so loudly he woke himself up hehe :giggle:

Last week at 11st 2lbs, For my height that puts me at obese! I was the same as Funky_Munky, it wasnt so much my weight but that my size 14s were a tight squeeze. joined SW this week and am down to 11st already :D

It is now day 2 of the SW way and its a little bit hectic atm :sigh: I work shifts, really weird shifts. I can also be called in with half hours notice. Like today! :( After a shakey start to the day with confidence issues, i finally made it to the beach to enjoy my day off and sunshine. To be...

So far i've only been to the one meeting in this group, but the C asked what was the number one must have in each persons food diary, and as the C talks about the weight loss/gain she also asked what types of food have they cooked this week. I got some good ideas from this and it helped as to...

Day 2 So today was my day off (supposedly) I was hoping to have a really nice lunch, maybe try something from the book or from here, followed by another recipe for dinner. After an hour at the beach I got called in to work :( plans out the window as I had like 20mins to get into work.. So heres...

I only have a mobile and am fairly new to the work place so want to stay in their good books atm. However, I have friday off and there is no way im working even if they call me in :D I will make sure to go and visit another town here so i cant get to work Ive got a few different things to...

I finally went out and sat on a bench near the beach to read my book, found a nice little corner to hide away in but still in the sun! Just started to relax and enjoy being out in the sun when work called me in asking to work at 4 :( The things we do for money..

Thanks guys, I guess im just having a bad day atm. Its reassuring to know that someone has lost 2 stone in 18weeks, gives me a bit more hope that it is possible. I do go to group, my club 10 is 9st 13lb, my first target is 9st but to be in the bmi ok range for my height i should be between 7...

I know its stupid, but im wishing the next few years to fly by, In a perfect world I would lose the weight in a day be married and pregnant by next week. Ive had enough of being the fat one, atm im practically too scared to go outside to the beach as i know everyone there will have beach toned...

This time I will do it right! So I started officially yesterday, went to group and struggled a little with the first day as I didnt quite have the right food in the house but this is what I had. Green Day Breakfast: 28g Crispy Minis (HExB) + dash of milk (HExA) Tea with sweetener + dash of...

I Love Verdi's! I used to go there about 4 years ago, this makes me want to go back! but at a 5 hour drive away I think it'd be too much just for ice cream :(

So after my WI I went shopping to get all essentials, or so I thought... Im doing a green day, already had 2 As and 1 B trying to think what to have for food after.. Ive forgotten to buy potatoes.. I can think of loads of meals to do! but they all require potatoes!!! I have work soon and...

Yeh 28g is not a good breakfast! Ive found that 2 choc weetabix is hex b and 2 syns :) i think i can live with 2 syns for them! Just come back from group and food shopping! I think i'm going to do a green day today as breakfast took up hex a and hex b, but not enough! plus i need something on...

I'm really nervous! Ive not been to group on my own before. Ive already had good things for breakfast too! Tea with sweetner and dash of milk (HEx) 28g of crispy mini and milk (HEx) but my god 28g of those are tiny O_O it was 11 pieces! My bowl is normally full of them. Any advice...

Once you join a class you should get a password which will allow you online access. Member fee is £10, if you sign up before 30th july then first class is free, £10 includes the basic books you'll need. Not sure how much the extra books are but tbh you can find more updated syn values online...

Thai Mug Shot! first time trying them and must say they are a bit spicy for my liking! i think i'll stick with the chicken ones next time

Junk food has already been got rid of! unfortunately this just means i've already eaten it :sigh: but I wont buy any more from now on! :D My meat is basically limited to chicken, ham, bacon and sausages as I don't really like anything else. I think i'll be doing mainly green and EE as I can...

So tomorrow I will join group, 11am. God that's early... Im not even 100% sure where the class is, Im new to the area so basically only know how to get to and from work.. hopefully satnav will get me there! OH's brother doesn't think it will work and that surely you cant eat that much and still...

So after pondering for a week about whether or not to go it alone or join class. Ive decided after seeing my books are two years out of date that I will join class for a few weeks then go it alone. The first class is tomorrow at 11am! Bit nervous about it all, as I dont know anyone in this...

Thats great on the weight loss! Well done. Maybe take in some of your clothes so they last a bit longer instead of buying new?

This will be my 2nd time, I put on all the weight i'd lost the first time and an extra stone for good measure! This time I have the goals to aim for so hopefully the motivation will stick!

wouldnt red days be chicken and fish? green days are pasta/potatoes

Thanks for this :) I think its definitely worth joining on Tuesday now! :D It will also give me some time to go shopping and I will let the C know I'm a shift worker from the start.

I used to go with 3 of my friends, at the start it seemed better as we'd all help each other stick to the plan, share ideas etc. But once one friend fell off the plan the rest of us seemed to follow. Next week I'm starting again but on my own this time, I'm hoping that this will help me stay on...

Congrats to both! You must be so excited, now to just wait for the bundle of joy in 9 months!

I think the main thing I need to write in here, is my motivations for doing this. Last time at 10st I lost all motivation and it became a chore rather than something I enjoyed. Once all my friends also dropped out, I dropped out. This time I have my motivation in the form of a reward once I...

I'd just looked at groups near me and there's one which has 3 different times on a Tuesday, I might be able to work it out that I can go to one without it being during work times, for example this week I could go to the 11am one, then next week go to the 6pm one. I might be able to push the...

This is my second time doing slimming world, The books were originally mine and had them sent from my parents house. If I do join a class it can only basically be for the one class as I do not have the money to continue going. I also work odd shifts so going every week would not be possible.

So my books finally arrived in the post, they are the 2009 books though. Has anything drastically changed that I should know about? is semi-skimmed milk still 250ml? I am hoping to start properly on Monday, as I have no food currently! but I have another dilemma, I'm working today and...

Thanks for all your replies! I have recently got this months edition of slimming world magazine and will try some of the recipes in there to start off with. I also forgot how easy a jacket potato was to make! that would be a easy meal to make after a long days work. My work hours are all over...

Thanks, Good luck to you too!

Instead of what I normally do before work, sit around and wait for it to start.. I took a walk into town, picked up a photo frame for my graduation certificate which I’ve been meaning to do for a while and bought weighing scales for the bathroom, weighing scales for the kitchen and this month’s...

Hi guys, I've recently graduated from Uni and saw the photos of me in my cap and gown... Horrendous! This spurred me on to start (and hopefully succeed!) in loosing weight. I have been a member of Slimming World before and the plans were so easy to follow with good results that I will be...
