That looks delicious! I know what I'm having for tea tomorrow:-)

Think Im gonna make a tomato sauce and add red/yellow pepper; courgettes and quorn piece with stuffed mushroom and rice

Here is a pic, it was delish!

Just made these so I thought Id share...tottally free...courgettes, red pepper, onion, mushrooms, coriander, mixed herbs and 3eggs. I just poured them straight into a cupcake tin. I much prefer them to the big sw quiche made with cottage cheese/quark :-)

Thanks! Some nice ideas. Im just not used to having no traditional.carbs with a meal. Something I will have to get used to! Starting with tea tonight :-)

I don't usually do red days but my mum bought me a massive bag of chicken fillets from m&s, and I don't seem to lose much on ee. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for an alternative to rice/noodles when doing a stir fry as the syns are quite high for a small portion?

Mozerella stuffed chick breast wrapped in bacon with roast courgette, red onion and peppers and maybe some bns :)

Spaghetti aribiatta. My favourite :)

Lidl have BNS 69p and courgettes £1/kg, granny smith £1 a 1kg pack

Thats one of my favourite meals..simple but delish!

Bacon and pea risotto with some creme fraiche stirred through

Thats great, thanks!

Does anyone know what they would be? I have dairy milk one so was thinking 1-2 syns each?

I have been looking for these for a while as Sainsburys and Tesco have stopped selling them. I like to use them in stirfrys instead of egg noodles or for pad thai. Anyway I found them (yay!!) in Waitrose. They are on offer at 25% off at the mo but come in 450g box for the normal price of 2.50...

Just to add that I agree with everyone else. My first WI I was so scared that I had put on weight as I had eaten huge meals, snacked all through the day and had my 15syns a day. I was literally holding my breath on the scales that I put weight on, but I lost 4 pounds and continued to lose every...

Sainsbury's have princes tinned toms/chickpeas 4 for £1 mix and match. Same for Tesco's with East End brand. Both supermarkets also have branston baked beans 4 pack for 1.27

Next Sat&Sun (24&25th Nov) Lidl have 5kg onions for 99p!! And 6 pack mullerlights for 1.79. 7up zero and coke zero 6 packs for 1.49

Thanks for the tip..will try again!

Got some chicken to use up so chicken arabiata.

2 slices hexb bread, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and tomatoes

Maybe try superspeed soup, limit your syns and eat lots of superfree over the next couple of days. But I would think if you stick to the sw plan then you should be ok. I've had loads of times this has happened and been suprised that if I get back on plan how quickly the weight gain comes off and...

Oh that might be where I went wrong...I heated it for ages! I will try again another day with your recipe and see how I get on. Thanks!

I know- disappointed :-( !! I only had a little bit so I guess that's good thing as I saved myself some calories and can't be bothered to cook anything else!

It wasn't very nice! I added in some philly to make it more creamy but it just ended up split and dry and tasted nothing like carbonara!! Loaded it with grated cheese to make it a bit better and used up all my syns!

Chicken, bacon pasta with quark carbonara sauce, cheese and salad

With gravy :-)

Bacon wrapped chicken, stuffed marrow topped with mozerella, peas and cabbage :-)

Just melted some cheese on my wedges- a bit like cheesy chips ;-)

Chicken legs , sw coleslaw and sw cheese wedges..yum!

I did Jillian's dvd last year before I went off plan (again). She really kicks your butt but I got fantastic results even though I stayed on level one. I did walk to work but other than that the dvd was the only exercise I did and the was falling off. Try and stick with it if you can as Im sure...

Thanks for your encouragement everyone! I agree that reading posts on this forum is great motivation. here's hoping it will do the trick!

I'm looking for some motivation to start SW again. Brief background- started at SW group about 3 years ago. Went for 3 months, lost weight, then for some reason stopped going and put the weight back on. Then didn't go back (or stick to plan) for nearly a year. Pretty much the same pattern...

I was dx with PCOS 13 years ago (when I was thin) and my hair was so thick. Over the last 5 years I have gradually put on more and more weight and my hair has become drastically thinner to the point wherre you can see my scalp at the front and temples. Since I have been on SW I have noticed my...

I'm just wondering, for those of you who don't mind disclosing, how many people are overweight and have also been diagnosed with a mental health issue? Do you think there is a direct correlation between the two? I have a chronic mental health disorder, and am told that whether I was thin or...

Hi Would anyone be able to tell me the syn value for this? THanks

ClaireCat, can I ask you about electrolysis as you are a pro:) I've been given an appointment for my first session next week in the morning. I want to go to work afterwards but will my neck be red and noticable? Also, I shave in the morning- is it ok to have shaved before I go or is it best...

thank you for looking! That's still loads of syns:( Think I will stick to wall's low fat ice cream (3 syns per 100g) with crumbled up alpen bar:)

Tesco- 3 mixed peppers 85p 225g runner beans 75p charlotte potatoes 1kg 67p mini babybel light 3 for £3.50 Activia 0% 4s 2 for £3.00

Hey Tescos have Ben and Jerrys on half price at the moment. Im thinking the ice cream might be loads of syns for a scoop. Does anyone know the syn value for phish food frozen yoghurt? thanks in advance:)

I've been looking into electrolysis recently and if anyone lives in/near London, the London College of Beauty Therapy do 30 minute courses for £2.50!! It will be done by trainees but they are supervised. There must be colleges in other parts of the country that offer this too. Here's the link to...

Thanks guys:) One day at a time...I'm just in one of those "down" moods this week. I've actually been reading others diaries/inspirational stories and it definitely gives me hope!

Sainsbury's sugar free marshmallows- 5kcals each so 4 = 1 syn. I had the whole bag the other day and it only came to 4 syns:) Also, microwaved Alpen bars mixed with yoghurt and fruit- yummy!

I think it can defintely be done if you are 100% all week! Especially if you've had lots of speed food. Best of luck to you..let us know how you get on:)

Hi guys I'm quite new here, but done SW several times over several years as each time I "come off" SW I put more weight on. Been back on plan for a few weeks and I am losing weight but over the last couple of days I've been wondering if I will EVER get to be "normal" size. There seems such a...

My GP took me off Dianette because of the high risk associated with DVT. I am now on Yasmin and I can't really notice any difference between the two. It's interesting that you say Dianette is associated with liver function, as I've just found out I've gotabnormal LFTs... maybe Yasmin is...

I have a similar expereince to others. I used to be small (10stone) and since I was about 14 I've had excess hair on my neck. At the age of 15 I started to shave it daily and have done so ever since (I am now 29):( I have put on 6 stone in those years and I haven't noticed it get worse or...

When I used to go to classes my consultant told us about a super speed soup which is really quick to make. I know it consisted of a tin of carrots and a tin of tomatoes, but I'm sure there was another item included. You then add them all to the blender (including water in tin of carrots) and...

This is what I do. I get up early too (5am:eek:) and I make my lunch the night before-just mix all the ingredients together and add dressing at lunch.

I used to do this, but the minute I let myself have a treat, the whole plan goes out the window. Not just for the rest of the day but for at least the rest of the week. My thought process after I've had a treat is "well, I've had a treat tonight so I might as well eat what I like and start...

I dice peppers, onions, carrots (or whatever I have in the fridge) and mix it in with my rice/cous cous then add the chilli/curry etc on top. Also, for cost saving and to bulk my meals out I either grate or dice really small so that the veg almost melts into the sauce. Saves money on meat and...

Hey Could anyone tell me the syn value for this please? Thanks:)

I was looking at this website over the weekend and the pics of this made my mouth water- as a consequence I am now a member!! I made this on Sunday. Had to use double to amount of chocolate (70g) as 35g did not cover the large flan. Am amazed I cut myself one piece and the rest is still in...

Hey I'm new here. Have been doing SW on my own this time after being to classes before. Started last Monday and I lost 7lbs this week :) Hoping I can keep going and get a loss again next week
