Oooh sounds good! Where do you buy them? x

Thanks for reminding me of such an awesome recipe, a chef I used to work with always made his own version of BBQ sauce using Coke and it was delicious, so if it is good enough to serve in a bistro restaurant it is good enough for me ;)

The shandy really is free and its in cans too (always tastes better out of a can!) Obviously it isn't as good as the real thing but still gives into the craving

thanks very much, it's a lot of syns but it's good to know for times when I can't resist temptation!

Does anyone know how many syns are in a chilli chicken and spiced onion snack wrap?

Asda Chicken Sizzler (chilled) is 4 1/2 syns and delicious! I have mine with rice or cous cous or some micro chips in a hurry! Few other microwave ideas... Birdseye Chicken jalfrezi, 4 syns Marks and Spencer count on us Chicken jambalya (chilled) 5 syns Iceland Chicken casserole 1 syn...

You need to have your syns each day, they are built into the plan. Not having any does not make you lose weight quicker, in fact it can hinder your efforts as you won't be following food optomising 100%. Have at least 5 per day, no less. You can vary the amount you have each day depending on...

I like to make up a hot chocolate sachet with hot milk, or a cup of cocoa

The regular chocolate weetabix can be used as a healthy extra plus 2 syns, or to eat them on their own are 7 syns

Cadburys light mousse is the way forward! They only have 3 1/2 syns per pot and the cadburys light trifles 6 1/2 per pot, they are great for a chocolate fix! Or try mixing a sachet of options into a Total 0% Greek yogurt for 2 1/2 syns!

Like you, I gained 1lb unexpectedly last week and it looks like I am going to maintain again this week! It is awful when you know you have been so good, I will try some new foods this week and see if that helps, many people have told me that the last bit of weight is the hardest to lose and...

I have never heard of a scan bran challenge or speed soup, what are they? Thanks for your help! I will give anything a try right now!

Haha I know, not quite the same is it! I tried freezing the new coconut Mullerlights a few nights ago and it wasnt too bad actually! Doesn't beat a Ben and Jerrys but it can be a substitute for now ha

I have been a member of Slimming World since October 2009 and so far have lost 8st 11lbs, I know the plan and what works for me however my weight seems to be sticking, I can't seem to lose anything no matter how hard I try although I still have over 1st I need to lose to reach my target. I am...

There are two varieties of satay sauce, one contains nuts, one is smooth and spicy. The nutty version would be a lot higher.

I would estimate between 10-12 syns depending on portion size. Also, I know this is a bit naughty but Iceland do an awesome frozen Chinese chicken curry which is 10 syns for definate as I have checked, so maybe get one of those then you know for sure? It tastes just as good as a takeaway and is...

Anything ordered from a takeaway is likely to contain oil, even the healthiest sounding options! However I'm sure this dish would be under 10 syns, perhaps you could ask how it is cooked so that you could work out its syn value? I often do, as it is the only way to know for sure. You may be...

For an ice cream fix in future, get the wafer cone with ice cream to save syns (aprox 8syns)

Well done first of all! When I was a size 24 I used to get some lovely clothes from SimplyBe, if you are looking to wear a dress a maxi dress would be flattering if you tapered it in with a belt on the waist, or a classic fitted dress that flares from the waist hides a multitude of sins! There...

I know exactly how you feel, but although I shouldn't really say this it DOES do you good to have a treat now and again. I have lost almost 9 stone so far and I feel that this is partly due to the fact that I don't deprive myself of things that I really want. For me, it would be torture to sit...

You could always have a diet shandy, available in cans from Tesco they are syn free! Although it isn't the same it is a substitute for now

I think it is essential to have a weekly weigh in as an incentive from personal experience. When you have lost weight the group needs you, when you have gained weight you need the group. It is so tempting to stop going to the group when you feel like you are getting nowhere, I had an unxpected...
