Shows how long it is since i've been to subway! Maybe we should suggest it to them? :-)

I'd syn it as 6 or a HEB if having wholemeal..suppose it depends how rigid you are. Very fair point tho

Lol yeah I get that point totally but you still have the shell of the roll and that being at least a 6"sub it's still considerable bread! .....much more satisfying than 'just a salad' :-)

I've recently heard.that since being sponsers of 'the biggest loser uk' subway are happy to scoop out the centre of your sub, taking out the majority of the bread quota and lowering syns. We thought this sounded too good to be true so my friend tried it asked and was met with a smile and 'no...

Pink and whites are a life saver for me and my friends. They are the marshmellow wafers. They are very economical for syns and price. A 6 pack is approx 50p and they are only 2.5syns each. I microwave for 15 seconds so they r soft and gooey. Mmmm delicious and satisfying! :-)

Just read your story in our image therapy. I felt a lot of our members could relate. Thankyou so much for sharing it with us. X

At the risk of sounding a little silly...what are 'joes sausages?' I use sainsburys healthy cumberland sausages...1/2syn each on ee and red, 8 for £1.99 I really enjoy them but getting bored of having the same all the time...

Yeah just wash them out n they're good to go again. I write on what the recipe is but nothing else....that way I just use them for next batch of same and bish bash bosh, jobsagudden! :-)

Yes completely minky - I can't believe i've been doing sw for 3 years yet only thought to do this a couple of.weeks ago! Firm fave now tho and planning on having them instead of fajitas this week :-) x

Blt with one egg omlette instead of bread....lush!

I find the store and pour bags really helpful for freezing sauces and soups. They're re-usable and save a lot of space in the freezer when compared to containers. These are usually available in poundland x

Toffe magic porridge mmm

Pint of highlights and a boots shapers mint nougat bar all for 8 syns...bargain! Had this whilst catching up on the biggest loser! Lol

Msmuppet....I do the same! Love it because u always have fast.food available :-) x

Fab ideas binibecca....thanks x

I must admit I find it very expensive living as a single person food optimising. Often means I eat 'samey' foods throughout the week -always got my eye out for offers! :-)

Hi Valarie, thanks for trying to help :-) Truth is....yes to all of the above. Have emailed my consultant my food diary which she's checked and said the only thing she can come up with is not having a scan bran/ryvita. When having oats for breakfast....otherwise 100% on plan. I drink.3-4...

Hi Rachel, best of luck with your chosen weightloss route hun but do u realise you're posting on the slimming world area? X

Yes hun. It's 28grams oats mixed with muller light yoghurt. You mix the oats with the yoghurt in a tuperware bix and leave to stand in fridge overnight. Some people chop fresh.fruit into it in the mornings. I thought this sounded awful but gave it a try out of intrigue and,I love it! In fact...

Awesome! Well done you!

Hi everyone I've had my best motivated weeks in over 12 months....both weeks 100% yet I lost 1/2 last week and,nothing this week. Having lost 5 stone on sw I think it's safe to say I know the plan. I've shaken things up, changed my breakfasts, tried new recipes and still nothing! Totally...

Thankyou soo much for the info guys. I've recently cut down pepsi max too as found out it's a diuretic and can cause bowl problems (in facy my consultants daughter got rushed into hosp wi suspected appendicitis that turned out to be severe constipation due to only.drinking carbonated...

Haha, no worries :-) I do have peppermint tea too but got a bit bored of that....think I may stock up on all varieties so wont get bored. Am particularly interested inhealing properties of green tea tho....have,m.e. So will take all the help I can get:-)

Hey guys....just heard alpen lights are on offer at asda 2 for £2. Good for anyone who likrs a bargain like me! Hehe x

Hi everyone....hope the week's treating you all as well as possible. On thinking about my fluid intake, I realised that though I drink more than enough througout the day....im drinking waaay too much tea and coffe. Am thinking if giving green tea a try as I'll stilk be getting my warm brew but...

Yeah....it's safe to eat raw eggs hun.

Hi....I'm interested in trying the aldi bars (saving a few pence here and there makes a big difference on a tight budget)..but aldi is a bit if a trek for me. Please could someone tell me the flavour options and how much these are? Thanks

Have you tried magic porridge? It's a new one on me but trying to cut out wheat and I find I actually look forward to breakfast now rather than forcing myself to eat it!

Thankyou :-) x

No you dont cook it hun, just mix a tub of quark, options, an egg and sweetner with a blender. I thought it sounded.awful but I loved it and it was very filling. I'm going to try it with dark chocolate next time :-)

I used to have a gorgeou recipe for roasted red pepper and bns soup....was delish. Must look it up again

Tried the white choc options for 1st time yesterday mixed in quark with an egg...yum! For.hot chocolate drink I'm more of an highlights girl myself x

Honk...day 5

All the supermarkets are stocking their own aspartame free granulated sweetners now. Its shocking when you think how much nasty stuff we've out in our,bodies over the years when supposedly trying to be healthy!

Hi peeps, I've heard for a while that some people like to freeze mullerlights, making them more like an ice cream desert. I fancy giving it a try but am wondering how long do u freeze them for before eating? Thanks for any help. X

Hey guys, My names Rachel and my loss with slimming world is 5stone. It was 6st10 but unfortunate turn with health last year meant I lost my way with my eating. Am determined to get the ball rolling again and have been 100% this week for the 1st time in months. Have only just found this site...

This is what flexible syns are for hun. We're all human afterall. It was your choice and with food optimising, this is what its all about. Forgive yourself your hour off and continue as you did before. You'll be fine :-) Congrats on your weightloss so far and best of luck :-) x
