Hi, I'm desperately trying to find out the Syn value of this rice before I go to work. Could someone please help me. I have only just rejoined SW and have not yet re-registered on the official site. Here is the info: NUTRITIONAL FACTS (TYPICAL VALUES) Per 125g serving Per 100g Energy...

I'm starting slimmm tomorrow! I have just received enough shakes to last me 24 days! Going to have 2 per day with a fruit snack and low cal dinner - aiming for 1000 cals per day which I will track via myfitnesspal. Glad to see others doing the same plan! We can do this!! xx

Glad you had a good day hun. You are so right about the price of fresh and healthy food.... however, Aldi is a good supermarket and they have very good offers on fruit and veg - alternatively find a local greengrocer. Instead of paying 80p for a cucumber i pay 24p - you can imagine the...

Hiya, Well todays food diary is a bit of a mess... 100g Alpen was 358 cals! Won't do that again, I really need to get to grips with cereal portions, still, at least its been counted right?? I did enjoy it though.... oh and that doesn't include milk!! Tesco Mince & Potatoes £1 ready meal for...

Hi, Just noticed that today I'll have had 1060 calories. Myfitnesspal says for my weight and a 2lb loss per week I could have 1560 calories and what with the assistance of the little blue pill, I wonder if I am being too restrictive. Your advice will be much appreciated. xxx

Hi Gemma, Wow me and you are too similar. Im 31, I've done LL and I've started Xenical today! I'm doing an access course in Sept to then go to Uni to become, yep you guessed it, a Social Worker!!! I'm a single mum to Amy who is 5. I've always been a big girl, but really aiming to shed a fair...

Hi Kelly, I start Xenical and WW today. Wanna be buddies? I was intending on doing the cambridge diet, but my dr refused to sign my form (for the 2nd time), and put the Xenical on a repeat prescription for me, so I'm really gonna go for it this time. Quite excited, I've got too uncomfortable...

I tell you what, if I can't start CD tomorrow I will send it to you darling!! xxx

I haven't had it today, as I couldn't see my dr to get my medical form signed. Going in the morning, so provided my dr signs my form I will be on sole source tomorrow. I can't afford to waste shakes as money's a bit tight atm.... Will update as soon as I've had it. xxx

Ahh yes, she did mention she'd gone to a conference and had sampled it there herself... I am a banana shake girl, failing that vanilla and a teaspoon of cinnamon! Fingers crossed that we like it :) x

I'm starting tomorrow too hun! I have a lot to lose!!!! I really desperately need a buddy, wanna do it together? xxxx

Anyone else tried the new mango shake, I have a pack to try, will have it for breakfast.... hoping I love it, but we'll have to see!!!

Thank you Hun. I'm trying to be strong but I'm just so scared of being on my own. Can't help but wonder if I was slimmer, would things be different. I'm 2 stone lighter than when we met and he's never given me reason to think it, it's probably my own insecurities beating me up inside....

I can't eat, I can barely type through the tears.... Heartbroken, and for the first time in my life, I have no appetite, should lead to a good loss I guess.... :(

I had Nando's Double Chicken Pitta 15PP Chips 9PP Coleslaw 5PP So 29PP in all - I actually had 27pp for the meal, so all was good. Thank god for the 49PP bonus points!! I did enjoy it! Nom nom!! Thanks for your help. xx

I only joined on Sunday. Bought the calculator and deal on 3 packs of bars. I'll buy the eating out guide this week. Think I'll hit Nandos then. Thanks ladies. Xx

Hi, I'm off to London shortly and me and my friend are going to go for dinner. There is a Nando's nearby, so thought that could be a good choice? Scared to venture into a random restaurant and make a bad choice. Any suggestions would be great and very much appreciated. Love Soph xx

Nice one hun! I'd need more than one bottle of wine to watch Eurovision!!! Fab weight loss. Thanks for sharing. xxx

So can anyone help me calculate carbs please. Xx

So having hovered in here for some time, I have decided I really like the atkins concept and have started today, however need to buy the books tomorrow as I want to do this properly. I actually started this morning hoping to get back on a VLCD, so had a lighterlife banana shake. The pack says...

Hi, If you only have porridge or weetabix with semi skimmed milk and sweetener at breakfast, would you take a pill? Soph xx

Hi, I'm having no luck finding the syn values to this soup, can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Sophie xxxxx

I've just started the body combat classes - my last session included teenage dirtbag, a song from glee (i think), I think we did a set called mortal combat? Loved it - cant wait for the next session.

Mine is in the oven now... the only problem is I didn't fold I whizzed the hell out of it?!?! I'll update you shortly!

Oh and yes, superfoods, on EE you need a third of your meal to be superfoods.

I'm still a newbie, my main advice is watch your carbs, and eat a little slower and ask yourself if you're satisfied. Like with dinner, I think to myself, have I had enough to see me through to breakfast? Good luck honey. xxxx

Well I am also on the depo and have lost 7lb in two weeks. It can take a while for your period to return yes, but in my experience, I have always managed to lose weight whilst on depo with no problem.

Welcome to SW. So what do you need help with? x

28g Chocolate Ready Brek is a HEXB! :D I'm sure it wasn't before?!?!? YUM!!!!

I bought the directory, the snacks book and the branded food book and paid £11.40 for all three.

Help please! I am going to make this for dinner tonight. If I am cooking for 3 people i.e 3 chicken breasts, how much diet coke should I use? Also, I was going to add onions, garlic and tomato ketchup - do you think that will be good with rice? x

Going to make on Tuesday to take to weigh in. Yummy! Thanks Britmum x

Chicken and bacon casserole, with carrots, onions, leeks and a side of brussels and mash! Got no heating so the farting may heat the house up a bit!!! Hehe!!

Good for you... nothing tastes as good as thin feels... i guess the saying is true! x

Oh I am sick to death of people saying "you're soooo pretty, if you only lost some weight".... Erm, you're soooo ugly, but at least you're thin!! LMAO!!!!

Good work - you must look a million dollars. P.S - after a 2lb gain this week (much deserved and I'm 100% back on track and refocused) you have inspired me. Thank you for sharing your success. xxx

infact I even think a honey flavoured one is mentioned...

I have the new 2011 books and the small branded food book lists the healthy extras and its in there... ;)

When I am thinner.... I will STILL wear big knickers.... thongs are so uncomfortable!!! :D :eek: :D

I joined 2 weeks ago and have lost 7lb already, still lots to learn about the diet, like cooking and choosing best options. I think you should join next week, don't keep putting it off honey. xx

second week and lost 4lb - got my half stone award and slimmer of the week, oh and won the raffle - a bottle of baileys!!! I'm still grinning! x

I've had the depo for years and returned to it earlier this year, I was shocked to have a bit of a bleed after 3 shots, but its all subsided now. It was the only time I have had that happen and I have used depo since I was about 19 and I'm 30 now. Having said that I have the depo 11 weekly...

Hi, Today I had a small latte (from a canteen costa coffee machine) it was made with semi skimmed milk, thats the only milk i had today, and want to count the milk as HEXA, how many syns do you think I should count?!?!? Thanks for your help. xxxx

Prawn & Vegetable Stir fry with noodles. I ended up making a dressing from low fat creme fraiche and a hungarian spice blend I found in my cupboard that i bought from a food fayre, it was pretty good!!! ;)

Thanks ladies. TBH I hate making things like sauces so I think I need a trip to Morrisons!

I adore chocolate weetabix and just checked and the syns online said it was 8 syns on all plans! Can we make it lower syns by counting as HEXB? Weetabix Weetabix, Chocolate 2 biscuits 8 Syns on Extra Easy Original 8 Syns Green 8 Syns

Do any of you make your own stir fry sauce? :confused: Or can you recommend some low syn ones please! Bought a spicy schwezuan one from Tesco - tiny jar = 25 syns!!!:eek: Looked tomato based so thought i was making a good guess!! How wrong was I! I am having a prawn stir fry tonight, i have...

How come porridge oats and ready brek count as a HEXB but a 25g sachet of original Paw Ridge isn't?!?!?!? I'm soooo confused!!!:confused: Was hoping to have it for breakfast tomorrow! :( Quaker Oats Paw Ridge, Original Porridge Oats, dried 25g sachet 4½ Syns on Extra Easy...

Ok, so i have just converted todays food to the green plan, the turkey i had was minimal - one turkey steak was split into 3 dinners (two for the freezer)!!!!!!!! And the bacon was thin and just the medalion section so again, not much (but not weighed)... The alpen light bars i have calculated...

Yes i did fry the eggs - thanks for that, I guess not all the oil was consumed but I didn't realise so counted the whole tbsp! Won't be frying anymore, poached are much nicer anyway!!!

I use the HEXA for tea every day, only have 3 cups a day which is under 250ml.... I realised today I hadn't had enough superfree, I will just ensure tomorrow is all about fruit and veg! Porridge for breakfast using HEXA and HEXB Huge fruit salad for lunch then vegetable stir fry and...

Thank you. I think I will try and devise a 7 day meal planner and cram it with SS foods!!! The boyfriend has just booked Euro Disney for 7th Jan and I am determined to get a stone off before then!! xxxx

Hope you're all well. I joined SW on Tuesday and so far, I don't feel like I am even dieting.. getting a bit concerned that I have missed something... If this is really a diet then damn I wish I had found SW sooner!! Today I have eaten the following: Breakfast: 2 poached eggs, baked beans...

Don't worry, I figured it out! Mug Shots is the frickin brand.... Lol!

Hi guys, Been trying the online syns checker but cannot find mug shots anywhere, tried symingtons and symingtons ltd, does any one know the syn values of each flavour please? xxxx

I'm here most evenings, there are lots of lovely people in the SW forum and you'll be made to feel very welcome. xxxx

Has anyone ever tested the super speed food theory? If it will make a real difference I may be tempted to put a weekly menu together to give me a boost. xxxxxxx

Turkey & salad, followed by pineapple and strawberries.

Thanks Jaylou. Will do, still getting my way around the SW section....it's HUGE!!!!

Yep that was the first section I tried.... I have my books at work, so I'll have to look in there later.... pain in the bum!!!

I am a member of SW and have spent the last 20 mins trying to get the syn value of sunflower oil.... but the syns online system is not playing today! I have tried to get the syns for a tbsp of sunflower oil.... I have typed in: Sunflower oil, sunflower, oil, even tried under tesco's but it...

I'd like to know as well, as I can only imagine it takes horrid, but if it helps shift the pounds I will give it a try!

Salmon, Lemon & Coriander Couscous and Broccoli!

Lol! I feel safe on SW - no mention of quinoa (or however it's spelt!!) anywhere! She's barking mad! I think she needs help! I don't think taking part in the jungle will help her career.... However, Nigella making love to her recipes seems to get my male friends all flustered!!!

I just read that Gillian McKeith and Nigella Lawson are the same age!?!?! WTF?!?!? :eek: Not sure what to make of that really............. I know which I'd prefer to look like!!!

OMG Laura!!! Look how well you're doing!!!! I feel honoured to be taken under your wing!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wow, you ladies have made me feel so welcome already. Thank you. xx I haven't done a VLCD for a while, and only did 5 days last week. I've accepted a slower weight loss, but one which doesn't make me feel anti-social or depressed or weak. I'm in this for the long haul and will need to accept...

Thanks Laura, I'm really excited! I tried to get the SW magazine yesterday, but none of the shops near me had it in stock. Will buy that tonight with any books I'll need. When I decided the VLCD was not for me, I saw how many people were viewing this thread and thought to myself that this must...

Hi I have decided I can't do a VLCD and I'm joining SW this evening. Would you please take a look at what I have eaten today and give me an idea if you think I will do well on SW. I had an idea of the extra easy plan and have tried to have a day along the basis of that plan. Breakfast...

Wow, you look awesome and at least ten years younger. You seem to be about the same age as me, with the same starting weight... I wonder if you could give me an honest expectation of loose skin? I'm quite paranoid about how bad it may be, but you look amazing!!! xxx

Many thanks for that. Day 2 almost over! Yay! Please god let me get through Day 3! Can you tell me how many days before you received your delivery? I have 11 days supply at the moment and don't want to leave myself short!! This xmas offer needs to make an appearance and quick!!!

Hi, Will be ordering a supply of shakes this week, (holding out for the potential offer - thanks for the heads up Starlight), just wondering what kind of dates the packs have? I'm on day two, using up old LL stock... god i won't miss the chilli con carne packs.... just gross! Sophie x

Hi, I'm used to the cambridge diet packs, but the price of Exante is very appealing. Just wondering what the packs are like in comparison? Thanks, Sophie xx

Here's my main problem too. I don't want to give my daughter convenient processed meals.... but cooking for her is when I tend to cheat....

Sending you a cyber hug... Hope you feel a bit brighter soon hun. x

Thanks everyone - so its day one, I've had a choc shake, vanilla shake and the chilli con carne so far. I loved the chilli was much better than I had expected it to be! I'll be having a soup later I think, and an early night. Can't wait for the next few days to pass!

Hey Evenstar, I start tomorrow hun, I would love to be your buddy! x

Hi, My name is Sophie and tonight I am attending my first LL session. It appears there will be 8 or 9 women in my group and I hope we are all going to bond and support each other through our journey. Quite excited and feeling motivated. I would love some miminin's buddies as well, so please...

I am hoping to be with you tomorrow ladies, I have a weeks supply and will ring my counsellor once I have reached day 5. Fingers crossed!

Hey! Well its day 2 for me too! We can do this! I am feeling surprisingly fine - and if i get the dreaded headache tonight I'll just have an early night... WE CAN DO THIS! X

Hi, I have done Slimming World before and I got on really well with it, so feel that to get some weight off again, this is the best diet for me. I am one hell of a carb junkie so live on green days mainly!!! Can you tell me if the book you are given when you join has a bluey coloured cover...

Hi, Can anyone please tell me if the Realeat Vegemince is free on a green day or how many syns it is? Thanks, Sophie xxxx

Sounds okay then, so don't let it make you stop. :D I am on day 1 of a restart so I am feeling your pain hun! :cry:

Just don't eat anything else hun, you shouldn't do to much damage, as long as there was no butter on the crackers. You may drop out of ketosis for a short period, it depends how sensitive your body is. Stay focused - it's worth it! xx

Thanks for you help. x

My periods stopped for 8 months when I did Sole Source last year. They are back now and regular, however I'm starting SS again today so we'll see what happens.

Hi, I have loads tetras to use and really want a mousse, but I've never made one from a tetra before. Can anyone help please? ASAP - I'm gagging! xxx

OK so today has officially been crap - my company has a pathetic sick policy and because I was off last week and had 4 occasions in last 12 months (although one drops off in 10 days!) I have to attend a sickness hearing..... Have got the union representing me as one occasion was the result of...

Wow your losses have been fantastic honey. I bet you feel great! Hope today has been good for you. Love Sophie xxx

Well, where do I begin.... I have been big all my life.... when I met my husband in 2001 I was a size 16 / 18 and had a very active life (I was an 18 - 30's holiday rep and also regularly took part in scuba diving and swimming). Since settling down and having my daughter, I have ended up at my...

Hello everyone... Have had a cold for about 10 days now. Have to work tomorrow and rang in sick last week so really desperate to feel a bit better. Have Lemsips but wondered if anyone knew the points value of one? No information on packet....... What do ya reckon? Sophie xxxx

Hi guys! Thanks for your advice... well I went and my official WW weight was 17st 1lb! I was happy with that as my last CD weigh in last week was 17st exact - only a pound on - but had a huge prawn salad and jacket potato just before I went so probably nothing in it at all! Have bought the...

How much will it cost me tonight? Membership is free at the moment isn't it?

Hello! I'm kinda new - have chatted to a few of you during my transition from CD to WW. Help - meant to be propperly joining WW tonight... but I am really gonna be upset if I have gained loads... and as I have just had dinner, and usually get weighed in the mornings... feel the WW scales could...

Gemma, You have done really well.... i was gonna stick to CD for another week but i have a stinking cold and needed something real to eat. I will have the 1 shake a day and a small meal.... may not use all the packs they are handy to have for if my little girl gets sick - she loves the MAM and...

Well not that exotic... Fuerteventura Canary Islands... I have a 20 month old daughter and we went there last summer and loved it. Will be sharing my meals with her and I don't drink alcohol so nothing to worry about there... however, there is a wonderful ice cream parlour which i will do my...

Thanks Gemma, Ok will do that.. will have a shake for breakfast and a light early evening meal.... Have actually lost 2st 6lbs on CD - had wanted to lose 3 stone before my holiday which is in 4 weeks (yesterday).... do you think that will still be achievable - even if i lose another 4 -6lbs...

Yeah the frozen quorn swedish meatballs are tasty aren't they. Definately my fave quorn product - hate the quorn mince prefer realeats soya mince (usually found next to the quorn in the freezer section).

Yep thats it plus lots of cups of tea with skimmed milk and about 1 litre of water... I love mackeral (yummy yummy)! CDC and me had a bit of a fall out.. she was useless basically.... but also i have ended up paranoid about eating again..... I don't care about ketosis... but was now gonna...

and Overtiredmum! You were off-line a little while ago but you have been a great help too.... So what do you think?

Hi hun, I don't have an option to PM you... I am still on CD but in process of switching to WW (spoke to you about this a week or two ago). I have had 2 CD shakes today but then ate a tin of mackeral in tomato sauce and 2 slices of toast..... I have been having chicken in addition to my 3 CD...

The bison burger is gorgeous and bison is meant to be very lean meat so if you had it with no cheese and some a salad should not be to many points. Think they have salmon (and crocodile steak) on the menu too! I love eating there - have a fab night! Sophie x

Instead of SSing I am having 3 packs + 200ml skimmed milk and a chicken breast each day.... so i suppose I'm kinda on 810 cals. I really struggle with the water but do get about 2.5 litres of calorie free fluid down (tea and water with the flavouring!) Shall I carry on doing this for another 5...

Thats great honey,I'd be well chuffed with any loss during change over of diets. I have about 10 days CD supply left then i am coming over to WW. My CDC annoyed me this week and to be honest its financially killing me! How did you change over? Can you give me some advice please... I really...

I saw my CDC today - not very happy that i wanted to change to 810 plan... Said I will be ok if I do an add a meal week, but it was never food that was the issue, it was that I couldn't drink the water. To be honest there was no advice, I was told to go on my way and see her next week. That...

Thanks, I have been battling with the water for 5 weeks now but this last week I have only managed about 1 litre a day and feel absolutey miserable....

Thanks for your reply... Did you do any of the other CD plans when you changed? I am doing SS and have been told I MUST work through all the plans before I stop - but if I can't drink the water I don't see the point...... I have lost 23lbs on CD and expect to gain maybe 5 - 6lb initially but...

How do you make jelly with the Mix a Mousse? Very excited now!! Please tell me... this could be the answer for me!

Dunno about missing periods - but just had my first one on CD and it lasted 11 days. It was truly the worst and most painful period of my life..... My CDC seems to think my body is adjusting to the diet and they will settle. Hope its nothing serious (I'm sure it won't be) but would recommend...

Hello everyone, I'm struggling with the water... but feel fine.... I probably manage min of 1.5L a day - sometimes do manage 3L (but only about 2 or 3 times a week). If I feel ok, is this such a big issue? :sign0144:

Hi, Just voted.... hope they are the lucky ones. Have added to another forum I am joined to. I hope you don't mind. Hopefully they can beat the other couple that have a 2% lead at the moment! Sophie xxx
