Once i hit target i completely forgot about posting my before and afters so here they are several months later :) The first photo is taken immediately after my first SW meeting. Drinking with friends and switched out the beer for water :P The second is 16 weeks later out shopping for medium...

Lost 3 stone in 4 months with slimming world and thats with dominos, chinese and choc :)

From what i can tell there are loads of different names for this. Basically there are strips on chicken think they are breadcrumb cant remember offhand :P With our chinese there isnt much sause with it....Just wondering how many syns would be in it. Have tried looking on slimming world...

I would also like to know the syns on this product. Working it out per calories it works out at around 11 syns but i assume u can take quite a bit off for the chicken/noodle and salad in it.

Just found a new sauce that i like its called American BBQ Sauce from Red Dog Foods. From what i can gather its a family owned business and doesn't have any nutritional info on the jar. Do you think it would be safe enough to syn this the same as other bbq sauses at 1 syn a tablespoon ?

Couple of things to respond to :P First off i just checked the book and think i see were i went wrong. It says Wholemeal Bread Full Size 400/800g loaf Thin Slice 3 Medium Slice 4 Large slice 5 But in my defense shouldn't there be a separate section for the 400g and the 800g loaf ? Secondly...

First off getting close to target now so thanks to everyone who has been answering my questions over the past month or so :) I was planning on attempting to make a stir fry tonight. I got some chinese noodles and some blue dragon stir fry sachets. I cant seem to find the specific brand on the...

I was just thinking that healthy extras are glorified syns. Each healthy extra is about 3 syns. So 6 syns a day thats 42 a week. I understand that healthy extras are good to have for general nutrition but does it increase weight loss or just overall healthiness. I only mention this as i...

Thanks to everyone for the help :) Especially ermintrude you seem to answer all my threads :)

I have just got an actifry and it required a spoonful of oil to crisp up the chips. Currently we are using regular oil as our cook doesnt think a few syns of regular oil will matter :P Im just wondering if it would be better to use a spoonful of fry light over a spoonful of real oil. Cheers, JP

I had a bit of trouble in my first few weeks with the rules of slimming world and so i decided to start a blog. In the blog i talk about the first few weeks of slimming world the basics and plan to expand it and post daily about new recipes. I wasn't sure were on the forums i should put...

Wasnt sure what catagory to put this under so forgive me if im in the wrong area but.... As of tomarro i will hopefully have my stone and a half award and i dont feel like anything has really changed. I have seen pictures of what a pound of fat looks like and honestly if i have shed 21 of...

Extra lean mince is syn free by itself...Just stick some chopped up onion in the pan any other herbs and spices you want and then chuck in the mince :) Add a bit of passata to it At the same time cook up some pasta. Soon as its cooked throw it all together and enjoy :) You could also get a...

I cant find the recipe using the pizza dough, but this might help FREE PIZZA RECIPE 1 x bag of SMASH (apparently the cheaper the make the better, so will try it with smartprice instant mash soon) tomato puree any cheese(s) from health extras oregano and basil any toppings such as onion...

My C seems to think that for guys weight comes off the beer gut first. For women its meant to be around the waist. Im sure alot of you have first hand experience so were does it attually come off. Ive lost nearly 1.5 stone and my beer belly is as big as ever. I would go as far to say my...

I enjoy plenty of curly wurlys and even a mars bar once a week or fortnight. For me if i don't have any syns i will lose more but going a full week without any syns is hard and starts to feel like a diet, god forbid.

I just read that Batchlors Pasta and Sause ranges from 0 - 2.5 syns for the whole packet. With going from school to work i sometimes dont have the time to prepare a proper meal and would be nice to no about any other pre packages foods out there with similar yummyness for low syns ?

Thanks looked around for the sub category within the slimming world section and couldn't find it :P Will go and check again. And oats arnt healthy i find that very odd :P But i am new to the plan :) Cheers, JP

Need some advise as to whether or not this is a healthy extra. On the healthy extra list it mentions Jordan's brand but not specifically this product. It has raisins, almond and oats so i was thinking that its bound to be low in syns if not a healthy extra. Can anyone shed some light on it...

I have heard a few people saying if the scales don't represent what you have eaten that week then it will show next week. Weather it is not showing that you had a healthy week or a bad week. For example in my second week on slimming world i fell of the rails a bit. Had a kebab, 12 pints and a...

Good to know :P I figured that they wouldn't have the big version online so didn't both checking :p Will no for again

Thanks, that sounds about right. Don't suppose u could tell me where u got that info ?

Well i was just brought back a 400g toblerone from someone on holiday. Needless to say i don't want to touch it without finding out the syn values. I used the Syns calculator on the SW website and the results are 1.5 Syns per 100g. 100g is 4 big chunks of the toblerone and cant be...

You are very right :p I only attually noticed that mushy peas and beans were free not superfree shortly after writing that recipe :) As i say im new and a really thought that beans would have been superfree but.... :P Looks like i will be putting in more revision time on my SW book :) The...

This was my attempt to make the potato smileys we all loved as children. It kind of went wrong but it was still tasty and i cant see any mention of them on the forums so enjoy :) This is also my first post so go easy on me! :confused: Ingredients Potatos 1 Egg Spices and Herbs (Up to u)...

Hello everyone. Just started SW a couple of weeks ago. Lost 10.5 in 2 weeks so very happy :) Going to be using the forums quite a bit so thought i might as well show my face here first :) Am looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing some recipies :)

After 2 weeks on SW EE i went out and had a burger, chips, pepper sauce and a pint. The next morning i woke up with what i can only describe as a massive hangover. I felt groggy didnt want to get out of bed took me 3 or 4 hours to shake it :) I vote for for the shock to the system idea...

I just had marmite on toast and it was tasty :)

Im new to slimming world aswell (2 weeks) and i know how complicated it can be. It gets easier just read your books and stay for the meetings and it will all fall into place. A nice tip for using your healthy extras is to have 2 pieces of toast (wholemeal weight watchers) with 28g of cheese on...

Hey everyone new to the forums and slimming world but thought i would jump in the deep end. Second week and so far 10.5lb off, and got a nice wee slimmer of the week award :)
