Not keen either which is annoying as it's soooo expensive I tried to make hot choc with it ....., don't

Most people have there lunch and eat after they get home i weigh in at 9.30am. Everyone does What works for them but do the same every week and you will be fine

Do to mean before weigh in

And drink plenty of water after as Chinese is very salty so help flush out any water retention Lots of great choices though at the chinese just avoid the fried starters have soup which is low syns and 5 prawn crackers is only 1.5 syns Lots of rice noodles and bit of your favourite meat and...

Love the Xmas pudding ones they fell so naughty and lovely warmed with muller light

2.5lb on this morning that's two weeks and we went away for Xmas on holiday so I'm kinda made up really a lot less of a gain than I thought Onwards and downwards

Are you putting the free food allowance into the syns calculator? or looking at the red days? there's no reason why they would be synned I can think so might be how your entering it in x

Or a few pickled onions and gherkins maybe all slings good though x

what about a buffet sw style loads of syn free things you can make in advance and then a half syn cake. Save all your syns for wine! You could do mini meatballs, sticky chicken, lots of lovely salads and dressings. I would love that if someone did that for me. a real party tea

cabbage lol. Most people I have spoke to who like green tea have one of the variety ones. Green tea with pineapple or mint or ginger. Me personally I think you would have to pay me to drink it. Yuk but I'm not a lover of any herbal teas, just like my builders tea. I don't see why you couldn't...

I love fried peppers onions and mushrooms and heB of Kerry low low stirred in so yummy on a jacket

gammon, spring onion and mushroom omelette lush

I could have written this myself word for word (we even have similar names and pics lol)! But not much help Im afraid. The last few weeks for me were -2, +4, -4, +3 so its not even little losses/gains its huge ones. I just keep trying to plod on set myself mini goals and keep going

Lots of people do it from home, if you have a good set of scales (not like mine that change by three pounds depending where you put them in the room)! and if you take advantage of the support from this forum. You should be fine :). If you havent done SW in a while it might be worth having a look...

a lady in my class on her first week lost half a pound. She was gutted and our consultant feared she may get dishartened and go home and spoil her week. But she didnt she perservered had another good week and lost 7 pound in her second week. I do believe if you are good it will show but not...

the biggest and best thing you can do today is to put it behind you. Draw a line and start afresh. Dont let yesterday spoil your plan for today. Drink lots of water as I get very bloated after eating rubbish. You might have a gain on weigh in but if you have a good few days now you will be able...

Hope that pic works - chicken breast wrapped in bacon with heA cheese and BBQ sauce loads of veg and jacket potato, lush

its free on all days, enjoy! i remember what veg is not free on red days by saying PPPS (potatoes, parsnips, peas and sweetcorn)

I buy reduced fat peanut butter 4syns a tbsp so only 2 syns for the recipe. Everything else was free And it was scrummy and super quick to make

Sounds like a great day! There would be syns In the low fat mayo not sure how many will be in the book. But yes it's a great plan I was always so hungry on ww too!

49.50 unless you over 60

Stir fry veg, noodles and satay sauce (1/2 tbsp peanut butter, knorr stockpot, chilli flakes, 100mls water and soy sauce) it was lovely

Aaaaaaahhhhhh stuck in all day with the kids as the weather is bad and just made double choc chip cookies with my little girl. Wow they smell so good. But I've had a special k chewey delight and a cup of tea. @12 syns per cookie really not worth it

also i havent tried it myself as i like tomato currys and Petes peanut curry is creamy enough for me but some people swear by blitzed cauliflower. there is a thread somewhere.

Made syn free pancakes with baked apple and 1tbsp of mincemeat (HeB) with some fromage frais. it was delicious and very filling

Hi Laurenac how much weight do you roughly have to lose? and how much have you lost to date? I have about 3-4 stone to lose so 15 syns a day would be fine and I still lose 2-3lb a week having 15 syns . But for someone who only has less than a stone maybe 15 syns a day is too many. The recommend...

poorly for me means soup! what about a nice minestrone with pasta or even rice and lots of veg, chicken, bacon. or a good one pot throw it all in stew. My little girl loves stew. pop it all in the slow cooker if you have one. saves you having to watch it and you will have a nice meal tonight...

I would say definately yes, read this thread http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/100149-slimming-world-advice-new-comers-including-extra-easy.html it will give you more information about the plan and any questions that newcomers may have, but any questions please ask

Bacon Sarnie with tsb marg and a bowl of mixed frozen berries with yoghurt and a nice big brew

Welcome to the board, A stone and half since September is fantastic well done! If you are a little stuck my consultant always suggests going back to basics like its your first week all over again. Read the Pack again, Write a food diary, measure your milk and cereal etc. also try and mix it up...

Lovely story but didnt like the overuse of carrot sticks sounds like the only thing you are allowed to eat! Lol incredible women though

Doesn't sound like your eating enough to me will you be having your syns too?

Always Go for what it says in the website over the book as that is updated quite regularly but our books are updated annually

I can't post a link but If you google slimming world Spanish orange cake there is a lovely one on the sw website

Salt and pepper chips they were lovely

Also a good tip is to buy snacks for your boys that you don't like. I'm not keen on white chocolate so I would buy that for them to eat

The magazine is a good start. This issue has some lovely recipes to try and some fab stories to inspire. I would really recommend writing a weekly menu and shopping for that so you have all the ingredients in for the next week. Remember to include snacks in your meal planning yoghurt fruit etc...

Hello and welcome it is my first day today too, I'm rejoining tonight from a good 2 month break have no idea how much I've gained but strangely looking forward to it. This forum is really great for support and new recipes etc and there is a thread somewhere called Wednesday at home weighers if...

yummmmmmy Pete. I have to have a cooked breakfast now!! I always do fried potatoes too, start them off in the microwave and finish in the pan with the bacon. Nimble bread sprayed with frlight and popped in the frying pan is also surprisingly nice. Grilled tomatoes, baked beans, scambled AND...

tinned tuna is a fab budget meal about 50-60p a tin and mixed with pasta and veg makes a lovely family meal. I agree with everyone about Aldi fruit and beg soooo much cheaper. With meat, I do meatfree mondays where we will have smash pizza or jacket potatoes etc. Also a whole chicken for me is...

made this again last night favourite in our house now x

Scrambled egg mix in with peppers, spring onion, mushrooms and tomatoes with a splash of worchester sauce, lovely!

lentils are not free on a red day neither are parsnips or beans, would estimate it to be quite high red day syns. Better off having it on an extra easy day or green day. Im having it for lunch all this week too after my maintain on tuesday.

Having this for tea tonight cant wait!

Im rubbish at getting the liquid right too so I only really use it for whole joints of meat when doing a sunday dinner. someone told me they cook there jacket potatoes in there too and taste lovely. havent tried that myself tho. the new All in one recipe book has some lovely slow cooker recipes...

well done thats hard esp when they buy them esp. for you all to enjoy. Im proud that I have took the time out today to treat myself to a lovely homemade lunch (pic in the lunch thread). Im normally so rushed

trying a new recipe from the book - one pot wonders. Spicy lentils, aubergine and spinach stew. Got it bubbling away now and smells lovely.

Yesterday I had french toast. nimble bread dipped in eggs milk vanilla, fried in frylight and sprinkled with cinnamon. topped with banana and yoghurt. Best breakfast Ive had in ages, yum

Well done on your loss and going to class! This thread should near enough be a sticky as it really is one of the fundemental rules of joining a group. You have to go when you have had a bad week. I have had three weeks off plan and ate for england, we were on holiday for most of it so I enjoyed...

Make up some syn free dips, lots of ideas if you search on this forum. for instance quark with garlic puree and herbs, hummus etc. Lots of strips of veg. Huge bowl of grapes and a large curly wurly. You can have a feast then.

Beans and salad ... no no no Pete! lol. your eggs always look so perfect though, do you put the lid on when cooking them? and the spag bol looks so gorgeous, thats tea sorted tonight!

Im sure there is a trick to stop you cutting all the way through the potato and I forgotten it!

3.5 loss for me too. got my two stone award and SOTW. Made up with my nice big bag of fruit. Great class. Good luck for tonights evening weighers

Good luck today everyone, I want my two stone award today please nice scales!

firstly a HUGE congratualtions on getting to target. well done you, you have done amazingly well. Large class groups are hard for both members and consultants as you get hardly anytime to see her. Someone who is at target will be able to help you better but from what I gather the only advice...

just came on here to say Ive just made the chicken tikka massala from the curry heaven book. The whole family just pushed it around the plate it was pretty yak. so DD and DH had hot cross buns instead. I just struggled on and ate mine. wont be making that again.

what about a side salad with it?

This is the coranation chicken from the latest magazine. Absolutley delish. Im so full now! :)

Had two HeBs to use up as Im on a green day. So I had h/m tomato basil & chilli soup with my version of brushcetta - 2 slices of nimble toasted, rubbed with garlic, then lots of tomato, red onion, basil leaves and Olive oil. It was devine

my favourite at the mo is Tomato basil and chilli soup with Garlic Cheese smash pizza bread for dipping. Its heaven and only 1HeA

what about buying back copies on ebay pre-EE days. 2008 and before they would all be red and green then? some people do bundles of them. Recipes never really go out of date too much, just remember any recent changes. Might be worth a thought

I bought it in morrisons yesterday. I asked the lady if they stocked it and she looked at me like I had two heads. But I found it myself. In the spices section, next to the lazy garlic, lazy ginger and other pastes

clearing the loft last night and found a giant white chocolate toberlone left over from xmas it was put in the decorations box by mistake. OMG I wanted it so much. but instead I brought it down gave it to my OH and told him that I never wanted to see it again! He was made up

OMG I could of written this. My other half hasnt paid me one single compliement in 10 years! But he doesnt say anything bad either, just his way I suppose :confused:

crayons

depends how much time you have really. Have you considered NCT sales? They are great for individual items such as coats, swimwear, nice jeans, cardigans etc etc. You would get £1-£4 per item. the carboot is tough. I have both bought and sold clothes there and when I buy childrens clothes I...

I put mine in for about 4-5 hours but I kept taking it out and stiring it to aviod big ice crystals. It was yummy

mine has to be my homemade mint dressing. Im having it on everything. salad, chicken, rice, dip for chips etc etc Its so simple to make tastes lovely and Im gutted I didnt discover it sooner. VLF Fromage frais, teaspoon mint sauce and squirt lemon juice. Im Obsessed! lol

OH came home with mini cream cake selection from M&S. and shoved them in my face. I enjoyed the smell but that was it! lol

Sarah to stay tonight please. It made my blood boil last week seeing all the bullying going on, gave me horrible memories from school. would love Kevin to go what a female dog he is. But suspect it might be Amy Mac.

Stevie wonder I just called to say I love you. I didnt know that! thanks to this thread I do now. what a great song! xx

some great ideas on here thanks. Im breastfeeding and my LO is going through a huge growth spurt atm so Im ravenous all the time. Ive had to start having supper before I go to bed to get me through the night. But I had never thought of making a big batch of soup for the fridge. I will do that...

Got my shiny new book this morning and Allbran is now........ 35g omg, not happy. So I thought they may round it down to 40g, that I could be ok with but to put it on par with other cereal such as luxury museli doesnt seem right to me. :confused: l

I spotted this too, 35g of porridge is GRRREAT. I wonder how much allbran we will be allowed I hope they dont round it down to 40g.

could always use white nimble? havent had that in ages is it still a HeB?

thank you for the recipe, I made this last night it was delish and my 3 year old loved it! Sprouts an' all!
