I'm eating grapes like sweets, really have a taste for them this pregnancy! Luckily my husband doesn't like grapes if he did and stole mine, he may be losing a few fingers lol :-)

Thanks ladies for all your advice! That's what I need to stop doing beating myself up. The problem with me is all or nothing and I've always been like that. So I think I'll eat everything get the cravings/ stuff out the way and start tomorrow but then it doesn't work like that :-/ after a while...

I think I need to go back to get my mojo back! Ooh not much between us I'm due in the 10th of July! :-) x

Hello :-) #waves furiously#

Sw makes sense and when I'm on plan I have less acid reflux! Just wish I could do it, it's those damn raging hormones that take over ;-) I get that achey twitchy leg thing, lol drives me mad. Think we sometimes have to give ourselves a break, think its because last time when I was pregnant and...

Hope it happens for you :-)

Hello ladies, I've been following your posts for a little while and would love to join in. I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second boy, I had problems at the start of my pregnancy and had to have cvs (taking some placenta) but luckily everything is fine and well....... apart from my eating :-( it...

Completely agree ( no pun intended) :-)

Asda mini meringue nests are only 1.5 syns for 2 so even more yummyness :-)

Good luck tomorrow! Like the poster before said I hope it all pays off! Sometimes we need a bit of naughty ;-)

I feel for you, I get this everytime I'm due on, it's horrible and when you give In you feel even worse and nothing you eat satisfies that craving you get. I don't have alot of motivating words I'm afraid just didn't want to read and run. Hope you can ride it out and it gets better x

Hot (no added sugar) ribena! Lovely on a cold day!

You'll do it no problem :-) good luck x

Put on a lb today so not as bad as I thought I'm happy with that after the bad week! Feeling better today! Hope everyone is doing ok x

Count me in :-) my portion control is still huge and I finish everything on my plate, and go back for seconds! If I make enough for two I usually eat it all :-/ eeek and I still want thick sliced white bread covered in chocolate spread!! X

Thanks hun, it's so hard thou when you don't even wanna look at food, let alone cook, lol! I'm feeling better today thou so it's getting better :-) I've had a bad week this week!! My scales are saying a 4lb gain and I've got weigh in tomorrow! So dreading it :-/ good luck with yours xxxx

If you can't be a bit naughty when pregnant when can you :-) I'm getting weighed Friday and dreading it :-/

I've tried to stick to it today, actually tried a gren day as eating salad or veg is making my stomach turn :-( whereas last week I couldn't get enough of the stuff! I'm trying to graze but hard to do that when on SW as there's nothing really quick you can grab! I'm just craving stodge when I'm...

Don't beat yourself up I've put on 6lbs in the lady week :-( think its cause I can't eat some days and then eating naughty things so hanging on to everything! If you're sticking to plan it's that beautiful baby growing inside you :-) x

Hope you get a decent nights sleep soon :-) x

I know how you feel, I'm zapped of energy! Hope you feel better soon, just relax today! Batch cooking can wait, you'll be doing a lot of that when baby comes :-) x

Thank you ladies! Feel a little better today not as sick managed a cup of tea but just want to eat stodgy stuff but then when I go to make it makes me feel sick! :-(

Oh my god! Sickness has hit me like a tonne of bricks! Can't even function I feel nauseous from the minute I wake until I go to bed! My first wasn't this bad, or maybe I can't remember! All I can say is I'm gonna give birth to one hairy baby!!! How do you all cope with sickness?? :-(

Tell me about it, I fantasise about white bread and chocolate spread! Sickness hadsnt been too bad but last couple of days really bad :-( how you feeling tired wise? Some days I'm ok but some I feel sooo weak! X

Thank you Hun, ill ask for the booklet in my next class, glad it's changed! More food woohoo!! :-)

Congratulations to you too :-) now I am so confused , I did classes when I was breast feeding and I was only allowed 1 extra a! I was so deprived! Lol ill have to ask my consultant at my next class :-) x

Hey guys, decided to join this thread! Was doing sw since August (and a few times before that :-/) just found out I'm pregnant, about 6 1/2 weeks :-) hope all you ladies are coping well with sickness! I just want comfort food after the sickness has gone! I've done SW for both my pregnancies...

Thank you! I thought so :-( damn it! Thanks for taking the time to reply x

Need some syn advice quick, cooking a nice dinner for my hubby tonight for his birthday, I'm cooking a roast but cooking the potatoes in with the chicken and the juices are running over the potatoes so will I need to syn these? Thank you in advance :-) help!

That looks yum! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

I used mr mash on mine! They were lovely and syn free x

Thank you so much for all the information you've given me. Good luck for your interview I'm sure you'll smash it :-)

Posted twice! Sorry x

Well done! :-) good luck with it! Blimey 3000 leaflets? That'll take a while! X

Sounds too good to be true! Keep us updated :-) id love to hear how ur getting on! I'm sure you'll be very successful you seem very determined! I wonder if theyll tell you not to come on here, as seem to be no consultants on this forum or if its just not worth it as youre trying to run a...

Thank you and Thanks for taking the time to reply! I say go for it :-) sounds brill! Very quick, that is scary :-) but it will be a good challenge! so once one group is up and running you may be able to buy another licence if it goes well I'm assuming? My consultant has 4 groups :-) x

Do they give you an area for the money too? You just need to find a site? X

I'd love to do this :-) how did you go to the info meeting did you just ring them? Is it 10 hours a week per group? Sorry for the questions just really interested, want to do it once my little boy goes to nursery so I only work part time at the moment so hopefully have time to put the work in as...

You look absolutely gorgeous! You were before too! That dress is beautiful! :-)

Wow you look amazing! Fantastic

You are stunning! You look amazing! Your smile says it all :-) btw was that holiday pic in st Lucia? X

Wow that is amazing! Well done! So inspirational

I'd love to do this once my little one is a bit bigger! Wish you all the luck in the world!

True, I thought that myself! Was trying to be cheeky as half a syn means an extra Greek style lemon yogurt ;-) thank you x

Anyone know the syn value of this options? Some are 2 syns ie the white choc one and others ie cracking hazelnut are 1.5 syns. They are all listed apart from this one? I don't know how they decide the difference as both around 40 cals and if using the 20 cal - 1 syn rule then they should all be...

Wow amazing! Such an inspiration! You have achieved so much, although that mirror could do with a clean :-p

I tried these but no matter how sloppy or dry I made them I couldn't bind them so used an egg and they were easier to handle

This was so delicious! Thank you!! Couldn't tell the difference between these and 'normal goujons' xx blooming lovely xx

Tried this :-) thank you, was so so yummy coukdnt tell the difference between mine and normal chicken goujons x

Did your mushroom soup today! Wow!!! Thank you!! X

Yeah hopefully it'll burn off the extra energy, let me know how it goes. Try mentally tiring him out too with games where he has to work for them. The fighting may have become a learnt behaviour if it has been going on a little while, dogs are very good at sorting out their differences thou and...

I'm a dog trainer I'd love to help you! Where do you live? ( I go thru a box of wine puppy or no puppy, lol) x

Beautiful girlie :-) glad you have a nice man that'll treat you right, make sure you work on your body magic ;-) lol

The lady was a target member I should add, she didnt have to pay a joining fee, she just had a weeks grace then paid until she was within target :-) if you want to rejoin you need to have at least 7lbs to lose x

I dunno if this will help but once you are at target you need to weigh in every 6/7 weeks like you have been doing. if you are at target you have a weeks grace so if you go outside your target range you have a week to pull it back in and if not then you just pay per normal until your back down...

5/100 :-)

Can I join? :-) I've had 4 100% days :-) had a little too much alcohol on Wednesday over my syns so I'm 4/100 today :-)

Baby chickens with lots of salad!

It's 2 syns per 100g on original and ee and 8 syns per 100g on green :-)

Just checked syns online definitely 0.5syns for the Thai noodle :-)

He's not worth it :-) there's plenty guys that should treat you right, keep looking :-) get those baby cuddles soon! X

Sounds delish! Must try this! Thanks :-)

Awwwwww what happened? Yeah baby cuddles are the way to go :-)

I've started back too, need to get back to target! We can all do this!! X

Oohh good luck ;-)

You look amazing! Well done! If the ex did see ya he'd be kicking himself I bet! You've done fantastic x

Looking hot! Amazing! :-) a real inspiration x

I make it myself, tastes really nice got the recipe off here from Pete (bilsat) I think. It's basically a bag of curly kale (take the chunky stalks off) spray a baking tray with fry light lay and then spread the curly kale out and spray with fry light and cover with sweetener! Keep checking and...

Super Noodles and crispy sweet curly kale (tastes like crispy seaweed) feels like you're having a Chinese and all free :-)

Cheesy vegetable pasta! Yummy!

Cheese scones and tinned tomatoes :-)

Like you i dont recognise my time of the month until the next day either but this made me laugh so much! Can't stop giggling x

My husband does exactly the same!!!! How does it get on the hob?!! And why the plate??? Lol x

Did anyone see this programme last week? I missed last nights but will watch it on catch up! It's soooo interesting, in the 70s they introduced low fat products to keep with trend but to keep the flavour bunged in a load of sugar, they didn't think this would make them fat as it wasn't actual...

Ha ha this made giggle!

Hey I'm trying to recover from bulimia too :-) SW is great for not making you feel deprived and I am an all or nothing person too which I'm trying to change. My advice would be not to get too hung up on syns, I would find that if I went slightly over I'd think stuff it and eat everything! Im...

I have just read a book called brain over binge that was recommended to me, it has really really helped :-) I could relate to it a lot. Try it :-)

I need to stop worrying about cals :-( that's my downfall, my calorie intake comes out quite high each day but if I eat any less I know I'll feel deprived and start binging so we will see what the scales say :) x

Glad to hear that some days your having a higher calorie count and still losing :) really helps me out thank you :) x

I know what you mean completely, I did it before and thought if I have a lower calorie meal I can have another glass of wine and consequently stopped enjoying my meals :-( but my portion control is way way out though and although I eat when I'm hungry I still end up eating the rest of the food...

I've been logging my food because I'm curious, I have got to target but was slipping so curious to see what calories I was eating and they were coming in at like 2000-2200 surely this is too much?? Like you said you should do one or the other but i'm panicking now that I'm eating too much...

I've ordered this, I read the first chapter online and I can relate to it so much and I've only read the first bit, think its going to help alot. Thank you for recommending this :-)

I hope you have a good holiday and relax, take time out! I know what you mean about making it official, when I first started doing it again I kept telling myself it was only once and it was a one off until it happened again. Your words were lovely and it means so much that I'm not alone, I can't...

I'm sorry I had to reply, I could have been writing the op myself! I thought I was over my purging but obviously not :-( im off to see the doctor on Saturday to talk thru what to do :-( I've been referred to an eating disorder clinic before. I've just ordered the book my food jail by Joan...

That helps me to know I'm not alone and if others can do it so can I :-) I am all or nothing but someone once told me to stop labelling myself this as it may give me the excuse to be this way. I will talk to my gp, it may have nothing to do with the food, I may be depressed I dunno! My son is a...

Love this too, im having difficulties at the moment too and will def try this advice :-)

Thanks for your kind words,bit means a lot :-) slowly slipping away though :-( hopefully ill find the courage because this certainly isnt helping me and I have to realise that! X

Thank you and thank you for taking time to respond. I think SW is a plan that helps me as I don't need to count calories and like you I feel fantastic when I'm on plan and it really makes a difference to my energy levels etc but I still crave all the wrong foods and feel pants when I've eaten...

I'm fed up with my eating problem :-( just wanted to air it see if I feel any better. When I'm on plan I'm very good but when I'm off plan I'm awful, some people talk about eating an extra chocolate bar or having a couple of meals off plan but I go mad, I don't stop eating literally I think...

I can so relate, I can stick to a diet for a while then it slowly creeps away from me and I start losing control but convince myself that I am in control. I too used to take laxatives, I was taking triple what was recommended on a daily basis. I too feel that im cheating the scales, I weigh in...

I can't seem to get motivated, I'm on plan for like 4 days then I crave everything, and sometimes I resist and go to bed but it catches up with me at some point and still end up binging. I don't even enjoy what I'm eating! I just shove it in and think what can I eat next, I used to have an...

No probs :-) yeah free on green and ee, although I would try to limit how many I snack on if not part of a meal :-)

I found it on the recipe section, they're yummy. It's basically a 300g tub of cottage cheese, 100g dried instant potato and 2 eggs - although I find you don't need 2 and only use 1 but you can experiment and see what you prefer. Blend the eggs and cottage cheese together until liquid - again for...

If you're organised you could make some free cheese scones the night before and take those to nibble on :-) very filling and easy to make x

I used his book :-) its brilliant isn't it? changed the way I thought too :-) I've stopped for 2 and a half years! Sorry just had to butt in the convo! X

I can't really help but just wanted you to know I feel for you because I'm the same, I go about a week. I'm trying to keep busy, I find rainbow drops are low in syns and they really help ease the sugar craving :-) good luck x

Basic food/colouring/essence syn free :-) so enjoy! I'll look up the particular brand if you let me know what it is just to make sure x

Good luck it's horrible when you're ill the last thing you wanna do is think about cooking and stuff :-) this place is the nuts for support :-) feel better soon!

With the 20 cal rule the bottle of first cape would be 18 syns a bottle but at the meeting this week my consultant said it was 15 syns a bottle! Lol proper confusing! It's not in syns online :-) thank you for your replies :-)

Alpen lights 1.50 in sainsburys ATM, not sure how long it lasts though :-/

It is so hard, if gonna go mad then it's definately when he leaves for work and then when he is off we get a takeaway or something cause hes not here in the evenings! I'm finding it hard ATM not to lose it in the evenings! I'm glad someone's going thru the same thing and I'm not alone! I've just...

That's a good idea :-) my husband works nights so maybe he should hide them except one then leave for work then no late night snacking :-) x

I'm exactly the same, I wouldn't have just had that tub of ice cream I would then find something else to munch on, as like you said you feel you've messed up anyway! The best thing for me is to not have it at all! But then in the long run I find I crave it and give in so started getting little...

Well done that's an amazing achievement, if my hubby said he's getting ice cream I'd be like stuff it and have a tub! you have done really well. Also if I know I can have something within my syn limit I'll eat it all rather than thinking about having half and feeling satisfied- this is something...

Thank you, you're so right I need to restrict my off days! I do find myself going off plan a bit more and shouldn't and although I enjoy it at the time I feel pants afterwards! Thank you for your input :-) its just easy to say and I know what I need to do just so hard :-( x

I just wanted to post to see if there is anyone that can relate to me, i have got to target and now trying to maintain, but I seem to either be on plan or off. I can't seem to flexi-syn I just have a day or two off. I love being off plan, I love just eating what I want and not thinking about it...

Thanks everyone :-) just not sure where 12 syns came from. The thing is if it's 12 syns then it's worth it, If it's 18 it's not much under normal wine so it's whether you want 2 big glasses of the proper stuff or 3 of not so good, lol x

Thank you and thank you for taking time to answer, just panicking. I just don't wanna miss calculate if the syns are wrong. Thanks for your help, i just dont know how it is 12 syns with the 20cal=1syn rule but if it says 12 syns I'll take it :-) x

Yeah I've posted there too to see if I can get answers and didn't think to do that first. Sorry :-)

Sorry just started a new thread as im confused but thought id post here too, just wanted to ask how you know it's 12 syns? I've googled the calorie content and it says 60 cals for 125ml for first cape 5.5% cafe collection, so for whole bottle it's 360 cals and therefore using the 1 syn for 20...

I'm sorry to post this but a little confused, I have brought the first cape reduced alcohol (5.5%) cafe collection. In all the posts ive searched a lot of people say it is only 12 syns a bottle but I've searched for the calorie content online and it says 60 cals for 125ml which would make the...

:-( I know what that feeling is like when summer clothes dont fit, its horrible but I'm glad it's made you refocus! I've been trying not to binge, but it's so hard keep thinking how I would feel after, the other day I started but stopped and thought it was stupid but did eat a few naughty things...

I so feel for you, my Easter egg had been calling for 2 weeks and I've resisted until last night :-( ate the lidnt egg as well as some bread and cheese and now feel rubbish, feel I've undone all my hard work feel down today and I know that's why, I know I'd feel like this today but just couldn't...

What a horrible person, do you think it was just kids set out to cause trouble? Surely an adult can't behave like that? I love this site :-)

They are syrups like they use in coffee shops to flavour coffee but these ones are sugar free, it's substituted with Splenda, you can get them online at the low carb mega store. Great for coffee or hot water, hits that's sweet craving. They are a little expensive at about 6 quid a bottle but...

Another thing that gets me through in the evening is da Vinci syrups in hot water, all different flavours, my favourite is white chocolate and cookie dough, tastes really really scrummy like a hot chocolate with no syns!!! Brilliant!

Thank you it's the 80gram bag so this is the big one I think, it was 40p in tesco. I found the nutritional value online and it said 26.9 cals per 10g so 10.5-11 syns the whole bag. Thank you for your help x

But it has no nutritional value on the packet :-(

Hi I've had a look on the stickies and it says 2 syns a pack but the pack I've brought is quite big so surely it can't be 2 syns? There's no info online and the pack doesn't have any nutritional info, anybody know the syns per 100 grams or anything? Thanks in advance x

thank you guys :-) it is so hard! I cant think about anything else, baby steps and i'll get there! you're all brill :-)

Thank you guys :-) it is hard and I'll probably relapse at some point but at the moment I'm staying strong, just gotta keep thinking about how I'll feel after! X

I just wanted to post as feeling a little chuffed with myself, last night I got the urge to have a binge and had 4 little packets of treat size Cadbury buttons, then stopped as I thought it was silly, I couldn't change what I ate but change the future and I feel so much better this morning, I...

I just wanted to post as feeling a little chuffed with myself, last night I got the urge to have a binge and had 4 little packets of treat size Cadbury buttons, then stopped as I thought it was silly, I couldn't change what I ate but change the future and I feel so much better this morning, I...

Thank you, yeah the packaging does say 60 cals, they are the treatsize bag from Halloween that I got cheap as they were going out of date so maybe changed it since then? Dunno. Thanks for your help x

I'm sorry if this has been asked, the mini curly wurlys are 60 cals that would make them 3 syns (the1 syns for 20 cal rule) but on the data base it says they are 3 1/2 syns so what one do I go for? Thanks in advance x

I did hear some research that the reason diet fizzy drinks hinder weight loss is because of the artificial sweetener, you drink the drink and your body expects a sugar hit which it doesn't get so then craves the sugar. Then you eat the sugar, so as long ad this doesnt happen then should be fine...

I tried this and now absolutely addicted, it's so lovely and so low in cals, I have a sweet tooth and it has helped so much knowing i can have this without the syns! Even nicer than the chinese fried seaweed which i love :-) Thank you so so much :-)

Well done that's fab Hun! Keep it up! You sound like you have it sussed now :-) I had a naughty weekend but enjoyed it now back on the wagon!! You must have willpower to lose over easter! Brill x

I know that was aimed at the original poster but your post was so inspirational :-) really helped thank you x

Im ok :) I'm within I'm target range I think! But motivation needs to get back from its little bus trip or I won't be ;-) just finding a little hard right now weigh in at 9:30 am tomorrow will let you know xxx

Well done sounds like you have it sussed now! Wish I could say the same! X

Thank you everyone you're so lovely, I've never really thought oh it like that before Gen, that's definately given me something to think about. I am trying to reign myself in and having a bit rather than the whole lot! It's just if I go over my syns or something I just then think 'oh stuff' it...

I know what the answer will be but I need talk to someone, I'm really struggling at the moment I've been really good since thurs after having a naughty week with dan my hubby as we never get to see each other as he works nights and has a little boy in somerset so I let my hair down but last...

:-) thanks x

Sorry that sounded really patronising! Didn't mean it to at all sorry! Xx

Ok yeah it did have your name ;-) that's weird because there wasn't anyone else with that name. It says you work at morrissons? Is that Right? It's so hard the problem with me is that I know if I'm a little bit naughty I will go mad no matter what I say to myself and it'll last all day so I've...

Heya I sent you a message on Facebook to make sure it was you first? Hope you got it and hope it was you :-) Sounds like you had a lovely day with your bf! I'm trying to limit my naughty days to when I go out and not just eat naughty stuff for the sake of it but it's hard :-( hope your doing...

Hey! I've just had a very very bad 5 days :-( pizza, chocolate and ice cream to name a few! Feeling bloated and urg! Back on it today to get weighed next Saturday feeling motivated as u feel gassy and sick! Nice! Tmi!! Lol! Maybe we could help each other out? You on Facebook sxykyle? Wanna add...

Well done for going back, that's not that bad! I put that on in a week over Xmas! I've had an off plan weekend and I've had really bad stomach cramps! It's because I've gone from one extreme of eating well to eating quite a but... Ahem processed foods!! Junk food basically!! Xx

Good luck at weigh in today :-) x

Hope it's not too bad! Good luck I'll let you know my pig out outcome too :-) xx

Sorry didn't mean to post that just yet suppose to say can't add you as a friend something about posting more and being new. X

Hey I can't add you as a friend :-( diverging about being new and having to post a big more? Guess what I've been bad tonight! Got in from work nothing in the house so eaten crap :-( toast and loadsa other stuff! Oh well gonna feel bad tomorrow but back on it :-( I'm 1.5 below target so gonna be...

It is hard to get back on it, I gave myself Xmas off and found it so hard to get back on it and ended up putting on 7lbs the first week and then 5 the next which just goes to show how much I was eating! I was so embarrassed and ashamed but i eventually got back and now that weight has gone but...

Don't be do hard on yourself we all have off days :-) I'm an all or nothing girl so when I'm doing slimming world I'm really good but then off I have s day off plan then a eat everything in sight and no matter what I do I just get these urges and eat! If I eat something naughty in the morning I...

Just a quick question if anyone can help, I brought this and the syn database online says its 6 syns per 100g. If I don't eat the stuffing or crackling and just the pork am I thinking this would be free? As assuming the syns is if you eat an average portion of all of it. Thanks in advance

Love this thread :-)

Thank you patchwork puss! That is brilliant! Explained very well and understood :-) xxx

Thank you for all your replies! Glad it's cleared up I won't syn my cake if I only have half! Yey! Sorry patchwork puss just to clear up cause I'm a thickie, lol so you can split hea by like having milk and cheese on same day, have I got that right? But you can't split heb unless they are the...

I just don't wanna eat it for the sake of it and if I make a cake which normally is the only way I eat my scan bran at the moment I'm adding on a lot more calories than I need to. I know SW is not about calories but it's also about not eating when you're not hungry! It must have something to do...

Thank you :-) I thought you might have to! X

Hi I've been doing slimming world for a while and I've got told some conflicting advice just wondered if anyone could help? I got told by a consultant if you only have half your heb then you have to syn it but another said you don't? Confused! For example if i make a scan bran cake but only eat...
