I'm living in Newcastle at the moment! I'm originally from Morpeth, but I moved to Newcastle about 2 years ago for University.

I totally agree! It isn't clear at all. Quite confusing.

Well, after reading many of these, i have decided to do my own. I joined class about 6 weeks ago. I am doing mostly Extra Easy. I am horrifically picky and horrifically poor at the moment, so I am doing my best to follow the plan :) Breakfast: Apple, banana, Mullerlight yogurt, 1 slice...

McDonalds:- Big Mac: 24.5 on all days Medium Fries: 11.5 Large Fries: 16.5 KFC:- Fillet Burger: 20.5 Regular Fries: 11 Large Fries: 14 Sorry, couldn't find anything for Zizzi's. I don't know any books that would be of help to you. I got all those syn values on SW online. If you're a member...

Yup. More a bread crumb that a bread roll!

Also, brown bread ,as a general rule, is 2.5 syns per 28g Hope this helps :)

The bread will be the same weight. I think it's the really small bread buns you can have. I'd weigh the buns you've got just to make sure. A full size bread bun is a round 13.5 syns. If the noodles are dried and with no seasoning/flavours on the they will be free. If they are cooked noodles...

Do you still fill out food diaries? If not, that might be a good place to start :)

On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me.... Three awesome plans!

Have a lovely Christmas everyone, and all the best for the New Year! :xmassign:

Definitely. I end up eating more veg though, in soup etc to make up for it.

I found them on the SW syns online: 17.5 on all days.

I'm having turkey with all the trimmings, I will be syning stuffing & cranberry sauce. I don't have gravy, so thats one less thing for me to syn :) I'll probably have Christmas pud too. I don't drink, so I'll probably have a glass of fresh juice. In the evening we normally have sandwiches but...

I've been taking soup to work recently. Great on these cold days :)

I use it in curry too. To replace cream etc. I use it with tandoori spices and marinade meat, then put in on skewers to make tandoori kebab type things. I also use it for raita, with cucumber and mint. Lovely :)

I love slimming world. I am very picky when it comes to food. I like Slimming World because you can adapt it to your own tastes. There is so much variety and choice, it's really fantastic. If you go to a class for the first time, there is no obligation to join and pay if you do not like the look...

I have a Kindle. Love it. There were a few books I wanted from Amazon a while back, but they were more expensive that the actual book! I found after a few weeks, the prices came down (they were new books), and instead of paying £6.99, I was getting them for 99p. I haven't used any other sites yet.

Haha. She's called Maggie. Total terror :)

You won't get the book that is coming out in January, but you will get it, even if you join now, if you attend a class between Christmas and the 2nd week in January. Everyone in class will if they attend then :) Or so my consultant said. Good luck with your first class. x

Mine didn't work. It wasn't even coming up in the first place. Re-downloaded it. Seems fine now.

I was told that any snacks you have should be superfree, or syned. Is that right, or could you have a mugshot ,for example, as a snack on EE? I also agree about the scan bran cake. SW say that other foods are not free, but not the scan bran cake. I don't understand :confused:

Dear Boyfriend, I know you are excited for Christmas, but there was no need to open that box of chocolates last night. You know fine well I would never be able to just have one. And now there is a half full box of chocolates in the cupboard screaming my name. Thanks :( x

You could roast the BNS with some other veg, carrot, onions etc and have it with cous cous and grilled chicken. That curry looks lovely!

I'd like to be able to buy clothes from any shop I want to, instead of having to the shops with a plus size section.

Oh my gosh! I don't think I could lose, but I am adamant that I am going to STS. I don't drink, so it's only the food that is a problem for me. Mainly chocolate. Good luck to those wanting a loss over Christmas!

Wow! Well done!

So sorry for your loss. I remember when my Granda passed away close to Christmas a few years ago. The whole family was so upset. We had Christmas as normal, but we had a small toast to him, and his seat at the head of the table was left empty for him. My thoughts are with you and your family. x

I tend to fill my plate with big portions still, out of habit. But I am slowly learning that just because food is on my plate, doesn't mean it has to be eaten. I now stop eating when I am satisfied. I've noticed the food left over on my plate is getting larger all the time, if only I could stop...

I did too :) Does hot chocolate count? (Please say no ;))

I made vegetable pakora's a few days ago. They were lovely. I'm going to make them again for Christmas. I found the recipe on the Slimming World website. Basically, combine vegetables, mashed potato, curry powder, 2tbsp ff yogurt and an egg, form into balls and bake in the oven for 15-20mins at...

I had these this morning for breakfast. I really enjoyed them. I ended up not flipping mine. It was way too soft to do anything with, and I hate mangled pancakes. Lol. Sweetener & lemon on mine. Yum :)

Good luck for tonight! I'm sure you'll do just fine :)

My consultant said if you want to eat them, have them as part of a meal, like you said you were going to do. But if you notice that you are not losing that the lasagne crisps would be the first thing to go!

I had it on 200c, They usually only take 20-25 mins. Took about 45. They were scrummy though :)

I'm in on this one. I've got to go cold turkey or I end up eating loads. Little bits every now and then just doesn't do it for me :(

I've just seen on Amazon that the white Actifry is on offer for £99 + free delivery. If I could afford it, I would buy one right now :(

I made these for tea tonight, the ones with the stock. They were lovely. I had to cook them for a lot longer than usual though, but totally worth it.

Like RayRay86 said, instead of par-boiling mine in a pan with water, I stick my potatoes in the microwave for about 8 minutes without water, fluff them up in the bowl, then onto a hot baking tray with fry light and salt. I'm making a roast dinner tonight, I'm going to try my roasties with the...

I would add the toms at the same time as the stock in step 2. I'd probably add less stock though, to make up for the liquid coming from the tomatoes :)
