How much did you need to loose and how long did it take you? If your comfortable with it- would be great to know what you weighed when you started. I am doing Slimming World for the zillionth time. Lost 6.5 first week, 5.5 last week and hoping for 3/4 this week. Naturally I know it is going to...

The only problem is...I have easily had my syn allowence this week! I usually use my syns up over 2/3 days so I can have a few naughty treats. This weekend was just sprung on me this morning! The only thing that will really annoy me is if I gain, I will loose next week, then the week after I...

Hello all, Just want some help! I am in Yorkshire for the weekend, and can tell its going to be one of those weekends! Making curry tonight- would be syn free, but my stupid mother forgot to get Fry light in Tesco (despite going in there for hair bobbles and fry light, how hard is that...

It is impossible to say an "average" Everyone is different. Depends on your size, gender, and the amount of physical exercise you perform. I lost 7.5 in my first week, 15.5 in my first month.

Its about £10 to join, but if you buy a countdown course (a 12 week I think) you don't have to pay your joining fee- a countdown is where you pay all up front, and you get free membership and a week free. I'm not sure if they are still running the offer, I joined back in January. Basically you...

Baked beans? Mushy peas?

According the SW book, the five best are: 1. 19g bag of French fries (all varities) will cost you 4 syns 2. 21g bag of golden wonder golden lights will cost you 4.5 syns 3. 17g bag of quavers will cost you 4.5 syns 4. 25g bag of walkers baked (all varities) will cost you 5 syns 5. 26g bag of...

35ml measure of Bacardi and Vodka is 4.5 syns Lots of people seem to like wine on here- the best is a 125ml dry white wine which will cost 4.5 syns. Look in your book, there are big lists!!!

Trying this tomorrow! Although that glass of wine does sound appealing now..

-I look at people I want to be like. If they can be a size 10- why can't I? -Im 19...never had a boyfriend, and well, you get the idea. Thats motivation enough. -If I continue as I am i will probably die before i'm 40, and will probably never have children. That again, is motivation enough...

Look on the recipe section- pretty much everything can be adapted to be SW friendly (pizza, KFC etc). Just make sure you get in lots of fruit and veg. X

Thats fine, you just need to eat more fruit and veg maybe?? I mean- mix veg in with your pasta, cook it in whatever you cook etc. Its the key to SW- you can eat LOTS but you need lots of fruit and veg.

I allow myself x2 dairy milks a week. One on thursday, one on friday. Works for me and im the biggest choc o holic ever (I mean driving 20 miles just to get a bar of chocolate.)

That will be full of syns as you are not using the cous cous in the intended form. Cous cous is meant to be made up with water, not coated on chicken for KFC chicken Sorry to the bearer of bad news- look up the syn value of cous cous on a red day, and you'll have to count it as syns- you...

I had a dream a few weeks ago about opening one, lmao!! X

I have seen the "Creamy Curry recipe" but not a chicken one so after making chicken curry tonight i thought i would leave the recipe Ingredients needed: -Chicken breasts. How many? Depends on your appetite- we use 2x breasts per person here! -1 onion and 1 red pepper -Lots of curry powder...

I would say more fruit and veg?? If you replace low fat super noodles with a chicken and mushroom pasta in sauce- you can mix a pepper, onion, tomatoes in and its lovely. Try and have your 5 a day at least.

Ask your GP to send you for a blood test for thyroid problems, and it should pick it up if you have one. When I was diagnosed with depression it was discussed I could have problem with my thyroid and got sent for BT, came back there was nothing wrong so it was ruled out Hugs to you xx

Been an icky day, and feeling its going to be ickier tomorrow... Comfort food ideas please? Preferably syn free but 1/2 syns is fine...

Chicken curry (chicken, red pepper, onion, natural fromage frais, curry powder, tomato puree) brocoli and cali and nat yog on top :D

Are you looking and people who loose 7/9 pounds a week and think "wow? I want that loss too??" As nasty as it may sound (i am a larger lady at 19 stone myself) it tends to be the "larger" ladies who loose significant amounts of weight- the 7s, the 6s, the 5s. My mum is around 11 stone and...

Hmmm...i have lots. When your parents won't get out of your face for FIVE MINUTES, yet insist its you who follows them everywhere?!? When the DVLA take your driving licence off you for no reason. When people are horrible just for the sake of it ....Theres probably more, lol

I live off cooking Sunday- cook everything on a sunday, freeze it, and just re heat when im hungry. Im sure if you pop over to the SW forums they can help you better!

The co op pitta breads are a healthy extra and sliced in half are lovely! Maybe not as big as a tortilla- but theyll be syn free!!! I use primula light on the bottom (about 40g, 80g is a HxA choice) and then lots ofpeppers and onions and I add olives (8 are 1 syn) and if you are doing a...

Its an acquired taste for both of them but I love them: Quark dip- quark, dill, smoked salmon all mixed it and vegetable sticks to dip in. Using marmite as dip- Only use a little as it has a high salt content and you can really taste it having it with just vegtable sticks. Packet of Quavers...

If you shop in ALDI- there lemon and lime and peach flavoured water is divine!

Its syn free. :) Its only about 5 calories a bottle *i think*. With things like that- you count 1 syn per 20 calories.

I would imagine this would make them quite high in syns as you are not using the tortillas wraps in the way they are intended to be used- look up the syn value online, and count the syns- it could be in excess of 20/30 syns!! I would much rather munch on a bag of Quavers or two!!! If you want...

Philadelphia with cadburys chocolate! :D You can get them in 4x mini tubs, at it is 4 syns for a little tub (30g) and honestly, theres more than you think in it- I spread some on 2x slices of 400g toast, and theres 1/4 of it left...so will have that with grapes later like I did last night...

Coleslaw mix, mandarin muller light, LF mayo (1 syn per level tbspoon) I dont use lighter than light, jammed packed full of salt.

I have several ways: -I get weighed on a Thursday. I allow myself one dairy milk on both a Thursday and Friday, but thats it. -Freddo bars are 5 syns each. Melt two, and dip grapes in. If you only use a little on each grape you can easily get twenty grapes- sweet and chocolate fix -Chocolate...

:D Plastic scousers, UNITE!

I dont eat 1/3 superfree with every meal, and managed 1.5 stone in 7 weeks? So im not doing THAT bad? Some people, myself included, cannot stand vegetables unless there hidden away in a recipe- like in diet coke chicken, for example. If i have them on a plate with chicken or something- they...

I make carrot and cucumber sticks and dip them into it. Infact thats what im going to have now!!

I think anyone who thinks artificial sweetner affects weight loss needs a tad of a reality check- SW is based on foods that contain them. Muller lights, low calorie drinks- look at food packaging? As I said, it makes you bloat. If it made you fat and gain weight I wouldn't of lost 1.5 stone in...

Im in Ormskirk ("plastic scouser") can I join ? :P

Kristin, you will find it very difficult to loose 2 stone in 8 weeks, depending on your size. I am just over 20 stone now, and lost 1.5 stone in 7 weeks. Eat plenty of fruit, veg, minimal syns and stick to the plan as much as you can. If you are a "larger" lady, it may come off easily...

Thanks for this! Sounds lovely, will make it on Thursday as WI night treat :D

BTW- It was a friend who told me, whos consultant told her. She might be wrong, but I think people need to check with their consultants and go with what the majority say?? But it is like pasta and potato crisps- they are "tweaks" and synned too? So i dont see how this can be free when it is a...

This isn't free. You aren't using the SMASH in the form it is supposed to be used in. You are "tweaking" it. It could cost you 30/40 syns for a packet of SMASH as a pizza. There are some better light choices ones you can get in the supermarket.

The nacho cheese tortillas are the best ones:D

You could do grapes dipped in freddo bar?? You can get about 20/30 grapes dipped in chocolate out of 2 and would cost you 10 syns (you ARE allowed 15 a day, but is recommend for best WLs you stick to 10.) Frozen curly wurly will cost you 6.5. If i go to cinema I usually have a happy meal at...

They make you bloat. I drink flavoured water as much as I can now. I have gone from 6/7 diet fizzles a day to 1, sometimes none. Flavoured water is better for you, not to mention it tastes nicer

SMASH pizza isn't free. As your not using it in it's intended form. It's about 30/40 syns for a smash pizza. Your better getting a healthy choice one from the supermarket.

Don't see how that 1 syn per 20g works- a 25g bag of walkers is 6"5 syns?? Lol

Look at the salt content. It's shocking, I would rather use half a syn more have the light version.

You can make "sweet and sour chicken" by using Fanta 0 (I actually use Lilt 0) and adding pineapple to it (make sure you add the pineapple right at the ended, or it is syned) I make vegetable spring rolls with it too- just roll pastry sheets (the one in the purple packaging). 2 syns a sheet...

No photos, sorry!! Diet coke chicken: -1 onion -3 tbsp of VL garlic -6 tbsp of tomato puree -Diet coke/Coke zero/Diet pepsi etc (any diet brand basically) -Rice and/or vegetables in the coke sauce. Method: -Fry onion, garlic, 2x chicken breasts per person sliced into good sized chunks. -Add...

Think mine has to be the diet coke chicken...the KFC chicken was lovely. Just dont make a schoolgirl error like I did and leave the skin on Oops!!! ;)

I know the OP said for red days, but this is just some of the stuff I had for lunch last week (I am at home though, so easier I guess but lots can be done in microwave/night before) Monday- Chicken and mushroom pasta in sauce (made with just water, no milk). Chopped onion, peppers, tomatoes and...

Sounds gross i know, but mixing it with tomato puree and garlic makes it taste actually OK! I had a salad the other day with tuna, quark and then Helmanns FF vinergrette mixed together. I do a dip with it too- shredded smoked salmon, dill and then the quark. Lovely with carrot/cucumber sticks!

Haha exactly! I usually have one on weigh night as I love my mcdonalds!

A chicken nugget happy meal with diet coke is only 10 syns.

Hello all :) Im going to London end of the month, and trying to work out where is good to eat- I will consider individual restaurants etc if anyone can recommend them. I will be staying in Piccadily, but will be going to Oxford Street, Kings road, Camden Market, the new Westfield and will be...

It confuses the hell out of me too. It says in the book- that potato is a FREE food. To make SW chips- you cut them up, add the fry light and eat them. Ive been told I can eat as many chips as I want, so why cant you slice potatoes just a little more thinly, and they been counted as syns?? It...

I know what your thinking "Not another syn free crisps debate". Well basically, its been 2 days and earlier this evening was ALREADY craving crips. So i did the "syn free crisps" (potatoes sliced v thin, fry light on the plate, fry light on the potatoes, and 5 mins in the microwave.)...

Please, I CANNOT drink normal or sparkling water, I despise it. And want a change from low calorie squash Thanks

Hey everyone :) New here, going to be joining slimming world (for about the 900th time) next Thursday. Just a little about me and my past experiences with Slimming world.. I first joined in 2008, back when I was 13 stone and I thought I was clinically obsese back then. Oh to be back at...
