Aldi have specials on veg and fruit every week. 39p and 69p. I agree meat is expensive. X

There is a free ap. WWcalcUK. Get it on internet not google play store. Its a very good calculator and does both pp and old points plans. Good luck. X

There are some lovely cake recipes on website and in magazines. X

Good luck. X

Honk. honk for yesterday too. X

You lost weight. What you doing wrong is expecting big losses every week. It doesnt happen. Take the loss and be proud. Well done. X

WWcalcUK. Just a calculator tho not a diary. X

Back to it. Today will be sf. Skimmed milk Oatsosimple Grapes Home made veg soup Banana Ww bread toasted Beans Jelly and strawberries Ww lemon cake 1pp Rich tea x 3 3pp

I think you should drop the only 1lb a week. I was at the drs last week and she showed me what a pound of fat looked like. Wow! Yuk! Be proud of yourself thats 1lb less to loose than the week before. And the syns. What you doing is working so go with it. Well done. X

Do you have a link to the beef pie recipe and how many syns is it? Thanks. X

If you get it photo copied but enlarge it to A4 size. X

Is alpen no added sugar a healthy extra please. X

I have been good all day, having no syns. Dont drink much but am going out with a friend and have sort of promised myself a drink. I dont like wines and spirits much so would have to be lager and lime. Does anyone know the syns for this half pint. Thank you. x

Must of read that wrong. The book said tinned in juice and cooked fruit was a healthy extra. Didnt see a list. There is on the on line diary but going by the book i assumed it meant all fruit as i really cant see any difference. Thats how i read it anyway. Hope you enjoyed them. X

The main thing is to stop eating when full and not stuffed. If you done this then dont worry about portion control. Thats you bodies job to know when to stop eating. Sometimes i dish out too much and have to leave some. But most the time i am getting better at guaging how much i need. X

Fat free yogurts. Fruit and veg. Extra lean minced beef. Its so versitile. Chicken and fish. They my staples. X

Yes if they in juice. X

Yes that would work i do that. Some days I have 1 weetabix with fruit and yogurt and later in day may have an open sandwich with a salad That way i get my bread. I like bread but i like cereal too. X

They free on all plans. X

1 on EE and green. 4.5 on red. 100gms made up. X

Just tried a search on ap but nothing came up. Codliver oil came up 2 syns for tsp. But that not be much help. Sorry. X

6 on EE and green. 9 on red.

I eat my 15 syns most days. My consultant has never said to lower them. Oh and yes i am loosing. I suppose it a personal thing. X

Well done. Fantastic loss. Heading in the right direction. X

Best of luck. X

The propoint values for most foods are higher and they are worked out by using protein carbs fat and fibre. Discovery points use calories and saturated fat. On propoints fruit and veg are free. On discovery only veg is free. X

I use 1% fat milk out of asda. Its the same propoints value as skimmed milk but is not a filling and healthy food. I have used it when doing fb and not made any difference. Just thought mention incase any others like me cant stand skimmed milk as is like coloured water. X

Thank you. Really makes sense. X

Farm foods sell them. X

Its saturday for me. I get an email and also on my home page top right it says please weigh in. Have you checked you profile has your weigh day correct. I altered mine to suit. X

Yes. If the foods are highlighted green they are filling and healthy so you can have and dont have to weigh, except you must stop eating when full and not stuffed. Calorie controlled bread is a filling and healthy food as is wholemeal pasta. Good luck. X

You can save 4 in a day but cannot use more than 12 of those saved points so 28 would be wrong. Best if luck. X

If i was you and you enjoyed sw then I would do filling and healthy on ww. Its not exactly the same but very similar. ie. not so much weighing. Good luck with it. X

At first glance the only meal with superfree is lunch. I was told to aim for 1/3 superfree each meal. I start off putting that on plate first. Occasionally i have it for desert such as fresh fruit salad. Best if luck with it. X

Cant see that it wrong. The plan clearly says eat till full and stop. X

Best of luck. X

Home made veg soup and grated half fat cheese (hex.a) melting on top. Comfort food. X

Brilliant. Its such a boost. X

I shop in aldi. Love the 39p/69p fruit and veg. X

WWcalUK. Does both propoints and discovery and it free. It is just a calculator though not a diary. X

These work out 4 points per serving on discovery. X

Good luck everyone. Keep posting. Not many on here now. I think its the free fruit on pp. Doesnt take into their calories. Especially bananas. Veg is free but thats very few calories so not worth giving a point value. Bulk out your meals with veg. Eat your points up if you can but dont eat till...

Updated conlou. Lost another 4 this week. Not been on a while so updated mine also. Best of luck. X

Im in asda now. Will be checking it out before leave. Thanks. X

If you follow the plan to the letter it works. Make sure to have a third superfree foods each meal. Eat only till full and stop eating. Measure out the Healthy Extras. And have between 5-15 syns. There are plenty success stories to prove it works. Theres also a stickie explaining it in detail...

Keep going. I am sure the scales will be kind next weigh in. X

Yes. Its true. X

Late tea/supper as not long in from footy match. Home cooked ham and salad. X

Honk. X

Played a draw. Right result i think. Good crowd. X

Any footy supporters? I am off to the match. Think it self explanitory which team i support. My name gives it away. Hoping sunderland can replicate my win this week. 4lbs less to get thru those narrow turn stiles. X

4lbs loss for this week. Very very happy. :-) x

In the book my portion works out at 4 syns but online it not recognised. I measured it and cut off a fifth. Put it down for 4 syns. Still plenty left. X

Does anyone know the syns for an asda bagette. Forgive spelling. Thank you. X

While doing ww i knew a lady who lost 1st 3 lbs on 1st week. She was about 5ft and not as large as me. The leader was concerned she starved herself. It just not realistic she said. The lady never came again while i was there. I aim to loose a pound a week. Well done to all you loosers. X

You can cook chicken with skin on aslong as remove it to eat. I buy asda ready cooked chicken when in a hurry and remove the skin. I would of thought the same applied to nandos aswell. X

Honk. 3 syns. X

The main idea to SW is to only eat till full and then stop eating. Doesnt matter which plan you choose. There are loads of people on here who have lost weight following EE or green or red. I am using EE and it going so far so good. Stick at whatever feels confortable for you or mix it up. Its a...

That is brilliant news. Well done. X

I think the main part of sw is listening to your body and stop eating when you are full and not bloated. X

Honk. All 15 syns. X

Everyone is different but if you have not gone over during the week. Some say daily 15 syns and some say can spread it over the week. I wouldnt worry. As long as you have only eaten meals till full and not stuffed you should be fine. The best of luck. X Ps. Theres a thread explaining flexi syns...

Oh, and well done on the loss. Its still a loss, not a gain. Be proud of yourself. X

Thats quite common. I have been told by a nutrition that its because the previous weeks have caught up with you. You will probably have a better loss next week when your metabolism catches up. Good luck. X

Chicken with pasta n sauce (cheese & brocolli) + lots of salad.

If the veg has nothing added then it is free. Unless the pack contained peas or beans then it will have some points. Good luck. X

Hi Andrea. Yes looking forward to the game. Will be there. Feels like season just started then stopped again with the internationals week. Good luck with everything. My mam always says everything happens for a reason, then its up to us to decide how to deal with it. X

Well done. Thats amazing. X

How could i gave mussed tha. Its amazing. Well done. X

Yay! Mine came in post today. Will be looking through during night since Corrie not on. X

Thanks. Changing over tomorrow. I know what i have lost and my daughter has made a chart to mark off so all should be fine. X

Saturday is my weigh in day but wont weigh in till next saturday. Good luck x

Hi. Does anyone know if i changed from lifeline to online would i keep what i have recorded so far or would i have to have a completely new membership. Thanks x

Dont know what the iphone version is like but on android its mainly just keeps track of syns but there isnt a calculator for the items not there. I would have liked a proper diary. X

Well done to you both. X

I get mine as a subscription from SW online. Its the last one but i plan to renew. Should be coming through the post soon. X

Chin up. Its a loss not a gain. Keep going. We can do it. X

Its only been 2 weeks sts. Week before last wasnt good and i am thinking it has caught up with me. I know it doesnt always show same week. Will keep going. Am in the right frame of mind and am qietly confident of a loss next week. I am feeling better in myself which has to be a good thing. X

Still no change for me but still quite positive though. Best of luck everyone. X

Well sts again this week. Feeling slimmer even though the scales not showing it so still quite positive with what i am doing. Hopefully the scales with show soon. Best of luck for everyone weighing in today. X

Sts again for me. I do feel slimmer though. Feeling better in myself so still happy with what i am doing. The scales will show soon. Quite possitive for bext week. Best of luck to everyone weighing in today. X

Excellent news. Well done. X

A huge bowl of chopped fresh fruit. Sent from my GT-S5830 using MiniMins

I am. I thought would have a tracker included at least. I believe the iphone one has. X

Well done. You have done great. X

She should have gone through the plan with you. Not very good. Regardless of being referred by dr you are still a member and can attend any meeting. If you find one you like you can ask the new leader to be changed to her meeting. It shouldnt be a problem. X

Well done to all loosers this week. X

It has to be kiwi. They are nice and soft and juicy at the moment. X

No change for me this week. Good luck to everyone else. X

I went on to profile and changed loss to 1lb a week. It reset the calories to 1490. So will leave it there i think and see how goes. Best of luck x

Thank you. I thought wasnt many. I will aim at 1500 and work down from there. I have been going over but only by about a100 but i would rather have spare than go over. Thanks again. X

Wholemeal toast. 2 tsps of ww dairy spread (half syn). Plum and kiwi.

Our leader said we could have snacks if we need to and to choose free foods. The app says these free foods can be used when and how much we like. I understand that we obviously dont have to stuff ourselves. Have i misunderstood. X

Thanks curlywurly. I feel like i getting there. It just takes time. These forums are a great help. I wont be quitting anymore. Best of luck everyone. X

Welcome back. I can relate. I have messed about with different plans for a while but really trying get my head around it now. Best of luck.

Is the fruit i add not free. Its not cooked just chopped ontop. Most it gets is a bit warm. X

Oo i like these too. Hadnt realised hex. Great. X

Sts for me. To be fair been messing around a bit with it. I am still struggling to make the swap from ww. I even quit during week but realised i dont like loads of weighing stuff and i am quite good at plate sizes. Really it has to be sw. Just when i get the hang of the syns. Good luck to...

Is this about right. My friend who is a lot slimmer than me and not as tall and 42 yr old has 1300. I am 55 yr old and am 224lbs and 5ft 4ins. Thanks. X

Good start. Well done. X

Well that has put me over today then. Can only guestimate. Didnt weigh anything. Free food only now then. Dinner was lovely though. X

Thank you. Found the sticky. Am using my phone also and have just worked out how to get to sticky on the app. X

Ah. Thank you. I think i try to make things more complicated than they really are. X

Hi. Can someone explain flexi syns please. Is it if you overdo one day you can make up for it later in week. I have an awful habit of going over my syns then saying stuff this and quit. But i cannot see any other plan suiting me as i hate all the weighing stuff. I can control plate sizes but i...

He has just put cook from frozen lean beef mince, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, 2 tblsps bisto granules in slow cooker. We going out for rest of day but how will i do this on EE. Please any help. I cant waste it. X

Well an STS for me. To be fair i quit during week. But decided to stick at it last couple days which probably balanced it out. Still lost 8lbs total though. So heres to next week. Best of luck all. X

Thats brilliant. Well done. X

Good luck. X

How do i add people on MFP. Thanks. X

Restarting on the CC. Been struggling for weeks with SW and WW. Sick of them both. Moved to this forum. Well done with the loss. X

Found WWcalcUK. Its free on google play. But google it thru internet as i have found the google play ap doesnt find it direct. It does both plans. Old and new points. X

I am guessing you following propoints. Discovery is not discussed at meetings anymore. If you have access to esourse thru monthly pass you can work out exercise points there. X

Thank you so much. The best of luck to you and your husband. X Sent from my GT-S5830 using MiniMins

Activity points are only there as a safety net. But only allowed to use 4 a day. 12 a week. When you worked out your points allowance it will have asked how active you are so this has already been taken into account. You can use the activity points if you need occasionally but the weight loss...

I have tried sw. Gone back to ww. Come back here and so on and so on. Not really stuck at either. Sw confuses me. Ww is easier but i dont stick at it. I have decided to go away and not diet for while. Try to make healthy choices and exercise and see how it goes. Best of luck everyone. X Sent...

Muller rice. I had apple one. I checked the ap as i had worked it out as 5.5 with the 20 cal rule but the ap says 10.5. Surely this is wrong. 108 calories. Sent from my GT-S5830 using MiniMins

Ah. Ok. Thanks. X

Could be also. I use EE so thats all i know. I get confused with the different plans. But some quorn is free and some isnt. Like you say must be stuff added. X

Some quorn is free. I use the quorn mince in cottage pie for free on EE. But it does say the sausages are 1 syn. X

Do these not have any free stuff in. I am getting 4 syns. Thanks. X

Well done. You can do this. You have made the start now. Keep going. Good luck for next week. X

Thanks charli. You werent waffling. It made sense. Thanks again. I think sometimes you know the answer to a question but need to hear it from someone else. The very best of luck to everyone. X

Looked on facebook. Cant find the comments. X

Not heard anything but that would be a rip off if it came about. Could handle shorter talk after weigh in but the weigh in takes quite a while. X

Have tried it in the past and found it more expensive. All the cooking aswell. I dont mind cooking but not all the time. Then there is the cooked fruit and the bread issue. No not for me. Have had a good think. I managing quite well on ww so will stay on ww. Best of luck and thank you. X

Best of luck. X

Weekend was a bit iffy but still got some weeklies left.

I always struggle with this rule. Its still a strawberry whether its blended or not. X

Am waiting to see what this was like. I love mint icecream. X

There is a sub forum on here dedicated to filling and healthy. That may help. Best of luck. X

Warm water works well instead of the milk. Would save hex. You need the sugar to feed the yeast. I like to make my own bread but it hard to cut a medium slice.

I know this has probably been discussed before but - if i eat an apple raw its free but if i cook that same apple then it has syns. Why? I have still only eaten 1 apple. I am sorry but this i find confusing. X

I like WW. I have said previously BUT now I have a dilema. My dr has referred me to SW for 12 weeks free. They say that it is the most healthy plan. I am on a tight budget. I am now thinking 'well its free and the dr has referred me I should go'. What to do! X

WWcalcUK. Calculator for both discovery and propoints. Good app. Best of luck. X

Enjoy your hols. X

Wow. Brilliant result. Well done. X

Thanks. Not sure what i was doing. Using my phone on the app. X

Thanks daisy i am feeling good about this now. It seems to have clicked. Good luck to you. X

1lb off this week. Thats 8 in total . 3 weeks. X Best of luck all saturday weighers. X

1lb lost. Thats 8 in total since got into this. 3 weeks. Happy. X

Lost 1lb this week. Happy with that. 8lb total and 1 towards my hopeful 3st loss for xmas. X Good luck everyone. X

Thats definately strong will power. Well done. Has given me a nudge. Might try a day or two of sf and see how goes. Good luck. X

All change again. Joined on line today so planning a weigh in tomorrow (saturday). Went well today. Used 28 of my 29 propoints. Keeping a paper diary then will from tomorrow, transfer it to the online tracker.

Best of luck x

Good luck with the ww online. Been doing ww but thought online would give me bit help. Not keen on the group thing. I am weighing in tomorrow. Best of luck

Wwcalcuk. Does both plans.

Dito. Dito. Dito. Its really hard. I know. I have done every diet plan and made some up. Wasted more money than i care to mention. You are not alone. I am on a budget and realused it had to stop. Looked at the pros abd cobs of each diet. Made an inaginary meal day and wrote it down. Worked out...

Not the end of the world. Use your weeklies and try earn some bonus propoints with exercise. 10pp is salvagable. Come on. You can do this. X

I lose more regularly but it is more controlled portion size and filling plate up with veg or fruit depending what having. Weigh day tomorrow. Quite hopeful. X

On line is good. It is cheaper. Tge only thing you dont get is the weekly weigh in at class but you can do this at home. You could get someone, maybe your oh to do it, i find a witness always is best. Good luck. Can only assume it was too short notice for them to get a replacement leader in for...

The weeklies are there as a safety net. If you need them then thats fine. Try exercise and earn bonus propoints. That helps speed up the losses. Good luck. X

Also my drs surgery promote sw but its simply because thats who they have an agreement with. Some surgeries promote ww. I was offered 12 weeks free sw but tried it and didnt suit me. Personal choice isnt it. X

Ww had an alternative method. Its called 'filling and healthy'. Its similar to sw but allows low cal bread which is my stumbling block. This helps with the maintenance once get to goal. Can choose to yse this method odd days or every day. Still very successful. Good luck. X

If you on a computer at the left hand side it should say update avatar. I use mainly the app now so could have changed. If it has you can change what you need in your profile. You have passed the magic 50 posts now so can do anyting. Enjoy your swim. Thats what i planning tomorrow also. I not...

Good luck with it. I find ww loads better than sw. Money is tight for me and find i can fit more in on ww. X

Just read the other posts you have done. Good for you. Am sure the meetibgs will help you. Pkenty support there. Good luck. Keep posting how you getting on. X

Wwcalcuk is a good calculator ap. Does both pp and discovery plans. You dont have to use exercise bonus propoints. They just a safety net but you will loose more not using them. You can get books off ebay. The blue folder and also recipe books. Not too expensive. Best of luck hope it going...

Well done all you loosers. My weigh day is tomorrow. X

Thank you. Been away couple days. Back to plan tomorrow. Changed my weigh day to tomorrow. Thursday.

Weigh in is saturday. Can i join in please. Be bit motivation. X

I have done both. I find sw restrictive. My main problem is bread. On sw when used up the healthy extras then it counts as syns. On ww it is simply count it in. Even on ww filling and healthy method low cal bread is allowed. At the end of the day its personal choice. I have had the same dilemma...

Wwcalcuk. I find this best. It has calculator for both plans. Very easy to use and free.

Oo. Enjoy!

Best of luck to you both.

Well. STS for me. Probably previous weeks have caught up with me. Not disheartened. On the plus side it not a gain.

Sounds just what i need. Great. Thanks. X

No. I not heard anything either. Thanks. X

Looking for good WW app for android. About time the did an official one.

Actually went to SW on saturday but lasted 2 days. Complicated. Consultant was lovely but the plan wasnt for me. Hope no one mibds me joining on this thread. Best of luck everyone. X

High. Just started back on ww today. PP not much different to old one did before except fruit free which is great, and the weeklies. Day 1, so far so good. X

Thank you. Are you asking about the plan i following. It is extremely easy to follow. Not much measuring. (a slice if bread is a slice of bread regardless of slice size). It is ran over 12 weeks. I believe it is now mainly held in drs practices. I liked it coz it was free and easy to follow...

Yes. For the umpteenth time. I have followed sw, ww(pp), ww (vp), have had an unexpected boost. Not even followng a plan. Not even thinking about it and have lost half a stone over 4 weeks. Been exercising. Obviously not snacking as much as been decorating. Hopefully this is my new start. So am...

Been doing discovery plan. Keep feeling should be doing the newest plan. Am i missing out on anything. I am a compulsive joiner. I join and then leave most sites. So really dont want waste anymore money. X

Good luck. What is slim and save. X

Hi stacy. The very best of luck. X

I got my folder for discovery off ebay for £3.99. Good value. Good luck. Hope yours are delivered in good time.

I found the sw site not worth the money. Tried sw couple times but decided not for me. I prefer ww old points system to the new one. Simply dug out all my old books and i look on here for support. Good luck with your choice. X

Just joined on sw line today. First impressions good. Love the app. Brilliant easy to use tool. Not time to go meetings. Online the best option for me. Best of luck everyone. X

Does anyone know of a slimming world original or compatable ap. I am doing sw from home, money really tight. Thought if could find an ap to help along with this forum. Thanks.

Hi. I am re starting again tomorrow. Needing get back in the swing of it again. Thought i was going start working but was wrong. Was thinking could cope better if was occupied during day. But it not to be. I know i can do this. Money tight so will be doing from home. Good luck everyone. X

6 stone to go for me. Good luck everyone, we can do it.

2lbs on last week, 2lbs off this week so happy with that. Back to my 1 and half stone off, feeling good. Good luck everyone else weighing today.

Thats correct, unless you doing "simply filling" when they are all free. Sorry forgot to mention that. Thanks.

All fruit and veg, sugar free jelly, diet fizzy drinks. Bovril. Cant think of anything else.

Thanks Ally. My maths getting better.

I work it out 0.5 syns per sweet. I thought if I counted the number of sweets in box could work it out that way. 42g =120calories aprox = 6syns 12 sweets in box = 0.5 syns each. Not bad because they last a long time. I hope I got it right.

This may seem unusual but you may not be eating enough. I have heard of this before, When people have ate more of the correct foods obviously, they lost more weight. It is easy to assume that we are on a diet so we cannot eat much. Not true if you stick to the plan you can eat till you are full...

Oo, so it all free, better still. Still learning! Thanks.

I agree it is very expensive. I was looking at how many recipes can get on there for free. Doesnt seem worth the large cost for the other stuff. Personal choice though.

Does anyone know the syns please. It is a small box weight 42g. It says there are 289 calories in 100g. But I just need to know how many syns in a sweet. Cant eat too many as they work as laxative. Thank you. Thought they might be a nice low syn treat, not had any yey, just in case not.

Sounds lovely, is this free apart from the cheese? Planning on giving it a go with a salad for tea tomorrow. Tea today is already planned. Thanks.

Thank you. I dont go to group so will wait till end March.

Hi, does anyone know when the next issue due out. I gave the last one away as the recipes were not my taste but forgot to note the next issue date. Thanks if anyone knows.

Put on 2lbs this week. I have been trying other plans and have decided to stick to SW from now on. To get the 2lbs off will be my 1st small target. Good luck all.

princessria, bread is the thing I miss the most of too. I would eat it with nearly any meal and now it is restricted, but its for a healthy cause so I will abide by the rules. On the plus side I am not feeling so bloated since cutting down the bread. Good luck.

lardylady, his name is Barney and he is my nearly 2 year old springer spaniel. I adore him and he me. We love our walks together. The best of luck going it alone. I am sticking with this and will check out that thread suggested by starlight. Good luck all and thank you for all the replies.

Thanks everyone, lots of succesful people, big motivation.

Hi, I report a gain of 2lbs this week. Not the end of the world although I can no longer say I have lost a stone and a half anymore. It is retrievable.

how many successful at home Sw's are there? Just wondered how mant people actually manage SW at home. I find that not having the abilty to work out syns a problem. I know the 20 cal rule but what about other elements of foods. The peolple doing WW at home have that edge, there are calculators...

Weigh in day has changed again, mainly to fit in with my day to day routine, saturday always comes back as easiest day to weigh in so I will weigh in tomorrow and report here if thats ok. I hope everyone has success tomorrow.

Simple answer "NO" The best way to loose weight is to lead a healthy balanced lifestyle. Sensible eating and plenty exercise.

Mrs Whistle you have lost 4and half pounds in 3 weeks, Shelly1 you have lost 6 and half pounds in 3 weeks. Brilliant, Well done both of you. Be proud of yourselves, you sticking to the plan and you are loosing weight. Keep going.

good luck everyone.

Best of luck everyone.

My only advice would be to be honest with yourself and write everything down you eat even the smallest thing. The very best of luck.

Half it. So if it has 3 grams of fat, for example, you would count it as 1.5. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Brilliant, well done.

You can get a calculator quite cheap off ebay. And there are calculators available on line. just type in weight watchers calculator and see what comes up. Good luck and well done on the loss.

Dont go hungry. But make sure you are hungry and not just thirsty or thinking you could have had more. The free foods are there to be eaten, but only till you are full and not bloated. Good luck.

I am with ermintrude. You are not eating enough, wouldnt worry about the syns. Put it behind you and move on. The plan works, so dump the calorie counting and trust it. I would stop the mid week weighing as our bodies vary during the week. Same scales and roughly the same time where possible...

Good luck, I lasted a week at WW. Boy was I glad to get back to SW. And it is only as expensive as you make it. I buy seasonal foods and batch bake and freeze when possible. Best of luck, hope it works better for you.

Took about 3 goes but love them now got the hang of it.

3lbs off, 7 to go. Dont think will make target but anything will do. Good luck everyone.

3lb loss this week. Happy. safc = 21lbs (4lbs lost 18 to go)
