Tuesday 5th May Back to work today which can always be a bit of a challenge but had a pretty good day! Breakfast Banana and satsuma Lunch Subway salad Wholemeal roll (HEXB) Cheese (HEXA) Had a tuna salad so I'm not sure on syns for dressing (light mayo) but I've had no syns all day so...

Asda chosen by you fruit cocktail in a tin can be classed as a HEXB for 200g according to the app. Hope this helps. X

Monday 4th May! Woke up today to the boiler on the blink - spent all day trying to fix it!! Had to dash out and get some shopping mid way through so had to nip to my mums to grab a shower! This meant that I haven't done my workout today because I was scared if do it and then have no hot water...

Sunday 3rd may: So, last night, I ended up with a massive chocolate craving and decided that rather than Malibu, if treat myself to a cheeky little bar so I got one of those really thin dairy milk bars which are 5 syns I believe. Unfortunately, I also decided to have a bag of wotsits (4.5...

Saturday 2nd May Decided to go back to basics and having a green day today- I appreciate that sw doesn't do this anymore but this is how I got to target so I know it works and I find EE hard to get to grips with sometimes! Breakfast- strawberries, banana, fat free yogurt. Had a tiny...

Totally understand what you mean about getting bored of the same routines. I usually go to the gym and do a different class each time I go but I've had to cancel my membership so I'm trying to do things at home. I usually get metafit classes up on YouTube but really wanted to stick to something...

Time to get the diary on the go again! For the first time in over 1 year at target, I've gone out of target!! ? Admittedly, it's only 0.5lb over target but if I don't shift it this week, then I'll be paying next week and I don't want that. Put on 2.5lb when I went to class yesterday (that was...

Hi- hope you don't mind me dropping in. Started the 30 day shred workout yesterday as it's 33 days until I go away for a wedding of one of my closest friends and I'm bridesmaid- needed a kick up the bum!! I'm a target member and I've been at target for 1 year this week- unfortunately I've been...

I always begrudge adding a protein too a meal for cost reasons too. I can be known to be a lazy cook but I do like experimenting. Lately I have been buying a chilled chicken from aldi (think if memory serves correctly, it's £2.49) I throw it in the oven for 2 hours and I tend to get 3 meals out...

Ok, you want to lose a stone by June. I found that on average a dress size was anywhere between 10- 12lbs. I'd buy the size below. Two sizes down could be achievable but bikinis are funny things because they are pretty much knickers and bras! I still where bikinis a size higher than actually am...

Well done nikki- fingers crossed for you. X

Well today is my Friday- I've finished work at not back in until Saturday night. Although weigh in is Thursday and I'm conscious of still remaining as on plan as I can, I'm conscious that as a target member I'm learning to balance slimming world and life in general. Today's breakfast was...

Yesterday's food Strawberries/blueberries and muller light Butternut squash and sweet potato soup with a wholemeal roll (HEXB) Scouse/beef casserole (another wholemeal roll) will have to count this as 6 syns. Philedlephia spread on roll and 1 x babybel (HEXA) Snack- hi fi bar (6 syns) Was...

Hi ladies- hope you're all well. Went to class yesterday and put on 0.5lb in the 2 weeks since I last went. That took me 1.5lb over target- although it's still within my target range so I don't have to pay, it's given me a bit of a kick up the bum so this week, I'm back to basics, I've batch...

So I've spent today being super prepared and planning for the week ahead. Although I'm still within my target range - I am 1.5lbs over my target weight and currently weigh 8'10.5lbs. As I'm bridesmaid in June twice, I'd like to get below my target to enable me to put on a few lbs in Cyprus (one...

Well done you- great post to read!! Now to maintain! Been at target myself for nearly a year (I think) and it's much better than I thought it would be!

Been to class this evening and put on 0.5lb since I last went. Can't grumble- still within target and thought it could have been a little more. Haven't got anything coming up this week and I'm off work next week on Thursday so can make it to class so I'm planning on being 100% on plan to shift a...

Ok so I've not done a little diary as I planned to. Woke up Monday morning with a horrible migraine and completely lost my appetite! I have no idea why as I've never had that before but just the look of food was making me feel ill but I seem to have it back with a vengeance. Thankfully I have no...

So think I'll try and do a little diary for the rest of the week because I've overindulged slightly since weigh in on Thursday and I'm on nights this week which always messes me up a little bit. On Thursday night after weigh in the OH wanted hot crusty baguettes with gammon on so I made that...

Oooo so close, I have my finger crossed that you manage it this week! 7lb blocks is a really good idea. Seems more achievable than looking at the bigger picture from the outset. X

Thank you- I'm pleased with the lb loss. I've avoided hot cross buns for a couple of weeks so think that could be the key!!! How far have you got before your 4st award?? That's fab! X

Thanks Kim, I'm actually quite surprised I've managed to maintain, not because I haven't tried hard but more because I just didn't feel it would be sustainable for me because I've always been much heavier. I'm 5ft 2 so I'm at the mid point of my bmi - I think maybe I think about my weight too...

Back to class this evening for the first time since 15th Jan. My mum and sister joined a couple of weeks ago so decided to go along with them to the evening class (normally go in the morning). Pleased to say that I've lost 1lb so I'm still within target range - 1lb over actual target but I've no...

Hi ladies - haven't been on for a while so good to catch up on how you're all getting on! Kim , so lovely to see you back!! You were always so supportive on my journey to target so if I can repay in any way then give me a shout! Sounds like you've had a bad few months but hope everything is on...

Absent again for a few weeks!! I think I've lost my way!! I don't know whats wrong with me!! I can't get motivated to get back on plan. I pretty much know the plan inside out so I don't ever go way off normally but just lately, I've found myself just having what I want when I want it...

Yeah you're totally right, I'll have a little think about whether or not to go to class this week. I'm on nights this week and nights always tends to mess my body around a little because I'm eating at different times etc. I need to keep myself in check as I have so much in this year with a...

I lost half a pound! Was massively disappointed after such a good week - I think it was just I expected a couple of pounds and when she said 'you've lost half a pound' I was gutted! Onwards and downwards though, I've tried to look on the bright side and think that in still within target range...

Thanks ladies!! I reported wrong last week when I went, was 8'11.5 not 8'12.5. So I'm now 8'11 - I'm 2lb above target but still within range but I've honestly been so good this week and massively upped my exercise so thought I'd be in for a 2lb loss. Never mind! I'll carry on this week and see...

Amaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!! Well done you!! You must be over the moon. 7lbs award coming your way next week!! X

Been so good this week and only lost half a pound! :-(

Another great day that started with a trip to the gym at 6:15am!! Feel so proud of myself for going and getting it done before my day began. Food wise, I know sw has got rid of red/green but I've unintentionally had a red day. I've had zero carbs except for my healthy extras which were...

Don't beat yourself up- 3.5lbs is an amazing loss!! I'd be well chuffed with a loss like that. It's 3.5lb gone forever! Well done!! X

So I've just tracked every bit of food that's entered my mouth today on my fitness pal and comes in at 1196 cals!! Pleased!!! :-)

Had a great couple of days on plan! Really determined to shift a couple of pounds this week. Did 2 x crossfit workouts at home yesterday as I discovered I can get you tube on my tv. I really enjoyed it and made me think about whether I should cancel my gym membership and go it alone at home...

Good luck for your final shot!! You'll be fine and get there in the end. Just keep focused and I'm here if you need anything along the way. X

So I'm trying to lose a pound or two this week to get me comfortably at target rather than on the brink of going out of it. Yesterday I was good and enjoyed my left over need bourginon which was a sw recipe and absolutely delicious. When I woke this morning, I wasn't particularly hungry so I...

Honestly you can do it! I spent most of my twenties joining classes and then leaving again. I decided last year that enough was enough and I wanted to be at goal for my 30th and stay there. I got to target months before my 30th and I've stayed there ever since! With determination and an 'enough...

You've done great so far going alone at home- you'll definitely have half a stone off by June, without doubt!! Good luck. Xx

I don't think you'll have gone dramatically over your syns so I wouldn't worry too much. At my class they say you can have 105 syns per week (7 x 15) and 'spend' them as you please. If you've only been having 5 a day then I think you'll be fine if you have 5 -10 each day until Wednesday. X

Thank you!!! X

So I went back to class on Thursday morning- it was really busy as it's January so the leader just went through the new SP plan. To be honest, I've quite often unknowingly done SP so I'm quite pleased that an actual plan has been developed! I put on 1lb since my last visit on 30th October which...

Hi all. Well I took the plunge and went to class for the first time since the 30th October and I'm amazed to report that I've only put on 1lb (taking me to 8 12.5) To sAy I am over the moon is an understatement! I am till within target range but will go out of it if I put any more on so. I'm...

Hi ladies- happy new year to you all!! Once again I have been absent for a while. I don't think I've been to class since October!! I'm going back in the morning though and hoping I haven't done too much damage! I think i may have gained a few lbs but I'll update you all tomorrow! It's a big...

Well I think it's about time I get back on here to give myself a bit of a kick up the butt!! I haven't been to class since October so I'm heading back in the morning to see if I'm still within my target range! To be honest, I don't think I'll be too far out of it. I can tell with my clothes...

Welcome and good luck!! You'll have that 19lb gone in no time!! X

Starting weight for the challenge 8'10. Goal for challenge 8'9. X

My target is 8'9 so I'm currently a pound over that but still within target range! I much prefer seeing the 9 lbs rather than the 10 because I'm funny with numbers!!! My body is settled at this weight and it doesn't matter how hard I try I can't get below 8'9 so that does me nicely!! At the very...

Welcome blondcat! You've done so well - you'll be in the 8's in no time!! Great to have someone else in with us. I went to class yesterday and maintained which I was a bit surprised by- thought I'd lose a little bit after being super good but still 8'10 so can't grumble at all. Got 'woman of...

Tuesday sounds great! We can do this!! X

Hi jade- hope you don't mind me popping by. Was just having a gander through diaries for inspiration for meals! Haha! Your food looks fab- couldn't help but notice that on quite a few days you have classed then as extra easy days but they could have easily been red/green days allowing you the...

These things happen to the best of us. You should be proud that you actually went to weigh in and faced things - ok you had a small gain but it's just a blip and you've done so well already! Think about how you're feeling now after the last two days and how you've felt after you've had a...

I'm up for a challenge- anything to help me maintain rather than put on is welcomed! X

Another great day!!! Been really on plan again and feel great for it!! Had a nice lie in which was much needed and then chilled out most of the day before going to body attack class which has made me feel fab!! There was a really dainty girl there, so petite- made me wonder whether maybe I...

Still been really good this last couple of days. Had lots of fruit and yogurt etc. Today is a green day- Poached egg on toast for breakfast (HEXB) Pasta in sauce with cheese (HEXA) I've got fruit and yogurt to take into work tonight and I'll have a couple of slices of toast with laughing cow...

Oh I'm so relaxed it unreal! I barely even think about what I'm eating these days. Obviously I don't eat rubbish all of the time but I think I've got the plan so rooted that it's become second nature. I have bad days where I'm very much aware that I'm being naughty- 9 times out of ten I feel...

Thought I'd do my best to update my diary this week to help keep me on track. Last night I went to the supermarket after an exercise class and picked up lots of healthy food!! I also went and picked up a bit more today. So today's food- red day!! Breakfast Poached eggs on toast (HEXB) marg (2...

No update since June!!!! Eeeeek!! So I went to weigh in yesterday for the first time in 6 weeks and I only put on half a pound!! I'm amazed!!! I'm a pound over my target weight of 8'9 so I'm hoping to get that off this week. I'm not going to stress though- I've learned that stressing about a...

Hi ladies- hope you're all well. I have to admit I've had so much going on that I've not been the best lately!! Decided to take the plunge and go to class yesterday after a 6 week break and I'm amazed to report I've only gained half a pound taking me to 8'10 (1lb over target) I'm pretty damn...

No wi for me this week or last ladies. I'm trying not to stress and weigh in when is suitable for me. Admittedly though the weeks when I go to weigh in I do far far better than the weeks I don't. Think I'll aim to go next week after work. I'm still within target so I'm happy with that, I'm just...

I'm still here too!! Always pop on and have a nose at what everyone's up to and how we are all plodding on. Pleased to report that I've lost 1.5lbs this week. Don't know how I did it but I'm happy with it- think it's the latest work/house stress that's contributed!! Now half a pound from target...

Sunday Started today with a trip to the gym- forced myself to go because the weather is lovely outside! Just did 30 mins cardio and then weights. Food wise I've only had chicken (free) on a wholemeal roll (HEXB) - not got too much of an appetite today strangely and I'm busy doing some sorting...

Hi - you're food diary looks great- just though if pop by and let you know about something I made for my lunch today because I'm like you and would normally have a sandwich for lunch. I made up a creamy cheese mugshot (think it's 3 syns) and then fried off some cubed ham, mushrooms, onions and...

Ended up having a mushroom chat from the Indian for my tea last night. I have no idea of the syns but it's a started and is made of mushrooms/onions and a pancake type thing. It was quite oily though. I did have 12 syns remaining for the day so I think that should cover it. Today I've had:-...

Lunch update:- Beans (free) Wholemeal roll (HEXB2) 30g cheddar (HEXA2) So it's a green day for me today- still haven't been to the shops after my night shift, I've pretty much lazed around all day!! X

Wow well done- a fab loss for your second week and a shiny sticker to show off your hard work!! Congrats! X

Lost 1/2 a pound this week so I'm still within target at 8'11. Hoping to lose again this week so in going to try a few recipes to spice things up a bit! I must admit I've been following the plan quite loosely lately so I'm hoping that a strict week will produce a bigger loss. Started today...

How you getting on- when is weigh in?? I lost half a pound this week which I'm quite pleased with - keeps me still within target range. Hoping to lose again this week so I'll be popping by for some meal ideas!! X

Half a pound loss for me tonight so I'm still within target range at 8'11. Quite pleased with that really. Can't say I've had the best week food wise but I think the exercise has helped! X

Diary looks fab! It all sounds yum!! Can only find the mozerella balls at 1.5syns too so I'd say you're safe to go with that. Can't see that you've had your HEXB - try slot this in somewhere for your fibre intake. Other than that- it's amazing! X

Aw that's annoying!!! You'll be surprised though how easy it is to adapt to wholemeal when you get used to it. The hovis wheatgerm is 2.5 syns a slice from the small loaf which isn't too bad. Would probably rather spend my syns on something else though. I'm going to try and reduce my bread this...

I'll subscribe!! I like keeping track of people's progress and I need to get back on track myself this week so we'll give eachother some encouragement throughout the week!! X

Not at all- don't worry about it. A banana for breakfast wasn't a big meal- more a snack for most so I'd say you've had 3 meals today. You've done the right thing by eating when your body has told you that you're hungry which surely keeps your metabolism in check. I wouldn't worry at all.x

Well done- I'm rubbish at resisting temptation. My colleagues all had a McDonalds for lunch today and I did resist having a big meal and got what I thought was a healthy option only to discover it was 31.5syns! I'm devastated but I've got the rest of the week to pull it back! Just wish it was...

I'm one of these people that eats whatever is on my plate so to reduce portion sizes, I reduced the size of my plate. I never used to feel full as such, I'd just eat what was in front of me. If you've had two bowls of pasta, then perhaps you made too much- you allowed yourself the option to have...

Friday!!!!! So I started the day with a sw salted caramel bar (HEXB) I absolutely love these and was so worth going to class last night to get them. Been on a course this week and everyone was getting a naughty dinner. They went to mcdonalds. I only had £2 on me so tried to pick what I thought...

Went to weigh in and put on half a pound. Pretty pleased with that as I haven't stuck to plan and I haven't been to class for over a month!! Can't complain at all :-) So this week I mean business- need to shift a pound or so as I'm a bit too close to comfort of coming out of target! X

Weigh in today and finally managed to get to class. Half a pound on for me I'm afraid - taking me to 8'11.5. I'm pretty pleased with that to be honest as I checked my book and realised I hadn't been to class for a month! Oops! So extra good week for me this week- don't want to be paying next...

Measurements Decided to document my measurements - with me starting this new fitness regime, I'm conscious that I might put on a few lbs as so many people say that you do. Thought if I took my measurements then at least I'll see results! So....... Waist - 26 inches Hips - 36.5 inches Thighs -...

Well done Sam- that's fab!! Remember that feeling of hitting the 9's- feels great! Never imagined I'd ever hit the 8's either - I've got mammoth hips but I did it! Best of luck.x

Much better day today!! A little achy from my class but went for a swim and steam after work to help try and rest the muscles. Also managed to collar the personal trainer on my way out about some sessions. Food wise, I've not had a slimming world day but a healthy day none the less. Had a...

Absent for a while again! I don't know where to begin on the last week or so. I feel like I just ramble and moan on this damn diary of mine but I'm going through a really tough time!!! :-( Things started to get bad when let's just say I had bad 'lady problems'. I was in pain for days and turned...

Which flavour did you have?? Two of these meals are listed on the app and unfortunately they are saying 35.5 syns and 40.5 syns!!!!!! Shocking!!

I'm so glad you started this thread! I've had exactly the same problem the last few months and it's driving me insane! I'll take on board some of these tips- I don't drink anywhere near enough water!! Going to invest in one of those bottles and see if it helps! X

Well it's a new week and I'm going to try my best as stated above because I plan on going to class next week. Doing an EE day today and so far I've had:- 1 x wholemeal roll (HEXB) Slimming world chips (free) Chicken (free) Salad (superfree) Kraft light thousand island dressing (1 syn) 1 x...

So I planned to go to class today but then I realised I had jeans on and I really didn't want to weigh in jeans- I never have so it wouldn't have been a true reading! Lol. I did however go to the gym and worked my butt off so I'm pretty pleased!! I then went to asda and bought lots of fruit...

Oh my word- what a day! I feel goosed!! Haven't had the best of days food wise tbh but I'm still posting because so often I turn a bad day into a bad week. Had 2 x wholemeal rolls (HEXB's) Ham (free) Wotsits (4syns) Babybels (HEXA) Oh and a bag of malteasers fell into my mouth!! Eeek! (Think...

So back to it today as best as I can, easing myself back into it to be honest because I've been off plan so much that I need to ease in gently! Breakfast Chocolate weetabix (HEXB + 2 syns) Milk (HEXA) Lunch Wholemeal roll (HEXB) Chicken (free) Wotsits (4 syns) Tea Salad (superfree) Chicken...

Diary has been well and truly neglected lately and it's time to get back on it!!! I passed my course!! Yippee! It was a really tough few weeks- mentally, physically and sw wise but it's all over - phew. Went out with the girlies to celebrate on Friday and had my first hangover in like forever...

Unfortunately it's alcohol content is only 5.5%! Grrrrrr!

Hahahaha!! Hope you don't mind me popping in- I've just read through the last few pages of your diary and I really felt like I needed to contribute:- No.11 Mullet lights- yes most of them are free but they are not compulsory. You do not have to eat them, you can find cheaper alternatives and...

Evening ladies- hope you are all well. No wi for me this week (although I have checked at home and it's a maintain). I'm still on a course in work and have a big assessment tomorrow so mentally couldn't face going to class this eve- I promise I'll go next week though! This target flexibility is...

Hi everyone- I'm another none weigher this week! Had so much going on in work this week that I just didn't have the energy for class and like many of you, I've been rethinking my attitude lately! If this is going to be a life plan, then I'm going to have to lay off the obsession and find a happy...

Thanks Kim. I've been trying my best this week but I'm on a 3 week course at the moment hitch is tough going- it's made life a little difficult sw wise! I've also got the added stress of house hunting and found out today that we've missed out on a house that we really wanted! I'm devastated...

Back to class this evening- just a quick run and weigh because I've dashed around since finishing work viewing houses etc so just needed to go to get it out of the way! Put off going for the last two weeks! Anyways I've had a 2lb gain since last class 3 weeks ago but still within target! 8'11...

Well done constantstar- it's a great feeling to hit the next stone! Just been to class (not my normal class as I was working this morning) and I've put on 2lbs since I was last there and weighed in at 8'11. This is a 2lb loss from my home weigh in last week so I suppose it's a bonus and I'm...

Trying to get back on plan today after having far too long off it! It's like the day I hit target, I lost my motivation!! Must must must get it back. As I'm 'trying', I can't say I'm overly chuffed with the day but it's much better than the rubbish I've been eating lately. Breakfast Weetabix...

Hey ladies, really struggling to get back on plan since my holiday and being unable to go to class last week. This week I will get back to class and sort myself out. On a really intense course at work for 3 weeks so I need to be super prepared!! Kim, you scared me above as it's got me gaining 1...

Thanks Kim! It was great- the last few days have been absolutely manic so I've not been able to do anything that I intended. Found out I'm on a course for the next 3 weeks and there's lots of preparation for me to do so I've been busy sorting that out. Then I went to go and get weighed at class...

Oh dear- thought it was about time that I updated to confess all!! Well we got back off holiday and the holiday continued! Takeaways galore, alcohol - did go to the gym but only once over the weekend!! Feel utterly terrible for it but I know I've got a couple of days before weigh in so I need...

I'm back!!!! We had an absolutely wonderful time away!! Lots of lovely food and alcohol consumed!! I missed class and weighed in at home and sadly I've had a 4lb gain!! Grrrrrr!! I think it's good to have a few days off plan for special occasions. I remember times when I've tried to stick to...

Hi all- back from my holidays and to say I've overindulgent would be an understatement!! I love bread but rarely have it normally but had it soooo much on holiday! As I reached target last week I don't have to weigh in every week at class so didn't weigh in yesterday but a home weigh in has me...

I've always had small portions since joining slimming world. I figured that just because pasta, rice, potatoes etc are free, it doesn't mean I have to eat mounds of them. When I joined, I bought myself a smaller plate because I'm one of these people who eats everything on my plate. If it's...

Thanks Kim- I'm still very wobbly in places but now I can focus on toning up properly. I can't pinpoint one particular thing that sparked me to start losing weight- it was a culmination of horrible comments, horrible experiences etc. I remember a friend of my ex commenting on what small wrists I...

Many years ago! Girls holiday Bridesmaid shopping!

Ooooo it's nearly holiday time!!! Been running around like a lunatic today as oh is working so it's my job to get everything together! Really looking forward to having a little break - just the two of us! The last two weeks have been so hard with opposite shifts. We haven't had chance to sit...

Personally after years of yo yo dieting and going from one club to the next and giving up and rejoining, I finally promised myself in November that enough was enough and I was rejoining slimming world for the final time and I was never leaving. It's been a long hard battle but I got to target...

Hi Nic- are you close to target at all or have you still got a bit more to lose?

Evening and welcome!! I tend to mix up my days dependant on whether or not I feel I need the extra healthy extras or not. When I'm doing extra easy days I tend to have fruit and yogurt for my breakfast or bacon, low syn sausages, beans, tinned tomatoes etc. Beans on toast means you're only using...

Thanks very much Jen- it's very surreal at the moment!! X

Hi, I totally understand your desire to want to get that 100lb certificate. You've done so well to continue on a plan (ww) and not leave sooner or switch. I started my journey on WW and left class then rejoined and then left and rejoined and then I made the switch to sw (best move I made btw) I...

Thanks so much Kim- I can't quite believe it!!! I'm going to enjoy the holiday, hope that I don't put too much on but even if I do, the challenge will get me straight back on track! Never in a million years did I think if get to target - it's very overwhelming!! Thanks for all of your support...

Thanks all and a special big thanks to Kim who has offered loads of support on my diary week in, week out!! You are a star!! Maintaining seems a bit daunting because all I've ever done is tried to lose weight!! Sure the challenge and you lovely ladies will keep me going!! X

Morning Kim!!! It's gone!!!!! The pesky half a pound has shifted and I'm now a target member!!!!! I can't actually believe it!!! It's a miracle!!! I've booked the holiday so we go away on Saturday for 5 days all inclusive so I'm going to celebrate but not go overboard!! It's so easy to come back...

Morning ladies!! I'm very pleased to report that I have lost that pesky half a pound to get me to target!!!!!! Whoop whoop! It's been a long hard slog but I'm now 8'9- I figure I never believed I would see when I was 14'2!!!!! So Kim, week one of challenge- loss 1/2 pound. Now to maintain...

On the app- I can find an easiyo mango yogurt that works out at 2.5 syns per 100g.x

Chicken chargrills (the original flavour ones) are 3 syns on extra easy. X

The Chinese one is free for 100g and the BBQ one is 0.5 syns for 100g. Checked on the sw app. Might have to get myself some of these! X

So it's the day before weigh in and as I'm looking after my friends house, I haven't had a sneaky peak on the scales for days!! I usually have a little peak each morning! Eeeeek! I've been super good the last few days so I'm hoping it will pay off tomorrow. I've been doing red days so have had...

Don't worry- I love my holidays and go away quite often - always all inclusive. As soon as I get back I tend to put on about 5-6lbs and within a day or two that drops to a 1-2lb gain. After a week back on track I'm back to my pre holiday weight! Hope you had a great time.x

Thanks very much Kim- really looking forward to the challenge to keep me on board!! Yesterday was a good day sw wise and I did update diary but posted it on the wrong thread - damn! Today has started with tinned tomatoes on wholemeal toast (HEXB) and a yogurt I've made roasted veg and mixed...

Sorry ladies- that ramble was meant to be posted onto my diary!!! X

Ooooo who'd have thought the weather would be so damn nice when I agreed to work bank holiday Monday!! It's absolutely gorgeous! Just nipped to the supermarket and got lots of fruit and salad in. I just can't eat soup when the weather is so nice but can eat my body weight in salad! The...

Kim, thanks for the invite to the challenge!! It'll definitely help me I think. I'm going for target of 8'9 and then to maintain! Start weight 8'9.5 and weigh in on Thursdays! Come on you pesky half a pound- be gone this week!!! X

Hi Kim- I've just read the challenge actually and thought it would be a good idea to join- I'll pop over now and add my details! Thank you!! Tooth still sore- boooooo!! Xx

Update for today! So last night I did have a curly wurly for 6 syns. That took me to 44 for the rest of the week. Minus the 2 syns for mayo in salad mentioned earlier takes me to 42. Had 2 pieces of toast as a snack earlier (HEXB) with some pate on (reduced fat asda) 2 syns (40 remaining)...

Feeling much more positive today!! Don't know what was up with me yesterday! Started the day by getting up and heading to the gym! Felt great to get back into it! Food wise Breakfast - banana Lunch - half a subway salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green peppers, cheese HEXA, 2 slices of...

I don't have a food processor but I you're looking for an appliance that is really good for slimming world then I highly recommend a slow cooker. Slow cookers are fab for cooking slimming world meals and soups etc and mean that you don't have to spend hours and hours in the kitchen. Just throw...

Well today is Saturday. I'm feeling really sorry for myself :-( Don't really know whats wrong, possibly that OH is on opposite shifts so I haven't seen him apart from for a brief hour yesterday. Could be that the house hunting/saving is getting me down. Grrrrr! Anyways, I promised I'd write...

Kim, very very wise words. I'm taking the pressure off this week and hoping for the best but we will see. If I'm honest, I haven't written everything down for a long time so I'm going to do my best to make a conscious effort to write my food down this week and see if it helps. I'm quite relaxed...

Thanks Kim- just got back from class and once again it's a maintain this week! Grrrrr!! I've decided to give it one more shot this week to drop the half a pound and if it doesn't come off this week then I'm calling target. I've read a few of your posts this week to others about numbers etc and...

I can totally relate to this! I've struggled with my weight since forever! I was never a slim child (in fact I'm probably lighter now than I was at maybe 11!) At class last week I lost 1lb taking me half a pound from target. It's been a long hard battle for many many years and the last few...

Really enjoyed food over the last couple of days. Lots of fruit and salad but can't help but notice that I've been eating more than I normally do when I have a not so good week. Yesterday I had salad and chicken twice! Only twice because I enjoyed it so much!! Had fruit and yogurt twice too-...

Had a lovely weekend and tried as best as I could to make wise choices. I have had a few malibus with diet coke but food wise I've been pretty good. Just nipped to aldi and grabbed some fruit for the next couple of days. I'm on nights now for 4 nights so I'll be having weetabix and fruit through...

I think slimming world recommend upping your healthy extras when you reach target and maybe a few extra syns. From what I can gather its a little bit of trial and error to find a happy medium for you that stops you losing and prevents you from gaining. X

Saturday!! Off!! Yey!! Had a stir fry for tea last night- oh was keen on getting a takeaway but I really wanted to tackle the weekend as best as I could. We're both off tomorrow so we will probably have a couple of drinks this evening so I'm going to stick to plan good wise and then minimise...

No probs- glad you enjoyed!

Thanks Kim!!! How annoying is that little half a pound! Grrrrrr!! It's left me feeling really positive about this week though- surely I can shift half a pound!! I'm going to drown myself in water!! Haha! You always recommend water intake being upped and I never really drink it so this week I'm...

It's 2 syns per 100g- I'm not sure what size the pots are but 2 syns doesn't seem bad at all. I think I've had one before and they're yummy! X

Strawberry and cherry work well of you add some fresh fruit to it too eg, mixed berries, fresh strawberries. The toffee isn't as sickly if you add a banana to it. The vanilla with chocolate sprinkles works well too. The chocolate orange one is nice with some mandarin segments on the side.

Do you like quorn? Quorn mince and quorn chicken pieces are always an essential when I head to the shops. I find that on days when I'm badly prepared I can use them for curry, chilli, spag Bol etc. A Fridge wise, skimmed milk, fruit, veg, salad, stir fry mix, muller lights, babybel cheeses...

Sorry is it the coconut Greek style fromage frais or actually yogurt?

Weigh in this evening and 1lb off! Pretty chuffed with that- takes me half a pound from target! I will get it this week! Plan of action; Water water water Salad and lots of it! Mainly red days Minimal bread Increased exercise! Bring it on!!

Yesterday was a successful day with hot chicken and mushroom salad for evening meal. Picked on free food all throughout the rest of the day. Today - red day Banana Muller light Salad - lettuce, tomato, cucumber Ham 30g cheese (HEXA) Wholemeal bread roll (HEXB) Melon and grapes 2 chocolate...

I tend to have turkey and ham, salad wise (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green peppers) a sprinkle of grated cheese for HEXA sometimes too.x

Vodka is 2.5 syns for 25ml and 4 for 35ml. I think holiday drinking is always a difficult one to call. Most places don't measure out the ml in their spirits like they do at home so quite often you could be having more than you think you are. Also if they use quite large glasses and there's...

You can only join slimming world if you've got 7lbs or more to lose. Think it's to prevent people who are at the lower end of there bmi joining and potentially going into an unhealthy weight range maybe. Suppose it would be difficult for a leader to teach someone the plan who didn't need to lose...

Thanks very much Kim- you're totally right, it's just a number and I often forget how far I've come! It will come and I just have to be patient - I felt I deserved it last week, I can't say the same for this week! Have been working all weekend and it was a crazy set of shifts! I didn't get a...

I'm going to do success express for the next couple of days before weigh in and probably next week too. Had a busy and manic weekend so time to get dedicated!! Haha! X

I have subway salads all the time because they're free!! If I feel that I want bread then I have my own wholemeal roll as my HEXB with it. You then find that you don't need the whole salad and can save half to have as a side on evening meal it for lunch the following day! X

Right a fresh week and a fresh head!! I'm going back to basics! Going to have a flick through my books and get cracking. A trip to supermarket tomorrow or Sunday to get in some fresh ingredients. Today will be a red day. I had quite a few green days last week and I'm wondering if the added...

Ahhhhhh! Don't know how at all but I've gained half a pound!!! I could cry!! Been so good this week and really thought I'd be getting target this week!! It's mighty frustrating and to think that I've now got another half a pound to shift is horrible!! Need to find myself some motivation to stay...

Ah thanks Kim! I'm really hoping that I get it tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll be going to my normal 11am class and it would be lovely to get it and share it with all the lovely folks at that class. Sometimes with the shifts I have to go to other classes but the 11am class is my fave! Hehe! Total loss...

4 syns each.x

Hi- dilemmas indeed- it's a tough decision. I think it depends on the person to be honest. For me, I need class. So many times I have been backwards and forwards to different classes and it got to a point where I got embarrassed because I'd go back to a class and I was back where I started...

Ooooo interesting!! I'm absolutely shocked by sw tbh! Like you I've tried every diet under the sun and could never get below a certain weight and then I gave sw a go and voila I beat that weight plateau. I just wish that I'd tried it sooner!! I think I put it down to cooking from scratch, fresh...

Well I went to a class last night as planned! So chuffed with myself for going- it's a big step for me as I've always had a bit of a phobia of those sorts of situations. It kind of made me reassess how far I've come on this journey! I didn't feel as self conscious as I used to and I actually...

Well I've taken the dogs out for a walk in the sun - was so nice!! I've also taken the plunge and booked myself onto a class at the gym! I've been meaning to do it for a long time so I took the plunge! What's the worst that can happen- I don't like it so I don't go again!! Had poached egg on...

Tuesday 1st April Last night I made a lovely curry for my tea. Used quorn chicken pieces so that I was still on a green day. Served with boiled rice and sw chips. Was delish and there's some left over for today! Yey! Started today with weetabix (HEXB) and milk (HEXA) Think I'll have a...

Syns are part of the plan equally as much as free food, healthy extras etc and sw says a minimum of 5 per day with a max of 15 syns. If you aren't having at least 5 syns daily then ultimately you're not following the plan. I learned this the hard way because I really wasn't a 'synner' and one...

Thanks for the positive thoughts as always Kim- it's so easy to start trying to compromise things that are important to us because we want it so bad but you're totally right! I'll try not to lose sight! Such a small world isn't it- I'm currently living with parents in ness which is right next to...

Welcome Claire and all the best on your journey. Something clicked in me too when I joined (for the very last time) and realised that sw is a life plan as opposed to a quick fix and I've never looked back since that day! Good luck! X

Hi kim, he liked it and could see the potential with it too but thought the same as I do in that it's a little bit too small for us. The area is perfect though. I've seen another one that I like but it's not in the perfect area! It's just so hard. We do two sets of weekend nights in a 5 week...

Didn't end up having homemade soup before work- opted for slimming world chips and a blt sandwich (HEXB) instead. Was yummy!! So today's food:- Muller light (free) Banana (free) Hi fi bar (HEXB) Had this on my break early hours of this morning. Think I'll have a green day today to mix it up a...

Not had a bad weekend food wise but not been sticking to plan 100% either. Don't think I've gone over my syns but I'm going to stick to 5 a day over the next few days just to be sure. Today's food so far- EE day Jacket potato (free) Tuna (free) Mayo (2 syns) Cheese (HEXA) Salad (superfree) Got...

I totally wouldn't let her get to you. She could be one of these people that join and think that once they get to target that all of their problems are solved and will stop going to class. Talking from experience, this doesn't work! I'm 1lb (one very stubborn pound I may add) away from target...

Oh Kim- I'm so stressed! The house has potential but it has been left in a bit of a mess by people that have been renting it before it went on the market. I viewed it without OH so he's coming to see it tomorrow. I love the area but if I'm honest it's a bit too small. I'm on nights this weekend...

That is very bizarre that you've done things exactly the same and then get a good loss. It's fabulous though that you always stick to plan - I find that a disappointing day turns into a disappointing week for me! I must change that! Just been weighed and by some sort of miracle I've maintained...

Any of them in particular? They vary for each one eg, sweet and sour 7.5, korma - 9. X

I've checked the app and it is 4.5 syns for half of the carton. Some soups can be used as HEXB choices but I'm not sure about this one. I find it's much better to make my own soups and then they are syn free because I'd rather use my syns on other things but in the grand scheme if things at 4.5...

Thanks Kim- target is 8'9 so I was 8'10 last week. I weigh in on Thursdays but think I'm on for a little gain this week- maybe half a pound or a pound! I've been out for 3 meals and the OH and I have been viewing houses in between shifts which has meant grabbing food here and there and no gym...

Weigh in yesterday and I'm pleased to report another 1lbs off taking me 1lb away from target. Determined to get that 1lb off this week (hopefully a little extra so I've got a bit to play with) Started today with a massive lie in so breakfast was well and truly missed! Just made the spaghetti...

Haha- I'm pooped with any form of exercise too and I don't have the problems you have medically, just my laziness!! I've had more bread this week to be honest, I find it's easier for weeks when I'm not so planned. I'd be surprised if I see much of a loss this week. I haven't been bad as such but...

Aw Kim it must be really hard. That was a fair amount of exercise to be doing so it must be hard that you can barely do any anymore. I've never been the greatest fan of exercise but slowly I'm getting into it. I find I love it when I'm actually doing it, it's just finding the motivation...

Today's plan:- Grapes, strawberries (superfree) Muller light (free) Hi fi light bar (3 syns) BBQ pulled pork (free) 30g cheddar HEXA slimming world syn free chips Wholemeal roll (HEXB) May have some fruit later. The slimmer of the week didn't stay to class yesterday so fruit bowl got raffled...

It certainly is hard Kim - I can't believe I ever actually got this far. So many times I've just given up when I've hit 9'7 and thought that my body settled at that weight but with a little bit of determination I beat that - I'm amazed. At least we've stuck at it hey. You've done amazingly with...

Aw thanks Kim- I could have been there much sooner but I've really lost my mojo the last couple of weeks. Guess life sometimes gets in the way of things. How's things with you?

So just finished night shifts and went to weigh in last night and I'd lost 1lb. 2lbs to go until target! Really hoping I can get the 2lbs off this week! Slow cooker is on now with pulled pork cooking nicely. Plan to have that later this evening with some slimming world chips and some salad...

So, back to it today! Still not feeling 100% but appetite it back with a vengeance!! Oh dear!! Because I've not been too good, I've made zero food plans so I'm not sure where to begin today! I've got some roasted veg that I picked up yesterday in tesco reduced to 18p!! Whaaaaat! So I'll have...

Been absent for a week now- this won't happen again I promise. Oh has been off work this week so it's made things really difficult food wise and I missed class in Thursday because we wanted to make the most of our time together. Then On Friday I got ill. Not sure whats wrong but I have really...

I love strawberries and grapes with a muller poured over them! Mmmmmm delish!!

Fab! I haven't been very good at my little challenge this week so I'm going to start by upping the water tomorrow and then class and zero bread from next week. Only 3lb to target now so need to do all it takes to get there! X

Yep, just checked the app. They're 3.5 syns.x

So last night I had the chicken kebab- I don't think it'll be too bad as it was grilled chicken, salad and I had it in a wrap (I'm going to say that is my daily syn allowance) when I say last night, I mean Friday as it's now nearly 4am on Sunday morning but I've been on twilight type shifts...

And absent again for a couple of days- I haven't been really bad but haven't been 100% on plan either. Bad habits of grabbing a biscuit here and there have crept in! Weigh in yesterday and I had a STS so I decided that I would set my goal weight! Stayed behind at class and I've set target as...

Hope weigh in went well!! I used to love getting stickers- it's great when the back of your book is covered in them!! I rarely get them these days as I lose very slowly as I'm nearly at target so my excitement comes in the form of eating a rocky road hi fi bar at class instead if I lose! Haha!! Xx

Oh damn - challenge has gone to pot!! I've had bread today! Grrrrrr!! I haven't been to a class yet but will tomorrow hopefully. And I've not had two litres of water for the last two days!! Challenge will begin again on Thursday after weigh in!! X

Oooo I've been absent for a couple of days!! I've still been mooching around the threads but haven't updated my own!! I've been on plan but just haven't had anything overly exciting to eat due to being in nights! Day off today and I've had: Grapes and banana topped with a muller light (free)...

Congratulations on getting married- pic is fab! Lovely that you're both doing the sw journey together!! Good luck for weigh in tomorrow- hope you get your shiny sticker!! X Ps. Food for today looks yum- don't know if you've forgotten to syn your babybels (not that it matters too much as...

And awake!!!! Was busy busy busy as expected but good fun!! I popped and saw the OH for an hour before work because I was missing him and it made me feel a lot better. Can totally relate to the shops passing in the night thing Kim! I just chuckled about the exercise in work!! Had visions of me...

Hi Kim- I've set myself 3 mini challenges for this week 1. Drink at least 2 litres of water! (I'm so rubbish at drinking water) 2. Eat no bread (I think this definitely contributed last week to my 3lb loss) 3. Go to a class at the gym (I've been looking daily and then always opt for a gym...

I work shifts too- it can be really tough. When I'm on days, I take in soup/mugshots or a salad. I'll often take fruit to snack on too. I often put something in the slow cooker before I go out so when I come back I don't just grab anything and everything! On afternoons, I may take in the...

Friday!! On nights this weekend so slept for as long as I possibly could. When I woke up, I had a hi fi bar (HEXB) Had a little snack this afternoon of snack a jacks (4.5syns) Went to the gym this afternoon and did a 30 minute run on treadmill followed by 10 minutes on the bike. Just had a...

Day 1 So far I've had a litre of water so just a litre to go!! I'm on nights so I'll make sure I have a couple of bottles through the night! I've had zero bread! Yey!! Didn't go to a class today but I've been to the gym and done a 30 minute run and 10 mins on the bike followed by 7/8 mins on...

Aw abi- you'll be fine when you're back to it. With all that you have going on at the moment I think you've done amazingly not to put on more! I had a gain last week after my holiday of 2lbs and this week I dropped it and an extra 1lb - I never drop more than a pound or so. So, it's totally...

I don't think it's a good idea. I had a week a while back where I had maybe 2/3 syns each day because like you, I don't have much of a sweet tooth or if I do fancy something sweet, I find that fruit and a muller will do for me. That week I didn't lose and I was gutted so I was advised to 'up'...

My little snack when I fancy something sweet is strawberries and red grapes topped with a vanilla with chocolate sprinkles muller light! I know this might not cut it for some people who love chocolate but it does the trick for me! I recently developed a craving for biscuits until I had the...

Hi all I've decided to do a little challenge for the week ahead and feel free to join in if there's a couple of things you want to change this week to get a good result on the scales next week. This week my small changes are:- 1. Drink at least 2 litres of water daily (I'm rubbish at drinking...

Update for today I did have my muller and fruit this afternoon. Also had a bag of snack a jacks (4.5syns) Decided to do a green day and knocked up some vermicelli noodles with peppers an beansprouts and egg, a bit of chilli a and soy sauce - completely free!! Also had some apple topped with...

Depends on the brand etc but most are coming out at about 2.5 syns when I search 'mini doughnut' on the app.x

4 syns per tbsp.x

Hi Sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you've had a really tough time but by posting on here and writing down your inner most thoughts and feelings, you're obviously at a stage where you want to do something about it. The above post is an achievement in itself. Your...

1 syn for a level tbsp.x

Hey Really honest and brave of you to write all of the above down. I can relate to so much of it!! People can be infuriating at times can't they?? I've found that as I've lost weight, I've changed and to be honest I've reevaluated some of my friendships and associates. Before, when I was...

Hi all. Kim, sounds like its a plus that it's not your neck. Hope the appointment is quick and you don't have to go private. Least your getting some possible answers which must make you feel better. Must be awful that you can't work at the moment so I have my fingers crossed for you!! Weigh in...

3lbs off!!!!!!!!! Over the moon- the hard work this week has paid off!! Back in the 8's- the lady that weighs in said 'surely you're at goal now? Your bmi is now 22.8 and you look great!' - was soooo nice of her to say this! I guess it is time to maybe start thinking about target. I'm going to...

I mix it up a bit and do all 3 days depending on what I fancy. On green days (mainly when I fancy carbs) I substitute meat with quorn so may have a spag Bol or a chilli or a veg stir fry with noodles. Sometimes a jacket potato with beans and salad. On red days i have salad. So, steak with...

Wednesday 19th February. Day off!!! Spent productively washing/ironing and then chilling out for a while before going to the gym!! Did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 on the bike before having a lovely steam!! Bliss!! So, food today:- Breakfast - weetabix with milk (HEXA and HEXB) Snacks -...

How fabulous to hear that you're ok!! I was worrying that you may have fallen off the wagon and I'm super pleased to hear that you've done the opposite and had a fantastic loss!!! Well done you!!! You will get into that dress without doubt - you've got the determination! :-)

I use the kraft thousand island (light) salad dressing. It's not free but only half a sun for a tbl spoon. Worth it in my opinion.x

Hope the appointment goes well tomorrow Kim.x

17 syns for the pot! Eeeeek!

The only one I can find is the king prawn chilli stir fry which is 4 syns for the bag.x

I'd imagine (but not 100% sure) that the 2.5 syns are for the ones that you can get in a bag and the 6.5 syns are for the individual bars maybe?? It would make sense because the bars are about the size of 2-3 of the ones that come in a bag.

These pots vary from 9 syns to 13.5 dependant on flavour. I have them in work every now and then but it's a hefty syn amount. What I'm not sure of is if we can deduct 6 syns and count as HEXB and x amount of syns which wouldn't be too bad. If anyone has the answer it would be great!!

Tuesday 18th February So I was crazy busy yesterday so couldn't update - had a little blip but really little I'd say considering the day I had!! Breakfast/lunch was porridge made with water (HEXB) melon, apples Snack - 2 x babybels (HEXA) Now here's the bad bit! OH and I have been saying we...

I'm similar to you in that I don't have many lbs to go before target! I had a week or two where I had 5 syns daily and didn't lose. I was told to up my syns and see if that made a difference. I was very sceptical to say the least - I figured surely if I eat more 'naughty' food this can't be...

Hi Donna - the only one I can find us 'tesco ravioli in tomato and beef sauce' - that's showing 5.5 syns for the can on green and ee and 17.5 on original. It might not be the one that you have but think this would suggest that if your one is free then it wouldn't be on original if that makes sense!

Not sure about the sauce but the sausages are a hefty 4.5 syns each!! Eeeeek!

Mmmm chocolate cake!! You deserve it- you've got good news to celebrate!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you this week! X

Lovely to see you've started a diary gracielue - did you get to join the gym today? X

Sunday 16th February. Started the day with a hi fi bar (HEXB) Then had to grab something in corner shop at work for lunch because I didn't have time to go and get fruit etc from big supermarket so I had a batchelors deli box (curry flavour) I remember reading that these are low in syns and was...

Did I use the word 'awesome' above!!! I loathe that word - it's cringe!!! I'm changing it to 'great' as I'm ashamed of myself!!

Oh nooooo- hope your injury wasn't too bad!! I have to admit my left knee plays up every now and then- I don't think it's very strong! I've signed up to do the tunnel 10k - Liverpool-Wirral through the mersey tunnel! It'll be a killer!! I'm sure the exercise will help with getting your 2lb...

I've just taken up running- I've signed up for a 10k race in June so I'm trying to train for it. Never used to be able to run 2 mins- now up to about 40 mins. I do interval training in the treadmill at the gym. I want to try and up the classes at the gym. I'm paying for the membership so should...

No sorry the asda chosen by you ones. Not sure about the tesco ones.x

Checked the app- they're 4 syns each.

Yey!! You can be my body magic buddy!! X

I'm going for the gold award so from what I can gather I've got to do 5 x 30 mins exercise per week. Then I think this is to be maintained for 8 weeks to get the award. I figured that it'll get me into gear with the exercise so I can tone up!! X

Sometimes just writing things down helps. Why not pop a diary up on here and then you can keep on top of things! I try and write my diary daily regardless of whether I've been good or not- it helps me to refocus!! Well done on deciding to join the gym. I've started doing body magic award today...

Oooo I've been thinking of trying the rogan josh! Glad you've said its nice- I'll give it a whirl!

Well done on your first weeks loss- that's fantastic!! Get yourself back on track and keep your syns to a minimal 5 each day. Drink lots of water and get in some body magic and you may get a loss. Most importantly, draw a line under your binge (it happens to us all) and remember why you joined...

Awesome day on plan and feel so much better or it!! Breakfast - oatso simple porridge pot (10 syns or 4 if I'm allowed to deduct as HEXB) Strawberries and grapes (superfree) 2 x babybels (HEXA) 1 x hi fi bar (HEXB) Tea - massive salad! I mean covering the whole plate! Boiled egg (free) chicken...

I totally know how you're feeling. I had a gain this week but I'd been on an all inc holiday the week before. I gained 2lb at class but in reality I had gained much more and managed to pull a few lbs back!! Since being weighed I cannot get back in the swing of things. It's thrown me totally!! I...

14.5 syns for the can.x

Thanks Kim and congratulations!! I've decided that this week I'm cutting down on bread! It's going to be really tough for me because I have quite a bit especially when doing red/green days! I'm also going to start the gold body magic award tomorrow. I'm upping my water intake (won't be too...

Congratulations nanakim!!!!!! That's fab news!! X

After not updating for a couple of days I figured I best update today because it is weigh in day!! Been really good the last few days trying to claw back on the holiday gain! So weighed in this morning and I've gained 2lbs! I'm a bit miffed because I thought it would be less than that and 2lb...

12.5 syns for the jar according to the app.x

Late update for today!! Breakfast - 2 slices wholemeal toast (HEXB) tinned tomatoes (superfree) Snack- bag of wotsits (5 syns - I think! Multipack so could be 4.5??) Tea - remainder of chick pea Dahl concoction from yesterday and couscous (free) 2 slices wholemeal bread (HEXB 2) 2 laughing cow...

All showing as free on my app! :-) x

Homepride ones vary from between 17 and 28 syns for the jar dependant on which flavour

If it's the mini ones that come in a 12 pack they're 2.5 syns each.x

Change of plan for tea!! Fancied something warm and filling so had chick pea Dahl (added mushrooms, peppers and quorn chicken fillet) and served with some cous cous!! All free!! Unfortunately a Jaffa cake (2.5syns) and a foxes fruit and nut cookie (6.5syns) fell into my mouth this afternoon...

Hey- sorry to hear your partner isn't being 100% supportive! Instead of going upstairs and shedding a few tears- let him see!! Let him see that you're upset and that you feel you've let yourself down. My partner is supportive 99% of the time but that's because I've spoken to him, he knows how...

Sunday 9th February Had a massive lie in, thought I'd let my body sleep until I naturally woke up! Woke up at 10:30- feel great!!! Unfortunately I didn't stretch properly after yesterday's gym session! A little bit sore now- done a few stretches this morning hoping I'll be able to go to the gym...

They sound gorgeous!!! Definitely will give them a whirl. I take it you mean wholemeal bun though as wholegrain would be syns???

How's about saving your HEXA and B and having weetabix with warm milk! I always find it's lovely on cold winter nights - lots of fibre too! Or, perhaps make a batch of syn free soup and have it in the fridge ready to poor into a bowl when you get in- a couple of minutes in the microwave whilst...

Aw poor Charlie!! Fingers crossed he wakes up in the morning feeling a little better!! You're looking super duper missy!! And you've just reminded me that I still haven't tried your wine/diet coke thingy after we discussed it weeks ago!!! It's on my 'to do' list for when I next feel in need of...

Oooo I love curry - that sounds delish!! My spag Bol was much nicer this eve than it was yesterday so I think in future I'll make it the day before I have it!! Stuck to my 5 syn plan today- only ended up having 2 laughing cow light triangles so I'm counting them as syns (2) because I did snack...

It's 5 syns for the 190g pack.
