I joined yesterday and I wondered this. But the book does say it in two seperate places which makes me think it is any crumpets

im not looking forward to tomorrow morning. ive not bothered counting my syns because ive not really had many but the three i did have were bigguns. ive had 3 McFlurrys this week. whoops. there all about 400 calories each so you do the math. fatty boom boom this week methinks. lol

i re-joined after they sent me a survey to fill out and offered me 3 half price boxes to come back.... im a sucker for a deal so i started my deliveries up again. i'm expecting the 2nd one on Friday. last Fridays one had toffee apple in and apple crumble. they were well yummy. :) aaaaan i get...

just seen this thread. ive been tempted for a while to buy some, one of the girls at group stuck the packaging sticker on my sw book case thing so remembered where to get them so its always staring me in the face lol. are they ok to freeze? because im going camping for a weekend in july and i...

Well id wash it myself just incase. But tbh if it was me i wouldnt worry. Lol im on holiday, eat everything in sight. Thats the reason im at slimming world anyway. To look good in the bikini and not worry about 2 weeks of all inclusive piggyness. Then pick it back up when im back. :)

Hmmm thats a good one! i suppose the pineapple isnt cooked to a pulp and is just being warmed up. Id never thought of that though lol. But its prob out of a tin anyway so would prob have to be synned or heb'd regardless.

I put on 1.5lb... But that was expected. I find it hard to eat properly at the moment. Im finishing the last few weeks of my degree and with doing a group project im hardly in the same place twice to have time to eat decent stuff. Anyone else struggling with this? The stress just makes me...

Ok, cheers But yeah I know its easier to eat it that way and I would consume more that way but I'm not saying that. I'm saying my fruit consumption on a typical day wouldn't change, just the morning half quickly mushed together in an easier to eat form. I don't want it totally pureed. Just sort...

Oh, thats a point then, tomato puree is free. Thats technically a fruit, and its pureed. Why hasnt that got a syn value then? And why is it free for mashed banana also? Explain that one.

I know its 'the rules' and rules is rules. But, sometimes slimming world doesnt make sense. Lol Its still going inside me in whatever form its in, its the same amount of fruit. I bet it wont make a difference to my weightloss in the slightest. Im just gonna do it...

Ok, so i know canned, pureed, cooked and blended fruit are all meant to be heb's or synned. I also know the reasoning is because although fruit is a super free food, in one of these forms it is easier to eat more than you normally would. And therefore upping your sugar intake. And i totally...

It says 50g of feta for a hea. Is feta goats cheese? I always thought it was. :)

Coffee is free. Its on the storecupboard staples page. Drink as much of the stuff as you like. Since joining i just drink black coffee and 2 sweetners which makes it all free. Thankfully. Or id be asleep on night shifts lol. Ive got the 2012 food directory here somewhere aswell and it has a...

Not in this thread but another one about pretty much the same thing it was said by none other than the patchwork puss about 2 months previous.

it wasn't directly aimed at you tbh, i just used what you said as an example, but if you do insist on being pedantic about things like that then yes, take it aimed directly at you. I've seen how you try to patronize people around this forum and quite frankly it annoys me. you yourself must...

I know, I was outraged. Apparently that's where I was going wrong originally. I was eating them as free food. Haha

i agree totally. philly light is philly light. end of. the only difference is the philly light has garlic and herbs in it, which by my recollection are "store cupbored staples" anyway. which means if you buy a tub of philly light, then take it home and put some garlic in it and sprinkle some...

OH MY GOD!!! probably a bit late, but has anyone tried melting it? if i could get away with saying 'omg its totes amaze balls' i probably would but i cant so OMG!! its amazing, try it. lol

STS. well after a chicken kebab and an indian this week and polishing off a whole bottle of rose to myself, its pretty good going.

yeah it just says a 27g sachet of porridge and 1 ryvita. i never have the ryvita though. i always forget. Although one thing i get confused about is it says in the free branded foods book that you can have quaker sachets and quaker paw-ridge sachets as a HEB now, ive never seen these about but...

OH MY FREAKING GOD that is awsome!!!! how the hell did you ever think of that? i am speechless. i love pizza and just thought i was destined to never eat it again you are an absolute legend *runs off to find some smash*

Hmmm. It does sound good. But,the coconut ones have chocolate in don't they!? I suppose you couldn't taste it but to me that would be weird lol.I'd be eating it knowing full well there is chocolate in it and thinking hmm that's not right.. Although I suppose there is the coconut greek ones...

blood

I sometimes get comments like that. Like all i talk about is food but all i did was talk about food before lol now im just talking about the right kind of foods. I just love food tbh lol. I just dont like my bfs attitude to it sometimes. He will support me and try and egg me on to do well and...

Oh. Yeah that makes sense. Sort of just like a green day really just without any pasta and stuff i spose. :)

what do you mean 'free' days? I thought there were only red green or EE ? Is there something im missing? Lol Although even if there is a free day i suppose the nuts still wouldnt qualify? If they are a heb. Would they?! :S i spose i dont know what a free day is though. X

Just got back from group and been informed that morrisons light cranberry juice is free. Only that one though. No other cranberry juice. Thought id just post it for those who like cranberry juice and didnt know. :) x

Morning Just lioked un my book. It says 10 almonds, shelled and whole or 2 level DSP of flaked almonds. I assume dsp means dessert spoon!? But thats the first time ive ever seen that written somewhere lol.

Asdas do some lovely cottage cheese thats free in there good for you range. Try the cracked black pepper one. Its lovely. :)

oh and yeah, syns i count midnight to midnight too. x

im on nights too this week. i dont find it tooo bad i suppose. i try to have breakfast when i get in then when i wake up have some lunch and then dinner about 8/9 ish just before i start at half 10 and hope that takes me through the night. il have a bottle of water with me in work all the time...

weigh in at 9.30 after a night shift. lets see how well thats goes after drinking water and coffee all night. and having a very indulgent Saturday at alton towers (bacon double cheese burger meal from Burger King. 2 and half doughnuts, caramel frappuchino from starbucks, a marshmallow thing, a...

thats how i think. its not going to kill you if you eat the wrong pitta bread. i think these HEX are taken out of hand a little bit. on the bread side of things its wheat, your allowed 60g of bread. just look at the wheat content and buy a pitta thats roughly in the same ballpark figures. one...

not totaly sure what you mean but here goes: Green day is mostly veg and pasta and rice with healthy extras being meat/chicken/fish and any of the EE healthy extra B's and red days have the free foods as mostly meat & veg and the healthy extras are pasta and rice and potatoes ETC. to put it...

the reason i dont do EE days is because if somethings to good to be true, it usually is. being just over 13 stone when i started and very tall, i wasnt exactly what some slimming world members would call fat. however, i think EE days would be more if you had alot more weight to lose in the...

i know this has probably been posted a million times and ive searched and looked but none have a straight enough answer. so, does anyone know the syn values of a chicken shaslick from an indian restaurant? and does it work out better if i have my usual green days and use the chicken as a HEB...

Sorted my ticker yay. for some reason it didnt hyperlink it :S

schweeet. cheers

Yeah. I put the bb code in. Hmm.. ill try again tomorrow. Cheers

quick question though, once you have a weight loss ticker, how do you edit it when you have lost weight? ive been trying to find out how to do mine.

3 1/2 lb. Wooo and club 10 sticker. Only downside i suppose this week is the dress i wore on NYE is now miles to big for me. :) cream lipsy dress on ebay it is then lol

just so you know, the more you excersice and doing the fitness DVD the more you are toning up your muscles too, so you probably are losing weight in regards to fat, but gaining in muscle mass, and muscle weighs more than fat apprently. so you may just be sort of shifting weight if you know what...

im a wednesday weigher :) can i join in too? :) my only problem is shift work though. ive been told to do my average over a month (add them all up and divide by weekes in the month) because i have to attend morning and evening classes. and my weigh ins end up all over the place. does anyone...

really? i need to read more and not just skim through, ive not come across any wraps yet. i need to be more observant i think. cheers guys. :)

oh bum. ive just looked at my 'free branded foods 2012' book and it doesnt say anything about it in the HEA section. tut, and there was me thinking i was being good using garlic and herb philly as my HEA mixed in with my HEB tuna for a sandwich (HEB bread) on a green day. ahh man, and...

oh, so is extra light philly not a HEA then?? i thought i was being good buying the extra light mini tubs and having 2 of them rather than 2 of the light ones... well, that changes things. woops.

Thanks guys. I sprayed them with frylight and sprinkled some paprika on them andy were very nice :) ill be doing that more often

Ok. So what about pitta breads? And does a HEB need to have a high fibre content then?

ive seen a few posts about wraps and im not sure if its something im missing but people have said they are not a HEB but no one has said why? so why are they not a HEB? because i thought a wrap was just a healthier version of bread so could probably just be substituted. am i wrong there? i...

Hey, ive been looking around and ive seen someone mention sweet potato chips. Would i just make these the same way as the normal slimming world chips? or has anyone got any other syn free takes on the idea? like something sprinkled on them or anything? any help would be much appreciated as now...

Im a bit late but the light choice steak salad is appaling. I had arguments with the waitress. Its the most pitiful thing i ever saw for £11.99 the steak was perfect but a bit small, and the tiny pile of greenery was a sorry excuse for a salad it looked more of a slight decorative garnish. So i...
