Hi Pete, I am a huge fan of your recipes! I was wondering if you had any recipes which use blue cheese? I have some laughing cow BC triangles that need using up :) thanks

Spag Bol with HEXA cheese

I've got a pack of scan bran that needs using & I would like to try one of the cakes but unsure which. I've tried the chocolate one on SW site & I wasn't a fan! Like the look of the curly wurly one but just wondered which were your faves??

Hey every one, I used to post here a few months back but have had a loooong time away from minimins and SW. Needless to say there has been a weight gain but I'm back and it's going to be off ASAP! Just wanted to check in to see what's new? I haven't done SW properly since mid 2012 so I need...

Haha yeah that does make sense! Going to give it a go, cheers :)

No problemo :) recipe for smash chicken is here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/277745-crispy-chicken-made-smash.html

Homemade burger and chips :)

That is definitely something I need to learn how to do!! I always eat the whole packet of whatever it is :(

Honk

Found it! I must've missed it, thanks! Do they taste like the ones from the takeaway??

I still think it would be worth it as a real treat! Sounds lush x

How'd you make your Singapore noodles? X

Seriously...make it. It's absolutely fab. I make it all the time and everyone loves it!

Ohhh that's a good idea, never thought of that! Thanks

Love this thread!! HexA? Cheese! 45g of reduced fat cheddar or 30g of parmesan appear on my food diary a LOT HexB? A Weetabix and a hifi light at the moment (listed on SW website). I also like the WW petit pains, a 60g wholemeal roll for burgers or a co-op pitta bread for pizza :) Synned...

Agreed, plus 75g is a lot of philly!! If I used it to stuff a chicken breast I can barely get it all in :D I do tweak though and have the flavoured philly as a HEXA, I like living on the edge ;)

My mum does SW with me and very rarely has breakfast, she has lost 2.5 stone!

1. Even though I gained tonight I am feeling positive I have a good week ahead 2. Holiday is in a week and a bit :) 3. Stocked up on lots of healthy stuff at Tesco!

Put on 2.5 but totally deserved it. Going to just be as good as I can up til holiday in a week and a bit rather than stressing that I still haven't lost enough weight!

Made a SW friendly version of Zizzis strozapretti pesto rosso tonight using a recipe I found on here...it was absolutely gorgeous. Recipe is here if any one is interested http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/143255-strozapretti-pesto-rosso-absoloutly-delish.html :)

Honk :)

Bacon and egg sarnie. Living the dream!!

Made this again tonight and it was lush! Didn't have chicken so added bacon and mushrooms. Very yummo!!

Was at work today and our MD told me that my weight loss is amazing and that I don't need to lose any more! Bless him.

Tesco BBQ chicken pieces (2 syns for pack) and salad

Good luck to all you Thursday weighers! X

I've never tried lychees but I always think they look a bit like eyeballs lol!

SW 'fry up'! 2 Tesco light choices sausages (1 syn each), smash hash browns, 2 poached eggs, 2 rashers of bacon and half a tin of Heinz 5 beans. Yummy!!

Honk

Not tried it yet but I totally am now!!! :D thanks

Yum! I looove tacos

Today I had Weetabix...again lol

Absolutely love this!! If only... ;)

Tesco have all varieties of mikados at 69p a box :)

Weetabix and yoghurt, no SF as I need to go shopping!!

BBQ frylight is awesome! If you can get hold of some then defo buy it. Makes for great tasting chips and burgers yum yum

Yep, its with the rest of the salads, packaged sandwiches etc in the store I get it from.

Is it just me or is there loooads of recipes in the new mag?? I'm not complaining but just seems as if there is loads more than normal!

Honk ;)

Thanks, will give them a go! I love making homemade burgers etc, I tend to make big batches and freeze them :)

Today I got a Tesco chilli chicken noodle salad for 2.5 syns. Yum yum

Congratulations!! :)

Oooh I'm making that tomorrow morning! Thanks for the idea

Haha yeah I always do the same! I think oh no probs I can do that in one week... Oh no! Lol. Thank you very much and congratulations on your weight loss too, 4 st is amazing! :) Will be VERY good this week don't you worry about that ;)

Yeah you don't realise how much it is, a lb weighs more than you think lol. It's always happened though, where I get close to an award but then I'm 1 or 2lb short! Never mind. Breakfast was a banana, some grapes and Weetabix with yoghurt.

Height; 5"7 Weight; 11 stone exactly Size; (Top) Mainly a 10 but some times a 12 (Bottom) Size 12, always carried my weight on my legs, hips, bum and tum!!

Thanks :) only lost 1lb, needed 2 for my 2st but never mind!!

Had a curly wurly - 6 syns :)

Just out of curiousity what were the kebabs like? I have the book and keep meaning to make something from it and they look scrummy!!

Absolutely gutted as only needed to lose 2lbs tonight to get my 2st award and I lost 1lb. Grr. Oh well a loss is a loss but I'm sure you can all guess what my next goal is!! ;)

Honkkkkk

Made the lasagne I said I would make and I've still got some leftover spag bol mix so going to freeze it for a rainy day :)

No problemo ;)

Lost 1lb but was hoping for 2 to get my 2 stone award, never mind I'll definitely do it next week!!

Good luck to all you Thursday weighers! Fingers crossed I'll get my 2st award tonight

Fruit salad again as its weigh in tonight :(

You can only buy hifis in group unfortunately :(

Yep, the hifi lights (small ones) are 2 for HEXB and the big hifis are 1 for HEXB, it should say that in your SW book or on the SW website too :) hth x

That all looks delicious!

Enjoy! I think spag bol always tastes nicer the next day any way :) I try to make extra so I can do a lasagna with the leftovers nom nom nom

Beef salad for me today

Bag of French fries (4) 2 funsize milky ways (3.5 each) 1 tbsp low fat spread (3) Total 14

Honk

Hopefully making spag bol tonight if I have time, then will make a lasagna with the leftovers tomorrow *drools*

Yep, its with all the other frylights in the Tesco I go to :)

Fruit salad and a mullerlight strawberry yoghurt

Totally agree, or just have 2 rocky road hifis instead mmmmm :)

Still had fajitas but only one wrap for 5.5 syns and filled it with chicken, loads of pepper, onions, cheese and salad. Left the coleslaw out so feeling very virtuous :)

Honk :)

Go you!! You should be so proud of yourself especially as you're doing it the healthy way and not starving yourself and having shakes designed for OAP's!! Lol

That sounds lovely :) I've seen salads with strawberry and a balsamic vinegar dressing too!

You're welcome, its really yummy :)

I think they stopped the 3 slices for HEXB when they released the new SW books in January, it now lists 2 for your HEXB (wish it was 3 though!!) :(

Absolutely loving evernote food, its great that it syncs with 'normal' evernote too - thanks for recommending it :)

Fajitas tonight...2 WW tortilla wraps (5.5 syns each), HEXA cheese, salad, coleslaw (2 syns for mayo), peppers and onion :) Total of 13 syns but its so worth it and it is first day back at work after all!

This thread is from 2009 so your reply may be a little late...:)

I always stock up on yoghurts and I also keep cooked chicken strips in the fridge along with plenty of fresh fruit...bananas and grapes are my life savers!!

Honk, I think! ;)

Had pasta carbonara tonight with smoky bacon, spring onion and mushrooms :)

It's 2 slices of this for HEXB :)

Poached egg on toast for me :)

Never knew there was a food one! Do you know if its available on Android?

Had a small bowl of chicken and chorizo paella today at a chilli fiesta, it was sooo good :)

Love the idea of this!

Went to a chilli fiesta today so my syns were used for various tasters. Particularly enjoyed the chilli peanut butter!!

I've lost 2 stone so far doing extra easy. I've done some red and green days but find I usually just go back to EE. It's a really great plan and I never feel hungry or deprived of anything!!

Honk honk honk!!

Tried diet coke chicken for the first time today, it was really nice but there was something not quite right...I used passata with garlic and herbs and I don't know if it would be better with just plain passata??

Batchelors chicken deli box noodles (2) Options hot chocolate (2) Pink & white (2.5)

A pink and white which I dunked into my options hot chocolate. Mmmm!

This is a bit late but on Friday I went out with my best friend and she kept commenting on how 'skinny' I looked and how much she loved the dress I had on! :)

1. Stayed on plan while at my fella's, normally a danger zone! 2. Feeling good about myself 3. Managed to resist eating a jam and fresh cream doughnut

I love evernote! Its great that you can add photos in there too. I sync mine with my home PC so I have access to it whereever I go :)

I too look through old photos, I made my desktop pc background a pic of the old me with a big red cross through it! I also put a picture on there of what 5lbs of fat looks like and update it with how many of them I've lost!

My favourite: 1. Vegetable - mushrooms or onions (so versatile) 2. Hi-Fi bar - Rocky road 3. Exercise - Bokwa, baby! 4. Flavour of cupcake - chocolate anything! 5. Holiday destination - Spain, but off to Crete soon so that might change :)

Where abouts do you live? I'm in Hampshire and we've had the opposite happen... in our Tesco they only did 2 varieties of frylight, now they do 4! I've never been able to get saladlight though unless I travel 30 mins down the road to Asda. Why don't you ask in store if they have stopped...

My friend let me borrow a Jeanette Jenkins DVD which I really enjoy, I think the one I do is sexy abs, legs and arms :)

Not sure if someone has posted this already but I make fish with a crispy smash coating :) I mix the smash with dried parsley, salt and pepper then I get some cod fillets (or whatever fish you like), dip them in egg and then roll them in the smash mix til completely covered and cook! You could...

BBQ frylight is also lush sprayed on SW chips and I spray it on the syn free HM burgers I make too! Nom nom nom :)

I make this all the time, absolutely love it! I mix the smash with some cajun spice mix, garlic salt, pepper and some onion powder. I also made some smash coating for some cod fillets the other night and just used dried parsley, salt, pepper and onion powder and they were delicious :)

That sounds delicious, going to save it to put in my recipe folder, thanks! I'm sure you know already but if you used dry noodles they are free :) I use sharwoods ones.

Completely agree, its got some delish recipes for starters, mains, sides and puds :) yum yum

I joined slimming world in January after a Christmas spent baking / cooking practically every Lorraine Pascal recipe going (mainly bread, pastries, cakes etc). I went along to group with my size 8 friend who wanted to lose a couple of pounds. I, on the other hand, wanted to lose a couple of...

I'm trying to put off buying anything until I reach target, wardrobe is very limited at the moment though! I did have to buy new jeans recently though as the old ones just looked daft!

I am putting money aside each month towards new clothes, I'm not buying anything unless absolutely necessary! It's becoming difficult though as a lot of stuff is now far too big and looks silly :(

Having HM lasagna tonight :)

Mug shot and lots of fruit (not together though...ew.)

Kitkat, been craving one for weeks!

Ohhh that sounds flipping delish! Going to have to try that

Chicken salad for me today, and some strawberries for after :)

My usual Weetabix mixed with a Mullerlight vanilla yoghurt, followed by a banana

Snap but just had 'normal' Weetabix :)

Out tonight for dinner with friends but I'm going to make good choices and stick to plan!

Lost 1.5lbs this week :) my mum lost 4!!

I used to love coriander and now I hate it! Maybe our tastebuds have swapped?! Lol

My mum got it for us so not sure on price but think it was from WHSmiths. Think they may have a deal running on cookery books at the mo but not sure - sorry, not much help!!

1. Lost 1.5lbs tonight meaning only another 2 lbs to lose til my 2 stone certificate :) 2. Going out for dinner tomorrow, going to be good and I've already picked what I'm having! 3. Resisted all the chocolate / biscuits / cakes that were bought into work today for a colleagues birthday

Honk!!!

I know, right?! Had it again this morning but with a toffee Muller instead :)

I use slimming world syns online

Got their cookbook yesterday and there are loads of recipes that can be adapted to Slimming World :)

Weetabix mixed with a Muller yoghurt and a banana, very nice :)

Planning on having a Tesco chilli chicken noodle salad for 2.5 syns and a punnet of grapes :)

Homemade pitta pizzas, yummy yum

Red Thai curry and rice :)

1. Even though today was off plan (was out so didn't have much control) I am still feeling positive. Line drawn and its going to be a good day tomorrow 2. I have got a lot of stuff sorted for holiday, including buying clothes and toiletries 3. Had a lovely day off work with my fella :)

Writing today off...enough said! ;)

Did you try it? I'm so excited for breakfast tomorrow lol

Me too! I get so excited when a new mag comes out lol

Honk for day 4 - oh yeah!!!

Lidl offers starting from Thursday 23rd; Pork loin steaks 480g - £2.49 Spring onions - 39p a bunch Italian style salad - 79p Extra lean steak mince 250g - £1.79 per pack

WM pasta with cooked bacon, courgette, mushrooms and spring onion. Bit of parmesan and WW creme fraiche mixed in and voila! Yummy and quick dinner :)

I'm sure pretty much everyone has tried this but its my new fave brekkie! Mix 2 Weetabix (HEXB) with a bit of water to soften them up. Add some sweetner and top with a vanilla Mullerlight yoghurt. It reminded me of crumble topping and custard!! Nom nom nom. You could use any flavour yog though...

Gave this a go and it was lovely! Put a vanilla Muller with it and it reminded me of crumble topping and custard! Yummo. Might syn some stewed apple at some point and try making a SW crumble type thing. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Yummy! Thank you for the recipe, will be giving that a go at the weekend for me and the OH :)

Ohh that did look lovely, like you said its SW to a tee!

Lol!!!

Muller Greek - 0.5 1 tbsp spread - 4 (counting this higher as not sure what % fat it is so went for middle option!) 100ml skimmed milk - 2 syns Total- 6.5 syns

1. Been on plan for 3 days straight 2. Felt slim today, hopefully on track for a sts or small loss! 3. Made a shopping list for holiday bits and bobs so feeling organised

What are the fishless prawns like? Saw them on offer the other day and I'm curious!!

Never thought of trying hot milk...although not really the weather for it! lol :)

That sounds lovely, think I may try that tomorrow morning! Thank you x

I am trying to do the exact same! On day 3 at the moment and my advice is to take it one day at a time. Planning my meals has helped so much too. Good luck, you can do it!! :)

Honk for day 3. I can do this!!

Tonight was parmesan crusted chicken breast with balsamic roasted veg (red onion, courgette, leeks and potatoes) yummy in my tummy!!

That sounds like my kinda dinner! *drool* Do you have a recipe please? X

Today is chicken tikka pieces with a side salad

Weetabix, part HEXA of milk and a banana. Does any one have any ideas as to how to jazz Weetabix up a bit please??

Oh I forgot about olives...manky things...*vom*

You're welcome :)

It's basically a pizza with a base made from smash. You make up a packet of smash using slightly less water than it says on the packet so its more like dough and let it cool. Roll out the smash to make a thin pizza base shape and bake until one side goes crispy then turn over and do the other...

This sounds lovely! Think I will give this a go. Have you got any other recipes I can try?? ;)

Honk x2 for today & yesterday!

I can't stand sprouts, broccoli or peas. I can't eat most 'fishy fish' (as I like to call them) like tuna, sardines etc. Recently I've gone right off parsnips as my MIL gives us about 3 parsnips worth on our plate. Plus they are honey roasted and far too sickly in that quantity! Most other...

1. Made a meal plan for next week 2. Have been on plan for 2 days (unheard of at the moment!!) 3. Only 29 days til our holiday :)

They are from http://www.joessausages.co.uk/ I THINK they are syn free but I've never tried them so not 100% sure.

2 funsize milky ways :)

Homemade 'breaded' cod (used smash coating), 2 syns worth of McCain rustic chips, 1 syns worth of ketchup, 2 syns of tartare sauce and a side salad salad. Nom!!

Will be a tbsp of Colman's tartare sauce to go with homemade fish n chips tonight (2 syns) Not sure what else but am yet to prepare brunch so we shall see...

Making fish 'n' chips tonight. Just been inspired to make fish fingers with the left over fillets I'll have too!! Excited :)

I know where you're coming from there! Think I need to invest in some different cereal lol

I have some cod fillets that need using so I'm going to make fish fingers now! You've inspired me...thanks!

Thank you, going to print the recipe off now!

I make a risotto very similar to this but omit the creme fraiche and use fat free fromage frais instead...tastes exactly the same and its free :)

I have a really light weight dress that I always wear. Also I take all my jewellery off just so I get a realistic figure from the scales ;)

25g is 2 syns on all plans. HTH x

Sounds lovely! How long did it take to make it?

Is this from slimmingeats? Really want to try it but don't think I'd stop at one slice!!

25g philly light (2) 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (2) 1 tbsp low fat spread (3) Total: 7

Still need to try these...must check fridge for cottage cheese!!

I had the exact same, could've lost double my body weight by now lol!! Thank you for your support, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :) its good to hear you're going in the right direction now. You can still lose quite a bit in 3 weeks! I think we put too much pressure on to lose weight...

Today I made the mushroom stroganoff from an old SW mag but added some beef strips to it, absolutely delish :)

Had a homemade burger topped with cheese, couscous and salad. It was so good!

Got up late so had some grapes before cracking on with lunch!

A Cadbury light mousse :)

Oh and jaffa cakes are BOGOF !

Tesco deals: 6 packs of lilt zero / fanta zero / dr pepper zero / sprite zero buy 2 for £6 Robinsons double concentrate NAS squash (1.75L) is 2 for £6 Quorn products 3 for £5 (inc. sausages, chicken style pieces and mince) Muller Greek style yoghurts half price @ £1.09 Light choices...

Weetabix, milk and a banana :)

2 Weight watchers tortilla wraps (5.5 syns each = 11 syns total) nom nom nom

Congratulations to all of you, loads of great losses! I gained a pound, thought it would be more like 3 though so better than expected!!

Chicken fajitas, used my syns on 2 weight watchers wraps for 11 syns. Had them with loads of orange pepper, salad, HEXA of cheese and homemade coleslaw. Sooooo good and well worth the syns!

Hifi light bar and a fruit salad

Tesco good food website is also good and easily adaptable. I'd also recommend Britmum's slimmingeats website, looooads of fab recipes on there x

Good luck everyone, not long now!

Ate at the pub tonight and had cheesy BBQ chicken, chips and salad (1/3 superfree!). Followed by a massive slice of chocolate torte and ice cream... I should not be allowed to leave the house :(

I bet yours tastes delish though, I just could not be bothered last night so didn't make the effort!! Need to hire an SW chef :) P.s. where is the curry sauce from? I've seen posts about it but never come across it

This thread is brilliant and makes success express really easy to understand!

Chicken salad today :)

I'd like to have one full week where I'm 100% on plan as that hasn't happened for a long time :( I thought having a holiday booked would motivate me but its had the opposite effect...any one else found the same?!

You're welcome :)

Me too some times!! :)

Haha oh yes, nothing like a solid, freezing cold tortilla wrap for dinner ;)

That's a great idea about writing how much weight you lost on there, I do go back and read my food diaries so think that will be something I add!!

Muller yog and a banana

That's great news, bet you're really proud of yourself :)

Congratulations, that's a fantastic achievement :) x

This is a great thread for recipes; http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/250434-petes-recipe-book.html :)

Hi, have a read through this http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/100149-slimming-world-advice-new-comers-including-extra-easy.html and it should answer your questions on extra easy. With regard to recipes there are loads in the recipe sub forum, have a search I'm sure there will be loads you...

The weight watchers plain tortilla wraps are 5.5 syns each, I keep them in the freezer so they last longer :)

25g is 2 syns so it would depend on the size of your scoops!! :)

Just checked on syns online as they are free, always worthwhile checking. The turkey breast slices are also free.

Think I need to start planning my meals and do a food diary each day. Thanks for all the advice so far, please keep it coming as its really helpful :)

What's an S.A.S log? I've heard of them but never used one!

This sounds delicious, thanks for posting :)

Asda bubbly bites are 3 syns each, and you can get them in milk or white choc...think they are £1 for a bag of 15 x

I have quite a few but if you're a fan of curries then Curry Heaven is great! But for just all round EE recipes I like Extra Easy meals in minutes. HTH x

Stir fry veg and egg fried rice. Pretty boring, just got no motivation at the mo :(

Great idea :) I used to buy some turkey slices so I guess you could use them too? Thanks for the idea x

Beef salad sandwich with a tiny tsp worth of LF mayo, yummy!

After being naughty for the past few days I've decided I need to go 'back to basics', I just wanted some input as to how you all start a fresh? Do you just read your books? Cook something new?? I can give out slimming world tips and tricks like there is no tomorrow but can't apply them to my own...

I tend to keep a food diary purely to note down all my syns so I don't miss anything. Makes me feel in control of what I'm eating and its good to look back on for inspiration :)

Stir fry...and will probably be same tomorrow to use some veg up!

Chilli and HEXA of cheese for me today, was delish :)

That sounds awesome!! Nom nom nom thanks for sharing :)

Started with the best intentions but have had to send myself to bed for being naughty. All started last night when I got the munchies during the Olympic ceremony!! So my syns have gone on chocolate and cheese (not together though) :(

Wish I had an Aldi near me :(

2 weetabix, with part HEXA of milk and a banana

Snap!

Thanks! Its only cause I'll be using one of my mums pans and if I messed them up she would kill me!!

Only the red onion and rosemary are free. LM does some other flavours which are synned :) HTH x

Hi everyone, Thought I would start a thread with some of my own SW friendly recipes. I have been following slimming world since January, I've now lost nearly 2st. I generally follow extra easy but do have the odd red or green day. All recipes are suitable for the extra easy plan...

Don't think so, there are loads of great ones they don't make any more :( guess its because syn values change and HEXB and HEXA quantities have changed too. If you have it please can you post the recipe for the BBQ sauce? :)

This is a great website I use it a lot :) I also love Britmum's Slimming Eats site as there are so many gorgeous recipes on there!

Hi Betty, This thread was from 2009 so its unlikely that you will get a reply I'm afraid :( however there are some links above that take you to where to buy them (I can't check if they still work though as I'm on my phone). Hope that helps x

Been doing slimming world since January and still haven't tried this! May give it a go this week. One question - will it mess up the pan I'm cooking it in??

I also had a nutella "incident"! It was not pretty. Defo avoid in future!! :D

Pink & white - 2.5 Muller Greek style yoghurt - 0.5 2 tsp low fat spread - 2 Total = 5 syns

Carbonara made with HEXA parmesan and an egg mixed up with fat free fromage frais :) Added loads of mushrooms for superfree. Nom!!

Honk, 5 syns for me :)

I had a beef salad and a hifi bar :)

Banana and a toffee Muller :)

Ohh that sounds like a good idea, I keep trying to find new ways to use it! Thanks

Yesterday I got treated to dinner by my OH and we went to a fab curry house near us...I worked it all out to be between 50-60 syns but it was a bit of a celebration for some good news we'd had and I got a LOT of food for that :) back on plan today though!

Can't decide :( will probably just have fruit and a yoghurt as I'm not that hungry..........yet.

Yup, ours did too!! :)

Banana and a Muller vanilla yoghurt

I'm actually really thrilled that so many people know what it is!! Loads of people I know are like whaaaat lol. I love it too and it's definitely less cringey than Zumba :)

Oh and also I'd like to see a 10 on the scales which means I need to lose 2 lbs :)

I haven't set a final target yet but a mini target is to get my 2st award which means losing another 2.5lbs!

Honk ;)

No idea what the stir fry one's like...just intrigued!! Oh yeah, gotta love a bit of the white spirit flavour, oh so yummy :/ lol

Had chicken stuffed with HEXA philly light and wrapped in bacon. Served with new potatoes and loads of green beans. Nom nom nom

Had chilli and HEXA cheese again, not even made a dent in the massive pan of it yet!!

Agreed, especially anything containing scan bran, bleh! My mum made the baked chocolate cheesecake from the SW website last night, I bet her a fiver it would taste terrible...guess who won?! ;)

NSV for today was getting into my first ever pair of size 12 skinny jeans. It was a bit of a fluke as they're soft stretchy denim but I don't careeeee ;)

1 tbsp low fat spread - 3 Cadbury light mousse - 3 Tesco chilli chicken noodle salad - 2.5 Total 8.5 :)

Marmite on 2 slices of HEXB WM bread

Tonight was homemade burgers (syn free as used EL mince), in HEXB wholemeal roll, HEXA cheese and a biiig salad. Used the new BBQ frylight on the burger whilst cooking - very nice!!

Thanks, will have to look out for it so I can try your dessert!

Thank you! Actually been looking for a recipe (other than chilli) that uses those new Heinz 5 beans so this is perfect :)
