Often the SW magazine has offers in it. Not sure where mine is I'll have a look later.

Thank you. What a lovely statement Anna. I wouldn't want to take anything away from those with excellent willpower who can stick to the diet as I am full of admiration for them. However it's good to know there's a place for us on the scenic route too.

Sounds like there are some good consultants out there. I know I could lose quicker, but I'm a comfort eater and sometimes life gets in the way, but the way I see it small amounts coming off are better than any amount going on.

Thank you everyone, that's good to know. x

That is a concern of mine. I'm not sure it will be for me if it's lots of clapping in a circle. What was Image Therapy like?

That's the thing Anna, I'm not very consistent, I might not be able to go some weeks, I definitely don't lose every week but will pay! Online you pay in block anyway. I guess I'll probably only find out if I pop in and see. Thanks Anna

I've followed SW on and off for years now both on my own and online, I'm curious about group and if it is something I'll get on with. I also want to try the hi-fi bars which for some reason you can't get anywhere else. But your right if it doesn't suit I don't have to stay as there is a lot of...

Thank you I'll try and visit a group next week to check it out. :)

Thank you for the replies, I know it's a business so was worried the consultants might have targets to meet. Glad to hear it's more person-centred. :)

I'm currently a SW online member but thinking of joining a group for more support. For those of you that have been to group, how do the leaders treat slow losses, do they have targets to meet and put pressure on you? I am taking the scenic route and much prefer it to the mad dash down the...

I bought a weighted hula hoop and hula in front of the tv. I'm another who dislikes exercise but find this fun and have lost 2 1/2 inches round my waist. OH owns a gym, and I so wish I could love exercise the way he does.

If there is a Subway near by they do a salad and drink for £3. :)

Hi I had to go for an endoscopy and was really worried as I gag even swallowing tablets. I really needn't have worried. Even though I'd planned to have sedation it wasn't advised as I had a reaction to sleeping tablets once. So I had to just have it done. The nurses were wonderful and it was...

Congratulations on your weight loss. I can definitely see it from your point of view. You've lost 100lb so you would want the certificate the same as if you've lost with SW. The certificates do seem to motivate a lot of people, I'm online so don't get them. Maybe you could do something yourself...

I had them once before with a fruit box and have never been able to find them since. I agree they are amazing.x

They've put an article up with portion sizes today. Should YOU be eating 7-a-day? | Mail Online

None of the bread at Subway has enough fibre to be used as a HEB, although I have used my HEB in the past if I've not had enough syns but I know it's not to plan. Salads in Subway are great though.

I'd like to see a better deal for online members, we pay the same so it would be good to get the same deal as class members including access to hi-fi bars. With regards to contacting them. I'd recommend Facebook as they are the same team and they reply within a few hours.

Give them a ring, they are really helpful and will let you know.

Same here, didn't like it waste of money.

There are a few recipes in Woman magazine this week and they look really good. :)

Woman magazine dated 31march2014 97p contains a voucher p70 for free membership to group. Plus fakeaway recipes over 2 double pages.

I was reading the book because I was looking at raising my serotonin levels and had no idea about the link with cravings until I read it.

I had wholemeal toast yesterday for breakfast and shredded wheat with a mixture of milk and water this morning. Wholegrain tomato pasta or soup for lunch and a dinner of meat with potatoes and veg yesterday and meat veg and wholegrain pasta today. The reason the book gave is that the uptake of...

This was why I found it so interesting, as I've always struggled with cravings, and felt like a really weak person. After all other people can lose stones! It's early days yet, but I've noticed a difference already. :) Here is a link to an interesting article ...

I have been looking at ways to raise my Serotonin levels and have been reading quite a good book on my kindle. Part of the book covered low fat diets and cravings. Apparently women are likely to have lower serotonin levels and it advises that people who are prone to depression or have low...

You get an online sticker, no certificates and you aren't able to buy the bars, but there is a book shop. Online is a bit poor compared to what you seem to be able to get in group considering it's the same cost. However I can't get to group so online has been useful for me. :)

If you can get the Daily Mirror today, and tomorrow there are details of the plan with some recipes that may help.

I've found the e-mail system really slow, however if you are on Facebook, it's the same people and if you private message them you get a reply back in a couple of hours..

Only a few left now! OH runs a martial arts gym and took a few down there and I've made the banana ice cream which is definitely a keeper. We're now down from 64 to 4 and not a single one wasted! :)

They have them available on line but for some reason it says I have already bought one so not sure if you can actually buy one yet.

I'm an online member so not matter what happens I'm always SOTW in my house ! lol I will try freezing though when they are a bit riper.

Thank you, freezing is a good idea and I'd never of thought of adding them to a curry.x

I've just had the shopping delivered and realised I've ordered 8 bags of bananas instead of 8 bananas, They are all quite green so should last a bit. Can anyone help suggest best ways to store so many to make them last? Best SW ways to use them? I know there free but is eating lots of bananas a...

Grilled chicken and bacon salad is very low or kids chicken nuggets with fruit bag. Not quite the same as a burger, but it's something. :)

How much is it in the magazine? Currys have it for £44.99 at the moment.

I've only just re-started again and I read that it's good to have something visual to help stop the temptations. I've printed a picture of me at my current size and it helps for me to look at the picture to remind me why I'm eating healthier. It has helped but it's still early days.

I was going to suggest anti-sickness. I've used Motilium in the past and you can get them over the counter or on prescription. Just check with your GP first.

Good Luck:)

Have a look online under useful features, search for "secrets of your store cupboard" and "food optimise your food cupboard" for some ideas.

Thank you. That's what I was worried about. Might just stick with my monthly payments. :)

Thank you, I'd appreciate it, it's quite a lot of money to pay 3 months in a go. :)

Has anyone seen the recent new booklet yet. I normally pay monthly online and I'm wondering if it's worth buying 3 months to get the free booklet. I just wondered if it's any good and what the discount vouchers are for. Thanks

I'm the same hubby just gave me a huge box of my favourite chocs. I've managed to syn the ones I've had so far but we are only at lunchtime!

I'm doing this too! Doesn't help hubby has bought me a large box of my favourite chocolates today. I've had 2 so far but they have been synned. :)

Try googling it, I can't remember what it said but I checked it when it first came out and Truvia is not all natural. I also tried somes and didn't like the after taste. I tend to use Perfect Sweet/Total Sweet when I want a sweetner 1/2 syn per tsp and Xylitol is a natural substitute.

Do you know the calories as there won't be any free food in it so likely to be 1 syn for 20 calories.

I really enjoy online, I find it helps keep me going, but I do use the diary, body challenge, recipes and syn finders. However I can't imagine it can replace a good group, so it depends on what support you need. You can buy books online but not hifi bars. If you decide to join there is a...

Yes you have access to the book shop which has a variety of books including the food directory.

Not sure about this but I did hear that calcium can aid weight loss so may be an essential.

I compromise and use Xylitol, I buy it as Total Sweet from Holland and Barrett and it's about 1/2 the syns of sugar. It doesn't have an after taste and is actually meant to be good for you!

Sounds similar I use 3 eggs, 1/3 cup sweetner, 28g cocoa and 1tsp vanilla. Use the same method but make 6-7 muffins so no filling. Great for a cake day and tastes like cake!lol

I wonder if it's the same chocolate one that I make (eggs, cocoa, sweetner, vanilla off the top of my head). I use silicon muffin trays to make indiviual ones.

I made this once and not sure if I did it right but it tasted like a sweet omelette so had to throw it away. Be interesting to see what others think.

The first week on SW I stayed the same. But I knew that it was because the week before I started I had eaten a lot of calories and had I not done SW I know I would have gained. Keep going and hopefully the losses will kick in soon.

Pm'd back let me know if you don't get it.:)

There is a discount code available at the moment if you are joining online it saves you £35, it was in todays Mirror. ADMIN can I post the link and code?

Just restarting and I'm using all 15 a day to help with the cravings.

Thank you. :)

Which Linda McCartney sausages are free please? I've got an old book and it gives the value of 2 syns each. Thank you.

I think this is my problem. I am a full time carer to a teenage son with autism and I mean full time, he's not with me for only 3 hours max a week, I also have a teenage daughter and we run a relatively new business which means there are no classes I can get to. In my situation it's so easy to...

Another watcher I'm afraid! I've done it before but it's the stopping the cravings that's the most difficult thing for me. The meals are no problem, it's the snacking.

Red and Green plans will suit you more if you are not keen on fruit and veg, as there is no set amount of either.

I do this for my daughter as it makes it too small once cooked for her to pick it out!lol I find carrots and courgettes grate well.

I wonder if they make you commit to 3 months because after you join a lot of the sheets are downloadable so expect a lot of people would only sign up for a month to get the information and buy the books from the store. If I can afford it I like to sign up for online but when money's tight (at...

I've never been a big veg eater but I find adding them to stews or grate veg into sauces, disguises the taste. Maybe you could try this. :)

It is very expensive there are often offers around which brings the price down to £45 (I think) After the initial 3 months you can oay monthly.

I've mixed Quark with chocolate philadelphia before and that's lovely.

I'd be quite interested in this too as I've just ordered some Tofu to try.

I found I had a lot of waste of fresh food on a weekly shop and then not a lot that inspired me at the end of the week. I shop with Tesco so signed up for their saver delivery where you can have as many deliveries you want as long as you spend over £40. Now, instead of a weekly shop, I have a...

i was only in there the other day buying their Manuka honey, I'll look out for the cereal bars next time.:)

Black Forest cake just cooling, looks fantastic, can't wait to try it. Thank you :) Now made, didn't have cherries so used a little jam and cream. The best SW cake I've tasted. Doesn't even need imagination to taste like real cake! lol. This will definatly be on my future pudding list. :thankyou:

Sorry, I've just seen your reply. We've all been ill this week so unfortunatly SW has not been top of my list! He actually loves the Harvester, but we don't have one local. Also it's almost everyday we are eating out with him as it is in preparation for college when he will hopefully eat with...

Thank you:)

The problem has been we have been getting our son used to eating out in public. He likes familiar places so invariably it's a chain.We often end up in a fast food restaurant but he does also like Subway so that helps. The problem is if you're trying to watch the cost as well, sometimes the...

Thank you.:)

Thank you. Meal times are ok, it's the cravings particularly on a stressful day or eating out that's difficult. Also I have my son needs someone with him all the time at the moment, so it's not easy to just do what I want. I think I just realised that I shouldn't beat myself up when it's taking...

I joined SW a couple of months ago for the second time and in the beginning lost half a stone. But then life happened and I haven't lost any more and was thinking of stopping. Yesterday I had a conversation with my son's new college. He has autism and attending college is a massive step for him...

Well I don't know what to suggest. The only thing I can think of is to contact them for advice. When I started exercising I lost inches but maintained/gained pounds, but I was new to it. Do you know how high your BMI is? I've heard it's harder as people get closer to their right BMI, but having...

Have you recently upped your exercise, or have you always done this amount? It may be worth taking measurements as well.

If I stick to the plan 100% it works for me. It's just the sticking to it 100% I struggle with sometimes. If I haven't lost I always know the reason.

I went for Bronze because, I already have a magazine subscription, but otherwise the silver is great because it's only £5 more and you get a years subscription to SW magazine. Also use the discount code on here and you get quite a saving. The initial subscription varies with gold/silver/bronze...

I agree, that's what pushes up Ebay prices. However I think I'd still be an online member, as I'm not very good completely on my own. I even feel pressure of the weigh in online, how mad is that. It's just me that knows! lol

There is a book shop online where you can buy all the books. You cannot buy the hifi bars though.:)

Just found one of the links: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/289116-does-anyone-do-slimming-world-online.html and here's the one on discounts: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/288675-online-discount-code.html

I do online and really like it. There is a recent thread on here where someone else asked the same. It might be worth finding that one. There is also a thread on discounts for online memberships to bring the cost down. I found the silver was only £5 more and you got the magazine for a year, so a...

This thread makes me realise how disorganised I am. My motivation on SW online said to concentrate on free foods more. I'm a big snacker and realise I need to have some prepared food ready for those quick snacks. Thanks for the suggestions.:)

I had faults when I first used SWonline. I needed to clear all the cookies and then it was fine.

Don't do what I did. I reached my first half stone and thought I'd give myself the day off SW.......of course it got completely out of control and has taken me the last 2 days to start getting back on track. I think I'll do non-food rewards from now on!:)

I heard somewhere that's it's a good idea to write everything down for the first few weeks/months until you feel you've got into it, then to stop noting everything down so it's more like real life. I've been filling in my online diary even on the bad days and it's really helped my weightloss...

I use SW online and really like it. I find it really useful for syns and recipes and the diary is handy too. There is not a convenient group nearby and the online service is there 24/7. You can also buy the books from the store if you need them. This is the second time I've signed up and use it...

You need to join on the day you wish to be your weigh in day. If you haven't already joined Bella magazine have a code for an extra £15 off. The code is BELLA712 and is valid until 7/8/2012. I'm a former online member and thinking of rejoining.

Thank you, it was good while it lasted. 100g of the Easiyo ice cream made up is much smaller than 100g of powder then made up. But I'd rather get it right and there is a huge difference.

Thank you, this has always confused me.

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. If an item in the food directory says "100g made up according to the packet" am I measuring the product before or after making it up? I am trying to work out the Easiyo ice cream. Thank you.

Scenic route! I think I'm on a round the world tour! Over the last couple of years we've moved house, started a new business and I'm a full time carer to my son with autism. Every time I seem to get back on track, stress happens and I crave all the things I shouldn't and don't have the energy to...

I wonder this as well. Apparently the 1/3 superfree is supposed to restrict the amount of free food you eat, so is meant to be eaten at the same time. But I had a scrambled egg this morning with an apple after. I've just gone back to SW and starting on EE for the first time, so I suppose it's...

Enjoy your party.:)

I think it varies between people, some people seem to be able to eat as many as they want and others have said it affects them. I have also heard people say the same about grapes, but grapes don't affect my weight loss. I guess it's trial and error.

Just a thought, but although bananas are free on SW I found even 1 a day affected my weight loss and I notice you have 2.

Thanks Shirleen. The iron supplement I've got at the moment you drink with orange juice and she eats quite a lot of fruit and dairy so I'm not quite so worried about those.

Thank you Ermintrude, I never knew that!

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look in Asda for them. I bought some Spatone today but a specific multi vitamin sounds great.

Just curious as my teenage daughter has decided to become vegetarian, she doesn't like a lot of iron rich foods and as she has been getting quite lethargic I decided to get her an iron supplement. This got me to thinking how many vegetarian green days I do and wondered if I should be taking a...

I couldn't join a group either. I've done SW successfully at home but put the weight back on and have gone for SW online. The parts I enjoy the most are: Online diary to try and keep on track Syns online and HE online so it's easy and quick to access info. Body challenges. I've completed a few...

I did this I never used to measure milk thinking well I only had a drop in tea, but when I measured it I found I used a lot more than I had guessed, it's easily done.

Strangely enough Paul, I did just that. I have a son with Asperger's syndrome and school was doing a lot of damage. I took him out of school to teach him when he was 10, he's now 17 and about to start college and was signed off by the county council with a glowing report. Don't under estimate...

I think you must all be right it's down to the satisfaction level. I had some yogurt last night and it was much more filling than if I'd had milk. Thank you everyone, it's been bugging me for ages.

Sorry Paul, not quite sure who or what this is aimed at?

Thanks for the replies. I've been following SW long enough now to know you shouldn't question SW it just works, but I'm afraid that's not in my nature, too nosy you see. I've just been making yogurt and noticed the skimmed milk I was using was labelled fat free, so I still don't get it, maybe...

I've always been confused by this. As yogurt is made from milk does anyone know why we have a strict allowance for milk but can have as much syn free yogurt as we like?:confused:

:) Thank you, I must have missed the NSV thread I'll take a look. I was wondering if it was worth continuing online because of this, but I do get quite a lot from it so I may just combine it with the NSV thread. :)

I understand that SW promotes weight loss but they do also encourage exercise. My point is that when you put your weight in online if you have maintained or gone up in weight, it doesn't then ask if you've exercised or lost inches it just offers advice for staying on plan. Which can be quite...

But that's not always the case, I've heard of lots of people who find they maintain and even put on weight when they exercise even if they stick to the plan rigidly!

As an online member I put my weight loss in once a week and I get a response back depending on if I've lost, gained or maintained. I've really got into exercise this time but am finding it affects my weight loss but I lose inches. I can stick to plan and exercise regularly and even though I've...

Congratulations that's an amazing achievement. :)

I find a large mug of options is a great chocolate comfort drink and if I have the syns a squirt of low fat squirty cream.

Thanks for the pictures, they look great. I haven't had these for ages might make somne soon.

I've been wondering if scan bran sped up weight loss, made scan bran chocolate muffins today, and they were really nice, very filling. As it uses quite a lot of eggs and syns I was looking for different ideas and found this thread. Tomorrow I think I'll try them as porridge or with phili.

Me, I'm an online member so don't get weighed at a class but I just can't help jumping on the scales! I am now however in a forced exile as hubby needs the scales for the martial arts gym he runs. I am hoping for them back very soon.

You're welcome, check out the body magic challenges, so far I've walked Central Park, crossed the Channel, finished the London marathon and I'm now half way round the Inca trail! lol

I've never been to group, but really enjoy being an online member. I've put a discount code on here if you decide to join online.

Best diet special magazine £1.99 Visit www.slimmingworld.com/best use discount code best2012 for £15.00 discount on top of the current discount of first month free.

Thank you, that's a great site, i do a lot pf walking and always find it difficult to work out how far I've walked. :)

I was going to have a steak until I looked in the SW book and the syns and fat level are really high. I did think about the blackened tuna, but wasn't sure if it was spicy. Have you tried it before?

I'm glad I don't go to your group, I don't lose weight easily and if I lost 4lb in a week I'd think my scales were broken! I would find it really disheartening and feel I'd failed if I lost my usual 1/2 - 1lb although in reality I am chuffed to bits. 4lb seems a bit unfair to me.

I was wondering this too as thinking of swapping to all green days for a week to try as my weight loss has been really slow and I feel a bit bloated on red days.

I really like the actifry food, I do use a small amount of oil though instead of the fry light as I think they taste nicer. If I'm doing chips or roast potatoes for me, hubby and two teenagers I use 1tbsp of olive oil and syn my portion. One of my teenagers are particularly fussy and he likes them.

Me too, I had some fatty food yesterday and felt bloated and uncomfortable most of the afternoon.

Thank you, love your post. Don't worry I don't feel guilty as I always think lifes too short for that, and my daughter's birthday was way more important. There will be lots of superfree and water over the next few days as I've just read about the 777 plan on another thread and thought I might...

I had a warm bacon and chicken salad previously at the Hungry Horse then was shocked at how high in fat it was when I checked the nutrition, you wonder how some of these places cook things.

I hadn't thought about using Ryvita, which ones do you use?

Thank you we went to the Hungry Horse because we had the Tesco vouchers that paid for it. I hadn't heard of the superfood salad have to look out for that one. My son really likes Subway and I had a chicken salad in there the other day and it was lovely.

Thanks for the reply, I had gone out thinking I would just eat what I fancied, I don't do guilt over food because I think life's too short, but I can't believe how bloated I feel after which is a shame as it has taken some of the pleasure away from a otherwise lovely day.

Thanks for this, never heard of it before, I'm going to give it a go.

It's worth trying to find a substitute for the foods that you crave, if you like scan bran cake that can be quite filling. Also try not to let yourself get too hungry as this can trigger a binge. Mug shots and options are quite quick and easy. Good Luck.

We went to the Hungry Horse for lunch to celebrate my daughters birthday, after looking at there nutrition I had decided the things I would definatly avoid, but to be honest there wasn't much SW friendly on the menu. We shared a platter for starter and then had scampi and chips but left at least...

If it's quite easy I would take the fat off before to stop it absorbing the fat during cooking. But I don't with roast chisken as it's too much effort.

Find this quite rich so I mixed half quantities choc phili with phili light and it gives it more of a cheesecake taste. More for less syns.

Thank you, I'll have a look today.

I've also had slow losses (5lb in 6 weeks) but my clothes are getting much loser, so maybe try taking measurements as well as weighing. Good luck.

I found it easier to allow myself a gradual start of a week before following the plan properly. During that week I increased my SW food including meals and this naturally reduced my cravings.

I'm not so tempted by cakes and biscuits but I think I'll always have a love of chocolate, but that's one thing I love about SW it's not banned.

It depends which recipe you are using and how much cocoa and nutella. Also are you using scan bran as a heb?

Good Luck. hopefully you'll have a nice surprise.

I didn't have the ingredients for this so used the Alpen as a base with choc philadelphia on top and it was so tasty.

They look yummy, what are they and how did you make them?

I've been finding it really frustrating as I follow the plan have included 5 lots of exercise a week and although my clothes are getting loser, the scales aren't moving. I'm trying to concentrate on the inches and not the weight, but I can understand how frustrating it is.

I make a chocolate scan bran cake. I quite like it but although it looks like chocolate cake it doesn't really taste like it. It's probably best to consider it a SW snack/dessert rather than cake. Some people love it and some hate it. I quite enjoy it and find it very filling.

I don't go to classes so don't have access to hi-fi bars but I do find fibre plus bars really chocolatey and a good alternative to a chocolate bar....although not quite the same as a mars bar lol

a lot of us have been there, if you can afford it the classes or joining on line can help. I follow it online as I couldn't make the classes and it's definatly helped me. It also doesn't help when you're the only one following an eating plan, especially with eating out. Also don't forget you can...

Morrisons eat smart 60% less fat pork sausages are only 1/2 syn and they are lovely, really meaty.

I never thought of trying this. Might be worth a go.

I've never heard of these, I'll have to try them thanks.

I'd forgotten about these, I used to have these all the time.

Quorn sausages now need to be synned.

Never had that problem on red, but do find I eat a lot more salad, veg on red so maybe that has something to do with it.

That's a great attitude to have, and well done on the weight loss, that's an amazing amount.

I use up to 15 daily. Tempted to try weekly, but not sure if I'm disciplined enough if I run out.

I love my actifry, I use both fry light and olive oil depending on how many syns I have left. The family much prefer roast potatoes and chips made with real oil. Usually I only use a couple of tsps but even a tblsp is not a lot of syns when making 4 large portions.

I'm an online member and I'm really enjoying using the website for inspiration and love the body challenges. My weightloss has been slow over the first month so I'm now switching to the red and green days as I have lost more previously. One thing I have noticed is I'm not so active during the...

If you have access to a cooker at lunch you can have a stirfry if not salad or sw quiche.

Me I've lost 4.5lbs over 4 weeks, but I've switched to red and green plan as I've lost more on these previously.

I craved chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc definatly the sweet things for me. I'm also the type of person that wants it more if you can't have it! lol The first week I didn't stop myself eating anything I craved but made sure I added more fruit, veg syn free yoghurt and sw meals to my diet. The...

I spent a good 2 months trying to stick to SW plan but kept getting cravings which made me go off plan. Then i read an article in a magazine that said to stop cravings instead of taking away foods, add foods. For the next 2 weeks I added lots of SW foods but still ate what I wanted. Gradually SW...

Well done on the 2lb loss.

I love the fibre plus bars, just wish you could have 2 like the Alpen light. The fibre plus is great to satisfy a chocolate craving.

I tried this the other day, it's delicious. I could only find the regular size tub, so I'm trying not to eat it all at once!

Ha ha you got me all excited then!

I've been quite enlightened by this thread. I started online 3 weeks ago, had a 31/2lb loss, 1/2lb gain and then 1 1/2 lb loss. I thought it would be greater than this as I was doing a lot of exercise on a treadmill. However I've also been surprised that a 4 1/2lb loss has made my clothes feel...

There are lots of scan bran recipes that are lower syns, but this is my favourite as I'm a chocoholic. You also don't need to spread on the melted chocolate but I feel it tastes much nicer. It's worth checking out some of the others. I quite enjoyed scan bran carrot cake also and that's quite...

I make a chocolate scan bran cake with options and I love it. Never heard of just mashed scan bran and options only to make it biscuity, will have to try this but run out of scan bran at the moment. I'm not sure I could eat them for 5 days in a row though! Let us know how it goes Joanne.

I quite like chocolate scan bran cake . I mash 6 scan brans (6 syns) in boiling water (just a small amount) whisk in 3 eggs, 32g Options chocolate brownie powder (6 syns) 1tsp vanilla essence, 1tsp baking powder and a dash of salt. bake in oven 180 c for 20-25 minutes depending on dish size...

Hi Rach1987, you say you used up all your syns in one go at the weekend. Is it possible something you ate made you feel bloated? It could be the sudden addition of syn foods to your diet. Hopefully it's just a blip.

I find I lose more when I eat a lot but that includes a lot of superfree foods as I try to have 1/3rd even with snacks.

When I first started SW years ago having foods to eat other than salads and veg was the biggest appeal to me and I mainly did red/green days. Recently my tastes seem to have changed and I'm enjoying Extra Easy. I was only joking the other day that my mother would not believe me sitting by choice...

I never realised you could do your syns weekly, what a good idea.

Over the years I've found ways to sneak in more salad and veg into my diet. I'll have pasta and sauce on a bed of raw spinach as I don't think you can taste it much and I have a low calorie mayo mix with salad and beetroot (not in vinegar) I'll also grate veg to mix in cooked food. Slowly my...

Hello, started 11/1/2012 online after failing to follow the plan properly myself at home. I'm really enjoying it at the moment but finding the biggest challenge eating out. Looking forward to posting.:talk017:
