Am going to try this today - have been looking for a low syn recipe to use up some bananas and came across this one. I notice this was posted nearly a year ago - are you still doing slimming world or have you reached your goal now? x

So how many syns do you give this? I would like to try it x

Well done all! 3lb off for me too , which is a first! got my club 10 - woo hooOOO! good luck next week x

haven't been on here for a while as forgot password (!) - things have gone to pot a bit lately and have an unhealthy weekend coming up... my daughter's confirmation and a 50th birthday celebration on Sun. Am looking forward to it but only have a little 1lb to lose to get to 10% and it seems to...

that's a shame! is there an up to date source list for Healthy Extras or is it just the book that you get when you join? I have often seen people putting things as their HE and then counting any 'extra' syns. How do they know how many syns are allowed for HEs iykwim?

Can anyone help me out with HEb choices and syns? I would like to have a hot cross bun for breakfast but know it's probably lots of syns. Could I deduct some and put it towards my HEb choice??

hi all, am 10.12 1/2 atm. Lost 1 stone last week and then put 1lb back on due to birthday, mother's day etc. Would love to get below 10 for my holiday in July - reckon I can do it??

Ingredients for 'peanut heaven' : Glucose Syrup, Oats, Oligofructose syrup, crisped rice, rice flour, sugar, skimmed milk powder, Dextrose, Malted Wheat flour, salt, rapeseed oil, emulsifier (soya Lecithin), Peanuts (11%), Sweetened condensed skimmed milk, humectant (vegetable Glycerol)...

Your recipes are lovely - do you make them up yourself or follow a book?

Finally made it into the 10s although could well be back up to 11 this week as it's my birthday. Ate as much as I liked yesterday (inc treacle pud and custard and wine!!) but I guess one day won't do all my hard work??

had about 2 syns worth in my porridge this morning with 1/2 a banana ... mmm!

Can anyone advise how much a raisin and oatmeal cookie might be - I think it's from sainsburys. I've looked online but can't find anything similar! Was on playground duty at school today and despite having a banana with me, someone offered me one of these and I couldn't say 'no'! Am afraid I...

maintained this week and stuck at 11stone!! however my scales at home say 10st 13.5 so I must be near ...

don't worry, tomorrow is a new day! you have to let your hair down once in a while xxx

yum - I love malted milks!

6 STONE??? That is amazing! Congratulations xx weighed myself this morning and was delighted to see 10st 13.5! First time in a good few years I've seen a 10 - there's light at the end of the tunnel. However, can't update my ticker which is really annoying :(

I don't think anyone would agree that saving your points up is a good idea on a regular weekly basis but it's healthy to be a bit flexible and saving them once in a while for special occasions is fine in my book xx

that's what our consultant says but I guess it's up to the individual x

poor you natty, how much have you lost all together and how long have you been on the diet? Have you decided on a wedding dress? I guess your motivation could be imagining yourself looking beautiful in your dress...

As I understand it , it works out that you are allowed 105 syns per week, so if you know you are going out at the weekend you can save them up for that xx

Hi and welcome Missychick - my weigh in is on Wednesday too - I started the diet on 2.1.12 and have lost about 11lbs so far - it works really well for me and I'm finding it quite easy really. I'm having to spend more time in the kitchen though (and in the supermarket - seem to be in there every...

I bought some today - does anyone know if I could use it as a HEA choice? or maybe, as I haven't had my A choice today if I could have it and count less syns iykwim? xx

mmm not sure about hot yogurt though, is it nice?!:confused:

wow you're doing really well! I'm Gemma, see you around xx

snap me too Gem - I've just had one for my pudding - they're much nicer than the slimming world bars. the only problem is keeping the rest of the family away from them! xx

Brilliant - well done!! I had a bad week and maintained - at least I didn't put any on. However I'm still 11.2 - have made my target 2.5lbs this week to get me into the 10's... watch this space! Have a good week everyone!|

good luck! my WI is tomorrow as well but I've had a bad day today - we had Greek day at school (I'm a TA) and I couldn't resist the Baklava - then because I felt I'd failed I ate a couple of biscuits :(

too true! although my trousers do feel tighter this evening!! I think I may try to save all my syns tomorrow and treat myself to a kitkat or some other bar of chocolate though. I can quite happily go without bread and wine but not the sweets! xx

well done - I've been doing the plan since January - took courage to go to the first meeting but I'm really glad I took the plunge and am finding it fairly easy - except this week has been half term and I've been off work (work in a school) so have been around food much more - Weigh in on...

good luck! my WI is on Wednesday - hit the liquorice allsorts a bit hard this week so won't be surprised if I've put on! been half term here too so not a good week - will post when I find out how I got onxx

Hi there - it's great to see someone else's diary and get inspiration! I've been really bad today - well I bought some liquorice allsorts yesterday and have eaten about 12 syns worth today! I know they're still in my allowance but I can't get my head around the fact that I can still lose weight !!

Hi kerry, I walk to work and back, try and walk the dog as much as poss and go on the wii fit - that's all! used to belong to a gym and do yoga but they fizzled out - don't have time to do anything else!

Hi Caramia I started in January and have lost about 10lbs - enjoying wearing clothes that were too tight before. Good luck and look forward to seeing you around x

How much water though? Last time I used Scan Bran I made the mixture too wet as it didn't specify! (still ate the 'sweets' though - Ferrero Rocher!)

oops sorry - am still fairly new to this and didn't realise you were on Slim and Save and I was in the wrong area ! :oxx

ooops I really didn't realise that chewing gum had syns! maybe you could try tictacs? I think 12 = 1syn xx

Hi all am 11.2 at the moment and will be thrilled to get down into the 10's again - already able to get into clothes which were too small which is a lovely feeling xxx

Thankyou for all your help! Got dh to do it in the end - he doesn't know what he did but it seems to be working! By the way my dd is 21 in July as well - are you doing anything special? xx

Thanks for this - have just bought some chicken mugshots and wasn't sure of syn value - can now tuck in guilt free xx

There are two choices once you've created the ticker - one is a BB code and the other is HTML - do you know which one you copy? I've tried to do it again and copied the HTML one and then tried to paste it as a hyperlink - about to see if it's worked! NO IT DIDN'T!!

Thanks - I'll check it and have another go!!

yes I have to have my choc as well - Curly Wurly's are a favourite! yesterday I made some Ferrero Rocher sweets (Nutella, golden syrup and scan bran) which taste lovely. I'm eating a lot healthier foods since on the diet though - my 13 yo daughter has noticed how much better my cooking and...

Hiya! am very impressed with all your photos - especially as I'm a technophobe - you're doing really well! x

wow that's amazing! well done. Do you still stay to group? x

well done, sounds good! how much have you lost since you started? xx

Thanks Emmaline, but do you click on your ticker within a post and is it right or left click? nothing seems to happen when I click on mine although when I click on other peoples it takes me to ticker factory! In the end I just created a new one but don't want to do this every time I weigh in xx

well done for taking the first step and joining up :) I'm fairly new myself and am still learning my way around. Good luck! xx

Hi everyone, am fairly new on the site and wondered if someone could help me! Firstly if I comment on a thread, I can never find it again as there are so many threads- is there some way to search or link back to things you have already read/commented on? secondly, have managed (don't know...

Hi Kate, I ate more syns than I should've this week and thought I would have lost nothing. Miraculously I still managed to lose 2.5lb. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this weight loss lark. If you've had a bad week go easy on yourself - the results may not be as bad as you think...

Hi our lady has a hand-held thingy too, and goes around the group having a chat with everyone. She asks them if they're happy with their week's progress, what they could have done differently etc and then records how much there target is for the week. She also has a table on which she puts low...

well done, sounds like you're doing really well! xx

Thankyou! so I guess I could call it 2 syns for 3 tbsps as a tbsp is about 20ml xx

Hello, thankyou for reading! the nutrituional information is as follows: per 100ml - calories: 94, total fat: trace, cholesterol: trace, carbohydrates: 24, fibre: 4.1, sugar: 16, proteins: 2.6. Is this enough information? how do you work it out? I had about 3 tbsp last night and am...

Hi all, am new on here and still getting to grips with it. Have just discovered Yog 'Fat free' frozen yogurt. Is it as free as it sounds? does anyone know how many syns it has?
