You are totally transformed :-) Well done, what an achievement, can't praise you enough! x

Sorry, i've only just seen this! My last two days have been: Breakfast: Muller light with banana cut into it (I'm not good at having breakfast!) Lunch: Ham and veg omlette (3 eggs) with a large salad (fry light ceasar salad spray) Dinner: SW cottage pie with lots of veg. HeA: 45g...

I just had to SHOUT about how thrilled I was today. I went for a WALK, it may seem completely insignificant to most but it was such a huge achievement for me and i'm feeling on top of the world :D. Almost 3 stone down and i'm already reeping the benefits! I wouldn't have even contemplated doing...

I'm considering asking for one for my birthday, just don't know if i'd use it enough though! Would love to know if people think they are worth it? Other birthday idea was an actifry - just don't know which to ask for!?! x

I need to up the fluids and I don't mean the wine, that definately needs to decline!!! x

SW burgers with paprika wedges and salad - it's smelling soooo goood, 15 mins and counting :-) x

Thats a brilliant loss to have so far into your journey :-) Congratuations on the amazing weight loss to date x

I was shocked when you said 4 cups of tea a day, from your post I thought you were going to say you drank ALOT more! I know loads of people who could quite easily double, if not treble that many cups on a daily basis! haha. If you are not going over your daily allowance of milk then I can't see...

I did think everyone would be championing for fresh but relieved to see that i'm not the only one eating frozen! I do eat ALOT of fresh too but find its far more economical to buy frozen x

Same here, really well done, you must feel so much better :D

Really useful tips here, thank you x

Honk for yesterday - 10.5 syns. 100% again so far today :-) x

I lost 18lbs in my first week and 22.5lbs in the first month but then again I am a "heavy weight" member so to speak! There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how my weight loss goes each week!! It's usually the weeks I think i've done well when I put on or have a smaller weight loss. x

A mid sized microwave so far!! I like losing those guinea pigs on a weekly basis :-) x

Leek and potoato bake from Slimmingeats website (thanks britmumincanada it was gorgeous) with 2x low syn sausages and roasted courgette. YUMMY :-) x

I like a flump :p 1.5 syns and only 10p each!! Great little sugar rush x

I hate seeing the + sign too, you're right it does get you on a downer BUT you know the reason for the gain and it's not your fault so keep at it. I bet you see more -'s than +'s!!! :-) x

2.5lbs off for me this week which I'm very pleased with as I slipped a couple of days. bevhunter1986 = -3.5lbs (3.5lbs to go) cmcdee_115 = -3 (34lb to go) donnzstar = -18.5 (47.5lb to go) ellierose988 = -18lb (26lb to go) Eternalflame - 7.5 (62.5lb to go) Finaltimeforme = 10lb gone (20...

Mini SW quiches, hard boiled eggs, savoury rice, low fat supernoodles and of course all the normal fruit x

Slimming world cottage pie packed full of superfree veg with roasted courgettes on the side, proper comfort food :-) x

I do stay for the meeting and find it beneficial. I really enjoy getting claps and stickers in recognition of my hard work (such a child I know) :D. The one time I couldn't stay and I had put on, I just went away feeling miserable which resulted in me not making the best food choices that...

I'm making an effort to drink more water as I get water retention on night shifts, i've been told to stop this you have to drink more! Wish me luck, its only my 1st day! x

3lbs off for me BUT that was over 2 weeks so a little disappointed but onwards and well downwards!! :D bevhunter1986 = -3.5lbs (3.5lbs to go) cmcdee_115 = -3 (34lb to go) donnzstar = -18.5 (47.5lb to go) ellierose988 = -19lb (25lb to go) Eternalflame - 7.5 (62.5lb to go) Finaltimeforme = 10lb...

I'm a "heavy weight" member and my C told me I could have upto 25 syns a day! I've always stuck to 15 like everyone else, I too can't see how having extra 'naughtiness' will benefit my weight loss plus I'm not sure I could even eat an extra 10 syns on top of everything else we get to eat. I...

My partner is generally very supportive, tonight he had the parmesan crusted chicken out of the SW magazine ready and waiting for me when I got home :-) He tends to save the takeaways for when i'm working night shifts which suits me fine, out of sight, out of mind! I couldn't do it if he were...

Roast chicken, accordian new potatoes, roasted courgette and peppers and 2 stuffing balls (synned them at 4 for the 2). Ohhhh it was scrummy :-)

Wow thats AMAZING, well done you :happy096: I'm missing this weeks meeting due to my shift work (darn work getting in the way :sigh:). I hate missing a week, there is always the risk of slipping off but i'm determined to stay motivated and on plan :). Will report back next week x

I'm 7 weeks into the plan and still write everything down, I think i'd easily 'forget' i'd eaten certain things if I didn't. I know I wouldn't be denied a food diary but I always forget to ask so i've done one on my computer now and print it out every week. I still also hand my diary in to my C...

What a good idea :-) Just searching for the value of stuffing balls for our Sunday roast, do I, don't I? I do love stuffing so may sacrifise 1 syn for 1 ball ;-) I will def be using your tip of putting them in soup or stew though! x

I had the same query but it was pointed out by someone that I hadn't included pasta as my free food when using the syn calculator! X

I reward myself with a nail varnish every time I lose at SW :-) x

To be honest there is such a wealth of information on the Internet (obviously this being the best site of course) that you could easily do it at home if you're committed enough I reakon. The amounts of recipes on here is incredible you needn't buy one cookbook. As for syn values, I bet most have...

On the EE plan you do have to have 1/3 superfree with EVERY meal but I don't think this is the case for red/green day people so it could be the menus you're looking at are for red/green plans. This isn't to say you can't follow them, just tweak it for EE by adding your 1/3 superfree and remember...

I've not even considered buying hifi bars until reading this thread but now im drooling at the thought of them! Think I'll be getting some at my next meeting! What flavours do they do? I agree peanut sounds yummy, fingers crossed it's the new flavour! X

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-off-topic/212695-sw-award-stickers-your-signature.html Fingers crossed this works! X

Hi Andy, firstly congrats on your weightloss to date, you must be feeling the benefits already :-) Secondly, there is a sticky on here somewhere which tells you how to put the SW stickers on your profile, someone has kindly listed them all so you can just cut and paste into your profile. I will...

And worth every one of those 4 syns - I love them but have to be very strong to stick to the 1 packet! I prefer the thai sweet chilli ones! x

Whoo hoo 8lbs off for me today and 2 stone award achieved, not bad for 5 weeks work!!!!! :bliss::bliss::bliss:

Boo hiss! :mad: Clearly was too good to be true! x

This makes sense, never thought of that before! Thanks for the advise ermintrude x

I've just put the nutritional information of the 3 I have in my cupboard through the syns calculator and they are still showing as free so I guess I best make them last! x

I've just read that they have changed the recipe of uncle bens sweet and sour rice times and they are now a whopping 8.5 syns when they used to be free! Gutted cos these were a really quick and easy dinner at work on a night shift :-(

Ohhh how exciting, I love BBQ sauce, will definately be giving this a go soon! Must be tasty if the thread has been going for so long with so many good comments :-)

Thanks juicylucy, definately won't be giving up! When I step back and look at it I can see it is a lot to lose in 1 month but in the grand scheme of things it's only the start! I too would love to help each other. How are you getting on? x

This is really helpful thank you, my consultant hadn't mentioned anything about this so probably wouldn't have found out if it weren't for this forum :D

I really like the sweet and sour rice times, they are so quick and easy to do when I am on a night shift, 1.5 mins in the microwave with some cooked chicken thrown in and a big helping of frozen mixed veg (obviously defrosted haha) - can be made AND eaten in my 20 minute break! X

Thanks for that Patchwork Puss, I did do a search I promise and it didn't come up with anything, perhaps cos I'm using my phone?? Anyhoo, think I'll be staying away from avocado with that syn value!! Thanks again x

I've only just seen this thread but I too started in January so am now a good 4 weeks into the plan and quite enjoying it! I'd love to be part of your January gang please :-) Well firstly I better say I've got ALOT of weight to lose so not really thinking about long term goals (apart from...

I've tried searching the forum, the SW website and all my books to find the syn value of an avocado!?! Does anyone know? I'm guessing it's not free? Thanks x

Very useful thread, thank you x

You're right, I hadn't - thanks ermitrude! :silly::sign0007: x

Hello to all Hi everyone, my names Karen, i'm 30 and live in Essex with my fiance. I do have a huge amount of weight to lose :sigh: but also have a huge reason to lose it - we want to start a family. I need/want to lose enough to have a healthy pregnancy (and baby) then be fit enough to run...

I'm so confused! :confused: Just been to Morrisons and tried to stock up on Batchelors pasta n sauce BUT they only had the tomato based one which i'm not keen on so I chose the Morrisons Eat Smart chicken, garlic and wine flavour pasta & sauce thinking it would be around the same syn value as...

What a great idea, i hadn't thought about making an omlette the night before but will be doing this now :-) x
