Am definitely trying this soup out today. I'm sure my 2 girls will love it too.

Am definitely trying this soup next week! Sounds delish.

Off to a Halloween party tonight. Have been asked to bring a dish so made SW chilli con Carne, which is fab as I'll be able to keep on plan.

Mushrooms, tomato, bacon medallions & an egg. Was delish and will definitely keep me going until lunch!

I only use Lurpak lighter which is 4 syns per tablespoon. I know it's not the lightest one or lowest syn wise but I can stand any other spreads so worth splashing out on syns.

Sorry for missing a day or 2 - half term keeps getting in the way! Weigh day and another 1lb bites the dust. I've not been 100% so delighted with that - any loss is a bonus in my eyes! B: none as weigh in day L: grilled salmon, stir fry veg, rice noodles & stir fry sauce made up on 1 tbspn...

I add a few dollops of quark to mine to make it's a bit creamier & cheesier x

It may contain sugar so although no fat it's full of sugar instead :(

It's learning to deal with things that life throws at you. You did fab drinking soft drinks and also minimising the amount of lard used in cooking. I'm still gobsmacked people still use it in this day and age lol. You're doing fab!

Thank you. Am trying to keep my food as varied and tasty as I possibly can, adding the odd dessert in to keep me on track. It's amazing the food you can eat if you just put in a bit of effort and usually it tastes better than takeaway/shop bought.

I know it's ridiculous the food I used to eat - at Burgerking it was always and extra large bacon double cheeseburger with supersized fries and on occasion an extra double cheeseburger on the side. I would also not curb my eating for the rest of the day. No wonder my weight soared over 20...

Am going to make the tuna pasta bake from the latest SW magazine - 2.5 syns if memory serves me rightly. Looks fab, am hoping it tastes as good!

I had lots of salad, baked potato, chicken, ham, 1 tbspn lighter Lurpak (4 syns), 1 tbspn salad cream light (1.5 syns) and 40g light cheddar (HEXA) Very nice it was too.

Aww that's pants when that happens. Just out of interest, what did it taste like?

Sweet chilli chicken drumsticks (1syn), SW coleslaw (am going to try it with just fromage fais to see what it tastes like but may need to add light mayo to so may have 2 syns), h/m potato wedges and salad.

Well after a bit of a disastrous 2 weeks I've decided to post a daily food diary on here. Will try and add some photos too. Breakfast - Banana - weigh day so don't tend to eat until afterwards Lunch - Chicken, superfree veg & rice soup Dinner - Mexican chicken & Rice, salad, ww petit pain...

Bit boring today - chicken, vegetable & rice soup. It is really nice but need to get a bit creative at lunchtimes.

We're having Mexican Chicken & Rice and salad. Looks fabulous in the SW magazine - just hope I can replicate it OK! x

Chicken, vegetable & rice soup. Just what's needed on such a cold day!

Mushrooms, spring onions, tomatoes, egg & lean bacon. Delish!

Silk

I must admit I use normal oil in a sprayer as I just think it's a healthier way & no added chemicals. I don't syn it though as I do use very sparingly.

Witches Brew Stew! Sounds more exciting than it is lol! It's a butternut & minced beef stew with cannellini beans & spinach.

Chicken, vegetable & rice soup. Just what you need on a cold day. Mind you it's more like a stew it's so thick!

Just some mango for me - haven't got much brekkie stuff in - need to go shopping today!

Yes as long as it's lean and there's no added sugar in the ingredients. Enjoy!

Hi there, It's up to 15 syns per day. X

Just 2 syns today for ingredients in SW 5 spice braised pork. Saving a few for wine over the weekend.

I've had both the tefal actifry and the phillips one. The tefal one broke after less than a year, I bought a replacement and that too failed less than a year old. The phillips is more reliable but I did prefer the tefal if only it was more reliable. It's been a few years since I had a tefal...

It makes total sense. And I am certainly enjoying putting SW to the test and seeing results.

Having to smell the delicious food cooking all day and the closer it comes to dinner time the stronger the aromas. Am having to stop myself from going into the kitchen and lifting the lid for a 5 spiced pork facial! Only an hour to go.

A chicken kebab should be much lower as only yogurt and spices on it before griddling - its the donner kebabs which are very high. Maybe have a chicken kebab (meat only) with a large salad instead?

What an amazing achievement - you look fantastic and must feel so much better. A huge well done!

The 1/3 plate of superfree food is very important to ensure you get good consistent loses.

They are so nice. Just reminder me I need to stock up!

Cous cous salads make a nice change or even lentil salads. Just lots of veg either roasted or salad chopped up and mixed through with either FF vinaigrette or lemon/line juice as a dressing. Any type of lean meat or fish/shellfish or feta cheese if you use HEA. I saw a cook on the TV who made...

You are doing incredibly well. Your weight loss is very impressive and you sound really focused. Well done!

I've got SW 5 spice braised pork in the slow cooker at the moment, going to serve that with rice and shitake mushrooms with choi sum. The house is smelling amazing!

An odd one for me today as didn't get organised yesterday. Mango followed by cauliflower & broccoli soup. Weird but very filling!

I had baked potato, left over chilli con carne with lots of superfoods included and salad. Delicious and now nicely full.

Wednesday's Eats:- B: Courgette & Mushroom Omelette L: Baked potato, baked beans, 30g grated cheese (HE), Salad & Salad cream light (1.5 syns) D: Boiled new potatoes, steamed carrots & green beans and grilled fish or some description - need to see what's good at the shop. S: Not sure but...

What a fab idea - hadn't thought of that. Will use yogurt when wanting a creamy finish and coconut extract for everything else. Thanks for the tip!

The thing that gets me is that if she truly didn't have spare money for fruit/veg, she wouldn't have such well stocked (and I mean quantity not quality of product) cupboards. They'd be bare? They fact is she buys all the rubbish foods on multi buy offers. If she planned her menus properly she'd...

Well I'm weighing in a day early as I'm away for a few days so can't do my normal weigh in tomorrow. Lost 3.5lbs!!! I'm absolutely delighted. Have eaten so well this week and never felt hungry. Absolutely love SW. Hope you're all doing OK. :)

Yes you can scoop the seeds out with a spoon. They can be a bit tricky to peel but I either roast it with skin on and eat as it goes soft or use a potato peeler. They're great for bulking out meals or make thick smooth soup. X

Hi there, I just wondered if anyone had used coconut essence/extract instead of coconut milk and if yes, how successful was it? I love coconut milk and use the light stuff all the time, just wanted something syn free for an option. Thanks

Am trying to cut down on the amount of wine I drink at the weekends and also just eat much healthier in general so I am going to try to use my weekly syns to add extras to meals, like oil, avocado, nuts & seeds etc? Just wondered what people spend their syns on mostly.

At the moment its chicken, butternut squash, lentil & spinach curry. Either with boiled rice or SW chips. I make it extra spicy. It's fantastic. However, I think after reading a load of new recipes on here I'm going to have some new favourites! :)

Just some light coconut milk for my Thai green curry with rice tonight. Trying to save a few Syns for some wine!

That sounds delicious - I shall be pinching that idea for lunch tomorrow with some added watercress thrown in as I have some left in the fridge!

I think it was meal replacement diet with shakes instead. I was starving and also really missed chewing! Needless to say I have joined SW and am looking forward to cooking & eating normal food for myself and the family.

Definitely fitting back into my smaller clothes and also having more energy to run around & play with my daughters.

Sorry to hear you gained back the weight - been there & done that too. What weightloss plan are you going to do or does the doctor give you a diet to follow. Hopefully in a year you'll be able to shift a good amount of weight and won't need surgery. Good luck

19st 13lbs & size 24

I must admit that even though I'm only 5lbs lighter than at my heaviest I no longer binge ear like I used to. Don't her me wrong I still have a huge appetite but can't do the quantities. I'm hoping this trend continues & that my portions get smaller too - although I doubt it lol! X

I know jockeys use hot baths & saunas for temporary rapid weightloss but as soon as you drink fluids, the weight goes back on.

Short

I absolutely love your recipes and shall definitely be trying a whole heap of them. Also love the idea of photographing meals - shall be giving that a go and posting them on here, though I doubt they will be to your fabulous standard! Clare x

Mine is the frozen chargrilled Mediterranean mixed vegetables from Sainsbury's. There's no added oil and it makes a really easy dinner. Just bung them in a oven cook bag, add chicken thighs or other meat (or leave out if vegetarian), I add a sliced red onion, couple of garlic cloves, mixed...

I thought about putting £1 for every lb loss and 50p is it's a half lb, then for each 7lbs loss an extra £10. As I've got over 10 Stones to lose, I thought it would be a great target bonus to go on a shopping spree with. I was also thinking of buying a wee something every week I lose, like a...

Thank you all! Looking forward to getting a profile set up. I'm currently 19st 13lbs! Hoping to be a few pounds less on Friday. Only started putting weight on in my 20s - was a size 8-10 before. Now size 24. Stopped smoking, had 2 children and really just stopped caring or looking after...

Just wondering what everyone's best fake away recipe is? I really enjoyed the chicken Katsu curry. It's amazing what you can eat and still lose weight!

Wow - you're doing amazing!

We're having roasted vegetables, feta cheese & puy lentils with a herby lemon dressing. X

I had mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon medallions, dry fried sautéed potatoes & egg. Followed by strawberries.

Homemade pork & beef mine meatballs, tomato sauce, wholemeal pasta, Parmesan & salad. Yum yum - looking forward to it already xx

I need it for a recipe tmrw but seemingly there's a supply problem locally! I was thinking 0% Greek Yogurt. What do you think? X

I'm having some reduced fat peanut butter (2) & 16g of crushed peanuts (4). I think that's it for today, will carry some over for wine tmrw! X

I made SW bang bang chicken noodle salad. It was really really nice. Even my 2 year old & 5 year old loved it. Will be making it again. I did add extra peanuts - which I synned for a bit of extra crunch. Xx

I use 500g ex lean beef mince, grated in 1 onion, add salt, pepper, 1 tbspn dried parsley or mixed herbs (you can use fresh instead), 1 teaspoon of dried mustard powder & crumble in a beef oxo cube. Mix it all up then shape into 4 burgers. They should be tasty! Xx

Morning! Another early start thanks to youngest's inability to sleep past 6 o'clock! Breakfast: strawberries, mushrooms, cherry toms, lean bacon, dry fried sautéed potatoes and egg Lunch: SW Bang bang chicken noodle salad with extra peanuts (6 syns) Dinner: SW meatballs, homemade tomato...

Hi there, I did SW a few years ago and you could have 1 Sainsbury's BGTY mini naan breads as a Healthy Extra B choice. I couldn't find it on the SW website so wondered if it no longer is? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Clare

Joining SW today - am very excited and looking forward to the meeting. I've read loads of comments about the food plan and it looks amazing. I really like cooking (saddo I know) so hopefully it won't be too daunting. Good luck everyone! Clare

Hi there, Well after trying and failing lots of different diets, I'm joining Slimming World today. I've read lots of comments about the foods that you can eat which the whole family can enjoy without having to weigh, count points/calories etc. Sounds excellent. Looking forward to getting to...
