I want to see your favourite book

Bought a tomato and onion, and a cheese and broccoli pasta n sauce from lidl the brand says Newgate. Does anyone know how many syns these are?

Thanx that makes sense about the canning/cooking process. I'm so lazy just order everything from tesco really should shop around. Anyone know what links fruit is like as I keep meaning to try my local one. Also what fruit do u eat as I need some more variety

How bad is tinned fruit in juice? I know it's synned but I don't really get why it's so expensive to keep buying lots of different fresh fruit and would be much easier to buy tinned, but don't want to waste syns

My fave Indian meal is chicken dhansak can't remember syns but think it's around 6 ish. I think it's a medium hot dish though, not sure if that's too hot

I found the pain bareable but gave up as never had nice smooth legs like if promises, they looked ok but always felt prickly and strangely made my legs itch.

I all I did sw for 18 months before and it was fab but fell of the wagon big time end if last year and struggled to get back on. I have started exante in the hope of kicking starting my weight loss/motivation again, I have 2 weeks left of exante products left then I would like to go back to...

I have almost completed my first week on exante and so far so good, however today my throat is so sore and my jaw aches. Is this caused by ketosis/the diet or just coincidence. It's weird as it's almost the roof of my mouth that hurts rarther than my actual throat

Honk :-)

Thanx for all the replies so many different options and all sound fab

Thank you Hun can't wait to get started hoping my pack will turn up today

Thank you that's really helpful and thanx for the heads up on peppers, I never realised these were high in carbs and I love then so would of eaten lots without realising

What excersize equipment do u have at home? I know I can join a gym but with kiddies it's hard to find time so thought of getting something for home. Would love a treadmill but for a decent one I need a few hundred pounds what do people have/recommend

Have just ordered my first 4 week starter pack and want to get started As soon as it arrives and now my mother in law has invited me to a BBQ in Sunday. I don't want to mess up my first week but can't not go and I can't not eat anything so what do I do? There will be plenty of salad so I can...

Good luck I just ordered my first pack can't wait for it to arrive

Well new in here. Been on minimums for years but in the slimming world threads. I have done sw for 2 years and lost 2 1/2 stone but put 1/2 stone back on. I love sw but have lost all motivation on it so am trying something new and quite excited about the 5:2 diet. I have about a stone left to...

That's all free Hun so go ahead and use some syns on whatever u fancy

Chocolate fudge brownie I can't wait to try them

This will sound strange but weeks where I eat lots of eggs I have good losses

thanx thats really helpful and not as bad as i was expecting will def check all syns then split between 4 as will be for me hubby and kids so def worth using some syns on. and yes, it is against the law to have toad in the hole without gravy, and roasties too but i will make them sw style mmmmm...

Is it possible to make toad in the hole within syns? I use tesco light choices sausages which are half syn but I know the batter would be high but worth saving a days syns for if it's possible

Congrats Hun u have done fab. What happens next depends on if u fit certain criteria, then u can progress to regionals. I'm not 100% on the criteria but your consultant will. When we did woman of the year it was something like u had to have lost minimum of 3stone and be in a healthy bmi wheat...

This always confuses me, my consultant raves about sw scones made with smash and she says they r free and she often recommends them as snacks ti

I'm 5ft2 and started at 12st7 I didn't realise notice a difference in myself till I had lost my 1st stone but my biggest difference was going from 2stone loss to 2 1/2 stone loss. Even my mother in law commented that I didn't really look much different then losing that last half stone and I...

how many people does this serve? would it be enough for 2 aldults and 2 kids?

I'm 5ft2 and currently 10stone and a size 12 a few years back I got down to 9 stone but still couldn't get a size 10 over my hips yet a 12 was too big on my waist so for me personally I won't go less than 9.7 and just stay a size 12. I can fit a size 10 top though :-)

I would get him some little board books Osborne books do a fab range of touchy feely books 'that's not my.....' Clothes always go down well with parents and I don't know any little boys (even that young) that don't love cars so would maybe get some nice chunky colourful ones

We had tasters in group last week, I actually wasn't expecting much as i am not a fan of Xmas pudding but I was pleasantly surprised and although I prob wouldn't eat them everyday they definitely had a Christmassy taste.

I have no medical experience or knowledge of pcos but I do know a girl with pcos who has lost a massive amount if weight on sw. Give it a try see how u get on, if the carbs don't agree with u u could always try red days or just watch your portions if carbs on we if u need to

I have a 9 year old and a 2 year old. The youngest eats what she is given but is allowed biscuits crisps etc in moderation and she also eats lots if fruit and at the moment loves to snack on cherry toms. My eldest is harder he knows I do sw but he still sees me eat lots and mostly the same as...

My current faves are Armani - diamonds Lacoste - touch of pink Would like to try some new ones though but there's not many places near me that do testers. My hubby wears the original men's Jean Paul gaultier and it's lovely

I didn't have an 'omg I need to lose weight' moment I was always slim before having kids then my weight would creep up for the last 10 years I have yo-yo'ed so much normally getting tight in a size 14 was enough to make me diet again then I would put it back on again till I felt uncomfortable...

I have tried but it's not consistent. One week my scales were bang on with sw the next they were 1/2 under so u never take what my scales say seriously but I do use them as a guide to what I might expect at sw

Thank you for all the lovely comments, makes it all feel worthwhile :-)

I would have the two slices as hexb but would trim the crust off one of them to get it down to 60g

If ur not big on bread and cereal 2 alpen lights is a hexb so u could keep these at work for snacks. U could do the same for ur hexa have a look in the grab and go section

I have porridge with. A handful of blueberries chucked in before I microwave it, there's a fine line but I have this almost everyday and still lose so unless I stop losing I won't change it

Good luck Hun I really hope the group can help u in whatever way possible. U sound like ur in the right mindset so am sure u will do fab.

Dark blue 3/4 quater length jeans and a pretty blue flowery top and flip flops

Well done u look fantastic

Thank you. I love the purple top it was a hand me down from my sister in law. I had been stressing about going out as had nothing nice to wear then she turned up withs bag full of clothes she no longer wanted :-)

My wi in 7.30pm no way could I starve myself all day. I eat normally through out the day but I do watch my portion sizes and try and keep things 'light' for example I have porridge for breakie with fruit mugshot and fruit for lunch and maybe just a ryvita with cheese or a alpen light for a snack...

Hi I also joined sw after having my second baby and was my biggest ever and hated it. I much prefer sw over we (which I did years ago) sw fits in with family life so much easier and I never feel hungry

My consultant is brilliant I wouldn't have got this far without her. It's a small group though although we have got a lot more new members over summer

I am about the same height 5ft2 but started at 12.71/2 I'm not far off target now which is 9.7 it def works has took me a lot longer than planned due to my own lack of will power but I never gave up. I have some pics on here too if u would like a look

All I will say I make sure u get weighed I was in hols last week got back Monday at 3.30pm and went to sw at 7pm I had a whopping gain of 6lbs. I have drawn a line though and am back on plan and not beating myself up over it, even though I was only 3.5lbs of target before holiday. I could have...

Well done Hun, it really is a fab healthy eating plan when u get your head round it

I like the cheese and ham pasta bake Cook pasta and then add to a bowl with. Some chopped ham cherry tomatoes spring onions and cooked broccoli and cauliflower. For the sauce in a desperate bowl beat 2 eggs and mix well with 200g low fat cottage cheese (I use the cheese and chives one in tesco)...

Thank you everyone and good luck on your journeys u will all get there if u just stick with it. I have had a big holiday gain so feeling sorry for myself at no but hey I'm back on plan as if today and target is still in sight :-)

Also to add there's a new book comming out soon. Family feasts on a budget I had a sneak peak last night and it looks fab and lots of yummy meals I can dead the family

I have two little ones, we eat the same sw meals most of which I make from scratch but yes sometimes we all need sonething we can just grab and warm up. My faves are Birdseye chicken chargrills 3.5 syns each we have these with veg and mash Batchelors pasta n sauce we like the the leak ham and...

Sorry I never came back to this thread. Well I tried it without breaking the bank I bought a mix of fresh and frozen fruit frozen veg and salad veg I even made pickled onion soup. I was so good but only lost 1.5lb which was really disappointing as I can easily lose that just sticking to plan...

That's great u have done so well to lose 2 stone already and that feeling u have now will be doubled when u get to target :-)

thank you and yes definetly feeling more confident and more like the 'old' me

ok so im not quite at target yet (3.5lb to go) but was out at the weekend and had the opportunity to get dressed up and thought i would share a couple of pics. so the first pic (im the one in the blue peacock dress) was May 2011 about 2 weeks after having my second baby, this was the start of...

i have the implant and it hasnt made me gain weight nor has it hindered my weight loss. i have no side effects with it but my periods are all over the place.

U don't seen to have had a healthy extra A? A typical day for me might be something like this Breakfast 35g porridge oat (hexb)with 125ml semi skimmed mill (half hexa) and some blueberries mixed in Lunch omelette using fry lite to cook with lots of mushrooms, peppers and cherry tomatoes and...

i take each day as it comes as see what i crave (unless i have a planned meal or something at the weekend that i need to allow for) i dont specially try to keep my syns low so if i get through the day and not used any i will not eat them for the sake of eating them, likewise throughout the day i...

I do I'm not as bad as I used to be, but then that's only cuz hubby now has a lads night at ours on Monday so when I get back I don't want all his mates to see me binge. So I just share their popcorn and maybe a bag if crisps or bit if choccy. I used to eat everything I could find after wi toast...

I cycle and my bike has a wide gel seat which I find good. I did my first longer bike ride last night though and was starting to get a little uncomfortable towards the end. I have been told u can get padded cycling shorts. These may be a wise buy along with a decent seat

I want lose 3lb this week, which is what I gained last week so puts me right back where I was. Then from there 5lbs off to give me my 3 stone award and another little half lb on top to get to target. I know I can set my target at 3stone loss but I don't like half lbs I may lose more after target...

I have always done we and works great for me I lost 4lb my first week. I'm the opposite if u though I love ee it's all I know but I cannot get my head around red/green. I have done the occasional green day but feel guilty havering the extra hex as this to me accounts to another 12 syns on top of...

I would like to lose 8.5lb in 3 weeks for my holiday so I need to try really hard. This week I am just sticking to plan as had already done my weekly shop and will up my excersize. I was thinking of maybe trying success express next week for a boost and have looked at the menu plan the website...

my fave is supersize vs superskinny ii love seeing both ends of the scales and keeps me focussed on 'being healthy' rather than just the initial weight loss. i also like secret eaters but wouldnt say this really motivates me i just like the fact that sometimes i can see where i go wrong myself...

i dont think they would have any results yet from the actual sample, from what i know they have to grow the cells from the sample in a test tube first to see if they develop any cancerous cells/tissue. try not to worry like others said they have probably misplaced it or the sample isnt good...

3 quarter length jeans and a red t shirt with red ballet pumps.

Mine was around the first stone I noticed a difference. Stick at it it is soooo worth it. I was stuck at 10.7 since nov last year and have now lost 7lb in the last 5 weeks (total of 2.5stone lost) that last 7lb has made the biggest difference and all of a sudden everyone I meet is commenting on...

Congratulations Hun. So glad things have turned around for u. How's it going being a consultant?

Well done that's fantastic x

I like the sound of yoga and Pilates, is there any DVDs u would recommend

I do excersize I cycle and walk a lot but that's not more gentle excersize at the no I do gym once a week which hopefully u can increase but not till I pass my driving test so I can actually get myself there

I have lost 2stone 8.5lbs now and only 6lbs off target. I'm generally happy with my size but I still have a flabby belly that's sticks out. Anyone got any tips for a flatter tummy? I know it's never gonna be perfect as I have had 2 kids but would still like to improve it slightly

I don't do anything special I just stick to the plan. I weigh/measure all healthy extras every time I keep track of my syns on the sw app and never go over 15 I eat super free with each meal and drink 2 pints of water plus coffees and I go gym once a week and lots if walking and cycling. This...

I don't drain or rinse and have spaghetti Bol once a week and it hasn't affected my weight loss.

If I make some chicken kebabs, so just small chunks/bite size bits of chicken on a stick, do I need to pre cook the chicken in the oven before putting it on the BBQ?

I used to not eat them at all but it eventually back fired and I would binge. Got in a bad cycle of not having them, causing a binge, then me trying to cut them out again cuz felt guilty in binge, leading to another binge:-( I now use them however I choose some days I have 5 and am fine with...

I know how u feel Hun. I joined sw feb last year and did well to start but then since November have been exactly as u describe. All good intentions then losing it half way through the week, gaining weight then losing it only to put on again the next week cuz I lose the plot. Luckily I have a...

That's great :-)

I'm in my third outfit today already, lol. When I got up I put my gym gear on and chucked in my bag a pretty pink maxi dress thinking it would be sunny and much easier/quicker to get changed into. However it's cold so now I'm home I have changed out of the dress into my dark blue straight leg...

We very rarely have take away pizza as its soooo expensive (and obv I can't eat it) so I wouldn't mind my kids having it as a treat at a party or on the odd occasion that we have ordered it. My son had a party last year and I bought each child a macdonalds happy meal. Also depends in each if...

Normally just one after dinner as I like the choc sprinkles ones its my sweet treat instead if desert. I don't really eat them other times other than occasionally with fruit for breakie, as one can't afford to buy loads and two there not my first choice for a snack would rather an alpen light or...

i did the scan bran challenge 5 a day as heb, i lost a lb that week so no major loss and i have lost more than that on weeks without it so for me personally i dont think its worth it

I don't know sorry but why don't u make up some meals and freeze in portions things like spaghetti Bol or chilli would be good

Dried noodles r free but not the fresh ones

We had an all day breakfast sw style. Was fab as am slightly hungover and was yummy and filling and kept me on the sw wagon after all the alcohol last night

Anyone tried these? Been looking online and lots of good reviews claiming big inch loss which is supposedly permanent. Thinking of trying it but don't want to waste money if it doesn't work

I also weigh at 7.30pm but I don't do much different I eat normally but I don't drink late afternoon onwards and I have my tea at 5pm so has time to digest first. It doesn't effect my weight loss cus I do it every week. Whatever u decide to do just make sure u do the same each week.

Also if u r a member there is a sw app which is very handy for looking up syns quickly when u r out and about and I also like it cuz it keeps track if your daily syns

Bless her it's tough being a teenager x What about trying the kalms tablets or something similar

Good luck hun x

Don't worry we all do it, I've been in sw over a year and still do it. Draw a line under it and start again if u stick to plan the rest of the week u will be fine

Not sure on the official rules for skin but I always roast my whole chicken then remove skin when cooked. Potatoes cooked in the chicken juices would need to be syned

You can def change plans daily have as many green red we days as u like. Only thing u can do is change plans half way through the day

Could it be your scales? I find my scales although digital decent ones seem to vary a lot I have to leave them in the exact same spot cuz if they move more than an inch I get a completely different reading. Maybe u could try popping to boots once a week for weigh in. Will help rule out any...

my consultant briefly mentioned a few weeks ago that there was a new book coming out for family meals on a budget. she didnt say when though and just wondered if anyone else heard of it and if they know when its due to be out?

if it helps i got caught out too. im the same as you dont open suspicious emails websites pop ups ect thought i was so careful, but no i still got caught TWICE first sounded similar to yours and luckily the mcafee picked it up and deleted it for me. the second was worse dont know what it did but...

I try to save my syns so if I need something in the evening I can last night I had enough left to have a pack of crisps and an alpen light. I could have happily eaten more but I stayed strong and left it at that. I still have days where I'm not strong though and give in and eat loads if...

I have been struggling to lose for months but still go to group as I like the social aspect and helping on social team and also I don't want to go backwards and put loads of weight back on. However money is tight at mo so was thinking of setting my target weight at my current weight so I can...

Why r u not allowed lunch at ur desk? I work 9.30 -2.30 and I eat at my desk. If ur not allowed to eat at ur desk could u request a 15 min break? I generally take mugshots and lots of fruit/Alpen bars to work but if u r working out after u may need something more substantial

My birthday is comming up and I will have to take cream cakes to work. I just wondered if anyone knew of anything in a bakery that I could treat myself to without going ott on syns. I know the obvious would be to have nothing but just seems a bit sad to buy everyone else cakes and not have any...

1lb to take me back to my 2 stone award then 4.5lb to take me to my lowest weight since joining sw. From then 8lb will give me my 2.5stone award then just after that 9lb will take me under 10 stone then it's home run to target but not sure if that will be 9.7 or 9 so waiting till I get a bit...

Yes I can be the same but all I can advise is go to group face up to whatever gain u have had and stay to image therapy. I know u don't want to(have been there myself and trust me when I don't go the next week is just as bad despite all good intentions) this is the week when u will most need the...

Apparently in sainsburys picnic section they have sandwich boxes with an ice pack made into the lid sounds like a good idea

I have a touring I love it. We have. 2 kiddies and its great to just up and go for the weekend and love the freedom of choice to go wherever we want. Hubby had never towed before but his dad had so he went out with his dad for the morning towing to get a feel for it and practice manoeuvres and...

I'm a binge eater but I can't binge on free foods as its just not the same. I have it mostly under control as sticking to plan means I don't get starving and want to eat everything in sight. However emotional binging is harder. Been feeling sorry for myself all day and craved choc all day and...

Seeing as she doesn't feel like cooking much I would suggest to her that u give dinner a miss but can still meet up for a catch up. Then u can eat a nice sw friendly meal beforehand and not have to cancel on your friend completely. I would then save some syns and take something yummy that u can...

Please can u add me I have finally got back on track after not really sticking to plan since nov. so now I got my butt in gear I would like to shift 8lbs so I'm at least under 10 stone for my bday

It used to say on the website that u could have 1 original sachet + 1 ryvita as a heb which is what I have always done and still do even though they r no longer listed as heb

I thought any whole meal roll for 60g was a heb oops

Last year I stuck to plan all week other than my actual bday when I had what I wanted but didn't go mad. Still had a gain I think can't remember but it wasn't bad. This year will be very different as will be my 30th and I will go all out plus me and hubby r going away for the weekend and I...

Love both of these :-) love a little boost mid week

We have had a few now and our consultant brings paper plates then just before image therapy everyone fills their plate with a little of each then we sit and will go through image therapy whilst everyone is tucking in.

Yeh I agree prob over thinking about it I just always feel really naughty on green days lol

So I normally do we but occasional green when I want the extra healthy extras. So today I will be green I had porridge and 125ml ss milk and berries lunch a mugshot banana 2 oranges snack 1 revita and 15g cheese and some pickled onions dinner will be sw chips beans a birds eye burger (9 syns) a...

i always go for salad cream with wholegrain mustard

agree with drinking more water. also what are your portion sizes like? u may be eating the right things but may benefit by cutting down portion sizes or even eating more if your not eating enough. how many syns do u have on average? my mum cant go over 10 but has to eat atleast 7.

thanx everyone, i went back last night and stayed for image therapy my consultant has given me an sos log and i am feeling much more positive about the week ahead.

i do easy because i just cant get my head around red and green. im sure i could if i tried but i just get put off by having to weigh out meats and potatoes etc because i really do love easy cuz i dont have to worry about portion sizes

im on my first day of filling in an sos log but im stuck on what to put in the sas techniques bit

i have been struggling and lost my way a bit and missed my last to meetings, my cinsultant txt me and said if i come to next meeting she has some over tools to discuss with me that may help. anyone know what these may be? i already know about success express and 7-7-7 so its not either of them

i definetly have bigger loses the more superfree i eat and also it fills me up so im less likely to pick at things. do u like salad?

i have won ours a couple of times andboth times had to chuck half away as it went mouldy within a couple of days before i could eat it, was vey dissapointing. i have on occasion put an alpen light bar in and nothings been said but not sure if im allowed to or not.

not overly exciting but my consultant also gets random things like ice lolly moulds and handy kitchen utensils.

blue jeans and a red cowl neck jumper

i noticed this week that the lady who normally does either weighs or check in had a little confidentiallity agreement on her desk that she had signed and had laminated.

please can anyone tell me if tinned ham is free

would anyone be kind enough to post the recipe for the cheesy ham and pasta bake on page 31

I have just started the gym now instead. There was a really good thread on here before i wonder if its still going

well done i did this last year and got to the run for 20 mins but then gave up due to lack of time, annoyed as can now barely run for 1 min again

Just go along to group they always have offers on think its only £10 to join at the mo

There is an app but i dont use it. I just go on the normal internet amd type in the web address it sometimes asks if i want the app but i just click no thanx

i think i will try this next week

also i wish i could just have choc/crisps as syns then i prob wouldnt binge after weigh in but i cant just have 1 bag of crisps without leading to more and going over my daily syns. guess next monday night i need to be harder on myself not to binge

see thats the problem i need to do packed lunches for kids and for hubby so there is always crisps/chocolate/cakes ect in the house. it is a lot easier to risist them than it was a year ago but i still got work to do.

can anyone help me? i used to binge eat a lot and now been doing sw for almost a year and i have it mainly under control, however i still binge every monday night when i get home from weigh in. how do i break this habit and overcome binge eating once and for all. also part of controlling my...

Does anyone have a sw friendly toad in the hole recipe? really really fancy this so if anyone could help i would love u

To have moved house. Need somewhete bigger but waiting on this place to sell

just cuz they say i look good/fine as i am now and saying that i will be TOO skinny at 9 stone

cant help but yes i have the same problem. hate always having a builders bum or having to remember to pull my jeans up before i sit down

Slightly off topic but i am currently a large 12 and was discussing my target weight at group and was discouraged from wanting to get to 9 stone and friends family seem to be saying the same. I would love to be a size 10 and dont see why i should be made to feel bad about that

We r having an xmas party at sw next week. Can i have ideas for what i can take in food wise

i agree and wish her all the luck in the world. i hope she can stay strong and overcome this. to answer the original question, yes she deserves sympatgy. we r all on a weight loss journey no matter where we started and what our reasons where. its not about blame but being able to get to get...

my son has always done the same and never came to any harm although he did draw on the wall one morning. hes now 7 and gets up and makes himself toast or porridge which he puts in microwave. u cant wrap them in cotton wool and sounds like u have already done everything possible to keep him safe

I never thought offreezing them, i am so going to try this

Is the book much different to the website. I have looked at the website in the past but its all so overwhelming. I really need to get my house sorted theres so much clutter and it needs a damn good clean

Other than wanting to go on a huge shopping spree, i want to get a family portrait done a nice big one to go up in the living room. We have wanted one for ages and had said not till my baby was older but also cuz i dont want to look at a pic of me being fat for years to come

This is why i have rejoinrd sw as my homes scales (which are decent ones) are so rubbish i had no idea what weight i was and completely threw me of my diet

I spent £100 on healthy food this week cant afford to keep doing that

Tiny

does super speed food actually make u lose weight faster, or does it just fill u up more so you eat less?

These sound yummy i must get some to try

That sounds yummy how many syns in the choc philly

Thank you think i will have to try the sainsburies ones. Hubby keeps asking for sausage casserole

I lost 1.5lb this week very pleased with that:)

Grapefruit Cucumber Pineapple

Just had my lunch had a chicken and cucumber wrap. The wrap was 7 syns then a mullerlight yoghurt and some pinapple. Now going to wash down with a pint of sugar free squash

Remember that if u r excersizing then you will be turning fat to muscle and muscle weighs more than fat

Thanx thats great to know especially the super speedy bit

I have never heard of this not sure if it sounds yummy or yuk. How many syns does it have

hiim jasmin im 28 joined sw last week sofirst weigh in tonigh, wish me luck. I have a 7 year old boy and 9 month old girl. I feel huge at mo never been this big and been struggling to lose extra baby weight let alone the weight i needed to lose before getting pregnant. First week has been good...

Thanx for this thread still getting the hang if things but i like the site

we r going to macdonalds for tea i have all my 15 syns available what can i have? Am thinking maybe small fries and either chicken nuggets or cheeseburger. What about the wraps how bad are they. Thanx

hi this is my first post so i apologise if its in the wrong place. My hubby wants to do the extra easy diet with me, but he would never go to a group. What i would like to know is, is the number of daily syns and healthy extras the same for men?
