You don't need to give them a miss they are still fairly low as crisp go. No point depriving yourself if you like them

Why don't you use just plain dried noodles much cheaper and you get loads and they are syn free

I think it just depends on what plan your on i.e on a green day they may be syned but on EE or red they are free. I think that's right but I am sure someone more knowledgable than me will confirm .

Mine was like that too so I added an extra lemon , was lovely though

If it ain't one thing it's another lol if we listened to it all we would all starve

Hopefully so but you could say the same about tobacco

I think it's to do with the sweetener aspartame and the harm it can do you

Making this now only I forgot the Tabasco and have added some honey and it's delish. Think I may have overdone it with the chilli though. A recipe I will definitely be adding to my recipe book. Thanks for that .

I know exact what you mean my bad week is the same I usually don't loose much that week and just want chocolate but it usually balances out the following week

Why is it the only thing I crave and really want is toast and peanut butter? Never even had it much before!

Great recipe going to try this today for tea thanks

Well done wish I had 2.5 to go

Smash covered chicken is lovely

That sounds lovely will definitely try it and it's something my whole family will eat

I make mine with chicken stock as above them I stir fry it with some chicken tikka slices and mushrooms and peppers very yummy and filling

That's what I thought Thanks for that. I think this site is more useful that the classes too

I'm debating whether I should stop going to class or not! It's £5 a session and I only go to get weighed as I can't stay for the meeting. Might as well just do it at home. What do u all think?

I had them with a pitta and some homemade salsa made from tomotoes, red onion and coriander and a bit of olive oil and it was lush

I make it and leave the oil out just use soy sauce and fry light and it's lovely

Made these for tea yesterday a definite hit and will make again surprisingly good

Does anyone know the syns in tesco chilled singapore noodles can't find then online thanx

Weigh in for me tomorrow god only knows what my weight is this week had two nights out this week so expecting some gain. Fingers crossed guys !

My little boy is much better now but can't say the same for the diet. This is going to be a tricky weekend got lots of socialising to do . Think it's damage limitation this week lol

Couldn't go to weigh in this week as my little boy is ill but going to try really hard this week

You could make a chocolate spread for it out of quark which is nice it's as follows- 2 tablespoons quark 1/2 teaspoon coco powder 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 1 tsp sweetener = 1/2 syn for the coco powder Not sure if that will be enough but you can double of triple up the measurements to make...

I would just enjoy the day and not worry about it you can go back on plan the day after

I just soak it . It doesnt go soft then it absorbs all the milk in the oven. But lots of people just do it on the hob. If you use the milk from your HEa for each portion it's syn free . If not then I usually just say about 2 syns (but not sure that's exactly right) . I divide it into about 4/5...

I just soak some pudding rice in boiling water for about 30 mins add sweetener then put in milk and nutmeg on top and pop in the oven I check every 20mins and just keep adding milk as the rice absorbs it and give it a stir until its done . Really simple and very filling

I make rice pudding all the time and love it. I make it in the oven there is a thread in here about rice pudding . I've started having it for breakfast to save a HE B as I usually have cereal

I definitely need to add in some exercise I just have trouble with the motivation

Will def try that one sounds lovely

Corn on the cob , make some vegetable kebabs with onion, peppers, mushrooms , salmon is really tasty done on the BBQ just wrap in tin foil and squirt some lemon Juice on it .

Had the Sainsburys be good to yourself Cumberland sausages and at only 1/2 syn each and surprisingly very tasty

I don't use yogart in my recipe I should add

I make enough for about three days and it's fine I just reheat in microwave and add a bit more milk

Hi everyone just creeped into this room by loosing 1lb so now 15st 13lbs . Been so hard getting below 16st but I'm finally here. Hooray!!!

Lost 1lb this week do now 15st 13lbs so now in the next forum room so bye guys hope to hear from you all soon x

Banana Strawberries Potatoe Broccoli Cauliflower Carrots

Blue

A weight watchers chocolate mini Swiss roll ...yum yum

You can still have carrot and swede on a red day and it won't use you Hex allowance but you can use potatoes as well as use as a HEX

Checked on SW on line and this wasn't listed but the plain one is 1.5 syns per tbsp so can't be much more than that I would think . I don't know how to put the ingredients in get it exact.

Same with me I Mainly do EE days and it's slow I find having a few red or green days really helps. But then again a loss is a loss whatever it is it all helps .

On green and EE days dried noodles are free

Pasta bakes are always cheap cook some pasta put in a dish , pour over some tinned toms, and add whatever else you like such as mushrooms, bacon , garlic, basil etc and top off with some cheese (using your cheese from your HE allowance.

I'm the same Angie it's been a hard slog not as easy as in the past but I'm nearly in the 15's now started at 17st and this week after six weigh ins I'm 16st . Stick with it and you'll be fine

As far as I know it's syn free

Thank god for that must have read it wrong that's a relief

Thought these were all free and have been eating them according but apparently not they have syns.

They all seem to be between 10 and 10 1/2 syns each

I put them in chilli con carne instead of kidney beans as my kids hate kidney beans. What about a sausage and bean hotpot which you could top off with thin potatoe slices and some grated cheese

Just had it on a crisp bread with strawberry slices on top was really lush

Just made this and it's lovely not sure how thick it should be though. Mine was a bit like a custard. Just put in fridge so it might thicken up a bit there. Think I'll add another lemon to it next time . A good base for lots of different deserts as well as a spread .

Lost 4lb's so now 16st exactly that's a whole stone lost in six weeks very happy . Look out 15's here I come lol

I second that , just enjoy your night out !!

I think it would be about 15 syns per portion if you go on 295 calories and 1 syn per 20 calories

Weigh in this morning couldnt go last week but hoping I've lost 3lbs as I seem to loose about 1 1/2 lbs a week . It's going but slowly

Thanks that's great I'll have a look

Where do you get syn free lemon curd? Love lemon curd really miss it

That's a great recipe will def be trying that

It's sounds like rather a lot and you should really be filling your plate with 1/3 of super free , but see how your weight loss goes and then you will know . Good luck

Today's food entries - quite boring Thursday Breakfast 2x toast with peanut butter ( had a craving I couldn't fight and don't even Know how many syns) Lunch Cous cous ( made a big bowl With chestnut mushrooms and chicken tikka slices) and some chili beef slices, mullerlight Dinner Same as...

I make a big bowl of cous cous and just keep it in the fridge. I get just plain cous cous , make up some chicken or veg stock with a stock cube and boiling water and just pour it on the cous cous, meanwhile I fry some mushrooms, chicken tikka slices or whatever else I have in the fridge to use...

Does anyone know of any low syn cakes

Thanx I'll give it a go

I made these and didn't like them, they looked like pancakes but had a strange texture and aftertaste

What recipe is that Laura? Would really like something different for breakfast I just seem to be having the same stuff all the time to stay safe .

I cook a few and then just let cool down, wrap in tin foil and then just heat up in microwave when I need them. Syn free and better than the frozen ones I think .

Wednesday 9th of may Originally intended to have the magic pancakes but didn't like them and couldn't eat them. I did eat one but think I'm not going to count it. Breakfast - green day Banana Mid morning Alpen light bar (HEb) Lunch Chicken salad and mullerlight yogart Dinner Jacket...

Well made the magic pancakes. They looked like pancakes but had a funny yogart taste which I didn't like and couldn't eat them.... Thoroughly disappointed with them

You could cut them into slices and fry them in fry light . I used to do this pre-slimming world but used butter instead of frylight

I soak from pudding rice in boiling water for about 30mins , just enough water to cover. Then I top up with semi skimmed milk, two desert spoonfuls of sweetener and some nutmeg and put in oven. Keep checking every 15 mins and add more milk when needed until rice is soft . Then when done I divide...

I've made some magi pancakes mix for breakie tomorrow . Soaking the oats and yogart in fridge now hope they turn out ok, watch this space lol

I found it in tesco it's called Make a Meal with Chilli beef and they also do one that's a mustard gammon both are lovely and syn free on a red and EE day . Especially when you don't have much time they are quick and easy as you can have them hot or cold . Added to which tesco are doing three...

Yes I'm sure your right just worried I've now put all the weight I have tried so hard to loose , back on again.

Well yesterday was a total Disaster two bottles of wine and steak and chips and the mother of all hangovers today . To add to my suffering (which I totally deserve) had to get up at 6am (still pissed) and get everyone up to go to football as my son was playing . Was out of the house by 7am ( an...

Well blew the diet big time . Went out last night and two bottles of wine and the mother of all hangovers later .....think I'll be sticking in this room for a few more weeks!

I know what you mean I seem to be hovering around 16 for ages

I find it's easier to keep track of what I'm eating. Well done you doing the same

I make up a rice pudding which is nice , I just soak some pudding rice for about 30 mins in boiling water then put in some skimmed milk , sweetener and nutmeg on top and pop into the oven until cooked. You may have to keep adding milk/water to it . It's lovely and I think if you use your milk...

I make up a huge rice pudding with skimmed milk and sweetener put in lots of little pots and just leave in the fridge . Mug shots are a good filling snack as well I find when I can't be bothered or are in a rush. Good luck with it hope it goes well for you

Lol I know what u mean I made two slices and looked up syns whilst eating it , couldn't eat the other slice lol

Snack - grapes Dinner Rice and a quorn casserole ( which I couldn't eat don't think I will buy quorn again) , strawberries

Thursday the 3rd May - EE day Breakfast Had a slice of toast with marg and peanut butter ( really fancied it , then calculated syns to 12 and then wished I hadn't had it) Weetabix and milk HEa & HEb Lunch Made up some syn free couscous with chili beef and chargrilled veg - was really yummy and...

Well here goes.... Been a yoyo dieter all my life and my weight four weeks ago was 17stone which is the heaviest I've ever been . I'm now 16st 4lbs so certainly going in the right direction. Decided to keep a diary to keep me on the straight and narrow and help is thoroughly welcome. Today's...

I'm going to the pub for tea and then a little drink or two on Saturday . Don't go out often but I'm not going to worry about it and for one night enjoy it lol and then back on track Sunday

This weeks nearly over crazyarmywife hopefully next week won't be so stressful for you but well done staying on track , I know when I am stressed the diet goes out of the window and I end up feeling worse. So well done

Didn't think of it like that thanks Sally

Bit disappointed lost 1 1/2 lbs thought I had done better. But a loss is a loss and i have lost 10lbs over 4 weeks so not too bad. I've been doing EE easy days think I will change to red or green days see if that makes a difference

If they are 40 cal then would usually be about 2 syns going on the 1 syn for every 20 cals . Hope that helps , but know doubt someone on here will know exactly

Well done everyone hopefully I'll be in the 15's soon

It was a toss up last night between a curly wurly or a glass of wine and the curly wurly won out lol

I did the yogart thing also bought super noodles instead of light ones and thought smoked mackerel was free as well and then wondered why i'd only lost 1lb lol

I noticed on the recipe section here there is a post for active fry recipes and it says about doing chips in it just sprayed with frylite .

I make a nice salsa with chopped tomatoes, coriander , chopped red onion, a tsp of olive oil ( you can use HEX or just leave out) and some chopped chilli (if you want it hot otherwise leave out chilli), season with salt and pepper.

2 1/2 lb's lost this week and after my slight wobble on Saturday I am well pleased with that. So that's 8 1/2 lbs over 4 weeks. I'm a very happy bunny !!

Getting worried about my weigh in tomorrow in case I've put on. Hope I haven't didn't have a good day Saturday but have stuck to plan all week so fingers crossed guys

Made the coleslaw that was very nice

That's what I thought but couldn't find any that said "eat smart" oh well I'll give these ones to the kids then

Bought some crisps from morrisons that say baked not fried and are 122kcal per pack for the stick ones are these the ones which are only 1 1/2 sins a pack?

Yesterday was a bit like that went out with my mate. Haven't been out for ages and there was absolutely nothing on the menu I could safely eat anyway so had a surf and turf , but didn't eat the chips ( as if that makes much of a difference lol) then had ice cream. So a bit off track but just...

Thanks everyone for your encouragement always find the weekends the worse so here's fingers crossed it will be a good one lol

Hi everyone started at 17st two weeks ago and have lost 6lbs so far hoping to loose 4stone but would be so happy with two stone. Don't want to set too big a goal to start with . Best of luck everyone

I had half a one the other day with loads of salad and chicken it was scrummy worth the 4 sins to make a change for lunch

I would freeze it if it was me , just give it a good store when you defrost and come to use it next

I know how you feel I only lost 1lb and did try really hard. I am putting it down to my body just adjusting to new eating regime and will just stay on track and see what happens next week. I think 3lbs is pretty good well done!

It's my first week and only lost 1lb. Found it really hard at the start of week and made a few mistakes but think I now have the hang of it do hopefully it will be 2lb's next week

Feel like I'm eating more than I did pre-SW . Not sure I've lost anything but then again only started Wednesday and it's Sunday now and didn't really start properly until Thursday and it is Easter Sunday . Excuses excuses Melly . I really have tried to be good today. Visited family and had a...
