As far as I understand it, free foods are used for their filling power, so you fill up on those before eating other food groups. The healthy extras are allowed for the calcium and fibre content and protein is encouraged because it also has filling power

I think it’s around 75g or 3 oz for pasta and rice, as for potatoes , I use a single medium to large potato for jacket or 1 portion of chips. I know they’re free foods but I still stick to the same portion size for these.

:D:p:D:D

Wow thanks @Tibbs for going to all that trouble!! I think I can safely call them free then!! :):)

I’ve eaten the Morrisons turkey rashers this morning for part of my breakfast, now I know the mattessons varieties are free but according to the app, the Morrisons rashers has a syns value, any thoughts? They’re to all intents and purposes identical to the mattessons turkey rashers so surely...

I use it because it’s easier on the pocket and better value for money and to be frank, I don’t think there’s much in it. Anyone else use this type of mince?

I’ve been using this particular mince for my chilliest etc but attributing a syn value purely because its 7% and that’s what the app says and it’s not 5% like the free sort- but I’m wondering would it make much difference if I ditched the syn or 2 I allow and class it as free? It’s still very...

Hi folks!! Well I made this (albeit with a couple of tweaks!) last night and it was tasty. The recipe on the website called for natural yogurt in the recipe but I’ve a thing about baking with yogurt, I don’t know, it just doesn’t “sit right “ with me, and I had a tub of quark just begging to be...

You can start one on here or just keep a private one if you don’t feel like sharing but I try and keep mine on here. It does help me, and as I said before, it might help you spot any patterns or food choices that might be sabotaging your weight loss

Thanks tibbs xx if you want the recipe let me know, it’s really easy to make, with or without a soup maker x

:p I’m intrigued by the cottage pie undone, did the roof come off?? :p

As far as I can surmise, they’re a strict no-no on sp days.

Hi solange, what a pretty name! You’ll do it. We can do it!! I’m hovering in the early 11s now, but longing to get into the 10s, I can’t remember when I was last 10 st anything!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Jean, please don’t beat yourself up, there has to be a logical reason, ie as msan says it could be water retention. . I bet your body is just still adjusting. Do you keep a food diary? Might be worth jotting things down as you eat and drink and see if a pattern emerges.

I too have a treadmill that is masquerading as a clothes horse :blahblah::rotflmao:

I like your thinking !! :p

I bought some fresh boneless and skinless chicken thigh fillets today from Sainsbury’s. Are they free? Thanks

Thanks , I haven’t seen it yet but I’m using Trim with Tans recipe and using it as a slow cooker casserole mix for dinner tonight, yum yum

Thanks!! I’m amazed tbh as I’ve been over my syns on a couple of days

1.5lb off this week!! :woohoo::wee:

1.5lb off this week!! Astounding considering I’ve been off plan a couple of times :D:D:wee:

1.5lbs off this week please Kay!! Whoop whoop!!:0icanfly::wee::woohoo:

1.5 lbs off this week!! Whoop whoop!! :):woohoo::wee:

It doesn’t look like a lot but it makes enough for 4

I made this today, minestrone soup, in my soup maker

Well done!!:0clapper::thankyouthankyou:

I like the idea of keeping KitKat in freezer! Ace idea ! Your meals sound delicious!

You still have to be mindful of portion sizes, yes free food is free but it is still calories going in. Definitely recommend keeping a food diary. It can take a while for your body to adjust. Well done on the weight loss this week!! :0clapper:

Well it’s my birthday today so probably will be over my syns but hey ho back on plan tomorrow :bestwishes::winner:

Oh dear oh dear, I’ve been very naughty tonight :angeldevil::angeldevil::angeldevil:

Tastefully Vikki on YouTube has some great soup recipes, and although she uses a soup maker (as do I) they can just as easily be made on the hob or in a pressure cooker or slow cooker

Here’s hoping for a better result next week. I think I know where I’m going wrong. I’m going to try an sp day here and there, too boost my losses and definitely drink more water. On the up side, I’ve weed loads today so hopefully that will help!!:p:p:p

+ 0.25lb on today, sorry folks :oops:

Unfortunately a small gain this week +0.1kg sorry folks :oops: (0.25 lb in old money!)

I know I need to drink more water

Small gain this week I’m afraid :oops: +0.1kg not sure how that translates to pounds? Not much at least

I’m trying an sp day today so mixed speed berries and Quark for breakfast with an alpen light bar

Hi daisy!! I can’t comment about the soup as I’ve never tried it but I was just wondering about the red day in your post title as I didn’t think that sw were doing those now? Cheers x Ps I treated myself to a new soup maker and it’s amazing!!

Ooh weigh in tomorrow, good luck all Thursday weighers!! :cool::cool::cool::cool:
