Hi all , I'm almost a week into a fresh start with weight watchers ( we re taking 19 years since I did WW) and things are going well - does anyone have any knowledge of wagamamma and smart points ? I know it won't be low points but would like as a treat - struggling to find much info ?

Well it's been a long time - and a few stones !! After losing a lot of weight without guidance I thought I had it sorted - however Health issues and the stress of uni kind of flattened all that !! So I think it's time I got a grip ( noticed more roundeness on pics ☹️ So thinking WW online...

Hi everyone , Yes there are official SW packs on eBay sold with the approval of SW . However there's also loads of sellers who no longer need them and some are a little cheaper . I got a pack for £ 18 ( I'd sold some old stuff so had money in my PayPal ) and I thought I'd just buy the magazines...

Oh ok , sounds good to me . And super quick !! Thanks x

I think a lot of people have had a wobble over Easter , our group were all stressed so out consultant skipped reading out the weights and everyone had a good chat to re motivate themselves :) x

How do you make the hotdogs ?

I didn't make it to WI on sat , as I was making a dash to Liverpool passport office to beg for help!! With all the stress I know I'd had a decent loss but probably not the kind that stays off !!!

id id love to share .. it's a tin of chickpea Dahl, the asda one is syn free , double check others pack of curry savoury rice cooked 1 onion finely choppy and fried in fry light to bring out flavour 3 eggs 1 large tablespoon of quark ( I added this myself to help with binding ) Mix all...

Keep your eye out for the oatso simple offers , I got the multi grain on offer in morrow ons and stocked up . I think the food bill goes up at little at first as you are getting the basics in . i adapt my cooking to what fruit or veg is on the super 6 at aldi or things I find in the reduced...

Homemade steak burgers with laughing cow on the top , mushrooms, onions, tomatoes & peppers,

thanks and same to you ! I should add add that I'm not too friendly with exercise, that's the hubby's department ha ha but I'm trying to get 2/3 long brisk walks approx 4 miles in , and I'm actually enjoying it x

To support your decision my husband has used MFP and exercise only and has lost almost 3 stone as it has taught him a lot about the calories in foods. its disheartening when it doesn't work, and when I tried SW a few years back it wasn't right for me either. Pleased to say it's going well...

I'm also adding in veg , chilli and bean soup as I got three bags of veg in the reduced bit at tesco and some scotch bonnet chillis

That meant to say sounds lovely :D

curry sounds nd slovenly is it just your own recipe ? X

3 months ago that's exactly what I would have done .. Cheeseburgers were my downfall as I'm on the toad with my job and it's too easy to drive through and eat whilst on the go. The thought of that Knicks me suck now x

Wouldn't mind so much if it was very nice or had cheese in but it was just chicken and stuffing .. Boring

It's a bummer when you think you re being good only to find that the syns are high. I got stuck in traffic and my lunch had got all soggy so bought what believed to be a healthy sandwich , ended up 15 syns

Thanks for the info , there handy to have in an emergency and the cheaper the better

Think it will be sw donner kebab tonight

1.5 off for me yesterday , slow and steady x

Ok so it's just a way of having a controlled fun night and you just stick to normal syns all the other days, that makes sense now thanks x

the sauce is amazing isn't it ? just like big mac sauce :D I made it and put the mince into little gem leaves so that you could pick them up and eat them like a burger with no bun ;)

Was in late from work but hubba had done sw wedges , mushy peas and fried eggs :)

that looks delicious.. which lamb shanks do you buy ? x

Quorn meatballs, pasta , homemade tomato sauce with peppers, onions & mushrooms , mixed salad on the side. Not had any syns today so may have a sprinkle of cheese on top :flirt2:

So that wasn't really a fib then ha ha as we were confessing to our little indulgences of the food variety maybe buying a treat of another type is a much better reward tho

I couldn't get to weigh on Saturday and I am panicking a little now as I feel a bit blind i had had a really good week last week but I think I need to discipline of weigh in ... I was was a bit off plan yesterday , but been well behaved today and getting plenty of water down too ...

Having a good loss defo spurs you on, well done you

I'm confused too , I might text my group leader to see what her reply is ? It's all conflicting info x

I'm not sure I understand this concept properly ? to check.. if I want to lose weight at a steady rate I can have my 15 syns per day if I am going to an occasion or party where I am likely to go over 15 I set myself a limit on syns for that day for example 40 syns but I stick to the 15 the...

Just did a brisk 3 mile walk, so feeling a lot more positive. Think I just panicked a bit :p

Thanks all , I know it wasn't the most horrendous of days but it's the first time in about 6 weeks I felt a bit out of control glad it was too late to go and buy wine ha ha ha im im going to be good today ... I hope x

So ... Couldn't get to weigh in on Saturday , but behaved fairly well over the weekend even though out for a family meal , ate really good choices but did have a few drinkies . spent all day Sunday cooking up sw food, curry, lasagne and curry loaf muffins to have myself prepared for the week...

Mmmm green and black bars , never thought of those as a treat , I love that stuff x

Wow that a amazing "high five "

It's amazing how a good loss keeps you on track x

Good luck , you never know you may have made up for it on the other days x

I wasn't sure wether to buy it so I actually took some pics of the recipes on my iPhone :) Sneaky I know but I couldn't afford it x

That sounds yum !!!

The sauce for the burger in a bowl tasted so much like Big Mac sauce I couldn't believe it !!! I've been making the doner for years it's a family fav ?

I've made a syn box with approx 70 syns in total in it , so I can pick from that and he aware of what's left I put 4 175ml wine in it Various aldi corn snacks ( the crispy fries are only 3.5 syns ) And 3 of the the malteaster mini bunnies (3 syns ) X

I got those too and he chilli is yum !

Would it not be the lime juice concentrate ?

The people that do it tend to save up about half I think The day I joined group my leader said a bottle of wine was 30 syns so if I thought I would have that at weekend to save some. I'm still a little cautious with my syns and actually don't have them all but don't feel deprived x

It really is , I find myself thinking up things to make which keeps me busy too :)

Oh hope they do that at my group sometime :)

Eeeeek is so hard isn't it , but hopefully you have limited the damage by making a better choice x A few in my group have no syns at all on the week to allow for a weekend of fun :) Good luck x

Great I might nip back today I'm going through that obsessed with buying in all the good stuff phase ha ha ha

Really , that sounds good Is the recipe easy for the bhaji ? I've been making the curry loaf in muffin tins and they re like bhaji but totally free YAY

I have got myself into the habit of microwaving a small bag of mixed veg to go with everything ! The best thing is they re almost always in the reduced section at tesco so cheap too :)

? this made me laugh !!

I agree staying can be really helpful and you pick up loads of ideas for cooking Our leader was on hols recently and the person that covered wasn't at all inspiring , really made a difference I thought

Ohhhhhhhh that's good 4 syns I'm thinking of making myself a syn basket this week Adding the max syns in there and then I can just pick out what I want ( I don't tend to have syns on my food )

I picked up the meatballs in asda yesterday but wasn't sure which of the sausages were the best so didn't get them

Sounds great ! Yes I think fruit is the no no when blended , I ll double check at meeting this week though x

I used to love the micro noodles too , it was like a lazy treat but the syns are shocking !!!

Just reading through old threads for inspiration :) Did you get a reply to this ? Sounds yum !!!

I'm not even that keen on mash but these ideas sound good :) especially the one with stock x

Week 2 at group and lost 1.5 Happy as I'd followed the trial plan in the magazine before joining so total loss in 4 weeks is 6 lbs First time in YEARS I've consistently lost and also managed to get under 13 st ?

So after 2 weeks of following the SW plan and losing approx 4lbs I took the plunge and joined a class !!! Last time I tried SW I just didn't get into the swing , and although I was doing my best to follow plan there were some elements that weren't explained properly .. So I said it wasn't for...

How is this , the garlic doesn't taste too synthetic does it ????

That's a real bargain !!! I treated us to a piece of beef brisket last weekend , it was more expensive at £8 but served 6, so really good per person Cooked for 6 hours on very low ( adapted from the Jamie Oliver mothership receipe. It pulled apart with a fork and was delicious , I'm...

Thanks for your replies , I think I'm making sense of it and so far so good !! i think you are all correct having the syns Defo helps !! I'm a wine lover I ve been buying 2 of thd 175ml bottles so I have exact amounts and I'm happy with that Feeling positive and I think that's always a good...

So ... I tried SW about 4 years ago , and suffice to say didn't get my head into it !!! Decided to have another bash , and started with a low cost trial, buying the latest mag as it has a 7 day trial. Couple of questions , Can I mix up the daily menus or are the combinations meant to...
