I've got mince marinating for donner kebab tonight, can't wait!

Well that's good news! I've not done KFC with Cous Cous, always stuck to my HEB of bread

Hate auto correct!!! Duck egg, not dug egg :)

That should say fromage frais not fraud!! Dug egg omelette for lunch, really whipped it so very light and fluffy, with HEA of cheese, full to bursting!

Duck egg omelette with my HEA of cheese and pea shoot salad, stuffed!!!!

Is using Cous Cous as a coating classed as food abuse? Guessing probably yes...

We had these last night and they were amazing. I added water until it was about the thickness of thick pancake batter. Once the pan was really hot, sprayed it with fry lite and spread out a ladle full as thinly as I could. They cooked quickly, and I found I preferred them once they were fairly...

My phone hasn't been letting me upload, but had a good couple of days, photo of my syn free carbonara, and also had syn free fajitas last night, forgot to photo, but made the mung bean wraps which were surprisingly good, fat free fromage fraud instead of sour cream and lots of veg :)

Thank you! It's taken 3 Saturday nights of feeling terrible to accept I need to avoid it, so glad there are substitutes out there :)

Will have to investigate when I go do the shopping later :)

I seem to have developed an intolerance to aspartame, feel sick and dizzy after having drinks containing it. Does anyone else find this, and does anyone know if there are any diet drinks that don't use this? Really don't want to never have a syn free diet drink!

Yep, had a little bowl all to myself, was great and did the same last night. Really deals with the nibble urge

For last night I had some butterkist sweet popcorn, and only ate 2.5 syns worth of it, so actually had a day when I kept to my 10 syns...yay!!! Shaking things up with breakfast today, having blueberries on my wheatabix :)

Thank you :)

I never realised so many people were with me last week, and I really caved :( Put on more than I am happy about, and actually scared myself in to behaving. Today has been a great day, this was lunch Im back :)

Photo of dinner

Think May need to transfer to a green day, don't think I have a third super free with my dinner, and got no fresh fruit or veg left in the house. Dinner is black bean burgers with a kind of pepper salsa thing I concocted, and burger sauce, using 1 tbsp light mayo, mustard and some ketchup. Syns...

tuna pasta with pea shoots and mango to follow, so tasty

Lunch Left over tuna pasta from last night, ingredients were: 1 onion 1 red pepper 2 cloves of garlic Tin of tomatoes Tin of Tuna Tablespoon of sweetcorn Handful of spaghetti Tablespoon of extra light philli That has done 4 portions, and for lunch I added extra cherry tomatoes, pea shoots and...

Hate my stomach, my arms and my flabby face, have had my light bulb moment and no way I am carrying on like this. I've said it before, but mean it this time, So EE day today, which I'm not great at, but giving it a shot. Breakfast Wheatabix (HEB), 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 HEA of semi-skimmed milk...

She's so much better, been about 9 years now, but working as a physio again and does so much.

Was a pig, 2 quorn steaks, huge load of chips and a tasty sauce of low fat mayo, mustard and gherkin :) got cherries and strawberries for later

Hi daisy and welcome I just wanted to say my sister has m.e. so know all the issues you face. Hope you are on the road to recovery and SW works well for you x

Does anyone have a quick, easy, low syn recipe for mac cheese? It's so cold today, I may change my dinner to that...only syns had so far are for tsp of sugar and some ainsley Cous Cous, do lots to play with

Think it will be quorn steaks with chips and salad, after another hours walk on the beach. Pudding and snack of berries and choc Philly :) will upload once it's made

Grilled chicken, half an ainsley Cous Cous pack (not sure syns) pea shoots and water to drink

Can't upload photo but having 2 peaches and another coffee to get me through to lunch, and my litre bottle of water for the morning :)

I bought lots of little fruit last night do I can do the same, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, and have got some of the chocolate Philly to dip them in if I feel the need :)

Breakfast today, HEB of wheatabix, half my HEA of milk, tsp of sugar, peach and coffee

I love that idea!!! Will start that when I get home tonight :)

Will do a menu and snack plan tonight, and will try and do long slow walks with the dog to keep me busy. Need to look up these square pizza things, not tried them yet :)

I like the idea of telling him how much I lose! Not going to group at the moment as pretty skint, but will use the forum. Treat box will be made up tonight :)

My OH is away for a week, and I struggle when alone. I always reach for the takeaway menu or nip to the shop and buy crisps or sweets. Mostly it's because I hate cooking for one, but also I don't have him around to see how much rubbish I am eating, his being around stops my binges. Any...

I'm fishing mine back out this week again, and doing a fast half hour walk to and from work each day, and another hours slow dog walk, so hopefully it should help. Not sure what parts of the wii fit to focus on though...

Just tried this, but couldn't get it to go smooth, will see how it tastes in a bit! At least they are tiny lumps :)

You are not alone in any way. As others have said, I am happy to buddy up with you and help you in any way I can xx

Ok, trying to look at this quickly at work, not going to happen! No lunch with me today, can get to a small co-op which doesn't have mug shots, salad boxes or pasta n sauce. Not sure if they have wholemeal pitta, but looking for ideas, I have access to a microwave and toaster. Thanks, sorry...

Got the last of my pasta quiche, but didn't have time to pack anything else, so will pop to the shop and hopefully get strawberries or blueberries and a packet of quavers

Don't know why it says red!!! Green or EE day

Planned dinner is a disaster! What can I get from morrisons that is free on extra easy or green. Needs to be quick and easy Thanks in advance!

SW pasta quiche with onions and wild garlic, huge punnet of strawberries and a Freddo as I need chocolate at lunch!

How about roasting some veg with frylight and a splash of balsamic vinegar, then mix that through? Or leftover chicken, or anything else really

Can you taste the smash on the goujons? I made the smash pizza once and couldn't eat it, but this sounds good!

I allowed myself to fall in to this trap when I was doing serious training, and by allowing myself more syns to compensate for all the energy spent, I managed to train for a marathon and not lose a pound. Moral is stick to your syn allowance and watch the weight drop off, exercise or no...

Good luck and enjoy it, you should definitely get into the 14s by tyour holiday

Wow!!! That's amazing well done

And the result is.....1lb off. Pleased with that as I was terrible at the start of the week.

Not been too bad over the weekend, lots of super free, but given the start to the week j had, I hope for either a stay the same or 1lb off, fingers crossed and good luck Monday WI people!!

Had this at a picnic yesterday, it was brilliant!

I had such a good day yesterday, feeling much more positive. We had a picnic sitting under the shade of trees in a secluded cove beside the River Dee. We had SW pimms in plastic champagne flutes, skinless grilled chicken, pepper slices in balsamic vinegar, strawberries and peaches. Then at...

That's brilliant, thanks, still enough syns for a cheeky wee G&T at the BBQ then!

Am I right in thinking that the reduced fat ones can be used as a HE? Can't remember and left my book at home. Having a red day, used 1 HEA & HEB so far, was thinking that humous could be another with my left over carrot sticks. If not, it's just plain carrots for me :)

Having a red day today because of a BBQ tonight, so just had some chicken and some carrot sticks...got strange looks from the people sharing my table in the garden, but it worked for me. I did have a happy hippo though, no idea of the syns...

I might need something like this! I have been WI on a Monday

Think I might make up a batch of this for over the weekend

If only the sea wasn't so damned cold I could go swimming for free!! I might try and work next months budget a little...

I don't think it has helped that I trained for the london marathon, so was running 15+ miles a week, and could basically eat anything and not gain too much, but injured my foot on the day, so can't do any real walking or running, driving to work instead of walking every day etc. I'm trying to...

THat might be an idea, do all doctors do it?

No need to reply to this, just think I will feel better if I can write it all down. This morning I went to put on an office suitable summer dress and it wouldn't even nearly do up. I have had to fish out my fat clothes just so I can be comfortable. I have fat hanging over, and feel horrible, my...

I'm aiming to get down under 12st next, hopefully by my sisters birthday in a month, 6lbs so should be achievable

Whoops, that'll teach me to trust a quick Internet search!

Think it's 3.5 syns?

It might sound an odd question, but does anyone know a nice tinned ham? I have never used this before, but it would be good to have in the cupboard for a quick pasta dish. Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the ideas. I had meant to make soup or Cous Cous for lunch but totally forgot, doing that first thing when I get home. I know I can do it, the marathon taught me that, just need to believe in myself again X

I like that quote too. I know this is all in my head, writing it down helps cement that fact in my brain. Will have another apple, I should be ok on the drinking front, well on my way to my 2nd litre of water for the day. The good news is I didn't go out to the shop :)

I started back on SW this morning, and am struggling already. So far I've had wheatabix for breakfast, a full tub of blueberries, a dolmio pasta pot thing and an apple. I know what the problem is, for the last few months I was marathon training and pretty much ate what I wanted, so lunch would...

I didn't manage to make my Cous Cous, popped in to the local shop to my work, but only thing I could see we're the dolmio snack pot things with 2 tubs, one with pasta and one with sauce. Are these high, and if so, any recommendations?

I feel like that too, you are not alone on that one. Xx

I had a stomach operation last summer and it forced me to think about how I eat. I also just shovel it down, but now have to take my time or it gets stuck and I have real pain. I love good food, so do tend to go a bit overboard.

Think I will mostly have green days due to only normally having a tiny amount of meat. I am starting in the morning and do far my plan is: Breakfast- 2 wheatabix, teaspoon of caster sugar (1 syn) , skimmed milk Snack-grapes, blueberries, apple Lunch: Dolmio Pasta Vita pot (3.5 syns) Dinner...

Can I join you, just found out I am going to Italy the first week of August, so want to lose at least 1.5 stone by then!

Definitely adding this one too!!

This sounds amazing, wish I'd seen it before I went to buy all my SW things for the week!

I've hit that level again, the one where I hate what I see and have to accept that I'm not imagining things, my clothes are tighter :( I did slimming world last year and lost 1.5 stone, but it is all back on. I blame my redundancy and having to move city to get a new job, and finally living...
