I put the values per 100g and then at the end put the burger or sausage weight (80g or 47.5g) - not sure if that's right or not????

Fantastic !!!! Well done for such a great start - keep it up xx

Hope you're ready for the bad news Kel??? Have just checked all nutritional value on the Fry's website and then used the syn calculator on SW website 1 chicken burger = 7 syns 1 traditional sausage = 3 syns 1 hot dog = 6 syns 1 traditional burger = 6 syns I'm not sure which brand of veggie...

I'll have a look Kel and get back to you. I had read somewhere that Fry's sausages were free but when I worked out the syn value online they were quite high (i only count 1½ syns per sausage cuz that's the general value for veggie sausages)

How did you get on Princess?

Weigh in today and very happy with my 6lb off. Short term goal was to lose 1stone by 1st August for my hols and I'm well on track for that now! Only had time for dinner today but hopefully back to normal tomorrow I love brussels sprouts but nobody else in the house does - thought I'd try the...

Its hard to describe quinoa - i dont find it as tasty as couscous. My first experience with it was a few years ago while I was doing Gillian McKeith's diet - she makes a quinoa porridge and unfortunately mine ended up in the bin. Its supposed to be packed with protein so I'm gonna hang on in...

Glad you're enjoying the diary and I look forward to hearing your favourites from AFR. I made the brussells sprouts bubble and squeak type thing tonight and it was gorgeous - had it with some vegan sausages and mushrooms Thanks Kel, they actually got worse but I had a fantastic 6lb weight...

Hey Sarah, how is your first week going?????

Green Onions - Booker T and the MGs

Live and let die - Guns n Roses

Back again after a very traumatic weekend with teenage daughter - I've managed to stay on track and not reach for the crisps and biscuits. Yesterday's dinner was a bit of a disaster - I tried the quinoa and kale stew out of AFR book although I did substitute spring greens for the kale. I'm...

Just found this thread, woop for Birmingham - I'm from Great Barr

Kel, have you tried looking on Vegetarian Restaurants, Vegan Restaurant, Natural Health Food Stores Guide by HappyCow Enter the area you live in and it will give you a list of all the vegan friendly places to eat.

The weight of the world - Roxette

I thought the wine was a bit iffy - we have a co-op at the top of our road which is really handy. I love how they clearly label all of their stuff if its suitable for vegans and their own brand household stuff is vegan approved too! Pity all supermarkets weren't that good. I've got a copy of...

Hi Princess, well done on joining SW and finding support on here. I've been vegan since Easter and agree its the best thing I ever did - most of the recipes in Appetite for Reduction are SW friendly and sooooooooo yummy! My local Chinese cook with vegetable oil and I only go for things like...

Still trying to work out how this forum works! Not sure that I can subscribe to anyone until I have 50 posts - then I can follow you all :happy036:

Thanks for the info - I'll have to work out the syn value now and start counting it - boooo! I'm actually loathe to use wine as I'm not too sure on the fermentation process - I'm not a wine drinker and only buy the single measure bottles from Asda just for that one recipe. May have to find an...

First week done and dusted with 3lb gone forever! Was hoping for more but I guess I'll have to find something else on HExB to replace all of the bread I've eaten. Here is today's food: Breakfast: melon, blueberries, banana, 75ml soya yoghurt (2syns) Lunch: nothing as I was out shopping for...

I tried to calculate Linda McCartney sausages and Fry's sausages using SW calculator and couldnt do it. I think I've put 1½ syns per sausage on my diary. If only the chicken burgers were free lol :bliss:

Goodness Direct sell fresh edamame?? I can only get it dried like a nut in Asda or in a prepacked salad which I think has a non vegan dressing. I love NY too, use it over pasta dishes instead of parmesan and in mash potato too. The Fry's sausages are better than Linda McCartney ones I think...

Kel, I've used AFR for the past 2-3 weeks and its the only book I use now - mainly because most of the recipes appear to be low syn if not syn free. I've only been a vegan since Easter this year and have never been so excited about food. I started by getting a load of processed stuff from the...

Tomorrow is my first weigh-in with SW, I remain convinced that I've put weight on with all of the bread I seem to have eaten this week plus 2 lots of SW chips! Today's food has been: Breakfast: 1 choc weetabix (4syns), 250ml rice milk (HExA), strawberries, banana Lunch: Leftover black bean...

I'm sure its changed a lot since 2000 which is when I was last there. Would love to go back one day soon! Hi Kel, which of Isa's books did you order? I still can't get over how tasty her recipes are, even my kids love them. Hey Vanda, welcome! - Are you vegetarian now? I went straight from...

Made the huge mistake of getting on the scales today and to my horror I was 2lb heavier than last week! Hopefully I will have actually lost something by the time Wednesday morning weigh in comes round. Still no exercise but have ordered 30 day shred which will probably sit with the other...

Yes it is - been there twice and its my most favourite place on earth (not that I've been everywhere on earth yet)

Have really amazed myself this weekend -having had a pretty crappy time with people really taking the mick I've actually stuck to plan and not reached for the crisps and biscuits! Still lacking motivation to exercise and also keep forgetting to drink gallons of water but its early days and...

Having read a few other forums it appears there are a few countries that have it in abundance. It would seem that since Quorn has cornered the market here in the UK there is no room on supermarket shelves for tempeh/tofu/seitan products :grumble:

As far as I know they don't have it in Holland & Barrett or in Asda - which is where I mostly shop. Maybe try a Chinese supermarket or online? Tempeh is another produce made from soya but I've never used it and would have to read up on how to cook it too.

Let me know how you get on with it!

You're most welcome - I actually thought the recipes were going to be so dull and boring but I have been pleasantly surprised. As its an American book you may find it easier to buy a set of measuring cups (Asda do them really cheap). Its much easier than trying to convert all of the measurements.

Only on day 4 of SW and not missing stuff at the moment :happy036: Food for yesterday: Beakfast: 2 wholemeal toast (HExB), baked beans, mushrooms fried in fry light, brown sauce 1 syn, 250ml rice milk (HExA) Lunch: homemade syn-free falafels, mixed salad, 20 cashew nuts (HExB), Asda light...

So, having just joined Slimming World and being baffled by the amount of food I can eat, I thought I'd post my food diary. ALL of my food is vegan and the syn values quoted are for green days. Please feel free to comment or ask questions and as I'm new to SW, if I've made mistakes then please...
