Hi 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil is a HEb, but you can get olive oil flavoured fry light which would free allowing you to use your HEb for something else x

Extra easy is where you can have the free food from your red and green days in the same meal, but a 1/3 of your plate must be from the super free food list and you can only have 1 hea and 1 heb, hope that helps :) Weigh in today, have lost 2.8lb so chuffed with that :) :) :B

Is a bacon joint free on an original day ?, usually do green days but love bacon :)

Slimming world kebab, wedges, beans & salad. Very tasty, the other half is taking the leftover kebab in a sandwich for work tomorrow lol

Also doing this myself from home, have been to group in the past, but having budget as saving for our wedding :p I tend to do green days as I struggle with the 1/3 plate sff on extra easy as I'm not a salad lover, so far so good, live all the support and ideas on this site :)

Hi all, does anyone know if the muller light fat free Turkish delight flavour are syn free and also the piri piri flavour mug shots, thanks

So, I tend to do green days and substitute the meat for quorn options or use meat from my heb list. I like the idea of extra easy but I'm not a lover of salad so I seem to come a bit unstuck on the 1/3 plate sff food part, I seem to have mushrooms all the time which gets boring, does anyone...

My fave drink is cider which is horrendous on the syns :cry: So currently drinking martini extra dry with diet coke.

They all add up x

Sts for me :(

Put 1/2 on this week, but expected it, as I've had cider and several other naughty things during bonfire night so my stats are now:- 7lbs lost 14lb to go. Please can I be updated :)

Well 1/2 gain for me this week, expected though as went out bonfire night had full fat sausages, fried onions, white bread baps and several ciders, and other naughty things so hey ho back on track this week and hope for a loss next week.

There is nothing wrong with wanting your partner to text when they say they will, I disagree that you are being needy as you are not saying you want him to txt you all night long so when he doesnt txt would make me peeved too, its nice to know that your loved one is thinking of you. You need to...

Martini extra dry with ice and diet coke tastes really nice, sounds odd I know but it is nice and you can have a double 50ml for 2.5 syns, I tend to have 25ml in a half pint glass with diet coke to make my syns go further or have a couple of doubles then go onto to singles, plus at the moment...

Thxs

Hey all I'm using my iPad so can't copy and paste all the above, can someone update me. I've lost 0.5lbs this week so I am now 7.5lbs down 13.5lb to go. Thanks :)

Well done. I've only lost 1/2lb this week, but then I haven't been very strict with my syns so down to 12st 6lb now.

Only 1/2lb off, but I haven't been very strict with my syns so a loss is a loss.

Cottage pie, my recipe but sw friendly, will add some cheese into the mash from my hea - yum yum. :)

Does anyone know if you can you sweet potatoes as a hex-b on a red day or do you have to syn them. Thxs.

Your allowed to be upset if you've had bad news, and if 2morro wi isn't what you hoped for just put it behind you and get back on track (sorry you had bad news, hope ur ok).

Don't worry to much, just wait till thursday this happened to me last week but when I got to my Thursday wi I was fine and had a loss.

I have my wi on Thursday, so will let you know my updated results.

You'll get there.

12st 6lb now :):):):):):):):):)

How do you make the nachos?

Just need to add a bit of tomato purée next time then perfect - here it is :-

I put the cheese spread into a pan first to heat it up so it was creamy and then easy to spread on the lasagne sheets - really nice I was making the lasagne for two so use 240g, so my share was equal to 2 hea so then I didn't need to syn it.

Creating my own lasagne, made by own Tom sauce of chopped tomatoes mix with onion granules, garlic salt and Italian herb seasoning and for the cheese sauce I'm using the lo lo cheese spread.

Ooh can't wait to try this I love cheese based sauces might try making a lasagne using this as an alternative white sauce.

Wahoo lost 3.5lbs this week which means I've got my 1/2 stone award, down to 12st 6.5lbs now :)

3.5lbs off for me, wahoo and I've got my 1/2 stone reward, good luck everyone :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thxs, will give it a go, stupid question ive only ever bought ready made so when doing it this way do you use a specific rice?

How many syns is the low low or can you use so much as a hea?

Whats the syn free rice pudding ?

I just didnt know where the Kara stuff would be cause ive never tried it or seen it, the amoy coconut milk was in the curry sauce aisle.

Glad ur feeling a bit more positive xx

Savoury mince, mash potato, parsnips, gravy.

I do agree with this post, when I'm not with my oh we don't txt, other than if I said I would be home by such and such time and then I knew It would be later, with us he knows if I txt or he texts me is because something has happened, my oh told me that one of the reasons he loves me is because...

I've joined sw online and the step by step guide for ee does state 1/3 plate must be superfree, but when I click on the step by step guide for green it doesn't mention it, it just says use any food from the superfree or free food list no mention that a 1/3 must be superfree, I've tried ee and...

Before I moved in with my other half, we never use to txt between visits we would speak on the phone at night if we were not seeing each other, the only thing I would say to you is this something he used to do but doesn't now. But the last post sounds quite true in that he will be thinking...

500g ripe tomatoes 4 garlic cloves, peeled 4 red chillies, deseeded (optional) 2cm cube of root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 6-8 tbsp sweetener 50ml balsamic vinegar Dice half of the tomatoes. Place the remaining whole tomatoes in a food processor along with the garlic, red chillies and...

I put all ingredients in the pan and left it to simmer on a low to medium heat till the vinegar had almost all reduced which took just short of two hours I put my peppers and onion in a stock pan and added the vinegars so the liquid was level with them but not covering them.

I follow sw online and 1/3 superfree applies to mainly extra easy, the green day plan (which I follow) your food can be made up of any combination of super free and free food it does not have to be a minimum of 1/3 super free. I agree that info on here should be as accurate as possible my info...

I'm not a lover of chickpeas but I do love sweet potatoes.

Sw chips, bacon and peppered steak pieces with sw tomato and chilli jam with cheese plus a dollop of sw pepper and onion chutney on the side. Happy days :)

Cool, thxs for that. You could do quorn chicken style pieces.

Thxs

You could pay to go to the class for one week, so you get all your food lists, if you need a syn value for something or a sw recipe just type it in google, plus this website has lots of threads ( you probably know this but on Wednesday of your meal plan you would have to syn the sausages ).

Made this today and its gorgous. :)

HEa. Cheese HEb bacon HEb steak (Doing green days)

A few martinis' for me well 7 x 25ml size to be exact lol = 8.75 syns.

I do add some sf food into my cooking, but doesn't fill 1/3 of the plate, 1/3 super free only applies to ee as on the original and green you are limiting either your carb or protein intake.

Where do you get the kara coconut milk from, I got the Amoy reduced fat coconut milk as I couldn't find the kara, but when I did the syns online for it, it came out at 23 syns.

Here are mine just out the oven - yum yum - happy days.

At least you still lost and I'm sure we will both be in the 11s' during 2012 :)

Started sw 3 weeks ago at 12st 13.5lbs, have weighed myself this morning and am now 12st 8lb, so chuffed I'm moving in the right direction at last.

My dish I enjoy at wetherspoons is the piri piri chicken skewers with a side order of rice.

Brought this for the first time today but don't really know what to do with it, any ideas please?

My other half loves sw chips when I do them like I do as mixing the fry light and seasoning together then tossing chips in them makes them go lovely and golden.

I know what you mean, it just doesn't work for me, I like my green days as I will make my lunch veggie by using quorn instead of meat and I will save a hex b for my evening meal to have meat.

Basically the superfree foods fill you up with minimal calorie intake, so when you fill your plate a third full you are reducing the overall calorie content of your meal without having to weigh or measure foods. I like the green days as I struggle with the 1/3 plate food thing as I don't do...

Just put this together as I needed to use up some peppers and onions. Bell peppers finely chopped (i used mainly yellow and a couple of green ones), white onions finely chopped, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, sweetener, splash of nutmeg, splash of dried thyme, splash of garlic and chilli...

I buy the marabel potatoes as they already have a soft rich texture and I don't need to boil them first, I basically cut them into my desired shapes ie wedges, little cubes thick chips or thin chips, then I spray fry light into a bowl sprinkle into the bowl my desired spice respray with fry...

Bolognaise with sw chips instead of pasta and 2 lots of hex cheese sprinkled on top.

I do green days, as I can't do the 1/3 plate superfood thing and it works for me.

Peppered steak slices, with cheese and sw onion chutney in toasted bread, with sw chips and sw tomato and chilli jam.

This is so tasty, thxs

Thank you

I made sw friendly pork burgers last night and my other half loved them, enjoy your burgers :)

Can anyone give me the recipe for the above please :)

2.5lb loss for me, really chuffed, the support from this forum has helped, thxs everyone B-)

Yes it's got vegetable oil, so the syn value makes sense now.

I've just done it online I included the free food for the noodles bit, but it still seems high as it came out at 8.5 syns.

4 syns for 25ml

Have bought from asda today naked noodle chilli beef flavour noodle soup, (dry noodles in a box, add water to them), do I need to syn them or will they be free like some of the mugshots. ?

Fry in fry light 2 onions, 2 peppers, mushrooms, ( I then seasoned whilst frying with dry Italian herbs - optional), then add meat or quorn if you want you don't have to. Add 2 tins chopped tomatoes and 2 tins baked beans and simmer for 5 - 10 mins to heat through. Layer mixture with lasagne...

Going to try smash pizza for the first time :)

Leave out the white cabbage, eggs and fresh mint. Use the other ingredients to make mince beef kheema and serve it with sw chips. (The kheema is basically curry flavour mince and it tastes gorgous) ;)

I tried the baked bean lasagne last night, my other half and me loved it and it made enough for four good size portions, and you can buy smart price for all the ingredients so makes it cheap to. :)

What's the recipe for this please, it sounds interesting. Sorry ignore this, just seen it a few posts earlier.

This sounds nice, gonna try it

This sounds nice, going to add the ingredients to my shopping list :)

Ooh I will try this too, did the other recipe but not sure if I like it, I need to tweak it as it didn't taste tomatoey enough for me.

Thank you.

I make the syn free BBQ sauce and add that to baked beans to make bbq beans, they taste lovely :)

Do you have to syn the philli ?

Cod wrapped in Parma ham, sw chips and mushy peas :)

Just start a fresh tomorrow, we've all been there, don't feel disheartened tomorrow is a brand new day :)

And get to have cake. Work out how many syns the cake is then set yourself a flexi day limit, then do success express the next day to stay on track.

1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil is a hexB.

What are you serving the sauce with ?

Thank you, will give it a go. :)

Ketchup

Thxs everyone, feeling good about the week ahead so fingers crossed. :)

Does anyone have the recipe for syn free tomato sauce please.

If you use marabel potatoes from asda you don't need to boil them first as they are quite soft, I usually put Cajun spice or whatever spice flavour I fancy in a bowl spray the spice with fry light then toss the potatoes in the bowl till they are covered and ovenbake for about 25 mins or longer...

This sounds yummy, and have all the stuff lying around so can't wait to try it. :B

I love this, so thought I'd share it. Fry in fry light mushrooms, peppers, spring onion and quorn chicken pieces (or chicken from heb). Add ground ginger and light soy sauce. Add rice noodles. When serving sprinkle cheese (hea). Lovely :) M M

Hey everyone, gonna join this thread if that's ok as Thursday is my weigh in day and last Thursday I gained 1/2lb so thought this might give me some extra motivation. Goodluck for next Thursday everyone.

Ok so redone this using info you say, my apologies didn't realise you could deduct food on the calculator still getting used to it, it comes out at 11.5 syns for the chicken and 2.5 syns for the rice.

That's the syns what came up on the sw website using the nutrional information for the whole dish, and I know you could deduct off the chicken etc but then they may have cooked it with oil.

Stay away from cider a 568ml bottle (koppaberg and Stella Artois size) is 14 syns, unfortunately cider is my fave tipple lol.

BBQ chicken 24.5 syns and the rice 8.5 syns.

I like using my syns to have an alcoholic drink, gone try martini now I know you can have 50ml for 2.5syns, most spirits tend to be 25ml for 2.5syns, going to have it with diet lemonade in a tall glass to make it a long drink. My fave beverage is cider but its 14 syns for 568ml bottle.
