Extra Easy Bits of advice needed for immobile slimmer!!!!

[foreverpink1971]

Hi, this is my first week on the slimming world plan. I had major back surgery 3 months ago so still unable to go to class. I did slimming world a few years ago so have the 2009 food directory but can't seem to find the syns for Quaker Cereal Bars - the chewee chocolate chip ones. Also does anyone know how many syns it would be to make a chilli with uncle ben's medium chilli sauce and lean mince? I'm guessing rice would be free? I did really well getting to goal previously but having been immobile although gradually improving I've gained a bit of wait I want to lose. can't do my jeans or a couple of dresses up!! Also I'm 5'3 so how many syns should I average for if I want to lose about a stone? Thanks so much for any help. Xx

Hiya, sorry to hear about your back - hope you're on the mend really soon.

The Chewee bars are 4 1/2 syns each so you're better off getting Alpen Lights as you can have two as your Healthy Extra B

I would recommend you pop "syns in .... " into Google and you'll generally find a thread on here which will give you the values. Uncle Ben's sauce would be quite high I think, but you can easily make a sauce yourself using a tin of chopped tomatoes and some herbs? Lean mince is also synned but extra lean is free. Plain boiled rice is definitely free.

I think most people find they have the best losses between 5-15 syns a day. I tend to average about 10 and it works for me.

Good luck with your journey xx

The 500g jar of sauce is 15.5 syns on all plans - definitely be worth making your own! Good luck with the plan though. I had a baby 3 weeks ago so I'm still not allowed to do any exercise so I'm with you on that count

Jarred sauces are, as people above have said, generally high in syns. There's a few recipes on here for chilli but my big tip for making home made chilli is to buy yourself a jar of ground cumin and ground coriander and add a teaspoon or more if you like it , when frying your meat, as those are the key flavours in chilli con carne
