I try and keep some low fat super noodles on standby as they are syn free! Think mug shots are too and super rice. Great to have in the cupboard for lunch when you cant think of anythin else. Also keep lots of frozen veg in at all times!

Tinned chick peas, lentils, butterbeans - any pulses really- good for salads, curries or syn free humous Also, sriracha hot sauce, and tons of herbs & spices, sauces (soy, oyster, sweet chill,) shaoxing wine, balsamic vinegar, fry lights... It's not cheap buying the store cupboard ingredients. ;-) xxx

For the first time, I've followed a sllimming world recipe today: The Perfect Beef Bourgignon. It was in September/October 2012 SW magazine (got all my old mags out from the previous time i followed the plan). It is now in the oven and smells absolutely gorgeous!!!! Very much looking forward to my tea with mash too (nom nom).

BTW, in my local Tesco, they appears to have stopped doing the normandy fromage frais which I use to buy last time round on SW. Anyone know if they've stopped this now? It was the fat free fromage frais.

PS: Bloodcovered Princess: Have you always stuck to plan since 2012? Just seen how much weight you've lost - very impressive but I'm worried that I'm gonna lose the will 6 months down the line. Any tips for us with little willpower to keep on plan ??My danger zone is 11.5 stone cus I start to look fabulous (hahaha not modest at all) and then I think I can start eating what the hell I like

I was dieting on my own for about 18 months (by healthy eating choices) but my weight loss was very slow.... I lost 38lbs in that time which is only about half a pound a week

Then I asked for a doctors referral to slimming world and my rate of loss increased... I lost 17 1/2 in the 11 weigh ins .... which is great progress for me.... So I am continuing to follow the slimming world plan.... with the help of my mini friends .... my biggest motivation is to set mini goals all the time so there is always something just in reach

I definitely agree with the tinned pulses - they bulk up any meal and are soooo filling

For sweet treats I like to have meringue nests because they're so low in syns, and also low fat ice cream. Stops me falling off the wagon!

How many syns in a nest ? Enquiring minds need to know .... wiggles eyebrows

You should have a look at the "Almost Syn Free" home made cream cheese
thread on the sw recipes section!!

I`ve used it loads of times and is really delish!!
Saves on the hexa`s!!

I just had a look at this, can you make it sweet? Might have to give it a go, I'm not a huge cream cheese fan but I'm up for trying something new

Depends which one but the Tesco finest at 2.5 per nest and they're lovely and gooey in the middle
