Oh right, I will double check tonight but our consultant told us 3 slices of WW malted danish was one HEB, which is why i buy that rather than standard 400g loaf as you only get 2 slices of that.

I got it from someones blog, scrolldown to 'health extra's rant' to see what she says about it.

I wonder if anyone can help me ,?

I have just been on the sw site and looked at the recipes ,
I have found a "spicy apple cake" recipe but it contradicts itself .

It says , cut into 8 portions.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]INFORMATION[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][SIZE=-2][/SIZE][/FONT]Unless stated, for Extra Easy count the lower Syn value.
5 Syns on Green choice
5 Syns on Original choice
5 Syns on Extra Easy
Serves 4


so I dont know if its to make into 8 or 4 @ 5 syns each
5 syns

Hmm I look at it that it's 5 syns for 2 slices??

Can I ask, does everyone here go to a SW class? I did SW about a year ago but got fed up with the classes (and I tried a few in the area). I really want to lose weight and wonder if anyone does SW and just gets support from this forum? I've bought the latest magazine and am a bit confused by the extra easy thing but I really want to give it a try.

Hi I use this one and http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/ which has a dedicated SW forum, if there is a question you have about SW there are LOADS of people on there who can help, and there are loads of recipie ideas, and info about EE x

Ok peeps, doing OK on day 1 (lol) but my Approved Food order just arrived & I could do with a couple more syn values.....can you see where I'm going with this??:D

If possible, syn value for pkts of Wheat crunchies: in 25g bags, worcester sauce, crispy bacon & spicy tomato?

And Buderim crystallised ginger nibbles: 79cal per 25g serving, less than 1g fat TIA if you can help, promise not to ask any more favours....today

I will be starting back at class tomorrow because however hard I try I can't do it on my own - I cheat in a small way then it goes down hill. They do say that 90% of members who don't stay to the class (i.e. weigh and go or do it themselves) never reach target.

:beer: Congratulations MIRRY & RETIREDLADY - you have both done brilliant!! :beer:

retiredlady

Thanks everybody! Good luck at class Skint_Catt, I wouldn't be able to do it on my own either. I always stay to class although it can get a little boring at times! Do you guys notice in class that there are always one or two people who dominate the conversation during the session? They want to discuss everything they have and have not eaten and how they felt and thought at the time. Poor old consultant trys to move on to someone else but some members don't let go of the limelight very easily:rotfl: Meanwhile the rest of us are sitting in our semi circle trying not to fall asleep :rotfl:

was trying to think of something tasty to do int he SC I could grab for lunches.

I copied this last year and tried it in my SC and it was lovely:

Cut up beef and seal in a pan using Frylight
in the slowcooker I used
passata
1 can of chopped tomatoes
yellow pepper
carrots
celery
swede
leeks
onion
garlic
and threw in some left over cauliflower and broccoli

and left it to cook!
It was really nice and I also used my other A choice H/E and put 1 oz of cheddar on top.

Or just use whatever is looking a bit pathetic at the back of the veg drawer in your fridge

wow marion that is an amazing weight loss :j

I think affirmations are so important for weight loss ,
I found a great one on youtube that I watch,
basically you repeat it to yourself everyday .

have you got a link to the affirmation on youtube? thanks

mirry

catt , I'm a online member and I think its possible to go it alone ,
I think it all depends on how badly you want it. I find it helps to keep a photo of myself on the fridge :eek:. lol.

I made The spicy apple cake , omg its AMAZING @ 5 syns a slice.
Am I allowed to post the recipe here ?
