Lose Weight 6

Hi McLaren,

I don't know about the price of ww in the UK but in northern Ireland it cost me £14 to join (including first week's class fee) and £5.50 per week after that. I know it seems like a lot of money, but I would easily have spent £20 + every week on rubbish and takeaways. So I'm actually saving money

I've even bought one of those moneyboxes that need a tin opener to get the money out. For every 1lb I lose, I put £1 in. I see it as money towards my new wardrobe when I get to my goal weight (I have about 80lbs to lose!).

WW is £4.95 a week and i think its £10 to join but im sure its free registration at the moment

I help out so i dont have to pay but when i first joined i used to pay £4.95

Sammy115,

I've tried Tesco's and Sainsbury's brown rice and pasta. They're both equally good. Just remember that you'll have to cook them for longer before they're ready.

Once you get used to wholegrain rice and pasta you wonder why you ever ate the white stuff. It has so much more flavour.

(I wouldn't recommend wild rice though.... it takes FOREVER to cook).

hi. does anyone know this weeks password?

Consultant31 pointed out that we shouldn't be posting the SW password online and we could get shut down if we continued to do so! Sorry ...

That's right, we help and support each other so much on here that it would be such a shame for us to be closed down for the sake of a password.

Hi Consultant31,

Any chance you can help me with syns and stuff from the oven fresh at Morrisons, stuff like bacon ribs and extra tasty chicken please.

I'm really sorry Sharl, but there's nothing in my food directory and I do know that, of all the supermarkets, Morrisons seems a little backward at coming forward with info about their products. About a year ago, members of classes up and down the country were asked to bring in empty food cartons etc from Morrisons so that the nutrition team could have a go at synning some of them. We've got 'Free to Shop' books for all the other major chains but not Morrisons, sadly!
However, I would think that in the case of the chicken, as long as there's no skin or fat it should be free on the original plan (red), but the ribs are a different matter - bbq pork ribs from Asda are 5 syns (on red) for 100gms, and 7½ syns at Tesco - hope that helps a little.

I have been told that Ryvita Goodnes Bars are 2 for a HEB. However, this has yet to be verified by SW head office. Right I'm off to post some recipes on the other board. See you later!

Looking forward to those recipes consultant31 I'll be over to take a look a little later and I'll also index them to make them easier for everyone to find.

whats better, WW or SW? - ive tried to do it myself but i dont have alot of willpower. i dont smoke or drink but i do do the worst thing, chocolate "oh ill have another 1 more square" "oh ill have another 1 more square" "oh 1 more square isnt going to hurt me"

consultant31

Without a doubt I found SW to be much better than WW (my opinion only of course). I was often hungry with WW and once I'd got to target I soon found the weight creeping back on as I ate enough to feel full. With SW I'm NEVER hungry - there's always loads of food you can eat, and it's not rabbit food either.
That's not what I came back for, Cheekymole, I can't find how to post on the recipe thread, the link at the top of this thread won't work for me (told you I wasn't too good at the techy stuff!)
