hiya, i bought a Hellmanns Fat Free Vinagriette the other day in Sainsburys. Wasnt expecting it to be much, but i love it!! You get 2 Tbsp fir 1/2 syn, and to be honest, for me (who loves sauces!) the 2 Tbsp is plenty!!

That sounds great, I'll see if I can get some in Tesco today

Has anyone else noticed that they have better losses each week when they have more syns? I've been having the max number of 15 each day and it's really helping!

off topic, I've just noticed under my name has changed to "Serious MoneySaving Fan" and I have a little medal next to my two stars, what does that mean?!

I've been having low syns days but only because I know that if i start eating chocolate i wont stop, when I've been doing it longer and am more used to syns and freebies i'll re-introduce some of the treats and syn them. Still have pudding with the boyfriend once a week but he's on a strict diet too because he's a boxer so I never go too overboard and started picking up stuff that I can find syn values for online.

Thankyou all for your words of support(skint catt, kwickchick, nic2075, mrs mortenharket, glawejen, ice ice baby, belfastgirl, inazuma, rupe 34, flat eric and anyone i have missed) a little bit up and down at the moment but i am ready to comit to SW again to get that weight loss next week.
tonight is danger night as many of you have said so i am going to measure my wine in 25ml shots and add loads of diet lemonade to kid myself up i am having a good drink. that way i will drink far less than normal.
i am scared of extra easy, well it seems tooo easy, so i will stick to red and green as this is what i am used to
B Boiled egg, banana, ml yogurt
D Bread (HB1) chicken, banana
T havent decided yet.
going to make quorn lasagne tonight to cover some meals.
keep focused we will get there in the end

I thought that about extra easy but there's women at the class who are losing on it and the consultant was really pushing it as a good way to start off slimming world

I have to be honest. as long as I dont go overboard, im talking full 15 syns or just over some days. I also have the odd flexi-syns day. My consultant says to take your weight loss over 4 weeks rather than a week at a time as syns may catch up with you. When I did SW for the first time I wold go over by a few syns each day and still lost 3-4 lbs each week. In the weeks Im very good and stick to under 10 syns I either sts or have a small loss, but this oculd be down to the amount of exercise I do in that week.

"off topic, I've just noticed under my name has changed to "Serious MoneySaving Fan" and I have a little medal next to my two stars, what does that mean?"

you get a medal change when you go over 700 posts. it keeps changing after every few hundred.

So plan for the day is:

Breakfast - toast with banana and a cup of tea (HEb and HEa)
Snack - pineapple and some grapes
Lunch - left over SW chicken tikka with SW chips
Snack - muller light and apple
Dinner - ? not sure, steak with a big salad maybe?

It's another extra easy day.

Quick question, which salad dressing do you all use? I know there's a free one out there somewhere!

I use Kraft fat free vinegarette and Italian dressing, these are free. I sometimes just use balsamic vinegar as a dressing. Some people also mix 1 tablespoon of extra light Helmans with Fromage frais, this makes it go further but only a couple of syns
