Hi everyone!
Brand new n00b here! So glad to find an SW forum though - it's a shame there isn't one on the SW website but nevermind!
I did SW for 6 moths from Jan-July this year and lost 2 1/2 stonebut then I kinda fell of the wagon for a few months and put 11 pounds back on :mad: I've started again this week though, back at group and following EE mostly, so hopefully I can lose a stone by Christmas - counting down!
Anyway, a good replacement for bechemel/cheese sauce in lasagne is VLF cottage cheese. You dont need much, but it really does the job. Gives it a lovely cheesey taste and means you dont need too much cheese on top0 -

Apologies if I cause wide panick and confusion yesterday, I told you i was doing from memory.
And yes I think yesterday was probably a EE. i have dug the books out so i can do it properly today.

Satsuma and banana for brekkie.
Apple, snack
Tuna salad for lunch 3 syns for salad cream - i think i over did this as this is for 2 tbsp but i didn't have 2 tbsp.
2 plain be good asda rice cakes 1.5 syns each.
2 alpen lights - HE
300 ML SS MILK HE
Pack of bertolli biscuit things 6 syns

Tuna Salad same as yesterday 3 syns
Alpan light HE
300 SS Milk HE

Hi that all looks ok for EE, just watch your milk allowance, your allowed 250ml of ss, the 300ml is for skimmed. Also tonight with your fish you could add SW chips or jacket spud to fill you up even more. I love salad cream also but I use Kraft Italian light dressing for my salads now as its free and have a little bit of salad cream on the side, this could give you extra syns for that gin.so_here_we_are wrote: »Morning All

Hello everyone. I havent been on this forum for ages.
Its nice to see all the familiar posters :j:j:D:D
Im a target member now although weighed in last week 1 pound over target. Ive lost the SW mojo and old habits are creeping back in....
so trying to rethink things, try new stuff and stop munching on stuff i shouldnt!!
Anyway, I noticed when I was doing my asda home delivery shop that there are some new yogurts. Nom Naturally Light Strawberry Yogurt and Nom Naturally Light Vanilla Yogurt . The only problem is, I cant fathom if they are free or not? on the slimming world site, you have the option of nom and nom dairy uk but no matter what you type in the search box, nothing comes up!
Entering the info into the syns calculator would suggest syns but Im never sure that Im using it correctly so im not convinced!!!
Has anyone else come across these yogurts and know if they are syn free?? Many thanks0 -
last night i had two treat chocolates (6.5 syns in total) and they were my only syns all day but then i started feeling guilty for eating chocolate even though i was in my syn allowance, i need to get rid of these thoughts!
this might be a stupid question but are there syns in soothers throat sweets?0 -
Flat Eric - I believe they are synned, 1.5 syns for vanilla, 2 syns for cherry & the mango one?0
