Slimming World support thread for 2010

LearningToSave.

argh...just found out i have to add some extra syns in!!
my beef i used on monday was only lean not extra lean i could only get lean,thought it would be ok but now i know its not and will use appropriate syns (right my lean mince is 500g...but i only use 250g for a meal......28g raw says 1/2 a syn.....i/4 of 250g i make around 62g....so i'll say 1.5 syns.....sound ok?)
so questions.... are you strict with exact type of meat??
if you arent do you syn?
and where the hell can i actually but extra lean beef mince??

and bacon.....i had it yesterday...normal back bacon....cut all visible fat off and cooked on george foreman grill.....is this free or not??

Lovely recipes! Must remember to buy some Scan Bran.

Lost 2lb this week at WI, after a wedding at the weekend too - think I might pay for it next week though! Had a sad family event yesterday which has sort of put me off food for now, so heaven knows what will happen next week.

hi all

has anyone tried recipes from the last 2 magazines? i bought the one with red dress then 2 days later the new one came out so i'm trying both.

i have so far made the gammon with sunshine veg which was lovely and the oriental baked fish but used salmon instead of trout.

i've just started back on slimming world this week so thought i would try the magazine plans to help me get back in to it

also what is EE, when i last went there was only original and green days so bit confused!

thanks

Well done with your weight loss.:T It's four packs of butter:):):):) as my SW consultant says and sorry :(to hear that you are on the misery diet. My friend lost 5 st on that two years ago.

As long as you used no oil (or frylite) then yes the bacon is free

With regards to the mince then if I get lean and drain off all the fat then I tend to count it as free BUT I don't believe that is official SW guidelines.

Am i wrong in saying that Scan bran has gone up to 1syn per slice instead of 1/2 syn? If it is 1 syn, then surely the recipes have a wrong syn value?
I just wanted to make sure before i start making the recipes!

izzabellesmummy, i tried the fish pie from the new magazine, but without the eggs (i had none) and i put mushrooms in the sauce for an extra twist and spring onions/mustard powder/ fromage frais in the potato, it was gorgeous, but be careful in the oven as mine bubbled over and had to spend the rest of the night cleaning it!!!

Morning all

What a beautiful day! I am still on Easter Hols - (work in a school and lucky enough to work term time only) so off to visit my sis today. She has sorted out her wardrobe i am going to pick through before the charity shop gets a look in:D

Havent thought about my food for the day yet. I have some fresh tuna in the fridge so will do that with salad tonight apart from that not sure. I have plenty of good stuff in the cupboards so I should be ok.

Consultant i am doing body optimise online so do not have the opportunity to buy scan bran while at a class - could I substitute it for All Bran perhaps?

I did the fish pie yesterday for supper. I made it with a carrot and swede topping (red day) and it was lovely. In fact i have left overs so could have that for lunch! Todays food is sorted

I am mummy to an Isabelle too :j

Well back from WI even though I was planning to skip this week and next, and have lost 2lbs over 2 weeks...for at least 7 days I was not on plan at all so who knows, maybe it was just the variety that's kick started my metabolism again, going to stick to it this week and see if I continue on this path or whether it's just a fluke. 1.5lb off my stone award currently though. I'm off out for a couple of cocktails tonight, literally a couple, and after I have 2 I think i'll move onto diet coke, so not having any syns through the day today.

Hey all,

I was wondering if you had room for another (not-so) little one?

I did Slimming World last year and lost 2 stone, my target was being bridesmaid at my brothers wedding, and stupidly once that was over the diet went out the window! I managed ok up until Christmas by just being sensible, but since Jan I've put a full stone back on again! :eek:

I'm a student just now, so can't really afford to go back to the classes - so I wondered if I could join back in with your happy little gang?

I half heartedly started yesterday (izzabellesmummy - I tried the pan seared scallops with potatoes last night from this months mag - it was delicious!! And we used frozen Scallops from Asda so wasn't as expensive as you'd think!).

I'm struggling a bit with my plan for today, but so far it's looking like:

Breakfast:

2 Weetabix (HEB) with Semi-SKimmed milk (HEA)
Grapefruit segments with 2 tblspoons of fat free nat yog (free)

Lunch:

Tomato Soup (Made myself so it's free)
Salad with cold meat (free)

Dinner:

Chilli Chicken Kievs (Free + HEB)

Here's where I'm stuck though - can anyone suggest anything I could have with the Kiev's that's free on a red day? I was thinking some kind of Vegetable mash, but I wasn't sure what? and maybe corn on the cob.

Any ideas would be muchly appreciated!
