**Happy New Slimming World Year**

majjak

I'm back and I'm 3.5lb lighter :j:j:j. Only my first week though so a loooooooong way to go yet !

I'd say if you can get to a class then go. It's the only thing that keeps me, personally, on the straight and narrow. I know I wouldn't do it properly if I didn't have that thought about getting weighed the following week .

I had to go to a meeting in Norwich yesterday so was able to stop off at the biggest Sainsbury's I have ever been to. It reminded me of the enormous supermarkets in the US.
I managed to get:
the WW bread that is THREE slices for a HEB
Clover Lighter - gotta check the syns, but has been recommended as the nicest low fat spread.
Laughing cow deli- light blue cheese
Be Good to Yourself soft cheese - this has less calories than Philli extra light, and is on offer, so 100g as a HEB on a green day.
Goats Cheese babybel
and lots of own brand smash.
Not sure if I want to keep buying all these little wrapped cheeses, but I have seen lots of nice looking recipes recently using them, so I am going to try them and see if I think they are worth it.
Some great losses tonight - well done :T

I am probably being really stupid, but can't find the syns for Clover lighter on syns online. I can't find a manufacturer or brand on the packet other than clover, but the search box brings up nothing when I enter it. Does anyone know the syns for a tablespoon?
Food for today (green):
1 HEA for milk in tea and coffee
B: 2x WW bread toasted (part HEB) and 1/2 tablespoon clover light (an overestimate, must measure it properly tomorrow)syns ?
Snacks: loads of grapes and satsumas
L: Brocolli and blue cheese soup from here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/173489-honeys-recipes.html#post2909114
I had an enormous portion so I am counting 3 syns
1 slice of WW bread
Options hot chocolate 2 syns
Snacks: more fruit and a packet of snack a jacks salt and vinegar 4 1/2 syns, fibre plus bar (HEB), 3x babybel light (HEA)
Dinner: Vegetarian Pad Thai - all free
Seems like a huge amount - I love green days!
So I make that 2x HEA 2xHEB 9.5 syns plus the mystery of the clover lighter.

Lil_Me, I just had a look at all the work you have done on the recipe thread. Really impressive, thank you!
What do you think about posting recommended recipes on there (with a link)? I was thinking of the blue cheese and brocolli soup recipe. Or do you just want the actual recipes?

Hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a while, you're all doing so well!

I've been on the plan for a couple of months now and have lost about 11lbs, another 15lbs to go before I reach a healthy BMI. I'm not going to meetings, but have a few books and search online for syn values. I think it might keep me motivated if I start putting up my food diaries. I generally do green days cos I find they fill me up nicely.

Today:
2 weetabix, skim milk (HEA), sugar (1 syn)
2 apples, fresh pineapple
Wholemeal toast (HEB), light spread (2 syns), 2 poached eggs, ketchup (0.5 syns)
3 Quorn southern style strips (4.5 syns), spaghetti hoops, sweet potato wedges
Fibre Plus bar (HEB)
total=8 syns

Tomorrow (need to eat more fruit and veg!):
Porridge (HEB), skim mik (HEA), sugar (1 syn)
Quorn sausages, rice, chopped peppers and tomatoes
2 apples, pineapple
HM salmon fishcakes (HEB), mushy peas
Fibre plus bar (5.5 syns)
Total=6.5 syns

I don't usually eat quorn but I found the sausages and southern strips in Iceland for £1 a bag. The strips are yummy and only 1.5 syns each.

I was going to make the fishcakes with tinned salmon, can anyone tell me how much of this I can eat as a HEB?

Thanks in advance x

Thankyou! So I can make 6 fishcakes from the 418g tin, and have one. I might do EE so I can have a couple. Might have to squeeze some more veggies in then.
