well done :T

I just reheated my vege stew from last night (just mixed veg and toms really) but added green lentils and a load of spices - cumin, coriander, chilli, black onion seeds and made it into a yummy curry!!

Hey all your lovely loosers

Having another green day today, don;t really fancy much meat and I like the extra healthy extras.

I have bought myself a spiral back notpad to use as my food diary (pinched the idea off someone on the facebook group) so I can take it everywhere with me and it's easier to jot things down, I will be writing down my fave syns and healthy extras in the back too

I am right into this SW journey now, loving it loving it loving it :j

Well Ladies.....glad to see were all still on the wagon & fighting the food fairies :A 1st WI for me tomorrow after the Mahoooosive holiday gain so ive got everything crossed (except when I need to get up and walk about.....bit hard on the crutches - dont you agree skintslimmer :rotfl:)

Did I tell you about my funny turn yesterday - I almost fell off my crutches when I was just standing still, and was hallucinating that the handles had broken off when they hadn't! :eek:

Good luck for your Wi today Dizz, and anyone else who weighs in today.

Me today:
b: grapes I got up a bit late
l: frubes x 2 (say 2 syns?), Hm soup, cashew nuts (b), cottage cheese, mixed bean salad and salad.
Coffees (a) and 3 quality street (2.5 each, i think).
d: no idea yet :rotfl:

I have melon and grapes and more frubes on standby in case of studying munchies, not to mention several types of sugarfree sweeties.

Veryvery... Don't be offended if nobody replies to your request for syns. Those who are current subscribers to the website & class are usually very kind and take the time to look things up for the rest of us on here, but we must remember that its their time ~ it takes about 10 minutes to log on and find the right product, maybe another 5 to make the post on here - so even the most kind hearted of people who could do it must occasionally get fed up if they have done a lot of it recently - in all honesty I know I did when I was in their shoes.

It is also very possible that your request got lost as this thread is very busy at the moment - it quietens back down to a pace most of us can catch up on in a couple of months time, but its the equivalent of having to wait an hour instead of 5 minutes to weigh in at class on here at the moment

There are a few very quick methods you can use to find the likely syns if you don't have access to the SW website:

• Buy a food directory. Last year's will only be marginally out of date so still very useful - I'm sure they are available on ebay if you can't get them in class.
• Google "Slimming world syns" and add in the name of the product you are looking for. If it is a popular product chances are someone somewhere on one of the many slimming world support websites will have asked the same question and had an answer.
• Guestimate using the 20 calories = 1 syn rule of thumb. This appears to be most accurate when there is little or no free food in the product (e.g. sweets, cakes, sauces).

I'm not trying to say don't ask on here at all, by all means do ~ but hopefully the above might get you an answer quicker and more reliably than on here, and saves those absolute darlings who look up the syns on the SW website for us, some shoeleather.

Also this forum http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/ is a fab resource for syn values

So excited - I lost 8½lb in my first week at today's morning group

Wandered around Asda in a daze. I have been to Slimming World several times in the last 5 years (only once got to target) and have never 'til now followed EE.

OMG it works :T 15.5lb to go

Good to see you back, Wootball :beer:

What she said woot. I must admit I thought there was a supreme irony in yesterday's exchange. Generally I have felt out of place on this thread because I can be critical of the SW formula approach to meetings and blind acceptance of the mystique behind why some things are synned and not others. Like others I can't help questioning if I don't understand something otherwise I feel patronised. However yesterday when you rose to the defence of SW......

Is anyone able to recommend a NAS squash that doesn't taste too sweet? I've replaced my life-saving morning glass of orange or grapefruit juice with squash (Ribena or grapefruit so far) but haven't found one to my taste yet.

Good afternoon all, I didn't get chance to post my menu yesterday So here it is.
B- Muller, apple and 2 satsuma
L-Chicken fried rice (3)
T - lemon chicken risotto (5) grapes

S -cheese on toast (a+b), Options (2)

Had 10 syns yesterdy and both a + b, plan for today is
B Muller, apples and 2 clementines
L- Tuna pasta salad, mayo (3) red onion, cucumber, tomato and sweetcorn
T - Tandori salmon, Uncle bens Mexican rice (4) peppers, cucumber, spring onions
Options (2) frozen berries, f/free yogurt.

That makes 9 syns, and a and b to find (Will probably go for cheese on toast as that was scrummy last night)

I'm aiming for 10 syns each day so I too can indulge after WI tomorrow night. I've got my heart set on fish and chips after all the talks on here

I've been right on track this week and have done some form of exercise every evening for at least 45 minutes. If I don't see a loss this week I will be gutted.

Well done to all the loses, they're coming in thick and fast now. I hope everyone enjoys their day.
