I suggest you give the spare syns to me and I will do you a favour and eat them Seriously though, you can have between 5 and 15 syns per day, if you don't need them I think I am right in saying you don't have to eat them all if you don't need them?

*throws 32.5 syns at ammonite* (just had a special k bar with my green tea)

I got some WW premium pork ssg so I guess I can have 2 of them Sunday with my fry-up which will take my syns down to 31.5 :rotfl:

I am just finishing work now, so enjoy the rest of your weekend, I may get on tomorrow

lol thanks macpep!

Can anyone help me? My Mum is away otherwise I'd ring her!!! I got frozen prawns out of the freezer and they have defrosted.......I made a fish pie which I plan to re-heat for my dinner but can the defrosted prawns be microwaved? I have prawn-cooking anxieties and don't want to poison myself!

Fish Pie recipe
(I'm no good with weights, I just throw it in until it looks right)
Serves 4
2 syns, 1 HEA and 1HEB each

1. Poached 2 salmon fillets and 2 cod fillets in the oven, wrapped them in foil, added salt, pepper and lemon juice. Gas Mark 5 for 30-40mins.

2. Once cooked, flake the fillets and share out across 4 pyrex dishes. Add the smoked salmon (got this strange little packet in sainsburys, seems to be offcuts of smoked salmon which were perfect for the fish pie, loads of it in the "basic" range packet for £1!!!). Add salt and pepper to taste and worcester sauce.

3. Make up a packet of Colman's Cheddar Cheese sauce mix with 300ml of boiling hot water (or milk if you want to HEA or syn it), once you have a sauce, stir in a large dollop of fat free fromage frais to thicken it up.

4. Boil potatoes, mash potatoes and spread over the top of each dish. Sprinkle 42g low fat cheddar on top and heat in the over until the top is golden brown.

5. Enjoy.

Hi, ive just maid a pot roast slimmingworld recipie where you line the bottom of your slow cooker with your potatoes and veg, add the meat on top and add water couple fo inch above meat (beef in this instance) cook for around 8 hours, then remove meat to rest, serve veg, and make up gravey (syn free)

My question is, how come the potatoes and veg are still free in this recipie even tho they are cooked in water & meat juice, but if your made the remainingg juice for gravey you have to syn it?

I made up my own recipe for dinner tonight. The vegetables were a tin of tomatoes, 4 sticks of celery, 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper and a red onion...simmered for 20 mins with some garlic, Worcestshire sauce and paprika (makes 2-3 portions) .... served with some stir fried pork steak and pasta.

Good point - afraid I'm not sure but would be interesting to find out - I always cook my potatoes with my meat (no added fat) and water.....I always syn them as roast potatoes....

Interesting.....:cool: - hope it tasted good!!

Oh no, please try not to think of it as a punishment - we all fall off the wagon (some of us more than others ) but you should be loving the plan otherwise it will be even harder work...:p

Well done on your loss, it's all in the right direction :j, as gettingthere said, try not to be too dissapointed - 1lb a week over a year is over 3.5stone!
