Heading for winter with Slimming World

Hi, just wondering if I could ask a quick question please, does anyone knowif there are any syns in Knorr Aromat, is just some seasoning so I assumed there would be no syns in it, but reading way back inn the thread it sounded like someone said there was syns in it. I hope not as I've been using it on potato cubes which I bake in the oven and they taste delicious, even my OH woofs them down!

i start doing exercises with the weight bands (resistance bands) so i think one or both of them seems to have kick started it all again, much to my delight, i do exepct it to slow down again as i near target, but hopefully the next 16lbs wont be too hard to shift.

Can you tell us something about the weight/resistance bands please - I've looked on Amazon but I'm confused - I'd love to hear from someone who has worked with them.

I've lost 5 stone and I walk 30+ miles a week but I need something to trim up my body/tummy - the walking has trimmed my hips - lost 14" off them, which makes buying clothes hard cos my waist measurement is too near that of my hips....

the SW webiste gives it as 4syns for the 50g pack
and 7.5 for the 90g tube, on all plans.

Stayed the same this week. Getting fed up with the small amounts and staying the same. Now sitting with all my books and mags and writing a plan for next week. Going to get back on the dreadmill and see if that helps.

i think beign good all the time will catch up with you eventually...just like being bad..

I was going to say much the same as piglet did mm becasue it's 100% true!! I'm sure you're following the plan properly because you post your menus so it will catch up with you in the end!
I thought of you this morning when our consultant announced that peanut hi-fi bars are coming soon and they will be Kosher friendly.

My WI this morning and I lost again:(. I've not been eating enough this week due to gurgly tummy but it is worrying me. I'll talk to my GP. If I can eliminate any other issues then I just need to plan in some more HEXs and syns.

Thanks for that Maman. I AM GOING TO LOSE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!

Just been shopping and have a fridge full of fruit and veg now and menus planned for all of the weekend and next week. It's going to be a bit of a challenge as my DH has a colonoscopy on Monday and has this unbelievable diet to follow from Friday. What I love about SW is that I don't have to make two meals but this weekend it will definitely be that.

Great news about the new HiFi bars and I'll see if "my" consultant can get some to my Mum to send to me.

Sorry to hear that your tummy is still no better and hope you find out what's causing it soon.

Hi all:j

Did a massive post earlier & then lost it all:mad: really mad as I don't have time to re-type it now!! Will do a summary LOL:

• Am an old SW convert, but don't go to class
• like others am struggling with one lb, one off as not sticking to plan properly
• would like to help my 21 yr old DD who has 4 st to lose, i need to lose approx 1.5 stones
• downfall is late-night snacking, mainly chocolate etc
• start each day pretty well but go downhill ......

Any tips would be appreciated, I am going shopping later so need some insispiration.

Do cook all meals from scratch generally, adapt my own recipes - DD went to SW quite recently so have her starter pack. And lots of old books!

Plz could someone help with the syns for these Milk Chocolate rice cakes? no brand name, but portion size 17g, 82 cal, protein 1.1g carbs 11.2g fat 3.6g. Whole pkt is 100g, 480 cal. TIA if you can help, sorry to post & run, but have lots to do....:D

how many of us suffer from that downfall of night time snacking...:o guilty as charged!!

my best advice for anyone on the SW plan is to try and eat free all day, save your syns for nighttime, and try and get as much value as possible for the 10 / 15 syns.

i would have a bag of WW Crisps and a curley wurly (10 in total) or a bag of foxes mini party rings (6) and hot chocolate (2) or the wee cadburys animal biscuits, they come in multi bag packs, 11 small buscuits in a wee bag, 5 syns:j and cause you get 11, you really feel like you are having something.

i also like Freddos, Chomps, WW Raspberry n white choco cookies....actually i like most of the WW cookies, and they are wrapped in packs of 2. (possibly to stop you from gorging the box!:D)

another tip that helps me, is if i am STARVING and thing i am going to have something bad, i have some free things before...
eg...an apple, a muller lite, some ham / chicken, THEN - when the hunger is off me - i will have a curly wurly...

or what else i do (sorry folks if these are all useless tips, i am just thinking of what i do) is i put my syns out onto a wee plate...so i might have a plate with a few jaffa cakes, a freddo, etc...and i know...what that plates done...thats it...no more!!!
