Hello, I have been reading a few of the posts on here, What a brilliant idea, so thought I would like to join in. I have been at target for about 18 months after loosing 3st.. No it is not easy to maintain but this is the second time I have joined. I reached Target kept within, for a couple of years then stopped going for weighin and a year later had put most of the weight back on. Now I am determined to keep going to class and keep the weight off.
I am a veggie so do mostly Green.
I noticed Mug shots mentioned, I know the police take these but didnt know you could eat them!!!!Please can you tell me what they are?

Hi Mary, welcome to the thread. Well done on keeping the weight off, if I ever get to target, it WILL NOT go back on, and I know to do that I will have to go to group every week.

Mug Shots are like a cuppa soup. You will find them in the soup section of the supermarket, and you can have any of the noodle ones as FREE on a green day. The only pasta one that is free is the tomato and herb.

Thanks Charlies_mum I will have a look for them when I go shopping next.
The only way to stay at target I am sure is to keep going to class as in your minnd you know you cant cheat. I have some dreadful days but try not to let it gointo the next day.

How weird that you mention Snack a Jacks. I came on to ask about them!!

We were out looking at sofas this afternoon and then decided to go on to the park and get some snacks. The kids & DH had crisps, I thought I'd be good and had a packet of Salt & vinegar Snack a Jacks. Came home and worked out the Syn value as I couldnt find them online and they come out as 6!! I'd've been better off having Wotsits like the kids, they were only 5.5 :mad: :mad:

They're made by Quaker

25g bag 5 syns
30g bag 6 syns

French Fries are always a good bet 4.5 syns per bag

I bought a bottle of no added sugar lager shandy as I thought it would be nice if we had a barbecue this weekend (fat chance)

Can't find the no added sugar one on the website but the normal one isnt too bad so as long as you dont go OTT you should be fine

Hi

This is my 2nd attempt at Slimming world and i rejoined last week.
I am having a real problem using all my syns for the day, I know that I am allowed between 5 and 15 but my average for the day is about 5.
I am not denying myself anything, I dont drink or eat crisps but my downfall is chocolate. It is my addiction, I cant eat a chunk and be satisfied I need to binge, hence the reason i am overweight.
I have been avoiding all chocolate and satisfying my sweet tooth with grapes and yogurts. Oh and alpen light bars.

It is day 5 day today and i have had 3 green and 2 red days. My totaly syns today were 7, most of them on sweet potatoes (red Day) I just love them.

Will my lack of syns stop me loosing weight? I do eat a lot, lots of fruit and veg. I am not restricting my food at all, just avoiding chocolate.

thanks

last summer i made my own lemonade. i boiled the zest of some lemons, squeezed the juice out, added some sugar and then put about 25ml in a glass and mixed it with soda water. if i made it with splenda would it be free? i know you're meant to syn juice, but surely if you mix it with water it's only the same as no added sugar squash?

Aw, thanks Amie:A xxx

Actually, last night I had SW burgers and I made SW coleslaw to go with them. It was delish. Not keen on horseradish so I added a bit of mustard.

Off for my favourite form of exercise - the shops:D!!! Have a great day everyone:beer:

Not going to WI today, as I usually go at 10am and as it's Bank hol there's only one meeting today, at 6.30.

But I've just weighed myself at home and by my reckoning I've lost 3 or 4lb this week so I've reached my first stone! Can't wait to have another good week and then have a fabulous "official" weight loss next week!!

Looking good weather today so going to make some home-made Minted Lamb Koftas to have on the BBQ later with loads of salad!

Hope everyone has a good day
