    HELP!! been given the slimming world book from a friend (can't afford class on maternity leave,hence the 4 stone weight gain) and nothing in my cupboards has a syn value in book how can i get a group password to do it online?

    Hi hun and welcome to the thread, i am sure it is against SW policy to give out the password on here, in fact i know it is and we could get in trouble ( although some may find a creativer way)

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I have been really good this weekend (had sneaky peak at the scales and :D) back in work today though, so we'll see, not counting my chickens etc.

    Although someone had brought in some jaffa cakes and I have no idea how many syns they are!!! :eek: I'm not going to have one as if I have one I'll have to eat them all :o :rotfl:

    Apparently they are 2.5 syns each.... hmm is 2 jaffa cakes worth that?

    Right in a rush tonight so food is looking like this:

    Breakfast - 2 weetabix +350ml skimmed milk (HE A and B)

    Snack - Pineapple

    Lunch - Jacket pot and beans, followed by yogurt.

    Snack - Banana + Alpen light bar (1/2 HE B)

    Dinner - Weight watchers Cannelloni + Cheese (HE A + 3.5 syns - then Aquafit)

    Snack - Alpen light bar (HE B, after Aquafit)

    Plus loads of water/squash etc and fruit for snacks. Looks like I have plenty of syns for jaffa cakes!!!

    But can I only have 2?

    Welcome ISOM, I will add you to our spreadsheet - going to update it when the littlest monkey has her nap (she's already an hour overdue....lol).

    I've just made a big pan of spinachy pasta - it's a little bit dull but I can't find my book to see how many syns it would be to add a bit of pesto (quite a lot I'm guessing). Think hubby has buried the book under the clothes mountain he has built in the living room (he is apparently going to iron it tonight while I am at work....he likes ironing.....weirdo).

    Lucy....step awaaaaay from the jaffa cakes... :D They are the work of the devil!! :rotfl:

    I've not had any, I think I will have a chocolate options drink instead at 2 syns and see how I feel then....

    Problem is you can't just have one jaffa cake, well I can't :o
