Slimming Through The Winter - Slimming World Support Thread 2018

I've only tried one SW meal: the chicken jalfrezi. It was OK but the sauce was a bit watery.


If you like an Indian curry then I'd recommend Aldi Lamb Rogan Josh for 1.5 syns. Just as good as a take away IMO.


Sorry you were disappointed with your kedgeree denise. I'm hoping the haddock will be OK. I bought 3 for £10 bags from Farmfoods to try. The salmon wasn't that good, we'll see what the haddock's like. I might try Iceland another time. I generally buy my fish YS in Sainsbury's or in Lidl. I'm trying to up our fish intake but it seems you get what you pay for.

Really surprised (mind you last week I rounded up so it might have made the difference) but

-3.5lbs

So now only got 2.5lbs to go until I've lost 4 stone really cannot believe it. I never thought it would happen. I'm wondering if my thyroid tablets are now too high mind but I think the last prescription said review in April so might wait until then and not bother docs as I've got more energy now and stuff.

Food for today:

Breakfast: Greek 0% fat yoghurt and an apple cut up.
Dinner: birds tomato sausages (I'm saying 4 syns each so 8 syns), home made gravy (2 syns), broccoli, sprouts, cabbage.
Tea: I think I'll have fish, mushy peas and mint sauce.

Also I think I've asked before but feeling like a bit of chocolate - can anyone tell me what chocolate honeycombe matchsticks are for 4 or how they work it out.

Well done to the losers, keep your head up sts and any gainers. It's heading in the right direction and remember where we started to where we are now

Well done on your loss dawyldthing . Shiny next week? !!!128512;

I can't see any Matchsticks online. If you post the food values we can work it out.

Thanks for the chart, kathrynha, and sorry you're not feeling too good at present. Congratulations to GAF on slimmer of the week, and welcome to Fred.

On the subject of SW ready meals - we like the chicken tikka masala one and find there's ample to share between two of us. We've also tried the lasagne (both the beef and vegetable varieties) but weren't at all impressed.

We've just discovered the ALDI 'Slimwell' meals, which are cheaper and less calories than the SW equivalents - I think SW threatened to sue Aldi because the packaging is very similar, so I don't think they've been given syn ratings.

So far we've just tried their bolognese ragu, which we had with courgetti and we both enjoyed. We have a couple of other ones in the freezer, but not tried them yet - we try to cook from scratch, with ready meals being for the odd occasion where neither of us can face cooking.

I can second mamans recommendation for the ALDI chilled rogan josh if you enjoy curry.

Plan for today - got up late, so just brunch today - ham salad sandwich (HEXB) with cheese (HEXA) and red pepper.
Beef casserole in the oven for tea shortly
Mango, clementines and pears for snacks, possibly with a muller light.

Syns - 1 for oil when preparing the casserole, and possibly a kitkat.
