Shiny new thread 🌟🌟

Thanks groovee!

Well i did courgette baked oats- savoury and sweet . They were nice. Savoury ones were nearly there. A bit of onion and bacon and they would have been perfection!

Well done losers.

1.5lb off for me. 6.5 in two weeks.

Well done LemonyPea

DD1 and I have discovered an amazing tearoom a short distance away that does sugar free/low fat scones with sugar free jam and they are amazing and feel like a massive treat. Had an afternoon doing touristy things at a local village and then to this tearoom with 3 of my DC and grandson. Lovely time was had by all.

Some good losses this week there :) well done you bunch of losers

Guineapigs I'm glad someone was brave enough to try the zoats, I fell all justified now lol

I seem to have had an SP day, I still have half a hexb left, was going to have a hifi - I could have another hexb but I'm not hungry, does it reallllly matter if on SP you don't have two hexb?

Well done @ALemonyPea.

Sounds good PA.

@FoofFighter I think the extra HEB is because a lot of free fruits and veg contain fibre so its to up your fibre. I tend to use dried fruit for a second HEB at target.

Just home from Burlesque. It always astounds me that I go to Burlesque and that I do it for exercise. I forget how much it's helped my flexibility.

I’m still trying to find a burlesque club I can go to.

Hope you find one soon @ALemonyPea it really has been an amazing exercise x

I'm so cross with myself! I made myself a really delicious toastie and was dead proud of my home made subway / toastie. Was actually going to come on here and shout about how yummy it was.

Then I remembered I'd had wheetabix for breakfast. So the toastie bread wasn't free.

And tonight is takeaway night and I was going to use my syns on that.

Could greet (as we Scots say)

Went out last night with the full intention to just drink Diet Coke...I think I might have had two bottles of wine as people kept buying me drinks. There might have been a buffet involved as well.

Clawing it back with 5 syns a day until WI now.

Oops @ALemonyPea

I tried the chicken and veg soup from the Iceland range 😭 it was bogging.

I went out Saturday too, drove there so I could only drink diet coke, but I hadn't drunk celebratory toasts for so lo ng, that If forgotten that prosecco makes me go a bit woozy. I had to leave the car at the venue and get DH to collect it this morning So I followed it with 2 further glasses of wine and a glass of cranberry juice! There was also cheesecake and birthday cake, so I'm doing 5 syns too for the rest of the week. Lost 2 1\2 lbs last week. Another 2 1\2 will mean I've lost the weight I put on over the summer.

I find all the Iceland stuff awful. There is nothing appetising at all, is all over spiced.

Yoghurts synned, smash synned, pasta shapes like spaghetti hoops synned...

A lot of upset on the fb Groups over the new changes this morning.

Seems like they’re having a crack down on sugar. Probably sensible really. The first criticism of slimming world is always the sugar content of muller lights.

Oh no what's changing Groovee? I can't get to group until next week. I don't eat many mullers so that's ok....
《hopes that mango is now speed》

I agree Alemonypea Iceland SW stuff is awful, either really spicy or full of vinegar and watery...Disgusting 🤮

They're changing the website tomorrow apparently with all the new changes. The main ones are more vegan products are free, muller lights and flavoured yoghurt are synned and tinned pasta is synned. There is outrage on Facebook, but I'm really pleased they've done it. Weight loss should primarily be about health, but on SW previously, you could eat unlimited calories worth of sugary shit in the form of muller lights but 200 calories worth of sugary shit in the form of cake is 15 syns. 200 calories is just 2 muller lights.

I don’t eat any of those three things, so I’m good. Now if they’d only make digestive biscuits to half a syn each, I’d be good. Or invent a B choice cracker that doesn’t taste like a carpet tile.

Not surprised at the muller light change. I have a few in the fridge but I always make sure they have the longest date as I only have 1 or 2 a week and normally when I have run out of the flavoured quark and want something with my fruit for breakfast. Probably wont buy them again as it would seem like a waste of syns for me.

WI tomorrow and I am getting a bit anxious about it - I am away on holiday on the 29th and I had wanted to be back at my lowest weight by then. I have tomorrow and next Tuesday to get there and really not sure that I will make it. I am going away to the Algarve to the place I stayed last year - and I put on 8lb last year!!! Lovely apartment, but it is above a bakery, so I wake up to the wonderful smell of freshly cooked bread every morning and their cakes are out of this world. I am on holiday so I do want to be able to have a treat, but I just hope i am a bit better than I was last year.

Oh god PA, I’d put weight on just from the smell alone. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed though, and you’ve had a hard few months, so go easy on yourself. I’d say have one bad meal a day, as long as the other two are relatively good, you’re fine.

Oh PA sounds glorious but 🙈.

We're off to Budapest in 4 weeks. Need to lose 2.5lb to be at my lowest.

Have made the beef koftas out of the Take 5 book. Am chilling over night to cook for tea tomorrow.

I'm a bit confused by what I have read on my group page - are flavoured quarks (savoury and sweet versions) going to be synned from now on?

not bothered about the mullers or the hoops, will continue to have instant mash on occasion though as it's convenient. and I won't syn it so ner!
