Hi ,Ive been doing sw extra easy for a week now ,had my weigh in and have lost 2 lbs .
Most other people in the group have lost 4 or 5 lbs so am i doing it wrong? i have not used hardly any syns and been swimming twice and gym twice.

Is it the fat free one mutley?

Fat free are FREE
Intensely creamy are 2.5 Syns
Standard Activia is 3.5 Syns a pot.

Am amazed - thought the creamy one would be the higher value.

Thanks Elizabeth
I didn't eat them yesterday as didn't know so now can carry on guilt free!
Have just bought Pasta n Sauce to make the SW quiche so will comment tomorrow.Hope everyone is getting on OK, terrible rain makes me not want to go out and exercise maybe tomorrow!

I made the bacon, onion and egg quiche today and it is yummy. More left for later

Hi to all the new joiners

Good news is - I have a cooker well an oven and a gas camping stove as well as George foreman grill but it'll do for now!! Time to get back on it!!

fab news about cooker

Hello All
Can I join? Started SW a week ago...right before the Jubilee and just at the start of a week off work for half term. Not very good planning on my part.

So only lost a pound at 1st weight in on Weds but relieved it wasn't a gain!

I do have a question, does anyone know how many Syns a supermarket meatball has?

The DCs love spag and meatballs and I make a free tom sauce to go with it (as yet I haven't made my own meatballs but am going to this w/end and freeze).

We have had it for tea tonight and I had 2 meatballs (instead of the 6 that I would usually have ) but I can't find Syn value on website?? I have put a reduced fat spag and meatballs (7.5) on my diary and still am below 15 but am hoping its less so I can have a tonight!!

Thanks x x

I sts but as have had a week of pure eating with fish and chips and 3 chineses as well as BBQ on Monday and 3 bottles of wine and bottle of bubbly

As well as crisps and chocolate shortbread

Erm so very happy i sts

Welcome ceaser :) and what brand were the balls?

Hi I'd like to join too - I rejoined SW 7 weeks ago and have lost 12 1/2 lbs so far - I'm trying to lose the 2st I put back on after leaving last time, it's just work keeps getting in the way of our group - our group sounds a lot better than some on here it's very supportive and I need it - glad i found this thread as I have had a bad couple of days and a bit of midweek motivation is just what I need. Well done to everyone on your weight loss so far it sounds like you're doing well.

Hello, may I join you ladies? I joined SW two weeks ago, and in my first week I lost 1.5 pounds. I was quite happy with that....That was until it was anounced, the only man in the group, managed to lose 15. The second week, I weighed in a pound heavier. I didn't stay after that. I didn't want the humiliation of everyone knowing....I have 2st to loose, and I'm on the green plan.

Hi all can I join in please. I'm using the free 7 day menu off of the website this week as can't afford to join till next week when i get paid. Ideally id to loose 4 stone but loosing inches is more important to me.

Blondes It was Morrisons own brand meatballs. It is better to search via brand?

I didn't have the in the end. DD woke up and I ended up falling asleep with her. I have actually gone to bed early quite a few nights since starting to avoid snacking, works too!

We are just watching Tinkerbell and DD is eating a teacake. I want to eat it!!!!!!!

DS has been really poorly in the night, sick every hour till 6am, so will be at home with him today and have to be strong not to snack.
hoping to get sick bug and lose 10lb

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Welcome to the new members , I have onlt been going to SW less than 2 weeks but have lost 7.5lbs so fr on the Extra Easy plan.

Hi, can I join too.

I have been going for 4 weeks and have lost 17.5lbs which I'm very pleased with but I do have about 9 stone to lose in total.

I am doing extra easy and am enjoying it so far, think the 1/3rd superfree is making me feel super healthy!

I really wasn't impressed with group during the first session but now enjoy it. The problem I find is that many of the food tips are based on food with artifical sweetners which I am trying to avoid I however can't give up diet coke but have cut down alot.

I am a Diet Coke fiend too , am trying to make sutre I drink to pints of plain water a day too though to stop me drinking DC all the time.

Welcome - I have a total of 7 stones to lose but for now am focusing on that first 10%

"two pints" not "to pints" - sticky "w" on keyboard.

I used to drink normal coke all the time at least 2 cans but ive given that up and alcohol and am limiting myself to 1 can of diet coke a day.

Hi All
Anyone got an opinion on what's best to eat when you go to an Indian for a curry. I ended up with Biriayni but wasn't sure whether something else would have had a lower syn value?

Hi ladies,
May I join you? I'm back on SW today having been totally off plan for months...and a stone heavier than I was when I last started, whoops! ow have approx 2 stone to lose...
I have just been reading through the last page of the thread and wanted to double-check something - someone said all fat free yogurts are free? I'm sure that this depends on the sugar content etc? I remember (a few years back so may be different), buying a M&S ff yogurt, packaging very like Muller Lights, but they were 5 syns each!! So please check, I know that the odd syn does make a difference if you're not losing etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong though!

Anyway, day 1 and I'm peeing lots, which I always take to be a good sign - my body knows I'm on weight-loss mode.
Have just made a carrot and ginger soup, as accidentally bought 3 bags of carrots instead of 3 carrots online. Smells nice and will be good whatever day I will be having.

Hi to all the new ladies
I'm having a bad week, just feel all I wanna do is eat junk
I WILL BE GOOD, I MUST BE GOOD!!!!! Keep trying to tell myself to look at the bigger picture but all I can see is cake!!!

Weigh in day for me today - think I have lost as I "feel" lighter if that makes sense.

I've been looking at Slimming World online and they have a free weeks recipe - am I reading it wrong or ar they saying that EVERYTHING in Bold writing is FREE food - it's basically all the food on that page apart from Tomato ketchup

here

Lost another 2.5lbs

Well done ColouringIn. How much is that in total?

LaurieFairyCake, all of the bold foods are free! Just remember to fill 1/3 of your plate with the suggested veg and salad.

03angels I have felt the same this week, would happily sink my face into a giant cake . My weigh-in is tonight and I am not too hopeful
