Slimming World

Hoping that anyone here that goes to the meetings might be able to help me, batchelors (at least I think it's them) have a new range if beans that you'd have with rice/taco etc, does anyone know if they are syn free?

Guys can ye help me what baps do you use let's say as burger buns as your healthy b??

There aren't too many options. The country kitchen sandwich thins or bagel slims are healthy b but aren't great IMO.

We use Slimsters or Slimbos instead. 5 syns each but worth it and if you don't eat a healthy B that day it's pretty much the same...

Hi.

Just wondering. Can Irish Pride Slimsters be used as a HEB?

Thanks in advance.

I dont think they can be used. But the Brennans "Be Good bread" can be used. 2 slices and they are 2 good slices too. Not the small ones like the Hovis Nimble which can also be used.

Where can you find the recently added foods?

Beef in Black bean sauce with boiled rice 5.5 syns (boiled rice is free! fried rice add 4 syns), chicken chow mein 7, sweet and sour chicken 8.5 syns, watch the serving sizes though because I'm pretty sure those syn values are for about half the portion of each main course... so fill up on the rice!
Prawn crackers are apparently only 1.5 syns for 5 which sounds like good value!

God i always thought prawn crackers were loads of syns!! Put them in a fire and you see how much oil they hold so I just presumed they were a no go!

Just checked the app. It says for 5 crackers from Chinese it's 1.5 syns so that's not bad at all.

Oh, speaking of Chinese. If anyone is in the killarney area there's a Chinese restaurant called Golden Chopsticks that has a page of syn free meals in its menu! Went there for dinner a few wks ago with the intention of just blowing my syns for the night and couldn't believe it when I saw the page. Food tasted great too, the exact same as a normal Chinese meal.

Wow that's impressive, handy to know if I'm back there, thank you!!

yes theres a chinese in drogheda/dundalk and navan that have a sw menu, its briliant

Three and a half down and feeling great

Maintained this week hoping to be down again next week

is the Aldi brand pasta sauce jar free of syns?

I doubt it. Most of those jars of sauces are very high in syns so be careful. They are full of sugar and most people don't even realise that. I haven't used a jar of sauce since I started sw nearly 3 years ago.

Can't believe it. I was down 4 lbs this week!! Wasn't expecting that at all. In the 3 years I'm doing this its only the second time I've got a loss this big so I'm chuffed to bits.

Any tips. Well done 4lbs in fantastic

I'm trying to figure out why my weight loss was higher this week; I'd say it's down to the fact I only ate pasta once (as opposed to four times last week, when I ended up with a gain of 2 pounds) - I had SW chips every other day! I also ate about twice as much superfree, and 9-10 syns per day (as opposed to about 5-6 per day last week when I had the gain). I was also slightly less active this week than last.
I won't be expecting great things this week as I've a family wedding and visitors staying from tomorrow on and off for the next few weeks, intending to stick to plan every day except Saturday though! Hopefully won't end up on the floor after my first few drinks since August

It's called passata and its meant to be free a girl In my group is saying? I just want to use the sauce as a pizza base on a wrap

Yep passata and tomato puree and tinned tomatoes are all free, I always check the ingredients list for oil just in case

Down 4lbs today, so so happy, was only half a pound away from breaking into the 16stone mark. Total loss 1stone 10lbs, really happy. I think my walking everyday is my trigger, also loads of melon. Looking forward to breaking the 16 stone next week, never again want to see 17 or 18!!!!

I am absolutely delighted tonight!! Lost 3 lbs tonight, I have lost 1st 6.5 lbs on Slimming World (in 2 months) and in total since I decided to lose weight, it makes 3 stone 4 lbs so far

I'm so upset I joined slimming world tues and iv been sticking to the plan 100% but curiousity got the better of me and I weighted today in boots. It said I'm down only half a pound. Although it did say I was 5 ft 7 when I'm only 5 ft 5. Think I just need to wait for slimming world scales. Can anyone give me a receipe for sw pizza? I have the wraps bfree from dunnes do I grill this with purée? How much syns for cheese topping? Thanks 😀

Please please just stick to the one scales. You will always get diff readings on other scales. When is you next weigh in? Have you only joined a few days ago?

Sorry just noticed you said you joined Tuesday. So you still have another 4 days to go, so you could lose anything in those next few days.

Just stick with your scales at the class or one at home maybe if you really want to weigh yourself.

Im actually 2 lbs heavier on the SW scales than my scales at home.

Why are weekends so hard in regards to following a healthy eating programme/sw... I'm good all week but then the lazy Chinese in front of xfactor happens cuddled up on the couch with himself.. And then a bag of minstrels

Now for the Chinese I had a quarter of the tray of sweet and sour Chinese and fried rice and 3 prawn crackers, so I guess I could have been worse? I need to now pull back, and not let the whole weekend be a disaster.. In fairness I'd a healthy brunch so I wasn't too bad!

Does anybody else get weekends like this?

Actually does anyone know if the new 'muller whipped Greek style bliss corner' yogurts are syn free? I highly doubt it, they are gorgeous.
