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...

Have any of you seen this yet? An Irish lady was awarded Slimming World's Woman of The Year in the UK. How amazing. Shes truly an inspiration to anyone who wants to lose weight.

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.

No, but they're worth the 5 syns IMO and if you don't have a HEB that day it's close enough IMO

They've just added Aldi Gluten Free "Has no" rolls as a healthy B and they're substantial enough IMO

Where can you find the recently added foods?

Down 2lbs tonight, delighted with that. I had a meal out and too much wine on Friday and a stomach bug on Sunday/Monday so i went way off plan so lucky to have any loss at all. Back on it 100% now, only 4.5lbs to go to my 1 stone award!

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!

I know that's what I thought too! To be honest I haven't checked that in the book, someone said it online (another site) and I just saved the list of syn values in case I get a craving for a takeaway! I've searched again now and someone else says 1.5 syns for 2, which is quite different. I could eat a whole bag of them so avoiding them altogether is the way to go for me

andreac

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.

JillyQ

Maintained this week hoping to be down again next week

andreac

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.

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.

Just had a quick look on the app there and the bolognese aldi sauce cucini one is 11 syns!!

Any tips. Well done 4lbs in fantastic

andreac

Just really stuck to plan and watched my syns. Ate loads of superfree too.
Not sure why it was such a high loss to be honest so I'm chuffed.

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
