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

andreac

Ah yes. Passata is free and so are tins of tomatoes. Just be careful with those other sauces like dolmio etc as they ate all Hugh in syns.

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.

I know! I was just so nosey! It kinda deflated me so I feel like eating everything, I just made an omelette to tide me over. Thanks for the receipe.
That bloody fry lite is ruining my pan

andreac

Just make sure you are having your 1/3 superfree with every meal. Make sure you count your syns properly too and that you weigh/measure your Healthy A & B extras right as well.

Yeah ive heard people saying that about the frylite.

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?

I have a serious sweet tooth and I bought the Slimming world rocky road bars at group for the first time last week,they're gorgeous!!!

andreac

Try making the sw ferrero rocher. They are fab and really good for the choc fix.

So many sw recipes out there to choose from and it's all about planning.
Have your Sw fry at the weekends to fill you up too.

Oh curly wurlys are only 6 syns.

Yup I'm the same, savoury doesn't do much for me at all, give me chocolate any day! I found last time I did sw having a big fruit salad at the time I'd want munchies helped me a bit..

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

andreac

Just checked the app. The strawberry and raspberry ones are 4.5 syns and the lemon one is 6.

Maybe not superspeed but totally worth it once in a blue moon! At least I got in some 'body magic', danced me little socks off!

See Slimming World have announced they are starting to make frozen dinners for Iceland?

http://group.slimmingworld.com/useful-features/iceland-news.aspx


So to help you at those times when you really need a quick option, we’re in the final stages of creating some new meals that we believe will be the very best slimming meals available – packed with premium quality Free Food, surprisingly filling, incredibly healthy and wonderfully delicious, great value and in generous portion sizes. They’ll be of a quality and value you’d expect from Slimming World – the best!

Probably a good move (despite there only being 6 Iceland stores in Ireland), but having started less than 2 weeks ago, I thought the whole point was to make food prep a part of your life, and not depend on convenience food!

Enjoying the plan so far, and lost 6.5lb on my first weigh in! :D:D

Ah yeah but to be fair they do address exactly that point: 'So to help you at those times when you really need a quick option'
If I'd had one of those meals in the freezer last night I would've gladly eaten it!

Vahevala

Sometimes I work 12 hour shifts so I would happily use a SW frozen meal in those occasions. They are not meant for daily use. I hope the portion sizes are decent.

m'lady

I think they could be handy at those awkward times when your not organised, it could stop people from reaching for the takeaway menu! I know there are definitely times when I'm not organised or maybe not arsed cooking!

I'd say they will be very like the weight watcher meals, where you need to bulk them up with veg..

mejulie805

I'm not against them-far from it! I'm still new to it and just thought it wasn't very slimming world-y! Road trips to Iceland when they're out!

m'lady

Has anyone heard anything about the new muller bliss Greek style yogurts, how many syns etc? They are gorgeous but if they are high in syns I'll be leaving them out of my trolley this week!
