Great video :) recently I bought the dreamy bar and remember that you mentioned about putting them in the freezer and they are now my favourite thing at the moment! You have the best slimmingworld videos keep up the good work xxxx
Thanks for the tip on the butterscotch sweeties. I am always grabbing something naughty from the shops on my commute home and if I have these in my bag, it might stem my cravings. You are looking FABULOUS btw.
Loved this video ! I'm on slimming world to and struggle with naughty treats and this has given me great ideas , also as I'm new to sw I have absolutely no idea on how to work Syns out ? X
Thanks Megan, they are always highly requested. Lidl & Aldi have such affordable sweets, crisps & chocolate. The usual rule of thumb is 20kcals = 1 syn. But if it's something like a HEXB & you choose to sun it it's a bit less. Like the Alpen lights. 70kcals would usually equate to 3.5 syns but the app has them as 3 syns. Buying minis or bags of sweets is great as you can spend 10 mins when you get home & pre portion lots of pick & mix bags up for the week 😀 x
Hi Donna, We just got back from trick n treating and my girlies have made me up a low syn bag! Great and informative video. I like to melt my Freddo and dip lots of strawberries and grapes in it and then let them set. I love Iceland bubble gum lollies, SW chips with a red pepper in brine dip blended with fat free yoghurt. I think lollipops are also good as they last ages. I also like Pick n Mix, I just work out the values and make up a bag....just a big kid at heart xxx
Some of their foods taste better, I got the snack pack crisps and a few other bits to mix up my syn snack packs that I make. I make 7 individual bags of 15 Syn Treats. Then I know how many syns I have had, as during the day I only eat Free foods and whatever I chose from my chosen syn bag. This week I lost 5 pounds and got my 4 and a half stone award, after missing out on it by 1 pound. I need 2 and a half pounds this week to get my 5 stone award. Ps I won Miss Slinky 2015 @ My Slimming World group, which I am very proud of. 22 Weeks I have been going to group and never missed a week. Staying to Image therapy really helps me to stay motivated. Hope you had a great week xxx
How, thanks for this. I wanted to ask some advice, I been on SW, on and off since Sept 2014, I lost like 6 over, but I was 2 pounds away from a new stone, but I gained like 2 pounds as I was arrogant with my syns and now I have gone off the deep end, gaining like 1 and half stone. Totally depressed since it's my brother wedding next month, it's too late to lose that but I said to myself after New years, will go back to SW as I stopped going as I was ashamed. But now I am going to use my syns wisely, and your video has been a great help. Thank you.
How jammy! 😀 I got the last tray of chocolate ones from our the back. I must visit another Morrisons & seek out more. If you check out my make it Monday's desserts video you can see a lovely pud recipe using Alpen light bars 😘
Sam Joll 1 syns per 20 calories. But I cannot work out free foods or healthy extras with this. Any food with any sort of free food element in it you cannot use this either.

How can you work out the syns just by looking at the calories
Sam Joll 1 syns per 20 calories. But I cannot work out free foods or healthy extras with this. Any food with any sort of free food element in it you cannot use this either.
