Do please carry on - I have definitely not had enough! I love your recipes!

You might find you are pleasantly surprised at weigh-in. I weigh in the evenings, but before I have my evening meal. I wear my lightest possible clothes (leggings and a thin top), and always visit the loo before I hop on the scales. I'm generally about 2 pounds heavier than I am in the...

I know some cough medicine technically has syns but I have never counted them when I've had to take them. For cough sweets, I don't count the more "medicine" type ones (eg Strepsils), partly because you have to limit intake (I think Strepsils are once every 3 or four hours). More "sweet" type...

Quark is free, and although it tastes of nothing much at all by itself, it's easy to jazz up. I often mix it with marmite, but I know not everyone is a marmite lover! Or sometimes I add chilli flakes and capers, and mix that in really well with black pepper, and spread it on slices of apple...

I have only ever done green as I'm vegetarian. I really like the extra Hex's you get on Green! As well as Quorn mince (and a lot of the other Quorn products), soy mince and tofu are free food. If you're not used to cooking with tofu it can be a bit daunting at first, but it's well worth...

I had an evening off-plan yesterday (though I had planned to be off-plan, if that makes sense!). We had friends round and everyone bought a dish, on a Mexican theme. I enjoyed every minute of it - cake and tequila were involved! Straight back on today though - soup and scan bran for lunch...

That's an excellent start, well done!

I eat a lot of fruit, but I also tend to use my Hex A's and B's for snacks (I do Green days as I'm vegetarian, so I can have two of each). For example, I'll have mini-babybel lites mid-morning, or Ryvita and marmite/Quark when I get in from work.

That's fab Kamilla, well done!

There are several products on the SW website. Is it one of these? Chosen by You Sweet Chilli Chicken Chunks, chilled , 150g pack - 1 syn on EE and Original Chosen by You Sweet Chilli Chicken, chilled twin pack, 200g each - 4.5 syns on EE and Original

You look great, well done!

7.5 pounds is fantastic - well done!

Like others have said, I do "treat" myself after weigh-in, but I account for it in the week's syns. That way it feels like I'm indulging myself but I am still sticking to the plan. I don't really have a sweet tooth but I love really cheesy pasta dishes, so I might use my Hex A and syn an extra...

Well done!

Two pounds off for me this week - slowly moving through the 11's!

Great losses this week everyone! I am two pounds down - optimism justified!

Well done lumina!

Well done to everyone on their losses! I still have an hour or so to go before I weigh. I feel quietly optimistic!

Well done, that's fantastic!

I have been to several different groups and although they all had raffles, we were never made to feel any pressure to buy a ticket. Most people did, because it went towards the tea and coffee, and the next week's raffle. The raffle prizes at my current group are usually super free food: the...

This, times a million! I know it is a cliché, but everyone IS different. Your consultant will set your target at whatever you say. Only you know what weight feels and looks right for you. Don't worry about what anyone else says (especially if your doctor is happy). I am your height and...

Congratulations, that's fantastic! Half a pound off for me this week, slowly (very slowly) getting there.

Half a pound off for me. Moving (very slowly!) in the right direction.

I have fat free natural yoghurt and fruit - usually grapes, sometimes berries or banana.

Good luck to everyone today!

honk!

I really like it with Marmite, dipped into home made tomato soup (though that might be an acquired taste!).

Waitrose have Linda Mac Red onion and Rosemary sausages 2 for £3.

I suppose I kind of assumed that the extra calories from the meat/fish one could eat on EE would be more or less equivalent to the calories from the extra HE's on green. I know what you mean about consultants: even mine, who is all round fantastic, is a bit hazy on red/green plans.

Yes, I've used lots of her recipes in the past.

Honk for today!

To be honest I can't see the point of EE if one is vegetarian or vegan - the only difference from Green will be fewer healthy extras!

I always have grapes if I want something really sweet and have no syns left.

Check out the recipe section: Slimming World Recipes I particularly like the Pete's recipe book thread, the Catalogue of Indian recipes thread, and the Delicious meals with minimum ingredients thread. Loads of good ideas there!

Apart from the obvious (chilli, bolognese, curry) the main thing I batch cook is home-made tomato sauce. I add loads of superfree (celery, peppers, carrot, onions etc) chopped very fine, blitz it with a hand blender, then freeze in portion sizes.

Good luck!

Ow! I hope you feel better soon.

I made the chickpea dhal loaf for the first time and had it for tea with new potatoes and green beans; delicious!

Honk for today and yesterday.

Hello everyone, I lost 4 pounds tonight to take me out of the 12's! I am currently 11st 12.5 pounds, so I may be here for a while!

4 pounds off for me tonight, which takes me into the 11's! Many thanks to you all for your support, good luck with your weight losses, and I hope to see you in the 11's soon, if that's where you want to be!

Massive congratulations! 4 pounds off for me, feel like I am back on track now!

Well done everyone on your losses so far! I'm just off to group now, will report back later!

The red onion ones are lovely! I can't get them very often round here, so on the odd occasion when I do see them I buy in bulk - there are currently six boxes in my freezer! (edited because apparently I have forgotten how to spell)

Like Samantha26, I often take dinner leftovers to work as we have access to a microwave. My other go-to option (which I have cold) is couscous salad. You can put anything you like in it, but I usually add a combination of some of the following: chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, sliced...

Well done on the loss and happy birthday!

Honk for today!

Excellent start, well done!

That's great, well done!

Batch cooking is an excellent idea. You could also just cook tea for both of you as normal, and plate his up so he can just bung it in the microwave when he gets in (I do this for my flatmate who works late and he doesn't complain - he's just grateful he doesn't have to cook when he gets in!)

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of syn free meals! Some of my favourites (I'm vegetarian so use Quorn or soy mince which is free, but I think if you do EE extra lean mince is also free): Spaghetti bolognese Chilli and rice Chickpea and Potato curry Lentil Dhal and rice Sausage...

Ha, I have given up worrying about clothes sizing - I have stuff in my wardrobe labelled from a size 12 to a size 18, and it all fits me (and therefore is all exactly the same size!). I find Primark to be the worst culprit - I think they just shove labels on at random!

That is a fantastic weight loss so far, well done! You have nothing to be ashamed about, your consultant and your group have seen hundreds of people in your position, and they will support you! Why not ask to sit through the new member talk at your next meeting? I have done that when I hit a...

I keep forgetting to honk now that it doesn't actually say "honk" in the title of the thread! Honks for me for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and today!

That's great, well done!

A gain for me this week, was really fed up on weigh day (as I have been sticking to plan religiously), embarrassed myself by crying at group, generally felt a complete failure. However, my consultant was really nice and has suggested lots of things to try this week, so feeling a bit better...

Thank you so much (and everyone else) for the support, it is much appreciated! I'm a vegetarian so only do green days. I don't have a food diary on here, but I might start one. I am going to do a diary for my consultant this week so he can check it. I do religiously weigh/measure my hex's...

Well done to everyone on their losses! I put on two pounds - seriously fed up now. This is the third week I have stuck to the plan like glue and scrupulously stayed within my syns, and I'm heavier than I was three weeks ago. And to cap it all, I had a hugely embarrassing moment in group when...

So sorry you've had such an awful time, hopefully you are on the mend now.

Honk for yesterday and today!

Beslim2014, I am so sorry for your loss.

Grapes with fat free fromage frais. I have this for breakfast most days and could happily eat it forever. For veg, I would find it very hard to live without onions, tomatoes or peppers.

I have one of those soup mugs - they are really good!

I really enjoyed The Dieter by Susan Sussman - it is funny but also very moving.

I agree with lentil2, you really shouldn't be feeling sick all the time - it's not compulsory to eat huge amounts on SW!

Good Lord that looks painful!

I have tried both ways and not noticed any discernible difference in losses (or gains!), so as 105 a week works much better for me, that's what I do.

Honk for today!

Well, I'm still here! 0.5 off this week (that'll be the 0.5 I put on last week!). No idea what is going on as I have had two perfect weeks plan-wise. Still, I will persevere and hopefully see a decent loss soon.

Well done to everyone on their losses! 0.5 off for me tonight a little disappointed but at least it's going in the right direction again.

That's fantastic, well done!

I second having a look in charity shops, especially for jeans and trousers. And when you get too slim for them you won't feel you have wasted money!

Honk for today!

I have a basic food processor and I use it all the time. It's especially good for when I want to "hide" vegetables in tomato sauce for curries/pasta sauces etc. For the SW quiche, I use a handheld stick blender to get the eggs/cottage cheese smooth - it's also fantastic for soup and sauces...

Oh god, this brought the memories back! (glad I'm not the only one old enough to remember all this!)

Honk for today!

2 Weetabix are a Hex B. The Ainsley Harriot couscous packets vary from 1 to 3 syns per packet if you don't add oil or butter (on Extra Easy and Green -much more on Red).

Honk for today!

That's really helpful, thank you!

That's fantastic progress, well done!

I find things with potato in them tend to freeze less well.

I forgot to say as well, if you are doing a "meaty" sauce, a spoonful of marmite gives it a bit of extra "oomph"!

Adding superfree veg will give your sauce a bit of depth, particularly celery. I blitz onion, green peppper, celery, carrot and garlic in the food processor, then add that to chopped tinned tomatoes and passata. Simmer till it's nice and thick and then whizz with the hand blender. If you like...

Honk!

I am vegetarian so do Green days all the time - the extra hexes are a plus!

It is hard sometimes, I think a lot of people here will understand how you are feeling - I know I do! This is an incredibly friendly and supportive forum- lots of friends here!

I would agree with the not enough protein, also with the fact that the food you posted would be a green day. Perhaps you could do a few "officiall" green days, which would mean you could have another hex a and hex b?

Half a pound on for me tonight - guess I will be staying here a bit longer! I am disappointed because I thought I'd had a damn near perfect week; ho hum!

Oh that must feel good!

Aarggh, I had almost managed to put that out of my mind till now!!

0.5 on for me this week. I am disappointed because I did everything right this week: loads of water, loads of superfree, stayed within my syns limit, etc etc. Oh well, onwards and upwards!

They are both free on Extra Easy (and Green plan - but not on Original plan)

That's fantastic and very inspiring - well done!

Honk!

I have no experience of BED, but I would second seeing your doctor and asking for a referral to a therapist. Some years ago I had CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) for other issues (via the NHS) and it quite literally saved my life. I know it doesn't suit everybody but it worked wonders for...

Ha, I have cooked SW chips hundreds of times and they NEVER look anything like the pics in the books or magazines! I have parboiled/not parboiled, shaken/not shaken, sprayed/not sprayed, and they still come out looking like the impoverished cousin of the SW chip. They taste absolutely yum though!

Ah sorry, I read it too quickly! Good luck tomorrow!

That's fab, well done!

That's a great first weight loss - keep up the good work!

Honk for today!

I've been 100% on plan this week, even went out to lunch today but stuck to jacket potato with beans and salad (helped by Wetherspoons who serve the dressing and the butter "on the side"!). So fingers crossed for a loss on Wednesday.

That's a brilliant start, well done!

Those look great - will definitely be trying them!

Honk!

Yes, this exactly! I mean each to their own and all that, but I REALLY don't want to know about it!

Ha, I read that earlier and confess to being a little taken aback!

Honk!

Well I've now tried both flavours I bought today (ginger and cranberry) and I am officially a convert! They are both delicious - will add some other flavours in next weeks shop.

Inspired by this thread, I bought the gingerbread and the cranberry flavour today. I will report back when I've tried them!

That's a fab loss- well done!

Oh yes, sorry - I only do green days (as I'm vegetarian) so I forget pulses aren't free on all the plans!

Yes, as long as it's just vegetables it should be fine in the fridge for four days. If you like it a bit thicker throw a handful of red lentils in there as well: as long as you simmer it for at least twenty minutes they will just melt and thicken it up nicely.

I'm not even sure if this is the right thread, but if so, then I am honking for today!

Some great ideas so far, and I also buy very low fat plain yoghurt (the tesco 0% fat Greek one is yummy and cheaper than Total), and very low fat cottage cheese, which is great on its own but also as part of "quiche".

If you google "how many syns in...." you can usually find the answers (usually from this site!) http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/154236-oyster-sauce-free.html http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/208042-low-fat-chinese-lettuce-wraps.html If you scroll down in the second one it tells you the...

3lbs is a great loss, well done!

I hadn't heard that, how very sad. I loved the Mole books.

I don't know about the Fakeaways book, but for recipes in the mag that use sausages or mince, I quite often use veg sausages or Quorn/soy mince quite successfully (you have to keep an eye on cooking times).

I don't follow a gluten-free diet, but on the SW website there is a whole feature on following the plan while gluten free. It includes a list of gluten-free healthy extras (bread, crackers, etc) with brand names, so it sounds as if it should be doable!

Our consultant weighs latecomers at the end of group. Even if it is an SW rule, making you wait fifteen minutes after image therapy and then telling you off is obnoxious and rude.

Honk for today!

I've found in the last couple of years that the books and the magazine are becoming more and more meat/fish oriented. I get that SW is promoting the Extra Easy plan, but we vegetarians still need to eat!

Honk for yesterday!

That's fab, well done!

Four and a half pounds off for me tonight (which I was somewhat amazed at). Brings me down to 12st and half a pound - hopefully I will be out of here next week!

Well done everyone on your losses! 4 and a half pounds off for me tonight! I am quite frankly amazed - I have been 100% all week, but I NEVER have big losses!

One thing I sometimes do is make a massive SW "quiche", chop it into bite size pieces and leave it in the fridge.

You do still have to pay if you miss group, but you can book holiday weeks if you know that you are not going to be able to make it (I think you get 6 weeks?). Also, if you can't make your group but can attend another one in the same week, then that still counts.

Five pounds is a fantastic loss, well done! A word of caution though - 2.5 syns is for a 25ml measure of spirits, but an awful lot of pubs/clubs now use 35ml measures as standard, which are 4 syns. Worth checking with the barman!

Well done sus_murf! Hopefully I will be joining you soon!

Good luck at WI today everybody!

Well done on your 2.5 loss! 12.5 in four weeks sounds eminently doable!

That's great Cery, well done!

Chickpea and potato curry - very nice it was too.

Well done on your loss! I hope I do as well at WI tomorrow!

Honk!

The second one would be 4.5 for the schnappes, 4 for the vodka, and just over 2 for the j20 (it's 4.5 per bottle). So that would be about 11 syns. As for the margharita, 8 syns for the vodka, but I don't know what else was in it? (I wouldn't put vodka in a margharita, just tequila, triple sec...

If I don't have a good loss tomorrow I might cry! I have been 100% since last WI, I have averaged ten syns a day and I have eaten more super-free than you could shake a stick at!

Honk (5 days in a row - I've impressed myself!)

I second this! I have no idea how I ever managed without digital scales.

SW doesn't have to be expensive! I very rarely buy any branded food (apart from the very occasional box of Alpen Light).

Curried tofu scramble with rice and salad.

According to the SW website two of the mini babybel goats cheese are a HE as well.

The turkey burgers (frozen 4 pack) are free, ordinary burgers (frozen) are half a syn.

There's an article in this month's SW mag about a woman who keeps fit by hula hooping (page 99)!

Another vote for batch cooking: soups, stews, curries, chillies and bolognese all freeze well. I also make a huge vat of spicy tomato sauce every month or so and then freeze it in portion sizes. You can then add whatever you have on hand to make a meal: beans, quorn mince or pieces, peas and...

It's showing as the right way up for me!

This made me laugh!

Be proud! Lots of people don't have huge losses the first week. According to your statistics, a pound off every week for six months will see you only four pounds off your target weight!

Great loss Jemima Doll, well done!

Your photos are fantastic, well done! I am a teacher as well, and it feels like this holiday has been a LONG time coming! One of the best things about being on holiday is I no longer have to have a will of iron around all the cakes/biscuits/chocolate that seem to be a permanent feature of our...

Honk!

Spicy tomato and sausage pasta bake is sizzling in the oven as I write.

That sounds absolutely yum - I will have to try it this week!

I have just gone through the index page and printed off loads of your recipes to try! Thank you so much for taking the time to post them.

That is so sad.

Honk!

This is how I feel. I still have wine at the weekends (and syn it), but cutting down my overall consumption has been a major factor in my weightloss.

Honk for yesterday!

That's amazing, well done!

That is an excellent way of looking at it - thanks!

Honk! (and my goal for this week is to post in this thread everyday!)

For me, flexible syns means I avoid the "oh god I've blown it so might as well carry on blowing it" feeling. I might STS or even gain, but I have remained in control of my eating. I know this sounds like so much psychobabble but it has made a huge difference to the way I feel and act around...

When I hit a plateau once my consultant suggested changing things up for a couple of weeks. I tend to eat the same things a lot, so I spent a week where I had different HEB's everyday, and a week where I had a different breakfast every day. I don't know why it worked, but it did!

A quick google search came back to minimins! http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/160412-reeses-peanut-butter-cups-pieces.html

I gained a pound this week so I shall be here a while longer!

A pound on for me. A bit disappointed: I went out for a big meal with friends on Saturday (and drank a fair amount of wine), but the rest of the week was on plan 100%, so I thought I would STS. Oh well. Well done to everyone on their losses!

Don't be disappointed! 3 and a half pounds is an excellent weightloss - I lost half a pound my first week! Everybody is different, and if you keep to plan it will work.

Ha! I make several variations on the "quiche", but I call them "sausage slice", "pasta slice" etc! They are yummy, but they're not quiche! I have always found the SW recipes very hit and miss, and prefer to "SW-ise" other recipes. My own personal favourite failure was the "ice cream" made...

Honk!

It's free on EE and green, 10 syns on original (for a 410g can).

Violet, I have often thought the same! I do remember reading one or two "life-stories" in the mag where people seemed to be having a good time despite the fact they were overweight, but they are few and far between! The other thing that really irritates me about them is that they are ALL...

Well done on reaching your target! Ignore this incredibly rude woman. One of the things I like about going to group is the fact that target members still attend: it shows me that A. this plan does work and B. it is possible to maintain your weight loss when you have reached where you want to...

Congratulations!

A pound off for me tonight, which I was quite pleased with: I have stayed on plan this week but only just!

A pound off for me!

Well done Gazter! and well done to all the losers! I'm off to group soon, will report in when I get back!

I'm not confident for tomorrow either. My scales show a gain, but we shall see. I have kept to plan all week but have had the maximum amount of syns.

Well done on getting to target and good luck!

honk!

I just had your Mac and Cheese for dinner, it was delicious!

Honk for yesterday and today!

Pete's mac and cheese!

Congratulations on your loss so far - that's amazing!

Hurrah!

I had no idea that all that Quorn stuff was free! I feel a Tesco spree coming on!

I lost 3 pounds this week, which I am very pleased with! 6 to go before I get into the 11's!

3 pounds off this week!

Well done to everyone on all your losses! I'm off to group now and will report back later!

I second SW quiche! My other go-to lunch is couscous salad. You can make a big batch of couscous that will keep a couple of days in the fridge, then add beans, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, anything you like.

Honk for yesterday and today!

But this forum is not an off-shoot of SW - it is an independent support forum for people following various diets, including SW. The fare dodging analogy is not quite accurate - that would be people gate-crashing SW meetings without paying. No-one here contributes financially to the forum, and...

I'm a paying SW member and I couldn't give a flying wotsit about whether other people on here are current members of SW, ex-members or have never been members at all. I personally need the discipline of WI every week (and consider myself very fortunate that I have the means to pay for it), but...

Lucky7, that dress is gorgeous!

Linda Mac sausages with spicy couscous salad.

That is unbelievably rude and thoughtless. I don't think it is EVER okay to comment on someone else's body unless specifically invited to do so.

Ooh, I haven't seen that! Will definitely give it a try.

I had a bit of a wobble on Friday (too much wine!), but have been 100% since, so hopefully I haven't done too much damage.

I'm glad it's going well!

Thank you so much for these recipes - I made your chickpea curry for dinner and it was delicious!

Honk for today!

Chickpea curry with wholegrain rice.

They still didn't have any in my Tesco yesterday - its been weeks now!

Thank you so much for sharing these, I have got some great ideas for dinners now!

Shepherd's pie made with soy mince, and mangetout.

I have a black tunic hanging in the wardrobe that is going to look brilliant with leggings when I can finally fit into it!

I count a tbsp of any oil as a hexB, even if it isn't olive oil. And I don't syn ketchup (I only have it very occasionally).

Well done on your loss so far and congrats on your new baby!

Not sure of the "official" line, but I try and make sure that a third of my food is superfree over the course of a day. Sometimes it is just not practical to include it in the meal.

I once had a consultant who used to say "Free food does not mean eating till you want to throw up!". Like others have said, it's common sense and stop when you feel full.

Well done everyone on your losses! I couldn't go to weigh-in last night (work and personal crises all coming at once - long story!). According to my scales I have lost a pound, but I am going to wait till I get "properly" weighed next week before I change my stats/ticker, just in case!

That sounds yummy! I will have to try that.

I'm not fussed about pre-packed foods: I think one of the reasons SW works so well is the emphasis on cooking from scratch. The website definitely needs an overhaul, and though I think it's a good thing that all meetings follow the same format, I think the format itself needs looking at. An...

Honk!

Ooh yes, Appetite for Reduction is great! The Masala Baked Tofu and the Basic Tofu Scramble are two of my go-to recipes. I also forgot to say, if you are on a budget soy mince is good - cheaper than Quorn and you can just rehydrate as much as you need.

That's fantastic, well done!

I have been vegetarian for 30 years and SW works brilliantly for me. An added bonus is that on Green days you get two Hex A's and two Hex B's. I eat a lot of pulses - most veggie curry recipes can easily be adapted for SW. I also eat a fair amount of tofu - I know a lot of people don't like...

Also, I think SW is irrelevant in this situation: what on earth were they thinking to encourage you to drink when you were driving!?

honk!

Fruit for lunch would not keep me going till dinner time. I generally take some sort of couscous/rice salad, with beans/tomato/cucumber etc and a dressing (sometimes just a bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice). I make a big batch and it lasts me a few days (I vary the dressing/spices so it...

Well done on your loss so far!

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I love the "Manky Brown Nana Award"!! And I agree, the plan itself is fantastic, but the group format is very tired. Like a previous poster said, it is very contradictory to say that 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy loss, then applaud fanatically when someone has huge losses.

Honk!

Thank you!

A pound off for me yesterday, getting there slowly!

A pound off for me yesterday.

Honk!

Congratulations!

Honk!

Lovely bag! That's a really good idea as well, to have non-food rewards picked out!

That's brilliant Sam, well done! When I first started SW I didn't believe it was possible to eat that much food and lose weight, but it is!

That's great - congratulations!

That's fantastic - well done!

This is me too! I find I cope fine if I just don't have chocolate/biscuits/cake in the house at all, but I am incapable of stopping at just one. I stopped buying Hi-Fi bars or Alpen Lights because I would just keep getting up and fetching another one till I'd finished off the packet.

This is almost exactly what I was going to say! Are some of the SW "tweaks" exactly like the "real" thing? No. Are they better than me continuing to be miserable and unhappy? Absolutely yes.

Yes, just draw a line and start over. One bad night will not ruin the past three weeks. And don't try and "make up" for it by starving yourself today, because that will backfire on you (I have been guilty of this in the past)! Stick to the plan from today and you will be fine!

Congratulations, that's fantastic! I am feeling very inspired by everyone's losses!

Lost a pound and a half this week, ten to go to get into the 11's!

I wweighed in yesterday for the first time since my "restart", and lost one and a half pounds. Now to get the rest off!

My next goal is to hit the 12 stone mark - 11 pounds to go!

Well done! The staff room where I work is always full of biscuits that I find very hard to resist - I might steal your idea and take a pair of jeans to keep in my locker for motivation!

When I first started Slimming World, I think I did become a bit obsessed. Looking back I think I must have bored everybody witless. Luckily my family were very supportive, especially when they saw that A. it was working, and B. I was much happier. I agree with what others have said, try and...

The Green plan is brilliant for vegetarians. The vast majority of the foods that my meals were based on before are Free (tofu, Quorn, beans, pasta, rice, potatoes). Bulgar wheat, couscous and quinoa are all Free too. Soya mince is Free and cheaper than Quorn.

Hi, I just rejoined SW and weighed in on Wednesday at 12st 11.5 pounds. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

This is fabulous, thank you so much!

Good luck Cochen! I rejoined SW last night. I too hit my target weight ten years ago, losing five stone. I maintained it for about eight years, then the group I attended closed down, I didn't bother finding a new one, and now two years on I am over two and a half stone heavier! But enough is...

I am vegetarian so have always done solely Green days. I lost 5 stone in just under a year, so I would say it works! As has been said, it is important to remember to just eat till you're full. My first consultant had a saying that I loved: " Free Food doesn't mean 'eat till you throw up'!"

Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie (to this forum, but not to SW). I am not attending a group at the moment for various reasons, but will be weighing in here! I have been losing/gaining the same few pounds for the last six months, so hopefully this will help me hold myself to account!

Grapes and yoghurt - a bit boring but quick and easy.
