They always said you could though. Just that it's not recommended due to the mind games it plays with your head. Binging to then feel deprived the rest if the week is a diet, something slimming world have always said they are not. Slimming world like to recommend, they will never tell you what...

Not truly 100%. The book states it's 5 to 15 syns a day. Some people chose to save up syns but I personally wouldn't call doing that being 100% on plan. Having been a consultant I have heard all sorts which I won't indulge you with, but I found that mostly it comes back to the fact that they...

Ok fab I should have that. Will have a look. Thank you!! X

I have also got 8 stone to lose, and it does seem like a lot but like everyone else has said, break it down. I do think its a good idea to have an idea of what you are aiming for though, my old consultant would say that there is no point playing football without a goal! I think if you also think...

Is the gym a fairly new thing? You body will retain water to fix your muscles from the exercise so yes it can effect your losses. My brother only lost 1lb in his first week and I cant explain how gutted he was. The next week he lost 6, got SOTW and was averaging 3lbs a week after that for 4...

Wow!!! You got an award in your first week too! Incredible. I love reading people saying they eaten loads. Best DIET ever Dare I Eat That? Yes I do hehe xx

Wow thats great!! Times like this show that even 70% is better than 0! lol I always remember my old consultant saying that there were 21 meals in a day, and one, two even three meals wont ruin a week. You have proved that :D amazing result! Not far off that 2st either X

That sounds gorgeous!! Definitely going to try it x

Is this out if the curry book or a different recipe? As would love it please! X

I originally started nearly 5 years ago! But have been unwell over last year so started again last week and feeling amazing. Eating good really does make you feel good. I follow EE, no weighing or measuring and suits the whole family!! Love it. Bit nervous for weigh in, not as active as I used...

Sounding good! Like that you are logging your exercise too, I'm keeping a note so I can look back and think "I can do twice as much now!" Hehe that chicken sounds yummy too x

I'm probably not that far of the size of the first two, so maybe I'm just a bit oversensitive. Just I don't expect to see those kind of things on here.

Smash pizza!! Excited. Bases already made. Can't wait

Sometimes I feel thinner and I maintain, I feel huge and lose! It's mad. Hope it goes well tonight for you hun xx

I don't know if it's just me but I find those pictures of shoppers a little offensive. Its more than likely there are people on this forum that are that size and poking fun is not what this forum is about surely?

Haven't got my book to had but it always used to be 40, so it might have changed x

For yesterday 1. Walked nearly 3 miles!! :D was only marginally out of breath. 2. Make cottage pie with my brother and it disappeared very quickly by the whole family. 3. Third 100% day on plan!! :D :D

When I was a consultant, I would have people say I can't stay etc or don't want a new member talk but I preferred giving a talk as it meant I knew that they knew the plan correctly. Had so many people come who didn't! Was shocking. If they said they couldn't stay, I would point them to one of...

That's brilliant!! I love it went people say they have eaten more than ever before but get losses like that. Just shows that starvation is not the answer :) amazing sweety, absolutely amazing! X

Think it's only the French and Italian that are free. Needs to be less than 40cals per 100ml. I use quark and mix it with or sorts, like chives, onions, cheese (either hea or syns just makes it go further - stronger the cheese the better) a tbsp of sweet chilli sauce mixed with quark is...

40 cals hun x

Homemade leek and potato soup - amazing! From soup book. Made a huge pan and its all disappeared already. I feel like a good chef now :D x

You have done so well! Remember that and you can have that off easily next week. Good luck for week ahead, you can do it!! Xx

Your up very early to weigh hehe well done though hun, 1lb a week for a year is nearly 4 stone!! I try to aim for 10 syns knowing then I have 5 to spare for emergencies and that way I don't tend to worry too much and use about 80-90 on average over the week and this seems to give me optimum...

Could you not weigh it, and then guestimate? You will be able to find 30g chocolate syns online and then multiply up. Im sure it has to be near 200g. Very jealous! I love hotel chocolat chocolate, good job closest one is miles away now x

Now that I have one I don't understand how I survived without one! Love mine. Cooks so much stuff it's brilliant x

To be a heb your bread needs to be whole meal unless its on the list Otherwise looks alright. If you can try and get a little extra super free in there it will help speed your losses and keep you fuller for longer. At the top of the SW board are subcategories, one is food diaries where you...

These are for yesterday. 1. Second day on plan 100% and loving it!! 2. Kicked the cats out of bed so I could get some proper sleep. 3. Ignoring the negativity from my parents and encouraging my brother to stay strong with me :) I'm being selfish and I will lose weight!

I'm sure I saw mullers at morrisons at 10 for £2. I now can't find the post, am I imagining this?

Sounds so simple yet I have a fear I will burn a pan! Still tempted to try it though thanks x

When it says per 100g it's just to give a measurement. It's still free if you eat more than 100g but remember that it's free to satisfy your appetite. As far as I'm aware bog standard smash is free however much you each of it. Obviously with synned foods they give a measurement for amount of...

Who

Good luck!!!! Xx

I think fry light are very proud of you and so they should be!! So like to show you off hehe xx

Awww that's good to hear! Just read through the thread and I know it can be scary going from one diet to another but this isn't any old diet hehe most of us are carb lovers aswell as SW lovers xx

Haha yeah but if you had to choose... Thankfully we don't :D and my dad keeps serving me spag Bol with no cheese, I just given him this wtf look hehe x

You regularly pop up on my Facebook feed (from fry light) and always makes me smile that your a SWer. You've done so well and look stunning xx

Huge

Cheese is worth syns!! I could live without chocolate but never cheese!

Spot on! I love being able to say I can treat myself to chocolate because that's what it is, a treat. It's just become such a normal part of our diets now its lost its treat status. Syns are there to be used, just not abused x

Couldn't agree more! I have heard of people avoiding certain foods the day before, then starving themselves the whole of weigh day. This can't be good for your body. Keep at is, as its planned and it'll work :) x

I lost 6lbs in my first ever week :) well done hunny, fabulous start!! Xx

Unless you know how much difference there is between your scales and the SW ones this is likely to be completely inaccurate. SW ones are consistent where as mine change my weight if I move them an inch along the floor! Haha good luck for Tuesday xx

Hey, I think many many people on here will understand where you are coming from including myself! Group is really important for that motivation, I hate that I can't go at the moment :( getting back as soon as I can. Good luck for tonight and hope you get what you wish on the scales x

I've got at least 8 stone to loose, and it's really good to know what you are aiming for but setting mini goals to get to your big one makes it easier :) zelda the greatest loser last year lost 20 stone!! She said she knew where she wanted to be which made a big difference. You wouldn't play...

I'm sure I have read skimmed milk has gone down to 350ml again. It is hard to keep a track of! I personally wouldn't recommend saving up all your syns just for the weekend. SW say 5-15 a day. Just means your not missing out on thing like ketchup and don't feel like you are on a diet so more...

Nope sounds all fine to me! I'd just say to check the veg bags as my friend was buying ones that had butter added or something and so obviously not syn free. If on the ingredients it just says veg then your fine :) a fab day xx

I tend to aim for 10 syns a day, as it means I then have an extra 5 if I need them. For emergency type thing. If I have 10 a day for most the week then need a few more at the weekend I kind of say, well I have a few spare if I need them! Dont like to completely run out! The thought scares me haha x

I find most the cheap ones dont have oil in, and the expensive ones do. But yeah, last christmas it became free and I am unaware that it has changed. Has anyone ever found garlic puree without oil?

You have the most amazing figure! Stunning legs, flat tummy, amazing boobs! Very jealous hehe well done sweety, you have done truely amazing! xx

Do you post a food diary on here? That's the first port of call as sometimes things can creep in that are free or misunderstandings. That might not be the case but would help us to see what things you like etc. Drinking enough water can also effect weight losses. Have you ever tried an sas...

Also forgot to add, I know you can on comp under your profile see which threads you started. When you get to 50 post you can see your profile. Someone with 50 will have to let me know if this is the case on phones too x

I'm guessing the apps are similar... I'm on iPhone. In the more bit, far right button, there are threads you are subscribed to. Ones you have commented in etc. I tend to clear out the busier ones like what's for tea and you'll find it in there. I think you can fav threads as well but not worked...

There is a lot to take in at first, but keeping a food diary really makes a difference and were all here behind you and ready to support you if you need anything :) good luck hun x

I had this over Christmas and was horrible! Really sympathise hun. I dosed myself up on pain killers and cold&flu and was they only way I could get outa bed so well done for getting to work. Hope your feeling better soon xx

Agree with everyone, it is withdrawal. I could drink litres and litres of diet coke but gave it up for health reasons. Feel so much better off it. I had a glass last night though "as a treat" (I'm sad I know but no booze as well means I deserve something hehe) and was up all night!! Craziness x

I remember having ww ones years ago and I don't know why but my brain remembers them being quite mushroomy and grainy. Mushrooms are the only thing I'm not a huuuuge fan off. I wouldn't trust my brain atm though so ill get some to try thanks :) x

Thank you!! Makes so much sense now haha just could not get there. It's a bit to travel to nearest sainsburys but for good sausages its worth it!! Haha thanks x

Could you tell me more about LM sausages? I normally get the tesco ones but my brother doesn't like them so looking for alternatives. Thanks x

You are able to take more paracetamol 4 hours later so I don't see why not. Whats hurting hun? Hope you find someway to ease the pain x

Ahh makes sense. I did a year of teaching and it caused my mental breakdown (bad experience! Long story) so know how that feels. Ill just have to stay here and keep posting some more! Haha x

I replied to this!!! Seems to have disappeared... You can try green and original days if you wish, but it's not compulsory. Many people just follow extra easy for their whole journey. Nothing changes at all, exact same plan. Good luck for tomorrow, I remember how scary my first weigh in was...

It can't just be me who read HRM and though... What? Her royal majesty? Lol x

I agree with the people above, go for the water. It will help to get that full feeling, although I do think we just have days where our brains wish to punish us and make us hungry all day. Chewing gum normally takes my mind off food. Or munching on raw carrots as they take a long time, as I find...

Love this idea! 1. First day back on plan and feeling amazing! 2. Organised fridge and tin cupboard to help me with cooking. Knowing what we have in makes a difference I think. 3. My parents have already given up for this week (diet always starts tomorrow eh?) but I'm on a mission. Worked...

You can try green and original days if you wish, but it's not compulsory. Many people just follow extra easy for their whole journey. Nothing changes at all, exact same plan. Good luck for tomorrow, I remember how scary my first weigh in was. Let us know how you get on :) x

Unfortunately I can't read your diary as its on the silver member bit I think! :( xx

Just had pork vindaloo (like planned) with rice and Bombay potatoes. 3 syns for mango chutney. Was gorgeous! After nearly finishing realised I meant to take a picture as I find looking back over meal pictures really inspiring. Was just too yummy!

Hooooooooooooooooooonk!!! First 100% day in at least 9 months and feeling great because of it :D

General rule is that if someone is 15st+ 15syns, 20st+ 20 syns, 25st+ 25 syns This is the maximum. So in theory as no one ways 5st everyone should have more than 5 syns a day hehe it's up to the consultant, some don't even know they are able to give more but it's important. As someone with a...

You can retain water after exercise to help the muscles heal from the work out so sometimes this shows on the scales but keep with it and it will show :) I know a lady who did the marathon and gained 4lbs that week! All water though, was back off week after xx

Yeah, when I lived over in Chester. I loved it! Didn't help my weight loss journey though. I'm taking some time out to focus on me and get me healthy and happy again. Have fun on Tuesday! Xx

But that's like two mouthfuls!! Hehe normally they advertise them as "kiddy" bananas but still, just epically cute :)

Sounds like you have made a great start! Just like people have said before, remember that you are allowed your syns for what ever you want! An enjoy them :) just keeping track will help you stay on control xx

Hey, I have been through teacher training and just wanted to say I know how hard it is!! Never underestimate how well you are doing if you manage to loose weight during this year. Only thing that got me through was being fully organised at weekends. Took Sunday to organise food, whether that's...

I used to go to Debbies in colwyn bay nearly 4 years ago now, but I dont have two pennies to rub together :( or I would be back there in a flash! Are you at group? As soon as I have sorted my finances I plan on going back to group as I love it!x

If you have 15 a day, thats 105 a week, thats 3 and half bottles of wine!! Hehe although having all your syns at once kind of takes the control away for me. I have decided to give up wine for my health - I know! Crazy. I was drinking nearly a bottle a night from stress. I do miss it, but after...

That is the smallest cutest banana I have EVER seen!!x

Aww thank you! Weight loss can only be positive surely?! And its taken me a while to get to this positive point, but once you have been at the lowest point possible the only way is up! I don't have a diary, only started this profile/plan today but I do plan on starting one. I am pretty scared it...

Does anyone use pinterest? I found a load of photos of beautiful women and pinned them to a board for my "thin"spiration except they arent those stick think models. Just got me thinking of doing the same with dresses! I have looked at my board a few times and so far found it really inspiring :)...

My incentives at the moment are quite big. Probably too big! After struggling with my depression for the last 18 months, slowly getting worse, I had to give up my job, lost my bf, moved back in with my parents at 24 where we dont really get on and ended up in a&e two weeks ago with a really...

Hello welsh ladies! I am from colwyn bay too, and so nice to see that there are people local to me :) We are so lucky with lovely places to walk aswell. Hope you are well lovelies x

Dont eat chicken skin and yourll be fine :) hehe x

Pork Vindaloo from the curry book, with rice and bombay potatos. Its in the fridge at the minute and smells amazing! Been such a long time since I made it - excited!

I am an ex consultant, and we were always told to recommend moving the fat just so that you werent tempted to eat it. The theory that fat is absorbed into the meat is just not true. Obviously if you were going to make a stew with chicken legs, then removing the skin is needed or it would just...

Thats an amazing difference! Looking lovely hunny X
