I wanted a diet plan to follow for 2weeka - 1moths to be really strict and get my back on the right path. I've seen exante and slim and save and some others and they all seem similar. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?

Not exactly stuck to plan today, mainly because we didn't get to Tesco until 3pm. However I am now organised. Have all that I need to have a good start. Saying that I've been fairly good, I have a really tasty slow cooked chicken casserole this evening. Tomorrow I will continue to be good and...

Anyone know of almond milk is a hexA still? I think the new plan sounds good. Still deciding which took know. Tomorrow is y last 'naughty day' although the slow cooker will be on, 7 veg in it :)

Sounds lovely :)

Wow....What a lovely year. This time a year ago I was a lovely healthy happy weight and then I got pregnant. I started with good intentions of staying away from 'I can have what I want because I'm pregnant' excuse but the last 3 months I did go a bit crazy. So I had my beautiful girl 4 months...

Thanks

Can i buy the regular mince, cook it and drain the fat off. Or do I need to spend the extra on less than 5% I'm just planning my shopping list.

Cheers Hun. That worked when I logged in :)

Thanks!! Didn't work for some reason but I'll get them soon enough

Where can I find the food lists (healthy extras & free food) online? I'm on the slimming world website and logged in. Loads info on SP but can't set new lists

Don't think affects me too much. I'm breastfeeding so get healthy extras galore :)

I'm just asking what I don't know.......what are vegetarians missing out on? 1 healthy extra? I thought the quorn and veggie meat was free anyway. I'm just curious as there seems to be some annoyed people who do green days. Have they incorporated the healthy extras from green days (I'm sure...

There is an article about it on the website that explains the changes and has a FAQ section. Explains it all.

Me too! Had my baby girl 4 months ago and gained a stone during my pregnancy booo but she's worth it :)

I don't think it sounds low carb as all the fruit is still allowed. It sounds more balanced to me. I am looking forward to starting and seeing how it goes.

I think it sounds like a better plan. Does anyone know if it's okay to do 3 EE days and 4 EE SP days. Or any variation? I think I'd like that option.

I had a baby in September and want to lose the extra weight. I'll start New Years Eve I think as I am going out on 30th. I loved weight watchers in the past as their phone app really kept me on track. It was simple and easy to use. I have heard the slimming world app doesn't track food, it just...

Okay! Thanks for the advice. I can think of two shops. One a health food shop and the other a polish food shop (that's usually stocks all the food tesco doesn't sell) I will have a look. I don't wanna tweak the plan too much as my losses are so bad. But I did notice the USA list has wild rice...

Well if the potato has no butter then it is free isn't it? You would have to propoint the 5 Bean chilli I think. Take a look at the wether spoons website, it has all the nutrition info on it.

Hello everyone, I know brown rice is free on simply filling. I have never been a fan, I prefer wild rice or paella/risotto. Does anyone know any larger rice such as paella or risotto that is free? Or a brand of these rices that are brown/wholemeal? I did look in tesco but struggled to see...

Hi, Jamie Oliver posted this recipe on his twitter and its 100% SF :) So it's crumpet eggy bread. Wisk 2 eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Soak 4 crumpets in the mixture (absorbs nice and quick) then fry in a pan. I used olive oil. You need to flip them so both sides cook Serves...

I try to eat 1400-1600 per day as I exercise most days. Any less then I don't tend to drop any weight, my body just holds onto it. Also I find mfp overestimates calories burned so be careful with that.

Well done! day 1 done for me! I can actually do proper push-ups now, but can only do about 8. So I have to switch to girlie ones.

laurenmay -- 0 out of 30 workouts completed. ndz -- 0 out of 30 workouts completed. Cas3 -- 2 out of 30 workouts completed. Lisa123-- 2 out of 30 workouts completed. Slim -- 0 out of 26 workouts completed. I'm currently doing Jillian Michaels 'Making the Cut' it's a 30 day diet and exercise...

Hi Guys!! So first of all I am going to weigh in 1 months time, and retake my measurements in 1 months time. Here they are today: Height = 5ft9 Weight= 168lbs Around Bust (Wearing bra) - 38" Under Bust - 33" Waist - 31" Around Belly Button - 39" Hips - 42" Thigh - 24.5" Top of arm - 11.5"...

The weight watchers simply filling plan is good as well. Lots of free food, certain breads, oats, potatoes, wholewheat pasta, rice, all fruit and veg etc. then you have your 49weeklies for extras. Then if you want a pp day you can have one I've done weight watchers simply filling and slimming...

I don't know what is wrong with me this year, I just can't make my mind up with what i'm doing. I keep switching diets and not sticking with anything. So that is going to change RIGHT NOW! I am doing slimming word. FULL STOP So 99 days until I get married. Seems the perfect chance to start...

I've started the day well....lots of choices at the hotel breakfast this morning.....but I had Breakfast Fresh Fruit Black Coffee Baked Beans, Poached eggs & Wholemeal Toast I'm counting the bread as simply filling as i only had one slice and it was wholemeal. Planned... Lunch Homemade Soup...

Aww thanks! My aim is to lose about 3 or 4lbs so I am in a healthy weight range. I know it won't change my figure but mentally I won't be overweight, I've come too far to stop at a bmi of 25.2 lol! Then I just want to continue with the workouts and get ripped :)

Just thought I'd take a photo as I am getting ready to go out.... This is me at 168lbs. Almost a healthy bmi eeek My dress is loose so I know it doesn't show my shape but I'm starting to feel like I don't look 'big' anymore. I've lost 3 stone so slowly I'm becoming more confident. Anyway...

Not updated past few days as I've been so busy! Not had chance to breathe! Things will be back to normal from Saturday! Anyway I've just had a lovely home cooked valentines meal. Lemon steamed fish and scallops with pesto pasta with purple broccoli. I used me SF oil allowance to make the...

Hiya! Welcome! Do you have a diary? The Dahl recipe is here: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/96608/sweet-potato-spinach-and-lentil-dahl

Okay so it has been a quiet weekend. I have been very busy and eaten out twice but I weighed in this morning at 168lbs and it is TOTM so that is a loss and I'm happy! Today has been a crappy food day! Especially because we had pancakes at work and the same again tonight. I've stuck within...

I did simply filling for 2 months last year and lost about the same amount as I did on pp. I think the bread products that are free & porridge free a positive for me. I wish it included cheese tho lol!

Okay my diary has been moved over to weight watchers! I'm good to go! From tomorrow back to 28pp per day :)

Good Luck to You 2!! Do you go to meetings? Or from home?

Thanks Hun! It's good to hear! Reassurance is good! :)

I'm on day 5 and so far I am finding it okay..but I can't help thinking I'm going wrong. Could someone check my diary here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-food-diaries/307461-slims-dream-body.html And see if it looks okay? I am doing slimming world online as I don't have a local...

That's interesting. I find red days are not promoted as much as green and extra easy. So it will be good for some ideas

On my iPad it says 'upload photo' when I reply.

You need 50 posts to be able to upload pics I think.

7.5 is quite a lot compared to the tesco brand. But as long as they taste nice :)

Nice one! I love Stilton! X

Oats Cheese Yummy!! Obviously by together

Do you guys all work with biscuit munchers. I say no at least 4 times a day and they never stop asking. EVER

What about.....a new book? (Or 2nd hand) Buy all the ingredients to try a recipe (sw friendly) you want to try. Sometimes I don't try recipes as there too expensive

They do great premade salads in assault and the dressings are in sachets! So optional

That made me giggle lol

I save money by buying fruit and veg from the market instead of tesco. And bulk making meals and freezing portions

Boring old....porridge, milk and banana

I've always been fit and healthy. I could run 10k while being overweight. But I just wanted to look and feel sexy. So that is why I'm doing jr. Rather vein lol

The lamb shanks in minted gravy on extra easy are 1.5 (Frozen) Free (chilled) It doesn't specify how many though, just the pack. Green day values very high. Do you have the brands for the other items. Basic beef stewed in gravy is 1 syn per 100g.

Good luck for WI!

I think calorie counting takes away from the whole plan. Eat when your hungry, no weighing etc. Plus it's not always calories its the type of food you eat. I must admit I am worried for no loss this week. I e been doing weight watchers which is more calorie controlled in my opinion. I don't...

I have 1/3 super free no matter what day. Veg bulks out meals and keeps me full :)

Just reread this. Never hurts to read it again :)

I've read the first page again and I understand that Main meal - 1/3 free. 2/3 superfree. So the 1/3 free I don't have to syn as the higher number do I. I only syn the higher number on snacks.

I think sometimes it is a matter of how bad you want it. I wanted to lose weight for years. But always tried and it never worked. I tricked myself into believing I wasn't cheating and my body just wouldn't lose weight. I even went to GP for thyroid test as I was certain. Then last year...

Day 2 - Week 1 Green Breakfast Rice Pudding (a) & Banana Orange Lunch Wetherspoons - 5 Bean Chill (6) Wetherspoons - Portion of veg (getting my superfree) Wetherspoons - Fruit & Yogurt Dinner Cheese (a) & Ham(1) Toastie(b) + 1 Egg + sauce (1) Celery and carrot sticks Snacks 6 x Crispbreads (b)...

I just get them every other week. The popcorn is low syns. The dried fruit/nuts often works out as a healthy extra. I don't get the flapjack or chocolate ones. I get the under 100 calorie box. So everything is normally about 60-90 calories. But I pay £2.29 as that was the price I originally...

Oh wow! 9 syns for chicken. Thanks for that. I'll stick to boring 5 bean chilli then. I hate eating out on slimming world. It's so hard, I can never guess anything.

Rice pudding for breakfast is food abuse? If its 1/3 superfree then surely its fine?

Omg! I was almost sick reading this. Couscous pancakes? How do they taste? I've seen so many random recipes sice joining here. Smah pizza, smash scones, porridge pancakes, couscous cake, couscous pancakes.

I've copied this off NHS: In addition to milk, there are a variety of foods that contain calcium and can help children get sufficient levels of calcium in their daily diet. Some examples include: Milk, yogurt, cheese Broccoli, kale, spinach Oranges Tofu, peanuts, peas, black beans, baked beans...

I'm the same....I always check. But all pasta/noodles that are dry are free.

I love these. It's perhaps the only ready meal I buy. 1/2 syn....what a bargin

I do the same, you could write it down in a note book and follow the same recipe in the future. Then you only need to work it out once

Tesco and asda do their own branded packs. Do you have them shops? I think most shops do their own version of them though and the syns are all online

Smash for cheese scones??? How strange. I just looked at syns online and I can't find it anywhere. I would imagine it will be pretty similar to the ones you have had. Sometimes it is a game of guessing when the information isn't available to is. If its pretty similar quantity and ingredients...

Hiya! Well done on 5lb loss! How amazing! I hope I do that we'll at first WI!

I am also interested in this. I am going to wetherspoons tomorrow and this looks like one of the better options. It isn't on the slimming world app unless I'm looking wrong? Superfood wholewheat pesto pasta, with chicken 770 kcal Wholewheat pasta, nut free pesto, mixed peppers, cherry tomatoes...

I thought that too :)

Hi guys, I already had a diary set up but I just want a fresh start. So today is my first official day as I WI Saturdays! An Extra Easy Day Breakfast 2 x Thick Wholemeal Toast (b + 6) Butter (2) Banana, Grapes, Apple & Fat free yogurt Lunch Omelette - Pepper, onion, tomato, mushroom, ham...

The only meal I know that is free (as I myself cook from scratch like you) is 'tin of asda chickpea dahl) And I think tesco light choices chicken in tomato and basil sauce is very low syn. Then obviously there is all the pasta n sauce things. She could cook some meals and freeze portions?

I'm not sure which works best. But don't be upset by small loses. I had either 1lb a 1/2 lb loss most weeks last year. But that equalled 40lbs over a year. It's just one step in the right direction. Green and red have extra healthy extras. That's why I love these days! But I can see why people...

I think loads of people have had great losses doing extra easy. I don't eat a lot of meat so I have mainly green days. As then I get an extra a & b. But I don't overeat when I do an extra easy day. It's about listening to when your body is hungry and when it isn't. Plus making sure 1/3 of your...

Okie Dokie! Best re syn my cous cous lol

I don't have to take the higher syn value if it is part of a meal. Only the snacks. That is right isn't it?

My first success express day tomorrow. Can someone check this for me: So far so good. I am planning tomorrows diary, my first success express day!! Breakfast 35g Porridge (b) Milk (a) Grated Apple, Cinnamon Orange Lunch Cous Cous (2s) beetroot, cucumber, celery Dinner Spinach & Lentil Dahl...

Hi! I've recently swapped from ww where I had the app to track all my foods. I'm struggling without it following slimming world. How do you guys track your syns/healthy extras? Do you use a diary on minimins? Paper diary? Phone app? I can't get along with the slimming world mobile site on my...

Omg! I wish I could lose 20lbs in 4 weeks! I'd be at target! Wow this has inspired me to go and get my ass in gear ad stop being lazy! Lol

Looks interesting! Can't see it on syn calculator! I might have a look when I do my shopping.

Well this is how I see it: 3 meals a day. Each meal has to contain at least 2/3 superfree foods 2 HEXB & 1 or 2 HEXA All food that is eaten as snacks needs to be synned at the higher amount. ie mugshots would never be free as they arnt on red days. 5- 15 syns per day Okay here are...

I did the workout last year! I never lost loads of weight during it but I lost inches. Had stomach muscles for the first time ever. My fitness from start to end improved A LOT. It is hard tho lol! And you sweat loads.

I just have to add: I WILL STICK TO THIS

I did.....Jillian Michaels 'Shed & Shred' workout 1&2. :) First day back after a bad ankle. Feels good to be back! Just need to stick to the exercise now. Last year I got to the point I could run 10k. Now I feel so unfit.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my food diary. I am Sarah, I'm 27 and I'm getting married this year :D I lost 40lbs last year and I am starting to feel more body confident, after 3 months off Yikes!! (But no weight gain I may add) I am ready to try and reach my target! I plan to do Green Days and...

This really interests me :D I may have to read through all these messages when I have time. To drill it in my brain

Hi! I soooo need this :D 4 WIs in feb!! I want to lose 8lbs! That might be ambitious but i've been off plan for a while so I think I can do this :D

I went to market today on my lunch break and this stall had 3 mangos for £1 Mmmm one of my fave fruits and so cheap! I also got 8 Clementines for £1 And some avocado. That's my snacking sorted :)
