Hope you have been doing ok I restarted my diary http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/313547-first-day-rest-my-life.html

Today I've done ok breakfast was 2x alpen light bars as my heb lunch was free chilli and grapes aafterwards tea was 2 x sausages (1syns) 2 x fried egg and 3 slices of lean bacon and a flake from a multipack later which I will syn but I've not gone over 15 I may have some strawberries too

Oh no heb today as didn't feel like it and hea I use as,ilk for tea but only had 2 cups of tea so didn't get anywhere near my allowance

So today has been good. I skipped breakfast as I over slept but had cous cous for lunch with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, rocket and a hard boiled egg. Had grapes to snack on and a lemon Greek muller light 0.5syns. Tea was 2 asda cod fillets in sweet chilli sauce 1 syn with cous cous and mixed...

Ended up taking the yoghurt out of the freezer and just eating as it was not frozen. Just had a lean lamb and mint grill made by moi 0 syns. Had a jacket potato with it and some roasted veg (onions, tomatoes, shallots and courgette). Going to have strawberries and a squirt of light cream.

Yikes had a subway for lunch but went for the turkey and ham on the grain bread as lower calories. 280 calories. Just had a handful of frozen grapes an just popped a Turkish delight muller light in the freezer.

Breakfast today is a few slices of gorgeous thick bacon from the farm shop with the fat cut off and fried eggs with 2 half syn sausages with mushrooms. Today is going to be a 100% day properly syn counting no excuses. I can do this. Not sure what to have for lunch yet it's either chilli or...

Today has been ok i had lean bacon and 2 fried eggs for breakfast with 3 half syn sausages. I was at hospital at lunch and really struggled I ended up having the meat from inside a pork pie and a bag of walkers crisps which were 9 syns. I had cheese as my hea and a handful of grapes as a...

Not been great the last few days as struggling to recover but I'm getting there. I've just made some chilli and going to portion it out and freeze it. Just done a big bowl of Mediterranean roast veg which again I can freeze and got some lovely strawberries from the farm shop

I'm doing extra easy but I will probably throw in the occassional red or green day just to mix it up a bit

Hope you are doing ok? You are motivated doing body jam I just can't even think about that lol

The carbonara was lovely and totally free yum yum its hard being so ill and off work I just tried to walk down the road as the sun is out but I really struggled. I made it to the spar to pick up a few bits I don't normally go in there and I realised they don't sell much free food yikes. Came...

Well this isn't my first diary but I'm hoping my last. ive been an on/off sw member for a few years ago and first time roun i lost 1st 4lbs and felt great. Regretably I made the mistake of stopping group and put it all back on. I've been back a few times and lost a few pound here and there but...

Been away for a while as been in hospital. I have asthma and I've had a few attacks. Unfortunately I've been put on steroids which will mess with my weight loss no matter what I do. today I've done ok considering. b: lean bacon, 2 poached eggs and 2 low fat sausages (1 syn each) nothing for...

Hello chick I'm back been in and out of hospital with asthma attacks and been put on steroids which will be sure to screw my weight loss. hope you are doing ok?

Well I weighed myself this morning and I had put on 3.5 lbs so not as bad as I thought but don't want to let it get worse

Hi chic I've been in hospital unexpectedly and just it home. I feel physically better but I've piled weight on an know I'm going to find it tough. I need to catch up on your thread but looks like you've been struggling. Hope you are feeling a bit better.

Sounds like you are doing great. Wisdom teeth are enough to send anyone off the rails so well done for persevering. I've been ok today had my 2x alpen light and had chilli for lunch goin to have sausages mash and gravy for tea so about 3 syns for sausages and had 2 tunnocks tea cakes 11 syns

Hi yeh drain pasta and turn heat right down the pour in 3 beaten eggs and keep stirring. The gentle heat will partially cook the egg but it will remain slightly moist. The Parmesan adds taste but the egg keeps it creamy. Obviously not recommended for pregnant women. I have it with chicken bacon...

Ok so after a rubbish weekend here is today's diary; breakfat was a banana lunch was free chilli com carne followed by a lot of grapes. late afternoon crave was a twix (14 syns) tea is going to be chicken and bacon carbonara 0 syns and I'm going to resist the marshmallow tea cakes in the cupboard.

I just mix 3 beaten eggs into the pasta off heat and it cooks through slightly but coats the pasta so tastes creamy. Then I just add a bit if Parmesan to taste.

Sounds lovely Sarah very well organised. I got weighed in yesterday and had gained 1.5lbs. Not so bad considering. I can deal with it. Today I've had a banana going to have chilli for lunch and chicken carbonara for tea

I've not really used it for that much I've only ever done chips in it. It's not bad. your tea sounds fab you wouldn't be eating that on ww

Just had my tea was delish but lots of mash left over so that takes care of tomorrow. I will do Sw chips in the actifryer I think tomorrow and maybe have that with chilli for lunch. Ooh so much choice. May also have to do a trip to the supermarket and buy a few low syn treats to fend off temptation

Just realised nice got some spuds left so I may have Sw chips with mushy peas if m peckish in the afternoon as I often am when I'm off.

I've just worked out possible meals for tomorrow so I have a plan (I'm off tomorrow so I can be good). breakfast will probably be egg on toast (ww bread) lunch will be cous cous with spring onion and tomatoes or left over chilli. tea will be some form of chicken curry I think.

Keep going Sarah. im getting a grip now. Today hasn't been great, not horrendous but not good. I think I needed to get it out of my system. Today I've had 2 bags of crisps, 6 Jaffa cakes and a slice of crusty bread and butter. Breakfast was 2 slices of WW bread and 3x boiled eggs so that was ok...

Thanks Sophie. Im struggling at the moment. I've just been diagnosed with a condition that makes me prone to dvt so I need to reduce my risks somehow. I've had such a terrible week at work and I've been comfort eating i think so I really need to get myself in gear. It's not helped that I...

Hello there. Glad you got started ok. ive had a terrible weekend so far but gonna try to pull it back. Felt terrible this morning and didn't make it to weigh in

How's the start to Sw going? I've had a terrible few days went really off plan last night and had a pizza and chocolate. Yikes. Got to pull it back now.

Right today was ok but that's about it. breakfast was an alpen light lunch was cous cous, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and spring onion. 2nd alpen light in car on way home and tea was gammon egg and the left over cous cous salad and a kit Kat 5.5 syns really think I need to eat a bit more as it...

We can do this girls

Fried eggs in fry light, mushrooms, bacon, reduced fat sausages (1syn each) and a few rustic oven chips roughly 1syn. Was very nice really enjoyed it was a great idea for tea.

I'm really getting back into the swing of it now without even thinking about it. Had an all day breakfast today for tea yum yum and some pink and whites for desert lol

Ok so didn't post yesterday as had a rubbish day. I had my faithful Alpen light bar for breakfast then cous cous, tomatoes and chicken for lunch and a cheeky McDonald's blowout for tea oops and didn't count the syns. today was better but only after I overslept by an hour yikes!!! i had a banana...

Good girl welcome to the dark side lol. I've been naughty today did so well until tea time then had a McDonald's oops

I've booked for July 6th yikes best get a move on. I'm hoping this week at work is better than the last so I feel stronger to resist the urges

It's a good excuse but I'm gonna try not to use it too often. My hands are frozen. I want comfort food.

Just had tea which was pasta, meatballs, mushrooms and passata. My OH had fresh pasta which looked lush but I didn't give in I just had dried pasta. Then I had 2x 2 finger kit kats 11 syns so had my 15 in total today.

You can do it. You are capable and you will be there before you know it. Ive not been great as I had another crumpet this afternoon but I was sooooo cold so that was my excuse.

Well today has been ok all not really stopped to enjoy food. breakfast was an alpen light bar and lunch was a Sw quiche made with pasta, mushroom, tomatoes and onions. Had 1 crumpet 4 syns

I also fit into my dress and got compliments so I was happy

So after my weigh in yesterday I had a hectic weekend. i had my heb for breakfast 2x slices WW toast 1 alpen light 3 syns was my lunch then I was out for a meal we went to an Italian and I love the pâté there so had that then had pasta in a tomato sauce with bacon and vegetables yum I didn't...

Well I've had a few extras oops a few wines and bacardis last night went for a meal and had a pasta dish. Avoided buffet food. Had a Sw cooked breakfast this morning with a crumpet. Could have been worse though

That's fabulous we'll done

Hope your weigh in went well. I lost another 2lb so 5.8lbs in two weeks I'm so pleased

Was my weigh in today and I lost another 2lbs so that makes 5.8lbs I'm total which I'm so pleased about in just two weeks.

I did have 2 x 2 finger kit kats though but it's still only 11 syns all day. Just booked a holiday so got some great motivation now to look good in that bikini. We went on a cruise last year and although it was amazing I just went mad. I put on loads but I didn't have loads of cakes or burgers...

It did cheer me up and I did have my tea. Chicken breasts but that was all. At least it was something.

Hi we are pretty similar weights and aiming for similar. My diary is linked here we could buddy up. I try to check in every day even if just to write down what I'm eating. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/310207-here-we-go-again.html

Had a really terrible day at work today bonus was that it was my colleagues turn to do lunch. Breakfast didn't happen although I planned two slices of WW whole meal toast. lunch was a gigantic pear, with salmon mushroom asparagus (and peppers but I picked them out as don't like them) with...

Well done for resisting temptation. ive had an awful week at work which all came to a head before lunch. I took two slices of bread for my breakfast and by 10am I was in tears and hasn't even had a drink. So breakfast went down the pan and didn't really have an appetite after that. I did have...

I've not really planned today which scares me. Think I will have two slices of ww toast as that's my healthy extra b choice but i will have it at work so I don't pick on biscuits. Lunch is made by my colleague and tea is yesterday's left over chilli seeing as I had pork chop instead.

I've done Sw before when no one in my office has been doing it and found it quite lonely so it's great they've started. Plus one of the girls fellas is a chef so when he cooks its usually gorgeous

There's 4 of us in our office that do it so we take turns cooking lunch and its them I'm at the party with so we are avoiding the buffet by having a pre party meal

I'm out on Saturday for a meal at an Italian then a party afterwards. Going to drink Bacardi and diet coke and probably going to have pasta in a tomato sauce. My colleague is making pasta with salmon and asparagus for our lunch tomorrow and I'm in my office all day which is when I usually...

Sounds yummy i was going to have left over chilli that I had made for my colleagues and had for lunch but my OH has just made me pork chop, jacket potato and mushrooms. I had chilli for lunch with rice and some Sw trifle (0.5syns) at lunch. May have a kit Kat later

Really noticing a difference today my work trousers are slack and I love it. breakfast was 2x alpen light bars lunch was chilli made in the slow cooker for my colleagues. Extra lean mince beef (no quorn left), onions, mushrooms, peas, tin of chopped toms, tin of mixed beans and a tin of baked...

How have you done today? Hope you've stuck to your diary.

I haven't seen them are they filling?

I make a batch of super speed soup a freeze a few portions always handy very filling and really speeds up weight loss

I weigh in on Saturday morning too so let's do it keep going

Yippee fabulous

You can do it!! when is your weigh in? W have all been there its rubbish. Keep going the main thing is you haven't given up.

Draw a line under it and move on. 13 pp is less than 20 or 25. You could have done worse and you have still exercised :)

Don't think beans are super free but they are super speed and you've had salad and fruit so don't sweat it

Thanks ladies. had a really bad day at work today horrendous in fact and really proud that I resisted a buttered potato cake at the end if the day. skipped breakfast again oops very naughty of me but just got so busy it would have been an alpen light bar or two. lunch was a beef curry with...

Breathe in

I'm doing well. Managed to stay within my syns today and eaten loads so feeling satisfied. Starting to notice a difference now

Choccyfan72 is right we are all human unfortunately and if it was easy we wouldn't be doing this is the first place. I'm sure it will happen more than once but next time you will have the courage to face it.

I've read the WW threads and people are starving. I haven't been too hungry, tonight I've had an all day breakfast whereas a friend on WW has had stir fry for the 5th night running.

Well done your menu looks yummy keep going x x

Hi I am not new to slimming world but rejoined a week ago I am new to this site though. Keep sharing and reading for inspiration

I had quorn meatballs with mushroom and passata sauce made by a colleague in our lunch club.

Looks fine to me. Have a look at some of the food diaries for inspiration. Try to snack on speed food like berries and citrus or tomatoes if you have too but also increase the portions of meals if you are hungry but keep it free

Tomorrow is another day just draw a line under it and move forward

Good keep it up at least you have kept to it all day

I do it every day just can't help it. I try to do it only in the morning when I wake up. I know I shouldn't but really can't help it.

I've joined and posted in a few of the sub forums as well

I know no one is probably reading this but it helps me to write things down. ive felt a bit hungrier today. breakfast = 1x alpen light lunch = pasta, quorn meatballs and passata sauce with mushrooms and a miller light yoghurt i started eating some strawberries but they tasted a bit sour...

I tried the WW squash at weekend was nice

You see I'm on the dark side lol (Sw) so I just eat chipped potatoes when I'm peck ish with my own tomato salsa yum or I have chicken pieces in the fridge to munch on

Oh no that's tragic. I would struggle then. Must say I've been suitably stuffed although not tried WW yet

Roast some chipped potatoes to pick at.

What kind of things are free

It can't be right to feel hungry. I can't get my head round it.

I probably broke etiquette but I posted my food diary in my weight loss diary as more simple to put it in one place

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/310207-here-we-go-again.html

Last year I had a stone to lose and lost half a stone in 3 weeks before I went. My second half stone takes a bit longer to come off. Trouble was I then gained it back on holiday.

If you are in the gym too your body may now be building muscle

I added some chorizo sausage 28g = 2.5 syns and plum tomatoes to tea. Very yummy.

Breakfast.... Nothing, naughty I know but forgot to eat the alpen lights that I had planned and by time I remembered it was lunch time lunch... Half a slimming world quiche made with savoury curry rice, eggs and low fat cottage cheese with added chicken grapes as a mid afternoon snack...

Well I'm still going breakfast today was going to be 2x alpen light bars but I didn't actually eat them as I got so busy at work I forgot then it was lunch. Lunch was half a slimming world quiche made with savoury curry rice, eggs, 150g low fat cottage cheese and added chicken yum my...

Just get to where you are happiest and where you find it easiest to maintain. I would love to be 10st 11lb but I just can't maintain it then when I gain I feel fed up and comfort eat so that why I adjust my expectations of myself

I want to lose another stone really. The first time I did Sw I lost 1st 4lb and that was the slimmest I've been for years but made the mistake of not returning after an all inclusive holiday and christmas.

It's great that you've still counted the syns though rather than just giving up and having no idea. At least that way you can draw a line under it and move on

Hi Sarah thought I would check in here looks like you are doing really well especially with exercise so keep going

I keep a file of all the recipes I find and if I see something I may want or need to remember I take a photo and keep it in my phone so the next time I go shopping I have ideas

Here's my thread if you want to read http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/310207-here-we-go-again.html

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/310207-here-we-go-again.html This is my journey and I'm going to post my food diary in same place. ive done Sw before and lost loads but for various reasons gained again (excuses excuses) so hence why I've joined on here too

Ok putting my food diary in here too as think it will be easier to follow in one place. yesterday I had to visit the mother in laws and her cooking isn't exactly Sw friendly so I had: breakfast was 2 fried egg in fry light and 4 slices of bacon no fat 1 x Allen light bar on the way (heb choice)...

I started one under the slimming world section in weight loss diaries entitled 'here we go again' as I've done it a few times lol I have a food diary too in the corresponding thread however will put them together

That would be great. I've never done WW how do you find it?

I managed to sneak in a two finger kit kat 5.5 syns so total for today 15

Really could do with a weight loss buddy who I can share ideas and stay motivated with. anyone interested?

I'm hoping for 1-2 lbs a week as I usually find its more realistic for me. It really depends how much you have to lose. My colleague regularly loses 3-4lb a week and she eats the same as me near enough. ive started putting my food diary in the 'food diary' thread. That way I'm less likely to...

Hello all i have recommended slimming world but this time rund just can't get to groups but have the books from last October. Started last week and lost 3.8lbs this week. Really enjoying browsing the forum and getting ideas.

Ainsley harriott cous cous lemon variety and mushroom were 50p at the asda in Warrington on Friday.

Today's meals will be as follows: breakfast was: scrambled egg two asda reduced fat sausages (2 syns) mushrooms dry fried 4 slices of lean bacon Lunch will be half a packet of cous cous with plum tomatoes and a bit of chicken followed by honeydew melon. dinner will probably be cod with plum...

Hi Jodie You seem to be doing great. Well done!!! please share your food diaries as good ideas are always wanted.

I also have a HUGE appetite. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm sad, when I'm stressed, when I'm happy but very rarely when I'm hungry :sigh: that's the beauty of slimming world. I just now ensure that when I want to eat (even if I'm not hungry) I have free or super free foods and even better speed...

Have you got anyone you can do it with? I don't go to group but me and 3 colleagues do a lunch club so we take turns to do lunches. I've been less likely to be naughty

I did Sw 2 years ago lost 1st4lb and ended up putting it all back on eventually. I kept rejoining and losing a few pound then stopping. Well this is it now. I've rejoined we 3 friends / colleagues and we have a lunch club at work.

Ahh if you are doing red and green then yeh 2 hex are allowed

So day one (well since joining this forum). I started a week ago but thought his might help me keep track and not find excuses. breakfast: 3 slices of bacon fat removed 2 fried eggs done in fry light lunch: half a packet of ainsley harriott lemon cous cous 1/4 syn (I think) handful of grapes...

Also muller Greek yoghurts are half a syn yippee they are lush

Looks lovely and well done for starting. Just be careful with splitting your hex a as I believe you have done. I'm not sure it works that way so you can have half of the allowance of cheese then half the laughing cow unless you used laughing cow on your pasta?

I make mine as follows: 150g low fat cottage cheese 3 eggs batchelors savoury rrice any speed food cook rice as per packet when cooked pour into loaf tin and compress on to bottom evenly meanwhile whisk 3 eggs in a jug and mix in cottage cheese and veg raw. Pour the mixture on top of rice and...

Well here we go again!!!! I started slimming world 4 years ago after seeing some horrific holiday / wedding photos. I was the bridesmaid with the flabby arms in a sleeveless dress and the double chin pictured stuffing my face. I took action and started at 12stone 4lbs. That was July - by...
