Hey i started back with SW on Monday. Im doing it from home for the time being and am thrilled that since then i have already dropped 5lbs, im so happy to be out of the 11's. I have never gotten passed 10 stone, for some reason i always give up but this time i am determined to reach my target...

Hi all I'm hoping one of you lovelies can help me, I used to own the extra easy express book but gave it to an old neighbour who moved away and I have been searching everywhere for my favourite recipe. Can somebody please give me the carbonara recipe? It's the only carbonara recipe I like as...

Wow, this week has flown by! Today is weigh day, I haven't jumped on the scales yet, to be honest I have had such a terrible week I know it's going to be a gain or maintain. I have a goal to reach 10 stone by the end of June and because I have had a rubbish start it means I am going to have to...

Hi Sexyshell, yes speed foods are essential for snacking but if you are really hungry there is nothing wrong with adding some protein to help fill you up. Yes quark is a protein so feel free to eat it anytime you want just remember to eat some speed with it, I like dipping apples and carrot into...

Yay, I have been waiting for the June comp, really need help and motivation to shift this flab!# I should point out I have a target to get to 10st by the end of June, so pounds to lose at the moment is quite high, but I will update my target for this comp when I have my last weigh in for...

Good morning, I'm really trying to be up beat this morning, I know my diet hasn't been great this week so far (really need to eat more speed) but I thought I may have already lost half a pound by now, I have lost sweet F.A which is a teeny tiny bit annoying. I'm working again today but only 4...

Thank you for that, they sound lovely, I definitely am going to give them a try :) Congratulations on your weight loss so far, do you enjoy and find food optimising easy most days? I tend to go through phases, I enjoy it for a few weeks then find myself hating having to syn the things I love...

Hi all, can someone confirm for me if 2 slices of w/m bread (400g loaf) used as one of my hexB's is allowed on EESP? Or have I blown it already?

Weighed myself this morning, I'm 1.5lbs heavier than I thought, last time I weighed this I was pregnant eek!! :d'oh: Anyway onwards and upwards! I'm trying to be really positive and not moody about everything, although I nearly lost my rag when my DD was being so slow when walking to...

I've decided to do eesp for this week just to kick-start my weightloss, it looks a lot like the red plan I used to do which worked really well for me. Not looking forward to standing on the scales tomorrow but oh well, at least i'm doing something about it! xXx

So after umming and ahhhing about coming back to Slimming World I have decided to do from home for the time being. I am classed as overweight on the bmi scale but I have a really large waist and it scares the hell out of me because my life could change for the worse at anytime. I have got out...

So what do you all think to the new plan? I really enjoy having my extra hex's which would mean I would have to follow the EEsp but that plan is very "anti Carbs" and I really like pasta rice and potatoes plus products like quorn don't appear to be allowed because it isn't "pure" food.

From what my consultant said, I'm sure ee red and green are staying But there is going to be a new plan which you can use for 2 weeks at a time to super speed your weightloss but it isn't as restricted as the success express. Apparantly it got trialled and the results are good!! :) Sent from my...

Hey everyone, how is your weekend going? Still on plan? xx

Definitely pay for your first session to get the books, who knows you might want to carry on going! If you have been a bit of a yo yo dieter go for the extra easy plan, it is less restricted so you will more likely stick to it and enjoy it, also you can limit your carbs to what you think is...

5.5lbs is a great loss, you should be very proud of yourself! Do you eat lots of bread, pasta, potatoes or rice on a daily bases? I find that weeks when I eat bread (and pasta) daily I have either a small loss of 0.5lb or I maintain. I follow the original (red) plan which limits those heavy...

Sorry I'm a bit late with this, Tuesday I lost 1lb.

So I have had another bad start to this week, but today I have finally got myself back on plan (Yay!!).

A big well done to those who have had fantastic losses this week! Those of you (like me) who have struggled this week, we know why the scales didn't say what we wanted them to say, lets agree to put our crappy feelings aside and make a promise to stay on plan this week because next week we WILL...

I have maintained this week :break_diet:.........gutted.

I have maintained this week. It could have so easily been a gain so I am relieved but yet I am really upset and disappointed with myself, and to top it off I have spent the last few hours eating cake, chocolate and crisps and drinking lager :break_diet:

I've maintained this week :cry:

Oh dear, it looks like most of us have been naughty this week, never mind, lets all get back on plan and aim for great losses next week!

I don't think there are any vouchers about at the moment, but the Christmas countdown deal starts this week. You buy a 12 week countdown which is priced at 10 weeks (you get 2 weeks free) plus you are given a copy of the SW Christmas recipe book for free!! :)

I'm a bad girl, I binged on my sons birthday last Wednesday, I then start success express first thing Thursday morning and made it until Friday night. This weekend has been pants, I made it through most of Saturday, then I hit the crisps, cake and chocolate in the evening, I had a LARGE big mac...

Hi Zippy, the only advice I can give you is to remind that success express shouldn't be used all the time, why not try the red or green day plan for a week and keep success express for when you have had a really naughty week? I do the red plan but after my sons birthday (Wed) and the mother of...

Well done with the fab losses everyone! xXx

I only reduce syns when Im desperate, this week I will be having no more than 4 syns a day and that's IF I choose have any at all, I have had a huge gain so this is how I go about getting rid of it. Once I have lost those pounds I gained I will have my syns back up to around 10-15. xXx

Thank you for the support all, I'm on plan now and i'm hoping to make it to the end of the day. Still feeling cr*p but mostly disappointed with myself. I'm still in the "diet" zone and I know I need to stop thinking this is a diet. Im off to be pro-active and plan tonight's SW friendly meal...

So I was hoping my gain was going to be no more than 5lbs, boy was I wrong. 7lbs I have gained which means I am heavier now than when I started SW :( Now the real battle begins, do I get my act together or give up? Seriously is there any point in continuing, I have zero motivation right now.

If I were in your shoes I would go out and buy some decent scales, I wouldn't be able to weigh myself in the evening after a days worth of food in my tummy and getting up at the crack of dawn is mad. If you do decide to buy some scales avoid cheap ones (like argos value range) they are always...

I went back to group today, my consultant and many others were really happy to see me!! :party0011: I feel a bit stupid now as I have spent most the week worrying about what sort of 'welcome' I would get. Feeling really confident and motivated (that's very rare for me!!) :party0048: xXx

Going back to group this morning (been off plan for months) so I wont be reporting a loss, but I will be glad to get back on the scales to sort myself out once and for all!! xXx

Jacket with tuna mayo and salad :D xXx

All bran with ss milk, portion of grapes and cup of tea! :D xXx

Hi all, I am starting back at group again tomorrow, I have already lost a few pounds this week at home. How are you all feeling about weighing in tomorrow? I am trying to decide if I should start a new membership tomorrow for £10 or pay £15 to keep all my history, what would you lot do? xXx

Ooops forgot to ask, where did you get the 1/2 syn garlic sausage from? I love anything that has garlic in :D xXx

Hi, I have spent the past half hour or so reading through your diary and I must say, I feel so inspired. You have had a lot of sh*t to put up with and yet here you doing sooo well!! You should be so proud of yourself :girlpower:. I'm looking forward to reading more entries from you , hope you...

Hi & welcome to minimins! Personally I struggle without going to group, I need somebody in the flesh to kick my butt when i'm having a tough week, if I didn't need that I would be perfectly happy doing it from home through minimins! Minimins has everything you need, there are weigh-in groups...

Welcome to minimins, don't forget to fill in your stats, it will help keep you motivated!! :) xXx

I make syn free lemon curd :)

Hi all, I stopped doing SW a few months ago and have gained 10lbs, so I am back for good. Going back to group next week hopefully I will be a little less than what I weigh right now!!

I need to lose the 10lbs I have gained back, would like to make it 11lbs then I will be in the next stones bracket!! xXx

Well 20 calories is about 1 syn, so 1/8th of a pack contains 219cals which is about 11 syns!! Hope that helps :)

Lemon curd!! Ooooooo I also love Tesco Value (frozen) smoked salmon fillets (sooooo yummy!!)

Welcome & good luck with your weigh-in!!

Thank you everybody for your replies! Yesterday being my first day back on plan went ok, until the evening!! I may have consumed almost 2 days worth of syns in chocolate, the good news about that is I feel quite sick this morning and I NEVER feel sick from too much chocolate. I have decided...

That's fab!! Thank you for finding out for me :) xXx

Can somebody please tell me the syn value please? It lists corn oil in the ingredients so I am not quite sure if it's free or not, many thanks in advance!! Iceland Chicken Breast Fillets Chicken Breast Fillet (85%), Water (13%), Corn Oil, Salt, Acidity Regulators: Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium...

What are you planning on using your syns for? I am going to put together a syn box of naughty treats for tonight, the evenings are when my chocolate cravings kick in!

So far so good, but I am a bit late having lunch going to whip something up in 10 mins, how is today going for you?

:wave_cry: I left SW 3 months ago or so, since then I have tried every diet out there and guess what, they don't work! So I have come crawling back to SW (here on minimins) as it is the only plan that works. I want to go back to group but I am a little nervous as I never told the consultant I...

Oh my god, I love tiramisu, im very guilty of eating family sized trays all to myself, 8 syns for this entire recipe means I will be making this!!! So excited!!

Can somebody tell me if coconut oil is allowed in phase 1? I am off to waterstones tomorrow to pick up my book but don't know if I could do this diet if coconut oil isn't allowed :( Can anybody help?

I rejoined SW on new years eve and have really enjoyed going to group etc, my consultant is brilliant but I am struggling so much at the moment. I stick to plan and lose weight one week, then I gain it all back the next, I don't want to yoyo and feel like I am wasting £4.95 every week. It's...

Thank you coughdrop, that sounds amazing, just copying all that onto my mob so I don't forget! Realy really can't wait for Friday now :D

I had burger in a bowl last night, I know the recipe is on here somewhere but I never try new recipes and last night I made my family burgers and fries so decided to give in to my craving and try this recipe out. It was so good, the sauce was thick like a dip but I had to use greek style yoghurt...

Try and plan all your meals and snacks, have speed and super speed foods as much as possible, reduce salt and increase water :D

I have found that weeks when I eat tonnes of speed and super speed foods my weight loss is greater, this works for me :D

I jumped on my scales this morning and they put me at 9.13 YAY!!!! I am so excited :D I have decided that I will continue on this thread until I get weighed at group on Tuesday, hope nobody minds but my consultants scales are the boss of me :D

It varies, some carry on doing food diaries others don't. You need to do what works for you, I personally complete a food diary every 3 weeks just to keep an eye on what I am doing and if I am making any mistakes. Your consultant should check your diary whenever you want him/her to, hth :D...

I'm not a target member yet, but I think it would be good if you take half an hour each week to sit down and read through all the SW books and check the latest hexs online etc, as well as attending group it should help you stay on track :)

That is fine, don't panic. If you're not hungry then don't eat unless you've been working out which you did so yes you have done fine. Enjoy your journey.

I had a gain last week as I went off plan for 2 weeks but weighed in today with an 8lb loss :D I am bang on 10st, hoping to join the 9's club next week, fingers crossed!!

My advice is to plan all meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) Have snacks ready in fridge and your bag on stand by, research all your fave meals on here to find SW friendly alternatives, make sure you consume all your healthy extras and fill your plate with lots of super free, If you like things...

I normally treat myself but today after having quite a big loss I will be staying on plan no treats. Will be having a fakeaway from the new book tomorrow night but that will be syn free :D

Hahaha my chips are ugly as well lol. Picked up my book not sure which one is my favourite, will have to make them all, oh dear what a shame ;)

Well after last weeks gain I am delighted to have an 8lb loss this week, woohoo!!!

Good luck today all :D

I'm glad you like it, I am picking my copy up this morning. Think tonight will be fakeaway night :)

Oops don't forget to drink lots of water!! It really does work :D

Plan all your meals and have plenty of healthy snacks in the fridge on stand-by. You said you're reaching for comfort food, there are plenty of SW comfort recipes, also if you are into body magic just get up and do something now, even if you don't feel like doing anything you will soon get into...

I have had a really bad week and now I need to drop some lbs fast for Tuesday, ARGH!! I really want to weigh in at 9.13 this week but not sure if I am gonna make it. Lots of water, salad and lean meat for me, fingers crossed!!

1 1/2 lbs off. Yay!!! :D

Getting weighed at 9:30. So nervous, hope I have lost something :D Good luck all!!!!

I don't know of a low syn choc chip cake but I found this other recipe, For a chocolaty dessert that’s ready in under 2 minutes, tip an Options hot chocolate into a mug, crack in one egg and add 4 tsp sweetener. Mix it all together and heat in the microwave on full power for 1½ minutes. With...

I lost 1lb yesterday, putting me at 10.4, I will feel very relieved when I get into the 9's. My predictor chart on SW life online is now saying I should start losing 2.5lbs a week, that will put me at 9.5 the week of my wedding anniversary (17/04). I really really REALLY want to be that weight...

1lb loss, yay! Very happy with that, I have spent the week pulling my hair out writing an essay and have only been eating crisps and penguin biscuits. Back on plan today, want at least 2lb off next week. :D

Good luck today everybody!! I have had a stressful week and have not been 100% SW. Hopefully I won't have damaged my weight loss too much.

Hey all, hope you're all ok, sorry I haven't been on here much lately, I have been busy writing an essay for the past several days, thank god that is over. I am still on the shred :D Will update in more detail later on, gotta get my kids ready for school and I have group this morning, I am...

I'm having a rest day today, so I will just be doing some yoga. Hope you all have a great day :D

All workouts completed, yay :D

Welcome Llamasoks :D I have heard level 2 is easier than level 1 but level 3 is meant to be quite intense. I managed to squeeze in my workout earlier, yay! The only problem I am having is my calf muscles cramp badly during the cardio :(

Hey all, haven't had time to exercise yet. Not sure when im going to fit it in today but I will find the time. Hope your both having a great day :D

1lb off for me :) Very happy with that, I gained my 1/2 stone reward. Yay!!

What a fast week! I am nervous, I stupidly nibbled on some of my husbands Chinese ( 1 chicken ball & sauce, 2 bean sprouts, 2 prawn toast and a few chips followed by a jam tart which my daughter made). Hopefully haven't caused too much damage, if I get 1/2lb off I get my half stone reward, yay!!

Lol, I wish! I got a bit hyper before I started, no idea why as I don't drink coffee etc.

Day 3 done, found it easier than yesterday and also completed it after my other workout. Yay :D

Bubble don't be disappointed, a loss is a loss and better than a gain :) You should be proud of yourself :) House is now empty which means it's workout time :D

Finding it very cold today, want to curl up with a hot water bottle and go to sleep, NOT BEFORE I WORK OUT THOUGH :D Just waiting until after lunch when my husband and my youngest go out. I get weighed tomorrow so today I will have to eat lots of salad and fruit. I can't bring myself to eating...

Hahaha, I slept through my alarm this morning, so I have to do it this afternoon when my husband goes to the gym and my youngest goes to pre school. I think the 3rd day is always the hardest, you either do it or you don't, hopefully I am going to do it although I am tempted to just drink coffee...

Well done all!! I did find todays session quite hard, before doing the shred today I did my other challenge workout which I find harder to do, I was shattered by the time I finished that but forced my way through the shred. Feeling sore again but my muscles are healing quite nicely. Role on day...

How are things going Emma?

Both day 2 challenges are completed. I am drenched and shaking from head to toe. God it feels good! Want a bath but think I may fall asleep, will play it safe and have a shower. If your reading this take a few mins and do some crunches, doesn't matter what your wearing just get on the floor and...

Day 2 completed :) Hope you have a better workout today Emma, take it easy and listen to your body.

I completed day 1 of catching fire earlier, it was TOUGH. I was burning everywhere, feeling much better now that I have had a hot shower. Pork and steamed vegies for dinner :) Going to take my measurements tomorrow morning, I dread to see how big my waist really is.

All hex A's and B's are listed on the SW site. The site works fine so you should have no problem with it all, also the calculator works on the site too, the calc on the app in my experience plays up quite a bit. :)

So I completed day 1 of the 30 day shred this morning, I performed the advance exercises and found it all quite easy, will stick to this level for a few more days then move onto level 2 :) Need to do my other challenge in a bit, this is the one that will really burn me. Is it wrong that I am...

Of course you can Bubble :)

Take it easy! Did you eat anything before your workout? Perhaps a banana or something with natural sugar in, it might help with the dizzy spells. The rule is that your meant to do each level for 10 days, so 9 more days of level 1 unless you find it too easy you can move up to level 2 sooner.

Day 1 complete. I was doing the advance moves and found most of it quite easy, think I will move onto level 2 on Monday. Good luck with your workout today Emma :)

Had a late night workout last night, I'm part of a fitness group and we do challenges, I had to do : Time Challenge Completed in 05:49 100 Jumping Jacks 40Air squats 30Sit ups 20 Hand release press ups 10 each leg reverse lunges 10 min rep count - I did 188 reps completed in total. 20...

Don't feel guilty, we all do it then we all go straight back on plan. This is one of the many reasons I love slimming world! :D Hope your hangover clears up soon :)

Yes, tomorrow is fine :D What sort of results are you hoping to get from the shred? I'm hoping my waist line will shrink at least 3 inches. Are you going to be sticking to the level 1 for 10 days, then level 2 for 10 days etc etc? I have seen/read about other people skipping levels but I plan on...

My target weight is 8.7st, I hope to reach this goal within the next 2 1/2 months. After reaching my target will my journey to the extreme really kick in. No I am not talking about starving myself, I plan to reduce my body fat to around 15%. I'm not planning on going to extreme body building...

Hi Emma, I have had the 30 day shred dvd for a few months now, but haven't found the motivation to start it. I would happily do it with you :D

When I weighed in last week, I lost 5lbs. I am really pleased with that but I have been having the odd little binge this week. I wanted to lose 3lbs this week, and now I am worried I wont hit that target. Any advice to super speed the lbs off?

Go crazy with super free foods. Eat lots of fruit and veg, make salads and stir frys and include small portions of lean protein. Also if you can perhaps have around 5 syns or less, plenty of water and go walking :D

You have all done so well, well done!!!!

5 1/2 lbs gone, YAY!!!! I was so worried about the slice of cake I had last night, panic over :D Well done all who have lost so far, Tuesday is looking to be a great day for us all :D CLR I had a week a while back where I ate rubbish and still lost so I'm pretty sure the scales are fine. Try...

Oh my god I am so nervous about tomorrow. I have been quite strict this week but this evening I had a small slice of my daughter and husbands b'day cake, will I gain 1 or even 1/2 a pound from eating a small slice of cake??? I really think I have messed everything up now :( I really want a 3lb...

Do you go to a slimming world group? It might be worth buying the low syn snack book and free food book so you can find suitable alternatives that hit the spot. When I want choc I either eat a few freddos or have a hot choc. The hot choc normally fills me up and stops my craving. Oh werthers...

I get weighed tomorrow morning, I'm so nervous. I put on 5lbs last week because I didn't go to group for a few weeks and went completely off plan. I have worked really hard all week and i'm hoping for a loss of 3lbs. Keep your fingers crossed for me :(

I have excess skin from 2 very large babies, I know the skin will get worse as I drop the 2 stone I want rid of but my husband has agreed to pay for surgery for me. Perhaps you should consider this option too, I have tried creams etc, they don't work :(

Douwe Egberts vanilla and hazelnut coffee is amazing. I cannot live without them :D

Good luck today everybody!! :)

Don't forget that whilst working out your muscles will be getting stronger, muscles weighs more than fat. If the scales aren't moving I'm pretty sure your measurements will be changing :) Don't be disheartened, be happy!!! :D

3lbs is really good!! I have found that the weeks I eat pasta and potatoes almost daily gives me a small loss but if I limit my pasta and spud intake I lose more. Hope that helps :)

Well done!!

Good luck!!
