Late reply but Im vegan. I am on fb vegan slimming world too. Faye

Hi No problem I know if u follow slimming world properly you will lose weight I was inspired by Dr Greger and other vegan guru s to cut down on oil. I sometimes use a bit and add water or just water or stock if making an onion based sauce. I think dr greger and slimming world can be merged. I am...

Good luck. I too have curly hair and after a long search have found a hairdresser who knows what to do with it. Being an ex hairdresser i was doing curl by curl cuts myself but the back was so hard I am also back at sw and after 4 weekd only 2lbs off. I have now got into the swing and will be...

I really hope it works for you. X

I ve just gone back to slimming world. It s never actually worked but I think that says more about me than the plan. I am now 4 year vegan and determined to make it work.

I am going to go back to slimming wirld. Once you understand the plan it is easy. You just have to stick to it but it isn t ultra strict. Good luck Faye

Happy New Year to everyone I am about re start a vegan almost plant based sw journey from home . I found slimming survival, it gives syn values and lots more info for sw vegan/veggie slimmers. I thought this may be helpful. I will be using a 2016 sw set of books so any major changes would be...

Hi I hope it worked for you. I got as far as being called sweet heart for the 3rd time and vowed never again Again I was begged to stay. Wish you could just pay for the app for the syns as i am vegan some products are impossible to calculate. Faye

Hi I hope sw worked for you. I have the books but not keen on the classes.I am sure it uf great for many ppl and keeps you accountable Let me know Faye x

Will defo be joining online. I did sw for year and lost weight but only when i started jogging and changed to mainly plant free foids. I think not counting pasta and rice is a bit silly. Thank you for all your help Faye xx

Thank you that makes good sense. So did you see the sp value on a food list then. If so i do really need to join online. Faye xx

How does that work if you are getting facts from a foid label. Is the ww calculator better than the free ones? Faye xx

Great thank you ...I will x

I usrd a downloaded calculator. Was nt sure re the part about a couple of numbers i put in. On hol soon but am thinking of joining when i get back. Thanks again Faye x

How on earth did i get it to 12? That was the full tin. Thank you so much

OMG. Just checked on calculator and get it to 12. Will give that a miss

After years on sw i have decided to try ww pro points. Calcu!ator downloaded Free food list downloaded Lovely post by picklednut about pasta, rice and potato stored for future reference 23 points per day and 35 if needed per week. I think being able to eat a lot of pasta rice and potato on sw...

Hi. I am very new to this. It is a lot easier to follow than sw. I have decided to have vegan tagine for dinner. I guess most of the veg is free. Tomatoes will have details on the tin so, easy enough to calculate. How do i get points for the potato and herbs. Sorry if this is a daft question...

Yes. I had a last try at a new group. The minute she called me sweet heart did it for me. Ensued by a twenty min chat on the cottage pie recipe. better spend the time exercising. i ve looked at ww but think I will just do sw from home. i wish there was a free syn calculator or you could buy...

Yes I understand. My friend is the same. I am a bit fed up of sw and thought of either ww s or just counting cals. you must keep on though as you have done so well. faye x

Hi. I am Faye. I wondered if you can do ww without joining a group. I have read up on it and it does look possible. I would consider online but being me would prefer to go it alone as i am not gd at group thing like that. Many thanks Faye

Well the only one who can help me of course is myself. I have been going off the rail both with slimming world and trying to be vegan in fact I have been calling myself vegan/vegitarian. I think I need to go to a class but absolutely is not my scene. So maybe do it online. Would that make you...

150g is 201 cals so 10 syns sounds about right:p

Thank you Have thrown packaging away x

Thank you. Aldi. 150g. 168 cals. Specially selected thick and creamy passion fruit and mango.x

I had this little pot of yummyness last night. I can t find it s syn value anywhere. Any help would be really appreciated. Otherwise I will do the 1 syn per 20 cals Faye 😕

Similar. Cod new potatoes and peas. 0 % fat greek yoghurt with strawberries.

It is a bit late but thank you

I just can t be doing with those meetings. I find on here is better for me. I tend to eat stuff i ve cooked 90% of the time so it is easy to syn. I think i have about ten a day but its good to keep an eye on it. Weekly makes sense and allows you to go mad occassionallh

Thabk you. Amazing weight loss. Well done

A late thankyou. I will look into that

Sounds like a gd idea. May try it

I just wondered if anyone knows the syns in Aldi stuffed mushrooms. The big ones with cream cheese garlic and cheesy breadcrumbs. Thank you in advance for any replys

Sorry not been here for a while. Well done. I v lost a stone since beginning of January. Lets keep at it....we can do it!

Hi P B You are doing well. We are having mushroom risotto tonight. Very low syn. I have lost a few more pounds which is good as I have had a virus and not been running. I have cancelled gym and am going to get some pilates dvd s to do too. You are right. If we all did our bit it would make a...

Lucky you. You will have to give ne tips. Yes let s weigh in on the same day. My oh is nt vegan but does join me a few times a week. Also i sometimes have fish. Oh dear I am not a good vegan. I never have meat and loath dairy farming but have been told goats and sheep cheese is nt as cruel...

Hi. I started a veggie but then a year ago i decided on vegan. However there are occassions when i have veggie. Usually when out for a meal I am sick of seeing myself in photos not looking as good as i could so I am determined to lose the excess. Couple of stone. I put my food for the day into...

Actually having the slimwell biryani tonight.

Briam and crusty bread. May have cous cous ...depends how hungry we are

I like quorn nuggets. Will try then all but i only have bought stuff once a week. Thank you

It is ok thank you i have found out half the whole pizza is 25.5 syns so it will not be something i will have above twice a year. Thank you for your help. I will probably start making my own low syn ones. X

Gosh that wikl be an occassional treat. Thank you x

I have been doinh ok. I would like toknow syns in aldi thin crispy pizza base...capriano verdi or the whole pizza. Thank you for your help

Love to add nutritional yeast. Like tofu scramble

Hubby having the body coach homemade mama s beef lasagne. With salad and chips. I am not eally that hungry as been ill so maybe some soup. Sw spicy carrot and lentil but i put red onion garlic and potato in it. Spiced up with red thsi curry paste

I know it will be a lot of syns as there are 940calories in the whole pizza. I just wondered if you could use the goats cheese as a hex a. The rest is veg. So just syn the dough which is thin. It is clutching at straws but I thought that might be less syns. I m not a lover of pizza but this one...

Most ppl like them. Someone liked the chicken saag. I liked butternut squash curry but with 3 red peppers on the box was hot. Going to see if half with my homemade mushroom rice is enough. My big appetite is diminishing. FAYE

Aldi veg biryani with homemade rice. Maybe mushroom. Depends on what is in the curry. Followed by yoghurt and honey(not so vegan), although Greek is n t as bad. Not cheap honey so better for the bees welfare.

Going to try the vegetable biryani tonight

There are times being vegan/veggie is a pain:peep:!!!!!!

My sons partner is making my dinner tonight. She does lovely stuffed peppers😀

Slimming world vegetable and red lentil soup. Made it chunky and will add a bit of cauliflower. Smells divine and so easy to make.

Hope you enjoy the eating plan. It is the best one I be ever done

Milk. Cheese. Wholemeal bread

I am doing a roast beef dinner tonight for my husband so I think I will have biam. If anyone has been to Greece they are bound to have had it. It is an oven cooked dish. YoI make it with veg e.g. potatoes, aubergibes, courgette, red obion, garlic and tomatoes. You can serve with feta and crusty...

Sound very nice.

Hi Chubbyunicorn are you still doing as and weighing in on a Friday. I am Friday too but started ten months later. Have done before but not into group meetings. Online does my seem to be as he as minimins. :whistle::pillowfight:

Wowee!!!!!!!!! Where are you at now Catherine. :pillowfight:

Hi Nanny Doreen It was going so well until I got back on the jogging. I am facing ppl saying wow you have lost a lot of weight when I know I have stayed the same. Will keep at it as I know it will come off eventually. Hope all is well with you. Faye x

I found a butternut squash and chickpea tagine recipe. We are having cous cous and pitta with it. I know this sounds mad but I didn't have any kale so I added chopped Chinese lettuce leaves. I saw Jamie Oliver make a kind of stew with lettuce. I must say it is nice with fish. Anyway it has...

Could nt agree more. I did nt like the group meetings but i appreciate that a lot if people find they help. Ģreat eating plan and minimins is invaluable. Thanks for the reply.

just a bit of extra advice. The heat in Aldi slimwell is indicated on the box using a red chilli pepper system. 3 being the hottest

That's great green eyed monster. I was about to do same. Thank you. I headlining for that. This cheers. I was looking for this.

It is great. You are doing well. It takes some people years to understand it. The ppl who did red and green days find it hard to get their head round. Being 99%vegan it suits me. At the moment I am losing slowly as doing more exercise. Faye

There's a posts somewhere. They vary from free to 9. Will check for you

Asda do similar I think but no idea on price or taste. Too far for me only 3 miles to Aldi.

Hi there losing 2019 Totally agree. Would rather send the most on other things. It is a good eating plan. Have you done it before? I originally got the pack and one free group. The only benefit of the group was being weighed. But, the sitting for ages talking about new recipes etc. We can do...

Talking to other slimming worlders the general opinion is that they are nicer than the iceland sw ones. Plus a £ cheaper. Hope you feel better soon.

This is a great post and good for reference as it takes but to get it to stick in my mind. Well done on your journey so far...you are doing so well Faye

I am not really sure how to do it tbh

I can t seem to get the weight loss from the ticker factory ticker to my minimums one Please help Many thanks Faye

I can get it on ticker factory but have got no idea how to get from there to my minimimns ticker. Any help will be much appreciated Faye

I am doing a steps weekend warrior challenge with a friend on fitbit if anyone wants to join in or just post your step here. Ends midnight tomorrow. It's not about winning but motivstion. Faye😠 xx

Hi there. There is a post somewhere that says 1 syn per teaspoon. Hope this helps. I ve noticed there is nt as much activity here as there used to be. People don t reply as much to questions. Is there another site they are using? X

I know you can divide calls by 20. I just read another way that usually works is to add fat and carbs and divide by 5. Thoughts on this please folks!!

Are all beans no longer P or just certain ones low I am vegan so this is quite a big deal

Good luck. If you be done it before you a already know it works. Faye

I made spicy sweet potato soup yesterday. Instead of coconut milk I used soy plant milk from hexa. It worked really well. I want to have it with naan bread but have no idea on the syn values of naan. I am rather dreading the answers as I am sure it will high. If anyone has a recipe they like I...

Anyone know the syn value. I think it's about 35 for a 450 gram pot. Thank you in advance for any replies Faye

Let me know if you buy anything interesting that is low or free syn pls

Sounds to me as if you don't need to go to the group. I would spend the money on some yummy sw low syn recipes and use minimums as you support group. Faye😉

As I have said I am being really good this time round. So...after reading the syns in coconut milk I thought it was curtains for my red Thai curry and sweet potato and coconut milk soup. Then I read this top which apparently was approved by a Thai as member. just use soy milk unsweetened...

Hopefully have sorted the ticker. 😀

Are nt they free on ee?

I apologise in advance of there are 2 3or even 4 tickers. God alone knows how I be managed that. I just wondered if there are sun values for vegan vanilla style I've cream and Tesco free from cheddar style cheese. The cheese is awful but ok for sprinkling on. I am thinking there will be no...

and back to two. Ahhhhh

I be only just seen this so 3 weeks of Jan left. Will say 4lbs. Friday weigh in

Thank you. I don t want to put on ppl any more than I have to so I am studying syns. Shame you can't just but a calculator lol x

I think it is sorted but I'm not sure. Sorry if I have wasted anyone's time

I am being really good this time round and even keeping a diary. I ve got the books and seem to be able to find sun values. I am not into the group meetings. So is there much benefit of being an online member Faye as

It took forever to get my ticket set up. New tablet did nt help. I guess I've duplicated. So ended up with two tickers. ed Please help some one. I don t want to l is a then both

I am glad you said this you put it across well. Muscle lb for lb uses less space. Apparently it burns more calories. If this is not correct i apilogise.. Faye C

This happens to me all the time. Ppl say how much weight I've lost and I know I've gained due to exercise. JoeWickes says throw away your scales. But if you carry on regardless the weight comes down.....EVENTUALY

Hi Green Eyed Monster Thank you for your recommendations. I ve tried to find syn vals but apparently sw wont reveal them as they are sueing aldi. Are the icekand ones free?

Anyone having these. I know we can t get syn values but if the as ones at Iceland are syn free with less calories can we assume these new Aldi are free. I not have access to the calculator so can t work it out. No Iceland where I love so can t compare. Love to hear from anyone else who has...

Hi guys. I thought I would say hello as a fellow vegan of 11months. I be done as before but not as a vegan. :rolleyes:

Hi there. I ve got some values in my directory. Otherwise I've been dividing the calorie content by 20 However any other syn values would be so useful be it everyday food or ready meals/meals out. I just got used to SW then I go and 're start as a a vegan.y GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT:mad:

I have not been here for a while as I have transitioned to being vegan for ethical and health benefits.. I have done Sw before but not as a vegan. Any tips would be really appreciated. Also to get to know a few ppl and their stories. I just want to be healthy and lose some weight. I have...

How did you get on. I am nearly 4 weeks meat free. Making veggie meals i love but have now decided to start sw again?:eek:

Well done to all of you. I decided to become veggie or at least pescatarian about 28 th December. I am finding it easier than i thought. OH is nt vegetarian. So today I decided to do sw at home. Tried classes and the one I went to was so not for me. No Bubbles there are nt any Oreos in this...

Hi all...I ve not been on for a while. I have been thinking of giving up meat but as my oh loves his meat I had done nothing about it. My daughter said she was going to start buying cruelty free products so we started to research this. While doing si I read a quote from Paul McCartney which set...

I met a girl in Sainsbury s cafe queue and we got chatting. She is a fitbit fan and told me how she had done c25k. She is only around my area in the week. I did my research and decided to give it a go. I have never been able to run but have now in eight weeks done the 5k and last Thursday went...

Hi everyone. I have popped over from slimming world. My plan is to get my apptite down and my weight down. I use mfp to counter check calories. With a christening in six weeks I would like to lose around a stone and a half. SW has never worked for me but I do love some of their recipes so will...

As a slimming world consultant?

Hi ..are you new to slimming world?

Fantastic:0clapper: You must be over the moon. Unlike me who has only managed 8lbs in six months but at least its going on the right direction:thankyouthankyou:

I have one coffee when i get up then have about 4-5 pints of no sugar squah throughout the day but i make it quite weak.

I am so plsed. I lost the 6 lbs i gained but now have lost another 2 lbs. I went out saturday f a meal (moroccan beef and spicy cous cous), and went t a carvery last evening. Just had meat gravy lots of veg and half a potato. Walk in total nine miles yestetday. So thsts the key for me. Also i...

Lucky not to have gained during the three days i didnt walk. Back at it now and hoping to manage a loss on monday. Have got a meal out but I am going to be sensible as I have also got afternoon tea next week but will have it as lunch and dinner so s not to up calorie intake too much

Well done. I managed 2 lbs as well despite not walking as much due to the heat. Good luck nxt wk Faye X

Actually losing again ...the exercise is ginally paying off.

Hi. I do it from home. I plan ahead and feel this is key to success. I put my days food into my fitness pal along with my exercise..daily. it works out what you would weigh in five wks if u ate that way every day. It breaks down how much of each food group you are having etc. I then put the...

Lets do it. Ive got a short break a christening and then Christmas. Theres no excuse. Like you said initially and it echoed something i think all the time. I would just love to go in a shop and try something on and think wow i look great instead of i dont look too fat in this. Lets hold that...

Its always good to have an event coming up as you yend not to cheat. Ive embarked on a huge walking orogramme and seem to have been stuck at the same weight. Halleluja...i ve started to lose and am now where i was before Xmas. Would love to lose 2.5 stone before the end of the year. Let:mm3kg:s...

Good luck. You sound as if you will get there. Slimming world has a lot of vegan tecipes. I use them sometimes if ive had a lot of meat. If you type what recipe you want into your phone or computer with the prefix slimming world it should pop up. Let me know how you get on.

More like an inspiration. I am thinking of having dry october in June....no I am going to. Also stepping up the exercise. Did 9.6 miles in steps yesterday and booked on spin cycling tmoz. Its such an inspiration when you start to look nicer in your clothes:wee:

Very well done...no expense spared with the skips:D xx

I am with you as we go just for a family weekend aoon. Shopping tomorrow for shoes but will be eyeing up the clothes. Hopefully a size down 2:banana_dancer:

I keep being told how much ive lost but its only seven lbs over as many months. I think its because of all the walk;)ng my calves are like rock. My clothes are looser so i an just gonna carry on hope eventually the lbs drop off. It s strange how we go up and down but stick at it and you will get...

Doing that much exercise you will need the fuel to keep going. I pop food and exercise onto mfp . It tells you if your not eating enough. I am still struggling to decide if I want to cancel my gym membership. I don t want to but then i never go. I am feeling its nicer to do outdoors things I...

PS i do mfp every day to check cals then put total in fitbit. Faye

Blomey!!!!!! I am shattered just reading your diary. I love the realistic way you have your syns and the volime of exercise. I am walking around six miles a day but not spinning. May book on early tomorrow. Day off so could walk the dog then cycle to my daughter s and do a small walk then cycle...

I think the drink messes your metabolism up. Am trying so give up for a few wks but ppl come to stay and bring me wine so will probably put a two glass limit on it. It will be interesting to see if i lose more than usual.

Been so lazy today. Hubby gardening so may just fo a good walk...dont fwel like it. I usually do 12-13 k a day. Hope u get the work x

I thought at first it was beat the most steps you have ever done. As i did 35000 once it seemed impossible I think i may yu my daily goal to 1200. That would keep me at it. I am thinking of early norning swimming a few times a week. Am sick of classes but if i could spin early on free days...

Well done. You are doing great. Ive not weighed as if i lose i tend to go off the rails but getting some good comments

Well done les...you were the winner. I was second. Lets keep at it

Sounds good les. I am just off. Hoping all this walking will help get a piund or two off. X

Thats fine. Am going to salk before 9. Then get my weekly meals made then go again. Hopefully its good day for us :stickdance:

Have looked and can t add u u but will hsve to go head to head on step count. Sorry. Could u add me. [email protected]

My daily goal is 10 k but i once did 35k which i want to get close to tomorrow. Ive said it now so will have to try to do it why not join me? Faye :cool:

Well done. I am not using my gym membership much just walking and doing dvd s at home. Need to either go or cancel. Keep it up:character00116:

Really good. I am hoping all the hard work will pay off next week

How lovely for you both. Mine is with local family but I am hoping to surprise my son in laws family whom I dont see as often. I am a bit fed up as i am walking briskly for 7 miles approx every day but i lose one day then gain the next. I am hoping it is warer and muscle as they say. I dream...

Thank you. My calves have got bigger so am assuming more muscle and water which i hope will go soon. We have got a family get togetger in September so I hope to be at least two stone lighter by then Hope your numbers are going in the right direction Faye x

Lovely surprise on Saturday. Lost 2 lbs. All the walking has helped. 8lbs off now but still a lot to go.

Sound idyllic. I did over 30 k Monday but was so tired yesterday I cleabed rhe whole house instead. Working all day today but hopefully start at 11 thursday so could get 5/6 niles in early morning. I hope to play tennis at the weekend. Thats something else i enjoy. Never win if I play my oh...

Yay ive lost 4lbs. All that walking prob 70 miles in a wk has paid off

No worries. 10k is good ....you will have to tell me how to pm. I used to do it but can t seem to get the hang of it. X

3:bestwishes::0clapper: WONDERFUL. WELL DONE X

Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After walking quickly for about 45 miles last week i have put a pound on. However I am not letting it put me off as i am sure my legs have shed some fat and gained muscle and as muscle takes up less space i can understand it. Hopefully better news next week:banghead:

Mcat or anyone else want to do a work week hustle challenge lwt me know. I am not sure how to pm. Last five days have done double the steps i normally do in a wk.

This challenge makes you walk more. Ended uo with 35 k steps yesterday. I know its a challenge but everyone wins. I am thinking of giving up in the gym as i never go and getting a load of exercise dvds. Maybe from a charity shop as i get fed up of the same ones all the time. Then jus walk and...

Blimey. You put me to shame. I hope you do it but if not this time you will get there My scales are out of action but i am hoping all the walking is helping How much do u want to lose in total?

If you have the books the only other thing you need is determination. This site certainly beats the group meetings for me but we are all different.:king2:

Great. I think the exercise is as importantvas the diet. I am going to ealk two hours this morning what fit bit ha

Walked nearly 9miles. Been goid foodwise except choc ice. Hope you get chance to do some exercise. I want to get cycle helmet and do more biking. Working tomorrow all day so not much exercise. Love pilates. Cassie ho has a lot of short pilates workouts on her blogalates website. Give it a look...

I went to one group meet and digned up so got online app. Is great for recipes and ideas for breakfast lunch etc. Can t send to anyone as tried with my daughter and she could nt upload. If theres anything you want me to look up and you ve...

You are so right. Planning is the key. U cook a lot saturday so i have a ni brainer for dinner. The bread thing gets me too. Often have omlette and salad f breakfast. Bacon or mushroom even tomato omlette. Its a wonder i dont turn into a salad lol!

Could you have syned the bread? I must try the chips

Well done. It s a really good eating plan. I went to one group meeting and thats enabled me to get the app. Recipes are so nice. Made chicken tagine friday. Was lovely...had it with cous cousvand green salad Keep up the good work

Years ago and I mean about 40 ppl drank a lime cordial called PLJ. This lemon in water is very common plaxe esspecially in places like spain and Italy. I am sure it will do u gd...wheter it makes u lose more weight...I will sit in the fence...but with lemon water in my hand

With this lovely weather is nt it great to get outdoors. I seem to have lost the plot with the gym and classes but yesterday walked 9.5 miles in total. We went to meet our son so walked to the station then atound where he lives. Today we are visiting our daughter so we are going on our bikes...

I agree with Gunkalunka. The wine defo slows down weight loss. Reading the sw website its better to go overboard on dyns than give up on the plan. Having said that maybe having one or two drinks more often Would work better. I am going to try it mabe four nights then three alcohol free.

I was in Tesco and saw vegetable oil in a spray for £1.50. Result

Brilliant idea. Thank u.

Thankyou. I sent for some Pam but i had thought of an oil spray. I was nt sure where to buy ..do you know. Oil is my downfall. I like you use water where i can. Thanks again Faye

Hi all. Does anyone know if there is an alternative to frylight? We really dont like it and regular oils are ma:airquote:dly hi in flippin syns. Thank you in advance for any replies

Welcome and good luck. This site will be invaluable to you. It really helps if you have the starter pack. You can get it online from Ebay or go to one class. If you find things difficult dont give up soneone on here will help you. The main thing is stick at it. . I personally thing its an eating...

U wull checj it out and come bk to you.

I think once youve got the books and your head around it it is easy. Even if you go off the rails now and then. I do cross reference with mfp because occasionally it has said eat a bit more which i think is why it is gd to use the syns

I am telling everyone. Type in twochubbycubs. Then download. 400 sw recipes. I was only going to sw for the website with the recipes. Got one free group weigh in then can stop going. Want thd consultant who i saw last wk to get the money as she did a gd talk. Not her fault it s not my thing

Thank you. You too

GREAT. JUST WALKED 90MINS. STARTED AT GROUP LAST WEEK SO WATCH THIS SPACE. GOOD LICK FAYR X

I went and still think its not my thing BUT I am going to stick at it because knowing the consultant is going to weigh me is keeping m on the right track. :D

I got two classes and registration with my starter pack from ebay. I went today and the consultant and everyone there were lovely. She does three groups back to back. Very popular I still don t think it s my thing, but will stick at it. Hopefully if i lose for a few weeks i can just get weighed...

I am not working as much so there is really no excuse for me. Let s make a pact to go more often from monday. New week new exercise plan:character00116:

Thats lovely. Homemade chilli con carne. Rice. 6 doritos. Sour cream and salad. Got visitors but have planned in advance to keep myself on track:eek:

Not much but doing lots of weights etc at home and walking. I ve got a lazy attitude to the gym at the momment ...book on spin kettles circuit all the time but then cancel. Must get back on it.

Lovely. Hairy biker fishcakes last night ...moroccan chicken and chickpea stew with a bit of rice and salad tonight:eatdrink051:

I am lucky there i know a good retired watchmaker who knows a good jewellerr who both still do a bit at home. Well done

What sockmonkey said re fat and muscle. I often get told what a lot of weight ive lost when actually ive gained but look thinner

Good idea x

The fat takes up more area than the muscle so you can look thinner but weigh the same.

Ah. Thank you. I can t ear the bigger pkt...i am nt mad on oats and it s too much for me. :character00254:

I could nt agree more ...i use water for some things too. Or ev olive oil and use it as H E

Life happens. Hope you have a great time. Talking to an aquaintance yesterday and she was saying how going to a group had helped her Keep you posted Faye x

Recently got the starter pack and with it came free registration and two weeks of group meetings. Was nt going to bother but now i ve decided to give it a go. I ve always been averse to meeting s but the idea has grown on me. I think the thought of being weighed each week may keep me on the...

Do that for 14 weeks and its a stone. Well done. It sounds like an excuse but its not....my scales need new battery. I have been good. Got a short break coming up and want to stay on track. Also starting group meetings on 17 th of this month. Keep up the good work :bestwishes:

I rang the consultant of the group i am going to and she said this is all ok so i think i got a pretty good deal. Would nt have gone to group meeting otherwise
