Susan, your'e near your 2 stone award then, that's fab , welcome to the forum.

Wez, it will work, your body just has to get used to it, and I bet once you start losing you'll do it really quick. Make sure you are weighing everything, and measuring your milk etc, and definately write down a food diary. Your consultant will help you, she just needs to se when your body...

Nooo don't make Fruit smoothies, they are synned. Keep to chewing LOL!!

That was a fab first week, good luck for your second week.

It tastes quite sweet, like carrot and swede together I guess. I love Butternut Squash Soup, and the recipe in the last month's magazine is fab! Very creamy, and I always add a milk HE A to it, as I don't have it in coffee or cereals.

I haven't updated my diaries for a while, but I have 6 of them uploaded onto my weight loss blog, if you want a peek.

Well 14.5lbs actually, but I was thrilled tonight to lose another 2.5lbs, that's 33 lbs in 14 weeks, I'm so pleased with myself. One more pound, and I'll get my 2.5 stone award, and go down into that next wonderful stone, yay, can't wait.

I love the Cherry and Almond, as they have a slightly sour taste. Debz, don't worry about the syns, they are Healthy Extras, and you need what's in them. Most Healthy Extra Bs are about 6 syns.

So if I have had my Sweet Thai noodles for some months, I have 6 packets in the cupboard (no I'm not a hoarder. LOL!) Do you think they are still free? Did the recipe change recently,or did SW just change the syn value? (Cos they're mean? :mad: )

Yes that's exactly where I put mine. I have quite a few now, 11 actually. Lots of Slimmer of the week/month ones. They soon build up if you stick with it.

Sounds really yum, and very easy, and yep, I think I could eat that in one sitting too. :D

LOL Geri, I like that! :D

At least you know why you gained. You must definately draw a line under this, and don't let it all run away from you. Get back to writing a food diary, it really makes you think twice about what you eat. ((Hugs)) anyway, and don't beat yourself up about it. :)

I haven't been around here for a while, I've had a few health issues to get my head around, but I'm still losing, and got my 2 stone award tonight. I'm very pleased as that's in 11 weigh ins. I just wanted to shout from the roof tops, iykwim !

Yes similar format to my SW group, but as there are so many members, you don't get much of a chance to say much. I "love" my class sessions, I find them totally inspiring, and as I am of a competitive nature, often set up a challenge with other ladies, especially those who joined when I did and...

You have done very well to lose weight and cope with all your family stuff. You go girl, 'cos you know you can lose that 8.5lbs in 8 weeks. And it sounds like you need a holiday.

Oh no, I love these, I just hate that when they change the recipe. They are always my quick fall back on a syn free snack on a green day.

I always do a food diary without fail, it really does make you more careful what you eat.

Hi Jen, from another Jen, and I always do Green Days. I see you are moving to Norfolk. I live in Norwich. I haven't been around for a while so just catching up with everyone.

I'm really chuffed as I won slimmer of the month for Jan. I was really very shocked, and totally surprised. There are 3 very full busy classes where I go, and over 200 hundred members in all, so I'm feeling pretty proud at the moment. :)

I'm attending clas, and could never do it home, as my discipline wouldn't be half as good, so I admire anyone who can sucessfully do it. Check out my blog if you want a bit of inspiration, I've lost 17lbs in my first 6 weeks, I'd like to think it might inspire somone .

Well done Kate on your first stone. I take my photos every month, and I can see quite a bit of difference, I lost 16 lbs last month, and my stomach really has flattened, my face thinner, my neck and my shoulders, but I think next month, will be a lot more noticable.

I agree, this forum is set up very nicely, it's lovely to use, and much better than the other forum I use, not sure if it's the same one though. We'll have to holler from the rooftops :D

Mine is tomato and red lentil onions and carrots chopped, a bay leaf, a pint and a 1/4 of stock, either bovril, or an oxo cube (synned) 4 oz of raw red lentils, 1 or 2 cans of chopped tomatoes. Cook, and whizz smoth, and then add milk from your day's HE if you have any. I guess about a tbl...

Ooh, sounds lovely, especialy with the spinach, I love spinach, but noone else in the house does. :(

I'm a veggie, and I definately couldn't do mix2max, but if you ate fish, you probably could. I've not heard of Success Express, is that something new? Should it be in my book somewhere? Do you know what page? (sorry about all the questions, LOL!)

Thanks, I'm not feeling so confident about a loss this week,and I don't know why I 'm feeling so heavy, have been totaly on plan, and eating loads of fruit and veg, but I just think losing so much last week, has put my body on red alert, and it's hanging on to everything for dear life :D

Pasta is really quick to cook, you just need to make big batches of low synned sauces, and freeze separate portions. Pasta is completely free on a green day, and very filling. There is a lovely SW sauce book you can buy.

I'm so happy, I lost another 4 lbs this week, got my stone award and was Slimmer of the week. I'm just jumping up and down. :D

There are two types of days Claire. Red ones, where you eat mainly meat, and smaller portions of potato, rice pasta etc, or green days where you can eat rice, pasta, potatoes unlimited plus fruit and veg. Both days have some foods that you need to eat on top, ie milk cheese, bread, cereals...

Well done Persephone, I did another good loss, 3.5lbs this week., and got my half stone award in three weeks.

Who is the manufacturer?

I don't think the SW password should be shared, but I'll look up the syns for you. Be back soon

Well I lost another 3 lbs this week, woo hoo, and I was slimmer of the week.

Hi Busy, well done for making a choice, I think that in itself is quite a significant step, and it's got to be the one for you hasn't it. There is no doubt SW works, if you don't cheat yourself, and any exercise alongside has to be a plus in my book. Wow, losing 5st is fab, but 1.7, shouldn't...

Karen, I don't think SW would pile the weight on at all. After all it's a very healthy way of eating. If you've only been having packs, I guess any solid food will give you some sort of weight gain to begin with, but it would be a very initial gain, while your body adjusted I would have thought.

Good luck Kandy. I'm doing ok, I lost 3lbs at my first weigh in, and doing very well this week too. Great to see quite a few Slimming Worlders here.

Well hi then. Perhaps we can support each other along the way. So you got weighed then did you? Was it bad? I'm doing ok this week, and have my first weigh in on Thursday.

Thanks for the support , I'm definately going to need it in 5 days, that's when I officially start my weight loss!! It's fine dreaming about it now, but when crunch time comes, there's no going back, I can't let myself down. I've gotta be strong and really go for it. 47 lbs isn't a tremendous...

Probably, cutting down on food and alchohol, in anticipation of the festive season, so hopefully I'll not gain anything over the festive season and start my weight loss at the weight I have already worked out. AND weighing myself at night aftera meal, and then weighting myself first thing in my...

OK, maybe in the new year then. I'm not started yet anyway, but have very surprisingly lost 5lb this week.

Lapland

Anyone starting SW in the new year? I am and could do with a buddy to chat to. :)
