Thanks lovely. I'm going to give it s go. The hunger is too much!! xx

Thank you all for your help! Jeanne, I have requested to join that group. I guess what's confusing is that it seems like the "extra easy" but with more good stuff. I try and eat healthily anyway. I like the idea of the extra healthy extras (especially nuts and cheeses). I think it will help me...

So why did they stop them? Seems like the green days are loads better for veggies.

Thanks so much. Can you mix and match? Like mon, wed, fri sp days and tues, thurs, sat and sun green days? x

I am about 3 and a half weeks in to the plan. I have stuck to it mostly (I did have a bit of a 4 day blip involving chocolate, takeaway and a few drinks). I have definitely seen results although as I have said in a previous post... I am always hungry. As I work for the NHS, my eating patterns...

I looked on the app but couldn't see. Sorry! x

Thanks everyone, the snack ideas have been really useful! Work has been super busy so snack planning I think is a must for the coming shifts (which are nights - makes it harder somehow!). I went quite off plan for the weekend and ate lots of food which wasn't diet friendly. And wine. And...

How exciting is wedding planning?!! I have been a bit lax with the "dieting" over the (long) weekend but I'm back into it as of today. xx

Beachsands... How many pounds away from 9st 7lb are you? ... And why the 6 week deadline?

Thanks! I might give it a go.

Hi! Can I join your thread? I weighed in today from 11st to 10st 10.5lb. My goal is around 9st 7lb and I am 5"4. x

Following! How are you getting in Mary Jane? x

One pound to go!!

I started slimming world just over 2 weeks ago and I am struggling so much with hunger. I am hungry all the time! I am eating regularly too as well as drinking lots of water. I have recently cut wheat from my diet as I am intolerant and I am also a vegetarian. Could it be that the snacks I'm...

Thank you so much but the ones I had are just the plain ones. X

They are 99 cals each... Are they 5 syns? Healthy extra B? I have looked online but I'm so confused!! Can anybody help? Thanks, N x

what do you do with it? Inspiration please!!

I am in the same situation Oblivion, except I am wheat intolerant too! Fun fun! x

I am just interested in what other people are doing. Mine depends heavily on my shifts (NHS worker) and my kids. I walk as much as possible (10,000 - 25,000 steps on my day off) Exercise programme set by personal trainer 1 - 3 times a week (strength/core and cardio) Yoga 1-2 times a week If...

I'm not really sure about mine. I'd say 9st 7lb because it's almost half my BMI range & when I was doing weight watchers many years ago & I was down to 9st 4lb, everyone told me to stop dieting as I looked like if I lost anymore I'd have lost too much. I didn't exercise then though. I am 5"4

I'm an NHS worker too! I totally get the difficulty with food. Especially when we get so many lovely thank you gifts (biscuits, chocs) & me and my colleges love to bake. When you woke at 5.30am, had breakfast at 6am and either skip lunch completely or don't get it until 4pm, sweet tea and...

I started in a group. I weighed in at the start & was quite shocked as I was half a stone bigger than I expected. Went the following week as planned & I'd lost 2.5lbs. The bored looking consultant (who was on her phone texting or something) asked if I was happy with that & I said 2lbs was a good...

Ninah, it's a really positive step that you've joined slimming world. I hope you are getting on well? Are you going to classes or doing it at home? I work shifts in a hospital and have 2 kids so the regularly (same time each week) of classes are a bit of a no no for me. I am sticking to the...

Some great ideas there! Thank you!! I hadn't thought of frittatas but that would completely work! I will try and jazz up my salads too because after 12.5 hours of work on only some lettuce and a couple of cherry tomatoes... I feel utterly crap!! xx

Does anybody know the syn value of the recipe/each cookie? They look yum & healthy (although they do use butter and maple syrup!).

I am struggling for ideas! Inspiration please? (Especially vegetarian!) N x

I am also a veggie and did my first SP day a few days ago... (Don't know if it's right!). I seemed to eat loads and loads! Much more than normal. Breakfast - Fruit salad and total 0% Greek yogurt Snack - Slimming world recipe houmous with carrot and courgette sticks Lunch - Mixed bean and...

Thanks! I will follow you guys then! xx

I'm not talking majorly off plan but 10 or 15 syns over. Do you limit the syns for the coming days or what?

His afternoon, me & my fiancé took our kids to Wetherspoons for dinner. I chose the pasta pomodoro (basically pasta, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, basil, black pepper) which is 428 cals. I've have a Google search and found it noted down as 14 syns... But surely this can't be right? It was a small...

Brilliant ideas! I will try the cottage cheese and carrots tomorrow. I eat loads of eggs at the moment too. x

I am really struggling with hunger on slimming world. I having 3 meals a day plus my healthy extras. A slight issue is that I am vegetarian and also sensitive/intolerant to wheat and so I limit wheat intake. Most of my syns are taken to jazz up my meals and I am finding myself hungry a lot. My...

April 2016?? x

If cause! I obviously didn't read that properly!! x

I've been mostly using my syns for things to add to my main meals (salad dressings and sugar) I was hoping to ditch sweetner and syn sugar instead... Turns out I drink too much tea! I think I will mix what I use my syns on from avocado to chocolate and wine. After all, it's all about balance...

That sounds lovely. Unfortunately for me I have a bit of an issue with wheat & so I'd have to substitute the pasta sheets for wheat free ones or slices aubergine or something. x

Fantastic food ideas! Nothing to add hear at the moment but I will definitely try some of these!! x

I calorie count on myfitnesspal as well as follow the principles of slimming world. A slimming world consultant told me off and told me I needed to throw myself into the slimming world plan & forget about calories... But old habits die hard I guess. My calorie intake over my a first 3 days has...

Can I join in? I am currently 11st 11lbs and hoping to get down to 9st 7lbs. Last time I was this weight was 10 years ago! I am getting married next year and am using this as my inspiration! My job involves long shifts and often very little time to eat. There is also always cake, biscuits...

Hi! I'm getting married next June & I (re) started slimming world 2 days ago in a last ditched attempt to shift some weight in preparation for wedding dress shopping. I am about 1 stone over weight & a further stone over what I'd like to be. Anyone else doing slimming world to lose weight for...

another 2lbs off for me this week :) x

Everybody is doing so well... well done guys :) :) :) XXX

Ah yay week 2 winner :) ... another 2lbs off this week... not that I can tell but anyway!! xx

I really want to do some baking with the kids... usually I would make some ridiculously calorific sugar loaded cupcakes with loads of butter cream swirled on top and sprinkled with something sugary... but as I am (obviously) dieting I wondered if there was anything I can make that wont use all...

2lbs loss for me :) Well done everybody :)

2lbs loss for me :) Well done everybody :)

Bit late with my weigh in but from monday... another 4lb off x

Sorry... A bit late with my weigh in... another 4lbs off this week for me :) x

Thanks :) I tend to have higledy pigldey days when I am on nights where I eat dinner at the normal time and it is my first meal and breakfast is my dinner... with some toast in the middle ... Maybe I will need a rethink when I go on nights next weekend... x

Odd question... When working nights... should I reset my points at midnight as usual or should I have my working time as my day if you know what I mean?? xx

I have almost a full pack left... and I brought the cheese triangle crisps too... I do not even want to open them.... x

aww thanks guys :) xxx

I am 12st exactly... can I join??? x

I didn't fight hard enough to start him off as veggie... He was 1 year old when he had meat... I wanted to talk to him when he was old enough and get him to choose but it never worked out... my youngest eats fish but I wont feed him it. xx

My mum is and one of the kiddies is but my fiance is not :( x

I thought they would be more!! No I don't but I have the online subscription and the android app which are amazing for planning my meals!!! xx

I love eggs... and cheese and milk... I would love to be a vegan in theory but I wouldn't want to give things up... Being veggie is a life long thing for me so it just seems normal to check for things (like anchovies and gelatin) ... I hate that so many low fat yogurts have it in actually... xx

I read a quote on this site yesterday that went something like this... If you drop your phone on the floor you don't stamp on it until it is well and truly broken... you pick it up and move on... It is my new mantra! (Thanks to whoever it was that posted it :) ) xxx

Thats the plan :) I MUST STAY AWAY FROM THE DOUGH BALLS AND GARLIC BUTTER.......xx

Hey! I am a 29 year old full time student midwife living with my (very slim) fiance and our 2 sons (8 years and 2 years). I have yoyoed with my weight ever since my early teens and spent months and months of my life obsessing over food and diets... some worked & some didn't... some were healthy...

I am a proper veggie... I don't eat gelatin either, what about you? x

Yay brilliant!!!! Maybe I should start a food diary...? x

You did amazingly at Prezzos!! Very impressed! I am hoping to arrange a meal out to pizza express with my mum next week which is going to be a challenge .. with wine!!! xxx

REMEMBER... 0.5lb is half a shoe... HALF A SHOE!!! xxx

Me me!! I am a veggie too! :)

I am 29... a busy full time student with 2 kiddies... total goal for weight loss is 3st... week 1 a loss of 4lb. Currently I do no exercise but I am hoping to start jogging 2 nights a week next week... I think having a buddy would be really useful for me ... Anybody interested?? xxx

I don't really know much about how slimming world works but I know I struggle to limit my own portions so weight watchers works for me brilliantly, its the only diet that I have ever lost weight on... Bar the cigarettes and coffee diet... that I would not recommend!! xx

Half a shoe is nothing xxx

1/4 margarita pizza with 175g spicy wedges... and a massive salad! Followed by a sweet cuppa and a jaffa cake! I have quite a few points left for dinner as I skipped brekki and had a very small lunch :)

I have brought loads of quavers as they are on offer in tesco :)

Brought some weight watchers salted hoop crisps... They are disgusting !!!! I would rather have half a pack of hoola hoops instead!!!

My weigh in is on a Monday and today that is 12st

can i join please??

My total goal weight loss - 42lbs ... the same (as google says) a 5 and a half year old boy!

U started using my weeklies... I had saved them all... skipped breakfast... pointed up the meal and some of the alcohol but then I just got a bit tipsy and I went off points... (whoops) x

So I stepped on the scales this morning to find a 4lb loss... 'Small drop big ocean' was my initial thought... until I put this no perspective... My youngest son was just over 4lbs when he was newborn... Thought that it might be nice to write what our weight loss is equivalent to to give us a...

ahh thanks :) I was quite pleased as I drank quite a lot of alcohol this weekend at a friends wedding :) x

4lbs loss for me on my first week :)

Chloe it sounds like you are doing really well. I have PCOS too although it was only diagnosed in the last 6 months. It should be around 4 pp for 100g cooked brown rice & 6pp for 100g cooked white rice I think?! I think it must be your weigh in tonight so good luck :) x

So it is my first week on the plan and I have been saving my weekly points up so that I can relax over the weekend (food and wine etc)... My weigh in is on Monday... should this matter? x

Ahhh brill... thank you... a bit of incentive for me :) My weigh in is on Monday!

and well done elfy!! xx

Thank you Chips... I have been mega controlled this week and even when I have been really hungry I have managed to stay on the plan so I really hope I can stay in control with the weekend... I think its the booze that I will need to be careful of but its my friends wedding so I am going to relax...

Lauren... how are you getting on? :) x

challenge even!! :)

ununpentium... are you going to start a challange for this then? So we can have a weekly check in? x

Hiya :) Maybe we can support eachother?? What are you studying? I am trying to lose weight at uni too... I am a 2nd year student midwife & we were all warned before the course started that the cost of the course for many is a relationship breakdown and 2 stone... Fortunately I have had...

These photos are amazing... you have all come a long way & you should be very proud of yourselves... It has prompted me to raid the photo collection looking for a picture that I can use as my BEFORE shot when I reach my goal :D

Thanks :) good as I am doing all I can to limit the damage of this coming weekend... all weekend away fom home... Dinner & poss wine while out with friends on Friday and a wedding on Saturday... eeek x

Can I join? I think my aim for the next 8 weeks is to lose a stone i think... I think that is achievable?

while following the plan :D

Quorn curry & brown rice... 10 pp 88 g quorn, pataks curry paste, 100g rice loads of veggies & tinned tomatoes.

Ah thanks elfy! Can I ask a question about activity points... (sorry if it sounds dumb) ... Went for a walk today in the woods with my friend and the kids... we walked for an hour and we aimed to walk fast (not exactly power walking) and the pro points calculator said it was 5 pp... does this...

ah I am sure you can do it... I feel like I hit the end of my tether with my body image and its making me unhappy... I am day 2... approaching 30 and have a wedding to go to in the summer in which I feel very anxious about attending ... so if you fancy buddying up let me know :) x

Can I join in :) I could really do with some support... I have a lovely partner although he is bored of 'diet talk'... :) xx N xx

Hiya :) I am a newbie to the forum... I am a busy mother of 2 boys & a full time NHS student. This is one of many attempts to cut the post pregnancy tum (my youngest is 2 and a half) and lose 3 stone. I started weight watchers online on Monday, I thought being able to manage my food diary...
