First weigh in - lost 10lb

Forgot to say, I'm not a big breakfast eater but I've been having a smoothie made up of banana, unsweetened almond milk and either a bit of honey or organic peanut butter all chucked in the blender. For lunch I'll usually have an onlette of chicken in basil with salad, prawn salad, or cucumber...

Hi Emma - I'm 38 and have always struggled with my weight, I have 3 kids and a very busy working life and enjoy socialising - which usually involves eating out ! I have tried most diets and failed miserably, tried Cambridge plan but couldn't bear the taste of the shakes or soups - more wanted...

Well I am still at a standstill since Wednesday :( Buuuut, I got my TOTM yesterday so hoping now I might start seeing a loss again.

Definately ! I could eat a Scabby Horse tonight :eat: lol

Thankyou :) I haven't put any on still, but have stayed the same since tues which is a bit disappointing, but better than a gain !

One for the ladies here lol. Do you find that your weight goes up before your TOTM or during it ? Or even after I guess. Mine is due any day now, and at the moment I haven't gone up any lb's - but expected to as I normally feel quite blaoted before coming on.

Done it Woooohooooo Kitteh - 16lbs - 16lbs to go.. Lenny4974 - 7lbs - 7lbs to go... LucyLou - 7lbs -7lbs to go.... Guenevere -14lbs -3lbs to go... USAgirl - 14lbs - 14lbs to go... Irene - 7 lbs - 7 lbs to go Becky85 - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Rachel L - 5lbs - 4lbs to go Gemma79 - 14lbs - 14lbs to...

I've lost 10lb now wooohooo ! The day i went to the Dr's I was only down 3lb on my start weight after 4 weeks on SW -but I've lost 7lb in this week counting calories and taking the Reductil.

I include the odd Jaffa cake and packet of crisps as well as low fat cheese in my CC diet - I think if you deprive yourself of everything you enjoy you end up resenting the diet and fall off the wagon lol. I don't rigidly count my calories but stick to roughly 1200 per day - 1500 on a Saturday...

Hope you do well on LL, I couldn't stomach it. I know 3 ladies at the school who have done it and lost loads of weight, one of them lost 10st, but they have all now put the weight back on and some more ! It's obviously extremely important to follow the maintanence after losing the weight on LL.

Whoo hoo!! 5lbs off in first week of celebrity slim!!! Kitteh - 16lbs - 16lbs to go.. Lenny4974 - 7lbs - 7lbs to go... LucyLou - 7lbs -7lbs to go.... Guenevere -14lbs -3lbs to go... USAgirl - 14lbs - 14lbs to go... Irene - 7 lbs - 7 lbs to go Becky85 - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Rachel L - 5lbs - 4lbs...

Well I was finding SW reeeeeally slow going so went to my Dr on monday evening and she said that basically I had been the same weight for 4 years, and that my body was so used to the calorie intake it was getting (too many lol) that it was at a 'plateau'. She said by doing slimming world I was...

I went to see the dr yesterday and she was quite surprised I hadn't lost more, as I have gone back up 2lb so in over 3 weeks - almost 4 have just been struggling to keep going up and down a few pounds. She said I am the same weight I was 4 years ago, so she thinks my body is at a plateau (sp)...

Petal, what diet are you following while taking the Reductil ?

I went to Dr's today, just for a check and weigh, and told her I was wary of taking the Xenical, so she's given me Reductil instead, going to start tomorrow. Have also treated myself to new scales today, as I was 7lb lighter on hers - so quite chuffed lol

Just searched these, would the syn value be each or per pack ? Tesco Finest, Traditionally Made Pork Sausages, 6 pack, chilled 76g each Original 5½ Syns Green 9 Syns

Am i too late to join ? I started 1st aug ? Kitteh - 16lbs - 16lbs to go.. Lenny4974 - 7lbs - 7lbs to go... LucyLou - 7lbs -7lbs to go.... Guenevere -14lbs -6lbs to go... USAgirl - 14lbs - 14lbs to go... Irene - 7 lbs - 7 lbs to go Becky85 - 21lbs - 21lbs to go Rachel L - 5lbs - 4lbs to go...

thanks, i just read above again and it sounds comfusing - i meant i have gone down 4lb including the 2 the other day - not as well as - that would be nice. I really really must stop weighing every morning though.

Well i have suddenly gone down 4lb ! so maybe it's now coming off, i do think i need to get some new batteries for my scales too though, i have a feeling that was the problem lol So am now 6lb below start weight :)

I think you have to have a certain amount to lose and a certain BMI, but not sure, different drs might have different guidlelines. I had to lose some weight first on my own to prove to dr i was cutting down seriously.

Well i have had normal poops, maybe because I do green days ? I wonder if doing red and eating more meat would make it worse ?

Thats it - mum's off to Iceland for curry sauce for tonight !

I've been looking for a fairly low syn curry sauce to make a big potato and veggie curry and rice, and founf iceland do a twin pack of frozen curry sauces for 6.5 syns each on both days. Thats pretty good i think. Iceland Chinese Takeaway, Curry Sauce, twin pack, frozen 228g each...

Thankyou, I have been having my sins for a couple of days, whereas i'd been trying not too - had a Solero last night mmmmmm. I know I shouldn't have but i got on the scales this monmring and i have gone down again - that evil 2lb is back off, so fingers crossed it'll stay off lol.

oh don't ! I took them yesterday and haven't 'been' yet lol

I am really gutted with the way my diet/weight loss is going. I've been doing slimming world for 3 weeks (2 weeks really rigidly) and i lost 4 lb and am now back up 2 lb, so only 2 lb below my start weight ! I have around 6-7 stones to lose and just feel like a tthis rate it's never going to...

oooh they're good then

I'm gutted - was going to join SW club tonight but hubby's just rang and can't get home from work til late. I really wanted to get the password so I could check syns online. Soooo, can anyone tell me the syns for Philadelphia light Splendips - Sweet Thai Chilli please. aaaand the packets...

ok will do

Yes it was about 24 :o

My old book says Taco shells are 2.5 sins each on both Red & Green but bot sure if it's different now.

Tesoc have muller lights 54p each or 4 for £1.00 which is a really good offer.

I have some Xenical that my Dr gave me last year, just wondered is it worth taking these on SW or are they really for a low cal diet ?

I do find the green days better for making me feel full. I have found my weight loss quite slow though considering the amount I have to lose. I seem to have come to a standstill for the last few days.

I've been following SW at home, joinging a club tonight - and don't really seem to have lost much considering the amount I have to lose. I thought the weight would have come off quicker tbh - I'm sticking to it (with just the 1 naughty meal i had) but have only lost 4 lbs. I do mostly green...

I prefer Green days definately, and find i lost more on those when i did SW before. This time I did red for a week because I was told you lose more on red, but i only lost 1lb - did green the following week and lost 3lb.

It is a good feeling isn't it ! Last week i took the kids bowling and to McDonalds. Now normally I would have had a big mac meal, with a fat coke, and probably some nuggets too - bot I went into M&S, bought a prawn salad, and a bottle of water and ate that, and I was so pleased with myself...

Thanks everyone - I did have the Fajitas, and enjoyed them but you know what, afterwards I thought, was it worth it ? I'm glad I did have them because it actually made me realise that the feeling of being good and sticking to the diet all day, is actually better than the enjoyment I got from...

EACH ? oh dear ! I haven't had any sins today - but then again until weds i don't know how many i'm allowed lol Ignorance is bliss hehe But on a plus side - before dieting, on a normal day i would have had 3 coffees, each with 2 sugars by now, crisps, probably a couple of biccies, and...

I really fancy something different tonight ! I've been dieting since 1st august - cut a long story short my mum came to stay for a week at end of jusly and in that week we had 2 kebabs, chips, 2 mc donalds, Toby Carvey, and lots of choccies she bought with her ! The day she went home I...

Think 288 has workouts on it

sky 275 is Wine TV lol, no excercises but alot of tasting wine I can't drink lol.

will do , thanks.

haven't been for nearly 4 years so i guessed it will have changed slightly, i'm looking forward to going next week and getting my books. i only had white bread, to be honest i hardly ever eat bread so only had what the rest of the family normally eat. just been reading through the recipes...

I'm going to join my local SW on Weds, so for now am just using my old books and bits and pieces i can remember, as well as the SW mag i bought yesterday. (I'm not a breakfast person so struggling with that a bit, prefer my Coffee but as i normally have 2 large sugars it's not a good option...

ok going to sound a bit silly now but whats low GI ? I've only ever done SW

OMG !!!! OK lets call today a flexi syn day !! Kids and dog are eating the popcorn as we speak ;)

is RC counting calories ?

whole pack is 200g but above amounts are per 100g

i have hairless ones too - funny thing is they called skinny pigs lol

Thankyou, it's called Snackrite cinema style sweet popcorn. per 100g: calories 454kcal protein 4.0g carb 70.2g fat 17.5g i do mostly green days. (oh gawd i just ate some while i was reading the packet !)

oh wow, do you goto a local slimming club ?

is there a way to work out the sins in something ? just bought some popcorn, but not sure if i can eat it lol.

Nr Ware

I'm going to join SW on Weds evening, but have lost 4lb this week so it's a good start and has made me more determind, but yes I do need the advice and weigh ins lol.

oooh thanks, i'll get the shots instead then.

Anyone know how many syns in an Exotic Solero ? They're good on calories but not sure about SW

well i've been trying to do low calorie but to be honest i think i may be better off doing slimming world or something not so restricitve. Thats' why i cant do Weight watchers points, because once i've used all the points and know i can't have any more it makes me want it more lol.

I can deal with the healthy eating plans, and am getting used to much smaller portions, but how do you overcome that nauseous hunger feeling ? You know where you feel sick with hunger in between meal ? Water just doesn't get rid of that !

me too, I also have set 6st as a target althouth ideally would like to lose a little more. At the moment it just seems like such a long way off but after years (and 3 children) of my weight gradually creeping up, I'm at the point where I need to lose weight as well as want to.

Is the CD much lower in calories than slim fast ? Slim fast seem a slightly cheaper idea, and easier to buy, but is it as effective as CD ?

I know exactly what you mean - I am impatient and if i only lost 2lb in a week i feel like giving up ! I'm going to try to set myself smaller goals, like say 7lbs at a time.

Superdrug had a really good selection, think i might give it a go, never tried it before !

I'm looking into the Cambridge Diet, and would like to know how much it costs to get started ?

ahhh Cambridge Diet ?

wow well done, i know a few people who have done lighter life with huge weight loss. can i just ask, what does CD, WW mean ? i'm guessing WW is weight watchers ?

Hi, My name's Zoe, I'm 31, and have joined hoping to get the support and encouragement i need to lose 84lb ! I've been trying to diet myself for 10 days and only lost 2lb - so i need to find a plan to suit me, rather than just trying to reduce calories. I think portion size is my main...

Hi, I'm new on here, but great to see some other guina pig fans ! We currently have 30ish pigs, we breed and show them, and have creams, blacks, longhairs for show, and some pet crossbreeds. We also have some hairless ones, they were in the newspapers in october - our claim to fame lol.
