Hi everyone! Sorry I have been missing in action recently! Just been so hectic at home and work! well...I lost 2lbs this week! I am so relieved to see that my noddy is finally getting moving! It's about time! Celebrated with a Singapore chow mein for 8syns for my dinner and it was delicious...

Hi everyone. well I had my first weigh in on Wednesday and only lost a measly half pound which I was devastated about. My consultant looked at my food diary and said I was doing all the right things and hopefully I will see my efforts pay off this week. So that's that. But I have a night out for...

I am not a yoghurt fan which is pretty annoying as they are free...going to try and make myself eat one of those Greek style ones...maybe they will be a bit nicer? i really wish I had a set of scales at home to prepare myself for weigh in...but it will have to wait until next month sadly! x

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of update! Been really busy at home! I am good! I have the weekend off which makes me soooo happy! Need a major lie in ha! It is pouring down here too...which is normal for us sadly ha although it is really icy too which is not good for someone as clumsy as me...

Hey! I lost 0.5lb this week and it was my first week! I have to admit to being totally gutted as I have followed SW before so know what I am doing. But these things are sent to try us and all we can do is keep going and hope for better next week! our bodies don't like being told what to do ha! x

Thanks guys! I am over the initial shock now. I just couldn't believe it when I got on the scales! I was so confident that I had followed the plan to the best of my ability. But oh well I just need to keep fighting for a good result next week I suppose. I had a conversation with my consultant...

3lbs is fantastic!! Well done :) xx

Well just back from weigh in...I lost 0.5lbs. To say I am gutted is an understatement. x

It's not daft at all :) I put it in uncooked but you could add cooked rice to save a bit of time! Today has bee ok I think...I had my works Xmas do tonight (a bit late but oh well) so we went out for dinner. Now this place had pretty much NO good options. Like at all. It was all deep fried or...

That place sounds brilliant! It's good to know we can go out and still enjoy ourselves with friends and family! in my slow cooker I put in four grated carrots, a leek, two small grated onions and chicken stock made with three stock cubes. I put it on high for a couple of hours then added some...

Hey! when the need for chocolate or chips grabs you it is sometimes just impossible to say no isn't it!? My plan for when that happens is to make sure I stop at only one meal and adjust my syns for they next couple of days. The best advise I have been given since starting this is to think of the...

Hey! Cranachan is a scottish pudding with raspberries, oats, cream and whiskey...oh my goodness it is so good! well yesterday went pretty well all things considered I think...although I did end up eating baked potato, beans and salad for lunch AND dinner as I was out and had no idea what else...

Yeah I am really excited to see how much I have lost! I am hoping for about three pounds but we will just have to wait and see I suppose! This week has been really good so Far except yesterday...I ended up eating two baked potato and beans as I was out and had no idea what else to have haha! How...

I am from a little village just outside of Glasgow! And the stereotypes are true...it's always raining ha! X x

Welli. Have been feeling very positive today although I have to admit to really craving a cake...but I know this is only because I am not allowed it ha. I haven't wanted cake since I started my job! I am proof that you CAN get sick of cake after a while! But I managed to stay strong and I feel...

I think putting rice in soup must bea scottish thing because when I told my family in England about it they were gonsmacked haha! Chicken and rice soup is a staple up here! I would love the recipe please!i a sore risotto! Especially because it is usually fill of Parmesan ha! just finished my...

Hi and welcome! That's great we weighi no n the same day and are almost the same starting weight so would be good to keep track of each other's progress! Xx

Hey! Do you eat soup? I made a lovely chicken and rice soup today that might be suitable for you? It was chicken stock, carrots, suede, leek, and a handful of rice. It wouldn't be good to keep in your flask in the car? My cousin cannot eat gluten so we try to find imaginative recipes to give her...

Hey! I am subscribing! Your sweet chilli chicken recipe sounds lovely! Going to give it a try at the weekend so will let you know how I get on with it! Xx

Thanks so much guys! Knowing other people are reading this will really help to keep me on track :D xx

Hello! well today has been great so far! My family is on SW too so I came home for dinner and my mum had made gammon steaks, SW chips and eggs. Oh my goodness it was delish! So my plan for tomato pasta has went way out the window until tomorrow ha! today was also my first day at work...which was...

Hey here is my diary link :) http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/333553-rhianny-ventures-into-unknown.html alpen lights are really handy to have in the car - I always take them to work with me. Or another thing is to have a flask with soup, or with a mugshot in it. First...

Hi! A fellow scot! I am loving slimming world! I really enjoy cooking so it is definitely the best plan for me! How are you getting on! I have a long way to go until target but it's always good to have something to work towards I suppose! Xx

Thanks very much! I am sure you will do great! I have to say that I am so glad I took the plunge and went to class though! My consultant seems lovely and really easy to talk to! I bought the six week countdown so I hope it keeps me on track! so far todayi have had breakfast: 1x LM red onion...

Hey I am subscribing! I just started a new diary called Rhianny ventures into the unknown! Come say hi :) xx

Hey it went really well! I really enjoyed it actually. My consultant is really friendly and outgoing so I am sure I will have a great time! Feeling very positive for the coming week! And it wasn't as scary as I was expecting haha x

Hi and welcome! I have done SW online in the past but am joining my first class tonight. I think a good way of staying motivated is to keep a food diary and make sure you keep note of any little victories you have each day. I always feel good when I look back over the weeks and see how far I...

Thanks very much! I will just turn up the I. Think as I am awful on the phone! I am on a roll this morning - made soup and have dinner bubbling away! Let's see how long this enthusiasm lasts haha xx

Thanks so much for the support everyone :D I am really excited to actually see what image therapy is all about! Can I ask, did you just arrive at your class at the given time or did you ring and say that you were coming? Silly thing to be nervous about but I am ha x

Thanks so much guys! Will just count 2.5 to be on the safe side! Can't wait for my fake nandos! X

I love chicken with garlic Philadelphia light inside with bacon wrapped around the outside, with SW chips and vegetables. It's so easy to prepare and tasted delicious for hardly any syns! X

Hi guys can anyone tell me how many syns are in the Mexican rice fusions from Birdseye? They were on sale for a pound in asda so couldn't resist them ha! Thanks! Also does anyone happen to know how many are in the nandos medium marinade? Thanks xx

Hi! well here is a little info about me! My name is Rhian and I live just outside of Glasgow! I am twenty four and live with my partner :) I am also a baker in a cupcake shop which I absolutely love however it isn't so good for the whole slimming world thing ;) i did slimming world at home for...

That is a brilliant quote! Might have to use that as my mantra! What a good idea to write down all your reasons! I think I might do that in my new diary! Best of luck x

Hi welcome back! I am restarting today too although I am joining my first ever class tonight which should be interesting ha! Best of luck xxx

Hi all! i haven't posted much lately as I went totally off the wagon before Xmas and decided that doing SW online just wasn't holding me accountable for my actions so to a class I go! I am pretty terrified if if am honest but I know it is the best decision! my cupboards are all ready and waiting...

Just read this entire thread! Certainly gave me a lot to think about in relation to my partners health! My partner drinks excessive amounts of diet coke and has recently been unable to sleep and is pretty irritable without knowing why. At first I thought it might have been caffeine but I will...

I could have written this post myself! I am going to my first ever class on Wednesday after doing SW online so I would also love to know the answers to this! x

Hi everyone! it has been a while since I posted in here! I am going to join a class after Christmas instead if doing it at home as I think it will push me more. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me generally what the deals are when joining after Xmas/new year? I know there are usually some...

Mine is French bread sticks and crisps or all kinds! I could literally live on these x

And oh my goodness it is absolutely delicious!! i would make it again right now if I could! It is a little bit of preparation admittedly but I urge you all to try it ASAP!! rhian x

Hello! well I have been missing in action for the last little while. I have been away on holiday and also to rewind festival so lets just say slimming world hasn't had much of a look in ha! I am back into the fourteen stone bracket but I am atually not to bothered as I really enjoyed my time of...

Hi and welcome! I wish you the best of luck x

That is a fantastic weight loss in your first week! Congratulations and I hope it continues for you x

A wee unusual mid week update from me today! I feel so positive today. I went to the park with my girlfriend for a picnic and everything we ate was slimming world friendly. We had pasta, fruit and alpen bars and it was delicious and neither of us considered it to be 'diet food'! It just shows...

I always do daily syns! I average out at about thirteen a day but regularly go right up to the fifteen and it hasn't affected me whatsoever yet x

Yeah you still do not have to count them as syns :) x

Well I am so excited to say that I managed to lose 4lbs this week! I can't believe it! I am now only 3lbs away from my stone award! The only thing I did differently this week was make sure that I ate my dinners earlier in the evening than I usually did...and apparently it has worked...so maybe...

I really love eating and cooking since joining SW. I always enjoyed cooking but it was rare I ever gave myself the time to do it but now I make sure I set aside time each day and I love it! I love buying fresh ingredients and knowing that it is doing me so much good compared to what I used to eat. X

I tend to use between ten and fifteen a day. I would probably lose a little more each week if I had less but having them really makes me feel like I am not on a 'diet' as such x

No as far as I am aware you can put it straight on :) x

Best of luck for this week! Let us know how it goes xx

Best of luck hope you archive your two pounds! X

Sounds good to me! I think you could certainly get a loss like that x

Just wanted to say congratulations for signing up! You have really made the best decision possible! X

Good luck and congratulation! X

I too do the plan at home and it really is doable! Best of luck in getting started again x

I would also advise a weekly menu as it helps to keep me right on track. I would also be sensible with the amount of 'free' food your eating like the yoghurts...I always say to myself "would a normal person eat four yoghurts a day?" Obviously the answer is no. So just because it is free try and...

At the very most one a day x

Well done! Dominos is my major downfall so I don't know how you did that! X

Hi just wanted to way good like for your journey! X

Hi and good luck for tomorrow! There are certain meals I don't have one third super free with like spaghetti Bolognase as all the veg is in the sauce so I don't feel like I need a salad on the side too. It is up to yourself though but I tend to just use my common sense x

Good luck for tonight and. If it is a really bad result just try to draw a line under it and move on ASAP. Xx

I personally would give it two or three syns but it's completely up to you. It won't sabotage you xxx

Well today is a wee quick update to sayi have achieved my half stone award today!! And I am also now into the 13's! Woohoo! I was hoping to lose more than one pound again this week but I said at the beginning that that's all I was aiming for so I can't really be anything but happy! And it...

Best of luck! I always carry a couple of Allen bars and apples in my bag for emergencies! X

This may be a silly question but to scran bran taste anything like Ryvita? X

That's brilliant you are in the right mind frame to get started! You really need to be in the right place to get going. I weigh in on a Monday morning which really keeps me in line over the weekends I think...I can't binge is I want a good result ha. i was actually out at nandos tonight for the...

Sounds delicious! X

What I did was write down all of the reasons I was unhappy at my current weight. Then beside it I wrote down how excited I felt every time I recorded a loss on the scales...after that it was a no brainer and I started SW on the Monday x

I always drink at least two litres a day. Plain water is best but as long as your drinking it is a bonus x

Good luck! X

Thank you so much! It's so inspiring knowin that someone who was roughly the same weight as me can do so well in only seven weeks! I hope I can do half as well as that! I am still feeling as motivated as I was at the very beginning of my journey so I hope it lasts for a good while yet! rhian x

All free as far as I remember :)

Hi everyone! well as you can see from my signature i have lost another pound this week which I am very happy with! 6 in two weeks is very good going for me! And the biggest surprise is that I am just as motivated as I was before...that never happens after a one pound loss! I just feel that this...

Best of luck and well done for taking that step! X

Well don't for taking the step and joining! Hope you are finding it ok! X

Hi and welcome! I am in my second week too! For lunch I usually have something like soup or a jacket potato and salad with beans or tuna. Or sometimes I branch out and make a really simple stir fry with lots of vegetables! X

Hey I make sauces using chopped tomatoes, bacon, chicken, onions, mushrooms, carrots, peppers, peas and sweetcorn. I just fry it call in fry light then add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, mixed herbs and paprika and garlic. Sounds like alot but takes about ten minutes all in so can be done while...

I know it's great to follow someone who is on the same path! I am loving SW! I can't get over how much I can eat and still feel so full of energy and lose weight! My weekends are definitely my weakness! I am always out and about so it is a little harder to stick to plan especially where nights...

Hi and welcome?, what a great loss to have in your first week?, I hope it continues for you x

Best of luck! Let us know how your first few days go x

Thanks for your advice! Your completely right! I need to just let her get there in her own time and think about myself instead. She will get there when she is ready :) x

Good luck for tomorrow looks like we have a similar amount to lose so I will be following this with interest :) rhian x

I am finally starting to get that ino my head I think! And thank you so much! :D rhian x

Hi and welcome! Best of luck in your journey! X

SW chilli, boiled rice, hexa of cheddar grated in top and a teaspoon of sour cream and chive dip. Yummy!

Thanks so much! How are you getting on! I am really loving it and lost 5lbs this week! X

Thank you so much! Things aren't going great with my sister to be honest. She is still eating a SW dinner but that's purely because I do all of the cooking so she has no choice but the rest of the day is swiftly falling by the wayside. She keeps saying she will be back to it on Monday...but I...

Thank you so much! Much appreciated! X

I did Atkins last year and lost two stone however I piled it all back on again pretty swiftly. I would say red days would be your best bet for getting into the swing of things and then alternating with green eventually once your body has gotten used to the small amount of carbs being back in...

Either going to class or eBay is a good option too! X

I too joined SW online and it has been a godsend to me! Knowing I can check my sun values whenever I need to takes alot of stress out of the way of eating! rhian x

For me is it when I haven't planned out my day. Like yesterday I was off to babysit for my cousin and she was make inner for me. Because I didn't know what it was going to be I took it to mean that I couldn't possibly stick to plan and so had a bit of a bad day :( . There was no reason for me to...

Well I haven't updated for a few days as I have been ridiculously busy but I have managed to lose 5lbs this week! I am so so happy with this and hope to do well this week! rhian

Hi can anyone tell me the sun values of a packet of know chicken noodle soup? thanks! rhian

Thanks for the reply! i know you are completely right. I shouldn't have kept going on at her because it will make no difference unless she is ready herself. i just hope the realisation comes sooner rather than later for her sake! rhian x

Fajita chickens and cous cous stuffed pepper

Hi everyone! Can I join pretty please! I have started today weighing at 14.6 so would dearly love to get into the 13's! x

Hi everyone! my name is Rhian and I have started SW today to really get myself in hand. I am now the heaviest I have ever been at over fourteen stone so I need to really give myself a kick up the bum! I am aiming to be around the ten stone mark and I am hoping to lose around 1 lb a week. I know...

Hi everyone! Today is my first day on SW and I would love to join this challenge to get my head in the right space and really have something to work towards! Looking to lose at least 1lb a week until Christmas. Don't want to challenge myself too much! thanks! rhian
