Hey Hun! You still doing the plan. How are you getting on?

Hi everyone, I'm starting a VLCD today and I'm on here for support and advice. I'm not officially following any official plan right now. I've been given some 'slim'n'save' products by a friend at work. Probably about 13 days worth but a lot are bars, so probably more like 10 days. I think I am...

My app says 35 but it isn't the official Ww app

I follow pp but do a few simply filling days each week. It's similar but you have to cook everything. On slimming world certain ready meals were free but on WW you gave to make everything yourself for it to be free

Happy New Year January is a great time to start a diet and for me I always manage to stick to it in January. So let's all set a goal to reach by 31st January. We can support each other along the way. At each weigh in update your goal to see the progress. I plan to lose 12lbs Slimmingbabe...

You could have a Wholemeal roll (hexb) and maybe put it under grill to make it toasted. Not exactly a crusty roll but still nice. Also the weight watchers petit pains used to be a healthy extra but I haven't checked recently. That is a crusty roll, looks like a mini baguette:

I've had cauliflower rice and it's soo good. However I don't like grating it. I wish I had an electric grater.

I saw a half price membership in a magazine, so it would be 30 instead of 59 But I can't remember which magazine....if anyone knows that may help you out. I joined online at the start of the year half price. Then downloaded the sheets. They are all on my iPhone. I never did slimming world as I...

Well Chicken is free on red and not green but I don't think you'd take a value if you did success express. Maybe free foods are free? I thought that you only took the higher value if it was a snack outside of your 3 meals. To be honest....I totally understood success express but once I read...

Just chop the fat off then it's free. Or buy it without fat. It's like chicken is free but chicken with skin isn't.

Here I go again.....I feel like my diet has been a never ending journey. I've actually lost over 2 and a half stone but the past year I have been up and down like a yoyo. Hovering around this weight. I'm not sure I have given in my all. I'm not one for keeping a food diary but I want to see if...

I've been reading about paleo for a while. It sounds so healthy. I do have weight to lose (although I am in the healthy weight bracket now) but I mainly just don't want to count calories and worry about that. I have noticed that dairy gives me acne. I cut it out completely about 6 months ago and...

I don't really have symptoms anymore, I must have imagined them. I'm just HOT.... :( which I hate. Anyway thanks for the messages guys! I might follow a few of your diaries on here :)

It does encourage cooking from scratch which is why I chose to do it . I don't mind the fruit rule to be honest as I don't like cooked fruit. I prefer fresh.

Congrats on your pregnancy Hun! Sounds like your doing great so far! We decided to start trying after I ovulated (I think ) so I think I'm out this month. Next month will be our first proper try. However I think I am imagining symptoms. I'm 7dpo and I don't feel myself. I have a headache...

Can't be any worse than the chemicals in that pasta'n'sauce. I respect slimming worlds decisions and stick to them all the same. I just think its a low fat diet that doesn't really care what goes into your body as long as it helps you lose weight. I think we are all responsible for ourselves to...

Okay. I still don't understand why instant mash and fake chemical pasta packs are free and a cooked apple is a syn. But I'm happy I can make soup. :)

Paracetamon and ibuprofen I don't take then so I'm unsure. But my scales measure water in the body. Whenever I have a cold or feel ill my body retains water. So unsure if our bodies retain water to help fight off sickness or whether that's just me :)

I know there are loads of rules on slimming world. Like syn cooked fruit and syn blended fruit. What about veg? Can I make soup? I can't see anything about this in my book. As I always blend my soup.

Snails....sneaks

Me and my hubby are going to start trying for a baby...exciting times. We know it can take a while. I want to start a diet and can't be bothered swapping after I do become pregnant. What is a good diet to do while pregnant. Obviously not a vlcd or anything...but I'm just curious.

Height Weight & Size I think for 5ft7 + a size 12/14 is perfect.

Eugh I never went back. The lady said 'Sarah is new tonight and can you believe she weighs 12 and a half stone, you would never guess, as your so toned' I could have died from embarrassment as she didn't mention anyone else's weight, only their loss. Plus I got told off for not bringing fruit...

Do mugshots taste nice? I don't like cuppa soups or pasta'n'sauce. Do they taste similar (like the fake powdery taste) or are they different. I keep wanting to try them as they seem a good snack on a day I'm super busy and need something more than superfree snacks

Height Weight & Size Yeah. It's just really interesting isn't it. I know we all carry it in different ways. No matter how big I get me hands feet and waist stay small. Plus I never get a double chin. I gain quite proportionately I think.

I agree with the veggies. 1/3 if every meal has to be superfree. I found it hard to use syns when I began as I am not huge on treats. But I use syns on food in my meals. Avocado, oil oil, nuts (I love pesto) yogurts, bread.

Hello everyone, I'm just curious of everyone's height, weight and size. I know we can be different sizes as the same weight and height. But I'm not sure what target to set myself. So I thought it would be interesting to see people's stats. In the past when I've told people my weight they have...

Do you guys find it expensive being vegan? I'm just curious.

I've cut out dairy completely, including cheese. I always had a rash on my arms. And mild adult acne. About a month after no dairy I suddenly noticed my arms didn't have any rash/blotchyness. My face was pretty much completely clear. So I just assume I have some sort of allergy. Thanks for...

Maybe some sort of fish cake? Although mash potato would probably work better. Which is free on EE and green if you make it without butter.

Hello, I already have a diary on here but I kinda went off the rails. So I wanted a nice clean new diary for my new start! I want to get to my 147lb target by Xmas Eve. 14 weeks! 25lbs. Less than 2 lbs a week. I will try my hardest. I started my journey with weight watchers and have lost 35lbs...

Hi, My mum swapped from vlcd. She gained 1lb the first week. Then lost an average of 2-3 lbs a week each week. So don't worry. Low calorie diets are not forever, especially if your a busy person using up a lot of energy. Slimming World is sustainable in the long term. Well done for your 5...

I'm not vegan, not even vegetarian. I eat meat once maybe twice a week. However I have recently cut out all cows milk/cheese. My skin is amazing, the rash on my arms has gone :) Anyway since there are a lot of vegans on this post, will someone recommend me a milk that isn't soya. I don't like...

In response to lickthelid I also hate bmi. I work in a medical setting and apparently they are pushing the waist to hip ratio as a better way to track health. Search google 'waist to hip ratio calculator' I love that as I come out super slim lol, as I have a tiny waist and carry my weight on...

I guess it depends how you are built, muscle etc but more importantly where you feel happy and comfortable. You can change your target at any time. I'm 5ft9 (1 inch shorter than you) I feel comfortable and can maintain easy at 11stone. I've ways been active and exercise and at this weight I'm a...

I try to track on here but forget. But I remember. Lot in my head and I also plan my food the day before. So I pretty much eat what I planned to eat.

I'm rubbish at this diary thing. I started off so well as well. Plus I woke this morning and felt guilty as I had eaten a 'totally planned for Indian out' I did everything I should have done and I used less syns in the week. I thought I bet I'm super fat after that curry. And weighed myself this...

Pod

Sat having a coffee waiting for husband to finish in the gym. A bit backwards as I should be in there! Work was a nightmare and I'm starting to feel bleugh. Sore throat, hot and tired. Moussaka for dinner tonight :)

I need to update. Weekend has been so busy... I'm sticking to plan 100% Apart from this morning....house is out of fruit. Didn't really want veg with brekkie. So I have porridge plain. Shopping this evening. I am really tempted to weigh myself. So I've been eating my brekkie before I shower lol

If I buy salmon I buy fresh usually but if its frozen I defrost it. So I have no experience of cooking it from frozen. I either steam it with veg at the bottom of the steamer and salmon at the top. Or I fry it in a pan with fry light. I tend to cook it plan as the OH can be fussy, then add...

I'm on day 5 today wow. So yesterday I was moaning my husband never cooks me anything. Then he's made me pancakes this morning. He tried.... To make magic pancakes. Now I've had these in the past and they were gross. Oats (hexb) 2 x egg Yogurt I think he whisked the white separate. So were...

I know how to syn sausages etc and can guess most things. But I'm struggling with this Chicken and Burgers. I have attached 2 photos: If anyone could help I would appreciate the input. I thought about syning the burger as 6 ( the same as a premium beef burger) and the chicken as 5?

Day 3 Hexa- Milk Breakfast 2 egg and spinach omlette Lunch Pasta'n'sauce (2) with mushrooms and broccoli Dinner Risotto and Salmon with butternut squash (hexb for olive oil) (2syns sauce) (I'm guessing 3 syns for homemade chicken stock) and green beans Snacks Banana, hoops and Crosses...

Yes I have scales....it's hard. I usually weigh everyday and my weight changes a lot. Before period I'm 3lbs heavier, from day to day I can go up or down 1lb. I find it changes my mood, especially if I'm on a diet plan. I sometimes get in the state of mind where I gain 1lb and think 'oh well...

Hi everyone!! I've set myself a 30 day challenge. Of course I won't stop after 30 days but I need something to work towards. Rules 1. Do not weigh myself for 30 days. This will be hard but I hate letting my weight determine my mood. 2. Water Water Water - I don't drink enough. So 8 glasses a...

Usually they are advertised at the gyms. They usually have a cheap block booking. So you could block book 4 sessions and see if you like it. I've only ever seen them advertised on the gym notice boards.

Wow! Never saw this. I use minimins on my iPhone. Stickys are on a separate page. Thanks

I got one of these as a wedding gift, not an actifry it's a Breville Halo. Does the same thing. So fat I have done chips ....chips.....chips....and mushrooms. I thought I'd get some proper use out of it. Does anyone have any good recipes?

That's great! Staying in control on a night out is hard

These sound interesting. Are they crunchy or soft?

I mainly have syn free meals as I cook from scratch. so I use my syns for snacks. Low calorie crisps , avocado, hot chocolate. That sort of thing :)

I work across the road from aldi. They have 5 veg on offer a week. So cheap . Worth a check

I'm doing it from home. I don't have a group nearby. This board is fab :)

What a brilliant post. Than you

Interesting. I don't remember reading this in my books. Could come in useful

I think they are both brilliant but it's about finding what suits your needs. I lost over 2 stone this year with weight watchers. But I want to try for a baby soon and don't want to count everything and weigh everything. You will get equal amount voting for each I would say

Great advice. Regarding muscle. It's not the weight it's the size. 1lb or muscle is smaller in size than 1lb of fat. After a workout often it's normal to weigh more as your body gains fluids to help recover the muscles you have used. This usually goes by the next day.

More food is always good news! I often plan a EE day...then notice I haven't eaten meat and I'm like mmm.... More food lol

Big difference! You look great!

You've done so well! Great work!

You've shrunk! Great work! Love purple dresses too!

Such a big difference. Congrats

You look great :) I like your dress in the 2nd photo.

I heard someone mentioned they pick some with a pack of options hot choc(any flavour) and some sweetener. As a chocolate mouse. Never tried it myself.

My brother uses it, he has given me log in and I think it is okay. Not too modern, you can't compare it to weight watchers or any other good tracking device. But there are a lot of articles and you can look up syn values.

Shopping list Sweet Potato Whole Chicken (to cook and use for lunches during the week) Tuna Pasta/Noodles Veg to make pasta sauce

I find lots of sources of cheaper veg/fruit such as buying it frozen or from the market rather than the supermarket. But eating healthy sure does cost more. I love summer as I have my own veg in the garden. Plus if you have friends who do the same you can do swaps.

I buy a box of 10 and in about a week me and husband have about 2 left :) Eggs are brilliant source of everything...apart from vitamin C
