Well I had my first SP day yesterday. It was ok, better than I expected (I LOVE my carbs). I had a boiled egg & salad sandwich for breakfast (laughing cow extra light instead of butter) (hex a & b) plus melon and raspberries when I got in to work. I then had turkey meatballs and salad for...

Also, I used half vanilla yoghurt and half the vanilla ones with chocolate sprinkles in...

Yeah I made the whole thing and split it into 5 little pots! It was way too much though. I'm going to end up throwing some of it away so definitely a good idea to make less!

Can anyone tell me if I can have sweet potato on SP? I forgot my books and am going shopping on my way home? Or butternut squash?

I had a go at making the lemon cheesecake in the most recent issue of the magazine. I have to say I really liked it. I don't usually bother with making sweet things even when not on Slimming World. This was worth the effort though!

Ohhh that looks nice! Do you have the recipe ?

hex b - toasted pine nuts hex a - feta cheese gonna sprinkle both over my asparagus this evening :)

Hi guys, This thread has really inspired me. I’m going to give it go! I’ve been reading through this thread but admittedly haven’t read every page. I want to do an SP week next week (from tomorrow after weigh in). Am I right in saying that my usual afternoon Muller Light will have to go...

Oh I know where the forum is, I just wondered if anyone could tell me if it was a similar thing to paleo?

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone knows much about The South Beach diet? It seems to me to be very paleo based, is there anyone here who knows enough about both who could let me know so I can have a nose through your recipes? Thanks :)

Hi Loubee, There aren't a lot of people round here doing it! FYI though I have found a lot of recipes here: http://www.kalynskitchen.com and also more people doing this diet here: South Beach Diet - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community x

It is very quiet in here! I have been spending time in the Slimming World forum which is very busy but have recently decided to switch to SBD. It doesn't look like their's much support around for it! LOL!

Ohhhh reading this is making me feel extra motivated! Especially about you saying about your energy levels xena - I am also constantly consuming a lot of caffeine . I have recently bought myself the South Beach Diet Supercharged book and finding it really interesting reading and I plan to...

Hi guys, Having recently become really disheartened with the whole yo-yo dieting that seems to be the way of things for me I have decided to try something else. I had a little read of the top ten diets on the NHS website to see if there was something out there that might suit me better and...

I don't know what it was about the south beach diet that appealed but I read about each of the top ten and something about that one rang a bell with me. I've downloaded a sample of the book so gonna have a read up on it and maybe give it a go Sent from my KFTT using MiniMins.com mobile app

If you find it can you share a bit with me? :p

I have gone off the bl00dy rails again :break_diet: You know over all the years for whatever reason I don't seem able to stick to the diet. I know Slimming World well and always go back to it because it's easy to work out what I can and can't have in my head. I'm now the heaviest I've ever...

I think this makes a HUGE difference!

It is hard with some much yummy food around at this time of year! I've said it on another thread but I'm going to batch make some SW "party foods" to freeze - KFC chicken, melt in the middle meatballs and mini fishcakes! I'm hoping that will help. Unfortunately I don't think I can make...

This is brilliant! http://www.businessinsider.com.au/before-and-after-weight-loss-exposed-2013-8

Honk but I want to be bad (but haven't) :p

Arggghhhhh! I could murder a stuffed crust pizza. Instead I am going to make myself fish cakes, chips and peas I think. This is the 2nd day now I've wanted to eat a pizza but I was SO pleased with myself last night when I didn't and was full up on my SW Thai curry I had made instead so going...

Oh go on then :p

For the melt in the middle meatballs I get some extra lean mince and put it in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and I usually chop up a red chilli and put that in the bowl too and add a beaten egg and mix it all together. I then take little bits of the mince and roll it all into tiny balls...

You are SO very kind! I love it, it's gorgeous! I have messaged you :love:

Ohhhhh I'll look those ones up - thanks! Eating in the light of the moon has some good reviews on amazon but I can't get in to it. Gonna see what these two are like. It's handy being able to download samples of books on your kindle!

I am going to have a look on eBay tonight :)

I haven't looked on eBay but I am REALLY strapped for cash at the moment (like everyone else I suppose!). I'm a 16. I should have a look around the charity shops, I could probably put £10/£15 aside for a dress...

Also, I do like getting the hi fi bars from group!

This is the book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eating-Light-Moon-Anita-Johnston/dp/1559723327

Has anyone read this book? It's been recommended to me by a friend. I have found it hard to get going with and wondered if anyone else had read it and if you think it's worth persevering with? I'd be interested in other people's thoughts...

I haven't got any nice dresses that I can fit into and I can't afford to buy a new one either :'(

I always massively crave chocolate. And it's only at that time of the month, the rest of the month I am happy without it. I usually try and have a syn free day and then have a galaxy ripple for 9 syns in the evening!

I have a mug shot in the day if I fancy something! Or an apple. For the Xmas period I've decided I'm going to make myself a load of low syn or free snacks in advance and keep them in the fridge. That way it will save me going for the more naughty snacks! I'm going to make a big batch of...

I have to agree with this, I think going to group would be much better for me if there wasn't so much of this going on. The group I went to was huge so image therapy lasted for AGES! Now I just do it at home. Although having heard what some of the others have said I might be tempted to rejoin...

I did this with turkey instead of chicken at the weekend (because that as the cheaper option) and actually thought it tasted better!

Too many then :p Thanks for letting me know, much appreciated!

Anyone? :confused:

I had a go at the pizza, the cauliflower base one. I don't think I cooked the base long enough because It didn't hold brilliantly in all places. I should have taken a picture! Gonna try the potatoes one next time. I did myself a "take away" on Friday night, pizza, SW KFC, SW breaded...

Hi Kay, That is what's great about this site. You are all very helpful :D xx

Wow! You lot are great! Thanks so much, I might even give this a go tonight! Friday night is a perfect night to try pizza out don't you think? Thanks guys :D :D :D

So do you just make up the smash and then shape it into a pizza base shape? Sounds like it would all fall apart?!?!?!?

Thanks so much! What do you use instead of butter to make garlic bread? Sounds amazing!

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction for the recipe or tell me how to make it? Thanks!

There are some amazing ideas here!!!!

Mind you 25ml would be a very small glass wouldn't it! I could top it up with my hexa milk. I often just eat a piece of cheese just for the sake of it to have a hexa!

Thank you for looking for me!!!!! I wonder if I put the nutritional info up later someone could put it into the calculator for me instead just in case there's a major difference?! If it is 4 syns for a small glass I will be happy with that for a little treat!

I drank this yesterday! I seem to remember someone saying something about 1 syn for every 20 calories - is that right? I would still be interested if anyone can tell me how many syns are in this because I have another one at home...

Hi guys, Anyone know how many syns in a 50ml glass of this? It tastes just as lovely as Baileys and is only £4 a bottle. This is my favourite treat for this time of year and I wondered if anyone knew how many syns there were in a glass?

I've searched the site and can only find people putting up the light version of this drink Anyone know how many syns in a normal non diet one of these is? I have one sitting in front of me that I am dying to drink but don't want to have it without knowing the cost! Nutrition info is per 100ml...

You wont believe the difference, they're so nice!

Ohhh that sounds nice! I mixed them in with a chilli I made yesterday and that was yum.

Wow - these are delicious! Definitely worth 1.5 syns each. I had three last night with sw chips and mushy peas, it felt like a really "naughty" dinner!

Love this thread!!!!

I'm confused now - one person says SW app says 7 syns and another says free! LOL! I've stopped eating them to be on the safe sfde and will go and buy some that I know for sure are free at the weekend! Having looked at the ingredients for the Lidl mackerel it does say that it has sugar in it so...

I just finished my bottle of fry light and was making some chips so I just put some oil in the bottle and spayed that on them so that I at least wasn't using loads of oil. I wonder, any idea what sort of mix it is between oil and water? I only put a bit of oil in the bottle but wonder if...

Don't you just love it when it's FRIDAY TOMORROW!

I have searched the site and can't seem to find an answer - this is the closest thread I can find. I'm assuming there are no free cup a soups out there for SW peeps? Seems crazy to me that mug shots are free but there aren't any cup a soups?

SO MEAN! Although to be fair I did look and I did read!

Thanks for this! I'll give it a go at the weekend!

Even more annoying is the fact I've got about 10 tins in my cupboard! LOL! :booboo::doh:

That's why I assumed they would be. I thought my weight loss had been slow - if I've been having an extra 7 syns a day then this could be why?!!!

Nooooooooo! Really!?!?!?? I'm not a member of SW so couldn't check myself. I've been eating them for lunch every day thinking they were free :cry::eek: I wonder if you would mind checking the Lidl sardines for me please? The brand is Nixe...

Ohhhhh sounds good! Is it on youtube?

Hmmmm, might trying upping my water intake if it makes you snack less!

celery :yuk: I love hummus though, how is that for syns?

I sometimes have boiled eggs too but usually only if I can be bothered to do them the night before, don't know why it's never occurred to me to do enough for the whole week in one go! I'll be doing that from now on! I've also this week made some sugar free jelly and put it into these small...

Puts it all into perspective a bit for me, makes what I need to do seem like nothing and has really given me confidence in being able to do it :)

Ohhh I hadn't thought about pickled eggs! I should try and snack less really but I am snacking on things like fruit which is a lot better than the chocolate bars I used to ea~!

What's 30 day shred?

I'd like to lose my first stone by Christmas, that's my challenge.

WOW!!!! That looks insane! How's everyone doing?

Christmas pudding Hi-Fi bar for B, not decided on A yet!

Good luck!

suitcase

Can you put me down for 7 please? Thanks :)

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Annoying isn't it!

I have a drawer full of mug shots, seafood sticks in the fridge and bananas and apples on my desk but would love some other ideas for a bit of variety!

HONK :D

Not sure how the list things works? Forgive me foe being dumb! My target isw to do 3 x 45 minute work out at the gym each week. Did one on Monday, another tonight!

It's Wednesday and the weekend is in sight! :-P

WOW! That's amazing! Well done! :D

Good to hear you sounding positive, well done. It's you time now x

your car runs out of screen-wash :-P

I don't know if I'm really late to coming to this or not but this 5 minute video is really inspirational! I was just craving some chocolate but after watching this I no longer feel the need to eat it :) One mans 120 pound journey - YouTube

The only problem with these is you have one and then you want another 3! :-P

Thanks hun! Yeah the gym is much easier. My skin looks so much better too. Not only that but I generally just feel more positive about things, it's all good :)

Pleasure :-)

I've got about 5 packs in my cupboard!! I stocked up as soon as I realised how low in syns they are - agreed, they are well worth the syns!

Well said!!!

2.5 each :-)

Oops! That's the danger with all things yum around me!

These are a God send! Yay! I like to peel off the wafers and then eat the middle. The middle on it's own tastes really sweet and naughty! Nom nom nom :-)

Hmmm, think I might make this tonight!

I'm on day 8 and still going strong :) I haven't been as good on my diet as I could have been but have compensated by going to the gym if I have been naughty (i.e. had a Chinese on Friday did an hour in the gym Saturday) and have stayed the same this week which I'm pleased about. I figure I...

A friend bought me a pack - just had one, they are YUM!

Good point! Thanks hun x

Good luck!

Yeah I'm feeling "in the zone" so I think it is a blessing doing both together. Not using any NRT, I find the thought of it quite contradictory. Especially since it only takes a few days to leave the system. I have tried it in the past and it made me feel funny so I'm on the will power!

Thanks Sparty! I have the support pack and the app on my phone. I've given up for a week before many times here and there but I never seem to have been able to make it last more than a week or two before. I think the Stoptober thing is great because lots of people are doing it so there's lots...

Hi guys, I'm doing Stobtober! Day two and so far so good. I'm a bit nervous because I've also just started back on the Slimming World (probably bad move trying to do both at once but I am determined on both fronts!). Just wondered if anyone else was doing it and if so how you felt? My plan...

I am definitely going to try this at the weekend!

I think those Milbona yoghurts are nicer than muller lights! :greenapple:

Do you melt them in to your soup?

That is SO useful that I have saved it! I've bought loads of these to keep in my desk drawer including the Thai and the Chicken ones thinking they were free - I (wrongly) assumed it was just the cheesy ones that had syns! Oh well, at least they are still really low syns!

Thanks Emma, the Tesco ones are too so I'm going with free :D

Wrapping ham round them sounds like a handy little snack for work!

Thanks very much, lots of great ideas. I love a lasagne so that's a useful one although I imagine that being quite messy to make using cheese triangles! I might have a go at making myself a couple of mini individual lasagne's and using those as the white sauce! Also liking the melt in the...

Ohhh I like the idea of using them as butter in sandwiches!

I thought this would have been asked before but I have searched the site and can't seem to find it (I am new though so maybe my search skills aren't up to scratch!) Does anyone know if the Lidl tins of mackerel in tomato sauce are free? I used to buy the Tesco ones but am on a seriously tight...

My next goal is my first goal (well, this time round anyway) as I've just started up again! So, right now my goal is the first half a stone...

Hi guys, I was wondering if I could have your thoughts on laughing cows? I'm back on the SW diet again and use the laughing cow lights as my hexa but I always end up just unwrapping them and eating them straight from the packet when I'm sure there must be something more interesting I can do...

That's handy to know! I've got my most recent batch from Morrisons - 50p each. But 3 for £1 is much better, I think they're great for keeping in my drawer at work for those moments when there are cakes going round the office and I feel like I want something!

I hope this offer is still on at the weekend! That's the only chance I'll have to get into town!

Hi guys, I'm new around here! I've started SW this week and am at 12.5 stone at the moment. My ideal weight is 10 stone although I've set my target as 10.5, I'll be happy if I can get to that! But my first mini target is to get into the 11s :)

This sounds amazing! Have you tried it?

Hi all, I'm looking to lose 2 stone. I have been putting off going back on the Slimming World because I couldn't afford the cost of going to group every week. Then I realised I was being silly, just because I can't afford to go to group doesn't mean I have to keep on eating rubbish! So I'm...

This looks great!
