This is a really interesting thread, I have spent most of the evening reading all the way through. There is still some conflict between what some people and others think and have been told, but essentially to win on this plan, get to love veg more. Find more and more interesting ways to eat...

I lost 1lb this week, it was my 2nd weigh in and I am over the moon. I lost 3lb in my first week and during last week I went through a really tough time family wise and drank about 250 syns!! (not at once) so to have lost anything I am so pleased. Congrats all of you for your losses too.

thanks emzyloo quite excited to back this evening, had a great week enjoying great food, probably drank too much but eat wonderfully.

Great thread, going for my 2nd weigh in today, and going to enjoy the class no matter what the results!

Thanks everyone for such a wide range of replies. Being in a circle of real ale drinkers and brewers and a great friend who makes real cider, since being on SW I have stuck to a bit of wine or mostly Vodka and coke, and have measured this so I can see how many syns have been consumed. BUT after...

Haven't tried this mushy pea curry but tempted to give it a go :)_:)

Welcome back. I've only been a member for a couple of weeks and lost 3lb in my first week.

I think for me SW is about eating normal food while being healthy and losing weight. Welcome to SW and let us know how you get on.

Fabulous all of you, a great thread. Really inspirational.

Seriously, I think I must be an alcoholic. Food wise I have really embraced SW and have found it quite easy to follow. But I can't seem to keep my syns to the required level and it's all because I love a drink!! Any tips?

Fab thread, it's very long though, I imagine this will take some time to sift through but I am happy to do so, great ideas!!

Hiya, I love roast and boiled beetroot and haven't really enjoyed the pickled sort but I am going to give it a try. I am on Slimming World at the moment have been for a week.

Mushy Pea Curry, seriously? Ok, you're going to have to sell this one to me........

Great read, lovely to see how you are progressing. Tell me, you eat a bit of beetroot and I love it but do you mean plain or pickled?

Hi Emsie, you should always just go to your GP if you suspect. Mine sent me for a fasting Blood Test which came back at 17.9 after not eating for 14 hours. I was put straight onto medication quite strong stuff, and then after some time managed to get my weight down and eat less carbs. But the...

Well done on a great healthy first week a great boost to your weight loss. You must feel fantastic. Once you settle in to your diet things would probably even out a bit I would imagine. I don't know much about a VLCD but sounds good to me. Best of luck.

Fab pics, well done you!! What an inspiration.

Fantastic well done, what a wonderful inspiration to us all, thanks for posting keep on going.

Hi Binge Eater, for me, eating a low carb plan is about simple healthy choices, meats, fish, dairy, and vegetables that grow above ground, those that grow below store more starches and raise blood sugars. Fruits limited to berries and melons. The only problem with low carbing for me, is eating...

Hi there, I'm new and looking forward to hearing about other peoples journeys and getting some inspiration and support for my own.

Hi Dietmad, I'm also T2 and have just started SW last night. I take quite a bit of medication but having followed a low carb plan for 6 months have not been able to bring my blood sugars low enough so am going to weight loss route now. Would be great to hear about your journey.

Nice recipe Lornameg, might have to try that myself. I'm new to this but getting loads of inspiration.

Hi Big Mamma, just joined here today, quite exciting to read your posts and see what others are eating on this plan. Best of luck with your journey.

Ouch first post and my stats are visible to the world!! Didn't realise that would happen, then again it's all out there now nothing to hide, yes I am over 17 stone, but hopefully not for much longer. Looking forward to sharing some tasty ideas with you all.

Hello all, been thinking about joining SW for a while and was at my first meeting last night. Have done quite a bit of research online over the last week or so, and this place keeps coming up with answers I am after so I thought I would join in and stay for a while. Nice to meet you all. Sally Bee
