Awesome! Nice to have you on board!! How's second week going for you?? Xx

OMG I know! I love dried apricots and read they could be used as fibre healthy extra and now I'm addicted to eating them but they're awful for syns xx

omg that is ridiculous. I didn't expect anything like that.. :( boo hoo. also thanks. :')

Also, bought some raisins yesterday when I went shopping. Do these hold a syn value?? xx

WI at 14.6 this morning! down three pounds so had a biscuit to celebrate. :bliss:

So yesterday was another really good day, similar food again but then I was so so craving chocolate. Ended up eating loads of mango and other fruits instead. It just isn't the same but I was very very happy when I got weighed this morning and saw 14.6 on the scales!! woohoo very pleased. xx

Well done on the weight loss, going in the right direction. Nice one!! xx

Also, on a side note. I havent stopped going to the toilet and passing wind today. whats wrong with me??

Didn't update yesterday so I'll do it now, had a good day with porridge for breakfast, salad for lunch and then spag bol for my dinner. It was a syn free day so I was happy, especially considering my slip up with the chocolate the other night. Got weighed this morning and I'd lost a pound so I...

Good to hear you enjoyed your group!! :) wi went well then?? xx

I've been sneaky weighing myself and I've not lost half as much as I thought I would have, first time doing SW I shed eight pounds in my first week and this time round it's just not budging?? not doing anything different, if anything I'm being even less naughty. xx

This is a good idea, I am currently sat in bed with my 2 litre bottle next to me and it looks so dauntingly huge. xx

Shame to say I've gone about off course today abit with my chocolate consumption. Should be okay because I have got quite a lot of syns saved up from this week but still.. feeling very naughty. Breakfast -- porridge. Not had porridge on the plan so far but really enjoyed it for a change and was...

Deffo used all my syns today in chocolate so that shouldn't be a problem for this week, gonna get weighed in the morning and pray for not too much damage. Still can't get my head round being allowed chocolate. xx

Ooh, nice to meet you. :) xx

Another good day then, I'm trying to up my water intake to 3 litres, how do you do it?? I just have a big bottle of water I try to drink from all day until I'm done but it's just not working for me.

I've had the sweet chilli noodles before I was on SW and wouldn't have guessed they had such a lovely low syn value. Good to know in case I visit anytime soon, it's **** when a diet stops you eating out. Sounds like another good days eating anyway! keep it up babe. :) xx

that's still a really good low syn snack. I love jelly. :) xx

Another good day of eating really today. Breakfast -- 1 x banana and 1 x muller light yoghurt. Lunch -- Salad (pasta, sweetcorn, ham, cucumber.) and light mayo (1.5 syns) Mugshot (syn free) Dinner -- lettuce, cucumber, piece of chicken breast and cottage cheese and light mayo (1.5 syns) no...

For lunch I normally have jacket potato, with cottage cheese or baked beans. This is dead easy so can't go wrong with it. Sometimes I have some chicken breast and salad. Or pasta and tuna or a mugshot if I'm busy at work. :)

Loving the motivational ideas, I've got a bikini photo stuck to the fridge ahahah. xx

woohoo! good for you, hope you enjoyed your wispa, last night I treated myself to a curly wurly and it was amazing. xx

Meals are looking good so far, well done on using your syns within your meals. I keep struggling to use them and end up going days syn-free and that's not good because they're in the plan for a reason but I always worry if I let myself have some syns I wont be able to stop and I'll end up...

I just couldn't deal with the image bit in the group, it just all seems too cringey for me. Hated all the clapping and stuff so I totally see where you are coming from. Once you know the plan you can google the syn value of almost anything or ask it on here so going to group just to get weighed...

It's nice to have a milestone to look forward to, like wanting to be slim for your 50th. Think it makes it so much more motivating. Nice to meet you, good luck!! xx

I like the idea of only getting weighed every few weeks, this deffo takes a bit of the pressure off thinking you need to see a loss every time you step on the scales. I am a self-confessed scales addict and can't walk past them without getting on them. Good luck hun :) xx

This is same as me!! lost over a stone last year and then slammed it back on again in the blink of an eye and here I am again wanting to shed it for good. we can do this. xx

I'm sure you will be able to shake your stone back off, let us know how you find being in a group compared to doing it solo online?? would be really interested in how you find the change. xx

Think this is brill advice, I'm wanting to start doing some weight lifting just not sure where to begin. xx

Good luck to you!! I look forward to hearing about the progress of your journey xx

Congrats on your lovely baby. Good luck with the weight loss mission.

Not sure sugar free jelly is free?? Think it needs to be synned but it's only really low. like half a syn or a syn. xx

Well done you, taking control of your weight once again. Good stuff!! It's a good idea to take it slow and not expect too much too soon x

I go through the phases of, oh god I don't care if I'm fat. and then in the same breathe I can think, oh god I'm so fat no one will ever care about me. A lot of the time to avoid ruining a good day can be to have a cup of tea like that and then sit for a while and let it settle. Just sit...

I've just been doing it online, I know the plan well from books and then if I need to know syn values I can google anything. I was going to do group but I don't think it would have been any use to me. Things like Image Therapy or whatever it's called sound like the most cringey thing ever. Just...

cockwomble oh god hahaha. can't stop laughing at that.

2.5 syns isn't bad!! love finding out these little hidden gem ideas. xx

Congrats on your weight loss, I love getting on the scales and seeing some progress. Hope it keeps going well for you :) x

Going quite well then!! good luck babe, looking forward to seeing your progress. :) xx

and with that said I've gone down and got myself a curly wurly for tonight!!

Good luck babe. Had a read through and I love the idea of taking a little pot of fruit into the cinema with yourself. I'm an avid cinema fan today and went empty handed and it was so hard, all I wanted was a slushie. :( xx

Good luck!! you can do this xx

Heeeyyy, glad to hear it's going well so far. I'm on day 4 and I haven't been using my syns whatsoever and I never even thought about it like if I get stuck then what will I pull back on so that was really useful. Looking forward to following your online diary and I agree, you may as well be as...

This online community is as good a support group as any sw group could be! At least you didn't put all of it back on like you said and I feel your pain of snacking on a night, thats when I can't control myself and it gets abit out of hand. It's nice when you can see results already though, thats...

Wow, what an inspiration, after beating cancer this should be a walk in the park!! :) looking forward to following your progress. Good luck xx

Anything is going to help you lose weights, maybe a nice easy way to exercise would be to just start with a short walk every day. Try and make it into a bit of a daily routine for you?? and then if you want to go for something more try a run a day or every other day. I always feel better after...

Breakfast -- 2 Satsumas & cup of black tea. Lunch -- Jacket Potatoe with Baked beans Dinner - Massive bowl of spaghetti and bol, just extra lean mince and some tomatos, plain but thats how i like my food. all syn free. Snacks -- 1 x muller light yoghurt, 1 satsuma. Another syn free day. Been...

Yeah haha, a lot of my work colleagues go to group and all I've heard about the image part and it's so cringeworthy. Anything you need to know you can google. I'm doing ee at the moment because it seemed the easiest to follow alone, and it's been working nicely so far but if it slows down I...

Hahaha, it's awful when it hits you that you're not looking how you wanna be. I'm sure you will be fine at WI. Good luck, stay in touch and let us know your progress babe. x

You can do it!! it's so easy to creep back on, such a slippery slope. I'm just doing it at home, you can find everything you need to know online and minimins in particular so I don't see why not. I bought some of the books off ebay last year so I've got those as well. Do you do the same?? xx

I am loving SW!! so much yummy food to eat and not even feel naughty about it, it's brilliant for me because I love pasta so it's nice being able to eat it and not feel bad about it. Did it briefly last year and did well on it but then put it all back on, boo hoo. So I'm back on it for 2014 and...

I love bananas!!

Shocked me too, what a shame. :(

I dread to think!! they're only like a little slice of pastry with some jam and icing on. It's ridiculous. Might try my hand at making my own low-syn ones. hahah x

WI is tuesday for me. So nervous ahah. x

Oh God!! for just a little pop tart :( heartbreaking. Thanks steph1212 :( I might have to skip those then xx

Oooh wedding planning, how exciting. It's going alright so far, been a good girl for the week or so. I'm doing it from home and just been following slimming world online. You can find nearly everything you need to know on these forums so why not. I joined last year and did really well but then...

Hahaha, that is very good. I am guzzling water like it is going out of fashion at the moment, really want a good first week on it. x

I'm alright thank you, how are you?? hows the diet going so far this year??

Oooh a warm welcome, thanks guys!!

Hello Mini Mins!! My name is Francesca and I am on a mission this year to sort myself out and get skinny. Eager to be slimmer for my 21st. Never really noticed how out of hand my weight had gotten until I saw a photograph someone had taken of me. Would be nice if someone wanted to join me on...

WI today at 14.9, hoping to have a really good month and get into the 13's. Also doing an alcohol free month so theres that at least. :)

Like anything else, you can have too much of a good thing. But two is probably alright lol. xx

Everything on your food seems alright, not your time of the month coming up or anything?? How about drinking more water so you can get rid of any water you're retaining. you probably already know all this. Good Luck, hope you see a loss next time you get weighed if you keep being good. :) x

Hello! I'm 20, 21 in March and would be interested in making friends with similar plans. xx

Hiya, I am also doing the plan from home, bought a few of the books from ebay. But mostly anything you need to know can be found on here or also a lot of people I work with are group members. Just hoping I can get some of this weight off!!

35g :):)

Hiya, going it alone but following the slimming world plan online. Never really worried about my weight and it seems to have really gotten out of hand when I saw a photo my boyfriend had taken of me and was shocked. So I'm on it like a car bonnet and plan on losing. Looking forward to being...

This is really inspiring! Well done :)

Can definitely see a difference!! well done, you. xx

well done, you are looking amazing. it's ridiculous how much younger you look now!! keep it up. x

Well done!! you're looking fab x

This is amazing, having just started and being a size 16 this is very inspiring. :) xx

Bit of a different one but they are my complete weak spot. How synful are these bad boys??

Yes, I think so. :)

Hello, I am new to slimming world but I work for Marks & Spencer, wondering what in the count on us range is like for syn values. I know a lot of the yoghurts are but would like to know about anything else. :) :o
