    Hiya ariellookalike 4.5 lbs is amazing, especially when you're not too far off your goal weight. You are a similar height to me too :) Fellow tall foodie! I still have at least 8 stones to go so I'm glad I've had a positive start.

    Thursday 23rd January 2014 I did it!!!! I went along to a class and faced the scales :) I was very nervous but the group seems lovely and non-judgemental. I was so worried I'd be the biggest person there. Downside-the scales are 2lb heavier than the ones I have at home :( Well, I guess it...

    Ryvitas

    EEk I thought they were! I'm bumping this because you can have most other ryvitas as HEX b, and there is not much difference in calorie/fibre levels. For example Black pepper is 1.6g of fibre and you are allowed 3 of those, but Herbs is 1.4g and these aren't included?? I would like to know...

    My target according to THE graph means I'll still be overweight

    @ Stivesliz- I totally agree, play it by ear. If you look and feel wonderful at 12 stones then stop there. So long as you are physically healthy, stay active and continue to eat good foods through maintenance then you shouldn't feel you have to go under a certain BMI number. One weight on one...

    That would work fine :) I used the recipe from the Hairy Bikers curry book (with a few SW friendly tweaks) and the whole/halved chillis are in there for heat but obviously not for chomping on.
