Thanks for the tip! I can now skip that extra step and wash up one less pan :D

Aha I kept reading this everywhere and was so confused! As I've not joined a slimming world group yet I thought it was just some special slimming week! :p Thanks for the information though :)

That's a good idea, I think I might do that instead :)

What the hell! I was just about to go and make a pie...52 syns per sheet?!?!?!?! That's ridiculous :O

Ooo please let us know your recipes!! I'd love to know the one for the cheesy mushroom pasta :) also, is that £200 budget just of you and your hubby?

thank you for this advice. i'm also completely crap at at menu planning so will definitely be using a few of your tricks :)

This sounds like the answer to my prayers! A buttery jacket potato at last!! :)

I hope it's not that much!!! I thought it was 1.5 syns?

Why would you deep fry a jacket potato anyways :s

You could try success express where you fill 2/3 of your plate with super free and make all of your snacks super free. There's a good post in the forum about it here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/200528-success-express.html

Also has anyone had any hunger issues on this plan?

How often should you do success express? Because it must be really low calorie?

Mmmm that looks yummy! If I can have something like this on success express I'm in!

Is it bad to not use your syns up and use quite a few on one night? Is this flex-synning? Should this be kept to a minimum and instead use the syns and not save them?

What size weights would you guys recommend using for someone who has never worked out before?

Woah you've had some amazing losses! Keep up the good work :) I'm thinking of doing the 30-day shred soon but was wondering what size weights you'd recommend using? I'm a complete beginner and seriously unfit! :L

Do you attribute your PCOS to your weight? Because I definitely feel as my weights increased my symptoms have too (hair, irregular periods, acne). My Dr told me that apparently they think around 1 in 4 women have PCOS but are undiagnosed because their symptoms barely affect them which gave me...

Thank you for your reply! :) Sorry it's taken me a couple of days to get back to you but I always manage to get caught up in something! Oh tell me about it! My dogs eat anything small they find on the floor...their favourites: stuffing from teddy bears (which they rip apart) and hair bands! :p...

Thank you very much! :)

Oooo thank you for this I've been looking for the syn value for the thai basil and lemongrass sauce for ages!

That's a great idea! Then you're not swayed by the scales! I used to constantly weigh myself all the time and it was awful...my weight fluctuates pretty wildly throughout the day...I've limited myself to once a week but I might see if I can try this 100 day challenge myself! :) Good luck claire! xxx

Thank you for saying hello! :) I can't believe how lovely and friendly everyone on here is! I feel blessed! Thank you for your concern about my dog, he's doing well now, no idea what was wrong in the end...probably some dodgy chicken! :P I have two jack russells: Sidney and Max...they are...

I don't know how you even tried a vlcd! I think I'd pass out! :P I can definitely see why you'd want to give it a go though....I'm always wanting a quick fix too...it's hard to get it in my head that it's going to take a long time if I want it to actually last! That's a good plan...you're right...

Okay so I've been a bit lackadaisical with posting on here (I've only done one diary day :p) but I have been keeping track of my food and exercise on myfitnesspal (the best app ever!!!) So luckily for me it should be easy enough to catch up! Tuesday 28th January 2014 Breakfast: Kellog's...

Is that syns for using the whole pot? Since the whole pot is actually for 4 people so divided by 4 that's just over 1/2 a syn each! Also, they're delicious! :)

Hey Claire! Thanks for subscribing! I've been so busy this past week since my dog has been poorly but I'm committed to posting from now on! I've not joined a group but I'm weighing myself for the first time today so I'm super excited to see how much I've lost! :) You are so right about...

I don't know if I didn't make it properly, but mine tasted like chocolate scrambled egg! I couldn't seem to get the egg and options to mix :/

Seriously well done! You look like a completely different person and so much happier in yourself! It's people like you that make me believe I can do this too! You're an inspiration to the rest of us :) keep it up! X

I can't believe the difference in you!! You look amazing! 8 stone such a huge amount to lose and to still keep on going -wow ! You're obviously very committed and have a ton of will power! Keep up the fantastic work! X

Congratulations on your loss!! That's amazing considering you went out so well done! I've been trying to go running but I really hate it...so how would you rate 30 day shred as an exercise program? How long do you have to do it a day and what types of exercises are there? X

How do you make vegetarian haggis?! That sounds amazing! Xxx

By the way was meant to also say well done for joining a gym and keeping a schedule! Wish I had the will power to do it!

I know exactly what you mean about being in a dip! I can't seem to pull myself out either :/ do you have any tips for being more positive? Feeling negative just makes me want to binge eat :(

Sorry I'm really new to this, still trying to work everything out aha :L Oh my gosh 500 posts? I've got a while to go then! Why that many? I thought it only had to be 50? Thanks for replying to me btw :) xxx

thanks for this! they are my absolute favourite and i thought the syn values would be way too high but they're not! woohoo! :D

Hi tamkat! :) Thanks so much for writing back! It's so lovely hearing advice from someone in the same predicament as me (and with really similar stats!). Yeah I always end up binging :/ Definitely going to give the mikados a go! :) Well done on nearly losing a stone, you've done it so quickly...

Hi everyone! :o I'm Catie (a serial dieter) trying out Slimming World for the first time. After seeing so many successful weight-loss journeys as a result of Slimming World and considering how yummy all the recipes that I've come across look (I can't believe you can make syn-free chips! :eek:)...
