Oh well, still worth it!

As the title says really (but not actually syn free as I've now found out!) I discovered this earlier this afternoon and just wondered why I hadn't heard of it sooner! All it takes is this... 1 mashed banana and 2 eggs... That's it! Whisk them all together and fry (with fry light) until cooked...

Thanks for your recent posts. I had it done just over a week ago and it completely traumatised me. I tried to explain but it was like yeah, yeah, we've seen all this before you'll be fine. I asked for both the spray and sedation but they said I can't have both so I chose the sedation. It did...

If I'm right, Flumps are 2 syns each? I'm under the impression that they are and I've been having some of these to satisfy my sweet craving. What's more, they're only 10p each!

I am thinking of taking up Zumba to increase my exercise but I'd be going on my own and I don't know anyone who's done it before. Although I am really still quite big, I am relatively active. I walk the dog most days and can do 5km without too much trouble. I am on my feet quite a bit doing...

I had mine removed in December 2013 and had to do a 2 week 800 calorie diet to shrink my liver too. I wasn't following SW then but I did my own plan of a small bowl of cereal with small amount of fruit, a small wrap/wartburton thin sandwich with a salad and a small low cal ready meal for tea...

Thanks MrsMcG for all the info, it's really helped seeing the experiences of someone who was fine with it! I've had my gallbladder out so I know about being gassy afterwards! My test is on 28th May and it's during half term so I won't be at work so can rest happily.

Thanks for the info green eyed monster, I really appreciate it and I've sent it to my dad for him to read through!

Yes, they did a routine test as I went to the doctors saying I was tired all the time. He wasn't expecting the coeliac antibodies to be so significant so he sent me for another one which still had the same results, so I was referred to my local hospital. Thanks for your replies though, I...

Hi all, I'm being investigated for coeliac disease (gluten intolerance) and I have been booked in for a gastroscopy so they can take some biopsies of my small bowel to test for coeliac. The thing is, I'm worrying myself sick over it. Whenever I think about it or do some research about it, I end...

I've never found them to be gritty or anything... hmm... it's a mystery!

Hi all, Thanks for all your help and advice. I'll tell him to mention it when he next goes. I'm doing SW online so don't have a consultant to ask for help or sheets etc. but we'll cope! Thanks again!

He's a man so no, he didn't ask her to elaborate, just nodded and said ok! All the meat we have is lean and any sugar in recipes etc is sweetener instead. We have 0% fat yoghurts and semi skimmed milk so I don't understand it either...

Me and my mum have been doing SW for 2 months now and each lost just under 1.5 stone. Although he eats his own breakfast and lunch as he is at work, my dad has been eating the SW tea with us and is happy with what we have. At weekends he also participates in our breakfast and lunch too. My dad...

I too am glad I am not the only one... I did try to make up for it by working super hard at work this morning though (I help at a cattery). I made sure everything was on the floor so I had to pick it up and bend down rather than having it at waist height and I cleaned extra-vigourously too! By...

Sorry to hear about that. You can build up strong bonds with people very easily in situations like meetings.

I always have the Mattesons turkey rashers instead of bacon as it tastes much nicer to me. Glad to know they're free!

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as I'd like to know what people say as I've recently been told that I need to be investigated for coeliac disease and I'm dreading being told that I have it to be honest... I love my bread and pasta etc. but I'm a meat eater so any help for me too would be...

Woohoo well done you! In my first 4 weeks I've lost 15lbs too!

I'd love to be able to run and have entered my very first 5k Race for Life (although I will be walking it!) but I'd still love to be able to run it one day...

Honk!

I have a wardrobeful of clothes which are the next size down or 2-3 sizes down and I can't wait to be able to nonchalantly pick them out, try them on and they actually fit! Well done for you though, hopefully I'll be joining you soon.

My main turning point was this: I am going to begin training for a dog grooming course and this required me to purchase a grooming top but when I looked on all the UK supplier websites, they only went up to a size 20-22 (far too small for me!!) so I had to eventually purchase from an American...

Honk again!!

So, can sparkling water affect weight loss then? How?

I thought I hadn't lost one week and I surprised myself with a 7lb loss! Don't worry, just wait till you weigh and see the numbers for real rather than speculating. You may be surprised.

HONK for yesterday and today!! :D

I've eaten at Nando's recently and found that it was wonderful. Yummy food with a jacket and corn and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything! Great!

After my WI on a Monday morning I always go shopping for the week's food and I make a point of buying myself one small thing (i.e. a chocolate bar or a biscuit (not a pack) or some other small treat). This keeps me sane and stops me from wanting to deviate during the week as I look forward to...

I really understand what you're going through here. I was at uni for 3 years recently and lived in halls of residence for the whole 3 years. I lived with strangers every year and most of the time they were men who probably never bought washing up liquid in their life. We were forever receiving...

This is my second week on SW with my mum and in our first week I lost 5lb and mum lost 4lb but this week I lost 7lb and she lost 8lb!!! Well done everyone! Let's keep it up! :D

I experience the same thing! Me and my mum are following the Extra Easy plan and the other day we had a 'fry-up' for breakfast (LF sausages, lean bacon, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms all fried with frylight and then loads of fruit afterwards (like a fruit salad)) and my dad said that surely that...

This excel tracker is just FANTASTIC! I am an IT graduate and not even I could comprehend making something as useful and informative as this! Thanks so much for all your hard work! :D

Hello, Thanks for your help, I'll have to have a go at making something on Publisher but I was wondering if anybody had already thought of this and designed their own on their computer that maybe I could use and personalise myself? If not, thanks for reading anyway!! :D

Hi all, I've recently started on Slimming World online and my mum is following the plan too and we've both achieved our first half stone award which is great! But, I wanted to know if there are any 'blank' half stone certificates out there which I can print off and write our names on and...
