OP do you know any other free juice, I'm really missing fruit juice, I doubt there's a free orange juice. It's the only way I will eat fresh orange, as I love the juice but hate the texture of oranges and stuff. CJ

I can't plan my meals in advance to save my life. I'm useless at planning. I tend to batch cook as I live alone and freeze things like chilli, curries, and soups. Every week I try to plan around my shifts, but it never quite works out. Say I fancy chicken and I'm on earlies I always forget to...

Home made syn free spicey chicken goujons, with egg fried rice, peas, mushrooms peppers and onions.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I don't mind my work mates sampling my food because it means I am making something different that they wish to try and if they like it I give them the recipe. It just happened that one day there were more people in the office than usual. I know I could have told...

I love About Time its Richard Curtis film. I watched it a few days after my Grandpa passed away and cried my eyes out. The Book Theif won't be out yet I found it similar to The Boy in The Striped PJ's about young children in Nazi Germany. It has just finished in the cinemas. CJ

I tend to do 12 minutes a day so far. 6 to the right and 6 to the left. Im trying to build up minute by minute :D

Are there any fans of Anime, Manga and Foreign Films? I love watching Japanese horror, Swedish horror and Korean horror. I actully find them creepier than most English/ American horror films. CJ

Green Mile, The Book Thief and About Time. I love all three of these films. CJ

I tend to have some of my super free as fruit before or after eating the main. I count this towards my super free I know this isn't what SW means by 1/3 plate, but I'm still getting my super free in. It doesn't seem to affect my losses. CJ

Well Done! :D CJ

Does anyone else take any nice Slimming world friendly food to work and then thief work mates all want to try it? Or am I too nice letting them try my food? Yesterday I took the last of my chickpea loaf and they ate it all!!:eek: I didn't get any. I ended up making more today because some or the...

I love my hula hoop and try to do it every day. The only days I don't manage it are when I stay with my OH. I'm debating buying another one to leave at his house. :D CJ

I'm having a bacon and mushroom omelette, which i haven't had for ages with a side salad :p

I may have to take a trip to B&m worth a try for 40p. CJ

After a few cups of the salted caramel I have made a decision and I quite like it. It tastes smooth. CJ

Hi everyone I'm after a bit of advice. I'm thinking about giving the red plan a try for a week to see if I can become more organised. Does anyone do just red days what do you think about them? Is it worth trying? I'm going to have a look through my book when I get home to try and understand it...

Hi Does anyone else Hula Hoop for fitness? I have been doing 2x6 minutes at least 6 days a week and I love it. I purchased a Hula DVD but its not very good as you need a lot of space. What do other people think about Hula Hooping? CJ

I'm going to get my first tattoo when I'm at target :) it is a promise I have made to myself. I'm no where near yet.

I tried the gingerbread Green Tea and I love it, almost as much as the butter mint. I also brought the Salted caramel, and I can't quite make up my mind on that one, I will have to keep trying it. CJ

It is nice. I made some for my group the other day and they loved it. CJ

This is the first time I have posted this on an anonymous forum for others to read. Last year I lost my Granddad in August after a long battle with Cancer. I had been studying Creative Writing up until last April when it became too much, working full time, studying part time, and helping out...

I'm slowly working my way through My Pile Of Shame. In March I decided I wanted to write down every book I have read in the year. I'm currently on the 10th since the start of march. I am Reading The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson. Its the first book in a series, and I'm really enjoying it...

Thank you for your reply. Normally if i'm working early, late, early I would skip the late week, as this works for me like the lady in your group. However I had to swap the middle week which would have been earlies to lates so it ended up 3 weeks of lates. I really didn't want to miss 3 weeks...

I always have passata in the house. I get the value stuff and i use it for curries, spag bol, lasagna, anything that has a tomato base. i tend to use it instead of a tin of tomatoes as the OH doesn't like tomato chunks in stuff. Then there beans, mushy peas, and loads of frozen veg (not as...

So I have been doing SW for about 20 weeks now, and the last 2 weeks I have stayed the Same :sigh:. So I have given myself a kick up the butt and I am going to write down everything I eat as i have become quite lapse in doing my food diary. I'm hoping this will get me back on track. I also set...

I'm the same with chocolate, so what I tend to do is put an options hot chocolate sachet in a tub of quark (add a little sweetener) or fromage frais and mix it into a smooth consistency, then dip fruit in it. If I have the syns i will also make a small alpen bar chocolate cheesecake. the only...

I tend to do All Day Breakfast fried rice, which went down quite well at my last taster, the time before I did a chow mein. I never make loads just enough for two and then take plastic cutlery. Its something different for people to try. CJ

Yesterdays Pulled Pork with a jacket potato and fruit salad yum

Right I'm slightly nervous about the next few weeks. Normally I weigh in on a Monday night. I work shifts and if I'm working the lates that week I won't go to group and get put down as shift worker. Which I don't mind. However the next 3 mondays I'm working Lates so I can't get to my normal...

I read some where that if you only do the one way then the muscle on the unused side aren't getting the same work out. So I try and do one day one way and the next day the other. My group noticed a difference in my shape after a week. I will get my tummy toned. CJ

I may have to get the Gingerbread one and the salted caramel. Are they both only avaliable at tesco? I also love the Butter Mint one.

Yes the bruising has gone down. It doesn't seem to ache as much when i do it either. I have to remember to do it both ways though x Sent from my LT30p using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks for your help. I know what you mean by bruised hips and waist, but it is good fun :D i used to love doing it when i was a kid. CJ

I love doing a curry in mine. I also recommend the pulled Pork, that is amazing.

Soo I have my weigh in tonight and fingers crossed I get my stone and a half. This week I set myself a mini challenge, to do 10 minutes of Hula Hooping a day. I managed 6 out of 7 days, so my question is can I put this down and count it towards my Bronze Body Magic? I haven't done any yet and I...

Hi all I have just finished reading the Fallen Star series by Jessica Sorensen. It was a good series. Sent from my LT30p using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm really envious of all you do. I've been very unhealthy and did nothing up until last Monday. I have started slow and do 10 minutes of hula hooping a day. I have managed to do 5 out of the 6 days so far. I would love to go swimming as I love it, but financially I can't afford it. I plan on...

I tend to make an All Day Breakfast Rice or a Chow Mein and either take it cold or if I have a bit of time I stick it in the microwave for a bit while I'm getting changed. They usually go down really well with my group.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on this post. I think its a great idea. My achievable goal for today is to do 10 minutes with the hula-hoop and 5 minutes of jump rope to kick start my body magic. CJ
