I'm also doing Brighton and slimming world so we could keep each other motivated. I intend to start a new diary tomorrow as never post in mine lol

the cookies were really nice, and the raspberries were amazing!!!

Being veggie I find it's more like 1/2 superfree on my plate each meal, I have done SW before and I always get to this weight and then the weight sticks and will not shift no matter what I try, weighing food, eating all syns, eating less syns etc. Maybe 5:2 would shake it up a little, got a...

Yeah I also do tons of exercise and never get decent losses, follow SW to the letter but the weight isn't shifting so it's going to have to be 5:2 or WW x

Do you find you get better losses this way than just doing SW for 7 days? X

Anyone still doing this? I'm looking into 5 2 at moment but want to do SW the 5 days. How do you do the 2 days do you worry about HEXs or free and super free or do you literally just do 500 cals x

did you get your veganbox today?? you are the only other person I know of who gets them so I like to check in each month! got a few yummy things in there today, all of which I had to test a little of!

today is vegankind box day!! another fairly good one this time! :)

Whoops, been useless at filling this out! Got a lot going on at moment but will be back to diary soon! Lost 4lbs first weigh in x

The problem was better the devil you know! You always think the grass is greener on the other side but when you get there it never is :)

Yes just been to weigh in. Gained a pound but to be fair I'm usually a morning weigher so it's not a true reflection. Just had a new hifi light, very nice. Like you I cannot be hungry, I run (rather poorly I admit) and find I need decent meals and on Ww wasn't satisfied x

Hmmm well 4 days into WW and I am so fed up! fed up of weighing and measuring and running out of points each day, cant do f&h as a lot of veggie foods are not on the list. looked at my planned meals for today and they take me over points yet fit perfectly into a green day-think I am destined to...

and finally-vegan Yorkshire puddings!! Serves: 4 Ingredients: 90g/3oz vegan margarine, eg Pure, Suma, Biona 115g/4oz self raising flour, sieved 1 tsp baking powder Pinch salt 280ml/ ½ pint soya milk 55g/2oz whole egg replacer, eg Ogran or Enger-G brands 60ml/...

and this is not so SW friendly but looks good anyway! VEGAN NUTELLA!!!!!!! In a sauce pan, heat: 2 heaping tablespoons of coconut oil 2-3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder ½ cup of hazelnut butter Mix well until all ingredients are melted together. Add maple syrup, honey or agave and...

Apologies in advance id this is not allowed but found this for Sweet potato and quinoa burgers and it looks fab and SW friendly x YIELD: 10 PATTIESINGREDIENTS:PRECOOK: 2 cups cooked brown lentils (about ¾ cup uncooked) 2 cups cooked quinoa (about ½ cup uncooked) 1½ cups mashed sweet...

me too! Well with all that is going on I haven't the energy to write my diary up on here but I am pleased to say I am still well and truly on plan and logging everything on WW online. managed a 6.5 mile run yesterday burning 841 cals which will rack up some activity points :)

My comment about the thread police was only a joke as there is a gentle rivalry between SW and WW. totalling agree with the bit about being English speaking forum :)

im here to follow-we both weigh in on Mondays so can help each other along x

Thanks Sammie. Can you not cancel and go through quidco? I won't get the £25 back for a few weeks but I was going to sign up anyway so it makes no difference waiting a few weeks. Quidco always have offers on WW. The 3 month plan is still fairly cheap though, although I do know a cheat way to...

There could be??? Lol. Some people think only SW works and WW is a swear word. I love SW but it just doesn't fit my life right now x

Well today didn't go to plan. My lovely grandad lost his fight with cancer and I lost my appetite so the 13 point dinner was replaced with half a bar of dairy milk Oreo meaning I used 28/29 dailies and no weeklies

well I have a confession to make! I have defected to WW!! I am doing so well with being veggie and transistioning to vegan but felt I was eating too much of the same things on SW and I could feel my portions getting larger and I gained a few pounds so moved to WW i still plan to stay on this...

So after dabbling with SW and switching between that and WW on an almost daily basis I have finally realised WW is the one for me. I don't like the local class so have opted for 3 month online subscription for £29.85 although I went through quidco which gives me £25 cashback meaning I got 3...

I ate the chocolate the first day and that was delish and yesterday ate the pickled onion things and the flapjack type thing plus half a packet of those gummy things-whoops! I am looking forward to trying out this months recipe card

nothing in there will spoil, something did sneak into my mouth earlier though which was lovely but 11 unplanned syns!!

This looks tasty, I am moving towards vegan, cheese will be a tough one for me to part with, technically though I might not be classed as vegan as may occasionally have honey

I think it's a good one this time, there is nothing I won't use or eat, got the binder as well!

vegankind box just arrived! I get excited every month x

sorry been away, didn't meet the challenge but did manage 39.5 so not too bad Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 20/35 miles Jenniecakes - 48.6/70 miles KentCat - 34/40 miles Liquoricet -14/35 miles Sunflower1981 - 39.5/56 miles

If you have a green day you won't need to syn the extra cheese x

its 20 cals a syn as there is no free food allowance so you should be able to work it out from the calorie value x

3 miles today Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 14.3/35 miles Jenniecakes - 38.1/70 miles KentCat - 24/40 miles Liquoricet -6/35 miles Sunflower1981 - 29.5/56 miles

Wow I don't know how anyone can run with a hangover! 4.5 today, missed my 6.5 at weekend, I have been diagnosed with anaemia which explains the exhaustion I have felt recently and I don't feel as bad now for missing the odd run! Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 14.3/35 miles Jenniecakes -...

Another 4.5 miles in the bank! Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 9.1/35 miles Jenniecakes - 31.9/70 miles KentCat - 17/40 miles Liquoricet -6/35 miles Sunflower1981 - 22/56 miles

Jamie Oliver’s Happy Cow Burgers | Cats - Love - Cooking just want to rave about how tasty these were! the only syns will be in the flour and olive oil but there wasn't a lot in there, nice served in a HEB roll and some chips and salad :eating:

I have never tried tofu, what does it taste like? What sort of texture does it have?

4.5 done yesterday Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 9.1/35 miles Jenniecakes - 27.4/70 miles KentCat - 13/40 miles Liquoricet -6/35 miles Sunflower1981 - 17.5/56 miles

I have stumbled across a great page about a clean eating vegan Girl, she blogs her food etc, it's called funeral for my fat. I am starting to sway more towards clean eating whilst staying within SW boundaries although I may have to tweak one or 2 things to make my diet clean but will see how I...

God I hate the saying body magic as well and refuse to ever use it! It is exercise and there is nothing magic about it, you go out and sweat your butt off and you maybe lose a little extra weight if you are lucky! I also always think of the word syns to mean that I have sinned as well which...

4.5 miles yesterday and same tomorrow Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 7/35 miles Jenniecakes - 17.4/70 miles KentCat - 13/40 miles Liquoricet -6/35 miles Sunflower1981 - 13/56 miles

Wow some fab looking meals there!

for some reason it is not a B which like you I find strange with olive oil being a B. I love avocado, it is really nice mashed on toast actually and the high fat content makes it filling

yes I agree. much better than eating crisps etc. With the avocado tweak I have always told myself if it affects losses then it stops straight away but I don't think avocado ever made anyone fat!

mine has HFW on the front. daren't watch any of those films!

I think the plan needs to be adapted if it is to be followed for life so a few dehydrated fruit and veggies isn't going to make you fat and if it keeps you happy then why not! I have a sneaky avocado now and again and use a b choice which is not right but I see it as good fat like olive oil! My...

I have always been an animal lover but when I rescued my two dogs and starred walking them through the trust land near my home and saw all the lambs just been born and the little calves and I just felt a bit sad to go home and eat them and it went from there really. I do a lot with animal...

It is well worth it, I watched the river cottage veg programme first and then bought the book and most of the things are either already SW friendly or can be adapted such as the kale and mushroom lasagne, pinto bean chilli etc. I am sure it is still half price on amazon at moment as well

I have just cooked for dinner tonight a cauliflower and chickpea curry from river cottage veg book, tried it and it smells amazing, I halved the quantities to make 2 servings so will have rest tomorrow for lunch, the only thing in it that is not free on green is the olive oil and I used 1tbsp...

I have seen some people who are veggie do red days as quorn and linda mccartney are all ok on red days, when I was trying to become veggie the hardest thing to give up was my rare fillet steak on a sat night and even now the thought makes me drool, I kept eating fish until a few weeks ago but...

Vegan box came in normal post and love love love it this month! I'm still fairly new to veggie so want to fully get my head around that before I attempt anything vegan, I have always hated eggs but I still like cake. I don't drink milk anyway so for me it's cheese and yoghurt although it's...

I would say eat the snack as at 20 cals it's only 1 syn anyway

I am happy with all of it, got my wristband on now, I can't wait to try the dehydrated snack. The popcorn I buy anyway so I added it to the other 4 or 5 bags in the cupboard, the protein bar quite high in cals but got some long training runs coming up so will save it for then, the laundry stuff...

Calling all vegan box subscribers! Mine arrived this morning, quite a good box this time but won't spoilt the surprise for those that have not received :-)

Mine has arrived!! I won't spoil the surprise though :)

I was going to ask the same question! last weekend I went to Prezzo and I had penne arrabiata and as I had used my A choices I had without cheese and it was lovely, I think that would be vegan

Thanks for the ideas! never had tabbouleh so may give that a go Bought river cottage veg cookbook and there are some good stuff in there, having cauliflower and chickpea curry tomorrow night and next week will try the pinto bean chilli

Thanks will give that a go, did you leave it on low overnight? did the liquid reduce? will try the rice pud as well! How long have you got left of your vegan week? would you mind giving me a typical days eating plan of yours on a vegan week? like to get as many ideas as poss :)

first weigh in for a month and managed a maintain. time to kick ass now! Green day 07/08 B: smoothie made with 250ml koko milk (part of A1), handful of strawberries, dollop of ff greek yoghurt and a scoop of protein 4.5 syns) now I know this is considered to be a tweak as I haven't synned the...

Wow do you have the recipe for the chilli and the pud please opal Lilly :-) thanks

Will be back posting tomorrow after weigh in, back on plan and trying to be completely meat/fish free

Has your vegan box arrived yet? Thought I might have had mine by now, I'm so impatient!!

you seem to be coping really well with it, my OH eats a bacon butty every weekend plus I make him ham sandwiches for his pack up each day and it was hard at first but gets easier. Pickled onions are fine thank god! there is a list on internet somewhere of accidental vegan foods so things that...

3 miles for me this morning and now waiting for PT to show up for a 30 min core session in my back garden :) Opal Lily - 15/60 miles Pippalata - 2.4/35 miles Jenniecakes - 14.3/70 miles KentCat - 6.2/40 miles Liquoricet -35 miles Sunflower1981 - 8.5/56 miles

I don't know why I keep signing up for them but I do!! I did one in June which was far too hilly! how do you feel today after that?

hi can I join this thread please :) training for great easten run 12 October. my plan says 56 miles for August 5.5 done already :)

even just eating less meat is a good thing so even if you do go back to eating meat you will probably naturally eat less! I have occasionally posted on the runaholics one but now I have another half to train for in 10 weeks and a full marathon next april I should really join a challenge to keep...

looks yummy! sorry I might have missed it but did you say this Vegan diet for you was for a week or will you continue do you think? by the way koko chocolate milk and almond breeze choc milk are both vegan and are really tasty, I usually have a glass of one or the other after a run

wow I love frys peppermint and orange creams and ruffles!! this going vegan lark is becoming more appealing![ QUOTE=i_am_plankton;7465016]The labelling is confusing - they have to state that it may contain milk for allergy sufferers but it could be that it's made in the same factory but not...

I think I had expectations of it being bacon tasting and it was a taste I wasn't prepared for, everytime I crave bacon I think of little chubby piglets and get the quorn sausages out instead and they always hit the spot! Those Vega bars are actually nicer than a lot of normal choc x on another...

scrap that, just opened packet, took a few pieces, chewed them, felt sick and washed the taste away with some koko choc milk :sigh: guess its not for everyone!

was the bacon nice? did it taste like bacon? may have to get mine out as I fdont half miss the taste of bacon!!

not received it yet, im excited! have still to try the coconut bacon from last month, not sure if I will like it or not, what does it taste like? the choc bar was amazing but I couldn't put it down so it didn't last very long,would deffo buy it again! I will try that magazine then-thanks for...

please do let us know about the cheese as that is the one thing stopping me from going vegan right now. I do subscribe to the monthly vegan boxes though and was surprisedlast month which was my first box to receive the most amazing tasting vegan chocolate by Vego, it tastes like nutella, me and...

I am in the transition first to full veggie and then hopefully to vegan. I have given up all meat and now its just the occasion piece of fish but I want to give that up too. what I don't want to do is replace meat with quorn or similar as I find too much of it makes me ill so want to go down the...

im veggie and I don't eat eggs or drink milk, the only animal products I am struggling to give up are cheese and greek yoghurt! a thread/sub forum would be fab!

simply filling is the old plan which was replaced by filling & healthy-we probably need a new sub forum for f&h and simple start x

Nice trainers! good luck for weigh in. mine is on Saturday and I think Saturday is the time to start a new diary!

food looks great! I have quite a bit on for next week so will do a mix of f&h and PP but from the Tuesday after which will be first week of august I might do a week of SS as I quite like the idea of 2 treats

that's a pretty good result for 2 weeks off! I can gain that in a weekend!! Loving the random dinner! Donna

I have recently switched from SW to WW and love it! I used to do WW before but now it is a lot better with both PP & F&H, I like to do a mixture of both and always use my 49pp. the WW part of this forum needs livening up though,i prefer minis to the official ww forum !

Do you have a foam roller? if so use that to stretch the muscles, if not then I would say maybe a nice bubble bath and then just rest until sunday

Green day dinner of Quorn escalope (7syns) large salad and actifry chips (oil as HEXB)

Well hill reps didn't happen! I set off to the hill and when I got there it was busy with people going about normal business and I felt too embarrassed, normally I do it with my friend who is a personal trainer but he is away this week and felt daft running up and down a hill on my own so went...

Hi all, I did join this thread a while back but then went awol from the page! still on plan though just about. todays plan is 10 hill reps, that's 10 laps of sprinting up a big hill and jogging back down-not my idea of fun but apparently it will make me a better runner :cry:

Thanks :) and yeah i totally agree about being creative, we too lived on chicken in various marinades with SW chips whereas now i have something different every night and eat more superfree than i did on EE which is weird as superfree considered more important on EE. Curry sounds nice-might...

Hope you dont mind but i am following your diary with interest as i too have recently given up or am trying to give up meat. im enjoying the veggie life so far but i know i will probably have the old slip up on the way :)

Hi-im new to minimins-hope you dont mind me posting here? Ive been on SW for almost 3 weeks and loving it-done it before but it never clicked. Anyway i love running and all things exercise wise. im not the fastest but i keep plodding on! Donna

Well this is my 3rd week on SW so thought it was about time i joined in and started my own diary instead of sneaking around on other peoples :giggle: My name is Donna, im 33 and love running and all things exercise, i also love food far too much which is why i am here!! I am trying to cut out...
