Cheers all :) I have a school reunion tonight, have borrowed jeans and a top (actually about 5 tops - couldn't decide!) as I have virtually nothing that fits and no time to go get something! Must scoot and start getting ready, have an hour and a half journey to get there plus my friend who's...

This maintaining lark! I've dropped another 1½ lbs, despite having extra HexB's and being a bit lax with my syns. Maybe it's because the pressure's off? It would have been a good loss week anyway looking at my loss pattern before. It's also very tempting to get into the next stone weight...

Under bust first, bra size came down, then cup size. Then back, face and neck, then that horrid bit just under my knee where I'd got a bulge cos it had nowhere else to go!!! Finally belly :)

I've had a definate pattern to my losses. Despite not having 'proper' star week due to mirena coil, I still have some of the symptoms - sore boobs etc so I assume a bit of water retention too. A STS the week before and a little gain 'that week' was not unusual for me, followed by a good loss...

Goodness, what a lot of congrats :) Thank you so much everyone :) Back at the start I thought if I could shift a stone or two I'd be delighted and here I am 3 and a half later contemplating another half if I can tighten up the wobbles :D Yaaay for Slimming World! Just hang in there, keep...

Hiya Julie Yes, I'm a bit aprehensive about maintaining, I'm going to switch to EE and add a HexB if necessary, I suppose it'll be trial and error. I'm hoping to maintain for a few months - give me time to tone up a bit and see if my skin still fits :p then go for another half stone maybe :)

Awww, thank you all :) Have to say I was quite emotional at class, got loads of hugs, *nearly* had a blub lol Angie, I may be pestering you for maintain hints... for the mo I'm going to switch to EE then add a HexB if lose next week. :)

Wooooot, I'm at target! 10 months it's taken me, I'm now 3st 7½lbs lighter, healthier, and happier! I know I've mostly lurked on here, but I've been sooo grateful for all the hints and tips I've come across, and gee'd up by your success stories, so thank you! Now comes the maintaining, so...

I ♥ BB, 17 mins to go!!! I lost a lb this week, after gaining 1½ last week then going camping and just got star week so am allowing myself a couple of small gins while I kick back and watch the madness start :) Also no booze this weekend as am working two nightshifts sat and sun - stocktake...

OMG I thought it was just me! My weight crept up over the last 9 years, zoomed up over the last year, and I just can't believe I let me get so bad! I think it's because SW is so good, so 'common sense' that we can't quite get our heads round how daft we've been not doing it before! You need to...

Oh yeah, they do get the certificate the following week :)

As I understand it the Slimmer of the Week has to have lost the previous week and stayed to class inorder to take that award and the basket of fruit that other members have brought. Should that person not stay to class, then our consultant raffles off the basket alongside the normal raffle prize.

90p less - £2.65 in shops £1.75 at meetings :)

Here's a link to Wii Active on YouTube - looks really good, I'm waiting for some vouchers from work (20 year service award) so I can go shopping :) YouTube - EA Sports Active (Nintendo Wii) Trailer

Hi Some inspiration required please :) My friend and I are taking our kids camping weather permitting this week - only a couple of nights. She is a 'can eat anything and not gain an ounce' girl (grrr) whereas I really want to try and stick to plan. Morrison's sausages are a must LOL but what...

I'd give the new consultant a ring again -she might be on holiday or something - or see if you can find an area contact who would know. She may let you rejoin in 5 weeks, but so long as you maintained keep your original awards?

Have you got a Home Bargains in Hull? They usually have loads of kitcheny gadgets - good prices too. Failing that Poundland - silicon baking trays and microwave cooking things :) *is a bargain hunter* :D

Tin Opener :D

Grater, Set of Knives, Spatula, Couple of wooden spoons. Set of measuring cups and scales. That should get you started :)

WOW!!! Well done to all of you who made your target before the Bank Holiday :) I'm a pound shy of mine - really wanted it this week too as my consultant's away next week and I wanted her to be there when I hit my target :( Might maintain next week :cool: :D Annie - 21lbs - 8.5 lbs to go...

Some of those types of pasta in sauces ARE free but those ones obviously not sorry. You'll find that the tomatoey ones have a lower (or zero) syn value. Only free ones I can think of at the minute are mug shots, I don't use them so not sure which, someone will be along in a bit who knows tho :-)

Hi and welcome :) For your chilli to be free on a green day you either need to make sure your lean mince is a measured amount to use as a Healthy Extra B Choice OR swap the meat for Quorn (meat substitute) mince. I would be tempted to leave it out altogether or, if it's just for texture use TVP...

Giant quorn chilli and mounds of rice, or morrisons sausages or a within syn night on the pop - all make me feel naughty and wonder if I'll ever lose at next weigh in!!

That's brilliant.... Well Done!!

WOW this diet is amazing! Can't believe that I'm 8 months into it and can still muster a super week like this one!!! 3lb off! My consultant asked how/what I'd done different and all I could think of was all the great hints and tips I've found on here. I do think a gain a couple of weeks ago...

Re plain couscous I made some for class last week and it went down well - I just copied the Jamie Oliver Advert: Couscous, lemon zest, lemon juice and sliced and slightly charred courgettes. It went down a treat, I've since made it for my friend who loved it too. You can serve either warm or at...

Love Aldi. It's handy for me to pop in a couple of times a week on the way home from work. Yes, I find I can buy most SW things there, I do supermarket-tart for offers tho, for instance, wherever Mullerlights are on offer I'll go there, also couldn't be without Morrisons free sausages. I use...

My friend weighed her jeans and work pants on her kitchen scales and there was 1lb difference!! So it could make all the difference between a STS and a loss! I tend to wear the same thing to weigh in each week - just in case :) Also go for a little sleep cos I know I'll wake up needing a wee...

peel and remove seeds, chop into chunks, roast... nom nom :)

I'd use my other HexA milk and poach the fish in it with a chopped onion, keep fish warm and let the milk reduce down to a sauce, than have a ton of veg, could do new pots or a jacket as HexB. I have smoked haddock for tonight but doing it as kedgeree (EE plan). Do think you're best learning...

I couldn't see them in the Healthy Extra section either, however maybe you could check the fibre content against some of the other hex's and if high enough have 4 as a hexB? Or maybe that they're called flatbreads is the clue and they aren't high enough in fibre? Ryvita Thins, Cracked Black...

Most Hex's are round about the 6 mark :)

You'd probably only get away with one slice worth of cheese on pizza as a hexA :( so syns for one slice less 6? Domino's Pizza Small Regular Crust Pizza, Vegetarian Supreme 100g serving Original...

Just checked beansprouts and alfalfa on lifeline online and they're both free on both. I would thing all sprouting seeds are the same because much like baby corn (free on both but sweetcorn only free on green) the carb content hasn't had time to develop :)

Homebase do a kit, multi layer propagator, and every kind of seed for it. Cherryade's totally right tho, we used to do alfalfa in a jam jar!

rach3 and sparkey, I'm Cumbria too :) Originally Carlisle now Barrow.

Marmite and banana together!! :p I'm also a lover of scan bran (bought 2 packs last night to get me back on track!) I like that they keep you full for so long, just off to have mine now with milk and banana, will probably have three and save the other 2 for later :)

I usually have mine as a kinda porrige - bit of water, bit of milk from HexA Nuke in Microwave add chopped Banana. Love it like that! Five Scan brans is a lot of porrigey stuff, so I use 2 or three and have the others for supper or a snack. Have also had them with just a skim of marmite - bit...

So they're a bit like mushy peas? I'd say they were free on green/ee so long as they only contained the peas and a bit of seasoning/vinegar :)

1. SLACK ALICE - NONE :D 2. MSBLUE - a chunk before I even got out of bed (but I've synned it) :ashamed0005::giggle: 3. ???

Had the dreaded dentist check up yesterday - at my last one I was only a few weeks into SW and as usual had the extra appointment for scaling. This time - No plaque, no picking at it with torture like instruments, no sore gums afterwards!! Yaaaaay! Definately down to the diet! :brushing teeth:

Hope you don't mind, but I've had a root about on the net. Maybe this site will help: Carers.org It's the Princess Royal trust for Carers :)

You might also be able to put your son's name down for any cancellations the respite centre may have - there may be a waiting list for them, but worth looking into?

:d'oh: Know the feeling it took me a few weeks to find it in mine LOL

Is there a charity linked to your son's disability? You may get some support there or at least links to further support? Also wondered about a forum, at least there may be folk going thru the same thing and equipped to offer more ideas/solutions for you. And a hug, really feel for you x

You should have a mix to max /success express booklet in your SW pack. Our consultant has chatted about them, mainly if someone has plateaued and wanting a boost :-)

I thought I was a carb addict and that's why I had piled on the weight, but I know now it was the wrong sort of carbs (white bread and breadcrumb coated things) that were my downfall! How about you go for one meal of brown rice/wholemeal pasta for your first couple of green days, a rice salad...

I think corn on/off the cob is free on green as it's higher in carbs than most veg. It's the mini salad corns that are free on red :)

If you work it out on Green with the chickpeas as free food allowance a 50g serving is: ½ Syn per package/portion on Green Looks good, would have a try but got no blender :sigh:

Looks good :) Fill up on fruit and veg snacks this afternoon too. Oooh a holiday target - great to work towards!

Hi Well done on your decision to return :) Re tonight - I'd have a decent meal before you go, then you'll be less tempted by the nibbles. If I have a night out where there's likely to be nibbles/buffet I tend to go for a green day so I can stick to rice/pasta salad. Oh and step away from the...

Think it's different for everyone - you might weigh a bit heavier the week before and not show a true loss, or it might be the actual week. You'll only know by keeping an eye on your losses which week it affects you and you'll know which is your star week :) Might take a couple of cycles...

The big Schweppes bottles of mixers come with a measure cup over the top of the bottle cap, which shows 25ml and 35ml :) Planned on 4 25ml measures last night - only had two!! *Polishes halo* LOL

Hi all, a ½lb off for me - I'm expecting a decent loss next week after a couple of rubbish weeks! Really felt like I'd shifted a couple of lbs more this morning - all bright and breezy LOL maybe it's just my bod adjusting? Annie - 21lbs - 17lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs 19lbs to go Bettylollypop -...

There's a fromage frais mayo recipe on the SW website a the mo - looks really good and keeps about 5 days in the fridge :)

Kebabs, fling in a few herbs and an egg yolk and mould round skewers. A Keema style curry. Italian style meatballs. I made burgers with turkey mince the other week (due to lack of ideas lol) and they were lovely, in fact with the spare one I chopped it up the next day and had it in couscous salad :)

'Polish food' makes me think of hearty veg stews - Borscht, which is like a beetroot soup. I think you'll be ok being veggie there, but is it getting more touristy? You might find that restaurants are catering for more westerners anyway. Google 'eating out in Krakow' there's a big list of sites...

Meduim sized spuds. Microwave them for about 10 mins, Cut into wedges and put on frylighted tray. Have oven hot already. Pop them in with a few more squirts of frylight and a generous sprinkle of steak seasoning. Turn when starting to brown. About 15 mins before end sprinkle with HexA half fat...

I really wish I'd taken measurements at the start, but I've definately lost inches as now buying 36e bras instead of 38/40f and trousers I used to have to undo in the afternoon now fall down!

Morning :) Re Corn Bread: I did check the book last night at class, it's the Four Seasons Hardback recipe book, and deffo says free on green - yaay! I don't think you could eat too much of it anyway - it's quite heavy, but I'm enjoying the odd slice warmed up with half fat cream cheese :)

Won't copy the list as I sts this week - not enough fruit, veg and water I reckon!

Oh and welcome :)

11 weeks to get to club 10 for me :) And excersise... anytime now I think! My losses are in fits and starts as I only have 10lb to go so will be excersising from here on in :)

:giggle: I'm loving 'little pickers wear bigger knickers' proper made me laugh! Lentil that's the word I was looking for - mantra! Thanks so far :)

Morning all :) I'm just after a little inspiration. My class consultant is a lovely lady, always smiling and encouraging, funny (she should be on stage some weeks) and motivating. She sends out cards and rings members, even though she has her own struggles with her weight. I want to return the...

I totally agree re being careful, but you cook polenta by adding liquid be it water or egg/yogurt batter. I'll have a look at the cook book at class tonight, put our minds at ease (or not lol)

Believe it's from the Slimming World Four Seasons cook book? I made it last night, it was nice warm with a little low fat cream cheese on :) Would be lovely alongside a Quorn Chilli or as a vegi pizza base.

It's fairly mild - could always add lemon juice if too hot for you. Re no Asda, there's probably a recipe somewhere that you could adapt to SW, cook up a batch then freeze in portions? (I couldn't find anything similar in Tesco - Morrisons have a cold shelf one but it's synned)

Asda, amongst the tins :)

Hiya :) I'm pretty sure I c&p'd it from here somewhere, but here it is: Chilli Corn Bread Ingredients: fry light 250g/9oz fine polenta 1 tsp baking powder salt & pepper plenty of it! 4 large eggs lightly beaten 300g/11oz very low fat natural yogurt 275g/10oz canned sweetcorn kernals...

I've tried the chickpea dahl for the first time this week too - gorgeous with brown rice :) I'm also going to try the Chilli Corn Bread, made with polenta and free on green, tomorrow - will report back :)

I'm glad having the free SW tickets has helped - 1½ stone is a good start. However I don't think you've used them to their best, staying to class would be a bigger step in you understanding the healthy eating for life regime and you'd be less likely to fall off the wagon.:) A few of our local...

At my group we're asked to bring in an item of free food or a low syn treat each week, that goes to the slimmer of the week. Then the raffle prizes are usually a large basket of veg and same size basket of fruit. Our consultant always has fruit teas, decaf coffee and suger free squash available...

Me too please? I have 15lb to go and think I might struggle a bit with it. Hopefully you can help keep me on track and kick my butt when required :) Annie - 21lbs to go Niknaks - 21lbs to go Bettylollypop - 21lbs to go Orion - 21lbs to go MsBlue - 15 lbs to go

Oh that's a good one Taz -I'd had a bit of a mental block as to what to do with some quorn Chicken pieces. Simple enough to sort after work too :)

I see your problem with Hex's - A's I'm a bit stumped, but B's if your ok with dried food then: Cereals - those mini boxes already measured, Finn Crispbreads (6 thin or 3 thick) Ryvitas, Ole faithful Scan Bran :D I've made packet noodles in the past by shoving in a bowl and adding the water a...

Fill up on free and superfree - that's exactly what they are. If you feel like snacking - the kind of snacking where you need to shovel something in - big handfuls (like I do LOL) do it with beanshoots or celery - your diet brain will 'get' that there's not many calories there :) Do hang in...

I hadn't dieted before other than a few days of 'supposed' healthy eating and I realised that a class was going to be the way to go for me. Didn't want to do WW cos my friend had... what if I failed?:ashamed0005: So SW was the leaflet that dropped thru my door. I really couldn't believe my luck...

I'm a coffee addict too, but do try to stop drinking it after lunchtime. I tried lots of different green/white/herbal teas before finding one I really like - Clipper Detox Tea - tastes a bit like weak hot vimto. As for milk I started buying skimmed soon as I started SW and I stick to the one...

Any of your HexB bread will do, if its a little on the dry side it sucks up the eggy mix better ;)

It's one of my favourites too, but with a banana - scrummy :) I NEVER thought I'd be a splenda convert!!

My WI's 7pm and on the day I'll have a 2 egg mushroom omlette and salad about 9.30 then maybe a ryvita goodness about 2, last cuppa about 4.30/5 and a little snooze - always need a wee when I wake up ;) - then off to WI. Might try having a red day the day before, I usually have only one or two...

Nikki, you need to include your height when you put your stats into user cp :)

Thought I might do my Potato wedges with steak (spicy hot) seasoning and HexB cheese. It's about 2 minutes walk to class, so if I aim to arrive a little bit late they'll still be warm. Also I thought about Bulgar wheat salad, but might leave that for a little bit later in the year.

You managed a Hex amongst that lot, all's not lost ;)

2 packs of Quorn mince for £3 at the Co-op:)

I'm not a fan of scan bran just as a cracker/biscuit type thing but I do believe its definately helped me with weight losses. i love it cooked into porridge, also love it as a kinda porridge on its own - 2 or 3 nuked with a little water and milk then a banana chopped on top (my workmates call it...

Always in my weekly shop: Scan Brans, Ryvita Goodness Bars and Clipper detox tea bags :)

a whole small regular crust vegi is 65 syns :eek:

Level tablespoon of linseed is 3½ syns on red and green. Have you had a try of scan bran (5 as a Hex) I have it at breakfast crushed then made up with milk from allowance and a bit of water then nuked - makes a sort of a porrage, then add chopped banana - YUM and keeps things moving!

I've lost 2st 3lb since mid august last year, well chuffed, never hungry, and had a big birthday and Xmas/NY to contend with! I always look out for Annie's weekly update Sue - she's inspirational (and I'm a teensy bit jealous that she's going to see Metallica ;)!)

Sugar free polos are 4 syns a pack, I usually get a packet on monday (work mon to thur) so I can have 2 or 3 at my desk and avoid coffee breath :D and count them as a syn a day.

Hi Emerald - Wow, what a difference! We joined SW the same week, I've managed 2st 3lb off, and it's made such a difference to me too - before and during pics in my album, dunno how to put on here!! I'm undecided exactly what my target will be as I'm aware that on the wrong side of 40 and 5' 7"...

I think it's only the white spirits Vodka, white rum that are 2½ syns per 25ml measure - the sweeter liquer type ones are much higher (Southern comfort's 4) Alcopops and lager are quite high too - one bottle of WKD is 13½!! I'd stick with a gin and slimline tonic or vodka and diet coke :)
