Wow congrats Molly!

His new book - can't remember what it's called - apparently has a entire baking section that is wheat and dairy free. Am getting it for my brother in law for Christmas.

You've had many of the suggestions I would make - I take leftovers too. I find it fills me up more and I then am much less tempting to snack. Quorn spag Bol and pasta, bean chilli and rice, casserole, any of those are good with jacket potatoes. If I'm making coleslaw then I'll take the extra...

Stay the same for me this evening - a relief because I felt like I'd had more treats. I seem to be keeping my good habits into my new job anyway. Have a good time at your sisters. Bec

I'll hunt out that thread. Thanks. We're probably moving round too much for husbands job at the mo. I'd have to wait til we're more settled. There are lots of SW consultants round here - there must be a saturation point where there just aren't enough people for more groups! Maybe we'll land...

I'm not a 20 something but I saw your post. If you're truly sticking to the plan then you prob will feel like you're eating loads. I've lost 3 stone 9 since beginning of Feb and am now at target. Eating lots of the right stuff has been absolutely how it has worked for me - not being hungry is...

Well done Jo - that's my aim now, to be at bottom of target for Christmas so that I can let go over Christmas and new year. Have any of you ever been to an opportunity event to hear more about being a consultant? /(group leader or whatever they're called)

Thanks all. I've done the questionnaire and sent in photos for the next round. I don't really understand the process at all - it looks like it's just the normal 'send us your story' link on the website. I assume they just match up with your record to see you're eligible for the competition? Wait...

Hi all, I've had a busy few weeks with I all the meals associated with a big birthday for my hubby and his family staying. I weighted after the first week of celebrations and managed to come in right on target with a little gain, then missed the following week because we were away (in a lovely...

Try not to be upset Jaffa - it might well just be lag, and isn't that half the point of being slightly under target before you were away? I lost 0.5 in my first week at target - it was a nice surprise as I thought I'd put on. Going through the same issues this week. Feeling constantly cold which...

For the diamond award do you have to have stayed perfectly within the 6lb range all year or just be in it at the end of the year? For example if you had a little gain on holiday that took you a couple of weeks to get off, would you still get the diamond award at the end of the year? It's early...

Hi all, I have finally joined you! I've lost 3 stone 8 since starting in February this year and got to target at weigh in on Tuesday. It was a surprise as I lost 3lb to get there which I haven't done in one week for months but I tried scan bran for the first time that week and I went back to...

1lb to go for 2 stone award. Next goal from there is into a healthy BMI for the first time in about 20 years. Is another 10lbs after the 2 stone award.

Sorry for delayed response - red split lentils go in the soup. You can just throw them in, no need to soak or anything. They take about 10 mins to cook. They're probably one if the easiest lentils to cook with. If you like them and are on netmums there is a red lentil bolognaise recipe that's...

3lb for me - pleased with that. I think its prob the loss that didn't show last week. My favourite soup (even pre SW) is red lentil and spinach. I can't fully remember the quantities off the top if my head but essentially it's - onion, carrot, celery, ginger, garlic, a chilli all sweated down...

Wow! 9lb in a week - that's amazing! My SW leader keeps trying to tell us that with the right dedication we could keep losing the amount that we lose in the first week. I've seen men do it but not women. I lost 3 which I'm pleased with as I was away for 2 nights with no control over the...

Wasmicci I was reading your reply - when you're eating late / too tired to cook why don't you try a jacket potato in the microwave and beans - that would've free on SW (less calories and quicker). Then if you have the will power you're OH can add in grated cheddar to help keep his weight on. My...

Hopefully with your running you'll still be ok. I succumbed to a voucher for free cake at the leisure centre when I took my son swimming today. Coconut jam slice - so way over today :( Had two days that were over at the weekend while we were away too so not sure what to expect. Weigh in...

There's a chocolate mousse recipe on the website - uses fat free fromage frais, quark, sweetener and a options hot choc sachet. So anywhere between 0.5 and 2 syns depending on how many portions you divide it into. I find that layered with sliced banana can help my evening cravings. Otherwise...

I am 4lbs off where I was when I got married so that's the next goal, then 3lbs after that for 2 stone.

Meant to say - well done on the not weighing - I've been there before and have definitely decided I'm better off not doing it. I do tend to weigh before I go to class to weigh in though. I kind of like the warning before I weigh in in public!

Hi I've been going to SW classes - it does help with my motivation. I'm just over 3 months in now and have lost roughly half a stone a month but can't see I'll manage it this month. We're going to friends this weekend which normally involves a big yummy meal and lots of wine. So I'm taking lots...

A lot of my group use the savoury rice flavoured sachets. I think they get them from Tesco or Aldi and they're not many syns. They might be more interesting than plain rice! Or some of the mugshots are free and a useful emergency food. Be careful though - the week I discovered mugshots I didn't...

Hi all, I'm another newbie. Joined last night. I'm doing slimming world too. My first 3 months went well, losing about half a stone a month but last week was disappointing. I'd done loads of exercise but stayed the same. I happened to have done a food diary on paper so gave it to my consultant...

Hi Sammy, I'm impressed with your 5k run. I managed 2 miles this morning. Am hoping to build up to 5k fairly quickly. I'm doing EE on SW too. Can I ask - when you record your syns - 28/105 - is 105 your syns for the week? You're adding them up through the week? Sorry about your step dad by...

Hi Pinkywest - I've just joined this evening too - although I'm 3 months into my weight loss journey. I joined SW at the beginning of Feb and have been doing really well but had a disappointing result at weight in last night. But rather than getting depressed and giving up I'm trying to boost my...
