Sometimes i have ryvitas (dark rye), porridge oats, skimmed milk, mini baby bel light cheeses (not every day though), 2 small slices of w/m bread. I'm going to have the extra virgin olive oil as healthy extra and maybe some nuts for next few days (no bread at all). Been off plan completely for 3...

Hi I hope you get the answers you needs. I too find that red days=better loss. This week I gained and i'd had a totally on plan week with 5 exercise sessions but i'd done a mix of red, green and ee days. There are so many yummy recipes in the 100 free red days book (well worth getting). As of...

Feeling your frustration!! I'm dreading this weeks weigh in for this reason (wednesday night). My cycle is all out of sink and have only had 4 * weeks since before the summer holidays last year. I have no idea when my next is due but by a normal cycle 4/5 weeks my star week is due. I'm...

well done! Well done - I think i'm a little addicted at the moment. I love the post exercise feeling and definately think it helps with the food. I pushed myself at the gym yesterday and have to say I sweated loads more than usual (yuk I know). I've got a PT session today and each time I...

i've been buying treats in singles too because if i bought a multipack of crisps they'd be long gone! They're my vice! Not eaten a nice chunk of cheese since christmas.... that's another vice! Don't beat yourself up - we all do it!

same here! I had a real blip on saturday night and i've well and truly drawn a line in it since owing to how awful it's made me feel. I'm 35 sins over my full weekly sins. I've been exercising loads so i'm hoping to maintain tomorrow night but i feel really bloated. I've done 2 PT sessions...

kettle broke! Well after my post this morning 'confession time' - my kettle broke (set on fire to be precise). So i've boiled some water and milk and i'm having a yummy options hot chocolate as my evening drink tonight. This weeks wine consumption was definately a blip. Just been reading...

confession time!!! I thought i'd post onthis thread as a means of shaming myself.... had a really bad week with the old vino. Not really been drinking at all for about 4 months but this week ....wait for it..... for bottles of red wine??!! Been quite stressed and anxious but hey that's no...

I make different batches of soup or veg stew with new flavours every week, not to speed my loss. Just to help those times when you get in from work and haven't been shopping. The kids love them too!! I've always liked soups because they're packed full of nutrients and no bad stuff. Can't...

me too! I made a huge batch of this on saturday and even had a bowl for breakfast, I try to put extra superfree in. I had a bowl for breakfast with a homemade egg 'mc muffin' SW stylie. Then a chunky bowl of speed soup for lunch and i've just had some rice with all sorts of veg mixed in and...

Hi all, My SW consultant suggested doing a cookathon this weekend and i'm looking for some ideas from other people. If you have any suggestions please post ideas. Preferably syn free or very low sin and any plan. I tend to favour RED and GREEN days though. So far looking at the contents of my...

My veg stew was yummy!!!! I enjoyed it so much i felt the need toc ome on here and share. I'm having a hungry day today (due to lack of sleep last night). I'm pleased to say my veg stew was delicious and packed full of superfree veg and a small handful of lentils to thicken. I literally...

Hi all, I'd like to join the six stone thread please. Prior to xmas i joined slimming world online and lost 9 pounds but unfortunately I put on 6 3/4 lbs over xmas. I've not done a week since the gain but decided to join at the local group instead of online and had my first weigh in last...

Try not to beat yourself up (we're all guilty of that though). I'm struggling too and desperately want to crack my weight loss this time. I lost 9 pounds on the run up to xmas but from 3 days of overeating i've regained 6 3/4 pounds and had an allergic reaction! I think it's msg but not...

me too! Yes me too! I'm relieved to stop eating the calorie laden rubbish. I've made a pan of speedy veg soup and had a good day so far. I'm so bloated and only had 3 days off plan. Xmas day wasn't too bad, no alcohol and the only sins I had were the chocolate cheescake and some cheese and...

On plan! Hi everyone, I've been doing this for 4 weeks now. I'm registered online. So far i've lost 9 pounds but this week I STS (well actually lost 1/4 pound) but online doesn't let you log anything less than 1/2 a pound. Anyhow i've been on plan and good tomorrow but will probably use...

well done I've been doing 1000 plan and have manage to lose 9 pounds in 3 weeks. Admittedly i'm nowhere near goal. Got about 5 stone to go! But i'm still really pleased with the losses. well done on getting to goal hope i get there soon. :) Mel

I'm on cambridge at the mo and have been doing 1000 plan, lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks so i'm really pleased so far. I go on holiday in 11 days and wanted to do 810 for a week to boost my weight loss. I was reading another post about SS and exercise and how your body literally 'eats' itself if...

'Unfortunately yes' i caved... wasn't saying your planned days off were a cheat :) If it suits you and you can refocus then i think it's an individual choice. M

Unfortunately yes. I've caved day 3 and 4 of my restart and was doing really well :sigh: I've got sat, sun and mon day time until my weigh in so i've decided to stick with it and take my smaller loss on the chin and start afresh next week. I have lots of demons to beat and facing them head on...

me too! I'm on day 4 today, but slipped up last night. Was really struggling yesterday so i'm gutted that i caved. But back on the wagon now and going to stay strong. I was doing sole source + but i'm going to SS now untill weigh day to try and compensate for my slip up. Good luck with your...

Hi all, I'm on day 3 of my best restart since my initial loss in 2008. I lost 35 pounds then but unforutunately regained that plus another 3 stone!!! ooops. So finally have my head in the best place i can to do do this properly. Today i'm feeling hot flushed and clammy then goose bumps (not...

joining you Hi I started today and like you i've got 5 weeks to my holiday, going to step up to 810 and then get back on it when i get home. It's day 1 for me. I'm 15st6 this morning. I'm with you. Had my first cup of black coffee this morning and it was ok. Mel

Thanks i was hoping someone would say that. The drinks are more of an obstacle for me than the food. I'm always thirsty so i'm going to give it a go and see how i get on. I won't be drink a carton a day and will just splash a bit in to help with the water. So here goes then, starting tomorrow...

Hi all, I'm thinking of returning to CD as it has by far the most effective weight loss. But i have some issues with the plan. I drink quite a lot of fluid a day, usually diet lemonade and cranberry juice (sugar free- it has only 25 cals a carton). On 810 could you get away with drinking the...

emotional eating hi there, i agree we all have different motivation and all reach a point where enough is enough! but this year it's taken me until nowto get back on track. having said that i struggle to get through the evenings... ( have slipped up a few times this week) i know it's a...

hi i understand hunny i've lost 7.5 ponds this week and also 3 inches off my waist but i feel loads lighter (it's a positive step but frustrating at the same time!) Today i got on my own scales and they haven't moved since friday and i'm up by 1/2 a pound and if i'm honest i'm also gutted. It's...

cheers. I'll try those tips and i'm going to make a coffee now using some vanilla. Nights kill me at the best of times but i must get my head round this because my weight gain is impacting on evrything at the moment. I've become a recluse!!! Mel x

hi there i'm right with you on this, we both have the same amount to lose and are starting at roughly the same weight. Good Luck. Mel x

Hi all Back on day 3 of so called restart and just want to say how appalling i have done so far! i've lost 3 pounds which i know is good and clearly a miracle because i have failed to stick to sole source. Now i'm trying again tomorrow and i'm even more determined to stick to this. I'll...
