Had a reeeally bad week. Eaten so much and just reminded myself how awful I feel whenever I overeat. I was hoping I could do the "eat when hungry, stop when full" thing and get by alright. But yeah...i'm back. Any tips on getting back into the swing of things?

Ah! I'm glad its ok to do it in the oven because I felt a bit like I was eating radioactive food. Next time its going to be an oven-job :) I like the idea of a lemony cake. That would be deeelish. Especially with some melted white chocolate or something equally yummy.

Aww I love love stories... :) You go Kitty. Miaww!

I'm a green-day girl :) Red days make me feel sick. Blergh.

I'm getting a copy of the recipe book "100 Comfort Foods" tonight so that should help keep the comfort eating healthy! lol. I'm also planning to re-read Gillian Rileys "Eating Less". It's a fab book and I really recommend it to anyone who struggles with overeating and falling of the...

I just switched over from the pill (microgynon - the one they give everyone at first) to Implanon (the implant...its a little stick in your arm that lasts 3 years). Anyway, I've just been looking at forums on the internet and a lot of people complaining about weight gain after having Implanon...

Don't worry Emski - i'm in the same boat!!! I'm at home now though and Mum is on SW so the house is full of muller lights and pasta. Wahoo. It's my boyfriend...I think I associate him with chocolate or something. GAH!

I'm at home and my Mum and sister are on SW so i'm back in. Not going back to meetings, but going to keep filling in my food diary and coming on here. :) Slow and steady wins the race!

Ginny is in hiding! :-P

Yaaay! :) Glad to hear kitty is better. Phew.

Ooh, cool! I love things like that :-D Thanks for pointing it out!!!

Spaceangel, you genius! I hadn't thought of that. I am currently going to the earliest class on a Monday, and the consultant always talks about how busy the later classes are. I'm going to go back and go to the later class. Even though I KNOW I've gained. It's scary...but after thinking...

Has anyone else managed to "accidentally" eat a whole cous cous cake in a day?

Feel really rotten... totally fallen off the proverbial wagon and even been thinking of leaving Slimming World. I do not enjoy the group that I go to. The consultant gets on my nerves, and hardly anyone stays to class. Last week there were four ladies, including me!!! Should I leave and do...

Oh man. 100%ing has totally gone out of the window... i feel like totally leaving Slimming World full stop. Help! What do I do!?!?!?

thursday the 6th november banana apple pear baked beans and a baked potato :) a twirl (11.5 syns) banana quorn bolognese wholemeal pasta 4 ryvita (healthy B) 3 dairylea triangles (healthy A) 28g cheddar (healthy A) pepsi max cous cous cake fuller for longer yoghurt

I just made cous cous cake using a shape yoghurt and some plain fat free natural yoghurt. it worked and tasted GORGEOUS! Twas cherry flavour. mmmmm x

Muller Light Muesli (a handful..didn't weigh it - oops!) HEX B mug shot 2 finger kit kat (5.5 syns) Some leftover double pasta lasagne a cous cous cake 1/2 a quorn sausage Not doing too well today. A WHOLE cous cous cake!? Rediculous. I'm going home to see my boyfriend tonight and I think...

Red Days Turkey kebabs Sardines on toast Omlette A fry up! :-D Proper mince bolognese with a healthy B of wholemeal pasta Green Days Beans on toast Pasta n Sauce Baked potatoes!!! Quorn burgers/sausages potato wedges *homemade or frozen* Tinned spaghetti or pasta shapes (Bob the builder! haha)...

Hmmm I don't know.... They're nice but they taste a bit weird. PLUS I got this weird web of fibre stuff in a mango flavoured one!! Put me off a bit... *shudder* Still a massive Muller Light fan. It's just a shame they cost so bloody much.

Yay! I'm sure it will go really well. I love silver jewellery too - let's see this website Mrs Beans!!!! :D

I was just thinking that losing just 3.5lbs in a month MEANS that you would lose 3 STONE IN A YEAR! Which for me, would take me down to about 10 stone. Which is a BMI of 20.7 :D How much would YOU lose?

...and poundland :-P

This post has really made me think about things Emski. Thanks :)

Mmmm I think they'd be great to take to work. Bung them in a mug and all you need is some water and a kettle! Could have them with a sandwich or some Ryvita or something. YUMMY!

Tuesday the 4th November Banana on 2 slices Nimble (HEX B) Cup of tea with milk from (250ml soya milk HEX A) fat free yog with kiwi and clementine slice of cous cous cake banana bottle of water slice of superfree quiche Mug Shot-chicken flavour beans potato wedges *homemade* slice of superfree...

5 realities Made it through my A-levels and into university! I'm still with my boyfriend, despite the fact that I don't live at home anymore. It's actually strengthened our relationship :) I am managing to eat healthily, lose weight sensibly AND be a student. (Deserve a big medal, yes I do)...

You're all mad!!! Butternut squash is one of my favouritest things EVERRRR. (Mind you, I am also a massive fan of sweet potatoes... maybe its something about those vegetables, lol) v proud of you Emski. I think you deserve a big sticker :-P

Aww :) Mr Beans sounds great!

I'm glad things are looking up. I agree with him, GO GIRL! hehe :)

I just had my first ever Mug Shot. Twas chicken, seeing as you asked. While eating it I decided it was WAAY too tasty to be free, so I typed it into the SW syn calculator. 1/2 a syn per serving it came up as. Hmmm. I did say that they were ordinary dried noodles, rather than egg noodles...

Ooh, Force Ten - we have the same tickers!! :) Ladybirds and grass are the best. xx

Just to say that last night I also tried the lasagne and it was DEEEELISH. I halved the quantities, and forgot to add sweetner. It was still really really really nice, and I ate about 2 servings... lol. After that I had a slice of cous cous cake. Possible the best meal ever?!? Today I tried...

Lifestyle change - DEFINITELY! I love the fact that I could eat some homemade quorn lasagne, and a Twirl last night and not feel wracked with guilt... yay Slimming World!

POUNDLAND! 3 Mugshots for £1 4 cans Pepsi Max/Diet Pepsi for £1 bloomin' brilliant :)

Yay! Well done! I bet your holiday will be FAB :-)

From everyone's response it seems like it is most likely going to be fine. MASSIVE HUGS TO YOU! You will be ok :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :-D

Aw thanks everyone :) I'm still on plan and plodding along. Definitely better off than on!!!

Went to class today and I only lost 0.5lbs. Booo :( Feeling annoyed that I have only managed to lose 3.5lbs in a MONTH! Really sore head tonight too, and I think i am in a bad mood from PMS as well. Not a nice combination! Grrrr. On the flipside, this makes me more motivated to put 100%...

Maybe the cous cous was TOO soaked at the beginning. I find that if i cover it with too much water the cous cous cake gets a bit soggy.... p.s. I had a cake tonight and made it with the Ltd Edition Lemon and Passionfruit Muller Light - to die for!!! :)

**update** already 0.5 a pound into my target... lol. definitely completely going for it this week. RAAWR!!!!!

Have you tried butternut squash or sweet potato?

A twirl is making my mouth water...but really it is time for bed so I will just go to sleep and dream about chocolate for now. Until tomorrow afternoon, that is. Think of mee at about 5.30, munching on a choccy bar tomorrow. :) Twirls are 11.5 - just had a peek in my book.

Are mug shots free?! :-)

Oh wow Crunchie - yay!!! Aaagh its going to be a nightmare to decide now :-P Chocaholics unite! lol

I'm trying to decide what to have after WI tomorrow. I want something "proper" but that will still fit comfortably into my syns... I usually have between 5 and 11 a day. So far the best ideas i've had are: Walnut Whip: 8.5 syns 2 finger Kit Kat: 5.5 syns It's all a bit dissapointing :(...

Hello! Welcome to the forum - tis very helpful and friendly. :)

Ooh! Just looked in my book, and you can have 6 Ryvita Wholegrain. Cant see 7 of anything though...

You can have 4 Dark Rye as a healthy B. :)

Sunday 2nd November It's a red day today. Meh. Boring. No cous cous cake!!! Bacon, egg, tomato, mushrooms 4 sausages (4 syns) 2tbspns tomato ketchup (2 syns) 350ml soya milk (HEX A) soya yog, raspberries turkey ham 2 slices wholemeal Nimble (HEX B) lettuce 3 dairylea light triangles (HEX A)...

You can get soya milks enriched with B12 too :) and Marmite is a source.... but if you don't like Marmite then that is a bad suggestion, lol. Hope you feel better soon. Perhaps the walk will help :) It's lovely and cold - perfect weather for getting all wrapped up and going for a brisk stroll.

Haha, brill :) I get it now. On with the fat-busting!!!

Aw, why do you feel crappy, Treats?

What does FBI stand for, by the way?

Haha I suppose I am now an xbox girl :rolleyes: Sounds a bit sad, eh? Might keep it quiet from now on :p Wow games on minimins! Yaaay!

I popped into Asda yesterday for a nosy after reading this thread and I got myself a hoodie and a sports bra for £16. BARGAINS! :)

I just bought myself an Xbox yesterday and it's been FAB for taking my mind off food :-D Yay for games!!! lol p.s. Where is this arcade ye speak of?

Hairy beans! Hahahahaha. I'm sure spaghetti hoops would be nice in it too. Possibly not quite as filling, but give it a try and let us know how it turns out :)

Wow TOE, you're doing really well - keep up the good work! :-D

I agree with Emski and rainbow - plan what you're having and maybe try some new recipes. It's a new day and whatever has happened has happened. Just brush it aside and carry on. :) Also, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! If you feel like crap, then give yourself permission to go and lie down and...

Ooh ooh me too! I'd like to lose 6lbs this month.

Wow! I love the idea of taking a photo food-diary...although it would get a bit tedious carrying the camera around all day and taking photos of EVERYTHING. I definitely notice a difference when I keep a food diary. If I stop recording everything then I tend to forget what Healthy Extras I...

Now, which sausages are syn-free? I bought Bowyers less than 5% fat ones...alas they are 1 syn each.

Hmmmm the only thing i've ever made with polenta was a pie sortof thing... and it wasn't very nice at all :( If you have the ready-made polenta then you could just cut it into slices and fry it in frylight. Sorry I cant help on the syn-side of things... Good luck!

Oh! You asked if anyone had eaten any delicious free meals? Well, this morning I made the most BEAUUUTIFUL Slimming World fry up :) Lots of bacon A frylighted egg grilled cherry tomatoes frylighted mushrooms and a tbspn of tomato ketchup (1syn) Soo good. Especially if you have it with a cup...

How did I miss this thread!? I've been 100%ing it this past week... I have been writing everything down, planned my weeks meals in advance, and stayed under 11syns. :) It's weigh-in day tomorrow afternoon so i'll let you know how I get on!!!

After last week's crazy fart-a-thon I think I have discovered the source of my problem!! It is either Eating fruit before bed Drinking cows milk Having only green days Because this week I changed to unsweetened soya milk, have only been eating fruit at breakfast time/morning snack and have...

I was going to say something - HONEST!!! I'm impressed with your Hallowe'en ness, lol. Did you go to a fancy dress party last night or something?

Ahh sounds lovely :) I sat in bed with the laptop today - have a horrible amount of work that needs done for Monday morning :( Boohoo woe is me. Keep resting Emski!

Yes mum! lol. I had my 227g of potato wedges as a HEX B, and I had the tofu scramble on toast! Lol, forgot to mention that bit. I'm having a green day today and it's been much more satisfying because I had a massive jug of lentil soup in the fridge. Mmmm, homemade soup.

Oh, and i looked up in the book and you CAN eat your syns outside of meals :) yay!

Woo, go Mod-Karen! p.s. Thankye Emsi... I have a better idea of it now.

Yeah, I think the day before yesterday I didn't eat very much, so perhaps Tuesday's hunger spilled over into yesterday too... lol

This is what I ate yesterday Breakfast= Tofu scramble + cherry tomatoes an apple Lunch= Tuna mayo and lots of salad veg a clementine Dinner= 2 turkey kebabs and 227g potato wedges (home made, skins on) Snacks= 3 yoghurts, a curly wurly, 3 slices bacon, 4 gummy bears, a pack of smoked salmon...

What does O/T stand for?

Running up three flights of stairs and still being able to speak at the top :) oh, and being full of energy all day!

I'm going to go and have a look in my book... :) Does the syn thing mean that the syns would come from a MEAL, and not from snacks... because the snacks are all Superfree yeah?

Bigchap's right - Morrisons should have some in stock :) All hail Morrisons!

The Cambridge Diet sounds really scary!!!

Don't forget all the amazing quorn stuff you can have on Red days. :) They are free on Green too, which means you can eat "neutral" till tea time and then have whatever you fancy for tea. i.e. Loads of pasta for a green dinner, or a big bacon sandwich/a steak or something. Tofu is good too...

All that yummy American food is making my mouth water. No wonder so many Americans are obese!!!

I think we should all put our hands over our ears and sing really loudly. LA LA LA LA COUS COUS CAKE IS FREEE LA LA LA LAAA

Karen's suggestions are spot-on. I had a really dodgy weekend last weekend where the same thing happened - I had about 2 black days, lol. Gained a pound, but this week I am totally back on plan and really enjoying it because I have been really organized. I think making a meal plan by getting...

Wednesday the 29th October Scrambled tofu with cherry tomatoes, soy sauce and black pepper. 2 slices Nimble (HEX B) Apple 500ml Diet Coke Tuna in brine 1 tbspn Hellman's light mayo (2 SYNS) Loads of yummy salad veg Danone lasting satisfaction kiwi 42g 1/2 fat cheese (HEX A) 2 dark rye Ryvita...

I'm a student! Calm down calm down! lol. :) Been thinking of buying a countdown though... save some pennies. Anyone else bought a countdown?

**Cue everyone wailing and stabbing StaceyUK**

Aah! Thank goodness i'm not the only one sitting there cringeing during class. It's paaiinful. I only stay because I feel like i've paid the £4.25 and I want to squeeze every pennies-worth out of my membership :-P These boards are more informative than any group could ever be!!!

Morrisons: BOGOF on tofu!!! I love tofu... mmmm I bought 4 packs of it, lol. My local butcher: I bought 170g of lean minced beef (2 healthy extra B choices on a Green day) and it only cost me 77pence!!!! The Market: 1 cauliflower, 3 carrots, 3 tomatoes, 2 sweet potatoes, 2 potatoes, 1 red...

Wow loobylou, this looks really similar to the student menu... i wonder if i'll lose 4lbs!?!

Tuesday the 28th October 2 slices of Nimble wholemeal bread a banana 2 apples 500ml diet coke a dash of soy milk 85g (raw weight) lean minced beef pastaaa tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms bunch of grapes sugarfree squash It's been such a deliciously cheap day!

It's up to you really, but everyone who loses (and keeps off!) the weight says that staying to class is a major factor in their success. :)

I was stuck for Red-Day inspiration when I first started... but I think now i'm getting to grips with it - PLUS I tend to feel fuller on red days. Mmmm meat. p.s. Morrisons are doing a BOGOF on tofu, which is superfree! (and really good for you)

So far it's been brill! Knowing I have my whole week's food planned makes me feel really calm. PHEW.

My consultant told me to wait 'till i'd got my head around the red and green days before I even look at the Mix 2 Match plan... ...ayeee

This week i'm going to follow the sample 7-day student plan. Reasons for doing soo: I never know what to eat on red days, but I DO want to have a couple. Last week I wasted a lot of food. Last week I ate waay too many syns and gained a pound. This weekend i'm not going home so I am going to...

I vary mine - sometimes I have the full 15, sometimes I completely forget about syns altogether! (not very often though! lol) Mmm curly wurlies... *drool*

Yaay - exciting!

I've been thinking, all these recipes sound really nice BUT it would be even cooler to SEE what everyone has been making. I get back to uni tomorrow (where my digital camera is) so I can start posting my recipe photos then... anyone interested?

I just lost my couscous cake virginity and it was SOOO GOOOOD!!! Whoever invented this deserves a medal!! Mmmmm...

Go team Mindy!!! lol I love all the cooking :) It's nice to cook something from scratch and KNOW that it is totally healthy and filling. I've just started uni and i'm already know as "the one that cooks" in my flat, lol. No ready meals for meee!

What stopped me losing weight before? I think it was a mixture of denying that I was overweight... and feeling a bit scared of losing weight... and also the fact that I luuurve chocolate. LOL. The turning point was discovering Slimming World (my sister told me about it) and realising that you...

OH! I forgot to mention the day that I took a massive lunchbox of free (used milk from healthy A) rice pudding!!! LOL. That was a taaasty lunch :)

SOMERFIELD 5 Muller Lights for £1 2 for £2 on 3litre bottles of Diet Coke :-D

There's a sad floppy leek in my fridge just waiting to be turned into this recipe, lol.

Mixed herbs in my tomatoey sauces Cinammon on porridge (!!! YUM !!!) Cumin in curries Chilli powder in frittatas/bean burgers Nutmeg in my rice pudding... mmmm Chinese 5 Spice is lovely in stirfries :) As for fresh herbs, my ultimate favourite is basil. Tastes lovely and makes the food look...

Ok, there's probably already been a million "what should I take for lunch?" threads... but I thought another one couldn't hurt :) Any ideas? I like cooking stuff the night before, and I like seasonal veg. Also...cheap is good. Student budget an' all that. Here's the kind of things i've...

I'd say I relax on a day of the weekend. Seems a waste of effort to eat whatever on a Monday, aand I don't get weighed till the evening so the day is almost over anyway :) There was a lady in my class who actually phoned the chinese to place her order JUST after she got weighed. LOL it was...

OMG, Sunbites taste sooo gooood. *drools all over the keyboard*

Unfortunately not! Didn't take my camera out with me *DOH* will see if any of my friends tag me in the dreaded Facebook photos, lol.

Hahahaaaa that was hilarious. Never heard it before! :-D

I love the dresses in New Look! This summer I bought two from there in size 16... and I was a size 10 before I went to Holland last year. (Blame the cheese and bread and chocolate!!!) I think my goal is to be a comfy size 12 - i'm currently back into my size 14 clothes so I might even end up...

Gaww :) Thankyou everyone - your comments really helped me feel better. I think I was just bloated, and it turned out I already HAD the right pair of shoes - I just hadn't tried them on. :) What a difference a day makes, eh? -I got loads of nice compliments on my dress -I had a great...

I'm going home tomorrow (i'm at university at the mo) and there's a massive birthday party...followed by clubbing :) Looking forward to seeing all my friends and my boyfriend, but not looking forward to all the syns!

Today went totally wrong. Argh. I feel really stressed out because I have to get an early bus tomorrow morning and there's a party tomorrow night...and i'm worried I'll look horrible in my dress. Seeing old friends etc. :( I haven't found the right pair of shoes to go with it yet either...

I'm planning to make that now so I can take it for lunch tomorrow. I'm definitely in the same boat syn-wise. Big night out tomorrow too! Oh well... :-D

GO FOR IT! My consultant gets weighed every week and I like it because it feels like everyone is in the same boat. :-) She comes up with really good recipe ideas. I think the main thing with consultants is being friendly and supportive. Weight doesn't affect either of those things. So long...

Ahh that makes sense. I've ONLY been on green days this week! LOL. Might invest in some chicken and bacon today then.... :)

Wow well done! You're doing so well :-D I have a really bad memory... if I didn't write a food diary it'd be like "oops! I accidentally tripped and fell and 1kg of chocolate fell in my mouth...." haha. Ok, maybe not that bad... but I find it tricky to keep track of Healthy Extras and...

Lol, i'm embarrassed to ask but since everyone is so friendly and helpfuuul I was wondering if anyone else had a lot of gas in the first couple of weeks of Slimming World? I've heard that eating fruit with other food can cause gas... so i'm going to eat fruit by itself for a week to see if that...

Thankyou for all the helpful info! I didn't know that about water - I just knew it was "healthy" NOW i know WHY! :) As for the free foods, i've noticed that the more free food I eat, the less syns I eat and the less I think about food. I'm off to have a big free breakfast :-P

BARGAIN ALERT! I just got a jar of Candarel from Pound Land for... £1!

Arg they must be free, surely!? Pasta = free, Frylight = free, salt = free.... where are these imaginary syns coming from, EH!?!!? Please say they're free! I had a plateful last night :-P

:-) YAY!

Do you think that eating more free food speeds up your weight loss? I still feel a bit guilty for never feeling hungry... it's strange!

I think they were in the oven for about 10 minutes? I was reading a book and drinking a cup of tea though... so it might have been longer, lol. Just keep checking on them :)

I just had Emski's microwaved SW chips with some mushy peas and it was divine. :) I highly recommend it. Yum yum yum. (and it was really quick!)

we're on our kneeees

Yeah, you heard right.... I said CRISPS!! You will need: Lasagne sheets (Supermarket's own brand work best) Frylight Salt Preheat the oven to 200degrees Boil the lasagne until it is all floppy. Flop it out of the pan, and cut into squares. Lie the pasta on a clean teatowel to dry it a...

I am actually going to go and make some now. Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

OMG Emski, you LEGEND!!! That sounds like a much more student-friendly version :-D

I tried to make slimming world chips last week - but they came out looking all white and not-crispy. I chopped them up, par-boiled them, let them dry a bit on the windowsill (on a plate, obviously...lol) roughed them up a little bit in the pan, and then put them on a baking tray lined with foil...

The tension is killing me!!!!!!

Ohh man they have nutella in them... I know EXACTLY what'd happen to the leftover nutella. Hmmmm...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :-D I'm hoping to get my 1/2 stone award soon... only 3lbs away. Glad to hear you are doing so well. Woop woop woop!

Looks like Emski is our chocolate expert!! Wahooo! Curly Wurlies are my favourites. I like it when they're cold and you can nibble the chocolate off first. LOL.

I went through the list of them and scribbled down the ones i liked the sound of most. *ehem* Melon Cauliflower Peas mushy peas QUORN!!!! raspberries rhubarb sweet potato Mmmmm such yummy food. I want to try a baked sweet potato, topped with baked beans. That'd be a super super slimming...

Helloo! Welcome to the forum :) It's great here - check out the recipes bit... there are things like cous cous cake and other weird and wonderful free and yummy stuff to try out. Congratulations on your weight loss so far! You're doing sooooperly.

Different fruits all chopped up, with yoghurt poured over is delicious - but yeah I agree that it doesn't have the filling-power of Weetabix!!!

I'm going to a party on Saturday night... HOWEVER I think I can still make it through quite healthily. It'll be vodka and Diet Coke for drinks, and then just loads of lovely free food on saturday and sunday to nurse my hangover, lol. PASTAAA! I'm off on Friday so I might have a cooking sesh...

I cant see any photos of dresses.... how do I get to them?

Ooooh, we got little tasters of them on Monday at class too. One word: YUM!!!

mmmm. Can you post me some please? :-P teeheee

Eek I bet you are so excited about Disneyland. Some ladies from my group are going there next year too! Shpoooky. p.s. Your food diary has given me some good ideas (and made me want some smoked salmon...lol) thanks!

Thought i'd give this a try... as writing stuff down seems to make a massive difference. Breakfast 2 weetabix (Healthy B) natural yoghurt frozen summer berries Lunch Quorn bolognese + pasta Dinner Can of spaghetti 28g cheese (healthy A) 2 quorn sausages Snacks Ryvita Minis (Healthy B) kiwi...

mmmm. Speaking of broccoli... there's a really nice potato and cheese bake recipe in the new SW Magazine. I might give it a try tonight. Will let ye all know how scrumptious it is :) xxx

Bananas are sooo good. Why not do an experiement with yourself; eat loads of bananas one week, and then eat NO bananas another week. If you lose more weight on the non-banana week then you will know that bananas have an impact on your weightloss. :) hope that helps

Morrisons 3 for £1 on their EatSmart virtually fat free yoghurts. (They taste good, too... lol)

Did you type in the weight of each portion (i.e. the weight of each slice of bread). If I remember correctly there's a special little space to put the weight of each portion. :) That should sort it. No bread can possibly be 39 for a slice. Jeebus!

They fill you up so much, who cares if they are 500 kcals!?!? And yeah, they're free. I don't even look at calories anymore. Pfffft.

Yaay! My first ever sticker :-) and lots of free fruit and a pasta 'n' sauce packet!!! I only lost 1lb too. Wayheyyyy. That's 4lbs off so far. I am one stone away from my Club 10 award. BRRIING IT ONNNN! :D:D:D

I just had a curly wurly, washed down with a can of Pepsi Max. *DROOL*

My boyfriend bought loads of chocolate this weekend when we were watching films. FATAL! Next time I am just going to be like "OY, i'm eating healthily... can you just wait and have the chocolate when I go back to uni please?" Lol. I am an evil girlfriend. Bwahahaa

I know EXACTLY what you mean nickinonicks! I'm a student and i'm having to stick to green days because I cant afford to buy meat. I get my eggs from the local fruit+veg shop because its only 99p for 10 eggs (!!!) Rice is good... and pasta. I put my bread in the freezer so it lasts longer and...

If you're worried about cholesterol then perhaps eat less of the yolks. I start to feel sick if I eat too many eggs. Yeurgh.

Cool :) I think eating whatever whenever makes you eat less overall... you feel less deprived that way. *nods*

Ohh horrid, I hope you are feeling better. I had a UTI a couple of months ago and thought it was flu! I was in bed for about a week, until going to the doctor. Good ol' antibiotics saved the day. *get-well hugs to you!*

For instance, I heard my consultant say that she never has more than one healthy extra at a time... Anyone else have little "quirks" like this? :rolleyes: I try to eat mainly free/superfree food in the morning and at lunch time, so that I can eat whatever I want for tea, and have syns late...

I got this recipe in a little booklet that had a voucher for a free Ltd Edition Lemon and Passionfruit Muller Light at the back :) RASPBERRY COBBLER serves 4 Syns per serving= 5.5 on both days 2plain scones, halved 2x200g pot mullerlight raspberry & cranberry yoghurt 113g/4oz fresh...

Ooooh! I'm excited now... cant wait till class on monday night. I've ordered the 100 Comfort Foods recipe book too. Lots of goodies in there, and lots are free!

Eeh, good luck! :) This website is brill for finding new recipes and asking questions etc.

You're making me hungry - stop it! Lol. Mmmm. I will DEFINITELY look out for it next time i'm shopping. I've been wanting Philadelphia, but not the syns. How much did it cost?

Woah! Congratulations!!! My sister followed Slimming World whilst pregnant and continued when she was breast feeding. It's really healthy so i'd say go for it! Plus, I think you get more healthy extras :) mmm yummy. Lots of cheese! Woo!

We are the Slimming World posse :-P

Hmmm sounds lovely! I really like cottage cheese - especially the stuff with pinapple in it. Morrisons EatSmart one is free on both days. YAY!

You need 50 posts for a pic?!? I thought it was 20 :( Doh.

Maybe if you complain you'll get a voucher out of it, but I doubt they'll change the size of their seats. More seats = more money, like someone already said. Boo :(

You are so inspirational :-D WOOP!!

I lost 3lbs and I was really surprised because at the weekend I drank lots of vodka... I do walk a lot though so perhaps that made the difference. :)

p.s. I tried a new variation for my Pasta n Sauce today. Cheese Leek and Ham = 1syn per pack (not bad, cos it tastes lovely) 1 quorn sausage 1/2 can sweetcorn -Boil the water, add the Pasta n Sauce packet.... let it bubble for a while. -Defrost the sausage in the microwave, or fry it in fry...

I find Red days really challenging too, Moonshine. I had a couple but I'm a student so I found it really expensive, and I didn't really have much available to nibble on. Green days RULE!

Aw thanks :) I'll have a low syn day tomorrow - and I've given the Mars Bars away!!! They were FAR TOO addictive, lol.

Mars Bar minis (19.7grams) are 4.5 syns... French Fries = 4syns Curly Wurly = 6syns mmmm

I bought a multi pack of Mars Bar Minis today, thinking that they were 2syns each... ...after eating 4 (8 syns, or so I thought) I looked them up on the syns calculator and they are actually 4.5 each. AAAGH! I;ve eaten loads of syns today now. GAH. Really annoyed now :( Boohoo.

Cool :) thanks for the replies - I'll ask my consultant on Monday. It's great walking; saves money, and wakes you up in the morning!

Wow! Glad to see i'm not the only pasta-n-sauce fan :-D All these quiche recipes sound delicious. I'm writing them down so I can have a go at cooking them tomorrow! It's great cooking something that can be eaten hot and cold. Frittata and quiche and pasta salads make Green days lovely. :)

Yeah I think the macaroni cheese one has syns...

Pasta n Sauce is the best thing EVER on a green day when i'm in a rush. Adding a tin of sweetcorn makes it taste even nicer :) Any other ideas for jazzing up a sachet of the already-lovely Pasta n Sauce? *mouth is watering*

I've been at Slimming World for one week now (lost 3lbs :D) and I am a bit confused about Body Magic. At the moment I am walking 55 minutes, 4 times a week. Do I just need to record that for a month to automatically get a sticker? And...when I want to progress to the next bit, do I just...

I saw some in Wilkinson! :)
