Hello Just rejoined SW today. I wondered whether anyone else eats the Aldi maple and pecan crunch cereal? I looked it up on lifeline online and it says 6 syns. But I'm not sure what weight of the cereal that is for? A long shot, but I don't suppose its a HExB is it??? Thanks in advance x

Maybe reheat it and have it for lunch with some salad?

I make stir fry with Chinese 5 spice, a splash of soy sauce and just some water to give it some "sauce". We always have a bag of stir fry mixed veg in freezer, which u just throw in, so no chopping veg! Sometimes make it with quorn pieces too which again cooks from frozen so it is really...

Well done u x

I'm on 1000, and I've been having: Oat so simple for breakfast Salad leaves and a bar for lunch Protein/veg meal for evening meal Shake about 9pm

Oh sorry to hear u've not been too good. And congrats on staying 100% this far, what an achievement! I was only looking to lose about 1stone 4 to get to helthy BMI. Had to order wedding dress at start of the month so just wanted to shift the weight. Short sharp shock sort of thing. So I did SS...

Ok let's get this team back off the ground! An update on me... Have been working up through plans and I'm now on 1000 Cal. Not done it 100% this week if i'm honest. Will see what weigh in brings this week! I've just gone back to work today, it was our half term last week. Busy busy, as ever...

I'm here too! X

Hello NikkiNack, I'm NickyNoc! Welcome to the forum, everyone is very supportive on here and always on hand if u need support. Good luck with CD, it's hard the first few days but once u break the back of it and u r in a routine it could not be easier. There is no thinking, no decisions to...

Ah Deb it's fab!! I am getting married this July. I've picked the dress but am ordering it/getting measured next weekend. That's why I've been CDing for few weeks. Wanted to get the weight off before being measured rather than the dress needing loads of alterations. Enjoy today. Do ur hair nice...

Ah Jay it must be disheartening having been so good. Let's hope u see a giant loss next week to make up for it. Found out today that I got the job, so that's good news! Going to treat myself to a glass of wine tonight. Feels naughty but it's only 1 glass... As long as I get back on it straight...

How has week 3 weigh in gone Jay? As u know we weigh in on same day, so I was there this morning. The official weigh in says I've lost 1st 1lb in 3 weeks. 3 inches from waist, 1.5 from thighs, 1.5 from hips. So I am really happy with that. Also makes BMI 25.2 which is SOOO close to being healthy...

Hi everyone. Just updated my page on the spreadsheet with my loss for this week (unofficial as on own scales, CDC weigh in on Wed) and lost 3.5lb, so 13lb total now in just under 3 weeks. Can see a huge difference now, wearin clothes that have been too small, and lots of comments off work...

Wow 17lb is fantastic!! I'm 10 and quarter lb down on my first 2 weeks. Aim was to shift 18lb so hopefully just another couple of weeks on SS and I'll be there. Plan to do the full step by step though coz as u say I don't want to pile straight back on. Just about to have my tea time bar, was...

I keep checking back and there are no new posts on our teams thread. Come on team, let's not fizzle out!! How has everyones week been? My friend had a Jamie Oliver party last night. I had a glass of diet coke, while everyone else was on wine, and there were nibbles EVERYWHERE and I didn't...

Ah thank you for your reply. Yes I will make sure I drink plenty today. Weigh in with CDC is not till Wednesday morning so hopefully it won't have too big an impact on loss! X

It's been quiet on here these last few days! Just thought I'd give an update on me. Had an excited moment on Friday morning when my work pants were loads too big around my waist!! Last night had my biggest challenge so far. Out with a party of 80 at a function in a hotel. 3 course sit down...

I wonder if some people get confused as Cambridge recommend 4 pints of water (which is just over 2 litres) but lots of people I see are aiming for 4 LITRES a day, which is double. I might be wrong, it may just be personal choice to increase intake as I know it is supposed to have a positive...

Well done everyone! Keep up the motivation x

It must be the day for it as I did the same this morning. I'd been up about 40 mins had been in shower etc, but then when drying my hair went very feint feeling and had to sit down. If i hadn't I would certainly have hit the deck. Keep trying to drink more water, I'm up to 1.5litres. Just had...

Wow great losses girls! Feeling a bit more "normal" this morning, but my head is not 100% with me...

I've weighed myself today for the team weigh in, and have lost 6.5lb, which I am made up with. However official weigh in not till Wednesday eve so may have lost a touch more by then. I have updated the spreadsheet with my loss. I feel very light headed today. I had to sit down twice as I...

Have stayed on track with diet today. Had a little emotional wobble before but seems to have passed (my OH took the full force of my 'wobble' but kissed and made up!!) hope everyone else still managing to keep it up. Look forward to seeing everyones losses on team weigh in tomorrow!

Yay, my ketostix say ketosis is here!! Woke up early today and feel full of beans. Hope I keep feeling this way x

What does everyone think, have I reached ketosis? This afternoon I had a bit of a headache and felt a bit lightheaded. By 4pm i felt really quite hungry and tired for the first time since I started, and as I was home alone I took myself off to bed. I woke up feeling much better after an hours...

Thank you jayellekay. I don't have a pic of the dress, but it is lovely and SO flattering. It rouches (sp) quite dramatically across the front of the stomach and makes me look flat!! The tie up backs make them fit in all the right places. My weight is carried on my lower stomach (my actual...

Hi everyone. Just a little update from me. Day 2 and have stuck to it 100%. A little headahe but soon went with paracetamol. As an extra little incentive I've chosen my wedding dress today!! Have to go for measurements at the end of the month, hence doing CD now. I had a dream last night that...

Thanks for the warm welcome to the team! 1st day going well. I'm v tall so get 4 packs a day, so I've had breakfast and dinner, have my leek and pot soup in my hand as we 'speak' for my tea. So still got one pack to go for supper. I've felt ok today, a little hungry but not excessively. Hope...

Hi everyone Is there a place available in this team? I love the feeling of support here, and I LOVE your spreadsheet - I like organisation!! I saw my CDC for the first time yesterday evening, and started there and then. I'd been carb free for the previous 2 days, and I had only had one muller...

Hi all. Been a member before when doing slimming world. Have lurked around the CD forum for while but never posted here before, but I'd like to ask your opinions please? I am seriously thinking about CD as am getting married in July and just want to shift this excess weight. I need to order...

How weird is this, because out of the blue a marrow appeared on our kitchen table this weekend... and there is has stayed coz nobody has a clue what to do with it! They are obviously in season, coz they seem to be popping up everywhere! I'll be watch too to see what other people suggest, but I...

Hi All I bought a sachet of Asda Meat Free Sausage Mix the other day. Has anyone ever tried this before? It's like a dried mix that you add water to. I was thinking of using it in the "chicken cake" which was being talked about on here a week or two ago. The recipe says to skin some syn...

Hi Everyone! Just added my weight loss of 2lb from yesterday's weigh in. It's great to see how many people have joined in with this challenge! Let all make sure EVERY ONE OF US sticks to it and stays on track! xxx CharlotteGrace1 - 21lbs - 0lbs lost so far Byron - 35lbs - 0lbs lost so...

Hi all Today, for the first time, I went to a different meeting to the one I normally do. Same place, same leader, just a different time and day, and therefore obviously different members. I have to admit I didn't stay, I just got weighed, so maybe not a fair trial really... but I noticed...

That sounds lovely squiddie, I'm going to try that for my tea tonight!

Lets go for it, I'd like to loose a stone and a half by Christmas. I've been so close to giving up this week. Dare I say I was considering a month of Cambridge Diet to just shift this weight. So I had a good talk to myself last night - I like my food way too much to do Cambridge anyway, and...

Lots of great ideas, thanks guys. Think I'll try sweetening it and having it with a dessert.

Hi everyone Have bought a pot of "Total 0%" as I keep hearing it mentioned, and now I have gone completely blank! Any suggestions as to what I could make with it?

I too do the carbonara with Quark - cook your pasta, drain off the water and return the pasta to the hot pan. Whist up 2 or 3 eggs and stir immediately through the pasta so the heat of the pasta cooks the eggs, and then stir your tub of quark in to the eggy pasta. You can also add bacon or ham...

Just had my first weigh in today, after 6 days on SF, and I've lost 4lb! I'm really pleased with that! :)

Today I've had Breakfast: vanilla shake Lunch: Strawberry shake Tea: Grilled chicken in pitta bread with lettuce, extra light mayo and sweet chilli sauce. And a glass of rose wine. I'm still on my first week of slimfast, and I'm seeing how I get on without the snacks which you are allowed to...

I'm new to this and I bought the vanilla and choc. The vanilla is MUCH nicer, the chocolate one mixes to a very thin shake, and does not taste anything like as good!

Hi Sarah I started this Tuesday, so were are new to this together! Maybe we could buddy each other through this? Any moral support very welcome!!

Thank you for your messages! Yeah, I thought the Asda was a bargain. The tins were £5.50 in Boots, and £4.50 in Asda. I took two to the check out and they scanned at two for £7. It didn't say that on the shelf, so I was made up. Certainly beets Boots prices! First day had been quite...

Hi Everyone! I've just started SF today, anyone else here starting with me? I've got 3st to lose. Just for info - the tins of slimfast at 2 for £7 in Asda!!
