Nice going purpleorc, 6 stone is amazing :) I found my old SW book the other day which is from around 2014/15 and it was sad to read because I'd done so well and lost more than 2 stone which was about half way to my target - it all went out the window unfortunately - we moved house and didn't...

Hi - how are you getting on? I'm back on it after a break of about 4 years. I'm 2 weeks in and 8lb down, which is encouraging (started on a SP week and gradually introduced small portions of potatoes, rice etc). I needed the SP boost to get started this time :)

I know this is an old thread, but in case anyone else is doing this, I'm about to start SW again from keto. Lost 8lb on keto and it was looking good and then stalled for nearly 2 months. It's ridiculous, skipping out on all the things I like and sticking at the same weight - very demoralising...

When I can get it together (which isn't often!) I like to make a frittata or crustless quiche kind of thing the day before and take that in. It's nice hot or cold and it's good because it saves the HE B for later in the day.

T'is true - I have a pair of size 18 jeans from M&S and I haven't even bothered trying them on yet this summer as I know they will be too tight.............however, I also have a pair of size 16 M&S jeans from a different range which fit me fine! I always find Primarni to be a bit on the small...

Thanks for this - I'll bump it up to the top in case anyone has forgotten (like me, as I've been off plan for a while)

We were always told at class that yes you could save up your syns. You're given 105 a week and as and when you use them during that week is up to you. I suppose different SW consultants may disagree on this, but ours seemed to think it was OK. It didn't seem to affect my weight loss at the...

I haven't made this yet and it might not work at all, but I'm thinking of trying to cook a dahl loaf kind of thing. I'd just use a dahl recipe I already make and try and cook it a bit drier. I did a bit of googling around and people have made things like this, but they usually seem to add...

I'm going to attempt to start SW again without a class (the class in my area isn't at a suitable time). I have done it before though and have a few of the recipe books. You might be able to find some recipe books online (maybe Ebay) which would help you. Also try the SW website and give...

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm not doing well on it unfortunately - I'm thinking of going back on slimming world. Glad it has worked for you :)

How are you getting on Jackie? I started 5.2 last week but ended up only doing 1 day instead of 2. This week I'm doing today fasting and hoping to do Wednesday too. Too early to see how the scales will be yet, but I've got a microwave meal for when I get in as I can calorie count it and can...

Pasta bake with meatballs is nice. I usually make my own using low fat minced beef, but I think Iceland are doing meatballs now (not sure what they're like). Then I make a pasta sauce with tomatoes etc and half cook pasta and mix it all together (can use cheese too if you have some from your...

I struggle with breakfast because I'm out of the house around 7am most days. I would like to avoid having my HE for breakfast and have it later in the day but most of the time end up doing that because it's easier to have something like porridge at work as we have a microwave. I would also...

I'm about to try and start SW from home too. I went to my last class about 6 months ago and I've moved to a village where the only class is at 7.30pm and I know I'll never get my act together to go out in those chilly evenings (the old class was on a Saturday morning and I was more motivated to...

Freddo frog chocolates are 5 syns each. If you like white chocolate, I discovered the other day that milky bars are only 3.5 syns (it's the small bar, you get about 5 in a pack - 12g I think).

Marks and Spencer Fuller Longer do some good ones - I had the pulled ham and mustard sauce today and it was only 2.5 syns (very tasty too) The Lochmuir Salmon are low - 1.5 syns or thereabouts (there are 2 or 3 different ones they do) Also the duck parpadelle is only about 2 syns and the duck...

I made this last week (with the chilli powder added). It was delicious

I can sympathise - we moved back to the UK from Singapore 2 years ago. Something like Slimming World can be hard there with all the different foods but there's a lot of good (and cheap) free food that you can have such as prawns, fruit and fresh veg. The hawker centres will be hard...
