    What makes a good group?

    I totally agree! We are all there for the same reason so there's nothing to be shy/nervous about! Although I won't deny, I hate when my turn comes on image therapy as I hate the 'all eyes on me' thing, and my usual loud bubbly self goes into this quiet reserved don't want to speak thing! Yet...

    The Walking Dead

    It was only thru googling the book series that I realised why michone had the two walkers in chains! With the true blood I started off reading the books, got to about the 6th, then watched the first few series of true blood, characters weren't how I imagined, the tv series wasn't following the...

    Minkys slinky mission!

    I totally agree with you about us having to live aswel as get to our goal, iv never really set a time limit on my weightloss, just starting it and making the effort in getting there is a good enough achievement for anyone! Although, I won't deny, the sooner I can be thin the better, but there's...

    The Walking Dead

    Yes iv heard the only 'invinceable' ones are Rick & Carl! If I knew of the book series before the program I would of read the books, but I won't be able get into them now! I made that mistake with Sookie Stackhouse & True Blood!

    Recommend a book!!!

    I'm on the 4th of the shopaholic series at the mo (shopaholic & sister) and as much as I loved the first 2, the wedding one really annoyed me and this one us too! Becky Bloomwoods lies and over active imagination are so far fetched I would be worried about her mental health if she was a friend...

    Help cooking a chicken!!!!

    Thankyou, i was worried incase leaving the slow cooker on dry as such with not putting fluids in would break it or something. I will give it a go, and make balls of foil so the fat runs off. Another question - I'm sounding so dumb aren't i - which side do I cook it? Google says breast side...

    Just joined slimming world, but so confused!

    why did your consultant tell you to do red/green? Usually they trust extra easy upon us! Especially as it's easier for families. I don't like red/green , I have tried them and just found myself hungrier and craving the wrong things. But there are people out there who much prefer the old method...

    Green tea, does it help?

    Always had the impression caffeine was bad for you! Never looked at it as speeding up the metabolism but then again, I suppose it does give you the energy boost doesn't it!

    Green tea, does it help?

    I didn't know it gave nice hair/skin! Iv not noticed anything anyway! Speaking of skin, I have become spottier since SW, iv googled before now and came across articles saying it's the toxins escaping from the body - I wish they'd hurry up and escape! I'd much prefer them escaping thru my...

    Green tea, does it help?

    Since doing SW, I cut out milk in my drinks, at first it was a struggle but iv got used to it now and can't have milk in my drinks at all! In the past 6 months, I have started drinking green tea. After experimenting with numerous different brands, iv found clipper green tea with lemon to be my...

    Warburtons HexB

    I love the great white bread. But have only eaten it when having an off day, never used it when on plan. My consultant said its 1 round is 1 hexb plus 1 syn. But with it not being on the site or in any books I'm a bit iffy as to use it incase I end up sabotaging myself! Do you use it often and...

    thankyou, and well done to you too on your losses with WW. It is hard to adjust from WW to SW, mainly because you can eat so much!

    Warburtons HexB

    OK, so this morning I'm browsing a popular networking site when I come across a post on a SW group I follow, it was a pic if 3 slices of warburtons wholemeal bread on a set of scales, she said that even the 3 slices were still less than 60g so she was going to have 4 and cut off the excess...

    Like the OP said, I'm obsessed with my kindle too, and love reading, yet I need to start reading different things! I love auto/biographys stories about traumatic events where they turn their lives around, such as the cathy glass and tory Hayden books. I also love vampire thriller and highly...

    What's everyone reading at the moment?

    I'm currently on the 3rd book in the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, really enjoyed the previous two but this one I'm finding quite a pain in this backside, or should I say Becky (the main character) is a pain in the backside!

    What is your favourite childhood movie?

    Annie! I absolutely love it & still do! I wore out numerous videos of it as a kid, then when I was in my late teens my mum managed to get me the DVD! Iv also seen the show of it in the theatre, although I was very disappointed in the performance as they changed the story!

    Who killed lucy beale?

    What's with Jay? Why was he on the bus? And if he's killed Lucy what's his motive? I have no idea who it could be to be honest, I did think Peter! Jealous sibling rivalry gone too far maybe? But iv also read it's the undertaker, apparently it comes out he's killed before or something? I'm hating...

    Breakfast ideas please?

    I don't know about anybody else but I struggle with what to eat for breakfast and always end up eating my HEX's - milk with porridge/weetabix/puffed wheat or cheese on wholemeal toast - as breakfast so I'm then limited to having certain recipes as main meals - burger in a bap, pitta bread pizza...

    how often do you weigh yourself?

    My scales are in my bathroom and every morning after the first toilet business I weigh myself! My scales are 2lb out of sw so I always know what I'm going to be there! It's a nightmare and I know I really shouldn't do it but iv become addicted! The hubby did hide the scales but I found them!
