After attending a 40th birthday party at the weekend and not really following the diet for 2 days surprised to have lost 1.3kg this week, now down to 152kg.

No loss is better than a gain?

Only a small loss this week down to 153.3kg

This picture explains my main issue with my diet at work, how to avoid "cake day".

Mix them with any fruit or try the overnight oats option for breakfast.

Hello

Tried this and it is really good for snacking Chickpea dahl loaf Slimming World - Syn free chickpea dahl loaf.... - The Diary of a Frugal FamilyThe Diary of a Frugal Family

Down to 153.6kg this week :)

It is healthy eating as well, big change from ready and frozen meals, our cooker hasn't been used as much in years :)

Thank you :)

Is there anything like rice cakes that are syn free or is it best to stick to fruit & yoghurt?

Well done on the weight lose to date. I'm doing it the other way around, I started exercising about 4-5 years ago at the gym, initially saw a good weight loss but it recently stalled, so I've started the SW Extra Easy to kick start it again. They advice from my gym is to do high intensity...

I'd say try and do both, what kind of diet are you on? I've not noticed any weakness in my weight lifting since starting my SW diet last month, I just try to schedule my meals so I eat 1-2 hours before the gym.

Yes you want to try a routine with high intensity interval training, with will raise your metabolism so you will continue to burn fat after you leave the gym.

My motivation is to support my wife who is also on the diet and also to reduce my BMI to a health level if I can. Also looking to lose weight to help with my powerlifting totals at the gym.

I used to by Rivercote bread mixes from Lidl and have a few packets left in the store cupboard. Does anyone know if the Sunflower, Rye and Farmhouse whole wheat ones count as healthy option bread allowance or a syn?

What's your go to snack food when you are feeling hungry? I'm mostly hitting the fruit bowl at the moment but after 4 weeks on SW diet I am getting a bit fed up of apples and bananas :D

I certainly notice more change of "shape" than weight loss to start with, trade off between losing fat and gaining muscle I suppose?

Down to 155.3kg at this weeks weigh in.

I didn't believe it either, how can you lose weight and still eat potatoes, pasts and rice?? Three weeks in now and I've lost 6.6kgs. I do notice more belly rumbling than I did before but just have some syn free fruit or yoghurt.

Thanks, I am getting on okay with SW, missing bread (used to eat a lot) and breakfast cereals, I'll have a look at that chocolate one :-) Third weigh in last Sunday, down to 157.4kg now :D

Thanks everyone, into the third week now, last week not as much of a drop down to 158.8kg now. Really craving chocolate and breakfast cereal at the moment lol

That is the ones I am using at the moment, not too bad when mixed with water or your milk healthy option.

Thank you :)

Two first yesterday, first weight in after starting the diet and my first powerlifting event. Good results in both :) I've lost 4kg in the first week and lifted a combined total of 500kg ( 1102lbs ) in the competition. So well pleased with the week :D

Thank you, I have seen a "diet" protein powder but it has more fat per 25g, which seems weird.

Wondering if gym style after workout whey protein powders are syns or can be included in your daily allowance? The nutritional information for the one I have used in the past is; Per 25g: Energy: 98.3Kcal Energy: 414.0kJ Protein (dry basis): 20.5g Protein (as-is): 19.6g Fat: 1.7g...

I've always been big even as a kid, but after my 20's and working in IT I really put on the pounds. About 4 years ago I joined a gym and started going 2 to 3 times a week, this made a big difference to my weight and I've dropped 8 inches of my waist with no modification to my diet, although I...

Thanks I'll do that.

Just to say Hi as I've just joined the forum. I'm looking to lose a lot of weight from my current 164kg, no time limit just an ongoing challenge.
