Umm Sw wedges with beans cheese sounds amazing!! What beans do you use? So going to try this! I love pasta n sauce packets and often have them with lots of extra veg! Or Sw egg fried rice!

Well done you!! That's motivation enough to stick with the plan and not care what anyone says! You're doing this for yourself and that's 6lbs you'll never see again!! Brilliant!!

You shouldn't have to show him your food diary on my fitness pal to prove anything! You are doing slimming world as a positive life style change not to be scrutinised! My other half loves slimming world food and he can't believe how much you can eat and what and still lose weight! For the the...

Hi there I've had a very wobbly start to this year and ended up putting on about 8-10lbs instead of losing them! Cry! ? But this last week got back on plan and really stuck to it and first weigh in today lost 5lbs! So that's incentive enough to stick with it! I am a chef and spend my time...

Hello there, well done to all so far this morn, this is my first weigh in today since being back on sw so was nervous but no need as i lost 5lbs!! So glad To be back on Sw! This takes me back to my starting weight when I decided to do slimfast! Where I lost 3 lbs then gained 8lbs!! Nightmare!!

So refreshing ladies that I'm not the only one!! Cheese and wine my two favourite things!! I drink vodka and soda with fresh lime wedge when I'm out as soda is free most places so not as expensive as other shorts! But in terms of wine I try to not drink it very often as I can't stop once I start!

1lb off again! Slow and steady wins the race!! 2.5 until my first stone come on!

Hi there dehydration can cause bloating! Not many of us realise this, drink lots of water, herbal tea etc and should really help!

Lost 1 lb! Great as it's a loss but would have liked more as been so good! My C says I'm not having enough of my syns, most days I only have 1-2 she said to have 5 a day and then if I want to save the rest for the wkend or a few drinks! So will give it a go!

Well done everyone only one pound off for me really annoying as been super good this week! Arrgh! 3.5 lb to my first stone!!

Totally agree! Just was in the cupboard and I thought why not! Now I know!

I have nearly just had a heart attack! I saw a tin of broccoli & Stilton soup in the cupboard, thought I'll have that as a little snack! Erm no! Not only did it look like vomit and taste like what i can only imagine feet cheese might taste like! 9 syns for a measly tin, I only had about 2...

Well done kat that's brill! I too would quite like 1.5 this week as that puts me 3lb away from target! Been really good this week so fingers crossed! Going to measure as well tonight!

You look amazing! A real inspiration to all of us!!

Good luck everyone!

Weigh in tonight! Hopefully will be a loss as been really good! Good luck to anyone else weighing in tonight!

Hello and welcome to SW!! You do need really to eat all your healthy extra in order for the diet to work, if you don't it's not really worth it! But you don't have to eat them all in one go, I measure out my milk and use it throughout the day, or might have only half my milk allowance then have...

It's plain flour but to be honest self raising would only make it lighter! Up to you! Enjoy!

Hiya I'm a chef and baker saw this post and thought i could help you out! I have a lovely but very naughty cake recipe am In bed at the moment but will dig it out tomorrow and write it out if that's ok?

I wouldn't worry that's why we all support each other on here! Just cut back on the syns tomorrow! I religiously check everything as trying to be 100%! we can do this if we all stick together and help one another out! Good luck!

I made this on Saturday night was really yummy I used only thighs as they tend to stay very tender, breast will dry out! I poached the thighs in water for 20 mins then peeled skin off! Any excess fat from chicken comes out in poaching water, don't need to toast bread before blitzing it in food...

That sounds yummy but just checked the lamb shanks in the food directory as can't believe they are free and too good to be true I'm afraid! 3 syns per shank! Not too bad really but didn't want you to miscount your syns!! X

Defo report it! I own dogs and wouldn't dream of leaving them outside for two weeks in a confined space! This makes them aggressive and frustrated plus a nuisance to neighbors barking etc! Just drop RSPCA a quick call and let them know and think nothing more of it! Your only being helpful at the...

Honestly it is completely normal! I do it all the time, think to myself I have these syns to use maybe I'll have some chocolate/crisps etc then think no save the syns for wkend or whenever! My OH always eating non Sw food and can be a real struggle! Just think at the end of it all you will be...

I love a kebab every now and then so I have a large shish one lamb one chicken, 3 sins for each skewer! Then I tend to leave out pitta as 9 syns for large pitta and 7 for smaller one which is high! I often have some Sw chips on the go at home or a jacket potato! Chilli sauce is 1/2 syn per tbsp...

Syn free kfc and Sw chips been looking forward to it all day can't wait!! Yum yum

Cara that's amazing!! I have been very strict with myself and followed the plan exactly! I have 2-3 stone to lose ideally 2 1/2 but 3 would be great! How much have you got to lose? Maybe you can give me some tips??

I recently bought a food directory because my friend told me it had a Thai food bit in the eating out section. I bought the 2011 one and it doesn't have anything Thai in it! As a lover of thai food can anyone tell me syn values or advise which directory has got a Thai section in it. Thanks

I lost a pound this week so totaling 9.5 lbs in 5 weeks am really pleased! Times that by three then that might be 28.5 lbs in 15 weeks so just over 2 stone in under 4 months maybe??? It's possible!! X

Hey there weighed in 3rd week and lost 2.5 lbs so hit my half stone mark in three weeks! I definately agree with the idea about changing diet from salty Foods that retain water to fresh foods but it all balances out, my consultant said to look at the weight loss over a month rather than week by...
