Can i join in? I am going to join SW either Thursday or Saturday. I plan on giving up all kinds of fizzy drink. Good luck everyone!

Tonight I made this out of the Hiary Bikers Dieting book. Only 6.5 syns for the 100g chorizo so you can split it into however many servings you want. It is meant to serve 6. I have to say it was delicious and will definately be made again and again. 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs 100g...

I started cd today on step 2 but my cd counsellor has said I can have 2 shakes and dinner. I have been reading the cd website and it says I should be having 3 plus dinner. Also she didn't have any leaflets so she said food wise for my evening meal I can have the following: Chicken Turkey Tuna 2...

After having joined sw many many time I am joining again for the very last time. I am at my heaviest weight ever and I am scared of getting any bigger (I can't afford the clothes). I was going to get a 12 week pass as I have a holiday in September and I don't want to give myself any excuse of...

I have all the books from starting (and quitting) a couple of months ago. Is there much benefit from joining online also or do you think the books and this website is enough? Thanks S

Just seen this on the SW facebook page: DAILY MIRROR PROMOTION: Following the huge success of our January promotion, this weekend the Daily Mirror will be giving away a series of free Slimming World booklets full of delicious recipes, inspiring member success stories and expert tips and advice...

Are classes own on a bank holiday Monday? I want to re join and I have seen a class on a Monday.

Hi I picked up a packet of this from Morrisons. It seems to be new and it is a packet of herbs and seasoning which you can add to sour cream or yogurt. Problem is there is no nutritional values on the packet just a list of ingredients. Has anyone heard of this and possibly have the syns...

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I joined SW last Nov and stopped going for various reasons :( I still have all the books so i am going to start again from home but i have heard thats there were some changed to the healthy extra amounts. I have been searching this website for 30 mins (i don't...

I am getting married June 18th and i have been 'dieting' since October and have lost 2st 9lbs through exercise and a low GI diet. I am now losing my way a bit and my portions are getting bigger and things are sneeking in. I was wondering whether joining WW and combining it with a low gi diet...

I would like to join also! I have at least 8 stone to lose. I have started seeing a personal trainer who has put me on a diet plan as well as an exercise program. First proper weigh in tomorrow if i am well enough as i have come down with a cold :(

Hi all I am thinking of doing exante but i was wondering which plan people follow? I am thinking of doing the one where you have a meal so i can cope (have tried CD and not managed at all!). Will i still get good losses?

This has been a real eye opener. I have been a binge eater for uears and been to eating disorder groups etc. I have always wondered whether i shoudl just take food away completely and face my food fears head on. Do you recommend exante for this?

Hi all I have a lot of weight to lose (about 8 stone in to be 10 stone something) and i have done every diet under the sun. I am thinking of doing plain old calorie counting and exercise but i was wondering where everyone found the calories for item e.g. fruit and veg. Also do you take into...

Hi I am thinking of rejoining SW tomorrow and i was wondering how much a 12 week countdown course costs and would that include the first week when i join? Thanks in advance :) Also can you pay with card or do you have to pay with cash?

I have! I have been to counselling and a binge eating disorder group and i'm still the same. Considering CBT as an option as i eat no matter what my mood is happy, sad, angry, bored etc and i know it has come from my childhood experiences I just want to be 'cured' :( but it doesn't seem to...

Thanks for all your help. I think i am still trying to sort my head out which is really hard and as i am getting married next year there seems to be an extra pressure to be slim which is frustrating. I think i just need to start writing down a food diary and see where the issues are...

Hi After years of battling with my weight and doing various diets, counselling and a binge eating disorder group i am still 8-9 stone over weight :( I think i have come to the conclusion that maybe i am addicted to sugar. Not a day passes that i don't look for the next 'fix'. I don't...

I am broke at the moment as i am saving for my wedding next year but i really need to lose at least 6 stone! I have done some hunting around on the internet and was going to buy some similar meals to diet chef and also the snacks and the granola and have a healthy dinner in the evening with...

Why was this moved it wasn't a recipe :( I'm totally confuzzled

Just took the time and made these for dinner and they were gorgeous!! I am so glad i took the time to make them rather than just chucking some oven chips in the oven. They tasted great on their own but even better with quorn sausages and runny egg. Yum :)

Thank you for the reply. I think i will have to make a list of superfree food and make sure i have planned some with every meal.

EE Day Breakfast Mullerlight Lunch Jacket potato Ham Cottage cheese Dinner Chicken stir fry Chow mein sauce - 3 syns Rice Strawberries 2x Meringues - 5 syns LF yogurt Sweetner Snacks Fiberplus bar (HEXB) Banana Mullerlight Drinks Water Coffee with milk (HEX A) Pepsimax I hope...

I started SW last Wednesday and it is always interesting to read other peoples food diaries. You diary looks really good. Keep up the good work :)

I started SW last Wednesday and in order to keep a check on myself i am going to write a food diary. I am currently doing EE so here is todays food: EE day Breakfast Bacon (grilled) Egg & Mushrooms (fried in fry light) Lunch Fresh grilled veg pasta - 5.5 syns Pasta sauce - 4.5 Dinner Chicken...

Just had a dark chocolate and almond one of these and it was yummy! Highly recommend them as an afternoon chocolate 'fix'.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I think i will be doing a big shop tonight.

You can tell me to bog off but have you heard of the set point weight theory? Its where we have a naturally determined weight and if we ate a healthy diet and exercised this is where your body would naturally weigh. It means some people can struggle to lose weight at a certain point as your body...

I joined last night and I am currently trying to write a shopping list. So i was just wondering what things people couldn't go without now they do SW so i can find ideas of what i could add to my shopping list. Thanks x

Wow thats impressive!! You must feel so much better. I have just joined tonight and have about 8 stone (at least) to lose. I am thinking of joining the local Derby that they are trying to set up in Wolves. Just need to get myself some skates and start to practice!

Hi Vicky I think i have added you on facebook! I'm sara Ottley. I joined tonight and have a hell of a lot to lose. First target is a friends wedding in August so would like to get a nice dress for that. Congrats on your wedding :)

I'm joining tonight so if you need a buddy give me a shout. I am sure i have at least 8 stone to lose plus i am getting married in a year so that is a big incentive!! x

I am thinking of joining tonight and i wondered how much a 12 week countdown was? I'm guessing i would have to take cash? xx

I am going to join again(!) tomorrow and i was wondering whether people used rewards to keep them on the straight and narrow? I was thinking get my nails done or a hair cut everytime i lost a stone and a new nail varnish if i lost 7lbs. Does this sound silly? xx

I have just under 10st to lose and i am getting married next June. I am going to join slimming world this week hopefully! I have done weight watchers before but i am sick of counting 'points' and i want a better relationship with food. Good luck with all your weight loss journey's :)

Wow those pics are amazing. wish i had as much willpower to lose the amount of weight some of those people have. :(

Well i nearly cried twice at work :( Also i think i suffer from binge eating disorder and thought this would sort it out but having spoken to someone at work today i really think i need to see the counsellor i have been referred to before i start doing anything like this. I don't think it will...

I am really struggling with not eating. I have a headache and my stomach is rummbling. I am prepared to just give it up and eat heathily as at least i will get to eat! :( :( :(

Just checked my answer machine and they have some paperwork at the drs for me to collect so hopefully they will have signed it for me! Fingers crossed :)

she didn't sign my form. She didn't say she wouldn't she just wanted to speak to someone at the CD office. Unfortunately as i went so early the office was closed! Grrrr. Anyway she said leave it with her and she will speak to someone and to ring the surgery tomorrow so i can pick it up. It...

How do people manage with doing CD at work. I do an admin role so i sit at a desk 8hrs a day. I was thinking of having a shake for breakfast and soup/shake for lunch at work. Are they much of an issue to 'make up' and do you advise i get something to 'make them up' in? I did just buy a thermos...

Thanks for all your replies. Is it sad i am a bit excited about it?

I'm planning on starting CD next week (if drs sign my form) and i was wondering how much i could possibly lose between now and xmas. I currently weight 17st 9lbs.

Hi all I am currently in the process of starting CD. I have a Dr's appointment on Monday to get the forms signed off hopefully. I was wondering whether anyone has had any problems with getting the forms signed and also did you have any bad experiences when starting the diet? S

First weigh in! Well had my first weigh in tonight and lost 4.5 lbs! I can't believe it as it has been so easy as i haven't been hungery unlike ww. Off to read the SW magazine now :)

Made the cous cous cake and it wasn't as i expected. It didn't taste bad just didn't taste of anything as i used banana and custard yog. I am going to try it again but with a different yog or maybe even coffee flavour. Weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed i have lost something.

I had steak for dinner and also a peppercorn sauce. Thing is when i look for the sauce in the food diary it shows it is 4.5 syns for the packet. Thing is i didn't eat the entire packet but it doesn't give the option of say eating half the packet. Does anyone else have this problem or have i...

and it turned out ok but it doesn't taste of anything. I used banana and custard yog but it doesn't seem to have any flavour. What flavour yogs do you use and has anyone tried to make a coffee one?

Well still going well. I am still so suprised how easy it is. I am planning on making cous couse cake tonight and also quiche at the weekend. I am also going to plan some meals and do a big shop. I'm hoping the scales will show something good on Tuesday.

Well joined SW yesterday and it was my first day today so thought i would start a diary to post my menus and thoughts for the day. So far i have found it really easy which is great. I am also planning on joining the gym tomorrow so i am looking forward to that. My menu for today is below...

I bit the bullet and joined tonight. I was horrified about how much weight i have to lose but at least i am going to do something about it. I have also contacted a counsellor to sort out my mind and am joining a gym on thursday to sort out my body. So heres to a slimmer happier me :)

Thank you all for your wonderful and kind replies. I had a chat with a friend at work and she mentioned she was joining SW after work tomorrow so it must be a sign. I have seen my GP about my weight previously and he was the most unsympathetic man i have ever met therefore i haven't been back to...

I have done some research and it looks like i might suffer from binge eating disorder. I have answered yes to many of the questions below from the nhs website e.g. eating much faster than normal during a binge, eating until feeling uncomfortably full, eating a large amount of food when not...

Thanks for all your lovely replies. I am going to dig out the books i got and have a proper study. I am going to start going back to the gym and properly address my many issues with food. I can do this as i have done it before its just getting together the motivation and the willpower. Does...

Well i've had enough. For the past 4 days i have been eating sooo much rubbish and i am in tears. I can't see to stick to any form of diet/healthy eating. I lost 2.5 stone a couple of yrs ago on WW but have put it all back on and more. I keep trying to get back onto the wagon but fail everytime...

Hi I've just booked my holiday and its in a months time (give or take a day). I am planning on giving SF a go for the next 4 weeks to lose a bit of weight before i go. I'm just wondering how much i could lose in that amount of time? Also is it quite easy to do? Thanks Sara

Thanks i'm just getting my fiance to take a pic of me. The pics you have done are fantastic such an inspiration!!

Can i send you a pic? Idon't have enough posts to put one on here is there another way?

I can't afford to go to meetings at the moment but have got SW books from previous meetings and the most recent magazine. As i understand it for extra easy you can eat anything that is free on read or green days together. And when it comes to HEa and HEb you get to have one from each. My...

Newbie here! Hello thats an awful thing to happen so hugs to you. I just joined tonight so if you want a buddy then give me a shout. I have at least 6st to lose so will be around for the long term. Keep your chin up chick :) Sara x

I joined sw tonight. Went to a very tiny club. 6 members in all and they were all lovely. I am planning on having a green day tomorrow hopefully as i haven't been shopping yet but i do have beans and eggs for breakfast. Does anyone have any tips or words of wisdom to keep me on track? I would be...

I'm joining sw on monday but i go out with the OH usually once a week for a meal. Do sw do an eating out guide as such? Or will i just have to stick to green or red foods on that day? S x:thankyou:

I have been a member of ww for a while and i can't seem to keep on track as i am sick of counting points. I have had a look at doing sw but i can't get my head round green and red days and healthy extras. I do a lot of cooking fom scratch so that doesn't bother me. How long did it take for you...
