Sounds fab - I'm using my local butcher as I wasnt getting seriously annoyed with ASDA meat - smells really bad a day or two after purchase, even when still in date! I might have to take a trip to the market...

I forgot... also, there is a thread on here called "calling all 100%ers" or something.... thats people trying to give SW a really good go for a week... maybe see who's there & get stuck in!

Hi, I can totally empathise as i dont really like veggies either. There are one or two... eg peas and leeks that dont offend me so I find I'm eating these a lot! I think planning ahead is def the future and once you've found 5 or 6 good main meals for each day, it should keep you goin a while...

Hi and welcome. You can def do something like WW from home as there's lots of support on here! Or maybe calorie counting (CC) is pretty straightforward! Having dogs is a great excuse for going for a walk... I started walking mine (with a friend) on a Sunday about 6 weeks ago... tomorrow we are...

I dont think you need to exercise to begin with...but music/tv is a good idea. I started walking with a friend so at least we could have a chat... or maybe there's a local walking group... I think people are def the answer! Or, I got a dog which made me start walking!

Hello :) Im on SW too - only been on it for 2 days tho! Check out the SW board, its full of regulars which is nice. Let us know if we can help with anything... Keep us updated with your progress - good luck!

Welcome - hope you find a good diet. Keep popping on here to keep us updated of your progress / for morale support!

Hi there, I'm doing SW but am going to classes as i need the motivation and group therapy! I'm not sure if you can do it online.... what about tesco e diets or something? Think you have to pay though...

Thank goodness - pasta in tom sauce could be very boring otherwise!!!

Oh, please could you post the recipe for bacon and cott cheese quiche when you have a sec? Sounds yummy :)

He he he, what did she sing?!

Muller light have a limited edition - lemon and passionfruit... a bit weird really but gorgeous frozen! Yum yum.

EK! oh no! I have sky plused x factor to watch tomorrow :'-( Ah well.... at least the right person has gone. Def his time. Can't decide between the others tho - except I want to start a national campaign to get rid of Rachel!

I often just have a glass of water and one weetabix before I walk the dog in the morning... am ready for the other weetabix when i get back tho!

This is certainly a tricky one! I've heard vanilla muller light with an options sprinkled on works (im not convinced!) maybe everything in moderation? 1 square of dairy milk a week it is then!

I dont have a cut off time as I go to bed late... eat tea around 6-7pm, am hungry by 11pm but often dont go to bed til 12.30-1am. Maybe an early night might help!

Yipedy do dah! Thanks :D x

Batchelors rice Hello, How many syns in batchelors savour rice? Any chance they are free on green?:confused:

It does melt - not brilliantly - but it does. Had it layered between chicken and bacon tonight. Double yum! :)

Gosh, i hope this happens to me! How long did it take?!

You are not alone! I often have days like this... (Currently on day 2 of SW!) But, the only way is up. Try to put on some motivational music or watch a favourite film, call a friend or look at an online clothes store for motivation! At the moment, when I want chocolate (Which is quite often!)...

Very funny! I like! :D

Well done you! Have forbidden my OH from having take aways in front of me! Receipe above sounds yummy tho! x

What a genius idea! I can understand the hoops etc but must be ok just within your group... I'd love to buy them! Good luck - keep us updated! x

Thanks bettylollypop! I'll have a look for it... am especially looking for ideas for lunch and dinner on red days... stuffed chicken breast sounds nice :)

Thanks everyone - its really good how encouraging everyone is :) Ive spent some time having a look around and have realised I'm such a fussy eater! I think the problem may be the replacements eg quorn which i just cant stand. And my consultant (who wasnt too friendly!) said i should have max...

I'm on Day 1(!) of SW and I'm already annoyed ... doing a green day. Had weetabix/milk for b/fast. Then an express rice (tomato & basil flavour) for lunch - thinking it would be free or maybe 1 syn max... WRONG! 5 syns! :mad: Had pasta and low fat tomato sauce for tea (3.5 syns in sauce...

Real beef mince. ooops!

Hi, I've home made several meals including lasagne, chicken curry, shepherd's pie and now am wondering how I can calculate the syns in them!?!

Hello again, I have officially been to SW and joined tonight :D Am geared up ready to start tomorrow... although I already have a couple of questions... Firstly, are pasta'n'sauce (batchelors I think!) free on green? Also, is uncle bens express rice (flavoured) free on green? I think there...

Thanks so much everyone. Will def join at end of this week and try really hard for 1 stone by xmas. Honestly you lot (the SW bunch) are so friendly, (Whispers "much better than the slim fast group" but ssshhhh, dont tell anyone!) Will catch up in the week hopefully. :) x

Thanks. I know that 2 lbs a week is ok but I'm so impatient :( Hmmm, will need to find some motivation/reward/incentive for small loses i think! Thanks for comment. x

Ooooh, what cross trainer do you have? Could you recommend it? Im looking for one for xmas... x

3 stone? Is that POSSIBLE?! Yikes, you guys are crazy! I would LOVE to loose 3 stone by xmas... Currently I'm 17 stone (having lost 8lbs on SF) but thinking I might start SW this week. So, 17 stone and 5'4, is it really possible to loose 3 stone by xmas?! I exercise 3 times a week (aerobics...

Many thanks to all - think i will start SW at the end of this week (when ive used up all my SF!) Thanks again - will let you know my progress! x

See my new thread "Big up to the Big Day" - check out the shop called the "Big Day" in Yorkshire. AMAZING! Good luck. x

Hi all, I just read a comment about dress shopping - I know it may be a trek but "The Big Day" in Castleford in Yorkshire is amazing! Run by 2 brilliant women - you book an exclusive appointment where they close the whole shop just for you for 2 hours! They make you feel really great - not...

Hi all, I feel a little traitorish as I'm currently on SF but am struggling quite early on... Username "cheeks" left me a message about SW... I have done it before but not for yrs (about 10!) I live in the sticks and wondered if it was possible to do properly, without actually attending a...

Wow! What a fantastic idea! Im so excited! :)

Aw, thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Don't think I will do CD this side of xmas as i know I will massively struggle over xmas! Will see how it goes, feel a bit better today although the weekend is always the hardest I find! Fingers crossed. x

Hey everyone, I started SF three weeks ago and lost about 7lbs in the first 2 weeks. (I am 5'4, weighing 17st) However, I took a week off from work last week and the diet went down the loo! I'm now finding it REALLY difficult to get back in to, along with the stresses of work. I just want...

Hi, I'm pretty new to all this... congrats on your weight loss so far, amazing! I def need a diet that you feel good / healthy on... I'm doing slim fast and so far I just feel pretty crappy. Would you recommend the Cambridge Diet? Vicsy x

Hi there, I'm only a little older (24) and have a similiar amount to loose... it seems like such a long way off doesnt it?! I'm doing slim fast but finding that im eating far too much for my one "600 kcal meal" (surprise, surprise!) but im sooo hungry by then! Am thinking about VLCD (CD or...

Thanks for all your welcome messages. Can anyone recommend a decent chocolate substitute? Its definately what I'm missing most :( x

Hi all, Have only joined this site today... have been doing SF for 3 weeks officially - lost 7lbs in first 2 weeks but am so impatient and hungry that ive slipped this week and put 2 back on :( Will keep going though - tomorrow is a new day... must go to bed now, before i eat something!

Hi there, I only joined today - have also tried loads of diets, despite being 24! Hope it works out - keep posting regularly :) See you around. Vicsy x

Hello everyone, :D I've just registered on here as I'm hoping for some support and a few laughs along the way... I have taken the plunge after spending over £100 on various diet products in the last month! :o I even considered a diet pill that is illegal in the UK (I'm anything for a quick fix!)...
