ive booked with teletext quite a few times, usually fine! jus dont go for 1 or 2 stars and expect a nice hotel, id go with 4 usually :)

lol, as long as im not on my own! i am trying to drink loads but jus added to the toilet running to pee :L

Without being too graphic, has any1 experienced any changes in there toiletting pattern from starting slimming world? I am going alot and am experiencing alot more wind than usual lol

thanks :d that wud b a bit handier

i weighed in 2nite 4 the 1st! i was soo nervous cos i had a bad weekend of eating and drinking lots but still lost 3lb so im well pleased :)

any1 know anywhere in belfast? bangor or portadown is a bit of a run for meat?

Congratulations! Ive only started to come on regularly and bin reading ur thread all week...u have been so dedicated so u deserve the Young Slimmer of the Year award,good luck :) Can I b rude and ask wat age u r?

Had it 2nite, it was ok, def wudnt rush 2 get it again tho!

thanks! ill hav 2 give them a go sumtime :)

sorry 4 sounding dumb...but wat is scan bran? hav i missed something in my book? lol

Are these superfree no matter how much u eat? can any1 recommend a low syn sauce or something to add flavour? 1st time to try quorn and im not sure if im gonna like it :confused:

well thats how im thinking...i mean it wud b unrealistic to say im not drinking cos im dieting cos in reality wen i do lose weight ill drink even more 2 make up for being a bore...then ill b back 2 square 1! even a pound a week wud do me :D

i no u r right..its just moving from ww were everything is pointed its sooooo hard! but ill take ur advice on board! hopefully wen i see movement on the scales ill b able to accept it more :)

thanks! r u losing even with ur wine as syns? haha

im really finding this unlimited thing hard to get to grips with! 2day i had 2 small baked potatoes for lunch...can i hav sw chips for dinner r wud it b best 2 avoid so much potato in 1 day?

yup! well my 1st weigh-in is on thurs! i must have drank equalivant to 60 syns of wine then had mcds as a hangover cure on sunday! on a brighter note, i weighed myself in work 2day and it is showing 3 pds lighter...i dnt believe that is so!! as much as i wud love it 2 b true...i no all scales...

30g of the philly light garlic and herb spread is 2 and a half syns :) i think its gr8

u can get them in au naturale as well :)

im new too, only started this week and not followed any advice ive read! ate and drank 2 much this weekend :( nt a gd start lol

thanks! :)

Ahhh...on my first week and ive a problem already! Im goin out on a big night out 2maro, dinner in an italian restaurant and lots of drinking!! Can any1 recommend the best thing to order? Im sure its gonna b pasta but surely the sauce is full of sins!!

i wish i had ur will power! i wud of had it well scoffed!! well done...give me some of ur motivation haha! it doesnt help wen u live with a skinny partner who can get away with eating anything!!

definitely!! ill hav 2 invest in 1 of those books! heading to work now...shud b interesting!! there is so much nice sweet stuff around :(

anno, there is some conflicting info! im sure wen they r making processed ham they arnt worried about trimming the fat off 1st! aww well, if the bible says its free, im eating it haha! how much was ur food directory? can u get them at class?

wat about processed ham and chicken etc? u no like u get about 20 slices in the packet? is it free like normal chicken? sorry ive just started and im a bit confused about some of it!! im finding it hard to understand y some foods r free cos i always considered them pretty bad wen i done weight...

is batchlors pasta and sauce free on extra easy? i no the pasta is but im not sure about the power that makes up the sauce?

wow, u have done great on slimming world! ive jus joint 2nite and im not sure wat 2 think tbh. all this talking in the class im a bit nervous about!! do u lose quicker if u leave out the HE's or shud u do ur best to include them?

well done! wat made u change? r u finding sw any better than ww?
