I weigh from home too, I didn' peek in the first week but did after the weekend on the second and was almost 1 lb up!! That spurred me to work hard for the remainder of that week and get it back down again lol. The first week took ages, but the second weeek flew by! It was weigh in time again...

Lost 1.5 lbs :D Well, according to my scales I've lost 1 and 3 quarters but there was no option to enter that in bodyoptimise so I had to round it down. (rounding it up seemed like cheating). :rolleyes: I'm pretty happy with that loss as on Monday (after quite a bad weekend) I weighed and had...

Yep syns are flexible like that, but I always make sure I "save them up" before using extra at the weekend rather than making up for it later, that way I know I wont cheat and let myself forget about them.

I prefer green too, usually feel much hungrier on red so end up using up all my syns on the kind of carb loading that's free on green!

I've found instant mash (such as Smash) to be a great quick lunch, it's cheap and and it's ready in as long as it takes your kettle to boil. Goes perferctly with beans or tinned spaghetti, it's hardly a classy meal but it's good comfort food :) quick and 100% free on green! A bit of salt and...

I've lost 6lbs! :eek: Ok, so it's probably not quite that high as it was about 10 days since I last weighed myself and I gave myself every chance of having a large loss by weighing in the morning on an empty stomach wearing light clothing, but still, I'm chuffed with that result ;)

According to the syns pdf document I downloaded from BodyOptimise just earlier today: cough syrup is 1.5 syns for 2 level tsps. throat lozenges are 1.5 syns per 2 sweets. But I wouldn't worry too much about the syns they cost, just focus on getting well again :)

Wow that's awesome!! Well done :D

Definately picking some up next time I'm near a supermarket. Thanks for the tip :)

Oooh, extra light mayo, good call! ;)

I'm just clutching at straws I guess, I haven't had bread in any form for almost 3 weeks and I'm almost over my cravings for it. I'm gonna reintroduce bread as a healthy option at some point and find a different way to moisten it up :)

I'm only a few days into SW but am finding it hard to work in healthy extra A choices. I'm not much for dairy, I use a dash of semi-skimmed in my tea each morning (the morning's I find time to have a cuppa that is) and that's about my intake. I'm not a fan of cheese, I can eat mozzarella or...

Just had a big plate of potato wedges with a sprinkling of paprika, yum! Hard to believe they were free :D

Lol Treats :8855: Welcome aboard Karen! :)

What syn free / low syn things do you always make sure you have in the house for those times when you really need something to nibble on and don't want to spend too long in the kitchen preparing it? My go to food used to be salted peanuts, but they're syntacular and totally not worth 4 syns for...

... well, walking at least (bad knee, and frankly I'm too unfit to run any kind of distance right now). I must be mad, it's -2 out there tonight and our planned route is 5 miles. Think I'll be in need of a hot bath and a glass of something strong when I return!

I never have time for breakfast on a weekday, so I usually grab a banana from the fruit bowl as I'm running out the front door - a habit that is unlikely to change now I'm on SW!

Thank you all for such a warm welcome :) Treats, probably a silly question, but what's a weigh in group?

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Matt and this is my first day on Slimming World :) (I'm sure I must have done something wrong, I'm so full!) I was previously on Lighter Life, I just fell inside the 30 bmi limit for joining and thought it would be the best way to get the weight off...

Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread offering up advice, I appreciate it :) I went to bed last night having settled on doing another two weeks with LL, bringing me up to the one month mile stone and then reassess my feelings. Unfortunately, this morning the light headedness came back...

Good luck with the new diet picnic! :) let me know how it goes. Are you limited to what foods you're allowed on your meal? When I'm at work tomorrow, I can speak to colleagues who are on SW and ones who have completed LL to get their views, but I already know I'm waiting for someone to tell me...

Thanks for taking the time to reply Pete :) The hunger pangs were definately not thirst, I have been drinking between five and six litres of water a day. I was initially drinking around four but found myself getting light headed an awful lot, my LLC suggested it was dehydration and told me to...

Hi :) My first post here, but I've been flicking through posts for the last few days picking up on advice and tips. Right now I'd like to do though is rant: So I'm almost to the end of week two and I'm finding I have to constantly remind myself why I'm putting myself through this! My...
