well done!!

i just got back from spending a month in the USA. i was a bit worried about going as we all know how much food they pile on your plate over there! well, i have lost 7lbs while i've been away, and although i would have liked to have reached my target before i went, i now only have a stone to lose!

That was the first thing that i thought of when i saw this thread! but i still eat it by the bunch anyway. I'm currently in the US on holiday and have just had plate of asparagus with poached eggs for breakfast.

WI has been and gone. There will be no more before i head west for a month. I follow the green/red plans doing mostly green days (i lost my taste for all things meat since i started this plan!). I will be doing a lot of walking when i'm there, all of it at high altitude. I may even squeeze...

I've had a pretty heavy weekend! I attended my sisters graduation (military) and HAD to endure the feeding that went with that. I didn't go overboard with the food, but it was all very slimming world unfriendly stuff. And of course i was careful to add only slimline tonic to the many gins that...

i went through this myself not so long ago. I went a whole month without seeing anything move at all. it can be disheartening, but trust me, it will start to happen again. it you feel really stuck, take a few days off the plan. i don't mean go crazy, but just have a little bit of what you...

give it a go i have never really tried any other weight loss plans (except an ill advised 7 day stint on lighter strife which damn near killed me!) so i can't compare it to others. It really is quite easy to follow once you get your head round the healthy extras and such. I follow the...

Eggsactly to opposite! i decided to splash out and allow myself a Creme Egg as a reward. I had forgotten just how sickly sweet they were. I think i need a trip to the dentist now! Thanks for all the kind words. It means a lot when you've hit a rough patch. I was really beginning to wonder if...

It's been a long hard journey to get here and i'm still not done yet! But today, i tipped the scales at 12st 3lbs! That's 3st 1lb lost since i began SW in November of last year. It's been rather frustrating at times. For the whole of March my weight bounced around between 13st and 12st...

tuna pate - kinda i don't know if this is what you are looking for, but i make my own 'kinda' tuna pate using the laughing cow light from the HEX A. I just take a drained can of tuna and mix it up with the cheese triangles, add some finely chopped spring onion, some black pepper or anything...

Metformin is frequently prescribed in the treatment of PCOS. I have been taking it for several years. PCOS is closely related to insulin intolerance and many people see good results in the reduction of symptoms when they start taking it. PCOS and being overweight is a strange old cycle...

It's also used in the treatment of PCOS as it is linked to insulin intolerance.

i just saw these in the supermarket and wondered if anyone knows the syn values

i always get confused about this. i used to thin it was one small tine but now i'm not sure. i can't find my book at the moment to look it up. is it drained weight or is it the net weight for the tin?

I've slept too late to be able to prepare anything fresh to take to work for my nightshift tonight. I have lurking in the cupboard a tin of Tesco stewed steak with gravy (it's in a can with a red label) i seem to recall that hearing that this was free on a red day. I'm just confused...

Asda has Quorn mince and chicken style pieces (frozen) on offer for £1

i meant to put that Asda HAS Quron mince and chicken style pieces on offer for £1 at the moment! i know the Asda stuff ain't free!

just a by the way as i can't find the thread for posting where the special offers are Adsa quorn mince and chicken style pieces (frozen) on offer for £1 at the moment

Having a meal plan certainly helps. I find that i spend a lot less if i plan out my weeks meals in advance and shop according to that. Keep an eye out for the special offers and stock up the freezer where you can. i know it's not always practical, but i try to spend one of my days off...

i could use all the support and encouragement that i can get at the moment! i'm not struggling with the plan, but have hit a sort of weight loss plateau and am finding it difficult to remain upbeat about it. I have been tempted several times to just go right off plan and have what i want...

sounds like you need to tslk to your doctor about having your gallbladder removed (if you haven't already). i suffered from biliary colic for a few years myself and was hospitalised on a few occassions. The worry with BC is that stones (it is gallstones in the bile duct that cause it) can...

i'm tired of getting to 13st and then getting on the scales and seeing 13st 3lbs. it goes back and forth between those two and has been doing for a good few weeks now. i've tried throwing in more red days as a lot of people seem to think that those give better losses, but not for me! i'm...

My portion sizes are ok. everything that needs to be weighed or measured is. I mix up what i eat so that i'm not eating the same foods all the time. i do exercise too. It's just frustrating to think that i am following the plan and here i sit with nothing happening

i do the online thing because i work shifts. i have started a food diary on this site so that people may cast an eye over it and make suggestions where they can. i'm really open to any suggestions to get me moving again!

I'm beginning to get a little frustrated by the way that my losses seem to have stopped. As far as i can tell, i'm doing everything right. I do a mix of red and green days, try not to choose the same healthy B extras every day, get my five a day in (2 of fruit, 3 of veg) and keep my sins...

13st! 2st 4lbs lost! i'm nearly half way there. my losses have slowed considerably over the last month or so and some weeks i don't seem to lose anything. i need to remind myself that i was 14st on january 2nd and only 6 weeks later i'm a stone lighter. i wonder if there is any way to...

Morrisons's Eat Smart Pork Sausages, the ones that say less than 3% fat are syn free on a red day. I like them better than regular sausages and they taste rather good cooked on a George Foreman Grill thing. There are a few website for places that sell Syn free sausages on line but most have a...

i don't know if you've tried any of the options or hi-lights hot chocolate drink things. I usually hit those if i have a chocolate craving. You would need to check out the syn values but i'm sure that they are only around 2-3 syns when made up as directed. those things are so sickly sweet that...

I'm doing slimming world and finding it really not so very bad. I'm a little down heartened at the moment by the fact that i seem to be putting weight on despite doing everything right. It's a pre-menstrual thing though. Isn't it? Someone tell me that it's a pre-menstrual thing and all will...

Howdy! I'm three weeks in and 10lbs lighter. I've been trawling these forums for ideas and support and thought it was about time i joined. Weight loss seems a little stuck this week, but i'm in it for the long run nsm xo
