I'm good thank you, eating plans is going well, managing to maintain my target weight which is a real personal achievement for me, as in the past when I have reached my target weight I've got complacent with food and bumped all the weight straight back on, hard work down the drain!! I am not...

No sorry never used Shpock, my 17 year old son is currently trying to get me to sell things local by using Facebook, I am so not techy tech and it sounds like hard work posting pics ect.... That's why the Charity shop certainly does well out of me!! It's easy bag it and drop it off ...... Job...

Brilliant.... Love it

Well done really pleased for you.

Ok...... I too have to admit, when making a Birthday cake for my Dad on Thursday - I too may have tasted the cake mix just to see if it tasted ok! And it did it was soooooo nice

Fantastic amount of money raised you and your bestie should be really proud. Well done x

Roast chicken looks absolutely amazing, it's my Dad's Birthday too therefore I indulged in a piece of my homemade Coffee cake that I made him and it was delicious!!! I have no idea of the syn value, gonna go with at least 20.....Don't worry I sent the rest home with him to avoid any further...

Same here, I love the show but it makes me want to eat naughty food!!!!!

Hi my Target weight is 7st 7lb. I have maintained this for the last two weeks running....and honestly I am finding it just as hard to maintain as I did to lose.

How do you make your chilli with hidden veg? Would love to have a go at that, I usually make mine with a tin of Mexican beans and it is lovely.

Did a 5 mile walk yesterday in the sunshine and I'm off out again now for another long walk.....Suns out and I've picked out today music... Off I go!

It was my Weigh day on Saturday and I'm pleased that I have maintained at my Target weight.

Give that one a miss then

Love granola with fresh berries topped with syn free yoghurt... Keeps me going - it's what I alternate with overnight oats.

Not tried cauliflower rice, is it good?

Eating plan is looking real good, keep up the good work and you will soon see fantastic results

Going to use my slow cooker this weekend, going to put as many speed veg and stock cube in and hope for the best, going to have it with a nice lean piece of meat... Making me feel hungry

Custard sounds amazing, bet it would go really nice with baked oats using HEB

It's the weekend! Might have a couple of gins and slims... Got a use my syns and what a better way to do it. Have a great weekend

I'm pleased to say I had a lovely tea today, slimming world Italian sausage with lots of roasted veg and broccoli. Only eaten butternut squash once before but I steamed it and I was not that impressed but today I roasted it and it has now become a new favourite!

I use my slow cooker quite a lot nothing better than throwing everything in a pot turn it on , go to work, come home walk through the front door to a fantastic smell and EAT.

I am a massive fan of magic porridge, love having a different favour yoghurt each day with lots of different berries, best breakfast that keeps you going.

I made banana pancakes this morning topped with raspberries and a teaspoon of choc shot.. A real winner with my lot - didn't even tell them they were from a slimming world recipe ! I'm converting my family without them knowing, proves how tasty SW food can be.

Lovely choice of colours... Looking good

The tap you have chosen looks very classy.. Great choice

Completed another 7 mile (power) walk this morning, started off quite chilly but believe me I soon warmed up, really enjoyed it, clears the mind and encourages me to stay on track.

That looks fantastic, looks like a real tasty dish

Hope your feeling a bit better, best of luck at the Docs x

Meatballs look fantastic, will have to try these, I love seeing what peeps are cooking, it's gives me great ideas, I'm guilty of repeating what I class as safe syn recipes.

Today was weigh day... So pleased lost 1lb

Looking good, go out and enjoy yourself ... Have fun

I recognise those steps.... Christmas steps there a killer, great exercise though

Good luck with your weigh in

Well done fabulous loss x

Remind me how to make baked oats?

See you soon, take care

Do you have a B&M near by they sell it or I have seen it on Amazon.

The dress in the second link is amazing. Glad you had a great time in London.

I too am not looking forward to going to work but hey ho ... Just read in the new edition of the slimming world magazine that they have bought out a chip shop curry sauce available from Iceland so that's my fake takeaway for Friday night sorted...just got to get this week out the way.

Welcome, this forum is fabulous, so much support and as @ Lickthelid said so many challenges to keep you on the right track Good luck

Zero calorie maple syrup.... Where did you find that ? I love maple syrup on pancakes but I'm more than happy to try it on French toast

I know you said you don't like cold foods for breakfast and I was the same! but I am really loving overnight oats with lots of berries and syn free yoghurt, best of all make it the night before and even if your rushing around in the mornings you can take it and eat it on the go.

Made the French toast today after my 7 mile walk ... Really nice , next time I may add a bit more cinnamon and sweetener.

Great, I will have to try that one... Better check out on the internet how to do it correctly, think I know but I'd better check otherwise I will end up doing more damage than good, how many have you been doing on a daily basis?

Completed a 7 mile walk this morning, loved it, music playing just kept walking.... Must get a fitbit cause I would love to know how many steps I'm doing, I'm praying that my muscles don't give me a hard time tomorrow x

Hi This is a great forum to join, everyone is so helpful and supportive, I know exactly what you mean... I'm only 4ft 11 so I totally agree that every lb shows. Good luck on your journey

Congratulations on becoming an Auntie again.

Happy birthday to your little one x

Sounds like a cooker nightmare... They should reimburse you for the cost of the halogen that you had to purchase... Put it down to their incompetence and lack of communication.

I've done some research for you and Alpro yoghurt are suitable for vegetarians, they do a great coconut one which I have been told is 2 syns for a 500 ml pot. Hope this helps x

Well done, great loss

Times like this sometimes there are no words... Just you being there for your Mum is more important than what you say. Take care xx

Sorry to hear that you didn't get the job, but looking on the positive side if they are willing to offer you training they must think you are worth investing in, take all the training on offer and when the next position becomes available it will have your name written all over it. Hope you're...

Hi all, I managed 100 squats and 40 lateral, purchased some 1.5kg dumbbell, I can really feel the difference as I have been using tins of beans!, still feeling the muscle aches in my legs from my 7 mile walk on Sunday but I'm working through the pain, and feeling good.

Good luck with your weigh in.

Morning all, I did a seven Mile walk yesterday all atound Bristol and this morning my body is reminding me of muscles I forgot existed!!! I loved every minute of my walk, listening to music sun was shining can't wait for next weekend when I do it all again.

Thanks Ruth, I'm happy with that, let's hope it's taste good. Have a great long weekend

Hi, can anyone help me with the amount of syns in Alpro Plain Coconut Yoghurt x

Well done Ruth, you should be so proud of yourself, dedication is certainly paying off, keep up the good work x

Hi just a quick question.... As I noticed the yoghurts in your pic, would you know how many syns are in Alpro Plain Coconut, really love coconut but am struggling to find a syn free, although today I bought some coconut essence so I may be able to make my own. Thank you x

I absolutely love Bake off, it's one of those programs where I just sit and don't move, but once it's finished I can't stop thinking of cake!!!

Brilliant, thanks for posting this bargain, I'm off to find a home bargain.

I am now doing between 80-100 squats twice a day, I don't seem to be able to do more than that in one go.... Does this still count?

Fantastic, well done, it's such a great feeling.

George, I had to keep scrolling to your before and after pictures, you should be so proud of yourself, you truly are an inspiration to us all, you have a fantastic positive way of thinking, and as for you health.... Well I bet you docs are really pleased with you. Keep up the great work.

@ trefoil, I can't do sit ups either... How about trying leg lifts,, Lie down on your back hands down by your side and lift your legs off the floor by about a foot. It's works both lower and upper abs

Talking about cravings... I had a massive craving today for a Big fat Custard Slice... Just like the one from Greggs Bakery, my mum and Dad came for lunch today and as a treat they bought me one over, so proud of myself I cut it in half and gave the other half to my Dad! ( he was very happy ) he...

Great profile pic, glad to hear hubby us doing well. Bbq chicken looks very tasty might try that one soon.

1.5 weight gain that's not bad at all, and your right as soon as you go back eating your super foods it will disappear. Glad you had a fantastic holiday x

Well done to you you should be so proud of yourself, that is an amazing achievement

Good luck to you, I'm sure you will do really well.

@His-beau, good luck to you

Believe me that has crossed my mind, especially this morning when I open the fridge and a very lonely slice of Mississippi Pie was staring at me!, but the picture of me at my largest made me close the fridge door and do 30 squats on the spot, and carried on with my overnight oats x

Don't give up Jodieboo that would be a shame, keep up the hard work your body may be adjusting, and as Pineapples 92 said if your worried speak with your GP x

My goodness Supergirl please don't be disappointed that a loss of 4.5lb that is fantastic, look at it as the same weight as 2 bags of sugar. I don't have scales at home anymore, threw them out because of that very reason. Keep up the fantastic work.

Well done, that's fantastic, you have done really well

Hey Catherine ... You made me laugh guess the syn day, I love it! Fresh start Monday morning.

Hey hunny85, I kept my fingers crossed for...how did you get on at your first weigh in?

Hey Quins, I made quark mixed with white chocolate options and served it with SW lemon Drizzle Cake and fresh berries.... Really felt like I was indulging but I think it was all for about 4 syns, I had family over for dinner and they polished off a Mississippi Mud pie..... I am pleased to say I...

90 squats achieved this morning! Not bad for a lazy Sunday! Might even go walking later.... Listen all.. thanks ladies reading all your threads are keeping me so motivated .

To be honest Passion fruit I had no idea what Quark was! I can't believe how many recipes contains this wonderful product, I am going to try the chocolate mousse next and then the strawberry cream cups, it would be great to have a go-to treat in the fridge.... Especially low in syns , what a bonus!

Look at you Ruth ... Looking good girl ! fantastic pis. I went to Bath last weekend had an amazing time walked for miles so much to see and do... Great shopping and fantastic views. Have a fabulous time x

Great start keep up the good work, this site is great for keeping you motivated. Ra-Ra

Well done you for resisting, just finished making the lemon drizzle cake, it's ok bit too sweet for me, the taste reminds me of when I was younger eating pancakes with lemon and sugar. Worth a try the whole cake is only 8 syns x

Ok , just made the lemon Drizzle cake, using the attachment kindly posted by passion fruit, it was a little too sweet for me , and I have been racking my brain thinking of what the taste reminds me of and it is ..... Pancakes with lemon and sugar. Definitely worth a go, also made the White...

Hi Ruth, me too... walked miles today I think I need to get a pedometer as I don't actually know how far I'm walking. Walking, squats and arm exercises...I must say I'm quite impressed with myself. ( ha ha )

Catherine, my thoughts are with you and I hope your hubby is soon feeling better. If you craving junk food / sweet stuff, I just made slimming world lemon drizzle cake only 8 syns for the whole loaf, just had a slice not bad...quite sweet got the recipe off "you tube" this lady has lots of...

£3.00 for 6 but they have an offer on 2 extra free so you get 8 in a bag frozen.

Catherine, i have to say you're home made cookies did look good, you're little man did a cracking job.... Can't have yummy things like that in my house... Way to much temptation

I have just looked up the 7 in 1 instant pot duo, really impressed... Makes my slow cooker look like something from ancient times.

You are doing really well, well done

Hi Jodieboo, have you tried the Slimming World Sausages from Iceland, they are really good! And free food on extra easy.

God Ruth .... That Crunchie looks good right now! I am craving for some chocolate

Hi craftermary, I'm Pleased to say I achieved 80 squats today and 20 baked bean arm exercises / lifts for the bingo wings! - the aching muscles are easing up a bit now....not sure I'm going to be able to achieve 150 squat challenge but I will give it a good go. Nice pic of the rhino.

Good luck with your weigh in x

I totally agree with Secret Squirrel, toad in the hole looks very tasty x

Happy birthday hope you have a special day

We need to be treated now and again or else food will become a boring subject. As long as you enjoyed it then it's worth the syns, it when you use syns on something that tastes awful.... That's disappointment!!

Women of the year..., absolutely you have done amazing, you should be so proud of yourself You could even be the featured star in the Slimming World Magazine!

Hi lyricallie, love the pictures of your food, giving me some great ideas. Thanks

Hi Zoe, well done on your weight loss, it's a real buzz when you get results. Keep up the good work.

This healthy eating plan works differently for every one, keep going with the way it works for you and ignore negative people. Best of luck

Hi Ruth, we all have bad days from time to time, at least all went well at the hairdressers as your hair looks fantastic. Over half way through the week so hopefully the rest of the week will be better.

Hi Diet Virgin, don't be disheartened it's your first week and your body is just adjusting to the new way of eating, I'm sure next week will show that your hard work is definitely worth it and will inspire you to keep going. Best of luck

Right Catherine.... Extra hula hooping for you my girl! Burn off those 44 syns (ha ha )

Thanks Maria, really hope it's nice... Nothing like a slice a cake with a cuppa

Lickthelid and Rosiepops- Your both making me want to go out and buy a hoop!!!

Hi Maria, let us know how your cake went down with your club, would love to try and make it , how many syns per slice?

They are amazing, please try them. give it ago you will be pleasantly surprised.

Same here...addicted to overnight oats with as many berries as I can eat with a yoghurt for breakfast... Bagels are a huge no-no for me, the amount of syns in one bagel to me is astronomical it's a days allowance! any way I will leave you with that info might help you in resisting the...

I will second that Merlin, I couldn't believe it, I was sat with a cuppa last evening at 9 ish and before I looked up it was way gone 10, so engrossed with this forum I passed the hour that I crave chocolate most, then went to bed just incase!!!

Well done Soshbflyyour doing well, I did 75 squats this morning.....so pleased, although getting up from my desk right now seems a challenge in its self, I think I found muscles I didn't even know existed !

Well done Emmab you must be doing it right, keep it up. let us in on your food diary could give us some new ideas.

Hi Ashley, I have been advised to stick to anything tomato based. And Greeks are well known for fresh ingredients, great variety of fruits and vegetables. Hope you have a fabulous time

Hi olimber, welcome, I joined minimums for the same reason and I have to say everyone is so supportive, these guys are really keeping me on track especially with the exercise, as it's not my favourite part of losing weight. Good luck with you weigh in x

I really want to give this a go!!! Not going to say I will achieve all 150 squats ... Definitely a challenge for me. Better get on ....I have a couple of days of catching up to do. x

Hi, when I feel as if I'm falling off the wagon, I made up some syn free snacks like ham & mushroom egg muffins and pop them in the fridge also I keep chopped up fruit and veg and seafood sticks in the fridge for easy pickings not to say it is a mentally satisfying as a biscuit but as its quick...
