Hi, I have jumped back on today and I am exactly the same weight as you. I would love to lose 2 stone but I would be happy at 10 if I could get to that. I have also started a diary on the forum which I am going to update each time I eat anything in the hope this makes me stick to it. Good luck...

I have the wildfire and its a good little phone! I discovered minimins app last night after deciding that I'm getting on the 'healthy eating' again! I made my first post this morning but it just kept saying it was contacting the server so if you notice, that's why I have 3 posts exactly the...

I did sw last year and managed to lose just over a stone for my wedding. Anyway, I have put it all back on again, I have pcos and came off the pill so I haven't exactly been eating loads, one of the side effects is weight gain. So here I am back again! Need to brush up on my sw skills though...

Anyone know the syn value of these? They are just the normal 6 pack of small low fat yogs from Tesco, they are dark blue in colour. I have really gone off mullers cause I have eaten that many of them! Thanks Lesley x

yeyyyyy. Thanks hun. Chops and sausage for tea tonight then!!! I'm on a red!

They are in the chilled section and come in a pack of 8. Can anyone let me know how many syns they are please? thanks Lel x

Well it certainly wasn't cause I was hungry. I just felt like having one and then went a bit mad. I just do it for the sake of it if that makes sense?? Anyway, I have been really good today and I feel so much more positive!! i have even done exercise!

Thankyou for finding out for me. Well they were the orange ones so there went 18 syns!!!! I really hate myself. I really want to cry! I don't know why I do it! other half just says that 'well that was stupid wasn't it, you need to control yourself!' that just makes me feel even worse and I...

Well done Amber. That's a great loss.

I am due on and feeling really depressed and down and as I am cooking my tea (fish, rice and veg) I have just eaten 3 Rocky bars!!!:eek: Why do I do it! I am so peed off with myself cause I just can't get in gear to do this! I do'nt even know how many syns one of them is?? Can someone have...

I stayed the same. Pleased with that though as I didn't go last week with it being bank holiday and I haven't really stuck to it.

I did green, red, extra easy and I think I had a mix to max in there too.

Thank you peeps. I have started dabbling on mix 2 max and extra easy so still getting my head round it.

and I lost 5lb wayhey!!!! I'm well chuffed. was fine through the week but always find the weekend a struggle so wasn't expecting to lose that much at all. I have set myself a mini target to lose 2 lb this week so that I can get my 1/2 stone award. my class isn't on next Monday so I will...

I have sliced some pork chops, mushrooms, peppers, and onion. I have put garlic, 5 chinese spice, bit of ginger and tumeric in and I was hoping for your thoughts on what I can do to ensure its nice? I have vlf fromage frais so I could stir a bit of that in when its nearly done or a bit of...

sorry about that hun. hope things pick up for you x

had a few drinks last night and then had my tea but after that I ate 3 jam tarts and then had a few spoons of ice cream! I I probably had about 20 syns in drink alone so not a good night!!:cry: I started on monday and when I weighed myself on Thursday I had lost 6lb!!!! I get weighed again...

Thank you x

Hi, I would love to be a consultant but not sure how it works. I take it that you have to "buy" the groups or something like that and then purchase your equipment and stuff??

put my stats under my avatar pic? ie Diet: Slimming World Height: 5' 4" Start Date: 30 Mar 2009 Start Weight: 165lb Goal Weight: 136lb Club 10: 148lb Thanks Lesley

I used to love the pagan rolls but wasn't sure how they measured up on the SW plan (I do it at home myself) Do you have them as a HEB or do you syn them?

On average, how much do you think you spend on SW food for the week. I know its probably hard to work out cause buying for the rest of the family etc. We don't spend much on our shops (3 of us and prob spend about £40 per week) and I know that if I start throwing extra stuff for me in that the...

i thought you were supposed to eat both of your HEB on the normal plans? Does it help if you drop one with the weight loss?

well done you!! 2.5 loss is good especially if you had a few treats.

Welcome back. I too started again on Monday so everyone is in this together!

Well done you!!! Have you done it all using Extra Easy??

Thanks girlies! ooooo, do I have another and B it or do I have just the one and syn it so I can have a spud tonight??? decisions decisions! Lesley x

Anybody know how many syns per slice or whether they can be used as HEB? They are lovely if you haven't tried them by the way. Lesley x

I've just finished day one on extra easy and it was ok. I just hope I have done it right. it just seemed too easy!

fantastic. you all look great. I will have to get my before picture done in the next couple of days then hopefully i will get to the stage where i can post an after picture!

so you can effectively have a few more syns then if you are counting the lowest value

I thought that you were meant to have your syns? I would normally have 10 syns so would i be better having none?

Hi, Just started again today and want to know if I can class today as an extra easy and have lots of stew tonight for tea without limiting my beef:confused:. Hope you can let me know before 5.30 tonight as I'm starving:drool...

Well, I said on Monday that I was starting again, I got to Monday night and had a bottle of wine and ice cream. So I started again yesterday and nose dived at night again with a huge spag bol with lots of grated cheese and a packet of crisps and another bottle of wine. So today I have given up...

Hi All, Nice to see there are some newbies too! Well, I went on my hols in August to an all inclusive resort, had a crackin time but haven't really stopped eating since I got back!!!! I am now half a stone heavier than my last starting weight but now I have an incentive!!! I got engaged...

I agree with Taz. I am being treated for depression at the minute and at the time I didn't really know what was causeing it but it is a chemical imbalance. Just think of it as your brain is feeling a bit ill at the minute, If you had a really sore through you would take tablets to clear it up...

I lost 1lb this week. seems to be coming off me very slowly, I hope I get a biggy next week!

Hi sorry its late but lost 2.5lb at last wednesday's wi. Hoping for another 2lb this wednesday but totm so not holding out!

She looks great! I take it she is you??? if not then there is a canny resemblance! I think tattoo's are addictive, I'd love another, just the cost of it thats holding me up!

well done for losing! I hope I can do the same after being naughty at the weekend:D

Looks great well done on your loss. I think I might follow in your footsteps and get an online diary started! trouble is o/h though, hogs the comp. We will be getting a laptop for me though but not just yet so that will help!

I wouldn't mind joining but have to say that I gained 1.5 lb last week and don't think I'm on for a good week this wednesday either!

Hi, Anyone tried it? Its supposed to be really good for burning calories and toning but I beleive it is really hard going??

put 1.5 lb on! was expecting it to be honest. Had a bad week and had 2 beef burgers with normal oven chips last night followed by about 4 mini milks and 2 hi-fi bars!!!!:eek: I have got to stay focused this week. Have done a proper list of meals for tea and done a shop so that I know I have...

I've been going to class for 2 weeks now and each week I have only lost 1 lb. I drink vodka at the weekend and yes I do binge but I don't use any syns through the week. I am sure that this is why I'm not losing so much though so this week I am going to try to stay off alcohol over the weekend...

maybe our consultant was wrong then. I would go off what it says on the website and magazine.

well I lost 1 lb, was hoping for more but at least its a loss. I am going to try to be a bit more structured this week with my meals. bought a couple of recipe books last night at class so will try some stuff out of there. I am going to aim for 2 lbs next week now!

our consultant mentioned these at our group last night and they are actually 4.5 syns per pack.

Thanks girls. I hope it will be alright. too late now anyway. I keep coming on for a couple of days each week too since the doctor swopped my pill so that can't be good either!

tomoz, and I'm not looking forward to it. Wish I had stuck to the plan better this week as it's only my first week. I need to take the time out to sort my weekly menu's out but I am that busy that I just don't find the time. I feel like I have a thousand and one things to do which always take...

I always struggle at the weekend. only rejoined last wednesday and due for first weigh in this coming week. always do well through the week and then drink to much and eat too much at the weekend. I stuck to a chicken chow mein last night though and slimming world online says its around 9 syns...

Well I rejoined my local group again last night and I have to say I am defo glad I did. It was miles different! loads going on, about 20 people stayed, had a raffle, talked about recipes and what works and what can slow you down. Miles better than when I joined last time and paid to stand on...

Hi all, Has anyone got around 1 - 2 stone to lose? I was wondering if it is harder if you have less to lose. I have been trying now for about a month and have lost 2 lb then put it back on, etc, etc. I am taking the pludge and re-joining a class next week in the hope that this might work...

Well done, you are doing really well. I have been trying to lose without going to classes but I'm struggling so I'm going rejoin next wednesday

spoke to the new slimming world consultant and I have to pay again to join. she said that I should have mentioned at the time why I left. I might just join again anyway! gonna check it out first though and make sure that people are staying behind.

I haven't tried measuring myself so I'll maybe give that a go. I have bougth a little pocket pad which I can keep with me and write everything down that passes my lips. I hope I can get sorted out with a class but I bet they want me to pay to join again and there's no chance! Thanks for all...

I have heard of the fast forward thing but I don't know exactly what to do so I'll have a read up on it. I am going to see if I can join a class again, the one I joined last time was rubbish, no one there and I was literally paying to step on the scales and then come home. A new consultant has...

I have just been doing running and the cross trainer but I don't feel any different. about 7 years ago I was about the same weight and I dieted whilst going to the gym and lost 1 1/2 stone, it seemed to fall off. I just don't understand it! I feel like a frumpy mum who has let herself go...

I have been living on salads this week (red days) and eating plenty of fruit and yogs. I have also been going to the gym for the last month and I just don't seem to be losing anything! I feel like crying:cry:! I don't have a weigh in until Friday morning but I have just checked myself and I...

I can't stand the taste of natural yog on its own, does it taste alright with fruit? would it still be free if we pureed our fruit or would that turn into a syn?

Mullers have gone so expensive now, the other week they were 6 for £1 now they are 4 for £2!!! How do they work that out??? Anyone know of any other syn free (cheaper) yogs??? I'm having withdrawal symptoms! Even Asda'a own have gone up!:cry:

I have just been to get a jacket sput with beans!

Hi everyone, Not been on for ages so hello to those of you who remember me! i really am so naff at sticking to things but I really need to do something now! I just can't get the motivation to do anything! I sit there and think I can't be botherd! my weight has gone up more now so now i...

It will cost you less if you just join a group...anywhere....get the books and then do one. It's normally about a tenner to join and you have to pay your first week. you will get all the books that you need by doing it that way. You will prob pay more on ebay and by doing it online

Hey Son, i think from these comments I want your shopping list!:)

Hi son & everyone else. Well I am back with my tail between my legs, I so haven't stuck to the diet so I am going to try again from today. I think I have put more weight on so I now have more to shift but my scales aren't working. I was just reading a post about tesco yogurts though...

I am starting again today, and stocked up on Tesco healthy living yogs yesterday. I have just checked the syns list online and it says that they are free??? it is listed as 100g and the pots I have are 200g like the mullers. Can someone confirm that this is correct or do they have syns?? I'm...

user name: curlygirl starting weight: 11.1 stone target loss for 1st stage: 7lb weigh in day: Monday

I'll join!! I think 7lb for 5 weeks is a good start. People could set their own targets though so that everyone doesn't have to hit the same loss. Or did you plan on doing this anyway?

Thank you all for your support. I think I am going to try and do it again tomorrow. I find the green days alot easier and alot cheaper but I think if I did just green days with the odd red one then I won't lose. have you ever had all green (CJTJ - i know you do cause you're veggy) do you find...

Thanks Mrs V. I know you are right, I think it is just the mood that I am in. You know when you really really really want to do something but then sometimes you think s*d it! I am going to try harder. I could do with writing out what I am going to eat for the week and then making a shopping...

I am really struggling to keep at this. I have dumped the class cause our consultant was finishing and didn't kow whether they would carry on as no-one goes anymore. I was fed up of paying £4.50 to step on the scales and nothing else. I really want to do it but I keep slipping. I need to...

put 1lb on!:( have got to try and lose 3 this week. Our consultant told us last night that she is leaving in a couple of weeks - aparantly they are changing things and stuff is going to be done electronically??? Don't know whether someone will be carrying the group on or not? Typical...

I am keeping everything crossed for tomorrow night. have been having red days since sunday so hopefully it should be good.

Hi Carrie, Did you complete your offer? you need too make sure you do that or your referals don't count. I did the mecca on cause you put 10 quid in and they give you another 10 quid for free (so its free really) and I won £4.50! Lets hope we get our ipod exercise clubs going soon! x

Thanks girls! I am hoping that I will have lost again this week. Weigh in tomorrow!

hi all, not been on all week. I was dreading going to sw last weddnesday night but it wasn't so bad after all! I lost 3 pound. better than the 0.5 the previous week. Not sure how I am going to do this week but at least I am feeling more positive! How have you all been? I want an ipod...

Hi, have drank loads of liquid today and thanks for all your support! I must say, I feel really disheartened and last night, I rebelled, I grabbed the phone and rang the chinese! so i guess I'm not gonna lose anything this week either!:(

thanks for the password. I know it is in the right direction but i was just a bit gutted it was only half a pound. Wish I felt like my money was worth it too. If I lost a bit more I wouldn't be as bothered about the group being naff!:sigh:

lost 0.5 pound!!! gutted! I paid my money again and she weighed me and that was it. There was no-one there for the image therapy thingie, I feel like I am being robbed of my money!!! I didn't even get the password!!! Is anyone else's group like this?

Well, today will be my first week of slimming world. I have to get weighed tonight but to be honest I'm not looking forward to it! We went for a meal on Friday night and other than this I have stuck to it every day. i got on my scales a the day before yesterday and it said i had put 2 lb...

don't be so hard on yourself! and if you feel like giving up then just remind yourself that you will have wasted the past 8 weeks. just think how chuffed you will be when you get there!

Thanks Sonban. I want to get on and start putting my shopping list together. Anything which may help me is worth doing. I am missing stodge already. I have to admit that I am starving at the minute. Its probably only cause I can't fill up on free food all the time cause I'm diabetic. I...

Well, I went to my class last night, was a bit disappointed cause the leader wasn't there and it was 2 little ladies sat behind the desk. I gave my tenner, got my book and got weighed and that was that! I know it will be better next week when the leader is back but I was so looking forward...

Good luck Vicki. I am also joining slimming world tonight at 7.30. have been trying to do it at home on my own without much success, too easy to cheat. Good luck to both of us! and everyone else!:)

Well, I haven't been on the forum cause as you know I was going to join my local class last Wednesday night at 7.30. Well, partner had to nip out and was gonna get back in time for me going (so he could take over with the baby), 7.00 came and I was thinking "this isn't going to happen!", any...

Its so hard isn't it. I love my little girl to bits but I can't help wishing for the body I had before her to come back (although I'm sure she loves her cuddlier mummy!) Well, my mother in law is coming with me tonight now so we will have each other for support to! And if we go to hers for...

Well I have taken the plunge and I am starting a class tonight at 7.30! Its only down the road so it is a good excuse to get some exercise on my bike too, might go for a ride after it! I don't know what is making it so difficult to lose in the last year and a half, could be: A) having a...

I have been trying to do it at home but seem that I just can't do it! thats why I am thinking of joining my local club. Have always felt a bit begrudging of paying a fiver to get weighed though!

Which do you think is the best. I have been trying at home for months now and the first week I did it I lost about 5 lb. I have been on and off since though and I am struggling quite a bit. I started at 11 stone and now I'm 11,2. HELP

Do you find that you don't lose as uch on a green day though?

Hi, well lost it over the weekend but have started again day! Was at the hospital on Friday and ended up having treatment under local anesthetic which I wasn't expecting, so I have been feeling sorry for myself! Fresh day, fresh week.......I hope I can do it this time!

they sound lovely. I take it they are free on green days?

Yeh, you can still have lots on green days that doesn't contain wheat. i am looking forward to having a lot more red days with the hot weather coming!!! One word -BARBEQUES!!!!!

Red or Green days?:confused: I personally find the green days easier! especially when I am at work.

Well done jenniebellie!!! you have done so well! not far to go now!

fanastic list. This should make things so much more interesting!

I am starting sw again today, just as I thought I have put everything back on that I lost just after christmas but at least I know that I can lose it again! I think I'll go for green today! :)

Thank you so much for your understanding and belief in me. God, that sounds really deep doesn't it! but, you know what I mean. I am a strong believer in its normally the people on the outside who don't know you who can really see how things are! I am so determined to do this! I put some...

I have always liked taking photo's, just the point and click ones though. Anyhows, I have just bought a panasonic lumix fz7 and it is great. Haven;t really got a clue how to use it as I am just learning. Here are a couple of pics I have taken, the first is my daughter in the background...

Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will find it a great help. Its good to be able to talk to people in the same situation who understand exactly what you are going on about when you moan.

I have some quorn mince in the freezer so I will will get the other bits at the weekend and try it then. i think I will put this on my weekly plan!

dont worry about it! I had 4 weeks on being good and then have jjust had about 8 weeks off!!! myweakness is stodgy food and I needed it! I am starting again tomorrow! At least you know what you are doing and you aren't trying to pretend that you have stuck to it!

i think I might try planning my meals for the week! this way I will have less chance of temptation cause I will already know what I am having! I have just walked up to tesco with the baby in her pram and got stocked up on my free tesco yogurts so I think I have enough stuff in my cupboards to...

right, I need to motivate myself as I am unhappy at the minute! This is what I used to look like a couple of years ago (a few months before I found out I was pregnant) and this is me now, about 2 stone heavier! I don't know how these women do it who have kids and are back in their...

Hi, i was just wondering how you sort your week out? Do you just decide what you are going to eat on the day or do you plan your week in advance? I am just about to start again on slimming world and was thinking that it may be easier if I actually plan my weekly menu instead of trying to...

hey peeps, I have so fell off the bandwagon. Gutted, I stuck to the diet for about 4 weeks and lost a stone and then I had a few issues and I desperately needed my stodgey comfort food! I daren't weigh myself as I think I will be more than when I started! I am going to start again on...

Hi All, sorry if this is a silly question. I want to make a beef stew in my slow cooker. I am on slimming world and having a red day so I can't put any spuds in there if I want it to stay free. My question is....If there are no spuds in there how will I thicken it up so its not like...

Well, yesterdays bad day turned into an even worse day, my boyf went the chippy and I had chips, beans (free) and Chicken (healthy extra). well stuff it! I have been really good today, only had 7.5 sins so heres to the rest of the week

when I have potatoes I have either a jacket spud or new potatoes cooked in their skin. If you find that they are too dry then stick a couple of laughing cow triangles in them to moisten them and make them a bit cheesy. You only need to use 2 triangles and you can have 5 as a healthy extra...

akeli, Any weight that you lose is a bonus! even if its just 0.5lb! I have had a bad day today, got through all day on free food and then my mother in law gave me a piece of birthday cake from the weekend, I was having a hypo (I'm type 1 diabetic) so I thought welll I need sugar so stuff...

thank you everyone for you kind comments and support. Here's to this week. I'll be happy even if I just lose a pound or 2. good luck to everyone else!

Good to hear that you are so focussed on your goal ahead! If you keep in that frame of mind I am sure that you will reach your target. I have been doing slimming world for just over a week now and I do'nt go to classes so if you need someone to chat to then give me a shout

Hi, if it isn't time of the month then I would try cutting your sins down a bit. How many sins a day are you having at the moment?

I get quite a bit of stuff from Peacocks! they have a great selection and the quality of the products range from cheap as chips (ie £8 for a pair of trousers) to an average price (£16 - £20 for a pair of trousers). I definately find it much better than Newlook (think its gone down the pan!) :)

I think its more about keeping your heart rate up cause thats when you burn you fat! I would think it would be better to do it a little faster and for a little less time, then you can concentrate on building the time up every few times you go on. At the end of the day, whatever way you are...

Thanks hun, i can't believe it, I know that you always lose more your first week but it definately has given me the incentive to keep going. the best thing is that I don't really feel like I am on a diet! My shop to slim at tesco book came today and I can't wait to go shopping now! There...

Hi All, Just wanted to post about how my first week went. All in all it was very good, can't say that I have felt hungry in between meals so something good must be happening! I had a bit of naff day on Saturday, I saw stodge and I needed it!!! needed it badly, I did cave in but I didn't go...

toasted soda bread with loads of butter sinking into it so that it drools down my chin! 5+

guess they are going in the bin then, or partner could munch them when he gets in! Thanks Karen, Curly x

Hi all, I am having a green day today and I have just cooked some fish fingers for my daughter by mistake. Does anyone know if I can have these as a healthy extra with jacket spud and beans??? ta very muchas curly x

they aren't quorn ones, they are proper sausages with less fat. they were from a market stall called "the sausage man". he said that slimming world recommended them and they are actually labelled as syn free. I think I will presume that this is on a red day though. Can I have all sorts of...

Hi there, I saw some syn free sausages at the butchers today, garlic ones and leek ones. So needless to say I snaffled them up. I have a question though, are the always syn free or just on a red day? I am glad its just red and green days and not all the colours of the rainbow!!!! x

Hi there, I have just started doing slimming world yesterday. I am doing it at home so need to keep focussed. I have had 2 green days up to now, the food seems a little easier on green so I am a bit worried about the red days. think I will be living on stew! x

Thanks Karen, I really hope it works. I can't beleive how different you look in your pictures! It really gives me the incentive to actually do something when you see whats actually acheivable. And the best of it is, we are all real people, not just some gimmick on tv! xx

thanks Karen, I will see how I get on. if I find that I'm not losing should I drop to a few less syns? x

I want to lose about a stone and half. x

Hi, I am doing slimming world but not going to classes. Can anyone tell me how many syns I should have a day? I know it is between 5 - 15 but are you supposed to have a certain amount for your weight? thanks curlygirl x

did anyone find that you lose more on a green/original day? or does it not really matter? x

hi yamyam, don't worry about it, we all have days where we slip, I have been slipping since my little girl was born, 15 months ago!! I too have pcos and do find it difficult to lose weight and very easy to pile it one! I decided that I want to do something about it instead of sitting...

Hi everyone, I started slimming world yesterday (not going to classes, i have the info to do it at home). Had a green day yesterday and went well. I just wanted to say, I can't beleive I am sat here at lunch time eating egg, chips & beans!!!!! (all sin free of course on a green day!) Are you...
