I know what you mean Jim, I made myself log off an do some work lol I start reading diaries and never get to the end of the page! Ive read some all the way through - brilliant for knowledge, terrible for housework et al ;) Ems LOL! Its funny because I like coffee but until starting atkins I...

Afternoon Katie, hope youre ok :)

Afternoon! Love the big mac, it will become a regular :) I was in boots today looking at the bars and tbh I walked away disgusted at how much they expect us to pay to buy them! Not a bad thing though because Id probably want them all the time if I had one Hope your days going well x

Have a lovely time - I love Sweeney Todd :)

LOL Yay to no pancake boobage :) Today is a new day and we all have blips, you have all this dedication to the exercise that I think you will probably get away with one slip up :) x

P.S. Im supposed to be painting but Im sitting reading all your diarys hehe

Hiya Tamzy hope you're good today! Its hard to balance the whole more fats less dairy thing especially without red meat, you're doing really well being inventive to get them in there. I tend to rely on my fatty meats and butter/olive oil on everything to get me through lol The fish...

Well done on the loss! Im on day 2 pepsi max free, we can do it lol

Afternoon! Katie cheeseburger pie is definitely a fave :) Ems - I will look for those the next time Im in tescos, I must admit my teeth are not loving me with the pork scratchings lol I love the soya milk and Ive found I dont need sweetner in my coffee now so its a double win, I never...

thanks everyone! Ive got tesco unsweetened soya milk and just having my first coffee with it - yummy! Im not worried about the fats as I work them into my food, it was really to try and experiment with reducing the amount of cream Im having.

You look beautiful Katie - that dress is amazing, the cut, the colour, the embellishments all fabulous!

LOL Im just about to try unsweetened soya for the first time - wish me luck!

Its in her diary she posted yesterday I think? Its on the last page :)

Thanks Jim! Hi ems yeah all fine now just wanted to rant somewhere about it lol cheeseburger pie is indeed brill for any time of the day! Its quick and easy in the morning and I must admit im moving away from breakfast "norms" the longer im on atkins. Just had food delivered - going to...

OK today B - cheeseburger pie + coffee dash of cream L - cheeseburger pie and salad + coffee (with mum) D - something with chicken, not sure yet, either mayo and lettuce or curry and veg A - No W - 5 pints so far! S - had two packs of pork scratchings to stave off hunger till...

thanks, I want to start using cream more in my cooking but want to still enjoy my coffee. So I thought using soya milk mainly in drinks and cream in most cooking (curries etc). This way I should be able to keep the fats up but reign in the cream!

hiya, thanks is it ok to use in scrambled eggs or other recipes that usually require milk?

Ive ordered some with my shopping and was wondering do you just use it in drinks? Ive been having cream in my coffee but have been missing my tea. I wondered if there are any other things we can use soya milk for? Also is it a known staller like cream/milk/cheese or is it a case of...

That looks lovely! I was just about to go looking for sauces for a bit of variet on mayo/curry :)

Hiya Tamzy, hope youre having a nice weekend The roasted stuffed peppers sound lush - going on my menu for next week defo x

Love the tattoo - looks painful though lol You are looking soooo slim!! Theres no such thing as a measly pound, especially when you are looking that fab!!!!!!! x

It is lush Ems, each portion is really filling too. Well weigh in day today and Ive lost 2lb! Ive been weighing everyday (I know I know) and the scales literally stayed the same all week till this morning. The only difference I can see is that I cut out the pepsi max this week, so from now...

My mum used to do that when she did nights as a nurse, a glass of vino before bed :) x

Hope youre feeling better today x

-2 for me this week :)

Today B - 2 sausages 2 eggs 1 coffee black L - none BUT Ant got me a coffee machine for mothers day and ive had 2 "proper" coffees with cream (novelty will wear off soon I hope) D - cheeseburger pie Yummers A - nope W - working on it 3 or 4 pints so far Ive had no sf drinks today...

sorry that was too funny not to like PMSL

Well done!!!!!! Can you tell the wooshie fairy its my weigh in day tomorrow please lol x

Your pics are all lovely! My food never looks so pretty x

Ahh thanks, I knew about the filters just thought there must be more to it - it cant be that easy lol Loving the piccies and a four year old demented bearded dragon sounds like non stop LOLs hehe :)

Turns out I ordered twice, which put a glitch in the matrix - confused cos Im not a double clicker and quite patient at waiting for things to load (ah well). So anyway, my paid for next day delivery is defunct and items will hopefully arrive Monday!

Sorry to hear about the cake, hope you had a nice chilled evening :) Have a good time tonight x

I hope you enjoyed the take away - we all have to have a treat occassionally right? Just get back on today :) Bren I buy the frozen ones from tesco and cook them with bacon - they are lush. However when I tried the nice big fresh ones in shells I hated them, they have the consistency of snot...

I hope the haircut cheers you up a bit and makes you feel fabulous :) x

Have a great night Claire, have a few drinks for me lol x

Sounds brilliant, your dress sounds beautiful and we really need pictures ;) a 14 yippee!! Have a lovely night x

Im just reading that now Katie - very interesting!

Sounds lovely Jo! Holidays are a great incentive arent they - our holiday is also the BIL getting married so Im doubly motivated as there will be pics a plenty! Cant wait to hear all about your reading, my mum and I are currently looking for someone reputable on the Island to go and see...

Morning! Sounds like you have a lovely day planned today :) Id say up your water too, Ive decided today to cut the cream out and I never thought about the salt thing, its probably worth keeping an eye on! Have a lovely day xx

Morning!! Yep shes a devil on TBL and youll love some of the comments she makes on the dvd - quite funny lol Not much planned this w/e a bit of shopping and weather depending will take the boys out tomorrow. Hubby is working lates tonight and tomorrow so a bit limited! OK Food for...

Very helpful article! Thanks for posting :)

Thanks hun! Little man slept all afternoon but I left him cos he obviously needed it - he seems fine now :) I m fine, been looking through recipes think I fancy it all tbh lol Yeah the rolos have left the building via the kids. Ahhh never thought Id let Jillian back into my life, but...

Thanks Di I have been really good its mainly flax meal and veg that Ive had with any carbs (apart from things with no fibre in). Ive been having cream in coffee (1 or 2 a day, mostly 1 occasionally 2). Ive been writing everything down in a pad I bought especially for that purpose and...

well done amazing loss!

sounds lovely Jim, defo beats my egg mayo lol x

Thanks Jim, hope youre well? :) I think I just had a bit of a panic on and took it out on the leeks lol

prawns and garlic sound divine simple and delicious! x

well done for being your lowest weight! I cant wait to get to mine, such an inspiration to see people getting there :) AND you all make me feel so much better for having a cheeky wine or vodka LOL x

Morning! Hope you managed to get it all done :) youve inspired me to put my zumba dvd on and give it a go today. Ive got my youngest at home poorly so no excuse not to stick the dvd in for half hour! Have a good day x

Im loving the fish and frogs, we used to catch the frogs in my grandads pond - then let them go again of course! Id love a pond but we rent at the moment so will have to wait. Hubby wants to get tropical fish and I think they look lovely but as is the trend in our house I'd end up cleaning...

Well had a nice early start today 3am - my 3 yr old being sick :(. We had a letter home from 9yr olds school saying about a bug going round yesterday (3 yr old goes to playschool there) and low and behold I have a poorly little man. So today Im guzzling water and going to try the meat and...

Morning! I love scallops, why havent I had them yet doh! I think Ill get some this w/e :D

LOL you lot crack me up - Alpaca it sounds like you had a truly enchanting night and Im loving the nickname pmsl!

The theory behind me darkening mine was to lessen the damage and make it grow....but I like being bleach blonde trash too much lol :P!! Morning Claire how r you today? xx

spicey prawns sound lovely - must try :)

TOTAL IDIOT ALERT Mrs "I know how to do atkins" has been deducting fibre from carbs, SH%T. So my leeks and aubergines and MIMs are probably going to mess up my WI this week. Arghhhh oh well at least I know now eh? Today B - 3 egg mayo, round lettuce L - 2 sausages 0.8c and 2 bacon...

I dyed mine dark once and hated it, I also accidently dyed it purple-rinse purple when putting an ash blonde over bleach lol. Thought sod it and dyed it bright purple before going dark and then back to blonde!

Loving your exercise dedication....please send some my way!

TF - LOL I think hes lovely ;)

Morning! Cant believe the doctor said that - surely they should encourage and find strategies around it all coming back on rather than telling you it will!!

I wish I had the guts to go to spin, I dont think Id be able to keep up! Sounds like youre in for a good loss ;), well done!

Well done on the weightloss, 10lbs in fantastic! Meat and eggs sounds hardcore but I think it's a good "stall tool" (almost rhymes) lol Keep up the good work!!

ahhh live and learn - and I bet it was worth it! Although come lunch time you might disagree lol

Morning! Yes I resisted, had a coffee with cream instead while watching masterchef - food torture! Hubbys day off today so hopefully a nice day out. Im taking a packed lunch with me and have also decided to cut out the pepsi max during the week so will grab a bottle of water. Its...

Well done on the losses everyone, Honda onwards and downwards :) xx

Morning Jim - yeah the original ones and most of the others are but the sesame ones work out at 4.8 which I don't mind using a quarter of the allowance on :) Today B - mim, 2 beef slices, butter, mayo + coffee n cream L - 3 egg mayo salad, round lettuce leaves D - leek, bacon...

Ok today B - leftover quiche from yesterday L - chicken, mayo, tikka seasoning on a savory MIM D - aubergine, leek, cabbage and mince fried in olive oil A - not tonight W - Lots and lots 2 coffees with a dash of cream and 1 sweetner, one glass pepsi max with my lunch - trying to cut...

Yep me too, I think it's also a good way of identifying things that stall you and things that don't by elimination

I hope you're feeling better today Claire - it's so unfair that the mindset is there and your body isn't playing ball. Definitely take a break and get yourself back to normal. xx

Thanks emma - my amazing meals, you mean the vodka and pepsi max haha. I tried slimfast and lasted a day - I still have two tins in the cupboard! I don't know why I drifted from atkins in the first place tbh!

Hi katie, thanks :) Hiya Jim, I hope so! I get the sesame ones which work out around 4 net carbs, when I did atkins a few years ago I swore by them as a "crunch fix". Are they not legal then? Today B - Ryvita, mayo, beef L - babybel, pork scratchings (not the best lunch but been on the...

Had a lovely day today, took my youngest to the beach and then picked up oldest from a party. They both had ice - creams while I guzzled the water!!! Lucky me lol B - MIM toasted with cheese L - chicken, curry powder + mayo with round lettuce D - The AMAZING pizza-from-chicken creation...

I totally sympathise I spent from 0ctober- February doing exactly what you are. Now Ive gotten my head down and doing it properly I only drink once or twice a week (although you arent supposed to on induction) and if I do I make sure Ive got the right food - mims, fridge raiders, boiled eggs...

Well done on the loss! I've avoided roasts/carverys so far but today I'm looking forward to my cauli cheese and dont even want yorkshires or roasties - never thought I'd see the day!!

Don't feel bad, try to guzzle the water and draw a line under it. :) As for the weighing everyday - I do this too, partly because in the early stages I want to be sure I'm doing everything correctly and partly because I like the boost I get if I've lost another pound. I know there will be...

It's a shame eggs stink so much - such a handy snack food! I still haven't tried celeriac yet - I got it into my head it was rather carby, then discovered it wasn't and just haven't got round to trying it yet.

Trying to read everyones diaries - so confusing, it's so much easier being a lurker! Im going to start with yesterday B - coffee n cream, ryvita + cheese with butter L - curry powder with chicken and mayo, baked aubergine D - chicken (again) mixed steam veg W - Loads, about 8 pints I...

I can't wait to see your inventions, deep fried prawns sound lovely xx

Well done on the loss!!!Brilliant. Marigold hotel looks fab, even the hubby wants to see it but he refuses to watch it at the cinema! LOL

I haven't read either but amazon reviews are usually a good indicator if you're deciding between two.

Well done on the loss! Ive been reading through your diary the last few days and find the dream stuff amazingly fascinating, what a gift to have although I am sure it must be scary sometimes too. Anyway, yesterday I was reading the ppost where you explained what had been going on etc and my...

Thanks :) I must admit this forum has been a life saver in the recipe and MIM ideas. I lost about 2 stone on atkins after I had my first son 9 years ago and I think I got bored as I was eating eggs, chicken, cheese and bacon with a few greens chucked in. Looking back now it's mental I stayed...

I've been messing around doing atkins since November but kept losing/gaining the same few pounds due to days off and LOTS of wine! So I've got and read several of the atkins books, have been a serial lurker here for AGES and have stopped the wine (still have vodka and pepsi max twice a week...

-6 lbs this week for me! (Second week strict induction)

It's a shame when the scales don't move but the inches (as katie said in another post) are what people see. :)

I totally third your rant! It is ridiculous, not only will people agree with this man, they will probably post on other boards with the story presenting it as being a proven factual account. I think this is definitely a case of receiving horrifying news and trying to find a reason for it...

You look brilliant! Can really see a difference on your waist hun, and gosh check out those boobies, wit wooo hehe xx

No to the icecream van but the other thing works I had it last night! About 150mls double cream, 1 tspn vanilla essence and 1-2 tspns sweetner all in a bowl and mixed with an electric whisk. I froze it for an hour then ate - yummy.

Aww bless him! You just need to get him a little suit now and he's on his way, I can just see this as the beginning of "Lego Industries". :)

Well after a crappy week of too much wine and a horrible cold my children decided to make me feel better by water logging the scales in the bathroom at bedtime. So I'm going to get a new set in the week and weigh next Friday - hopefully this week will be better food/wine/exercise wise and I...

well done Bevsy, brilliant loss :)

Exactly, with the inches its a difference you can SEE which is always better! I'm sure aswell that maybe some of the weight is muscle and Im not saying it in a placating "cop out" way I really think the kettlebells form muscle quickly, especially as you were using that badboy weight at the...

I lost 2lbs this week which Im happy with, Ive had far too much wine this week and Saturday I was very naughty so yay!! Im out tonight so expect a hit but I'll be exercising and guzzling water next week to try and see the 12s on Friday. Well done everyone else and shazza its got to be...

'cos they wont carry those "manbag" things! lol edited to say - I dread to think what Id weigh if I shoved my handbag on the scales with me - its like a mini suitcase.

I managed to go from friday till today but couldnt resist this morning! Ive decided not to weigh until friday morning now though LOL

LOL Im with you on the dodgy hip swing, they do just sort of jut out in spasms by the end. I also feel slightly idiotic at the jumping moves cos I know I cant do them, they are too quick for me to have any coordination with them. Im hoping perserverence shall bring coordination.

Im a potter fan too, although Im saving it to take my eldest to see once the summer hols have started. Enjoy!

Ive been doing mine at home and I really need to get a HRM because Im a sweaty red mess when I finish, just as much as any aerobics/shred and I must admit I much prefer zumba.

Oops!! What about some nice tasty water?? No me neither lol. I'd have to go jump on the trampoline to earn some cals back I think, surely it's not like working out? I wish we had a trampoline! Maybe cook up a bowl of veg? Not very appealing on its lonesome but could fill a hole without making...

Just wanted to say well done and you do look amazing and just like Lyndsey I think Im 60/40...LOL. Oh and I tried your pizza creation today but used 2 half fat cheese slices, mozzarella, tom puree and pineapple. The whole thing came in at 377 and satisfied both my cheese craving and pizza...

I hope today wasn't too hard and that you managed to find comfort from each other Tina, sending you lots of hugs. Well done on the 4lbs brilliant!!

Oh and the sheepdog thing your mum said made me LOL muchly hehe

You looked amazing!! I have to say I lurrrve your shoes too!! Water retention is a pig and partly the reason I changed WI from mon to friday!! lol

Yes! I like a lil bit of push and a lil bit of pad (I dont like the oooo I have erect nipples look lol). It seems either a pillows worth of misshapen padding or a thin layer of material that couldnt support a marshmallow!

I've just caught up on your diary and....I love you lol!!! Anyway the childrens service thing - my cousin has sever learning difficulties and aspergers. He's now 24 and lives in sheltered accomodation but my aunty had to fight for everything. It took her 10 years and endless video footage of...

Sounds lovely! Sunday roasts are actually THE BEST EVER!!! lol. I think I need to look into this pizza sharing thing, so many of you seem to be rather good at it.

OK Ive had a few days off - mainly because hubbys been off work after doing 10 straight shifts so we've been out and about and doing stuff with the kids. Ive been cal counting still although I had winegate on Friday and sausagegate on saturday LOL. I shall be resuming normal Jillo service...

Well done! I sooo want to get a kettle bell, I've been reading that thread in the fitness section about it....sounds fab!

Youre a better woman than me lol, I didnt even get the zumba in yesterday and I had promised myself that I would. However I took it as a rest day for my muscles lol.

OK I have decided to change my weigh in from Monday to Friday, so jumped on the scales this morning and Ive lost 3lb!! Im so chuffed, I can't wait to get back into the 12s and never see 13 again!!!! Kirsty_baird_26 - 5lbs total : 0lbs down, 5lbs to go! TTfan - 4lbs total: 0.5lbs down, 4lbs to...

I didnt do the shred yesterday either, was feeling a bit rubbishy tbh. My eldest was sick lastnight too so think it was a nast buggy thing. I shall be resuming shredding later!

That's good to know for treats! Although I must say I enjoy the pitta/wrap imitation pizzas alot more than I thought I would so Im not missing pizza like I thought.

Blimey I think the shred and boxercise would kill me lol! Zumba seems to compliment it nicely, I cant do it properly yet but I move my hips about for a good half hour so that must be good.

Im on level 1 day 5 today, and got BFBM yesterday so Im well stocked for the next couple of months. I think Im going to get a yoga/pilates dvd to alternate with when I move on to BFBM. Im also keeping up the zumba in the evenings.

That's evil! I try and make sure mines out of the house whenever Im doing a dvd.

Oh and about the zumba - I have that mega bunch of dvds and tbh Im just working my way through the basics dvd every night. Im glad I dont have a mirror in my front room cos at the moment I can kid myself im getting the hang of it LOL.

Well done Fiona! Im sure after a few days the coordination will come back. I've just completed level 1 day 4.... today was hard, not physically just felt very light headed all the way through. I think it was the vino last night I havent rehydrated myself enough yet! Lesson learned though.

I don't know about the gym but I have been doing the shred in the morning and then a bit of walking (up hills lol) and in the evening I do zumba and haven't had a problem yet. However for about half hour after the shred I'm completely knackered!! lol

Im on level 1 day 3 and I dont think I'll ever not do a girly push up LOL

O.K after weighing in this morning and resetting all my stats on here I've lost 2lb since last Tuesday...woop! Kirsty_baird_26 - 5lbs total : 0lbs down, 5lbs to go! TTfan - 0lbs down, 4lbs to go iwillsoonbeslim (1st July 13s 11lb) - 9lbs total : 0lbs down, 9lbs to go! Peagirl989 - 6lbs total ...

Ive started the shred again but I've also ditched the car and started walking to pick my son up from school. I have a zumba dvd that I do about 5 times per week (sometimes less if hubbys home and not working in the eve). I also do various weights workouts for my arms that I find online as I'm...

LMAO, U crack me up Legomum:D Well today I completed day 3 of the shred (level 1), walked for 30 minutes to my sons school and back (up big hills both ways with a buggy and a very heavy 3 yr old lol). And tonight I shall be trying to break legomums record replacing the fork with a wine glass...

I'm gonna join you ladies, I want to lose 10lbs this month! Kirsty_baird_26 - 5lbs total : 0lbs down, 5lbs to go! TTfan - 0lbs down, 4lbs to go iwillsoonbeslim (1st July 13s 11lb) - 9lbs total : 0lbs down, 9lbs to go! Peagirl989 - 6lbs total : 0lbs down, 6 to go! LittleSis - 8lbs total : 0lbs...

Level 1 Day 3 complete!!!! Littlesis I was exactly the same for the first two days, for some reason on the third set of cardio I always feel lighter and more energetic!

Level 1 Day 2 complete woop!!

Im having light choices spag and meatballs with a lil bit of mozzarella and a big fat salad.

Ahhh good to know people are still doing it, I must admit last time I used cans of beans and I've noticed the difference using weights this time round and doing separate weight training alongside.

We're having low cal Korma - nice traditional Sunday fare. LOL

For breakfast I like nimble bread (49 cals) and light cheese triangles if I'm having a "stodge" crave. I also have things like a quorn sausage, some tinned tomatoes, scrambled eggs (with the nimble). I love oats so simple, measure the milk and its easy peasy to work out the cals as it's in...

Started this again for the second time today so... Day 1 Level 1 done!! Is anyone else still shredding?

At the weekend I usually have 2 quorn sausages, half a tin of beans, 2 scrambled eggs and a tomato sliced and cooked in frylight. It usually fills me up to lunch time and beyond - I normally have a light lunch!

I think everyone does this for their first few weeks but I agree that once a week is better, same time, same scales as someone else has already said. I spent my first few weeks weighing myself every morning lol, not good! :)

I've been doing mine daily but after a week 'off' last week (my first * week in months!!) I've found since restarting this week I've been alot hungrier on some days than on others. So I'm thinking I might try it weekly from Monday to try and counter this a bit.

Oh god, I think I might agree with you there, I can follow SW 100% easy peasy and then mates come round, hubby buys beer etc etc and I've messed up a whole day! Maybe I need some self control! lol

A brilliant thread! Well done MLM :)

cheese or warburtons toastie bread YUM

Another 5lbs for me, I'm very chuffed. I just hope I can keep it going at this rate for a little while. WD everyone that loses and people that haven't don't give up because it might show next week :)

With regards to planning, sit down one evening and search through SW recipes that can be made up and frozen, then set aside an afternoon to make and freeze them. Then if you are at home and have time you have the option to cook fresh or add extra veg and if not you can grab something from the...

Well done I bet you are feeling wonderful :)

I've found that I'm more confident in introducing things like treatsize choc etc where as my first week I wouldn't have even thought of it. I can understand how the motivation could dissapear especially without the incentive of weight loss! Can you buy a SW recipe book and maybe start a...

Well done! I'm making choc chip muffins with my boys today....luckily I know I can not touch them as last weekend we made cookies and cakes lol.

Same as what everyone else said, we've all done it. On Friday night hubby bought some beer, I just can't say no to at least a few....(little stubby bottles so not too bad). I knew I was messing my good work up but drank them, felt bloated and wished I hadn't....doh.. Just put a line under it...

We dont go shopping till Monday so our veg is a bit limited at the moment but what I've been doing is making up a Super Speed soup at the beginning of each week and freezing loads of portions. I try and have at least one a day and so I know that even if adding it to a meal has been impractical...

Thursday Green Breakfast 2 quorn sausages, beans, 1 slice wholemeal bread (HEXB) Lunch SS soup Dinner Party tea at mums, was restrained but still naughty! Hexa - 250mls ss milk Hexb - wholemeal bread Syns - Quite a few, no count I think the fact it was only for one meal might mean I...

It's nice to feel it working eh? :)

I'm 25 and want to be slim! I want to feel comfortable in my own skin, not self concious. I've had 2 boys and have a lovely hubby so I really want to do this for me. :)

How much are they? My son waterlogged mine so I'm borrowing my mums for a while. I've got a wii fit board (got it yesterday) and I'm two lbs lighter on that than the scales arrghh.

That's a brilliant idea!

This is one of mine and hubbys favourites....delish!!!! SS soup has been a life saver for me this week, I can't recommend it enough. I have been really pushed to add veg in anywhere so I've made sure I have a bowl or two of it a day. :)

you look fabulous!! Well done, a real inspiration :)

Im doing it from home at the moment but after I've been on hols in April I'll be paying to go to my local club at the moment I have the motivation and haven't got the funds! After the holiday I figure a kick start would be good and I'll have free cash again. I think giving it a few weeks...

Hiya Sammi, I did the same in 2008! Had my second son, lost nearly 4 stone was 1 stone off target and it all went kaput!! This time I've changed everything, I'm working out loads and this time I'm getting to target and maintaining :D

You look fantastic!!!! Well done :)

What a transformation, well done!

I'll be happy when I get to 9st 7lbs but I want to get to 9st so that when maintaining I can enjoy nights out/in or a takeaway occasionally without guilt and then be back to normal the next day IYKWIM

Well done! Good luck everyone else x

Well this is my first weigh in and I've lost 5lbs!!! Vey happy :)

I've been doing this a week tomorrow and I'm constantly thinking about syns/food values/meal planning etc etc. I spend ages on here reading recipes and info and have scoured through my slimming world books so many times I know them by heart! I think it's perfetly normal we are learning a new...

Well done! My mum and MIL always bake yummy cakes and it's sooo hard to resist and such a good feeling to enjoy it in moderation :)

We have a wii but wont be getting a fit board until after we've been on hols (April). I've got several dvds - some ministry of sound pump it ups which I used to do with a mate but haven't tried it in a few years! I have Davina's 3 30 min workouts which I enjoyed but soon got bored of and my...

Sounds delicious, I think I'm going to give your pud a try definitely.

I think Valentines is nice because sometimes with kids, work, bills, uni, etc etc you can forget that actually theres a reason that you're together. It is comercialised but only as much as you want to buy into it :). We don't buy expensive presents for each other but make sure the kids are...

Hi, this site is brilliant for motivation and piece of mind if you're 'not sure' about certain foods. :)

We are indulging in wine (syns) and having a mixed grill at home (SW friendly free on red woohhooo). No chocs for me but this time, next year I'll be sporting something nice in a size 8/10 so worth the chocolatelessness hehe

Ah I thought you meant 4.5 for the whole thing! Doh :eek:

I hope you manage to get an appointment and that they listen to you and give you the thyroxine hun, it sounds like you have all the symptoms and them telling you it's borderline is such a cop out of having to give free prescriptions! Hope you're feeling better today :)

Do you mean that you aren't using any syns? Because this could be a factor in STS? Maybe your calorie intake has become too low so your metabolism has slowed? I'd try adding in at least 5-8 a day so that you're keeping it low but making use of them and make an effort to drink lots of water...

I think Mrs Wilsoncroft (sorry if I'm wrong!) made a yummy treat tin and posted pics on here a few days ago. I think it's a fab idea and will be making myself one too when I get the shopping on Monday :D

You definitely did the right thing and with only four syns it's still a yummy treat. It would have been worse if she had used something that made it hugely 'off limits' on a normal day. :)

I love sweet potato - I used to buy sweet potato with rosemary and Garlic from tescos but I'm going to have a go at making my own from scratch at some point this week. Yummy!

I also do scrambled eggs in the microwave! Bacon, potatoes, beans, spaghetti. You can check tins of stuff that are ok like ravioli, spaghetti etc and as Purplesky said cold meats, salads, yogurts etc. Most veg can be steamed in a bowl with clingfilm in the microwave.

Everything Ive learnt this week, te natural yogurt and options is definitely my discover of the day though!!! I'm going to get some tomorrow oh yes..

Wearing denim hotpants and a vest top when I'm baking hot in the summer - not having to stick to 3/4 length trousers and 3/4 arm length tops that are baggy around the middle!!

Well done! You must be feeling so proud. A brilliant achievement.

I had SW cheese and potato pie with onions and added leeks, I mashed it all together before baking it instead of layering and it was gorgeous!!

Thurdsay green Breakfast - fruit n fibre 52g (28g HEXB 28g synned), 1 muller light yogurt (free) Lunch - Quick curry - chicken 113g (HEXB) curry powder, fromage frais (free), noodles (free) Dinner - 2x small potatoes, 28g cheese (HEXA), 28g cheese...

I've caught up on my first three days, syns aren't written in detail but have gone on things like mayo, dressing, babybel, extra milk, fruit n fibre (where ive had a bit over 28g) Ive syned it. I appreciate any helpful comments so please feel free. :) Monday Green Breakfast - 1 x scrambled...

Thankyou both, I'm having big losses in my first week, which is brilliant for the motivation. I wont be weighing myself this often usually but I wanted to check I was doing everything correctly for the first week!

I'll be having all bran with fruit and a pot of muller light poured over - yummy!

well done you!

That's a very good idea! Especially for people just starting (like me) who think they know but aren't sure and just want to check lol.

Thanks again! I think I read somewhere on here about peas...very curious as to why they are'nt!

Thanks, I'm not officially starting at the meetings until next week so haven't got any books yet but after scouring through here and other pages I have found enough info to get me started this week. :)

Sorry if this is a question already asked (I have looked) but are satsumas and grapes SFF?

Well done, that is a brilliant achievement!

Don't be disheartened by the weight STS because weightloss seems to be alot greater in the first week (for some people) and then will average out over the following weeks. 8lbs is a great loss and if averaged over the two weeks 4lbs a week is a brilliant loss! Good luck with your weigh in today!

I think sometimes it's easier to resist totally than to have a little! Having said that, the more confident you get with SW the easier it will be to have a small piece of what to fancy and factor it in synwise for the day. :)

I made the SW cottage pie with swede mash but used quorn mince which made it free on Red! Was delicious. :)

I had a wholemeal roll with 1 tspoon extra light mayo (1 syn I think), ham and cheese (HEXA). Then a muller light.

Hello, I joined in 2009 and lost 3 stone. Since then Ive put it all back on and actually weighed myself this morning after deciding to start slimming world....Yuck lol. Im going on holiday in april with hubby and kids and really want to get into the pool without shame! So the goal is to lose...

Well done you look amazing!

That's amazing! Well done you. :D
