Thanks Valerie - really appreciate that. I will get some reading done! Not sure why I am struggling to be honest because I know full well that S/W is not like a diet and when I am doing it I generally end up eating more rather than less!! x

Thanks for the info about the Nimble - didn't know that because I haven't been to a class for well over 12 months! It's the Nimble wholemeal that I have. Spots are starting to calm down a little now - been drinking loads of water so that must be helping. Feel like I have much more energy so...

Hi - are peas syns on a red day? Not sure why I have it in my head that they might be but thought it best to check! Thanks :)

Cheers Simmy :) Still feeling stressed - need to find a job now now now!!!! Despite this, still managed to avoid the alcohol and any form of comfort eating. This is mainly because I am starting to notice results now such as being able to get my jeans on and off without undoing them! At...

That's awful - I think Colleen is great and the amount of weight she has lost is imense. I think the problem is that the other girls are absolutely tiny so it's just that she looks a bit bigger against them. She is in no way overweight and she seems to have lost a little more since DoI...

Do you find the ITV player works for you Taz? I always try to remember to record things on ITV if I am going to miss them as the player always freezes. I missed Emmerdale the other night and what should have taken around half an hour took three quarters :eek: My laptop is a decent speed...

I have done a mix really but I do prefer green as I find I am fuller and if I do feel the need to snack there is more choice for me personally. I usually do red on Sunday's though so I can enjoy a breakfast with bacon for free! I have no set pattern so can't state a ratio as such but I have...

Hi to all you newbies! I joined in January and it is really keeping me going. I don't attend classes so my motivation and support comes from all the great people on here! Check out the recipe section for ideas and if you are completely new to SW also have a look at peoples food diaries to...

I have just realised that this is in the wrong section - how do I go about getting it moved to the Food Diaries section? Thanks Ann-Marie x

What a brilliant loss so far!! I agree with everything that has been said. I remember when I first did SW I found it a bit overwhelming but after reading the books carefully it all became second nature. I am doing that plan now but don't attend classes - I glanced over my old literature but...

Before I read your post I had thought Kelly Brook just from the thread title! Other than her I would say Letitia Dean - she looks great following her fitness DVD and has retained her curves. I definitely want to keep my curves and after losing just 10lbs I can see them starting to come...

Had a really bad day yesterday and thought wine might make it better :rolleyes: One bottle led to another and that one led to a pizza :eek: Felt good at the time but doesn't today when I look back at it :cry: Back on track today but here are the full details of yesterday's disaster: Monday...

Week 5 and another 2lbs off!!! :D Can't wait to be under 18 stone rather than nearer to 19stone like I was when I started!! Very pleased and still feeling determined to carry on :D

Whoo hooo!!!! Very pleased - lost another 2lbs so that is 10lbs in total. :D Can't wait to get the 18stone out of my signature!!!!

Not really sure what to suggest - maybe try using some extra mince? I know that last time I did them, one of the balls wasn't quite as big as the others and that one split so it could possibly be that? Other than that just make sure you roll them really tight once the cheese is in them...

Been slightly off plan but am back on track today. Watching football combined with alcohol has a lot to answer for!!! Friday B - 2 pears,2 bananas, yoghurt L - None D - Boiled potatoes (Bx2), chicken, peas and carrotts, Mullerlight yoghurt, banana Syns - 4 large vodka and diet cokes Snacks...

Had a reasonable day today. Tried Farm Foods for the first time today and will definitely be going back as it is soooo cheap and I got loads of frozen vegetables as well as some chicken, tuna and mince. The freezer is bulging!! I have resisted cold weather munchies all day but just couldn't...

Some great ideas there! Thanks xx

:) Phew - thought I'd had another case of that oh so dangerous disease..... foot in mouth!! lol So, how are you doing with the plan with it being sooooo cold - are you sticking with it? I normally struggle when it's cold but determination is winning through this time round and I am well...

I was only joking!! :-( Bit jealous you normally have much better weather down there to be honest - that's why we are used to it. Sorry if I have caused any offence - totally unintentional :-(

It's very slippy here - just called up to FarmFoods for frozen veg and slipped in the car park. It's been the only point so far where I have been grateful for the extra padding around my backside!!! :rolleyes::eek: I don't have kids myself but there seems to be quite a few around today so a...

Just tried to do one of these but it fell apart (it stuck to the pan and wouldn't flip so I was trying to loosen the edges!!). Maybe I cooked it for too long before flipping - how long should I do each side? Tasted lovely though - think I just need to practice!! Had it with sliced banana...

Monday B - Bacon, 2 boiled eggs, 3 Nimble Bread (B) L - 3 Nimble toast (B), Low fat cheese (A) D - Chicken in tomato based sauce with herbs and garlic, steamed veg (are peas syns on red day?). Syn free pancake with banana Syns - Tomato Ketchup Snacks - Banana Exercise - 30 mins walking

Hope they turn out ok - just the kind of food needed on a cold snowy night! What are you having with them?

Hi, I'm feeling pretty determined this time too. I'm not saying 100% as I am reluctant to give up my Saturday's on the booze, however, I am 4 weeks in and 8lbs lighter so I am feeling very positive about it all. I had a bit of a wobble last night after a particularly 'social' weekend but...

Well, I think this will get rid of my wobble - been on the scales this morning and have lost another 2lbs!!!!! Very pleased :D

Very pleased......... another 2lbs off!!! :D

Having a bit of a wobble. Had a great, socialising (i.e. alcohol) weekend. Caught up with old friends, put the world to rights and had a great laugh. Feel great for that BUT feel extremely guilty for having done it in the same breath. Having an "is it worth it" moment. I know it is in my...

Just my humble opinion though!!! :-)

Gutted that Michael has gone - it should have been Todd. I thought he skated really well tonight. Can't fault Melinda really but that wasn't the best song choice to skate to but not sure how much say she or her partner have in that. I really like Colleen but don't think she is very strong...

The other night I had them with a mint and yoghurt sauce and salad, otherwise you could do them with a tomato based sauce using your favourite herbs.

Hi, Sorry for the later reply- not had access to a computer for a couple of days. Regarding quantities, I don't really work to specific measurements, more to taste. The mince, you will need enough to make 5 large balls (about golf ball size). Make sure you firmly roll them once you have...

Well, had a busy couple of days and have been a quite bad and fallen off the plan. Trying to get back on track today and it's WI tomorrow morning so fingers crossed for any loss at all!! Friday B - Banana L - 2 Boiled Eggs D - Boiled potatoes, chicken (Bx2), peas, carrotts, Mullerlight...

How are you finding SW by the way? Have you got your head round it all yet?

They are lovely and very filling too! I did them with a yoghurt sauce tonight but have also done them with a tomato based sauce for an Italian feel. My Brother was round when I did them for us both with a tomato sauce and said "I thought you were dieting again" he wasn't having it when I...

They are lovely and are like no other 'diet' food I've had before!! I hate touching raw meat but the taste at the end makes it all worthwhile :p

Cheesy Meatballs (Free on Red Days) Saw this about 18 months ago in the SW magazine, had them tonight and they were as nice as I remember. This is my variation on them - you can use whichever herbs/spices you like and maybe add chopped chillies or onion. Lean minced beef 5 Laughing Cow...

tee hee - wine was due to unexpected friend calling round. Had a great night though so sod it!!!! Tuna steaks..... I wrapped them in foil with some sliced red onions and tomatoes and chucked in some dill, mixed herbs and dry garlic. Seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked at 180 for 25 mins...

Thanks ;) Good luck with SW - it is a great diet :D I'm never hungry and can occassionally be naughty (as you can see from my diaries!!). I know if I did it 100% I would lose more and quicker but if I am too restrictive with myself I throw it all in completely so anything off is better...

Here is today's diary - very similar to yesterday as I really enjoyed the pasta sauce I made!! Tuesday B - 2 Weetabix (B) with skimmed milk (A) L - 2 WW Toast (B) with cottage cheese and beetroot D - Pasta, onions, green beans, mushrooms, 5 Laughing Cow (A), passata. Small fruit salad Syns -...

Aww Claire, Firstly, well done on your loss this week and glad you had a good time at the concert :) In no way do you sound like a nutter - I can totally see where you are coming from. Has it just been emails or has he actually seen/spoken to her? Whatever contact it has been though, he...

Aw thanks Claire. :) I was so naughty on Weds and Sat so it was quite a suprise. Need to make sure it doesn't catch up with me now so am going to be really good this week. Wanted to hit the gym but am going to need to rest my ankle for most of the week unfortunately after my drunken fall...

Hi Everyone :D I love Dancing on Ice and it will definitely be getting me through my Strictly Come Dancing withdrawals!!! Not been for a while but I have even looked up skate times at my local rink and may go soon (when my ankle recovers from the sprain it got when I fell over drunk on...

Well, here is Monday again! Anyone who happens to have glanced at my food diary this week will notice that I was very naughty on both Wednesday and Saturday so the best I was hoping for was a maintain but was really expecting a gain. However, I have lost 1lb so VERY pleased with that...

Well, the best I was hoping for this morning was a maintain although I was expecting gain. Neither of these things happened and I have lost 1lb. Whoooo hoooo!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi everyone, I have a long haired collie cross called Tia. She is nearly 12 now but showing no signs of slowing down!! I got her when she was six weeks old when her mother Molly who was my Mum's dog sadly died. She is great most of the time but makes cleaning an absolute nightmare...

I play cornet in a brass band. We do local concerts and also the odd competition. Rehearsing at the moment for the Regional Championships which take place in Blackpool for the North West on 1st March. If we are placed 1st - 3rd in that we will go on the the National finals at Harrogate in...

Was very, very, very naughty yesterday. Had a great time but a bit disappointed with myself. I think getting on the scales on Friday didn't help but I am really thinking there will be a gain when I weigh myself tomorrow so feeling a bit down about it all. Will re-focus my efforts for the next...

I have stupidly got on the scales this morning and am absolutely gutted as it is looking like the 5lb total loss of the last 2 weeks has gone back on :cry::cry::cry: Really not sure what has happened because other than Wednesday, I think I have done reasonably well this week. The worrying...

That's great - thanks very much. I will probably get some of the meat-free meatballs and make up some feee sauces to go with them! Thanks again x

Hi, Anyone have any ideas on this topic? Nearing the end of my Quorn mince and fillets so will be looking to buy meat alternatives in the next couple of days. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Ann-Marie x

Hi xangelfacex and welcome to minimins!! The Slimming World plan is very easy to do but I am relatively new to this forum so not sure how much legally (copyright, etc(?)) I can post on here as to how to do it. Maybe if you give me an idea of what kind of things you eat I can give you...

Thanks Claire - still feeling rather pleased with myself!! Here is today's diary - not done exercise as I am full of a cold and I just couldn't be bothered :sigh: Monday B - 2 Weetabix (B) with skimmed milk (A) L - 2 WW Toast (B), cottage cheese and beetroot. Blueberries D - Pasta with...

Wow - great first week loss. Well done:happy096:

:happy096: Congratulations on your brilliant weight loss - what a great start!! I am doing SW but not classes so weighing myself. Only lost 1lb in first week but determined to carry on! The temptation to step on the scales mid weekis always massive but as you said, best to avoid! Keep...

Well, I am into week two now but thought I would put this here in addition to my food diary. Week 1 - lost 1lb Was very disappointed with this but I suppose it is better off than on! I have quite a long way to go so am thinking in 7lb mini targets. I am doing the Slimming World plan but...

Well, I am just back from my friends and couldn't resist the temptation of a glass (ahem - bottle (each!!)) :eek: of white wine whilst catching up and putting the world to rights!!! We have laughed loads though and apparently that burns off calories - just not sure it's a bottle of wine's worth...

Is that a meal replacement programme? Think I have seen the advert for it but not really looked into it. Good luck, hope it suits you and that you get the results you are after! A.M x

Off to a friends this evening for something to eat but don't know what she is making. She is very health concious so I know it will be healthy but might not within the rules of SW. Because of this I am trying to eat food that would be free on both days so so far I have had 2 Quorn sausages...

Well done on your loss this week. I'm doing the same as you too and I also do mainly green days. Great start, keep it up :):):):)

Thanks for the tips, will probably have a weetabix before and some fruit afterwards see how I get on with that :)

Just been reading that it is actually quite important to have your healthy extras so I am going to have 2 slices WW Toast with a couple of Laughing Cow triangles! Watching Unforgiven on ITV1 and really missing my glass of red wine which I will usually have whilst watching a good drama. Ah...

Hi, Started SW start of last week and have developed a number of spots. Nowhere near 'That' time of the month, haven't changed skin care routine and if anything have been drinking more water and eating lots of fruit and veg. I did have lots of junk over Christmas / New Year so is it...

Well, here's my diary for today. Think I have done quite well to stay motivated after the disappointment this morning!! Monday B - 2 Weetabix (B) with skimmed milk (A), coffee L - Jacket potato with baked beans, cottage cheese and salad D - Pasta,mixed beans, pasata, herbs and chilli, Quorn...

Hi, I often use Quorn on green days but I do find that it's quite expensive. Would the Asda own brand meat free products be free on the plan? Or in case of offers/promotions, how about the Linda McCartney stuff? Thanks Ann-Marie x

Thanks for that, it's good to know I haven't done anything majorly wrong, I will try to cut down on the bananas as that definitely makes sense because when I did WW I remember bananas were higher in points than any other fruit. Another Ann-Marie - there aren't too many of us around, especially...

Thanks Claire. It's not TOTM, that particular joy will be in about another 3 weeks!! Re: speed foods, I will have a read through my stuff from last time in more detail but would blueberries and pineapple count as part of this group as I eat quite a lot of these? I also add chilli to...

Weight Watchers Bread Hi, I have had a very disappointng first week - only lost 1lb so thought I had best check this. Is Weight Watchers malted danish bread counted as a healthy extra B or is it syns? If it is syns I think this would explain a lot! If anyone viewing this has time to look...

Absolutely gutted :cry::cry::cry: Thought that other than Saturday night I had done ok but the scales have another story.... week one and I have only lost 1lb. With it being the first week I was definitely expecting 4lbs or more so I am now feeling a bit peed off. Can anyone see any glaring...

What do you eat before and after exercise? I really don't want to eat too much before exercising as I am prone to indigestion, however the other day I went to the gym on an apple and a banana and found that I felt light-headed and had to stop for a while. Not sure if this was down to lack of...

That actually sounds very healthy especially the evening meal. I am on the Slimming World plan and when on a green day that would be similar to what I would have. What cereals do you have and what would you normally have on sandwiches? Are you building in any exercise to your daily routines?

Well, good luck with it! I am doing the Slimming World plan which I have done before but I am not attending classes so am relying on my willpower and this forum to keep me going!!! I'm sure we will both succeed! :):D;)

My BMI will still show me as overweight when I get to target of 12 stone. I am 5ft 6inches and have always had a battle with weight so have no idea what I will look/feel like at that weight. It could be that I feel fine when I get there but on the other hand I might want to lose a couple of...

I agree with a previous post that I definitely spend less now I am on SW plan than I did buying junk before. The first week is always the most expensive as you have to buy store cupboard ingredients and key items for the freezer such as frozen meats and vegatables. After that I just seem to do...

Good luck :):):) Are you doing a specific plan or are you just planning on eating more healthy?

I'm in exactly the same situation but feeling very determined this time. Are you going to a slimming club or doing it on your own? Good luck :)
