Hi:D. I am 46 years young, married for 26 years with 2 children. Son (at home) aged 24 and daughter (away at Uni:cry:) aged 21. I have a border collie, 2 cats, some angel fish (called Wanda) and daughters Bearded Dragon!!!:eek:

While cooking the tea the other night I found a small potato left in the bowl with the peelings. I sliced it very thinly and sqeezed it dry with a rolling pin in between some kitchen towel and a t-towel. I then spayed the slices with fry light and put some salt and pepper on them am put them in...

When i went a few weeks ago i thought i would be really good and take a punnet of grapes but they were really nice to eat. Even OH kept picking at them AND he had choc.

Just think ... next week will be bigger because its 8 days till WI!

I am so glad I have seen this thread. I was talking to my C last night at club about it. I am finding that I am eating all the time. It is all free food but it is a lot. Yesterday I had:- 2 bananas, 4 satsunas, 2 apples, half melon, 2 pears, 4 plums, grapes and a mango. Most of this was eaten...

We were up in the Lake District last weekend (walking up Great Gable and Scarfell) and although very wet and wild then it is nothing compared to what we are seeing on the news now. I hope all goes well with you and your family and that the rain to come is not too bad.

Manicure and facial. Makes you feel really special... which of course we all are.

Well done Sarah-Jayne. I'm also hoping for a new sticker on tuesday. only 1/2lb off needed to get my next one.

Thanks for your reply but its only the meat juice syns I'm not sure of. I used the gravy powder which is 1/2 syn per teaspoon of powder. I don't like the granules.

Yesterday I cooked a lovely piece of beef very slowly with onion, carrots and water and I used the juice from this to make the gravy (with bisto gravy powder). Does anyone know how many syns there is in the meat juice (not the gravy powder). I left it to go cold and was able to remove all the...

Hi haggle-b and welcome :wavey: Well done on your lose so far.

Oranges. I hated them and everything orange flavour but this last couple of weeks I have been eating satsumas. Maybe one day soon I might bring myself to try a proper one.

Good question... For me it was after gaining over 2 stone when my 22 year old son got cancer. It was pretty tough going for 9 months but in that time I also gave up smoking and waved my daughter off to uni so I think the gain was not to bad. (Son is now in remission and all is well)

Hope this is right. I have copied it from a thread from march. Uncle Ben's Risotto Rice, Chicken & Mushroom, ambient 250g pouch Original 22½ Syns ] Green 4½ Syns Uncle Ben's Risotto Rice, Bacon & Mushroom, ambient 250g pouch Original 22½ Syns [i] Green 5½ Syns Uncle Ben's Risotto Rice...

Well done Leniloo. :clap:

It's comments like those that make you feel like giving in but also make you more determined to do it. I don't tell my family anymore that I'm dieting. Only if they notice do I say anything and as for my Dr when I went to him about not being able to lose weight he asked what I had for breakfast...

Well done Jaylou. We all seen to forget that when we get to target we still have to eat a healthy diet to maintain.

Thanks everyone. It's like a double wammy when you go to class. everyone there is so pleased for you and when you post it here everyone here is also very pleased for you. I wish I could be online more than I am but I'm only able to get quick snatches at it :-( And Mrs V. The very best of luck...

Winning slimmer of the week last week was a great feeling even tho I only lost 1lb :o Well I've been and done it again only this time I feel better about it and that I really did deserve it as I lost 3lb. That is my biggest weekly so far loss apart from week 1 when I lost 4lb. If I can lose...

2.5lb this week is good news this far down the line,, but 6 Stone... that is fantastic. Well done.

40 years. Is there a sticker for that?! Well done and have a good evening.

My favourite is 'The Abys' Didn't fancy but enjoyed 'Kill Bill' Hate 'Batman' all of them. (also hate Marly & Me cause it made me cry and I tried so hard not to that my throat hurt and I ended up with a massive headache:cry:)

Well done. :-)

Thanks everyone.

Tonight I have lost 1 pound. Not a great amount I know but for me that's good. BUT I ALSO WON SLIMMER OF THE WEEK.:bliss: I really didn't expect to ever get that cause I only ever lose half or 1lb at a time. I am now the proud owner of new shiny sticker on the front of my book. :party0049:

Not been keeping track but HAVE stuck to the plan 100%. Even when OH bought me a cake home from town on saturday:mad: I threw is in the bin when he wasn't looking:o. It's weigh in tonight and on my scales I have lost 1.5. Must try and keep a written record.

Welcome back. 6.5lbs is very good for 3 months off. I managed 7lb on when I went away for 2 weeks :eek:. You can soon get rid of it and much more with SW.

I love curly wurly after they have been in the fridge and a bang them on the table and then sit and pick at the little bits. It makes it last for ages:drool: . Could I just ask you what you think of the amount of food that i have eaten. Do you think it's enough?:confused:

THURSDAY 8/10/09 HEA - MILK (for drinks throughout the day) Breakfast - 1 Weetabix (1/2 HEB) with water, Mullerlight, Banana Mid Morning - 1 apple Lunch - 1 Mug shot Tomato & Herb Mid Afternoon - 1 Mullerlight, 1 plum Tea - low fat super noodles on toast (HEB) topped with 42g lf cheese...

Thanks Jaylou and Judimac. That really is my down fall - planning. I'm hopeless at it. I need to take on hour or so and sort out what I am going to be eating for the next week and stick to it. Every year my New Years Resolution is "Be more organised". Maybe I might start now...

Oh yea, thanks for that, I see now. I really must get myself a hair dye!!!!!!!

If so can you share it with me. I don't know from one day to the next what I am going to be eating. In fact I don't even know what I am going to be eating for my next meal until I look in the cupboards/freezer at meal times. I have nothing organised for tea tonight. OH will be home about 5 so I...

Made this yesterday and thought it was lovely. A little bit too sweet for me so not so much sweetner next time. Hubby hated it... said it should be called 'Chomlette' as it tasted like a chocolate omlette! I had it with fresh strawberrys and lite squirty cream...mmmmmmmmmmm

I have just had a blonde moment. I have just realised that I can't just jump back in and add the next meal to the thread :doh: I WILL get the hang of this one day :o

Ok. So I thought I would try and keep a food diary on here. Only ever done the paper ones from club before. I am hoping it will keep me on the straight and narrow and I am going to try and list everything that passes my lips. PLEASE let me know if I am getting anything wrong or if you think...

I STS this week. Was expecting it after a weeks holiday. Gotta try and stick to it now I'm back home :-0

I have heard or read somewhere that too much Pepsi (or any fizzy drink) can expand your stomach with all the gas that in it and make you feel hungry more often. Does anyone know if this is just an old wives tale or not. I drink about 3 cans of Pepsi Max a day :eek: so it might explain the large...

Well done. I remember dancing round the room when I came out of the obese rating. Shout it loud and be proud.

I'm hoping not to have a gain tonight. I was on holiday last week but my scales are telling me I have STS so finger, toes and everything else crossed.

OMG... thats a great loss. Well done you:party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049:

I also hate using my HE early in the morning so I have 1 weetabix with a small amount of water on it so that the its just soaks into the middle but leaves the rest dry and then poor over some free yogurt followed by a banana. I find the dry part of the weetabix is the best but leaving it all dry...

Look at your little smiley running up and down and remember what that felt like. Now look at your 'smilies' in this last post. You can get back into and that little smiley will be running up and down again in no time.

I haven't done an SAS log so will look into that first. As for the super speed challenge I have done something on my own. I limited myself to 5-8 syns a day and ate mainly SS or S foods for a week and managed to lose 1.5lbs (which for me is good). I will have a talk with my C and the group on...

How restrictive is it? I do eat most things but I really can't stand fish. Tuna in a tin is as far as I go. I do tent to do green mostly is this a problem or not? sorry for all the questions....

Thanks. I will start mine in the Food Diary section then. Although you should never say ...tomorrow... on a diet I am going to wait until after WI tomorrow night and start it from my 1st slimming day of the week.

OMG this sounds lush... off to tesco soon so cocoa is now on my shopping list.

Weight Lose Diary and Food Diary? They both seem to have the days food listed. I am thinking of starting one and not sure which heading to put it under. I want to keep a list of the food eaten and also the excerise I have done that day/week and would welcome any comments on where I may be going...

:rotflmao: thanks!

I think I am going to ask my C at WI about doing fast track for a week. I know its hard going but I really feel that I need to kick start my body into losing weight. Has anyone done it before and if so was it that bad?:sigh:

Hi, not been on here for a while as I've been busy at work and then away on holiday. Now I'm back off my hols and finding it really hard to get back on track. On my scales I managed to LOSE 2lb while away put had a naff weekend and have put it back on :break_diet:. I really want to get back on...

The other thing is what do you wear? I always wear my lightweight linen trousers and a t-shirt. Some people at my class wear shorts - even in the winter - they change into them in the toilets and change out of them after they have been weighed!!!

My WI is at 7pm so have a long day to go through. For brekkie I have Mullerlight and 1 weetabix crumbled in and then for dinner I have a mugshot and a banana at work. I try not to have a drink after 3.30.

Tonight is my first WI after I started taking Green Tea tablets to try and boost my metabolism (I have an underactive thyroid). Normally my loss is only 1/2 to 1lb a week so I am hoping to have a bit of a higher loss this week if what I've read is true!!!

Aw Stacey, no wonder you are peeved! YOU ARE NOT TOO FAT. You have lost an amazing amount of weight and you are worthy of that award. Don't let it put you off and although it's along way off - think of next year....

I struggle on red days as well but I find it harder to lose weight on green days. But i really fo love green days so I limit it to 2 a week.

I also seem to be eating it just because I can and not because I'm hungry. After tea I go and sit down and the fruit bowl is on the table and it's as if it's saying "eat me" and I only last about half and hour and I end up eating an apple when I have been so full at tea I couldn't eat another thing!

OMG that sounds lush. I love cous cous. Going to give that a try that's for sure. Thanx

I love summer fruit. I eat soooooo much of it it's scarey. Today I have had 2 bananas, half a yellow mellon, 1 mango and am now looking at my apples sat on my desk. By the end of the day I will have eaten 2 apples and some strawberrys and prob some plums as well. What do you think? Too much?

What is cheats rice pudding? Is the recipe on here?

Green Tea is supposed to help speed up your metabolic rate. I do a lot of exercise at the moment but I need to try and boost my metabolism so thought I might try these. You can get them on the internet and from Holland & Barrett. I'm going to town this afternoon so might get some.

This thread had been great to read. I have never taken any pills but just recently I have been looking in green tea. I HATE green tea as a drink but I am thinking of taking the tablets. Has anyone here ever tried them?

Hi, I have been a member for a while and must confess that I read loads and post nearly never!:eek: My work load has dropped right off now so I should have more time to participate. :) I have been doing SW for 19 months (12 of them I did it on my own until I found out I have an under-active...

I am thinking of getting a pedometer to see how far I walk every day. I have been looking at them on internet and realise that they are more than just the free ones given away with crisps years ago. Has anyone else tried them?

*kick* that's for earlier! but really - DON'T DO IT!!! As Victoria said stay on here and the time will pass.

Thanks Judimac but I think it was just something I had to do. As I said I don't know why - it just is. As for the family they are the lucky ones who eat as if they have hollow legs. Both hubby and son (24) are 6ft+ and weigh 10st and 9.5 stone and eat ALL day.

If only we knew what triggers these little 'mishaps'. Still - new day 2moro... And thanks for kick up the bum - lol- it was needed!!!!!!

OMG :eek: why do we do it? I have just been sooooooo naughty.Why? I don't know. Maybe cause its Friday, maybe cause I had to shop after work and had nothing ready for tea when i got in, maybe cause I needed to! Since 6pm I have had a whole box of makado sticks (large box) while putting the...

Hello Vickstar. I too gained my weight from giving up smoking. I do feel a lot better for not having the fag and find I can excercise more (its only walking but I can cover quite a distance now).

OMG - you are all so nice and know what to say - it takes me ages to think of something. As for taking the dog, I wish I could as she is in need of a bit at weight lose. We are doing a walking regime at the moment so hopefully....

Hello everyone! I am new to 'posting' but have been a member of minis for some time. (just too shy to speak). I am doing Slimming World mainly Green days. Joined in Jan 09 and so far have lost 1stone 1 1/2 pounds.:D I am 46 years old and have 2 grown up children (oldest at home, youngest at...

Does anyone know the syns for tesco fresh rice noodles. I want to give them try but don't know the value.

Does any one know the syn value of Tesco fresh rice noodles. Can't find them on SW website and I forgot to ask at club the other night. Ithought I may have them for dinner with hubby but don't want to make a mistake.

:confused: I am a Grazer. I've realised that I eat about every hour to hour an a half. Its all good food like fruit etc but do you think this stops you from burning your fat stores because there is always food to burn off. Been really really good this week and only lost 1lb. Am beginning to...

I was just wondering if anyone else out there has an underactive thyroid? I was diagnosed at the end of October 08 and it has still not been stabalised and the weight loss is very slow (sometimes in reverse). I only need to take my eye off the ball for a day and it can be a 1-2lb gain even...

Lemon cous cous - i love lemon. That's it. Stopping at shop on the way to club tonight and getting ingreds.

OMG - thank you all sooooo much for all your ideas. Posted my question yesterday then got called away and this is the first change to get back on. I had the Ainsley Harriot spice sensation yesterday with samll amount of chicken and a salad. It was very good. I will have to have a go at some of...

Hi:). This is the first time I have used the forum although I have been a member for some time :o. I have just 'found' Cous Cous. But what can I do with it? Do you have it with a sauce (like pasta) or not? Can anyone give me some ideas. I have looked on the receipe thread and I will def be...
