Someone bought this into our meeting last week. And it is the lushest home made soup I've ever had!! I asked the man who made it and I'm sure he said it was a SW recipe from the website. I've searched on there, and some other palces, and 2 SW books but can't find it. :( Do any of you guys...

Thanks guys. I'll make sure I remember to ask next week!

I totally forgot to ask at my meeting last night. Do we hand in our fitness tracker thingies each week? How does getting the awards work? or do we save them up for the 4 weeks needed? Thanks guys

Should we start a little thursday group? What do you all think to Thurs as a weigh in day? I like it as I feel it keeps me motivated to have a good weekend. And I also like having something to do on a thrusday night, it seems to make the weekend come around that bit quicker! :)

Could you not make up some pasta and take it with you? I am out shopping tomorrow and will be buying pre packaged sushi for lunch. Num num num!

I currently have the WW malted danish (first LF bread I've had) and I had a turkey ham and cucumber sandwich with it today and it was lovely! :) 64p in Tescos, (my branch doesn't have Nimble at all, so I went for WW) and I would definitely reccomend it and have it again. :)

Well done!! :)

I find that I have EE days where I have to re check if my meals are really ok! I had 2 really big eating days on EE this week, and was doubtful it would allow me to lsoe weight. But I lost 3lb!! So don't feel guilty at all. It does make me consider portion size a lot more though, as it's not...

Well done guys!! I can't wait to get back into my size 14 jeans from last year! They are currently in my "when I've lost more weight" drawer, but a couple of pairs of my 16s are starting to get a little loose, so hopefully it wont be too long!

I make sure to eat before I go, otherwise I'm buying all sorts of things i don't need!

:thankyou: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm a Thursday weigher. Just got back from my 2nd meeting (1st WI). Was an awesome meeting, everyone bought in soups, which were lovely, and I met some really great people, had a lovely time. Oh..and I lost 3lb!! :D

I have considered Alli in the past, but I suffer pretty badly with IBS (d) and don't want to give myself an extra reason to worry about being away from a toilet. Funny thing is the whole time I was on WW and so far the whole time I've been on SW I've not had one IBS episode. It really is food...

Leftover Chilli I made last night (lean beef mince, passatta, peppers, kidney beans, sweetcorn, courgette and chilli mix (2 syns)) with potato and sweet potato that I chopped up, sprayed with frylight and cooked in the oven until they were like tasty chips. Then the chilli on top of hte potato...

I'm a member of the every morning club! It's jsut habit, get up, have a wee, weigh myself. It helps to really keep me on track. I know that it can go up and down from day to day, so I don't beat myself up over it changing. But I have good inner peace when I know that I'm on top of it each day.

Today - October 27th Breakfast I had Rasperries with Alpen and natural Yoghurt Morning snack I had a fruit salad Lunch was prawns in light thousand island sauce (3 syns) with salad.

So yesterday I finished off with a Chilli made from: Lean Beef mince Passata Kidney beans Sweetcorn Peppers Courgette and had it with ride, so all free on EE. I did have a milkyway (6 syns) afterwards. :) Very tasty!

Originally (2 years ago) I was shocked into losing weight as I weighed myself having not done so for months and was horrified to be 14st 4, which was way more than my 6ft 4 boyfriend! I lost 3 stone but then chrsitmas came, and I put a few pounds on, and then an illness and surgery made me fall...

What is scan bran??!?

Congratulations!!!!!!! :)

haha, yeah I totally have rituals! I make sure never to wear jeans on WI day, and I WI at 5.30pm so don;t drink or eat past 2. When i went to WW I used to take a bottle of water or squash and then also buy a snack at the meeting. But at my SW class there is a little tea counter place, so I...

Don't worry hun!! Some of them are really hard! I work out with a personal trainer 3 times a week and some of the DVDs I can't manage them! !0 minutes done though is 10 minutes towards a healthier you! Maybe take a 10 minute break and then try for another 10. You could try and do an hour...

:) Thanks Mrs V.

Thanks Eve. I guess you're right. I'll have to wait and see for myself how the different plans work for me. :) I don't have a clue how I'd do a red day as I always seem to have an abundance of foods that are in the green free list. I will force myself to try a red one soon though.

I would love to hear your feedback on my meals, as I'm brand new to SW and am interested to hear if any of you experts think I could be doing anything different. I'll start with today and carry on from there. :) Today I'm doing EE. Breakfast 28g Alpen (No added sugar) (HEX-B) with...

Well done! That's amazing!!! I hope I can do the same as we have the same start weight. :) Do you do lots of excercise too?

I sure hope you can! ;) Although I'm yet to have or need a red day...

Oooh good question!!

Hey guys. :) I'm doing Extra Easy for the first time today, as I wanted Cous Cous with Chicken for lunch, and am making a chilli tonight with beef and kidney beans. As I newbie I find it pretty confusing that on a red day I would have to have syns (and quite a few) for my cous cous and...

I wouldn't suggest the coil. I was offered it recently after not getting along with a new type of pill on the market or the implant. My friend works in medical law and says she has case after case of complaints about the Mirena, so she has had to contact a lot of top doctors to get their views...

Today I had 28g of Alpen and Soya milk. I'll be taking frozen raspberries (which will thaw) and natural yoghurt to work as my 10/11am snack.

Christmas Day and Boxing day will be totally anything I fancy days. (Although I'll be driving for 2 hours Boxing day morning to the in-laws and then the morning after Boxing day back home so I probably won't drink at all. I looove Schloer though, so that will be a nice treat. :) Also we are...

Thanks everyone. I've had a look at the smash recipe and soe comments about it on here and I think it'll definitely be worth a try. If all else fails I'll make them on half a pitta and count the pitta syns.

Hmm, I think maybe I'm still too new....Might be a post count related thing. :)

What do you all of you SW experts do about having pizza? Do you make your own, using pittas or pizza bases? Or are there certain sotre ones that aren't too bad?

Thanks Donnie. Sorry I'm new to the forums - how do I properly thank people?

I did pretty well on core the weeks I did it. But preffered points. Core did make you eat really healthily though! That's what I like about SW, it is a lot like core, and really makes me feel like I'm making healthy choices, whereas I learnt on the WW points plan how to eat quite naughty stuff...

Is there a way to work out how many you should have a day? In my welcome pack it says between 5 & 15, and that your leadder will tell you how many, but our leader jsut says "around 10" so I've been careful not to go over 10 a day. But - is it a more scientific thing?

Congratulations! You must be very pleased with yourself! Are you noticing a difference in your clothes?

How often does it come out? I only joined SW last week, so assumed it was a monthly thing. I do love a good magazine.

Some of the recipes in the magazine (and calendar too!) look really great! Going to try a couple this week so I'll let you all know how I get on. :)

Thanks everyone. I had the 1/4 chicken yesterday with the side salad and my Mum and I shared a spicy rice (she had the Med salad and counted the Feta as Hex and the olvies as 1 Syn. I counted the marinade as 3 to be on the safe side. But only had 6 syns in total yesterday so een if it was up to...

How dissappointing it's not free. :( I used to eat loads of canned pinepple and peaches on WW and lost loads of weight. But I'm not really that keen to use it as my HEX-B. :(

I have had 2 scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast. :) Very tasty.

So I'm hoping this might work for me: 1/2 Chicken (take of the skin and count it as my HEX-B) Side salad with a bit of peri peri on it (1 syn) Spicy Rice (I've had a search online and it's free on a green day) Should I add a few more syns in case the chicken is a bit greasy or something...

Thanks guys. Any idea what the spicy rice is Syn wise for different days?

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome. :) I am off to the gym now, and then when I return I shall really get stuck into this site while I enjoy my lunch. :) Speak soon, xxx

Hi everyone! I joined SW last night, and really enjoyed my meeting. It seems a really friendly group, and I liked the fact that so many people tehre have done so well, and that everyone gets their chance to discuss their week. :) I think I've just about go the hang of the red/green plans...

Hi guys. :) I joined SW last night. And am really liking the look of the plan. I'm out all day tomorrow and quite fancy a Nando's, as I know when I was on WW it was a great meal option. I've had a look for Nando's syns on the SW site, adn googled. But I am finding it really hard to get...

I am joining SW this Thursday, and am going on holiday 5 weeks on Thursday. I was thinking to aim for 8lb by my trip. Is that reasonable? Would 10 be possible? I know from past experience I need to have goals which are achievable, but then I've read such awesome stories of peolpe losing...

Hi amanda! I'm new here too!! It's great to see others with such similar starting points and goals to me. :) Hopefully we can really help to keep each other motivated!

....

Thanks Vixxster, here's hoping we can really help each other along! :) Wow, well done so far Donnie! It's so exciting to see SW working so great for all of you guys! Ooooh I wish the meeting was tomorrow! Lol!

Hi Vixxster! :) How exciting to see we have such similar amounts to lose! :) You can definitely link to my blog once it's all started. I really should go have a bath but something tells me I might forego it for a quick shower so I can stick around on this forum longer, lol!

Thanks for such fast, and warm welcomes! :) I am joining the class this Thursday and really can't wait to get back on the healthy wagon! (Although I go on holiday in 5 weeks so tere will be a 2 week break, but we'll be doing a lot of walking and I know I won't want to eat a lot in the heat so...

Hi everyone :p My name is Torsie and I'm from Surrey. I lost 3 stone last year on WW but gained it all over the winter when I had to have emergency surgery which left me unable to excercise for 3 months and feeling sorry for myself so I went back to eating loads of junk like before I started...

Hello!! I'm Victoria, I'm 23 and from Surrey. I have started Slim Fast today and plan on following for two weeks before switching over to WW (probably points plan). Last year I lost 3 stone on WW but have sadly put 2 back on! :mad: I am hoping to lose 24lb by the end of May, when we ahve...
