Well done-that is amazing!!!I might try it myself to give myself a 'boost'!! Good luck for the 2.5 loss this week x

I used to also have this problem,but before i decide to have 'lots of extra syns' i make myself an options hot chocolate and add quite a bit of sweetener,drink it and 9 times out of 10 this completely curbs my craving for anything sweet.Savoury food though is another matter!!LOL You could also...

Oh bless! That would just make me more determined to succeed and maintain.....;)

Hello again! I am currently doing SW at home and although I went to a class a while ago(last year i think)I am still a little unsure about how many syns to have. I was told by my C to have 10 a day,which is fine and what I have been working towards each day. However,I read on here that...

I have tried green tea,but I wasn't keen!Although I will be prepared to force it down if it boosts weight loss!!LOL I am just such a lover of strong builders tea..........:D

Hello and welcome to the forum!!I absolutely love it here,lots of kind helpful people-great ideas and recipes too!!!:p

well done you!long may it continue!:)

They sound amazing!!I'll be getting some of those!!

Good luck!!!:)

I completely agree!I did WW years back and totally relied on their ready meal ranges.The thing that I most enjoy about SW is that it wholey(sp?)is based around making a lot of meals from fresh ingredients(although I enjoy a pasta and sauce now and again;))and it reducates and introduces people...

I agree-at least the food we are thinking about will nourish our bodies the way it was intended to be!!! Nice to see i'm not alone-thanks for all your comments!:)

LOL mine too!!!:)

My fave green day meal is cheesy mash,made with laughing cow light(Hexa)a dollop of ff fromage frais,salt and pepper and a mound of beans!! Comfort food at its best.....:D

I have always been obsessed with food,but even more so since joining SW.If I am not eating,then I am thinking about eating,what I will cook,how I will cook it....even what I will be having at the weekend!! I am ashamed to say that food takes up a lot of my thoughts in the day.... ....am I...

Absolutely!I find that if I didnt eat breakfast,I could probably go until my evening meal and not be hungry!I know its healthier to have breakfast,so I do, but on the downside I seem to graze all day(albeit on superfree food!) I find on red days when I eat a lot of protein for breakfast(i.e...

Thank you very much for checking-much appreciated!:D

I too suffer from IBS,but I haven't had an 'attack'since starting sw,but on the occasion things haven't been moving as well as I'd hoped:o I eat activia yoghurt and plenty of water and that really helped me!:)

Hi all, I recently posted on the syn section asking someone to syn my jerk seasoning.The only thing to measure the syns against was a 27gms sachet of jamacian jerk chicken mix.I use asda jerk seasoning but I am sure I don't use as much as that and am sooooooo reluctant to syn it 3 and a...

'Vikksters pizza' was recommended tome earlier this week,its delicious!You can find the recipe in the recipe section,usually it requires you to have a Hex A and B spare,but if you don't im sure its a darn sight better for you than a takeaway!you get a pizza and also can feel like you have been...

what I normally do would be to have an evening meal before work,then have snacks like fruit and yoghurt(I don't get overlly hungry at work)then when i get home in the morning,i would have breakfast then go to bed then repeat the process!LOL its more my first night shift i would have a prob with...

Hi All, I am still fairly new to SW and I am a shift worker about to embark on my first set of nights since I joined.Today I am on a red day and have eaten as per normal,however i'm not sure what to do tonight as i am going to be up all night,then tomorrow sleep all day?Do I treat tonight as...

Thanks for replying,it sounds like a sensible concept-better than going completely off plan!!!

Hi all, being a newbie and all i'm not sure what 'flexible'syns are??Is this where you save you syns and 'spend'them on a night out,for example??:)

Does anybody know the syn value.......pretty please:D

I had pizza(made with the wholemeal bread mix)forlunch and it was really lovely!!I topped it with red onion,peppers and mushroom-it completely quenched my pizza craving yuuummmmmmmmmmm:D

Good luck for your WI!!!

Hi Everyone, I am fairly new here,I have been lurking for a while!! My story(if you wish to here it!)is I,like a lot of people have tried'diets' including recently the Cambridge weight plan-which(in my opinion)is mental torchure!I need a semblence of a real life,or I will never get this weight...

Thanks to you all for your support and advice!I think i'm going to speak to my CD tomorrow.I can go all day without eating,I like a decent meal in the evening to look forward to!So perhaps with the higher plans I can do that!Thanks again xx

Have 2 CD and a healthy meal a day?I cannot stick to SS as it is making me very miserable and depressed and am too scared to speak to CDC as am worried that she will think i'm a failure.I'm kinda thinking having the meal replacements will be better than eating the crap I did before the diet,i'm...

Thanks very much for your reply,i think SW may be my sort of plan,as reading other posts it seems that you can eat quite a bit(my prob on sticking to diets is feeling deprived!)BTW your dinner sounds lovely!!!

Hello Everyone, I'm thinking of joining SW,i have tried to lose weight over the years and have failed!The thing that has depressed me the most was that i found an old membership card of another slimming group I was in(years ago)and my start weight was 2 stone lighter than i am now!i desperately...
