Thanks Guys. I think I will make an appointment to see my GP, Dutch doctors are pretty useless, but I suppose I can try! I actually have 2 sets of portion pots (one with and one without the spaghetti hole), and I am weighing and measuring everything to the last gram. I've been on & off diets...

The diet is from 2004, but I have all her books from the very first publication of the Hip & Thigh Diet (I am old lol!). I am really discouraged this morning. Got on the scales to see how it was going and I haven't lost an ounce :cry:! I've stuck rigidly to the diet too. I've always lost a good...

The Dress I love it - it's so gorgeous in real life, but like so many ballgowns, the sizing has a mind of its own. I bought an 18 (supposedly 43-34-free hip) thinking I could get it taken in where necessary, I'm actually 40.5-32-44, and it's a bit too small! Hence the need to lose a bit of...

Thanks Lizzie, I have tried to do the RC Low GI Diet a couple of times, and the Fat Attack fortnight nearly killed me (and I nearly killed everyone around me!) lol! I'm looking forward to Rosemary's new book in January, after this 4 week stint, I will enjoy Xmas and then start again when it...

Hello All! :wavey: I found this diet book lurking in the back of a cupboard the other day whilst cleaning, and thought I'd give it a shot as I need to lose weight to look remotely decent in the ballgown I have bought for my dance school's Christmas Ball on 19th December. I started yesterday...

anyone else an emotional eater out there?! I have spent the day in turmoil and SW is the last thing on my mind right now :cry:. At 2:45AM I got a call from the police to say that my 16 (nearly 17) yr old son was in the hospital and I had to call the A&E. I duly call to find that he's been...

Thanks so much!

OK, altogether this time! Cals: 312 Carbs: 75g Protein: 0g Fat:0.9g 100g portion size

<1g, so only trace amounts (probably from bugs like the chocolate thread I read the other day :hmm:)! You might as well put 0!

I want to know the syn value of agave syrup please. The nutritional value is as follows (per 100g): Cals: 312 Fat: 0.9g No fibre The value for 100g would be good as I can work with it from there. :thankyou: Do you need to know anything else to work it out :o?

Nooooooooo! I should never have seen this thread, they are delicious and I can't stop nibbling them - had 5 already!

I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times before, but I need a quick answer! If a syn value is different for red/green which do I use for EE? I'm confused here!

Thanks Paperclip! I've done GI and skimmed milk was actively encouraged on that. I stay away from 'diet' products as much as I can because I don't want to poison myself with all those evil artificial sweeteners. That's where most of my syns end up going - fructose for sweetening things, but at...

Thanks Angie! I can't get the scan bran stuff here, anything else I can substitute? Can I use any of the HEb things as my HE on EE (sounds confusing!). My booklet only has about 10 cereals listed!

I've given up trying to do red or green days, it's just too much thinking & planning for me at the moment :rolleyes:! So, I'm starting again tomorrow and I'm going to give EE a try. I have some questions though! I can't find oats (porridge) on the lists anywhere. Is it a free food with EE as...

Well, today I'm doing red, and so far surviving (had quark, muesli, tuna, babybel lights & apples so far - dinner will be a chicken salad and I have fruit cocktail for when The Apprentice is on (I'm a telly-watching snacker!). I have 100+ sugar roses to make for an upcoming wedding cake, so...

Why? There's just too much darn chocolate left in the house from Easter :copon:! I blew it yesterday and I've just eaten another chunk of chocolate bunny :17729:. I have no self-control when it comes to chocolate. 2 days on SW with both days a disaster - at this rate I will have gained in my...

How do you find clothes shopping in Spain? Here in NL, unless you are 9ft 3, you've got no hope of anything looking right! I usually buy my clothes through Ebay or stock up when we come back to the UK on holidays :sigh:!

I will use syns for treats in a couple of days, I'm sure. I've kinda had my fill of junk over the last few days with Easter! As for the pasta sauce, yes I know I could make my own for free, but I'm being lazy-arse today and my kids won't eat anything with 'bits' in it :sigh:. I love fresh...

Well, I am quite obsessed with M&S Per Una skirts as the long ones with the godet inserts are perfect for my passion of ballroom dancing. I have taken to buying 16s with elasticated waists and adjusting the elastic in them. It's a solution for evenings out, but everyday clothes are still a...

Awww, thanks for the thumbs up and the recipe suggestion! Unfortunately, I can't get Quorn sausages anymore where I am (they used to have them but they disappeared out of the range - probably because they were not very popular), and anything curry or with peppers in it makes me heave :yuk:.

to find clothes that fit?! I have a shape that makes finding things to fit a nightmare! My current stats: Bust (over boobs): 42ins Waist: 32ins Widest part (around the bum): 47ins! Well that may sound curvaceous (and it is, if too much on the large side), clothes are not made for this kind of...

Hi all, today I have started SW plan (the old version - the new is in the post!). I just wanted to check that what I have planned for today is on the right track?! I used to do WW and know that inside out, but not sure I've understood SW correctly! Green Plan Food planned for today is...

Hi all, I start on SW today, so I'll be joining the Monday weigh-in crew! My starting weight this morning is 196.6lb, goal for Xmas Day is 155lb. I hope to be back next week with some good news to report!

I'll get back to you tomorrow on that one when I weigh myself for the official start. My goal at the moment is 155lb, so it will be whatever I weigh above that lol! UPDATE: Official start weight = 196.6lbs, so I would like to lose 41.6lbs by Xmas Day

I've bought my copy on Ebay. It wasn't cheap (£19.50 + P&P), but it's my only option as I live abroad. If you joined a class to get one, I should imagine the joining fee, weekly fee & cost of book would work out to be a similar amount anyway! I'm sure others can enlighten you more on that!

Made this today and it's delish (I normally hate All-Bran!). It works out to be 74 syns per loaf, or 6 syns per slice when you cut it into 12 slices like me :). I know there is a similar recipe on here, but this gives bigger (proper ;-)!) sized pieces and doesn't use any nasty artificial...

Oops! Posted this originally in the wrong place :ashamed0005:. I was wondering: Is anyone else writing one?! I'm starting SW tomorrow and I thought that it would help keep me on the straight and narrow! To Dance The Light Fantastic - Weightloss Journey Do those of you who write blogs find it...

Is anyone else writing one?! I'm starting SW tomorrow and I thought that it would help keep me on the straight and narrow! To Dance The Light Fantastic - Weightloss Journey Do those of you who write blogs find it helps?

Can I join the team please?! Pretty please:worthy:?! I start SW tomorrow and would really like a place to have to 'report' to to keep me on the straight & narrow (I'm doing this alone)! I have started a blog

I can't see the dress either (because I'm a newbie perhaps?!), but I wish you good vibes for achieving your goal! My daughter's birthday is also 1st July (she'll be 7)!

Help a newbie please! How many syns are there in a jar of this sauce? I am starting SW tomorrow, and trying to plan my meals for the day. I am watching a Food Directory on Ebay (OMG, they go for so much on there, but as an Expat without access to a group (and being too poor to join online), I...
