don't skip the class!! It will be much harder to go again next week - not to mention harder to stick to the plan! Your other half doesn't have to "diet". If you have low fat sausages, give them "normal" ones and so on!

What was your week like before starting on Slimming World? If it was "bad" it might be just catching up with you? Don't give up hope, Slimming World DOES work!

oops! Never mind, the week is behind you! Good luck for WI!

did you pick up the password for the online section? I get free internet on my mobile so if I am unsure, out it comes and onto the slimming world website!

i dont think anything is as satisfying as a wispa bar to be honest lol what about an aero?

do you go to class or do you do it alone?

Good luck for this week! I've found some great recipes on the recipe board!

I have had a bad weekend this weekend, it's a one off so I'm not too worried about it. I'm back on plan today and trying to keep my syns to a minimum!

I went to the recipe board and on the right corner it says "search this board" much easier than using the search function on the navigation bar at the top

I tend to eat something for the sake of eating it to use up my syns. This week I am already struggling for syns as I had a really bad weekend (all booze shame on me!) I normally have 10 a day but used over 30 on my first day of the week!

hard boiled? Really fancy an egg mayo butty but after the weekend I'm a tad low on syns lol

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/83688-cous-cous-quiche.html that one?

sorry i misread, thought you were hoping for only a 2lb gain!!

not to worry, damage is done now! Good luck at WI tomorrow and I'm sure it's lesson learnt!

you cant have 6 lol

eggs vlf yogurt pasta passata chicken

Depends which plan you are on! I hear that eating off the plan if following extra easy gives less of a gain. Not sure how true this is though! When is your WI? Do you exercise?

no, sounds about right! Sorry! Did you have any syns "spare"?

Why is canned fruit syned? If you drain the fruit, is it then less syns?

yeah it happened to me!! I gained 1.5, my consultant couldnt explain it just told me to carry on (which i didnt, i had a tantrum and had an "off" week instead!!)

this is all i can find from bakery! Morrisons has nothing Asda Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies, in store bakery 45g each Original 11 Syns Green 11 Syns

I prefer Asda's reduced fat cumberland sausages if you have one nearby - and as an added bonus, they are always on offer! They are 1 syn each too

Found the NI on the Tesco website Steak & Kidney Puddings: Typical Values Per 100g Energy 892kJ/213kcal Protein 8.8g Carbohydrate 23.0g of which sugars 1.2g Fat 9.5g of which saturates 3.8g Fibre 1.6g Sodium 0.44g Equivalent as salt 1.12g cannot find the weight...

i think a meat and potato pie is 19 syns

Welcome! Hope you see some good results!

I love pasta n sauce on top of mine. chopped up bacon and a healthy extra of cheese - yum!

thanks, im just a bit dubious since I gained last time I tried it without doing anything "wrong" so wanted to double check!

Mum's eh? Mine just doesn't think and often says hurtful things. Like "I have this you could have borrowed, but it wont fit"!! She seems to think she is a lot smaller than she is - she is only around one size smaller than me, she drinks lots of wine (at least 2 glasses a night, a bottle + at...

Does anyone have a "normal" baked cheesecake recipe? I have come across lemon and orange but i just want a plain one!

the 1/3 rule does it have to be on your plate??? Say I have tuna pasta for lunch, can i just eat more super free foods before / after? I know i could have salad but to be honest I find it hard to eat salad! I know you dont have to have the 1/3 sf foods but I'd prefer to have as many as i can!

I'm obese on the wii fit so my mii is dumpy lol quite funny but when other people are around embarrasing!

OMG obese is an awful word - i think cos it's "clinical" so more official!!

i dont think you can

I use the word fat, and even say I'm going to "fat club" I dont see it as an insult cos it's a fact lol Should someone call me a fat cow or fat b*tch or something, then I would take it as an insult I think though!

found this too Lifeline Online - log on.

I think you can get the ins and outs of EE on the SW website? Lifeline Online - log on.

thanks!

thank you!

well done that's fantastic!

I made a bad batch the other day, i think cos I added frozen veg to it! Thanks for the idea of making it separately, don't know why it just didnt enter my head! Why not give it a try? If you are making it in a fresh pan with nothing else then you wont be spoiling anything if you dont like it

I posted asking what the whole team thing was about and never got an answer! *sob* lol can anyone enlighten me?

wow well done that is fantastic!

I did the same yesterday, read something in the book, ate it and when I checked the syns online it didnt apply to that product! Gutted wasn't the word but will just cut down over the week. Yesterday was my first day after WI so still had 70 - 105 to play with! (luckily!) Good luck for your...

I am planning my very first SW BBQ next weekend and want some ideas for alternatives. I already have: Low fat sausages Homemade burgers (any help with how to keep them whole would be fantastic!) Diet Coke chicken kebabs

Massive well done! Can't wait til I hit a size 14!!

I just wasnt sure if you had to have both if you know what i mean! thanks for clearing it up!

When are we starting this? Next week?

Am going to give it another bash! Breakfast and snacks are always super free. Dinner is normally, 1/3 super free foods even if completely free on one day (which obviously it would not be if I'm doing EE) My question is lunch. If I have it so it's free on red / green, does that matter? I dont...

Well done ladies! I lost 1.5 - but my ticker only works in whole lbs!

sorry misread!

surely if he prescribed it you only pay the cost of the prescription regardless what drug you are on? Good luck but I'd be wary, especially when using syns as mentioned above! Have you hit a plateau on SW?

not sure. I left mine on full while it reduced, was perfect!

it's fab but make sure you eat loads of super free foods! EE doesn't agree with me! gutted isn't the word!

sw chips?

Was just going to ask the same. If the style is physically not going to fit, then you shouldn't be made to wear it! I would say something to be honest! Either style that will suit your figure or you don't want to be MoH

I stopped going when I reached target due to location. It was a ball ache getting to class so when I "didn't need" to anymore, I stopped! ...now I'm back with all the weight back on plus some!

if i am short of something to eat as a he b, i have a hifi bar. If I'm short of a he a, i get a glass of milk

Good luck! Class is definitely the way forward!

I feel totally the same, I have been 100% this week and feel really really bloated, I have upped my water intake and nothing has helped! I have been to the gym twice so I'm hoping my good work will pay off!

Might just be the exercise kicking in. My friend maintains if she has been doing exercise. Although her clothes feel loose, she doesn't lose any weight for a couple of weeks, then will drop a couple of pound. Not sure if that will make you feel any better about it though! Can be soul destroying...

pasta quiche?

Yes, but I didn't lose weight on it! Infact, I gained. Consultant even baffled! Told me to try a second week but I just couldn't!! Went back to green! - well actually I fell off the wagon, kinda had a tantrum!

I dont use all my As either - maybe that's why I have been struggling for the last few months! Normally use my Bs cos I have green days so double meat!

I always try to stay below 10, some days i dont have any - should i be having more then??

I've had a look on this board but none of the recipes i can find have quantities of the pudding rice required. Does anyone have a recipe please?

I've stuck to the plan 100%. It's not my first week at this group but I have been messing around for so long that I've decided to "start again" in my head and so this is my first week so to speak! (confused?!)

How much water do you drink per day? In the last week I have managed at least 2l a day. Was only drinking tea before that!

the good news is you know the syn values! Always a good start! Now put the food down and go get some water!

thanks for replying, didnt think anyone would hehe me and my boring posts!! yeah im gonna start a diary i think, should have taken a photo last week when i restarted my journey! Got my first weigh in tomorrow so will take a picture tomorrow night!

To be honest, I would have done the same. The amount of times I've been on a course or away at a conference and "had" to eat the meals provided. It's the stigma of a diet, we dont always want to admit to being on a diet if we are "big" - well i know I dont! Pick yourself up, dust yourself off...

I'll join!! I will aim for 10lb off in 10 weeks! I weigh in on a Thursday evening. First weigh in this week!

No, they are Morrisons own brand but not sure what they are called.

Depends what you like to eat. My "treats" are normally a jarred curry with slimming world chips and rice!

Have edited my signature and it looks so simple, just five little goals before my main PAT!!

as above, lots of super free foods needed on top of all that but looks good!

By that I'm a medium frame (woohoo news to me!) so should be 133-147lb which is 9.5 - 10.5 stone. Aiming for 11ish for now so will see if I can get the last half stone when I reach my target!

haha

I'd just assess it as you go. I've set a target but it's not set in stone. When I get closer I will see if I am happy above that weight or whether I need to carry on and so on

I've lost a couple in the past and i've never had to pay for a new one

I know exactly how you feel. All it takes is for me to have one bad day and I'm off! Even worse not seeing results I want on the scales have me reaching for the junk! I read something yesterday that I thought summed it up for me! It's Choice Not Chance That Determines Our Destiny

tbh i'd only use your base recipe lol Am thinking BBQ chicken and ham! I'd rather spend more syns and it be like the real thing! Thanks for posting!

well done that's fantastic!

Climb back on the wagon! You wont have done as bad as you think!

looks yum! (apart from the eggs!) I am looking for a pizza recipe, was going to try smash pizza but wasn't totally sure!!

I used a can for mine, was contemplating making it tonight from a bottle but think I will stick to cans from now on if that's the case!

I saw a post in the recipe board for a low fat cake?? When i started this thread was hoping for a few more alternatives hehe

the smash pizza sounds so wrong lol is it really nice?

that just sounds so wrong - is it nice though? lol amazing what you eat on slimming world! Not heard of them, will have a look thanks!

What do you dunk into your soup? I'm a massive bread lover, nimble just doesn't cut it and a HE just isnt enough - so I don't have any but really miss dunking when I have soup. Do you have an alternative?

What "proper" food do you miss? Have you found a SW alternative? I miss pizza, normally substitute it for a tortilla wrap one but it's just not the same! It doesn't hold the weight of much! The calendar had a recipe for one with a proper base so might give that a shot!

wow that sounds yummy! is that like potato salad? Not sure what I'm having yet, maybe jacket potato and beans even though it is roasting here!

Totally agree! Best to hear it from an expert even if you are not going to go back.

need to get me some of those!!

Welcome back, know how you are feeling, it's the "quick fix" mentality! We all know slimming world is the best there is, yet I've put back on the 5 stone I lost on it, and tried every single diet since! Even went as far as the Cambridge Diet but didn't even last a day on that! Food is my...

Are you stressed / worried about anything?

If there was a magical fix then there wouldn't be a massive obesity problem! I'd rather not live in fear of s**ting myself!

Well done, that's a fantastic loss...now where can I get me one of these bugs? lol

yeah you could do extra easy providing a third of your plate is super free!

I'm currently kidding myself into thinking that I'm a 16! Only two pairs of 16s fit - and I have lots of them! If I were to go into a shop tomorrow, I doubt I could find anything in the store that fit me in a 16. Last year I lost 1st 9lb and went from an 18 to a 15 so I'm with the 14lb theory...

OMG I HATE the calculator!! I don't trust it at all! How would you catagorise a savoury rice? I've put it as Rice > Savoury Pot?

Just gonna say the same! Don't know why! I really wanted a Wispa yesterday but refused to spend my days syns on a chocolate bar - but when i look at it weekly it doesn't sound so bad! I do try not to go over 10 each day tho, so would only give me 70

I bought a bike in the summer of 2007 and it's been used twice lol paid less than you tho!! I go on the wiifit, but find it a bit dull and lack motivation to get it out!

wow i might grab a handful at my next class lol I didnt get on with my directory, far too bulky to carry around shopping so just as easy to use the online syns - which is also a bit naff, they are far too slow to update and still dont cover everything, don't tell you if you can use it as a HE...

Good luck, eating before you go is a much better idea, you will be less tempted! Could you not give her a call first to see what kind of things she will be serving?

What kind of exercise did you take to start your way back into it?

thanks, great help! thursday and friday sound like something i want to eat - not sure about monday or wednesday though lol

whats this team section all about?

when i search walkers and prawn on the website, all that comes up is wotsits!

People at my group say they definitely need something to go on it! Personally I dont fancy them but they are supposed to be fantastic for weight loss

If you dont mind sharing, what meals have you got planned for the week? I'm in need of ideas!

thanks for looking anyway! It has a new style packaging, similar to the new wholegrain pasta n sauces so maybe its just super new! Will try the syn calc but dont really trust that!

no sorry, but didnt want to read and run! Hope you get a referral! I would love a reduction, even when im a size 12 i have HUGE boobs! It really annoys me, I can never get tops to fit properly if they have "boob sections"!

now you are talking my language lol unfortunately I have no lemonade and dont like SoCo neat!! Sorry to hijack but what are the syns of SoCo? I googled and it brought up 4, SW website says nothing and the book says single shots 1.5/2 (cant remember which!)

I'm having home made egg fried rice!

was that on red? I'd have been tempted to use low fat sausages rather than quorn lol

I've just got back into SW after farting around for a while and feel the same. The tea I made tonight the kids wolfed down which is just fantastic, I am normally lazy and just make something quick like pasta n sauce but then get bored of eating the same things and give up!

tuna mayo pasta n sauce savoury rice i tend to dump anything that isnt beans on top!

I go by clothes size. At a size 12 I was happy with myself even though I was higher than my "recommended" weight of 9.5 - 11.5 stone! At 10.5 I would be all skin and bone never mind 9.5!

bachelors

I'm being lazy and having savoury rice and jacket potato!

I honestly feel like I just wrote that!! I have never tried just the online but when I do it off my own back and dont go to class, it's easy to cheat! The scales at the class do not lie!

Is this free on green? Cannot find it on the SW website!

My results are varied on it, lost 5.5lb in the first two weeks then gained 1.5 out of nowhere! Didn't do it again!!

they really are worth the syns - the only quorn I can eat without having to burn it / cover it in a sauce!

thanks, i will dig out a thin piccie and stick it up! Fat pics dont do it for me either - they just make me want to raid the (empty) biscuit tin! I need to set mini goals I think. The first time I did SW it was easy cos I didn't know what it could do for me - I didn't know I would be able to...

well done!

I joined Slimming World 5 years ago at my biggest ever weight. I lost 5 stone and over the last 3 1/2 years it's all crept back on. I joined again at the beginning of the year, was off to a good start and moved house and since then I have found it hard to get into - but can't figure out why...

recently - not a lot. I have just gone with the flow of buying new clothes in bigger sizes but now summer is approaching and the clothes I wore last summer no longer fit. So no more! I refuse to buy new clothes, I refuse to buy bigger clothes they WILL be fitting me!

all the time - hence me being back in the same place I was 5 years ago! Not this time! I haven't just had a baby like I had then so I have no excuses!

I hope anyone can join in! The speed foods I have eaten today: pepper tomatoes onion mushrooms must try harder!

could you not explain to him that you need the fry light? or maybe buy it when he isnt around?

do you have the NI from the packet? Not sure what the pastry would be though.

Apparently one day you lose inches and one you lose lbs (cant remember which is which) so maybe that's why its best to alternate? I find I'm starving on red days though!

what are multi juice cartons? Like a lunch box carton?

I often eat sweet things until the point of feeling sick. Then I feel guilty - so eat some more - not sure what I think I am gaining! (other than fat!)

Hi, I'm SkinnyMini (well, a wannabe!). Have started Slimming World although struggling to get into it at the moment. Hope to get some inspiration here!
