Thanks very much. I will give it a try now I know other folk do the same. I didn't want to risk wasting both items as they are too expensive to end up in the bin.

Just wondering, has anyone blended Zero noodles into a shake to make it thicker? I am struggling and thought it could help keep me fuller. Been trying to start for a couple of weeks but fall off the wagon by evening.

Hi all, Sorry in advance if I shouldn`t ask here, but I thought all the keen cooks would be here. I need to buy a new frying pan & wok preferably both with lids. Please will you all share with me what you use, I don`t mind paying for good quality pans that last. I am intrigued by some of the...

Please don`t let me put you off. Looking at your stats you have had great losses ( I am only losing average 0.5 pounds per weeek) so why not have another bash?

I am on HRT and really struggling to get the weight off. I don`t know if the HRT is to blame or not,sorry if that is not what you were hoping to hear. WE are all different so maybe you will be ok.Good luck!

Debtin, I am the same height as you and used to weigh 8 stone. When I joined class I weighed nearly 16 stone - oh how I wish I had nipped it in the bud when I only had half a stone to lose. Don`t feel awkward you are doing the sensible thing by joining now. Although it can sound catty when...

You can get a suppository which will soften things up from below too ( not sure if available without prescription but worth asking) Also I would suggest massaging your tummy, using any oil you have at hand, using small circle movements following the direction of the digestive tract. IIRC from...

Wow you look awesome and so much younger too. You have done amazingly weel to lose so much weight on only 14 months. This is just the inspiration I need as I am really struggling atm.

Congratulations! What an inspiration you are, can`t wait to see youe photos. I bet your smile is a mile wide.

Hi divadarling,your superfree question has already been answered but I just wanted to mention that if you are looking for meal ideas,the recipe sticky on this forum has some really great ideas and some posters have put up photos of the food they have cooked. You have everything there from egg...

Carrot & swede mashed together are nice as a side dish or as a topping for cottage/fish pie. Have you tried making veg soup? You could throw in any combination of veg you have and blend it, herbs and spices can jazz it up a bit too. Also blended veg could be used as a sauce with pasta/rice/meat...

Hi there, my suggestion would be to try sticking to 100% on plan green days, but rather than always choosing rice, pasta or potatoes why not try out some of the other free green choices, like quinoa and other grains and pulses. You can make some lovely salads with them or or serve them as a nice...

First of all hugs to you - being in pain and having limited mobility is miserable. You don`t have to exerceise as part of the SW programme but of course it is good for your fitness and physical and emotional wellbeing. You could always look online for chair exercises that you can do at home if...

lindax, please can I ask if you choose or avoid particular foods within the SW plan? The eating plan given to by the diebtic nurse was pretty dire and I think I would gain huge amounts of weight if I followed it. I have diet controlled diabetes and have just joined my local SW class, but I...

I am thinking go getting a Leslie Sansone walking dvd, might be worth trying the clips on youtube to see if you get on with it. Have you seen you doctor to rule out any blood sugar or blood presure problems?

Hi, I use protein powders for a quick meal (like brekkie on a work morning if I am running late) or to add to porridge but I havent dabbled cooking with it yet. Just a small suggestion, next time you buy from myprotein why not buy a pouch of unflavoured powder and add flavouring like these...

HI everyone, I have read a bit of this thread but I am so impressed/impatient and need to ask a couple of questions please. Feeling a bit carried away like an excited puppy, Kron and friends, your enthusiasm is infectious....:D I am just starting out on my weight loss journey (again). Female...

Does anyone sell blends of spice with no sugar in them? I would like to buy tandoori, cajun, tikka, jerk etc ready made as I don`t feel confident to make my own mix and the cost of buying all the individual ingredients would be :eek: I would prefer to buy from a local supermarket but will order...

Hi everyone, I am trying to organise myself to start the Dukan diet and to make things as easy as possible I would like to bulk cook some foods and freeze them. I have been searching the forums and seen that the muffins and quiche can be frozen. Has anyone frozen their galettes? I have always...

Exante recommends 20 minutes exercise per day - so I reckon that would be around 4 times a day with enough time left over to make yourself a shake afterwards. I am another with no other half to join in :cry:

This is the book with the carrot cake recipe... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rick-Gallops-Diet-Green-Light-Cookbook/dp/0753511800/ Currently have one used for £1.39 Not sure if I am allowed to post the recipe here because of copyright? It also has a chocolate cake recipe.

I had a bunion op 14 years ago, immediately afterwards it was not as painful as I expected but then I got infections and was off work for 3 months. I guess they must have a better way of doing it now if you only need to be home for 2 weeks. I would highly recommend homeopathic arnica to help...
