Hello I'm still here! Not been on here at all recently. I'm still desperately trying to get to target but I'm still yo-yoing a little. Had a couple of good losses then pulled my back and had a virus so was feeling really unwell and missed a weigh in. I went back last Tuesday and I'd gained 3.5...

How's your weekend going chick? Mines as bad as ever! I need locking up at weekends :( gonna try and be good today and maybe even do an exercise DVD as my fellas at work so I'm home alone feeling skint and fat haha xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

I got weighed last night and lost 1.5 so not quite as much as I'd hoped but better than a gain. And it's star week so hopefully will have a better loss next week. Doing success express today and so far so good apart from 3 chocolate fingers at 1.5 syns each. Need choc at the minute so suppose...

He's done it about 12 months on and off. I'm more of a gin girl but sometimes a nice cold pint and a packet of ready salted is just what a girl needs ;) How you doing? Did you weigh in yesterday? I did ok last night, had a dime bar but still in my syns. Today and tomorrow are my real testers...

I decided to go for lamb shaslik instead. Was tandoori lamb on a sizzler with loads of big onions and bell peppers. Had 1 popadom to start and a bit of rice with my shaslik so all in all was pretty good and really really enjoyed it without feeling all full and bloated. We went for the curry...

The soup is fab for weight loss I'll try and post the pic here, if it doesn't work I'll type the recipe tomorrow when I have a bit more time :) Off for a curry tonight argh! Gonna go for lamb rogan josh I think because according to the book it's only 6.5 syns per portion. Do you have any other...

I'm back! Been a bit quiet as been hectic at work and been a slimming world rebel! Got weighed last night and put 2 pounds on but deserved it. Back on track now and back to scan bran and success express. Breakfast was melon and banana. Lunch was 12 speed soup with my 5 scan bran, 75g phili...

Hi hun sorry for the late reply just been so busy! Diets gone terrible the last couple of days! How about you? I'm back on it today but feel like I didn't stop eating crap from Saturday night to last night. I was good whilst doing my overtime then it all went wrong haha. I work at a sixth...

Yes I would say so. You definitely have the two thirds super free and it does say you can add your healthy extras in as part of your meal x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

I stuck to success express yesterday and had no syns :) today started well with a load of pineapple but the soup I'd made for my lunch was awful so didn't eat it. Had ham on healthy extra allowance of bread instead. Had 15.5 syns in the form of maltesers and a bag of crisps too but I'm ok with...

I took your advice and didn't eat any rubbish. Stuck to spicy chicken salad for tea and I'm back on my success express today. Gonna hopefully get weighed tonight or tomorrow at another group :) you gotta just keep going haven't you. I slept most of the evening and still tired today so think I'm...

I'm missing group tonight :( I felt bloated all day so came home and weighed myself (stupid thing to do) I was hovering between staying the same and putting 1 on :( I'm gutted though because the other day I'd lost like 3lb! Plus I know this weekend is gonna be absolutely horrendous as I'm...

I just make it up as I go along! This morning I put in the slow cooker: 6 chicken thighs, chopped onion, crushed garlic, tin of tomatoes and about a teaspoon each of turmeric, cumin, coriander, ground ginger (you could just use a tablespoon of curry powder though) then a few cloves and cardamom...

Hey Hun was fab thank you, how about you? I loved the Greek place and didn't over indulge that much but have had a lot of bad snacks over the weekend. Feel ok though and back on SE today and tomorrow so time will tell when I get weighed tomorrow! Ooh that all sounds fab, hope you find it ok...

Sorry I'm a bit late replying! Yes they're the ones. Think they are about £1.30 in H & B for 10 xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yea they are 1 syn each or 5 as a healthy extra! They are dead filling but you gotta drink LOADS of water with them. Give them a go xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's better, you gotta smile on a Friday! Haha it was Nandos! Not nachos! Just marinated the chicken in nandos sauce (half a syn) then George Formby'd it! Scan bran are the high fibre crisp breads you get from group. They also sell them in holland and Barrett. They don't taste great on...

That's fab! I'm loving it this week can't wait to see my results on Tuesday. I certainly feel slimmer after just 2 days!!! xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Don't worry hun it will come off next week. Try success express with me. I've found it really easy this week. Yesterday I had massive fruit salad and muller for breakfast, homemade veg soup and scan bran for lunch then homemade nandos with a massive salad for tea. Then I had to force down the...

You've done great! I know I should try and aim for even lower really but i just don't think I could maintain it. Gonna set it at 11.13 then if I go ok I'll knock another half a stone off! Gonna be relocating at the end if October so will have to find a new group :( I'm gutted cause I love mine...

I think she probably didn't want everyone else to get confused with it, she said its really hard and she would only say do it if you're getting married! Well when I originally started dieting I was 14.10 and lost the bulk of that doing Cambridge diet but then maintained around the 13s for a...

Yes you can on EE according to the book :) not sure of all the different types but I know you can have 20 hazelnuts or 20 almonds. The others are smaller amounts than that so be careful. my favourite is 0% Greek yogurt with chopped banana, blueberries and 20 hazelnuts :D xx Sent from my iPhone...

I'm just gonna try it til Friday then do EE for the weekend and hopefully back to success express. I'm out Friday night for a big Greek mezze and drinks so hopefully will limit the damage of that. Gotta say my consultant didn't seem very keen on the idea of SE. Why can't we just eat what we...

Well against all the odds I managed a respectable maintain! Gonna have to be super good this week so it doesn't creep up on me. Success Express here I come :) xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

Sounds great Hayley! I really hope it works for me like it has for you :) gonna do some planning tonight after WI. I'm rather excited :D xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm going to try success express for a week. I get weighed tonight and am expecting a gain after a terrible weekend binge! I think I will be ok apart from breakfast. I love a sw grill up on a weekend and don't like mushrooms or tomatoes so normally just eat fruit afterwards. However if I'm...

No I haven't tried it but somebody else did suggest it. I get weighed tonight and then I think I will try that this week. Is it the same as extra easy but you have 2 thirds of your plate super free? xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com mobile app

I agree it does do you good sometimes. Will see what the scales say tomorrow but at the minute they are telling me I've gained 2!! I need to confess I'm a serial weigher too! Jessy, your post just made my belly rumble, all sounds yummy! I used to get away with it every weekend too but now I'm...

I've had an awful binge weekend! I was fed up and it's star week so I just went a little crazy.. I've just totted up my syns for the week and i've had a massive 210 syns! (alcohol and cake related mainly) I normally only have 70 or less. I get weighed on a Tuesday (tomorrow) so I have stuck to...

What results have people had from doing the challenge? I started it yesterday and so far so good! It certainly seems to be doing what it's supposed to! Not sure it's helping me lose weight but time will tell! I like mine with yogurt and banana on top and today I had them for lunch with home...

No it doesn't look like you can on red. Probably because of the fat content and you get enough fat from the extra meat you would eat on red? That's all I can think of x

I can't wait to try this haha thanks!!

Haha what is that? Am I missing something or is this an actual yoga position? I need details haha x

Oh no would you not recommend it then? My consultant says its fantastic.for getting things moving as long as you drink plenty of water with it. I must admit I am sceptical about it xx

Thanks for all your tips! I'm trying the scan bran challenge, hope of doesn't make matters worse! X

Anyone done this and can share there thoughts/ results? For those that don't know what it is, you have 5 scan bran a day for a week. I'm interested to see if this boosted anyone's weight loss. xx

Ha yes I do wee a lot! I find I need that much water as I do a lot of exercise so need to stay hydrated. It also stops me getting headaches. I lost a pound so better than nothing but felt like I deserved more this week. I've had 54 syns so not deprived myself massively but gonna stick to 10 a...

No it isn't that although I am on the pill so maybe that could be affecting me.

Does anyone have any good tips for beating the bloat? I drink between 2 and 3 litres of water a day and follow extra easy to the letter. I've been really strict with my syns this week but it seems the less I have eaten the more bloated I feel! It's weigh in tonight and was hoping for a really...

I sometimes get the Asda good for you pasta pots. The chow main ones are free and i put 2 together with some shredded cooked chicken/beef in. It's really nice and satisfying and feels like your having a chicken/beef chow mein with zero syns. Leftovers from tea the night before is always a good...

Thanks so much for that info. I did watch that programme which got me interested but never thought of doing it alongside sw until now. I think I will give it a go and if I do need the 500 cals would use them on sw friendly food. Thank you again :)

Health Extra B nuts Yes I thought about maybe using the oil too. I've just had my allowance of 20 almonds and they were quite satisfying! Will be nice with fruit and yogurt to give it some crunch! X

Does anyone use nuts as their HeB? Thought I would give it a go this week to see if it speeds up weigh loss rather than having my usual bread or cereal bars. Says we can have 20 almonds so trying that today. Anyone else tried this and got results?

Hi Domane, Congratulations on you fab journey so far - I envy anyone who can run! Can I ask you about the 5:2? I have been a member since May (well been a member on and off for years really) and am only a few pounds off my target now. I love love love slimming world but I am trying to be...

Hi I've just got my book and reading it can't wait to start! i'm on Cambridge at the minute but keep stopping and starting because i find it too restrictive. Do you think i will gain weight if i do it straight after cambridge? the recipes in the book are making my mouth water they sound fab...
