Hey all, Im getting married May 31st 2011 (if all goes to plan) I weigh 21st at present and would love to be at goal (10st) by then although realistically would just like to lose as much as possible. Just thought I would stick my nose in and introduce myself. :D Tobii-Rhea xxx

Hi and welcome to Minimins. I am so sorry to hear of your really sad news. *hugs*. It is good that you have decided to start thinking of you again as it will give you something to focus on. I haven't personally tried Xenical (yet) but there is alot of information on this forum and alot of...

Hey, I have another 10st 12lbs to lose. I have been doing the points but to be honest its driving me up the wall with all the counting. I am going to try core after tuesdays weigh in. The food list is here ukladyluck1 Good luck with whichever you choose :) Tobii-Rhea xx

Ok, thanks for your help :D x

Ah are they the little boxes, you can get caramel ones like worthers originals?

Thanks for that :) Thanks Iv looked on that before but didnt think to look for the core list lol x Good luck if you do try it again, I might give it a go, although will have to start properly once I get paid and can get proper food in again. :) Good point, Ill keep that in mind :P...

New year, New start. Happy New Year Mini's, hope you all had a great Xmas/Yule. I am doing Weight Watchers Flex Plan as are most people on WW I think. I have been looking into the Core Plan as it seems to me a easier and healthier way of eating. Although I stick with points on Flex, it is...

Hey good luck with the fresh new shiny thread and your upcoming losses, I think I may do the same :) Tobii-Rhea xx

Cheers Auburn, definately will. Iv had 2 oatsosimples today with milk and 5 points then roast veg, boiled veg and pork chop at 3 points with ketchup at i think 1 point. So I have 16 left today Tobii xx

Well I got weighed tonight and lost 4lbs woop, so that is the 4lbs lost again that i had gained the previous 2 weeks so i am back at 20st 12lbs where i was before :D:D:D

Hey Saski thanks for taking the time to read my diary. No worries bout not finding it sooner :) Yeah iv started writing it all down, well typing it onto the laptop so i shall put the last few days at the end of this post :) Thanks for your comment. On another note, I managed a 2...

This is the perfect time to tackle my weight, the other problems I have are not likely to go any time soon so if i dont tackle it now then i never will. What annoys me is that people are picking up on the odd few times I have binged and not any of the other time when I lost 5 stone myself...

There is absolutely NO WAY I am going to be anywhere close to target. I have had a few bad weeks although am back on track now :) Tobii-Rhea xx

Right today has been a good day foodwise, I have had: Friday 10 Dec TLC Soup 3 2x KM bread 2 choc peanuts 3 dried pineapple 1.5 raisins 1 WW spag bol 5 veg 0 2x tea w/ 4 sugars 2 1/2pt milk 2 1/4 pt milk 1 2 OSSimple 3...

Yes please Irene, apparently it will get read more that way. Thanks. Tobii-Rhea xx

I can't sleep because of my Fiance and puppies snoring all night which is why Im on the net which helps me fall asleep, I literally cant sleep with any noise except my fan and wake up to any little noise!. Im not tired because of weight and eating far too much, I am being checked out for...

Hey peoples, Sorry I havent been around for weeks, just been feeling really low and pooey :p but I am back. Well things started out great and then the last 2 weeks i gained 2lbs each week. I am hoping it is down to time of the month, my consultant has been lowering my points each week...

....

Thanks TRISTAR. It definately is. I got there a couple months back and then had a gain. But im back there now and the only way is down! I wouldnt quite say I was an inspiration lol but thankyou, its a nice compliment. I have weigh in tomorrow night, although, even though i have stuck to plan, i...

Thanks Auburn, Alot of people have prefered my old name and my brother even asked why I had a stupid new name on facebook :S But mates like it :) I cant wait to feel better either, like I said its my partners bday today and hes been looking after me and doing all the housework lol i feel...

I still havent asked to have my diary moved as havent been on here much this week but I will. I was weighed tonight and had lost 2lbs and picked up my silver 7. I have 6lbs to get my first stone (at WW) and 7lbs to hit my 5%. I was quite impressed this week as after being bed ridden for...

Hey babe, you have been my inspiration since I met you on here and I also class you as my hero. I look up to you so much, I think you are an amazingly beautiful, intelligent, determined, successful young woman and I can only dream of acheiving half of what you have. You have done extremely...

Hey LaLaLou, Thanks, I lost 2lbs this week and picked up my silver seven. So 16lbs to go if i remember rightly. Yeah I was on SW before I liked it at the beginning and then kept gaining weight, my consultant was an a**e and was telling me to eat between 4000-4500cals a day to lose more, no...

Hey Dave just wanted to say well done on picking up your 2.5st and club 10 awards this week. I got my silver seven (WW equivelent of half st award) tonight so am happy. Just a tip, the Asda SP and Tesco Value pasta and sauce in cheese and brocolli is gorgeous and saves alot of money esp if...

Hey all well second weigh in tonight and I lost 2lbs and picked up my first silver seven :) I have 6lbs till I get my fist stone (at WW) off and 7lbs till my 5%. I have dropped into the 20st bracket now too again which is great :) Well done everyone else. I cant believe I have gone over my...

Thankies, lets hope next week is nearly as good :D

Thanks BlackWidow and MommyB, where or who or how do I ask to have my diary moved, im still a bit of a noob when it comes to forums lol :D

OK, I found out my scales were lying to me and I hadnt lost 12.5lbs. So my goal was 24lbs by Xmas. I joined WW last week and got weighed yesterday and had a loss of 6lbs, so I have 18lbs to go, and with 7 weighins to go as my last one will be just after Xmas day, as long as I lose an average of...

Well done, you are doing great. Nice to see you have treated yourself to some decent trainers, that will definately help :) Just make sure you wrap up warm its bitterly cold out there. Kel xxx

Hey wow I am so happy, I lost 6lbs this week so I am only 1lb off my goal for this month how cool is that lol!! :D Well done every one else, you are all doing great Kel xxx

Hey can I join in too please. I only joined WW yesterday after SW so 1st weighin wont be until next Tues, if its ok im going to still count 3 dec weighin too as it will be from the week in nov and iv started late too. Im going to go for 7lbs as iv already lost a chunk but anymore would be...

thanks :) although i have a feeling alot was water weight as my scales are telling me i have gained it back and some but they are very unreliable (apparently my fiance gained 5stone in one day haha :S but the past 2 weeks i havent been dieting per se, I am joining WW tomorrow night, so will see...

i forgot to come and tell you i had a 12.5lb loss so inc the other 1lb thats half a pound under a stone loss lol =]

Yes that may be putting it down but the others in this thread and many others are not, that is the problem, you are reading what you choose to read and not the whole picture! But thankyou for your good wishes, and I wish you good luck in your journey too xx

Hey Kiira I came across this thread so thought I would start you all up again. Today Im having a SNOOZY SUNDAY as am being really lazy but tomorrow should be MAKE A MOVE MONDAY as a) hopefully my Wii will have turned up and b) I am going to start my nightly walk round the block (and slowly...

Wow talk about singling someone out. If you are going to start quoting parts of my diaries at least read all of them. You will see that my consultant DID threaten me as it is on my diary and also if you read properly I havent put SW down, I put that it CAN work in THIS thread!!!I also didnt...

I did keep food diaries, and i sent them to the consultant and she rang me telling me to eat much more, my food diaries consisted of 3 meals, drinks and 3 snacks. you will see n my diary. And you will also see on another of my threads people agreeing saying the same happened to them Kel xx

I too thought the same r.e not calling it a diet as it does allow you to have ANY food just in the right amounts. I think maybe it was just a grudge my consultant had with me as i had lots of grief off her in the end that is why i quit but as long as you find a decent consultant who doesnt tell...

I have a negative comment about SW, i was on it until last week since may. I was sticking to plan 100% and was gaining 5lbs a week. When i cheated on the plan i lost weight (and numerous people have said the same on my diary) but when i stuck to plan i gained. I spoke to my consultant about this...

ssssshhhhh was tired i meant dispatched lol :P xxx

Thanks alot babe....you are very nearly there!!! :) xxxx

Yay i was right lol Im so glad to see you are getting back to your normal self again. I had an email saying my wii etc had been delivered so will get that in a few days yay xxx

:Dthanks babe and you xx

Yeah I know what you mean. I worked out that a cup of tea for me is 17kc (50ml milk) and 15kc (per tsp sugar) so 47 altogether and i have maybe 3 a day. I can drink it with sweetener but i would rather have proper tea less often than one i dont enjoy just for the sake of drinking it :)...

Ah well in that case they may be the ones you mentioned as I know Kiira mentioned about going to salons for them, oh well theres always more than one sort of something lol xx

The toning beds that I used were at the gym and were like was said before, bed type things with the arm and leg bits separate and they move/vibrate in different ways dep on which one you used. They were very relaxing though xx

Thanks alot both, I cant see or feel the weight loss yet and I too have ALOT to get off still, 128lbs to be exact!! I cant wait till the day I hit the 10st mark :) Well done and good luck both of you and the rest :D

Actually the little bags of BK are i think 125cals so its not too bad as i tend to have arounf 300kc for brekkie, 400kc for lunch and 500kc for dinner so im left with 3-400kc to play with. Just a thought though, when it comes to tea coffee etc do you count the calories in them, ignore them...

Not a problem, i just know what its like over/under estimating things....although its always better over estimating things and having extra cals left at the end of the day lol :P xx

Thanks Kae, my pleasure xxx :D:D:D

Hey I am exactly the same as you, pretty much the same weight and the only exercise i do is from my bed where i spend most the day and night on the lappy to the bathroom or occasionally downstairs, i prob spend max 5 hrs a week downstairs!! I probably walk once a week/fortnight down to...

Hey Lunar Jim I have seen quite a few of your threads/posts but thought i should really start commenting. I have just started a 1500 ish cal a day diet messed up a little today tho, my prob is when it comes to snacky things, in my case atm bags of butterkist popcorn, unlike some people where...

hi i just noticed on you calorie counting that you had put down 2 egg whites at 104 calories. Last time I checked a few days ago (im doing lowcal too) 1 egg white is 17cals so 34cals for the two!! Anyways well done so far and good luck on the rest xx kel xx

Hey ladies (and men too) :) Well my goal was to lose 24lb by Xmas starting 3 weeks ago and I have lost 12.5lbs so far so over half way there, another 11.5lbs to go in the next 8 weeks so thats about 1.5lbs per week lets hope I can do it. It has made my total loss 69lbs which is really good...

Was going through random threads, came across this one and your talking about meeeeeee yay, and its all nice stuff wow, makes a change lol. Well i loves you both too xxxx

Hey Scott, You seem to be doing pretty damn good so far and the losses are looking great! Are you following any diet in particular or just low cal? if low cal how many are you trying to stick to. The meals sound good to me, I am just starting lowcal 1500 a day max (more details in my new...

Aww babes I really do hope you get better soon, i know what you mean with the ulcers, i have had a continuous ulcer on the front of my tongue for nearly a year now it drives you up the wall. When i rber the name of the stuff i used to use ill let you know. IBS is a pain in the bum (pun intended)...

Thanks CrazyBrit, Im glad someone sees what I am on about. I have been having so much grief, death threats insults etc from inlaws and now this, i am being ground down to a nervous wreck at the moment, not sleeping, shaking constantly. and i havent even done anything.!! :(

Well, things have now changed. I am leaving Slimming World. I cannot go to my class nor any others in the city as my SWC has been insulting and threatening me all night on Facebook. She has stated that she has reported me for being a benefit cheat, saying that I am working while claiming, which...

Im not going to take all the credit for the recipe as I found it on here but cant remember who it was that thought it up:o:o It is yummy, iv read that some people have used various Joe;s flavored sausages and chicken, or added (synned of course) stuffing into it...that would make it more like...

Well done on yet another great weight loss this week. x

I havent watched tonights yet (always watch my progs after online) but I too cannot stand Cheryl, ok so she seems like a nice person on XFactor, and I used to like her when she started in Girls Aloud but then she turned so slutty looking and so up herself that I cant stand her, she also used to...

Hey Im 27 from Coventry West mids

There could be loads of reasons why you have "gained" 3lbs in one day. It could be water weight, food weight, remember all that food you eat does weigh something. This is why generally they say that you should weigh first thing in the morning after youve been to the toilet and before you eat...

for red days i make mince and onion using oxo which is now free, and then pasta as HexB, I make chicken cake which involves slicing chicken breasts putting a layer in a pyrex dish, getting some syn free or low syn sausages (Joes, Morrisons, Bowyers etc) take the meat out of the sausages and...

there are actually more calories in frylight than vegetable oil. I was trying to explain to my mom how it is free and she checked calories and found out that gram for gram the fry light is higher cals lol

^^^ plus that soup would be free on Slimming World :P

Thanks I appreciate that. It is so frustrating. I have 11.5stone to lose and want it gone before I get married, granted its in a good few years but I really want to get it gone so that I can focus on toning up and focus on wedding plans grrr, sorry to rant just a bit wound up with it all atm...

Hi, if you look at my diary on here all my food diaries are on here I was doing a mix of Green and EE days but now a mix of red and green days mainly. I have stuck to plan 100% planned days in advance and marked red the foods that i have been eating. I havent eaten anything thats not on the...

Well done babe you are doing so well!! Im so very proud of you my little skinny minnie xxx

Thanks Louise, I am defo looking forward to getting it as I have been SOOOOOO lazy as of late! It will give me a boost i am hoping. The weight loss was a bit disappointing but as you say its better to lose less at a time to keep it off in the long run...just wish i could wake up one morning 11...

Thanks Marie, To be honest I lost over 2 stone before I started SW, then the first few weeks of starting I stuck to plan really well and was losing great, then I stopped sticking to plan and having the odd chinese, altho was still losing weight (I had a 10lb loss the week my partner and I split...

...

Hey Dave, thought Id finally comment as Iv been lurking on your diary for ages! Just wanted to say good luck for weigh in tomorrow...how much are you hoping for off this time? Im sure you will have a decent loss with the foods you eat and exercise you do! I will be joining you on the Wii Fit by...

Im 27, 5'10 weigh 21st 1lb and wear between 22-26 on top and 24-26 on bottom, depends on the makes and materials used!

Hey 1lb loss for me last Thursday, lets hope this weeks is better!! Kel xx

Hey all and well done on your losses, sorry i havent popped in sooner. I was weighed on Thursday and only lost 1lb so its 23lbs to go to target hmm not sure if im going to do it at this rate, but im about to order the Wii/Wii Fit Plus so hopefully that will help Kel xx

Hey Red, hows the diet/exercise going? Hope you are feeling much better now the man flu has gone Kel xx

Wii Fit woop ...

Yeah thatd be wicked babe cheers xx

Yeah I know what you mean, and yes thats him lol it slipped my mind! Hes ace. I sat and watched all his dvds through on Youtube!! xx

Its great that you were whistled at whether they knew you or not, always makes you feel better ;) Good to hear the lip is being good lol, defo hope it stays taht way and you are able to get it repierced soon enough! I tried toning tables at the gym I used to go to, used to use them every...

Lol bless ya, Im pretty much the same (when it goes down not up lol)!! xx

Aww well done you 2lbs is a great loss per week, the healthy way to do it! Kel xx

@ Beki thanks, I dont see myself as pretty but cheers =] The tattoo idea I liked but they were actually tattooed really badly as were all of my others! =[ Hope all goes well at the gym Red and you feel better soon xx

No problem :) A good way to start is the obvious semi to skimmed milk, white to wholemeal bread, sugar to sweetener, diet/low sugar drinks instead of full sugar ones. etc and then work your way from there. Also dont try to do too much exercise at once otherwise you will burn yourself out and...

Not a problem =] Kel xx

I think in alot of ways it is true! I have started eating breakfast although dont eat it till about 4pm lol, then the rest of my meals follow!..but then i dont go to sleep till about 3/4am and dont get up till 3/4pm lol Kel xx

I think its definately a great idea. It is a little boost to keep you going especially if put somewhere noticeable. I might do one and put it on the wall infront of you walking up our stairs, then not only myself but anyone that comes round and goes upstairs will see it. It may give me a boost...

Well done you thats brilliant...a great job well deserved!! :D:);):p:cool::jelous::family2::love::hug99::clap::gimi::happy036::giggle::character00238::talk017::::party0011::wee::banana dancer::party0019::party0038::party0049:

Hey welcome to the wonderful world of Minimins, good luck on your weight loss journey, you know where we all are if you need a chat, moan, or general rant!! Keep on keepin on Kel xx

Hey, well done for making the decision to change your eating habits, you have definately come to the right place for 24/7 support and a chance to make new friends with the same goal in mind! Have you decided to use a specific plan or are you just cutting down? Good luck Kel xx

Hey Dan and well done so far on your weight loss you have done amazingly well already....keep that up and your on your way!!! Slimming world in my opinion is a great lifestyle choice, I dont like the word "diet", It kind of implies that you are doing it temporarily, whereas a lifestyle choice...

Hey Red, Iv just sat and read your entire diary and I have to say very well done on the 16lbs loss so far you are doing great. I hope mine speeds up and I really need to get the motivation and energy to do some form of exercise sooner rather than later lol. Anyways, continue posting and I...

...

scab bran heheheh that cant taste too gd :P

Thats still really good, its still 2lbs a week which is a healthy way to do it xx

Thanks Ness...I dont feel like it yet though unfortunately:confused:

I think personally Slimming World is probably the best option as you can have unlimited amounts of alot of foods (free foods) and you also get your daily syns (although some people use weekly syns....dailyx7) Therefore you dont need to cut out your chocolate, crisps, icecream etc, just have them...

Wow 18lbs in one week is excellent...way to go you!! If I could lose that in a month I would be tres happy but in a week I can only wish! Obviously things will slow down from here, you can only wish that more than once lol. But good luck in the rest of your weight loss, keep posting and we...

Ok I am gona join this (if thats ok) pretty late I know, but I figure if I aim to lose 2lbs per week between now and Xmas then that will be 24lbs (nearly 2stone) so I am going to give it a bloody good go!! Keep on keepin on everyone Kel xx

Hey Well done for going at least and like you say 4.5lbs isnt too bad. Now all you need to do is start again tomorrow, stick to plan and focus on trying to get that back off again :) Kel xx

Hey Definately go to group! You have missed 2 weeks (unintentionally but) if you miss another then the likelyhood of you going back before Xmas is going to be very low. They say if you dont do something 3 times then you have broken your habit (eg exercise, group etc)!! Like someone else said...

Hey I joined earlier in the year but to be fair stopped using the site for a while, nothing to do with the site as its ace and so are the people. But now i am back so technically a newbie too. Also i am not very good when it comes to forums, i never know what to do, whether to start new threads...

Hey In our house, the kids eat one meal (they normally cook themselves now theyre older...9 and 11). My partner eats another, unless I make a SW cottage pie or similar and I eat another. I dont tend to plan for the week necessarily, I lie in bed at night and plan for the next day, write it...

scan bran is like a Ryvita type thing although its very hard and looks like chipboard lol. It tastes horrible on its own, is gorgeous with lemon curd on it and there are loads of savoury and sweet recipes u can use it in. Beware though because alot of consultants tell you that it helps or even...

Check the rudeness biatch!!!! :P;) Love ya really. Thought id have a nosey at your diary thingamabob and wow. I cant believe some of the stuff I read, but im not going to hang on the past, Im going to tell you that you are amazing, you have done so well and come so far already, you are a...

...

...

...

this post made me laugh...however you will probably be shocked to know that i love (obsessed with) scan bran with lemon curd on. Infact for the past 2 weeks i have eaten a whole pack a day (2HexB's or 5 syns) with 2tsp of lemon curd on each (totalling 20tsp at 10syns) . I stuck to plan 100% last...

Well done DontcallmeTracy on youe 12lbs loss, that is excellent. I too have ALOT to lose. I started at 25st7lbs and am now down to 21.2lbs although was 20st5lbs (had a bit of a gain recently oops) I am doing Slimming World (weigh in tomorrow) and aim to get to 10st by Jan2010 I hope. Anyways...

Hey can I join please. I am going to set mine as 6 only because things have been going a bit downhill as of late, but as it is a challenge I am going to try and get some walking in plus weights. I would like to hit 10lbs but will set it as 6 to be on the safe side :) btw I am on Slimming World...

...

...

...

...

I am guessing so it would prob just go like frozen icecream syrup type stuff, you know like the stuff that goes hard on icecream. But they are synned remember!

Thankyou BaysideJ, I am happy was really expecting a gain of between 3 or 5 pounds lol but got a shock! lets hope for something similar next week lol x

...

The toffee ones are the best frozen they really taste like icecream. The banana and custard ones freeze a bit odd but still taste ok. and the orange and dark choc ones are yummy. Remember tho that the cherry layered ones are not free but in fact 2 syns!

Well I lost 5.5lbs this week which Im happy with but it wont take me to my target by 1st July unless I somehow were to lose 8.5lbs next week lol plus my next weighin is the 2nd July (day before my bday lol)

I cant believe how well u are doing my love, congrats to u and I am sooo jealous, I wish I had your motivation!! I lost 5.5lbs this week :D was expecting to gain 3-5 lbs!! Loves ya well done xx

Have got this in the oven as i type, can't wait to try it. Havent been very meticulous over cutting all the fat off the bacon though, but its not going to make much difference considering the binge i had this week and last :P

Obviously not, some people take too much pleasure in making (trying to) other people unhappy!! Well done Kiira for getting to the 18st mark, you're doing really well, shame mine's not going so quick.....*****!!! <3 xxx:kissass::kissass:

Lol my reply to the troll must have looked really random now its been removed...Im not evil really lol

maybe some of us have got medical conditions and maybe some of us dont actually eat rubbish, hell maybe some of us were force fed to be the size we are now, i knmow that was my case. Just because u are a pig doesnt mean we all are. I know one thing you are and that is ignorant and cruel, and...

Bit late I know but I had a 3lbs loss on Thursday :D

Hi well i had a gain this week :( 1.5lbs, I had 2 naughty days where i ahd a chinese dinner and a maccy ds breakfast and also i did 20 hrs walking so some of it could have been muscle gain weight!! Am sticking to it 100% this week and even having the 5 a day scan bran too/

Lol arent u honoured haha xx

Yep, sussed it now, iv got profiles :D:D woop!!

In 12 months id love to lose maybe 100lbs i am 22.5lbs now so tht would get me to about 15.5st. I would also like to be able to shop in normal shops, not just be limited to evans, new look and catalogues. :D

Hey good luck all on the exercising. I have started walking, only started SW last week so only walked bout 4 times, even if its to the shop and bk 40-45 mins im hoping its some kind of exercise. I have just got a pedometer given free so gona start using that, including in the house!!

yeah but theres nothing stopping us from talking on here too lol, thats it iv hit 50 lol

Yeah thats fine by me, if you have msn, then take a look under my screen name on here ;) feel free to natter on there if u want

Good luck on the dieting, maybe think about starting something like SW or WW, at least that way you can eat plenty of food and not feel like you are depriving yourself by just having mainly shakes etc. Anyways whichever route you decide, I hope it works out for you. kel x

Well done Stacy thats amazing, how far have you got left to go ?

yeah defo. I am trying to build up my posts so i can actualy view profiles and be able to pm people!

yeah thats what i tried doing, only draw back is not beign able to use the site that way, but since i found out bout the divide by 20 thing its much easier, plus u can find the syn values/free foods/hex's etc off here or the net, and theres plenty of nice people to help on here. Btw this is my...

Hi, if you go to SW groups and have the weekly password you can check these things online. Also syns are generally worked out by dividing the calorie amount by 20 and that gives you the syn value. Eg if a choc bar was 300 cals it would be 15 syns hope that helps much love Kel xx

Hey Louie Lou. I have 12.5 stone to lose, I am currently 22.5st and target is 10 stone by beg 2012 as that is our provisional wedding date! I have only just started SW last week so first weighin is tomorrow night. How are you doing so far? Much love, Kel xxx

Hey just wanted to say congrats on your weight loss so far :D keep at it and the last few kgs will melt away eventually, I know how frustrating it can feel though, when youve done so well and the last few are just mocking you (so it feels!) good luck with it :D Much love Kel xxx

Well done lovely, that is an amazing weight loss. Is that from Jan 2009? or last year? Either way that is brilliant!! How far are you from your target now? Much love Kel xxx

I was just wondering, when you get your half stone/stone award etc, how do you get the pic of them on your signature? Kel x

okies cool thankies xx

thought id try just mash, cabbage, sprouts (chopped) onion, garlic, and egg mixed together and either just fried in fry light or shaped into patties and fried in frylight! maybe add some bacon or chicken for free on Extra easy or HexB

defo gonna try this. id been told about the scan bran but told it tasted like cardboard, maybe this way it will be edible!

that is defo going into my little book, started writing these recipes dwn in a book lol

defo gonna have to try this it looks divine, and my hubby is a meat freak so he will eat it with me. Just gonna have to go to Morrisons now, have to find out where it is as its bout hr and half walk from here (no car!!)

that looks yummy, i love kievs but they are so high on the cals/syns that i dont eat them. Defo gonna try this tho, well that is when i can find somewhere that sells quark!!

Oh yeah and I dont understand why mashing a banana would give it syns? am i being blonde@?

I am so going to try this, I have about 6 of the strawberry ones in the freezer and im not a yoghurt fan, except for Amore orange yoghurts which are divine!! (8.5syns per pot!!) i have about 20 in the fridge as they were 5 for £1 and alothough I can only have one a day, they are so worth it, hey...

mojomcl - I dont parboil or microwave mine either lol, i just leave skins on, cut up, spray with frylight and whack in the oven (obv on baking tray else bit of a mess!!)

Hi, how much water would you suggest using with the triangles? as i made a pasta dish using them as a sauce a few days back and only used a tiny bit of water and the sauce wasnt very cheesey at all, more like milk! I am hoping to try this recipe tho with the pasta as mentioned as it sounds...

Thanks, congrats on your weight loss, what are you aiming for this week? I have my first weighin tomorrow night, and hoping I lose at least 3lbs. I have started some walking, at least every other day even if just to shops and back (about 45 mins). We did 4.5hrs yday so hoping that will show in...

Hi yes I do, I tried to figure out how to PM you it but dont knwo how and also cant view profiles for some reason, not even my own, any ideas?i

Well I braved it to first week of SW!! my one yr old was a moody git all night, spent the whole time up and dwn with him. First weigh in I was 22st 7.5lbs, so thats what im starting the challenge with!

Well I was so naughty last night, I went to Co-op on the way back from smoking cessation group and bought chocolate, pringles, icecream and pop, i ate 3 choc bars 3 cans of 7up and a whole box of pringles!! thing is i wouldnt normally eat them so god knows why i did. Anyway the joining SW is...

See I tend to find I weigh myself more when I am doing well and losing as seeing the weight go down kind of inspires me to carry on :D

Thankyou RM07, I know all scales are different. After the WI I must make sure I don't go near mine lol. Must break that habit!!

Well of to join SW tomorrow night (seeing the nurse in an hour or so to get patches to quit the smoking!). I am nervous but excited to find out my starting weight, would be nice for their scales to tell me I am less than mine say lol. I also need to stop myself doing daily WI's at home!! Well...

Hi and very well done for your weight loss, its a great start. !-2lbs a week is a very sensible way of losing weight as it didnt come on over night so isnt going to come off overnight either. If you go to TickerFactory and create a ticker, Copy the BBCode. Go to User CP on Minimins and Edit...

I know this may be a bit of a blonde question but when it says 1 syn per tbsp, are tbsp the ones you eat with or the bigger serving spoons? i always thought they were the ones you ate with but peopl ehave told me differently!!

I know this is free apart from the Hexa for the cheese but I just wanted to check if it was free on green or red, i am guessing red but wanted to double check. Also what could you serve it with on a red day and what would it be on a green day? thanks. much love kelx xx
