    Mac n Cheese with Low Low?

    I just made the Cheat's Mac n Cheese from the SW website and it was absolutely disgusting. But a friend told me there is an excellent recipe with Low Low cheese. I have looked everywhere and can't find it. Does anyone on Minimins know it and could you please share?

    think SW maybe doesn't work for me! Help please!

    I lost 2 stones 2 years ago on SW a pound a week but then my weight loss stopped totally with about another 2 or 3 stone still to go. Kept on it for about 6 months very strictly and lost no more. I have basically kept most of that weight off but started again last week by joining online and...

    Hi all, it is nice to have similar people starting at the same time. I have had a good day today although I always eat loads and wonder if I can really lose weight. So far I haven't lost but my weigh in is Monday so I will see. good luck to us all x

    Returning (again!)

    Hi Michelle, I just wrote you a big post and I don't know where it went! Anyway, I am from just outside Glasgow.

    Hi mdymond, I joined online yesterday too. I have probably exactly the same to lose as you. I would like to be 9 1/2 or 10 stone and have about 3 - 4 stones to get there. I am 52 and have been on SW twice before and lost about 2 stones each time. I live with my hubby 40 -toyboy! and my son...

    Been on diet 5 days and no weight loss!!!

    Hi Nicola, have you lost any weight yet? I'm starting again but not having much success. I did it years ago and the weight flew off, Sometimes I think it doesn't work second time round. Is that it maybe?

    Thanks texty and holly's nan. I only use my milk as a splash and didn't really think that would make any difference. So I've done that from the beginning. Also I sometimes use all my syns and sometimes slightly more - never more than 15 though but sometimes, often, I don't use them all but...

    portion reduction after losing some weight?

    I'd love to be able to continue eating my massive portions but as my weight loss has stopped for 6 weeks, I think I need to cut down. This is the hard part for me. Ceebee, I'm reading a book called the Headspace Diet and it's all about mindful eating so hopefully it will work. I also did the...

    portion reduction after losing some weight?

    Has anyone had to reduce their portion sizes after losing some weight? I've lost 2 stones and stopped losing even though I've another 3 still to lose, wondering if it was because me body needs less food now than it did. Has anybody else had to do this?

    Thanks everyone. Yes I could cry too as it is so disheartneing but it is encouraging to know that this has happened to some of you and when you mix it up it works again. Going to really chop my portions this week, then a week of red and then green to see what, if anything works. Thanks folks x

    Egg fried rice & curry sauce - EE

    building immunity to weight loss

    Thanks for advice. That makes a lot of sense to me. Before I did Atkins and was very successful but it just stopped working and even after I put all the weight back on I still couldn't lose on it. SW is very varied right enough so it makes sense that that shouldn't happen.

    Just wondering - a bit randomly - what would happen if one of these ppl at my work who eat a cuppa soup and an apple for their lunch went on SW ? I eat loads compared to them and I'm losing weight and they're not. Would they gain weight by eating so much more?

  87. B

    more than just portion and calorie control?

    yeah, that makes sense; I never feel like eating rubbish now as I've always had enough and so never eat between meals except for fruit. On other lc diets I'd probably be very hungry and wouldn't keep it up for long.
  88. B

    more than just portion and calorie control?

    People say that the 1/3 superfree on Extra Easy is just about portion control and restricting calories. I think there must be more to it than that though as I have tried lots of low calorie diets and they've not really worked. EE works far better for me and I still have big portions. Does...

    60g of smash?

    Just checked with my consultant who says they have to be syned if eaten as snack but still don't get it as all ingredients are actually free and if I have it with SF fruit surely that's just what I would eat for a meal. I think maybe I am missing the whole point, doh! please clarify: can I...

    60g of smash?

    my consultant obviously thinks it is ok but are you saying the best way is to snack only on SF. That is what I have done so far to be honest but because it is on website along with other desserts I thought I could have it for pudding with fruit. I honestly don't get it. I'm totally c onfused...
  110. B

    60g of smash?

    It is on their website. so are you saying that we can't eat any free foods that aren't in a meal. I thought I could eat free as long as i had superfree.

  111. B

    60g of smash?

    If that's the case I'm doing everything wrong then and so are the rest of my group. I'd better speak to the consultant
  112. B

    60g of smash?

    They did! They have also published scan bran cakes. also if I eat it with SF fruit then surely that is alright. My consultant brought it in to group.

    Scan bran????

    6 scan bran is heb. They taste like cardboard but there are a lot of recipes with them on SW website including onion bhajis and fudge cake! I just made a lovely cake with smash so might try the scan bran recipes too
  115. B

    60g of smash?

    It is only 2 1/2 syns. It is made with sweetener, separated eggs and Muller light and it is lovely. The only syn item is the 60g of Smash for the whole cake. You could easy have it with some superfree fruit!
  116. B

    60g of smash?

    they also like the smash pizza but I would imagine it would be vile. The cake is lovely but don't like the sweetener after taste that I've just realised after my last post when I'd just eaten it lol!

    thanks Shelly, yes I know it is syns but heard people at my class raving about it. Also I can't find my scales that's why I had to guess. Just made it and it really is lovely. The whole cake is 2 1/2 syns and it makes about 5 or 6 slices so well worth it.

    Moving over from Atkins

    Hi, I did Atkins years ago and lost about 4 stones but it stopped working and eventually I gave up and have since piled the weight back on. I did enjoy Atkins but SW is much easier and the Extra Easy is amazing. It is honestly not at all complicated as all you do is make sure you have 1/3 veg...

    how much do you have to lose?

    Just as a matter of interest how much do you have to lose? how much have you lost already? how long has it taken you so far? I've about 5 stone to lose, I've lost 8lbs in 5 weeks. Loads to go but I'm enjoying plan.

    Will be trying those chicken nuggets. You are all doing amazing! I'm losing slowly but loving every minute of it. Was out for dinner last night at teppanyaki restaurant and, without trying, kept to the plan. This really is the best way to eat.

    Soooo Frustrated!!!

    that's rubbish for you and very frustrating. I hope you work it out and the plan starts working for you x
  129. B

    do people with big losses eat little portions?

    I take the free and superfree to the max and eat a lot. To be honest, it is probably because I can do this on SW that I am managing to stick to it. But I hear about all those folk losing 5lb a week etc and wonder if they are hardly eating. I still worry that I eat too much on the plan.
  130. B

    Bananas!!

    well I only lost one lb tonight and had no bananas so my earlier theory isn't correct!

    out for dinner - have i totally blown it?

    me too. But I had been losing one pound a week and eating bananas every day. Last week didn't have any, or very few and lost 4 1/2 lbs at class. Don't know if this was a coincidence. Will test it out again - a few weeks eating them and then a week without and compare my losses and I'll re post here

    superfree at breakfast

    My counsellor told me that I don't need superfree if I'm having my HEA and HEB at the same time. So I have a slice of brown bread and a chees slice for my breakfast and only one piece of fruit. Does anyone else know if this is ok? I've not heard anybody else say this.

    Hypnotherapy?

    I've still been eating most things but far far less. Also I've had nothing sweet and no desire for it. I have to say it seems amazing so far as I've lost my obsession for food but too early to tell if there will be weight loss results. Will keep posting.

    The Gastric MIND band

    Hi Lynn, well CD didn't work for me because I couldn't stick to it and it made me feel very depressed. I don't know if this will be a success yet and get me thin but something powerful has already happened so I'm very hopeful. Give it a go and let me know how you get on xxx

    Hypnotherapy works!

    great to hear this Rachel as I've just had two sessions and I can say for the first time in about 40 years I've felt this way about food. It's exactly as you say and all my obsession has gone although I'm still enjoying what I eat I just can't be bothered eating more than I need! Here's hoping I...

    The Gastric MIND band

    Hi Lynn, I have just been to hypnotherapist last week after meeting someone who had lost 4 and a half stones. I have been twice with one more session to go and already I have halved my eating; it is amazing. I have only paid £30 a session. I have not thought about chocolate in a week and I have...

    long-term success

    I am unsure about the long-term success of VLCDs but people say LL is successful because of the CBT. Does anyone know the success rates?:confused:

    Hypnotherapy?

    I've just been to a hypnotherapist for weight loss and I was wondering if anyone else had tried this. If so, I would love to hear your experiences as this is very new territory for me. It's only been 2 days for me so still too early to tell if it's successful but I'm not eating anywhere near as...

    How to cope Christmas and New Year's ?

    Hi, based on my experience and the people who started diet with me, taking a break is fatal. I never got back on it and I was doing really well! Just to warn you. Gooed luck whatever you decide.

    ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

    Well I've just finished day 2 of SS and really really hoping I can keep going for 5 or 6 weeks til I go my holidays. Although I've failed so many times this past year that I'm not counting my chickens. But I would love to get 1 and half stone off by 12th July- is that possible? Yes, if I...

    out of date tetras?

    Hi Sarah Lou, great to hear from you too. I will try to stick to this but realistically know that I've failed so many times before but 'one day at a time' I've finished day 2. What have your losses been? How are you keeping? And what's the weather like in beautiful Torquay! I'd love that! x

    out of date tetras?

    Thanks for that, I'll try and if I can stick to this then I'll buy more but just not wanting to waste money if I'm not going to stick to it.

    out of date tetras?

    I know you are not supposed to take anything past its sell by date but I was just wondering if any of you have tried out of date tetras and if they were ok. You see I've failed so many times on this diet that I don't wnat to pay money for new ones until I know I'm on this properly.

    Hi everyone, I've been trying to diet for about a year, unsuccessfully. I did CD this time last year and lost 2 stone in 6 weeks but have since gained it back.

    Dukan Diet

    Hi everyone, glad to see more people joining us. And welcome. It is so much easier to do something like this with a group for support. In fact all the addiction services claim it is the only possible way! I've just finished day 5 of attack phase. It was hard but I think I've lost about 3 or...

    Hi Zoe, brilliant about te magazine. I'm shy about things like that but you've achieved so much you deserve to be recognised for it. Let us know more about it. Always a new diet for me and I can't stick to any of them. Day 4 of this one and hating it! Maybe I should just accept that I'm fat.

    Dukan Diet

    Hi Clare, it's easy to start but you just need to make sure you buy the oatbran as I tried it first without that but it makes a huge difference. Good luck for when you start and join us and we'll team up. x

    Dukan Diet

    Thanks Irish mum, these sound good, esp the fish chowder. Variety is actually the spice of life when dieting isn't it? Cos when I get bored I cheat. Have you started yet? I have done Atkins in the past but so far this is easier because of the oatbran, don't know if I'm losing yet though but...

    Hi folks, Well guess what, I've found yet another fad diet to try!!! I'm always hoping for the miracle cure. This is the Dukan Diet, you buy the book from Amazon but only on day 2 but very easy so far. Don't know what the weightlosses will be like though but meant to be the same as CD. Will...

    Dukan Diet

    Hi people, The oatbran galette is a mixture of oatbran, fromage frais and egg, fried like an omelette. I put loads of roast beef in mine today and had it for lunch and it is hugely filling and I'm a big eater! I have to say although I'm only on day 2 I'm finding it really easy because of the...

    Dukan Diet

    Hi Shanny and Aaleigha, I can't do CD as it actually gives me depression! But I love its results. I did it last year for 6 weeks and lost 2 stone but have regained it all. Good luck to you, it works. Well I stuck to Dukan today and it was very easy because you get this oatbran gallete which...

    Hi, I was thinking of giving this a go. Tried everything else. I've read the book; it looks difficult to do but the results should be good. Does anyone else fancy joining me?
