lol well done! You obviously had a better week than you thought you'd had! The thing with SW is that, if you follow plan it WILL come off. Some faster than others, and sometimes you'll find you lose when you feel you shouldn't - and on occasions you might gain though you wonder why! Within a...

I'm a coach driver so if I go away for the day it can be hard as no access to microwave etc. I find on journeys like that, Ryvita and a tub of philly works well. sometimes I take salad but tbh I can't really be bothered. I'll often take a savoury phily and the chocolate one so I'll have a choc...

I was driving a school bus last week, and one of the kids yelled 'women shouldn't drive buses, especially when you're a fat ginger whore'. it actually made me lol a little because 1. I'm not really fat anymore, i'm just squidgy. 2, I'm not ginger, but would LOVE ginger hair! and 3. I'm...

I have a bar of chocolate every single day! And my weight loss is doing ok!! I use no syns during the day, and use some during my evening meal, and the rest on my dessert! Cadburys creme egg is 9 syns and TOTALLY so worth it! Couldn't cope without my cadburys hit :)

No weigh in this week!

I lost 1lb this week. The right direction I suppose! Although I'm now 11stone 13lbs woohoo lol

Hey well done! Its such a big thing isn't it! I've been hovering at 12.0ish for a while and keep hoping to get into the 11s but its not happening lol.. Struggled with lunch today - savoury rice and a banana didn't quite hit the spot, so I had a cadbury twirl minature (6 syns) which felt so...

I lost 2.5 lbs last week but I feel like my weight loss is starting to get harder, its getting easier planning the meals but I'm finding that eating the same stuff every week affects my weight loss. Need to mix it up!

Don't worry, get back on it! I had a gain at group last night and I was pretty gutted. I wallowed in my sorrows with a KFC and a piece of toblerone (ok so not the way I should have gone) but I needed it.. I felt I deserved it lol. Today I'm back on it, and I'm going to lose the gain and more...

Just weighed in. I've put on 1.5lbs this week. Im really angry with myself but Iknow I've gone about it all the wrong way. I went out for my daughters birthday and enjoyed dessert etc, then had a chinese the next night. I knew it wasn't good so I was so strict the rest of the week, I...

I was 12st 1lb last week... this week jumped up to 12st 2.5lbs. Gutted :(((

I still get to have all the yummy stuff I want, it just gives me the control. Its teaching me to make more sensible choices without making me feel deprived, because now I understand what I'm eating better.

I use all 15 normally, otherwise there is no way I would stick to the plan. I get such cravings for chocolate! I also flexisyn a lot, so I'll have less syns in the week and use most of them at the weekend, because that fits in well with my life. and whilst I'm still losing every week its...

Thats what I used to do lol.. my job required me to 'look the part' and I ate very daintily, salads and the like. I was ashamed to eat in front of people. But I would have had three rounds of toast at breakfast time lol..and would go home and have a kebab :D

If you are having weetabix then something like chop up a banana or apple or whatever you like.. fruit classes as your 1/3. I quite often have a slice of melon with or for my breakfast. I think they tend to start people off on the EE plan now as it really is very easy. And when your weight...

super speed soup... I lost 3lbs over Xmas week and its given me a boost to want to carry on lol x

Hey welcome back then! And congratulations on your little one :) you say "fingers crossed that I can carry on" which is totally the wrong mindset lol! This is a lifetime change, not a diet so stop thinking of it that way. You've done it before and you can do it again x

Yup :)

Well done honey, the 12 week countdown is a great motivator! Are you going to group too? I found that being weighed in each week helps so much... and also, if you can stick to the first week it gets easier. Its difficult when you start out and can't seem to figure out what to eat lol.. but...

Well done Sam, Hoping to see you there soon! I managed to lose 3lbs over Xmas (WI was monday),and that gave my my 1.5stone and my club 10 :D Now I weigh 12st 1lb Ineed to concentrate on getting into the 11s! won't be long :D Even better now hubby has gone to work and he won't be eating...

I think realistically you need to get rid of any christmas yummies that are tempting you, make a weekly plan - shop according only to plan and then write yourself a food diary. Right back to basics. That first week wasn't easy, so its bound to be a strugggle to get back on, but write...

Creamy curry all the way for me - and it seems to really boost my weight loss when Ihave it too - its the cauliflower one x

I lost 3lbs. Lol... that was lucky :D

If anyone else adds themselves - this is the most up to date list please copy and paste from here nothing prior - thanks *punk*~*star** - 11 (0lbs lost 11lb to go) Abbysmom - 7lb (0lbs lost 7lb to go) Angwass - 5lb (0lbs lost 5lb to go) Babytreetrunk - 7lbs (0lbs lost 7lbs to go) bc201...

I lost 3lbs :p

Its hard having the family down over this time! There have been a lot of buffet style eating, which is difficult when there is no salad! Other people don't care that you are dieting, nor know what to feed you anyway. I had one family event that I didn't eat at which was awful and another...

Hello honey and welcome to SW :) I also started due to the dreaded question. One of my customers at work asked me when I was due :cry: I've never cried so hard in my life tbh.. but it brought me here and I joined group too to keep me on track. I've lost a stone and a half in six weeks, I'm...

The curry I mentioned here: http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/256137-creamy-curry-superfree.html Honestly this curry nearly always gets me a loss, or boosts my loss if my week hasn't been great. I've got non SW members of the family that actually request this (and some of them...

I was looking for something to aim towards too so this sounds great! I'm not sure about reaching target, I've about 2.5 stone to lose but I'll know as I get closer lol..but should be close x

The superfree curry (made with cauliflower) always gives me a boost for the week... and then if I have some soup and lots of melon I'm normally guaranteed a good loss, even if I slip slightly in the week.

I used to work for one of the companies who has orlistat. I was involved in the launch of Alli (the over the counter brand of orlistat) and have also done some work with Xenical, doing the education with health care professionals. I won't get involved in the debate here, but please do feel...

i'd like to aim high for Jan am going to go for a 10lbs loss which would be really great x

I'm hoping mine won't be too bad as I've been flexisynning. Really hoping for a small loss or no change :o)

You need to remember how good those first two weeks were - how 'easy' this plan is and how much it works, and any gain (if any) will come off just as easily. The thing with a gain is you need to learn to just accept it as a blip - and enjoy those few days off - dont' feel guilty and just get...

WI on Xmas eve I had lost 2lbs... which is great but didn't get my club 10...tbh I'm not surprised there was a blip or two lol x so i'm now down to 12st 4lbs. Can't wait to get my club 10 and then get down to the 11s. I honestly dont remember ever being in the 11s so I'm really excited, it...

I felt like Xmas day yesterday went well, we had SW roasties, SW veggies and SW mash. (family none the wiser!) The turkey crown was pre basted so I've no idea if that counts.. and the gravy and the stuffing were not SW friendly.. oh and little pigs in blankets. I enjoyed a bacon sarnie at...

another 2lbs off... that was lucky!

I will be flexisynning over Xmas in an attempt to stay on plan. I still hope to lose between my WIs on Xmas eve and NY eve! Its not the food that will get me, its the alcohol. And tbh after last weekend I'm not planning on any more until the new year my poor liver needs a rest! x

Had a blip yesterday which I'm hoping won't affect me too much in WI this morning. Cheese scones argh! lol.. well my stomach is paying for it this morning.. I can't believe the affect that eating the wrong types of food has on my stomach now. I'm going to be on plan 100% today.. no excuses!

I was 12stone 6 at last WI, so i'm working really hard this week to try and get a 3lbs loss to get my club10! won't be long! eek x

Feeling great with this week so far, I will be weighed on Xmas eve as normal so hopefully I will have another loss which will help keep me on track during the festive week! I'm off for a chinese tonight, and Im REALLY looking forward to it. I'm planning on just ordering what I fancy tonight...

Wow well done on your acheivements so far! Its such a fantastic feeling to finally have those compliments isn't it, to have people tell you that you look great. Have a great Xmas xxx

Christmas has started in this house - bring on the baileys! Love flexisynning lol x

Thanks for your replies. A lot of you have gone for the 'healthy BMI' goal, which would put me at about 10stone 2lbs at the top end of healthy. I suppose its not too far away as I'm only half a stone away from the 11s (psychology at work here lol).. Well done everyone :D

Honestly I can't tell you how happy I am, I'd like to share. I've managed to get comfortably into a size 16 - its been about seven years since I last got into that, but the biggest thing about getting into a 16 is that I'm now in 'normal shop' sizes. I had some winter leggings and a jumper...

This week has gone ok, I always feel so guilty using 'flexisynning' but it is working. I had a day out xmas shopping yesterday and I was really good ordering grilled chicken skewers which were yummy.. but I drank way to much wine on so little food. Should be more careful to eat if i'm drinking...

Go for it and enjoy it! Just go and enjoy your xmas meal - do you do flexisynning? thats how I'm getting through my Xmas parties at the moment and still having a loss. I had four bottles of wine throughout the week last week and went out for an Indian meal... and still lost 2lbs using...

I'm in! Will set my target after my New years eve weigh in xxx

My WI day is a Monday, so we will be weighing in as usual on Xmas eve - and then on New Years Eve, so I'm hoping that getting weighed as usual will keep me roughly on track.

I was feeling naughty this morning, craving bread you know? So I made a sw brekky of a whole tin of chopped tomatoes 4 fat removed bacon loads of mushrooms and onion two fried eggs allllll free om nom nom gotta love SW!

I went to an Xmas party this week which I had a new outfit for and I fit comfortably into my 16s. So very happy its going the right direction for me at the moment! I've discovered quark too so now need some yummy dessert recipes :)

I'm interesting to hear how you decided on what your target weight should be. Or whether you just did step at a time? I've NEVER been less than 12 stone since I was a child.. so I've not got a clue where I should really be heading for. I was very keen to lose the first stone, which I've...

superspeed soup does this to me! And doesn't everybody around me know about it.... It doesn't sound like a 'bad day' as your thread title suggests - you stuck to plan and thats what its all about x

Two weeks! Which kind of sucks seeing as I love to flexi syn and I go on 105 syns a week rather than 15 a day - if I have lots left at the weekend and eat something high in fat (I still lose!) it makes me bloated and windy :eek: I've only been on SW for 4 1/2 weeks now so I'm hoping that I...

Wow good luck, thats amzing loss for three weeks!

I will continue to enjoy flexisyns. I'm doing it every week now, just counting down my 105syns. Luckily I'm doing Xmas dinner myself so it will be easy to make sensible decisions on Xmas day. I've asked family not to buy me chocolate for Xmas. Boxing day there will be a buffet which I will...

I found this just as nice cold the day after for my lunch! So making it again tonight lol x

Hi Donna, welcome to SW! have you joined a group or doing it from home? Nice to have you here with us anyway :D I've had another decent week - 2.5 lbs off and I got my 1stone award which is great - but what has really made the difference is that I've fit into a size 16... its been a long...

I've done it! I'd lost 7lbs when I joined this thread and wanted to get my 1 stone award by Xmas. Flying ahead here! Got my stone award yesterday woop x

I know how you feel I did this on Sunday - had a meal out - didn't go nuts but used my flexisyns for the whole week in one go. Boy did I pay for it on Sunday evening and Monday morning! eurgh!

Going to a Chinese for a party. Gonna have chicken in black bean sauce with boiled rice. I've eaten next to nothing all day so might have a starter too, I can spare the syns :) And i'm driving so won't be using any of my syns on beer :)

I stay most weeks but sometimes can't depending on my kids etc. I like the members and consultant and that helps - I feel like they really are just helping each other. However if your consultant is slating people publicly then really that is not on - she shouldn't be acting like that and if...

This week i've mostly been swearing at the stupid Slimming World website. Its a great idea but their syns tool just doesn't work. How can it bring nothing up when you type in 'white bread'? How is this week going for you? I've struggled a bit this week tbh. I think I need to make more of...

Thats AmAzInG! Really well done to you xxx

I'm having a good week so far! hoping for that stone award! eek!

I go alone - ive also found it a big difference to last time I went with hubby - and never spoke to anyone. Now i'm on my own i've made loads of friends and I love it! nearly 3 stone is a lot to lose, even if it has taken you over a year. Your weight is heading the right direction for you...

Yes I have this problem! I can't drink a glass of wine anymore I need the bottle. I order a pizza I eat the lot. I have a curly wurly I need the whole box lol... so I just don't bother anymore. Oh gosh i'd kill for a white bread sandwich right now lol

tonight is lean gammon steak with SW chips and mini corns & pea in pods. All free. And then I'm making some free curry sauce to dunk the chips in. Hubby will have a fried egg but I won't bother because I'm slathering it in curry sauce mmmmm! ooh i could fancy mushy peas too. God I'm such a...

whoop finally in the 12's!! Last weeks WI I was 13st0, and yesterday was weighed in at 12st11lbs. Very happy! When I get to 12st8.5 I will get my stone award, and 12st3lbs puts me at club 10. So looking forward to this one, hopefully Xmas won't slow me down! Hello everyone!!!

you've gained 7.5lbs in 18 weeks of pregnancy? Thats not bad going if so! Its not just baby weight remember - theres the placenta and all that fluid. Its natural that you will put on a little weight, so don't be disheartened. Eat healthily for your baby and remember how much you don't want...

I'm 11.5lbs down and nobody has noticed yet. My clothes are hanging off me though so I don't think it will b long before people notice.. I hope! Its only one dress size i've lost though, but I'd really expect people to notice by the time i've lost another... am I gonna be disappointed? lol x

Hey welcome back! Its that time of year hey :/ I've weighed in today and managed to get another 3lbs off. So thats 11.5 off in three weeks. The stone should be in reach for next week if I can be really good! Hope you're doing ok - I've finally got into the 12's eek x

Another 3lbs off for me! Thats 11.5lbs in three weeks. Gonna get the stone I was after.. 2.5lbs left to go! Bring on the size 16s lol... be nice when i'm in a 14 but 16 will do lol

Wow thats a FANTASTIC acheivement - I bet you are so proud of yourself! Well Done!!!

hard boiled eggs are a bit of a saver for me - as they are quite filling. Also I save my healthy extra b and have a HiFi bar - they do yummy chocolate and peanut ones x

Just remember why you started at SW! There must be a reason why you started, and the goal you had in mind when you started off? If you leave SW chances are you will go back to the way you were - do you want that? I think with the binge on WI - rather than just eat everything without limits...

What I really fancy today is some white bread - maybe a toastie! So will syn it - I've been struggling to use my syns this week so it won't do any harm I'm sure. Need to go and find out the syns!

Thats great you've found the motivation to get back on it! Sometimes you just need a shove like that, it was similar for me. Definately get to class if you can - if you are paying to join SW why not go straight to class? i've only been on SW 2 and a half weeks now, but the classes are...

wow a size 10! I don't think I've ever been a ten :D I can't wait to get into a 14, and I deffo feel that its acheivable! But I'd LOVE to get back into a 12, I'll be a very very happy bunny then! I'm already noticing changes in my body. My face too! I went to a family occasion last week and...

home made tomato & basil soup. I've torn up a chicken breast and chucked that in too. A rasberry & cranberry muller light and a Hifi!

I work shifts - I'm a coach driver! I take a flask of soup with me, the home made type that is normally packed with chunks of meat and potatos so feels more like I'm having stew than soup, and is very filling so I don't crave anything to dunk! I also will make porridge to take with me...

its great that your back - your right that 'somebody else' weighing you really seems to spur you on. I always think what does it matter if I put half a pound on? But because I'm in group, I want that half pound to be a loss every single week! Good luck being back on plan x

Thats great! Really well done - people don't lose 6.5lbs without trying very hard so thats great! Keep it up and you'll have your 1/2 stone award next week :D

Lucee - I posted a thread a week or so back called 'breakfast or no breakfast' and I got some good replies you should have a look! I think you are probably eating at your body's 'breakfast time' anyway lol... Well on my way to losing that stone now. 8.5 lbs down in the last two weeks and only...

:cry:Wheres my slimming buddy gone :cry:

I've been thinking about this.. and as this year is my first christmas at home cooked by me, I'm going to do as much SW style as possible. I've had lots of ideas for yummy recipes! I don't go out on NYE so that isn't a problem. But Boxing day and new years day is likely to be buffet style...

I read through it in group and it looked great - some really great ideas for buffets and cocktails. x

Wow you are looking amazing! Keep it up - you've left me inspired :)

I'm 30 next year too, although I've got a few months extra than you! I don't know what I'm hoping to lose either, mini-step at a time! My initial goal is to lose 1st by Christmas (only 5.5lbs to go), and then to get to my club 10, which is only 5.5lbs past that. Not sure after that but I'd...

Hello and welcome! Don't forget to set yourself mini-goals too, instead of thinking that your total goal is 5st. I haven't even set my final goal yet its just mini step at a time x The Extra Easy plan really is simple, so if you have any questions do feel free to ask - and enjoy all that free...

Hiya, the inspirational photos are what made me go and join my local group :) I've now lost 8.5lbs in two weeks and feeling great for it x

I just missed joining you lot today lol... I am 13.0 lol... ah well I've lsot 8.5lbs in just two weeks so I know I'll be with you all next week x

woohoo got my 1/2 stone award today! Now my goal to get my stone award before Xmas (which is why I joined the half stone before Xmas because I've got half a stone to go lol). Actually I'm down 8.5lbs in total so another 5.5 lbs to go. Very do-able! arrghhh want it quicker than this!

I GOT -3.5LBS WOOHOO thats a total loss of 8.5lbs in two weeks! And SOTW and SOTM too :) Good stuff need to keep it up... only 5.5lbs to go till I get my stone! which I wanted by Xmas... so really do-able now x

WI day today! My goal is to be 12st 8 1/2 by 17th December and I'm eek as I fell off the wagon yesterday lol. My last WI was 13st 3.5lbs. eeeek! Bring on those pound losses for Xmas! I can't believe the difference in my figure in less than half a stone!

PS I had 34 syns today. Don't know how I feel about that lol cos WI is tomorrow :o

At least if you are feeling guilty then its likely you'll get back on track now x

34 syns today. pah.

I really do find it an easy plan - its just so simple! I'm not very good at cooking either so it works really well for me as I can stilll have things like pasta, or jacket potatos. Also jars of sauces providing I syn them x

Hi Kelly! I joined a SW group two weeks ago and i've never felt better, you will do great! I also have had several failed attempts at WW and hated feeling hungry - which is why SW is so great for foodies! Make sure you plan your meals in advance and you will do fine x

I love Slimming World because it works! I've failed at WW before and felt like I was starving myself - SW feels like a healthy living plan that you really can follow for life. I like that I can still have the treats like I did before. I still have a chinese and a bottle of wine once a week -...

Success doesn't always show in weight loss it can be in other ways - how do you feel? If you are eating healthily you probably feel great! Look at how far you've come, I can't wait to lose two stone! I also buy frylight at asda x

oh I SO know what you mean! theres nothing I want more than a KFC and a big bar of Galaxy lol!

Eek weekends are so hard! get back on it today - today is a new day!

I think it would be very judgmental to suggest any consultant is 'too fat' to do her job. You don't always know what road they've been on before they got to that size 24 or30...whatever. I've just joined with the thought I'm probably going to set target as a size 14 - which will still leave...

ooh I'd like to join please? I joined SW two weeks ago with a mini goal of a stone before Xmas (before 17th December weigh in). I have my second weigh in tomorrow where I'm hoping to have lost 2lbs this week for my half stone award :) which woulld put me 7lbs to go. If i've lost more or less...

Hello welcome! Are you going to be joining group? I've been thinking about joining for aaaages like you and I went ahead two weeks ago - I love going to group! I'm hoping at my second weigh in tomorrow I am going to get my half stone award - eek! What made me rejoin was the pictures of me AS...

hmm Saturday was wierd for me - felt bad but I don't think I went over my syns either{ Breakfast: Nothing, Coffee. Lunch: Bacon sandwich on two slices white bread :confused: Tea: nothing 10pm: half a cup of heinz tomato soup, one single piece of yorkie (damn husband waving it at me I nearly bit...

Does anybody know what the syn value is for chicken in cantonese sauce please?

Sorry the sweet chilli noodles were way different to what I'd thought lol.. soz! I wasn't suggesting the potatoes at Wetherspoons were necessarily deep fried - I was suggesting that you need to ask the question if you see ' jacket', because some places do. I had tea at my mums last night, she...

Had a mad day today, the roads in Wales flooded really bad and I ended up queueing for hours to get back home. So got home at 7.30pm STARVING and being good, I asked my husband to not allow me in the kitchen whilst he makes dinner lol.. and he brought me a slice of pineappleand a coffee to stop...

It doesn't have any 's' or 'ss' next to it just a 'f' hth x

Hi there! A rough rule of thumb is 20 calories per syn. Of course this doesn't apply to everything as some foods are free. And you dont need to count calories in free foods. With the above, it mentions yellow rice. I have no idea if that is boiled? because if it is its free. I enjoy...

ours also did the christmas shopping talk, about where we would go for a coffee - so we discussed the syns at Costa. Wow surprising! Sounds like most are doing the similar chats but it was an eye opener :)

A big salad today with Salmon. Was yum!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking a bit as am hoping to join you all soon! I was 13stone 3 1/2 on Mondays WI and am hoping in the next week or two I'll be in the 12's! Eep! I can't wait to get in the 11's, and hopefully fit a size 14 trousers lol x

Aw Shellz! Don't worry that you had a twix for goodness sake! If you are strong enough to pick yourself up and carry on after something like that, then you are strong enough to lose that stone before Xmas. I lost 5lbs last week despite eating enough for two over the weekend... I tried the...

I'm so pleased I've stopped craving the rubbish though, and I'm glad it only took a week! It was horrible, and it seems as though its not such a bad thing if I dont use my syns for a few days. Thanks everyone! :o)

just realised i didn't have my HEXB today either :/

I started SW last Monday and have lost 5lbs last week :) Well last week was AWFUL I was craving sugar and chocolate big time, but I decided to storm through it as I knew if I had one piece of choc I'd eat the entire bar, and pack and possibly go back for more :eek: so I didn't. I was hungry...

omg chocolate philly! like really low cal choc cheesecake in a tub - lush! gonna dunk something in it tomoz lol.. I think its something like 3.5 syns per 25g x

hard boiled eggs are great for hunger pangs! And chicken/ham is always in the fridge too. If I'm not really hungry but just peckish I try to talk myself out of it, have a glass of water or a piece of fruit or a yoghurt. Mid afternoon is when I start feeling hungry... eggs are great!

Have you only just started exercise? Or do you normally do less than you did this week? Because when you make a change and up your exercise, your body starts to retain water and it takes around a week for it to fall back to normality. Its REALLY really normal for people to make a gain when...

Good luck being back on it! You know you can do it :)

My husband wont touch fruit or veg, literally! So I've been dealing with his fussiness now for years lol... I find he can eat veg so long as its 'blitzed' and he is always quite surprised when i tell him what is in things as he doesn't realise. Do you think if you blitz it that you might eat...

red

had my first weigh in and lost 5lbs! Was quite surprised to say the least. Hope I can keep it up.. or at least half of that lol

Evening! Weigh in went well! I weighed in at 13st 3.5lbs thats a loss of 5lbs this week! Beginners luck I'm sure so back on it properly today. Today went like this: No breakfast (weigh in is at 9.30 = no brekky lol - I had no brekky last Monday either) Lunch = HEB slice wholemeal, 3 eggs...

mmm this was yummy! Would deffo recommend, I cooked a little extra so my husband can have some cold with his pasta for lunch tomoz too!

Well done for getting up and brushing yourself off! Its important to go to group if you gain though - everyone else will support you through a gain and you know it :) AND we've ALL been there! I don't think falling off the wagon every now and again is a bad thing either, in actual fact it...

Hello! WElcome and well done for taking the first step :) I've only been at SW for a week but my recommendations would be.. 1) to plan ahead! there is nothing worse than padding round your house not really sure what to eat, or if you have the stuff in. Plan menu's and go shopping accordingly...

Lol, I didn't have a great weekend and am also back on track today.. starting with my WI this morning! Actually I put my syns into my diary and its not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be - write it down you'll probably be quite surprised! I had a chinese take out on friday night...

How are you getting on Jadeine? I'm at my first WI on Monday so haven't been on the plan for a week yet and I'll admit I've found it quite hard! I hate cooking and the planning thing I'm awful at lol so I've just spent a lot of time this week starving and craving sugar lol. Hopefully it will...

noisy

boring today, but was starving when i finally got home! A tin of Heinz spaghetti (free) and a hard boiled egg. Cause I was going to chew my arm off lol... oh and a handful of vanilla pumpkin & sunflower seeds (5syns guessed lol)

spoil

Hello! Have you done SW before? I have just rejoined on Monday to a group. Last time I lost a stone over about six weeks and then realised how 'easy' the EE plan was and carried on by myself - needless to say it all piled back on! So this time I'm in group all the way! I've been weighed...

broad

Thanks! I will look these up! :)

Lets face it, the man you are about to marry will be with you the rest of your life. The weight is something you can do something about - when you are ready and if you want to. Your wedding day is more important than most things right now so don't worry! If you are anything like me you will...

Hello I'm new :o I've been a member for longer than that because I've done slimming world before, about two years ago. Lost a stone and then have spent the last two years working myself up to joining again because I regained that stone! Several times this year I have been asked when my baby is...

day 4 continued: Lunch: Free leek & potato soup with some sliced peppers and a slice of ham, coffee Dinner: Basmati rice (free) with a jar of Uncle Bens Cantonese sauce (21 syns for entire jar, so counted as 6) and chicken breast (free). Orange & choc muller light - free I think but will check...

junk

I only started SW this week. I've joined because I'm unhappy. Its purely selfish reasons, but its taken so long to finally admit its time to do something about it. Over the last six months I've had three different people ask me when my baby is due :( Its made me really unhappy because...

Hello! I started back at SW on Monday morning. I was 13st8lb on weigh in. Are you going to group? The reason I ask is that you don't seem to have eaten much at all! My aim is to get a stone off for Xmas the same as you, and then I won't be too far off my club 10! Here are my days so far to...

Hey Mrs T! :D I joined SW on Monday. I too gained my weight whilst having kids, and I too am going to be 30 next year! I weighed in at 13stone 6lbs, and really want to lose a stone before Xmas. Then I won't be far off my 10% loss. I've found SW is keeping my focus on cooking healthy...

Monday I had 6.5 Tuesday I had 16.5!! Wednesday I'm up to about 9 lol.. swings in roundabouts! My consultant tells us to get a piece of paper and write down the numbers from 105 downwards, and use the 105 over the week. And always count down so you aren't looking at how many syns you have...

I keep using mine on cheese, the full fat stuff lol.. so today 25g full fat cheddar = 5 syns and muller light fat free vanilla cherry and choc sprinkles yoghurt 1.5. Opened a pack of dried berry mix yesterday which was 6.5 but only had half, so am going to have the other half shortly. I dont...

Wow you look fantastic! I only started SW a few days ago so I'm looking for real inspiration, and I think you may be it!

Hi there! I started SW yesterday morning so can't give you any tips lol.. but the meeting is all about group support. The members were individually weighed and congratulated on their weight loss. Some discussed weight gain and the possible reasons for this, and other members gave them tips how...

Hi Everyone! I only joined SW yesterday morning, but I feel like I'm doing pretty well so far. I made the free chicken curry last night which was really lush! I don't often have breakfast due to the school run-rush, and am quite happy waiting until lunchtime. This morning though I decided to...

I only started SW yesterday morning, but so far so good! My first mini-goal is to lose a stone before Xmas. I'm sure its do-able as I think most people lose quite a lot in the first month or so. So really I need to be losing about 3lb a week.. eek!

This is the first recipe I've tried as I only joined group yesterday. I normally have a lot of trouble finding healthy options for all the family as my husband won't touch veg unless its blitzed.. and my small kids are quite fussy too, they don't like finding lumps of veg. So I used fry...

And the outcome? I started at 13st 5lbs and I'm now 12st 8lbs :D Well chuffed. Its been so hard though - but going to group has definately been a big thing for me - when I tried to do the diet by myself I'd be good but then have a bad few days thinking it didn't matter I'd catch up...

I'm on the EE plan, but I'd love to make some low as possible syn'd macaroons! yummy :)

well according to my scales this week I'd put on 2lbs... I went to WI and had lost 2.5! So goes to show eh... Why are you eating yoghurts if you don't like them?

And... I lost 2.5 lbs! whoop whoop! Considering I had my Birthday (at an Italian) my Dads birthday (at a chinese) and a hen night (42 sins down that night) I'm really pleased! It goes to show you really can enjoy yourself by changing how you cook your food, not what you eat :D Watch this...

They were fresh.. uh oh!

Hi Still very new to this so some help needed! I'm on extra easy plan. Yummy tea this evening was: Rice noodles with tuna (was in brine) dash of soy sauce (is this syn'd??) I couldn't find fry lite so I used Flora Light spray, several spritses of that and a stir fry of various veg. Any ideas?

Thanks for a quick reply! I'm a bit confused though... I thought it was bad to buy things in jars..?

I got one for my birthday last week and I love it :D I have also unlocked the candle one and its completely pointless! Some friends came round when I was doing it for the first time and as they walked into the room they were like wtf are you doing? lol it didn't get any better.... I've...

Hi everyone, I've been doing SW for a week now and have been frantically browsing recipes and lurking :) trying to find something nice to eat as I'm bloomin starvin! Ive noticed a lot of recipes have passata in them - what is it? and where abouts in the supermarket will I find it please...

wow thanks for all the replies, you guys are an inspiration for me anyway - reading the loss you have already done! LadyMhoram those ideas sound fab I might just give those a try :) I've started writing down some meals I could try too, teatime will be difficult as my husband will not touch...

Thank you for your fast replies! I had the small books given to me but theres not really much in there about EE? I've registered with the website though and theres more recipes there but I'm struggling a bit to buy the stuff till I get paid at the end of the month lol... so just basically...

I've been on SW for two days now and Im finding it really hard. I've no doubt I'm well and truly addicted to chocolate and yesterday I just picked some up and scoffed the whole bar... yes I'm so embarassed :( I just don't know how to make it easier for myself. I really want to lose the weight...

Hi I'm Muffin and I joined slimming world yesterday so today is my first day :) I currently weigh 13st 5lbs and at only 5ft 3, that makes me a size 18 :(( I've done WW in the past but although it 'worked' I was so hungry all the time that I just couldn't stick to it. This morning I feel...
