Hi everyone, i'm training for the exeter half in february, only started running in august and am way behind you ladies. I did a 5k park run at the weekend, was reasonabley hilly compared to my normal runs, in 34.40 which i am disappointed at. wanted under 33. However i gave up smoking a month...

Also exercising this time too. wil just edit and...

Hey, we are in not too dissimilar situations, i love the idea of running, the freedom and not being tied to a gym or needing to fork out for equiptment, so many reasons i've always wanted to run. i started last week, having never run before, and never exercised and spent several years in and out...

hey, i started my own get fit/lose weight mission last week, weighed in at 13st 6lb so not a huge amount to lose but having spent 6 years in and out of a wheelchair due to rare neurological condition, and last week marked 1 year of not using it or any other walking aids at all, so exercising for...

With my auntie she can have goats cheese and ewe's cheese, just nothing out of a cow, whereas other ibs milk can't have that, so it might not be tooo bad. Mrs broadside, if gravy and kfc is upseting you it may be gluten, although not sure how that would point to tomatoes (!?!) I'll pm you and...

common ones are caffine, wheat, dairy, and spices, recommend a minimum of 72 hours completely free of each of them. For me it's spices, for my mum it's spices and red kidney beans (!?!) for my aunt it's caffine, and other aunt it's dairy, she can have a little splash of milk in tea and that's...

yeah, know that feeling, could well have had more last night, i really don't remember, but think it's about right. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. hehe! Although was moaning last week that i haven't lost for 3 weeks, even though i've been good. Don't think this is going to help me at all...

Codine is danerous, i spent a year on strongest co-codamol, then got put onto diclophenic, diazapam, co-codamol, dihydracodine (still codine!),tramadol (same group of drugs as heroin) plus regularly on oramorph (morpine based). Stopped taking them all about 3 years ago, actually my condition has...

Ok it's official, you are my savior. Tis gone already, and really hit the spot. so simple, yet genius. thanks again spaceangel.

Yum yum yum, and it got the ULTIMATE compliment, OH likes it, he has moan constantly since i started SW. doesn't realise it, as tries to be v. supportive, but moans about food. Now dispite pulling funny faces since i first mentioned it.... He likes it!

Just found this, it's cooking as we speak, oh be home late and need a snack to keep me going, Genius spaceangel!

Another cheap meal, and one i love, as does the OH (Shocking!) is vegetable paella. unlike vegetable rice, this comes out quite gooey and stodgy. and you don't need alot to fill you up, trust me. Serves 2 1 small onion finely chopped, 1 courgette chopped, 1 pepper chopped, 1 clove garlic...

I loved this when i tried it a few months ago, unfortunatly i found out OH doesn't like guac or refried beans or coriander. Doh!!! but do try it it's lovely. As with most of Stacey's recipes!

Seconded, we want you in west london! although, with skype etc wonder if it would be possible to have IMAGE therepy online, podcasts maybe. could charge for them. don't know how this would fit with the SW marketing plan, but good idea, then we could all benefit from you!

I'm with the rest of them, your advice is always spot on, supportive, and been through it yourself. Had one consultant years ago that had never been on the plan and was HUGE. Plus every week turned up and seemed to gain or sts, lost 4lb in 6 months!, seemed a bit of a hypocrite to be handing out...

pretty good, had it twice now, although i think it would be just as good without the chickpeas as they are a little on the hard side for my liking. The best bit is it's not only pretty good, but WHOLE CAN is a hexb. :woohoo:

i thought i did, i mean the meatball sauce i made from scratch had toms, carrots, celery, onion in them. and sauce for pasta is almost the same, plus black eyed bean patties, will try and add more, for fruit, i don't buy alot because of cost, but try and have at least a banana or 2 every day...

does get a bit confusing with us two, anyway, just went on her profile, no posts in 4 weeks, so sent her a message to say hi how are you.

i assume you mean Beki and not me?

oh and weight myself on a monday morning before had tea or anything, in my birthday suit, so not anything to do with different clothes or eating before weighting!

Ok so i've been really really good over the last couple of weeks with food, been trying to do at least 30 mins exercise 5 times a week. Measuring everything, not guessing, and over last 3 weeks i've been +1, sts, +1. I've read all the other posts but i'm aiming for a minimum of 5 syns a day...

Wow sounds good. Let us know what else you serve.

i like the seeds as if you have a pestle and mortor and pound them, the smell and taste is so much more fragrant than powder. I love using it, it's also in alot of mexican dishes and italian winter dishes.

oh and mne, even fresh did take about 20 minutes to cook. so don't be put off if it's not cooked in 3-4 minutes.

jamie oliver has a website with some good stuff on it, i made butternut squash ravioli in march ish and don't think the recipe is on there any more, but very good recipes and easy to follow. did mine by hand with a rolling pin. Only thing i would say is make sure you get every possible bit of...

I buy low fat ambrosia, can buy individual tubs, i get them in tesco, just enough for us two. And yeah it is a little stodgy. Mince meat gives it a lovely flavour. It isn't quite the texture of steam pudding, but still really good. Love naughtiness, and things like this, and cheese on toast just...

I buy the ambrosia low fat pots, individual tubs, you can get them in sainsburys.

roughly how long does it take to cook and for 'sauce' to go sticky? thinking of trying it but wanna get my timings right for the chips.

yeah i just put it on another thread. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/106307-can-we-have-cous-cous-recipes-thread-please.html Can't claim it as my own, but couldn't find original thread after loads of searching. i have it when other half has spotted dick, and steal some of his...

i know i could hardly believe it when i thought of it. So naughty too!!! Look at my food diary (bekki) and look at the naughtiness i came up with the other day!

although if OH drops to 8 st i will quit SW. In the interest of his health. I get him to eat nuts and things and has a fatty dessert 3-4 times a week. And have researched gaining weight, but it doesn't seem to be helping, and i am not cooking 2 meals every night, but if i don't cook for him it's...

I always have milk for my tea as my HEXA, I will be honest and say i have at least 1 hexb as but 2 is sometimes hard as don't really have cereals etc. don't know what to have as a b today. maybe cheese toastie as a hexa and hexb.

Start new job monday so off today, made black eyed bean patties for tea, bit dubious as i can only relate the texture to that of the time i had spiced some lamb for burgers, left it on the side to answer the phone and the dog had it, and promptly threw it straight back up. ended up using burger...

As i've said before, i used to be a binge eater, with my favorite trick being to scoff a whole stuffed crust meat feast pizza with chicken dippers and breaded mushrooms, then not eating for 2-3 days. Even been known to drive 46 miles to get one when i was staying with someone living in the...

Sounds very like my OH although doesn't like coriander (although only doesn't like it when he knows its it something!), spinach he loves one day and hates the next and courgette is a nono. My problem is he's just over 8st and 6'2. He eats loads, i have always cooked from scratch every day, so...

I made chocolate orange one yesterday. The cake itself is fine, quite nice, but the filling with orange essence is foul. really nasty. so tart it pulls your proverbial up to your eyeballs. So sitting in the fridge probably stay there until it reaches the bin!

best peice of advice i've heard in ages, very well said natt

Wow that's amazing, well done. Trying this cake tonight, about to go bake it. Let you know how it turns out.

to be honest 20 seconds with a folk will do it, just so it looks one colour. your two prong whisk thing would be very handy for fat free sponge on here, it sounds hard but i promise isn't. Could give you a blokes recipe version if you want, i have to do these for OH so they have EVERY possible...

yep, it's still free. And to be honest if you could get past the appearence it just tasted like warm cottage cheese. Funny that. now about to make a fat free chocolate and orange sponge. Hopefully more of a success.

I'm eating lunch and it's a complete disaster, only had 1 egg left but had SW quiche planned (although not very well!), so tried to make it with 1 egg, then noticed dearest OH had swiped the ham for my quiche so just had mushrooms in it, and it's turned into basiccaly baked cottage cheese with...

on point of damaging you though, I got told basically don't try and walk or do anything that pushes yourself, all we can do is make you comfortable, (cos it's really comfortable being stuck in a chair!) and they pumped me with drugs, drugs and more drugs. I brought a pair of crutches and...

Yeah, got it turned down and appealed and got local DAB to help. To be honest now i'm out of wheelchair most of the time and living a fairly normal life. So trying to carry on and then when i really can't work and really need it try again. It's just so stupid. I know a woman with agrophobia, who...

Tried to find a recipe i found on here to link to but can't find it. I hope whoever posted it won't mind me repeating it but made other half Spotted dick and wanted a dewssert myself so i didn't dive into his! really is awesome. 4oz plain Couscous 3 eggs 3 tbsp sweetner 2 tbsp Mincemeat...

8/10 for me. Baseball and 'faucet' caught me out!

saw The hangover which was hilarious. although not in a rom com kinda way. I want to see the ugly truth. Think that looks quite funny. And it helps to have Gerard Butler in it!!!!

This makes me sick for the money she gets. I woke up one morning and got out of bed and dropped to the floor. Couldn't stand. Always had a bad back, but working as a mechanic at the time, lots of lifting etc involved. Spent 2 years in a wheel chair. and it took them 2.5 years to diagnose me...

Yay for petrol heads!!!! love my Ford Capri, and My Motorbike, 1978 GPZ750 turbo if anyones interested. Love speed (On a track!) and roar of an engine, the feeling of power and love the fact i fix them myself most of the time.

Hmmm... sorry to add something else into the mix but they are both things my OH would love, i sent him on a tank driving day, get to be a big kid and play with big toys, he LOVED IT! Out of the 2 i'd go for alton towers, alot of these 'days are only 3 hours with 1 hour actual driving. So make...

I just felt Ill. Headachey, lethargic, sick, tired. Not feeling much better today. I guess feeling ill and other half away for work, so nobody to say there there and comfort me and bring me tea etc. So there's the answer, make sure other half never leaves the flat again! It wasn't my fault after...

Well i work in southwark, between blackfriars and london bridge station, so if you ever wanted to meet up for a moan, inspiration, encouragement, recipe swap etc over a coffee, just give me a shout.

You're not alone, feel really ashamed as did the same thing last night, about 100g mixed nuts, 2 slice soreen with about a tsp of butter on each and an Ainsley Harriett chocolate bar, which to be honest really wasn't worth it, as they aren't actually that nice. Plus tea, luckily syn free, not...

Where in london are you?

Yeah, oh well sure it'll all work itself out! only spell my name like that coos i've got 2 k's in Rebekka. Don't ask me why, mother having a moment i guess, not that she ever isn't having a moment, hehe.

There is that pizza recipe in the recipes section tha uses smash as a base, i'm slightly dubious as don't like smash, but those that have tried it say its ok. Blind bake it first, then with topping, should be ok if you're quick as heat from just cooked base will start to firm the bottom up quite...

guess i'll be there on my own tonight then, hehe

this could get confusing, i've never met another bekki who spelt there name like i did!

Probably the same here to be honest, went to O2 a month or so ago, nearly killed me and took me a week to recover. Oh well, have to remind ourselves of our limits occasionally. I now much prefer a night on the Wiiiiiiii with a few friends and a few drinks.

Could be, why you go out in west london?

That is what is most annoying about him. Doesn't exercise and the idea of dried fruit/nuts/seeds etc is like trying to get him to drink acid. Doesn't have an active job, sits all day at a computer and i exercise, try to do a little bit every day and that's in addition to a 20 minute walk each...

Thanks squiddie, just feeling a little deflated, it's really hard having to balance the two things and not have to cook 2 meals every night, also i am terrible and won't cook for just myself.

so would any bran crispbread be a suitable alternative? don't attend classes as just can't afford it right now :(

Ok, so i'm on slimming world and much much happier than on atkins. But have a small problem, I am a size 14/16 and not unhappy but would like to be a 12/14, or a healthy BMI as weight has never meant much to me, it's more about being happy and healthy. However here's the problem, My lovely OH...

Was thinking of making a cake and freezing it as won't eat a whole cake before it goes off. Any idea if cous cous cake if freezable, and any other similar cakes are, like the idea of Weetabix or something, and also keep craving Sorren, any ideas for low syn alternatives? Thanks

Oooh, really? that's higher than i thought. Going out for dinner tonight, which is going to be a complete mission, and i know i am going to fail miserably, so was trying to go for as low as possible. Thanks for the answer anyway.

Hi all, Been on slimming world about 3 weeks and finding it really hard, but just had a John west tuna light lunch, tomato salsa as had to grab something between meetings, does anybody know the syn value on these, figured about 2 as mainly free. I'm on a red day by the way. Bex
