Ah no, maybe not - Irene up above has way more than 50 posts!!!!!!

Ah yes, I suppose it could be that couldn't it. And don't mention it - a well deserved perfectly executed thanks!!

So why is it on some posts and not others???

Oh bloomin 'eck, I am dim sometimes!!! lol

Hello, Could someone please tell me how to 'say thank you' to someone for a reply or a post on here?

Yes I do mine in just a sandwich bag and they are absolutely fine. Thanks for the banana idea too, might give that a go.

I weighed yesterday and lost 2lb this week, I have also adjusted my weight and the total weight which makes it 117lbs overall. Can't believe how well we are doing. That's over 8 stones between us! CharlotteGrace1 - 21lbs - 1lbs lost so far 20lbs to go Byron - 35lbs - 2lbs lost so far GracieMai...

It sounds like a bit of a funny one but I think they're so good I have to share them with you! I went to a friend's one night (and she does some wonderful dinners) and after she presented frozen grapes and chocolate to dip them in. They were AMAZING! I have never tried anything like them...

Ooh I like that one! I like a big thick base so that would do it.

Don't be too disheartened Cara. Anything other than a gain has to be good x

:cry:Weigh day has come and it's not good news. I knew what was going to happen and I'm still really upset about it. 4lbs on. What's that all about - I'd only lost 7.5lb and now that's more than half of it back on. I'm so annoyed. I know what's done it - holiday, family funeral (and family crap...

Yaaaaay, well done hun xx

Charming - don't they know there's people out here that neeeeeed them!!!

:welcome2: I haven't been here too long either but I feel like I've known loads of people here for years, it's lovely. Well done on the weight loss so far and good luck with this challenge x.

Oops, sorry, our paths crossed there. Youve already called the doctor!!

Oh poor you hun. Make sure you do get some fluids in you, even though it's a chore to get up and get some. What about filling a couple of 2 ltr bottles with chilled water and make a flask of tea and keep it by the side of the bed/sofa, that way you won't dehydrate and you don't have to get up...

Ah yeah, the best. Guess what I'm having tomorrow...........

Ah sorry Lorraine, missed your post there. I get mine from tickerfactory.com. They take you through it step by step to create it and then at the end give you the BB code which you just need to copy and paste into your signature. Looks like there's a problem with the site at the moment though.

hee hee heeee, very good

Oh I see. Ok, here's the list with me added then. Good luck everyone. CharlotteGrace1 - 21lbs - 0lbs lost so far Byron - 35lbs - 0lbs lost so far GracieMai - 14lbs - 0lbs lost so far Donnie46 -?lbs - 0lbs lost so far Chuffy_29 - 21lbs - 0lbs lost so far Little Miss Stella - ?lbs -0lbs lost so...

Bloomin eck girl, you were setting yourself one hell of a challenge there then, lol. Glad you decided not to though. Just shout if you need some help - there's plenty of us around :rainbow:

Ok, I must be mad but COUNT ME IN! I completely agree though, I always get to 2 weeks before and wonder why I didnt try sooner. So, 21 weeks to xmas, I'm going to go for 21lbs (stone and a half by my maths). Add me to the list. Let's do this.......... We'll have to make sure this one stays...

All disappeared my end too, lol. Must be a problem with the ticker website I would think.

Awr hun, poor you. We all have times where it goes a bit pear shaped. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon. We'll all help you along the way. You're doing so well, don't let it go now x

I was surprised when it worked so don't think you're the only one. I thought you'd need much more oil than that to fry an egg but it turns out you don't which is great. I'm a poached egg fan but every now and again I like a good fried egg. Nice to have them minus the grease!!

Sounds nosey doesn't it but I'd like to know what people always include on their shopping lists. I feel like I'm always buying fruit and veg and little else and now I'm looking for inspiration.

Oh tell me about it, I've been on holiday so there's a mountain of ironing to be done. Has to wait though cos I'm feeling a bit crappy too. Waiting for the docs to call me back. Not to worry, it means I get to sit and have a wander round the threads in peace. Thanks Donnie, you're cheering me...

Ooh brilliant idea. My big thing is bread and I often eat them because I want to snack, rather than because I'm hungry. This actually sounds like a brilliant alternative to sandwiches or bread and butter. I'll give it a go.

Wow, love this thread. I can finally get rid of the last 2 weeks! I am putting into the box: ...A holiday (which includes numerous ice creams, gallons of cider, 2 days of chip shop teas, several cafe and restaurant meals where I didn't even consider what I was eating, and a massive cooked...

Questions correct: 9 / 10 You took 104 seconds to complete this quiz. Total score: 796 Woohoooooo

Ah I was wondering how it works too. I'll have to get some sheets when I go to class this week.

What's polenta??

Ah fab, thank you. p.s. gorgeous little baby there :)

Hello, Could someone tell me how to get the SW stickers onto my signature please? I'd like to get my first half stone on there.

I'm with you! I've had a shocking time. I went on holiday - need I say more! Problem is I've only been on SW a couple of weeks, lost my first half stone, and now I think I've put most of it back on over this last week. I'm dreading going to WI on Thursday.

polenta? What's that? Where in the supermarket would I find it?

Does it actually taste like smash though, that would be my comment because I don't like smash :( It sounds amazing other than that!

Nice!!! lol. All bran it is then!

Fantastic, thank you so much. Will give those a go. I see Scan Bran pop up on here all the time - what are they???

I make it quite similarly to that..... mince, onion, tomato, garlic, carrots and stock using bovril. Then for the topping I do a swede and celeriac mash, yummy.

Wow! Could I have the recipe and syns value please? I need something that I can have as a sweet snack and this sounds idea.

That's an idea. Could be my contribution to the party too!

Ooh yes, sounds good. Or a potato salad? That's quick and easy and really low in syns. If you want to go a step further the potato curry in the 100 green recipes book is really good and syn free but you obviously need an hour to make it at some point (you could always reheat it on the day?).

Ooh, well, might just give that a go then. Sounds like it's a good idea for a day like that. Thank you x

We've just had taster week and I'd only just started so I didn't know to bring anything. When is yours? Could you make something in the next couple of days?

Lol, you're just all too keen to help me!

Oh ok, what about the meat and pasta? All still free?????

Ah now, I've only been on SW a week and a half and haven't tackled extra easy yet. Could someone explain how it works please? But in response, yes jackets sound like a great idea, I love them. Salad will be available, and chicken so so far so good......

Hi guys, I've been invited to a birthday bash on Saturday and I'd like your advice on what (or what not) to eat please. I can't even eat before I go and not eat there because I have to be there at 3pm to help her and will be staying there for the duration. I take it a red day is the way...

Have a good stern word with yourself and get yourself back to class hun. You know it's what you need to do. Then once that horrible 30 seconds on the scales is over you can breathe a sigh of relief and start afresh.

Awr well done you. I have very little willpower when I go out to eat so I'm impressed :)

Hi guys, :character00254: I'm a pizza lover so imagine my distress when I looked up the points for various Dominos foods in the Food Directory!! 10 syns for a dip!!!!!!! I won't even mention how many in a slice of pizza! Does anyone have a good recipe for pizza for me please? I love...

Good luck Gertie. I just started SW (had my first WI on Thursday) and so far I'm loving it. I did WW for many years and always did the points plan where i had to count everything because I didn't trust myself to not eat too much if I was on the Core plan. I didn't think I was going to like SW...

Keep your chin up hun. Everyone here is right. You have the support of your mum and the guys on here. The group will support you and they don't need to know how much you weigh. I'm the same - my 2 best friends know (because they are both doing SW too) and my boyfriend only knows cos he looked at...

I was on 2 different types of pill from the doctor and at the time I thought it was the best idea. I just have one peice of advice, take note of how you feel when you are on them. I became very depressed, cried alot, was a complete misery really. I didn't realise at the time but as soon as I...

Bellybee I thought that when I was picking them. They look fiddly. Squiddie that's a great idea. I've picked my chain and a wishbone with a shamrock in for my first charm (cos it's the luck for losing the weight) and then an apple for my first half stone to show the healthy eating I do now...

Yes! I'm on a mission now, lol.

:thankyou: Thank you guys, I've just ordered my bracelet. I've ordered the bracelet and one charm for taking the step of joining Slimming World and then one charm ready for my first half stone which I hope to get this week (if I'm really good).

So where's a good place to buy the bracelets from then? Lots of people seem to be ordering them.

Ooh what's this???

Wow, now there's an amazing idea.

What are these? They sound interesting

Ha ha, oh bless you. Bet school was a nightmare!!

Well done Tess, fab start there with your 4.5ibs off. Happy days :bliss:

Ooh that's a good idea. Do you have a recipe please and the syns value??

:eatdrink051: Hello, could you give me some ideas of different breakfasts I could try please, especially on a green day? I don't have a huge amount of time with the kids, the dog and the oh to deal with so something nice and quick too would be good.

Oh I completely agree WW, there's no point in using syns if you're not enjoying them. Much more worthwhile spending more on something you'll actually enjoy. Thanks for the recipe, I hadn't thought of putting egg in there! And thanks Tina - sorry I didnt know your name before (Bumfluff sounds a...

What did you put in your pasta WagonWheel? I'm gonna need some new variations!

Ah bless her. Well it's not the easiest diet in the world to try to understand so I can't say I'm surprised that people get stuck trying! What about using the sheets they give you for the first few weeks - they're laid out in 3 sections aren't they? Free, Hexs and Syns. Maybe seeing it on an...

Oh ignore me - now I've read the whole thread!

How much does a food directory cost if I bought it from a class?

I have decided that since I have quite alot of weight to lose and it's gonna be a long hard slog to get there I need to give myself a little treat every now and again along the way. So my plan is to treat myself with every half stone I lose. What to do though? I don't want to buy clothes...

Bumfluff can you tell me how I get the 'mood' symbol on my profile info please? I can't see it anywhere. Thanks

Hi Tess, It took a good bit of reading of the main SW book to get the hang of it but I'm on day 3 now and actually finding it really good. I've not tried this one before (compared to the years I've spent trying to do Weight Watchers!). I'm not craving sweet things at all yet so I think it must...

Ah rubbish! I bought it cos I thought it was ok. Ah well, off to Tesco I go, lol. Thanks for the help x

Good luck Tess. I started on the same day as you and it looks like I have the same amount of weight to lose as you too. We'll have to egg each other on :character00148:

Fantastic, thank you. However this is Danish White. I notice that the Hovis Danish white is on there so would this be the same?

Hello, I am very new to SW and could do with some help! Warburtons Danish - is this a healthy option? I see Hovis Danish and other Warburtons breads but don't know what I should do to count it. I'm really hoping it is a Healthy Option! :confused:
