Missed weigh in as I was moving back home after work (as I've been house sitting the last two weeks) and I just didn't get back in time. Going to get on the scales at home tomorrow and then from now on I will weigh at home very friday morning. Can't really justify the £20 per month for SW...

Day 41 - Not sure what colour yet! Weigh in tonight, to be honest I'm fully expecting a little gain - been good for the last week (except a little blow out on monday - but still ok for the weekly syns) but i was quite bad the week before and haven't been weighed since two weeks ago. Even if...

Hi Bettu Lollypop - yeah the recipe I used is similar to this one:- http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/100749-sweet-potato-spinach-curry.html Except I've tweaked it a little - added a few extras such as ginger and okra. It's a really good recipe - try the basic and then tweak it...

Just an extra note.... has anyone had a domino's double decadence pizza?? (Cheese sause in between two thin pizza bases) Weeeeeelll me and the OH had an idea and he tried it out last night. He put a layer of quark inbetween 2 tortillas (if you use the Morrisons mini ones they're 4.5 each or...

Wow- what a week Fern! Congratulations hun!!!

Oooh that sounds nice Sarah - I love Oyster sauce so I might give that a try!

They sound lovely Judi, 100% pork has got to be best.... I try to not think about what's in sausages when I eat them - lol! Having said that - I've had a few morrisons sausages recently and prefer them to bacon in a 'fry up'

Hello! I usually make my own own stir fry sauce but thought I'd try one of the packet sauces instead this time (and syn it) Does anyone have any recommendations of any low-ish syn sauces (under 5 syns if poss)? I should say I'm not a fan of black bean or anything too gingery. Thanks in...

Ainsley Harriott cous cous can be cooked with boiling water, carrot sticks and low syn salsa for snacks, seafood sticks for the fridge, cereal bars or crackerbreads for HeB's.

Come on Sticky - you can do it hun.... think back to your first week.... look back at old pictures and look at pictures of the figure you're aiming for. Usually helps me!

So chuffed for you Fern - well done chicken!

Bless ya - I have IBS too so tend to avoid all the pasta and potatoes. If this helps though Mix2Max is basically:- 3 meals a day. Choose a colour for each meal and stick to it for that meal. All snacks must be superfree (think fruit, veg, eggs, cottage cheese etc) and still have 1 or 2...

Alyce.... just a thought - why don't you do mix2max hun? Your snacks are all superfree. Your lunch is free on red and your dinner is free on green so you still get your 2 heB's to spend on something else. Maybe a bit of cheese for your chips or something? x

I agree with all the above comments Judi - I think you'd be superb. The advice you gave to me last week was brilliant and it's stuck in my head since then :-) x

Hi Jess, I have the same problem when I do green days. Have you tried using alternative grains instead of pasta - such as cous cous, millet or quinoa (all available from most supermarkets) or sweet potato instead of normal potato. x

Oooh I didn't realise nice biscuits are only 1 syn each - deffo going to have to get some of those - I had a digestive last night and felt it was a waste of 3.5 syns! Thanks Laura x

Oooh Slack Alice, why shouldn't you eat the skin? I always do - especcially when it's been roasted in the oven -it's lush. And where all the goodness is. As far as I'm aware all members of the squash family have edible skin. x

SW friendly Tortilla Pizza with SW chips (as requested by the OH!)

How bizarre - I cooked morrow last night - then just had the leftovers for lunch - it was scrummy. I halved my marrow and cooked it for 20 mins cut side down in the oven, just to soften it slightly. Then scooped out the seeds and stuffed it with a bolognaise type sauce made using lean mince...

Day 26 - Extra easy B: 2 Quorn sausage, 1 egg scrambled and a little tin of baked beans - this is the winning combo - yum! 1 coffee (milk as heA) S: None - still too full from brekkie! L: Stuffed marrow (left over from last nights tea) (0.5 for garlic paste) with Salad. Ex light mayo (1)...

Just thought i'd let you know it's national watermelon day 4th August... So, get your chops around a watermelon tomorrow! They're a superfree speed food and they're super delicious. (and great for a *ahem* clear out!) :D And they're half price in Tesco :cool:

Mmm I love all the Tilda rice pouches. Have you tried the roasted pepper & courgette one - i think it's 3 syns but very yummy!

Haha great minds think alike eh Cocktail?!

I'm same as you Sticky...

I've had one order, tried a bit of everything (ordered 8 packets due to minimum order).... sausages were ok, but in my opinion not nice enough to pay the extra premium between Morrisons diet sausages and those. Burgers were ok but i'd rather make my own using extra lean mince and add...

Oh and as they have no fat in them they stick to the disposable BBQ's - lol!

I'm pretty sure it's free hun? You say you used the syn calculator... did you give it a free food allowance?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Tried this last night and it was lovely - I used a Weight watchers tortilla wrap which was 5 syns, 1tbsp BBQ sauce (instead of tomato sauce) which was 1 syn. Then topped with :- 2 morrison's diet sausages, first skinned and rolled each one into 6 little balls and cooked in a pan 2 rashers...

Oh and it always tastes better the day after - don't know why but it just seems to settle and absorbs the flavour!

I do a quorn one where I have alternate layers of dry roasted veg (courgettes, onion, pepper, carrot) and the other layer of quorn bolognaise. Normally do one or 2 of each then top with a large tub of VFF fromage frais, mixed with 1 or 2 eggs and half of the cheese that i'm going to use in the...

Excellent - there's no excuse not to be good now Janie!

I think you mean balsamic dressing Cocktail - according to the SW handbook, vinegars of all varieties are free.

That's brilliant news - well done Judi! :-) It's an excellent feeling isn't it?!

Day 23 - Red - Working all day today - 10 hour (quiet) shift sometimes results in boredom eating lol! B: 2 Weetabix (HeB) with water, topped with peach, strawberries & bluebrries. 1 Coffee (Milk as HeA) S: Jumbo fish stick, 3 babybel lights (second HeA) and an Apple. Cup of Tea. L: Chicken...

I eat lots of fruit - normally have 3 pieces with yogurt for breakfast, then another piece as a mid morning snack and another piece or 2 as an afternoon snack. My in between meal snacks probably aren't really because I'm that hungry though, more that when I'm at work it's habit... and if I...

And cheesy chips with mayo from the takeaway.... (after a few syn laden Guinness/Magners!)

Big 200g bags of revels... Not that I would EVER eat a whole bag to myself... :rolleyes:

Just had this for my lunch which I made last night, and thought I should post it incase all you lovely people don't know about it - as it's absolutley delicious. Per person: A chicken breast (or more if you're hungry!) 1 tbsp of Patak's Tikka Massala curry paste (1 syn) 2-3 tbsp's of fat free...

A year to build a 1lb of muscle?? Where did you hear that? Also it's not just the extra muscle but its the water that the muscle holds on to and things like that. Most reliable sources do say that you should expect your weight loss to slow down initially when you start a good exercise...

Day 22 - Onwards and downwards - Red day B: Mango, banana and a few blueberries with f/free yogurt. 1 Coffee (HeA) S: 2 clementines and a peach. L: Home made chicken tikka (1 syn) with salad and cottage cheese. Cup of coffee S: Pear, apple, hi fi bar, clementine. Cup of tea...

Thanks Sticky! Yep - like you I had heard this before but it's kind of difficult to believe and always wondered if it was just an excuse lol. Does make it easier to believe hearing it from a doctor! I have a sneaky feeling that that's a bit of what's happened to me this week as I've really...

Thankyou for all your responses by the way!

You can have cheese as a HeB on a green or EE day only - not red. I guess its to do with the protein content?

I love body pump too - fantastic for toning up. And remember - when you do resistance work your body not only burns calories during the class, but also for ages after due to your muscles needing energy to do all their rebulding and stuff (sure theres a more technical term!) :)

Just curious - those of you who do red & green days, how many healthy extra A's do you have? I'm from old school Slimming World where it was always 1 healthy extra A, 2 Healthy extra B's so having an extra one always feels a bit naughty (daft I know!) Have you noticed any change in weight...

Have a fab time! And have a cream tea for me! Do you do it the Cornish way -cream first or the Devonish (is that the right word?!) way -jam first?? Either way, it'll be yummy!

Thank you all for the very nice and really supportive comments - it's really appreciated! :) I now feel a bit silly for my little moan last night! Hehe! Still no blow out - and there deffo won't be one! :) I am going to make slimming world friendly pizza for tea though (made with a WW...

Weigh in - put on 0.5lb.... Reeeeally not sure why! I've definitely lost inches though as jeans have got loser. Must remember it's not all about the numbers!!! Still, having said that I might try some more extra easy days this week.

Thankyou for your comments! I'm over it now :-) Decided it's obviously just some kind of error- onwards and downwards.... Going to show them scales what I'm made of!

Just got back from weigh in, and I've put on half a pound :-( I'm absolutely gutted! Stuck to plan 100% - even went back to basics and measured out my milk (so cut down!) If anyones got a min please look at my food diary and tell me if you see anything that I've done wrong - my food diary is...

Sorry hun, it doesn't appear to be on the website - do you have the nutritional info and we can calculate it for you? :)

Thanks Cara :-)

Thanks VITFA :) Still got the 'I'm back on the wagon' motivation at the moment so I'm running with it lol!

Yeah - sweetcorn is free on green (not red) so would therefore be free on EE. Babycorn is free on both so is superfree :)

I love going to the gym and being active but spinning is one of the classes I avoid!! Haha! Been twice just to see if it was as bad the second time as I remember it being!!! You'll be fine though - I know a lot of people who absolutely love it, and go to classes regularly. Just keep...

Yeah it's great eye6769. My top tip is to wrap them in foil so they stay moist x

I'm on a red day and i'm having some bolognaise (that's currently in the freezer!) with a jacket potato (HeB) and some carrots.

Don't know if this helps at all but how about roasting some chickpeas and putting a little salt on after? They're a great (if you have a good imagination) peanut substitute. Dead easy too (rinse and sieve a tin of chickpeas - put them on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt and put them in the...

Oooh i love home grown beetroot - roasted in the oven - yummy! :-) I never used to like steak but recently have decided it's actually quite nice! - Amazing how your tastes change eh?

Oooh I like that one Donnie :)

Sorry, it's a bit cheesy and you've probably all heard this before - I'm pretty sure I have, but it's still a nice reminder to remember what's important. Especcially in these credit crunch times! Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers... When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24...

No worries hun, it will click into place soon I promise! Just keep reading your books, and I find reading other peoples food diaries on here is really useful for ideas. Good luck :)

Cara, looking good so far but there doesn't look to be a massive amount of fuit & veg in there? Try and make sure you have lots - it'll speed up your weight loss. And whilst doing the EE plan SW recommend filling a 1/3 of your plate with superfree foods (foods that are free on both red and green...

If it was me - i'd make it with water (tastes just the same IMO) unless you've got some milk from your HeA leftover and eat it - by doing that it'll stop you thinking about being hungry. I find when I am really hungry and resist - I end up being worse in the long run!

Fair play to you :) Well done for controlling you food - not letting food control you. The worst that could happen is that you then go 'oh well i was bad yesterday so I might as well just be bad today' etc etc. thats when the weight goes on!! I'm sure a cheeky little dessert has done you no harm :)

I cook, then freeze in portions, then all i have to do is take it out the freezer and bung it in the microwave to re-heat. Hope that helps.

I lost 2.5lbs :) Yay! Well done to everyone else who got weighed!

Weigh in result :- 2.5lbs off. Really happy with that - kind of wished for a little bit more but I'm not complaining as it is star week and I have felt bloated today. Going for gold this week. Slimmer of the week is mine! :)

Going to the pub for my mum's birthday after weigh in.... so hopefully something SW friendly - quite fancying steak and jacket potato/veg/salad to be honest - quite unusual as it's not something i'd usually pick but it's probably one of the better options when it comes to pub grub.

All the best for tonight :)

I'm wondering if a weetabix white choc bar (HeB) would be good as a base to put the white choc quark onto.... mmmmm must try that!

I did it with turkish delight options tonight and it was quite tasty - still prefer the white choc one though I think....

Just found out Weetabix Oaty Bars are a HeB too..... think I might manage to squeeze one of them in :)

Well done that's brilliant :)

How about chop up some fruit (2-3 pieces) and put it in a tupperware dish/ airtight container? Or put some frozen fruit in there and leave it in the fridge overnight? Then just add a yogurt on top when you're on the train and hey presto! x
