please could I have a copy of the fast forward plan?

Hi Guys Well, you're not going to believe this!! I've just come back from being weighed. Guess What? I lost 4 pounds!!!:D:) I've not done anything different food wise, other than for the last three days instead of having cereal for breakfast, i've had a muller lite and strawberries - maybe...

Hi guys I'm new to calorie counting. After spending 6 weeks sticking to Slimming World plan rigidly and only losing 5 pounds - 4 of those in the first week - I'm kind of getting fed up. I'm exercising - always have done - at least 3 times a week - so in theory it should be falling off me...

Hi Bumpy Thanks for replying so quickly. A general day is: 1oz special k stustain, or 2 weetabix with milk from allowance. Clementine mid morning and sometimes a muller lite. Lunch: Salad, lettuce, toms, cucumber, peppers and tin of tuna in brine (sometimes, boiled chicken or salmon)...

Hi guys I haven't been around for a while - a long while in fact! I'm in need of some desperate help! I rejoined Slimming world 6 weeks ago. first week, lost 4 pounds , nothing the next two weigh ins, then lost a pound and then nothing again. I'm following the diet 100%, exercising 3...

Hi Foodfairy, Well I don't think i'll be doing the Fast foward for a few weeks - I had to go or a scan last night - I've lost my coil(?!?!) and they've found an ovarian cyst too - so my consultant thinks it's best to just keep going for now - the cyst may explain the slowness of my losing...

OK foodfairy..... we can do this! Its just a blip - it would all be too easy if the weight just fell off of us! Life has its ups and downs - the diet will always been there! So.... we get back on it and start afresh! Sit down and plan your menus for the next week ( I know that's helped you in...

Mrs V, did you get stuck for long? After you did the Fast Forward plan and lost the 8 pounds, did the weight losses continue after that? As you said, it's got chocolate fingers on the list and that's something I wouldn't have normally had - even as a syn!!!

Well been weighed and guess what..... I stayed the same.... again:confused: To say i'm upset and angry is an understatment. I'm going to give it one more week doing the red/green/mix to match and then, if i stay the same again next week, i'm going to do the Fast Forward plan that slimming...

Hi Mrs V 8lbs?!! Wow, that's amazing! I'm just putting so much effort into this and not getting anything back from it. I have a christening to go to on Sunday - food wise.... will that mess it all up if I still follow it or would it be ok to just do a red or green just for that particular...

I sent my consultant a text asking about it - and she said it was really only for "last resort" problems but she would bring it along anyway. I just think that if you are putting 150% effort into a diet, you really should be getting something back - otherwise you start losing heart and stop...

Hi DQ Yep she's gone into it and thinks its fab but I just wondered if anyone else had done it on this forum and what success they had had on it. I really need to do something positive and get this weight shifting - its just soooooooo slow!!! How you doing? Made any of the recipes yet...

Hi guys I stayed the same last week at weigh in and am 150% on this diet and exercising loads! so i'm looking at ways of shaking things up a bit to get the weight shifting again. Has any one any good ideas or suggestions? My consultant keeps plugging the Mix to Max, where you have your...

Whereabouts on the website will I find out about the food delivery etc? I can't see anything about it at all!!

Can anyone order the food from the Slimming World web page now then???xx

Hi guys well i'm just back from weigh in and have stayed the same - to say i'm not happy is an understatement. I've been on the diet 150%, run 3 miles four times this week and done three stints in the gym too. Last week I lost 2.5 pounds which is more than normal for me - i'm a steady 1...

Hi, You've done so well - don't give up!!! At least you lost. I;ve just got back from SW club and stayed the same - and like you, I've been on the diet 150%! I've run three miles four times this week too! so I'm gutted too. But we have to carry out - what a waste of all that hard work and...

Hiya are you still having problems? I've just managed to get logged in ok. Did you use the right group password? It's ONION. xx

Thank you so much for your advice - I get weighed tonight - and no doubt it will be my usual pound! I've taken good note of your advice and just re-written my shopping list for tomorrow night - adding different foods to normal and changing things round a bit. I'll also, as of tomorrow, hit the...

i have to admit to not drinking anywhere near enough water. My problem is I work in London and have a long journey home. I leave the office at 5.30 and don't get home till about 7.15pm - and on the odd occasion(!) when I have drunk heaps of water - i've got caught short and had a very painful...

Agh, you're so helpful - I really do appreciate it. i did CD for two weeks then had a break for 3 days of stuffing my face basically then went on to SW. I have to admit to being amazed when I actually lost weight the first week on SW. I had read all kinds of things on this forum and was...

I'm eating loads of super speed foods at the moment, rasberries, strawberries, quorn sausages..... maybe I should eat more?!

Hiya, I vary it a great deal. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday tend to be red days - cos I have time to cook proper meat dishes(!!) and Monday Tuesday Wednesday I tend to have Quorn . So fairly mixed?? It's just really starting to annoy me now as I stick rigidly to the diet, put in...

Oh that would be fab - I've just read the section about it in our books and I still not totally sure how it works to be honest! May be more trouble than it's worth - but I thought I'd give it a go as my weight loss is so slow at the moment - only a pound a week - I'm 150% on the blasted diet, go...

Has anyone tried Success Express? Do you understand it? How on earth does it work? My weight loss is very slow - probably due to doing the CD diet before starting SW. I lose weight every week - but only a pound and am not starting to find this extremely frustrating :sign0009: - especially as...

Hi Tracey I, like you, changed from CD to SW - I had two days of eating whatever I liked inbetween the change, put on about 6 pounds in those couple of days then started SW. In the first week I lost four pounds and from then on since, it's been a steady pound a week - apart from one blib when...

Hi girls! I'm glad i'm not the only one being a slave to the scales - I weigh myself twice a day!! Once in the morning - first thing and then after i've been to the gym each evening. My weight loss is very slow, I lost four the first week, then i've been losing a pound a week ever since and...

Hi Mrs H! You've done a fantastic job so far - it'd be a shame to let it slip! I know exactly what you mean though! I'm useless doing it on my own - I need to know I have to face an "audience" once a week otherwise it all slips! Go on..... bite the bullet and join - you'll feel so much...

almost forgot..... foodfairy we missed you! I was worried about you - thought you had gone completely off the rails after your blip earlier in the week! Am so pleased to hear you're back on track and sounding very positive - keep at it girl - you're so close to your goal!! xx

That's funny cos we had a taster evening last night too!! I managed to get a recipe for syn free cream (well it's almost like cream)!! I'll dig it out tomorrow and post it on the Recipes thread. Sticky toffee pud is my fav and even if you eat the whole thing yourself in one go - it doesn't...

Hey Foodfairy - how ya doing??? I'm checking up on you!! Are you back on track now? How's it going? Loopyloo xx

Hi Thanks for the info - that's a very good point. I didn't eat 7,000 odd extra calories - i'LL remember that, next time it happens - I don't seem to be the only one that has this problem either!!! It's my own fault though - I'm an obsessive weigher!!

parkin cake sounds fab - we have a taster session at our class next week - so I think I'll make that! So you can have the WHOLE thing, to yourself for a Health B OPtion and 4 Syns or just syn the whole thing for 6??? Have I got that right??? Don't worry about the fry up! We all get tempted...

The parkin version would be good to have when you get a mo - it's nice to have a change!! Scan bran is responsible for my regular trips to the loo!!! It keeps you nice and regular which is great for me as if I stick to a red week I get a bit constipated!!! Had my weigh in tonight and lost a...

Ok, just looked it up on the slimming world site and it says...... Q: Can my child join a group? A: Children aged 11-15 can join for free if they bring a doctor's note and are accompanied by a parent/guardian. If the adult is already a member of Slimming World, there is no extra charge. If...

Hi, I'm no expert on this but I really can't see why her 12 year old can't join with her - after all it's done under parental supervision - we have a school girl that comes in to get weighed in my class and her mum comes along with her. The diet is so easy! On a red day - you can basically...

sorry guys - I get weighed tomorrow so my password stays with me til tomorrow evening!! xx

OK fighting flab - ..... just for you.... the chocolate cake! you will need.... 5 scan bran (boy will you go to the loo!!), 3 beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon golden syrup, 1 oz cocoa power and 3/4 tablespoons of sweetner (but adjust according to how sweet you like things - it takes a couple of goes...

Hi Nessa Yep - the password is beetroot! I'm only able to remember it because I can't stand the stuff - absolutely hate it!!! xx

Well done to both of you! Food fairy for getting right on back in there and planning ahead and Fighting Flab for shedding 2.5 pounds - both fantastic!!! OK, Toffee pudding recipe.... You're gonna need: 4 scan bran, 1 level tablespoon golden syrup, 1 sachet of Options - Tempting Toffee...

Glad to hear you're back on track! 9 syns for a cake sounds a lot. Have you not been given the recipe for sticky toffee pudding yet? I think you can have it as a healthy b choice and 6 syns. I'm at work at the moment so don't have it with me but will try and get round to posting it on here...

Ok Foodfairy! :) Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start again! It's a new day tomorrow! We all have times when we just fall off the path and can't get back on again as easily as we thought we would. It happens and after all, we have to live life and enjoy it at the same time. Don't...

Hi TL I was a target member just over two years ago, put a stone and 4 pounds on and I've gone back - I have to admit to dreading the thought of seeing people there that I knew or remembered me. Only one lady recognised me and she was impressed with me for only putting on what she thought...

Hiya, get this..... got on the scales (as I do) this morning and weighted myself - the two pounds were still there. Kicked the scales and jumped on again (they are digital and bang on(in the pas) with Slimming world ones) and the two pounds went!!?!! Maybe I need to get new scales???

Ok girls, I know I shouldn't weigh myself every day but alas I do. Weighed myself this morning and since yesterday the scales say i've put on 2 pounds!! absolutely and totally impossible! Yesterday I went to a children's party, had two diet cokes and half a chocolate finger other than that, had...

Food fairy that's fantastic - four pounds! :party0049:Absolutely amazing. Well done you! Don't you feel good?! I need to have whatever you're having cos I lost a pound and a half - and to be honest it's just too slow for me! I exercise 5 out of seven days, stick to this programme 110% and...

Hi Foodfairy I've got exactly the same problem ! scales showed up a loss of a pound yesterday and now it would seem I've put on a pound! Why does this happen? I've stuck to it 110% as i'm so determined to do this! It's so unfair. There are other people in my class who are a lot slimmer...

hiya - keep with it hon! I felt just like that last thursday when I went for my weigh in! My stomach blows up like a balloon! I drank loads of water too but I'm not so sure it helped. They say to shift excess water, you have to drink loads of water to flush it all out! I'm still TOTM but...

yey - way to go! :D I've been checking on line to see if you have posted anything - have been worried about you! I'm so pleased for you. Just stick with it hon - stick with it. Forget about the past few weeks - thing of the 3 and a half pounds as your first week - and from here you start...

I lost a pound - which I'm a bit disappointed about! I've stuck to the plan 100% to and exercise 5 times a week in the gym - although I'm stearing clear of weights etc as they build heavy muscles and sticking mainly to cardio work (which is supposed to burn fat and calories). I did all red...

Hi Wez,How's it going? You seem to be struggling honey. I lost four pounds in my first week after moving straight from CD to SW and I go to get weighed on Thursday evening this week and the scales haven't moved. I've stuck to the diet rigidly - not cheated once. You aren't alone honey. It's...

My first weigh in was last week and I lost four pounds (which I was amazed at because came straight off CD and onto SW). I get weighed on Thursday night and so far the scales aren't moving - at all in fact on Sunday they said I had actually gained weight! Its impossible. I've stuck to the...

well I've not been back long from my first weigh in - and guess what? I actually lost four pounds!! I'm so pleased it's untrue. The consultant was fantastic. She kept saying, before I jumped on the scales, no pressure, if you don't want me to announce your loss etc then she won't. She really...

Hiya Nessa I know exactly how you feel. I joined slimming world last thursday after doing two weeks of cambridge diet. I get weighed tomorrow night and have stuck to the diet 100 per cent and going by my scales which were the same as theirs, It looks like I may have only lost two pounds this...

How are you doing Wez? I know you were struggling recently, what with the change from CD to SW. Has the weight started to come off now?? I'm in my first week of SW after coming off of CD (was on it for 2 weeks). I had two days of eating normally in between CD and SW. I get weighed on...

Hi, Did you find you put any weight on in the first week of doing the slimming world diet? I came off of CD yesterday, am eating healthy stuff at the mo and planning to join SW on Tuesday evening but am scared of putting on weight in my first week!

Have you had a break between finishing Cambridge Diet and joining weightwatchers? I'm curious as I'm about to do the same thing but concerned that because i've not eaten for two weeks (only had the CD shakes) that I'll actually gain weight in my first week of weightwatchers. I finished the...

did you leave much time between finishing CD and starting SW?? I too am about to switch but have only been doing CD for two weeks. My next SW class starts on 4th June so that gives me about 11 days to get back to some kind of normal eating before I join. I'm really worried that I'll join and...

I've only been doing the CD for two weeks so hope it won't have messed things up too much. I've left a message with a SW consultant to call me and this is one of the questions i'm going to ask her - so I'll let you know when I've spoken to her. It would be sole destroying to start at SW and...

Hi Busy How have you been getting on with SW? I too, like you, have been on Cambridge diet, but i've only done it for two weeks and am about to join Slimming World. I'm really concerned about it messing up my system and that my first weigh in after joining SW will be a gain!!! Let me know...

Thanks for the info. I go for what I'm calling my final weigh in with CD tomorrow evening as I've stuck at the blasted thing for this week so thought I may as well see it through! That gives me 11 days to get my body, eating habits and system back to normal, Do you think that's long enough...

I've just finished cambridge diet and lost a stone in two weeks and now want to carry on with slimming world. Did you leave a big gap inbetween the finishing CD and starting SW? I'm just concerned that my metabolism will be screwed up!

I've been doing the Cambridge diet for two weeks now and I think I've had enough. Ok, i've lost a stone in two weeks :) but I'm paying for it! went to the gym yesterday and my energy has been zapped. I have a slimming world club close by and they have a class on a Monday evening. I was...
