Thanks they all sound very nice, off to the supermarket tomorrow to stock up :D.

Hi I usually buy Aldi seasame crisp breads (1 1/2 syns each) but they haven't had them in my Aldi for about a month :sigh:. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for another one I can buy. What do you think is the best for taste, syn value etc. Need some for my lunch in work next...

spaghetti bolognase but then off to a wedding evening do so will have to try and use flexible syns :D

Hi a really nice thing from ASDA is their own chickpea dahl. It comes in a tin and is very, very tasty and free on a green day. Its not that expensive and I always have a tin in my cupboard. Great filling for a jacket potato - yum, yum :D

:o Sorry Crumble christmas chocolate affecting my brain!! Can you put me down for 10lbs to, I really do need to get a grip........

Camsmum Would love to join you, I need to focus and get my head together again and this would be a perfect opportunity:D

Oh yes going to try this tonight with my roast chicken. Bet DH and DSs will enjoy this too. Yummy:)

This sounds very nice, I love cabbage but it can get a bit boring. I will give it a try.:eating:

This is fab, I am an habitual snacker and need all the ideas I can, thanks folks. I have also discovered Aldi Harvest Morn 'Less than 70 Calories' cereal bars. They are only £1.29 for six so a lot cheeper than Alpen Light and only 3 syns each. I am addicted to the apple and sultana ones. :D

Peachy, you are not alone, i had a similar start to my weight problem. I too was taken to see a dietican when I was 8 and I didn't have a clue either. I was basically told to go away, eat properly which meant boiled potatoes, boiled veg and lean meat and fish. Not really ideal for an 8 year old...

Sounds yummy ...............

Thanks everyone, you have certainly given me food for thought. I am trying to stick to EE so don't want to use my HE up too quick in the day!

Hi I am looking for inspiration. I want to try and avoid using my HE A & B for breakfast, hoping to use them for lunch or tea instead. So I was wondering if anyone has any breakfast ideas that don't use them. :confused:

Oh the good old days! I remember our consultant encouraging us to blitz mac cheese and use as a topping for lasagne! Hey, still managed to loose weight on it though, just never managed to keep it off hence still with sw!!!!:D

Thanks all, they're great, gave me a giggle too! I am preparing to print as I speak just hope it works.......

Hi ya God, I know how you feel. I have been on sw since Sept (although been on it several times before plus trying every other diet known to woman!) I still have 6 stone to lose. Sometimes it seems like a mountain to climb, but trying molehills one at a time. I'd love to climb each small...

I have hit a brick wall and I am going no where!!! I had decided to fill my home with inspirational quotes - I'll try anything! Does anyone have any good ones, I need all the help I can get. :sigh:

Sorry I meant to put this in the Slimming World Forum, can anyone move this for me? :o

I really want to get a grip with EE. As we have to snack mainly on super free foods does anyone have any ideas of ways to do this. I make a lot of veg soup which is full of SF foods but does anyone have any more ideas, I need all the help I can get (5 lb weight gain over christmas...

Hi Nat I have been here a few months, just not posted a great deal yet, still finding my feet. I have however read quite a few of your posts and your weight loss in 2009 is inspirational! I just want to get started with 2010 and I am hoping to lose 5 stone then. So lets all do this...

I want to lose 4 stone and to stay focused!:D

I do this too, I know you're not supposed to but its like a compulsion. Mind you I did it before I went to class. I can weigh up to 5 times a day! I can't believe how much my weight fluctuates, its amazing. I have heard that us girlies should really take our weight losses over a month not...

Thanks for those, they sound yum. Those plus Ricky Whittle, it could be a very yummie Strictly! Off to the supermarket to prepare........................:bliss:

Its that time of the week again. Before SW Saturday night used to mean Strictly, a box of maltezers or pringles and dips!! Well I still have Strictly but can't think what to do for snacks although I have done the veggies and Fromage Fraise dip. DH and DS still do the pringles thing but I really...

Yes you can freeze it, I have done. I just forgot to label mine and last time I made what I thought was chicken mushy pea curry, I actually used curried parsnip soup instead!! OOPS, I still ate it though, its amazing what I will eat when I am hungry!:o

Welcome aboard. If you don't like going to a class check in regularly here, you'll find lots of help and advice, I couldn't survive without it.:D

I also tend to use my syns in the same way to make my meals more interesting. I do though have a hot chocolate in the evening which helps with any sweet cravings I have. I know there not the real thing but they are only 2 syns and sometimes I add low fat sqirty cream. It helps me anyway.:)

I have just had a leaflet put through my door for Farmfoods. They are selling 1kg packs of chicken breasts or mini chicken fillets at 3 for £10. I am going to get some of these, as they are frozen individually they will be great for popping in my steamer for my lunch or for making a soup. Will...

This is a great idea and Somerfield are doing large chickens for £4.50 at the moment!!

We have all been there hun. The important thing is not to let it drag you down. Forget about it and try and focus again. I know its not easy, the important thing is you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again. Together we can do this!:talk017:

You look absolutely fab. I was having a bad day, but seeing you has made me realise it can be done and I have to keep going. Thank you!!!!!!!

Love it!!

I'm 5'4", 17st 7lbs and in a size 28 top and 26 bottom, although do have sizes 30-32 in wardrobe. Basically I wear what every will fit!

Vixxster, those mushrooms look gorgeous, how do you cook them?

Tomato, lentil and bacon soup Just tried this from extra easy book, very tasty. 198g lean bacon cut into bite size pieces 1 onion finely chopped 2 garlic cloves crushed 1ts grated ginger 2 sticks celery chopped 1 large potato cut into 1 cm dice 1 large carrot cut into 1 cm dice 908mls boiling...

Batchelors Savory Rice Morrisons have Batchelors Savory Rice on BOGOF at the moment. :D

Hi, can anyone tell me if Oatibix are an HEB. My friend and I have started class and my friend can't eat wheat, so she was hoping to have Oatibix for breakie only she can'f find them in the book and I have checked the website and can't find them either. We may just be being very dim...

Hi I went back to class yesterday and trying extra easy for first time. Hope your weigh in went well. Look forward to following your progress, we are all in this together.:D

I want to go into any shop and have choice, too many years I have been limited to one shop (you know the one). Haven't shopped in other high street shops since I was a teenager. Have more choice thats all I want! (Oh and maybe a tattoo if I am very brave.)

Well I started at class again last night. I have rejoined sw and others so many times but hey God loves a trier! I just feel that my head is finally in the right place to do this. Quite often before I have dreaded starting a new 'diet' but this time its going to be a life style change instead...

Thanks for all these lovely suggestions. I have a butternut squash in my kitchen calling my name, guess whats for lunch tomorrow!!

Thanks thats very helpful.

Hi can anyone tell me how many syns there are in Heinz Light Salad Cream. Like this on my salad but don't want to use too much! thanks

I now have my wii fit!! Thanks for the advise, I have already set my profile up and I think it will be really handy for me to keep track of my progress. The kids have had a lot of fun this afternoon with it, but they go back to school tomorrow and don't go back to work until Monday so hopefully...

WELL DONE! It makes all the difference when you see someone succeeding, the advertisements for slimming world are fine, but there is nothing like seeing it work for real. In improving yourselves you are effecting others as well!! Keep up the good work.

You have to look forward now. We have all been there and the only way to plan your future is to let the past go, the only really important thing is the present. Treat the present as what it is, its a present - aka a gift. Use it and move forward. The best thing you can do is go to class and use...

I'm in rainy Merseyside!! (think it probably going to be rainy everywhere at some point today!)

Not sure where to post this but if I ask nicely can I join the team. If I can what do I have to do?:)

I'm picking up my wii fit tomorrow and I'm very excited. Is it as good as it seems. Any advice for a beginner?

:confused: There are just some things in life that don't make sense and this is one of them. 6 stone loss, in anyones book that is a massive achievement. We you definately inspire me! Keep on with the fantastic work!!!

I can't afford class just at the moment too, but I know this site is going to give me the support I need and this particular thread has been very helpful. Put me straight on a few things I can tell you!! Thanks everyone.:D

Ok now feel really stupid, this is the introduction!!!!:o

I meant to put this in the introduction forum, this is all new to me, think its going to take me some time to get a handle on it!!! Sorry if it's in the wrong place.:o

Hi just thought I would introduce myself. I have been on a every diet know to man. I was put on my first one when I was 8 and now I am 46 thats nearly 40 years of constant dieting!! I have now finally come to the conclusion that I have to change my whole attitude to food and it has to be a...
