Thanks everyone - its been a snap decision as our holiday is now 5 months away! A chocolate bar a day doesn't do any good :lol:

:wave_cry: wish I wasn't back in the nicest possible way but I am! I did SW last year in the run up to our wedding in December and got to target - loosing 25lbs - I've not put 20lbs back on since the wedding and I need to get back on track! I don't have time to go back to class so I'm doing it...

ok, how do SW let you set your target? I'm now in a Healthy BMI is does this mean I can set it? and if I choose to lower my target? is their a minimum target I can set i.e. my target is 10 stone - would the minimum new target be 7lbs lower? do I have to start paying again if I re-set my...

.. it's gonna cost too much! :eek: As much as I want to continue my weight loss and have been doing really well! My clothes over the past 4 weeks have become so loose, that I'm wearing my OH's belts with my jeans (I don't own any belts) or I'm constantly pulling my trousers up or can take them...

BUT IF they do change it (the plan I mean) and the way it is now IS working for you, don't fix your plan! Do what works for you, whether that be the new plan, EE, green, red, WW whatever - you know the basics, you have the books, you have the support on here and at class so do what works for YOU!

:o But it was bloody fantastic! My bridesmaids created a weekend to remember and made me cry on many occassions! [with happiness I might add] My first dress fitting on Friday has resulted in the dress needing to be taken in 4" on the bust alone! :eek: but I still love it and can't wait to...

1lb off for me!

chocolate day!

exactly that - it goes on your height v's weight. It says as a general rule 6lbs = 1 BMI - so you'll probably need to loose another 6lbs to be in the "healthy" range thanks everyone - looking forward to WI tonight so I can colour some baubles!

went and bought a bag of mini babybel and was walking back to work and thought I'd have one. Ripped open the netting bag and all but one made a mad dash for freedom/advertising purposes and rolled onto the road/under cars, bounced at fellow walkers would it be classed as littering as I just...

yay - well done lucy - fab result - haven't tried the smash pizza - seem abit bleurgh to me!

Chicken with SW chips and salad with a fresh warm crusty roll

Thanks all! I'm just going to continue as I am - doing well :D - sod him lol Jester - I'm in sutton but go to the Portobello Street Class.

How we all feeling? Good luck for seeing less of yourself on the scales!:D

well I scraped in but I've done it! I got a healthy BMI for my first dress fitting (tomorrow) still have a few lbs to go for my wedding target but woohoo!!! Also this should mean a loss tonight at WI! but woohoo :woohoo:

He does want weight to loose - yes he has a higher BMI but the sport and position he plays require a higher weight. I think he's lovely as he is but if he wants to loose weight then I'll support him and it's only fair that I expect support back. We share the cooking but as he also works in a...

Ok, so last night OH asked if he could do SW with me - not a problem - may make life easier! He HAS to have meat everyday (is this a male thing to make them feel manly?) so it'd be EE or Original Anyway, he then started to ask about how many extra HE's he could have as he does lots of...

nando's i.e. no skin on chicken is ok on a red day! the dip and the pitta are your syns

thats why I've planned my dress fitting for the same day - so I know I can't put weight on - try to keep me on track! apart from the alcohol and curry I think I can keep on track(ish) Friday - Chicken Biriyani - with all the extra's! and copious alcohol consumed - over 100 syns :o Saturday...

It’s my Hen Weekend – I’d like to think I’d be good but the chances are slim! :o Friday I try on my wedding dress for my first fitting, then in the evening 23 of us are off for a curry, drinks and dancing. Saturday is Nando’s (dinner), eat all you want restaurant (tea) and weatherspoons...

every 2 weeks I do a healthy cookery session at work and with me now doing slimming world, obviously I've been doing slimming world recipes! Today we did.... Yogurt scones - yum! Citus Cheesecake - a little tangy but again yum! Pasta Turkey Gratin - loving this a tupperware meal for work...

I have 7 weeks to get to target for our wedding, then we go to New York for a week, back for a week, christmas - I'll be happy if I start the new year at my current weight but as long I keep in the 10's or below, I'll be happy!:)

is bachorlers savory rice's free?> :drool:

As temptation goes - I think I draw the worst luck! I actually run my own business (as well as work full time) creating and decorating wedding and celebration cakes. It is hard to resist licking the bowl out, eating the offcuts and taking a spoon to the buttercream! Not to mention resistsing...

It's my godson's birthday today and I've made him a cake and cupcakes - how am I going to resist them when I take them to his tea party tonight? does anyone have a food diary I can print off and write on?

any it wasn't even worth it!:mad: I don't know whats it's been but I've just wanted to eat everything and all the wrong things.. For instance yesterday I snacked on; Picnic Chocolate bar, half a bucket of candy floss, 4 brandy snap rolls, 4 babybels, bacon sandwiches, full-fat dumplings in my...

I set my target at 10stone - nice and round lol and within my healthy BMI - from past experience, it's also an easy weight to maintain for myself without sticking to any diet strictly. Although I need to be aware otherwise I put 2 stone lol (past experience!)

well done on your fantastic weight loss! 34% of your body weight OMG!!! You seem to have thought about the change which is really good and I wish you well on SW - keep posting!

I'm 5'4, weight 10 stone 7lb and wear a size 14 all over!

hello fellow bride to be! I can totally relate! our wedding is in 54 days and it has been an uphill struggle but I've tried so hard to please everyone else and at times it has left me in tears! You really need to do what you want to do! I had the same with my dress but from my MIL2B, she...

:break_diet: This weekend has seen an ginormous amount of synful food consumed! My daily "sneeky peek" confirms that naughtiness! I have eaten way too much of the wrong foods and had people staying the weekend! It all started on friday when OH agreed we would go to Nando's for dinner but...

I'd love to see some... work in progress stories i.e. in Take a break, they follow thestories of women through IVF/cancer. Why can't slimming world get a members with various weights and follow their stories, so it doesn't make us all feel like the mag is only achieveable for target members...

nope, not hungry! I have massive portions, so when the recipes reads serves 4, I have 2 portions. Oh and I also have my veg with the meals or a salad garnish On Thursday I had.... 2 Alpen Light Bars - HEb 3 babybel lights - HEa Cranberry Hi Fi Bar- - HEb skimmed milk in tea - HEa Chicken...

yep yep yep! and have also avoided going for that reason! It's a fat week this week and although I've lost 22lbs and have 6lbs to go - I still feel fat and it's demoralising! keep at it though hun - it's struggle but isn't everything that we want in life?

I work with the Gypsy and Traveller community as my day job and run my own cake decorating business from home making wedding and celebration cakes.

I find the hardest meal is breakfast! It's because I don'tlike using syns this early in the morning and I'm usually using 2 of my HE on milk and weetabix. I have sometimes had a mullerlight and a banana or 2 Alpen light (HEB) Give me some inspiration!

they are free, so stuff your face! Only the layred mullerlights are synful which would be the cherry and chocolate from this variety pack! the orange/vanill with choccy bits are free and are a godsend to me!

this is the packaging - I'll try and find a better pic!

I bought 2 packs on saturday - haven't tried them yet!

I have a new recipe to try everyday this week and will be following easy extraas OH is home every night this week and HAS to have meat! I did the Beef fillets with a mustard sauce from the EE cookbook on saturday which was lovely and only 0.5syns! Tonight is Chicken keiv with chips!

I have to admit I have a peek everyday! and use my wii fit too! I find that if it shows a gain,I get more determined and stick to the plan 100%.I do know I have a 4 week weight loss cycle and some weeks no matter what I can't loose and another week I can eat for england and loose 2lb+ easily...

I have been synful :break_diet: well after a not so good weekend - I need to get back on track! Unfortunately I won't be able to make the gym much this week as we are redecorating 2 rooms before guests come at the weekend! This weekend was mostly within my dailysyns until I had a fruit and...

wow thats fantastic and really cool that you noticed by accident! well done on your great weight loss!

ok, so for the first time whilst on SW I'm going to Morrisons to do our weekly shop - what bargains are to be had? whatare the must haves? what are those free sausages I've heard people say about?

I'm about to sit down with the recipe books and magazine to menu plan for this week as I need to do a 'big' shop

OK, very happy to be having this scenario! I get married in 9 weeks and have my first dress fitting in 3 weeks time. I ordered my dress in April weighing 10lbs heavier than I am now. 2 weeks later they rang and offered me the sample dress which was a size too big (but I thought fitted me)...

2lbs off for me! :)

I'm not staying for the party now - full of cold, so am going to walk to class, get weighed and get a DVD from next door and them go home and loaf on the sofa!

coffeepot, don't skip class, it'll motivate you to get back on track and as you say you don't know where you've gone wrong so have a chat with your consultant! Plus yours scales might be out and it might not be so bad!

we're having our party tomorrow. I'm making the controversal pasta crisps with a syn free salsa!

well I'm SWing at club and have also restarted my wii fit. I set a target 2 weeks ago to have a BMI of 25.25 by tomorrow - this morning it read 25.33 :clap: meaning I've lost 5lbs in 2 weeks with a tiny bit to go and I'll be back in the "healthy" range! How chuffed am I! this also means...

today I bought 3 cooking apples - what can I make that's low syn?

so how did you do? I managed 1lb though wasn't at class last week and my Wii Fit says I'd put on 2lbs last week so consider I have had a good week (-3lbs)!

I vaguely remember last time I went to class, someone saying that Asda's own great stuff angle delight was 1.5syns for half a pack but can't find anything online and when I use the calculator it comes our at 4syns per 1/4 pack - help? the flavours I have bought are.... Strawberry Butterscotch...

so it's now 73 days till I become Mrs B!, with 12lbs to go before my first dress fitting in 4 weeks :o hows everyone else getting on? / plans going?

On EE does every meal need to have an element of green AND red? I did a cookery class today and used 2 slimming world recipes both from the new magazine. One was free on EE, the other was free on GREEN - I had half a portion of each as my lunch - have I buggered today or am I still on EE?

please don't say that! I made these as a low syn snack to stop me being naughty!

ooohhh, this sounds lovely! another thing added to my shopping list

for the amount in the pic, you need 2 pasta lasagne sheets, boil them for 5 minutes and then cut into the triangle shapes. Place on a baking tray and spray with frylight and sprinkle with your flavouring - these were salted and baked in the oven on 220' for 3 minutes, then turn over and spray...

well I just made some and YUM YUM YUM - filled my naughty craving! First time I've made them and didn't realise how filling and easy they'd be! Free on a green - just your frylight to syn!

oooohhhh, found popping corn - how good/bad is that?

no such luck as it having any in :( I do have a mullerlight yoghurt and some banana's:rolleyes:

I'm desperate for syns; I need wine and chocolate! but I already know that theirs a gain coming tomorrow!:o I was VERY lucky to have STS last week and it caught up with me this week plus I've not been great, although since monday I have! I've had my HEA's & B's and have used 10 syns - I've...

I've just bought some quorn products from asda that were on special - never tried it so thought I would give it a go and for £1 a bag, if I don't like it hey ho Quorn chicken fillet pieces Quorn Crispy Chicken style nuggets much appreciated - I don't have this weeks password as consultant...

can I just say that your mums new scales will not be calabrated with your SW ones and so may not be showing your true weight! wait until WI before you get too dis-heartend! I have sneekt peeks on my scales at homes but I know that 1lb out compared to the SW ones so I allow for that!

Thank you Vizzster - they were just the stern words I needed but everyone is too polite to say :o best also get my pen and paper out and start my food diary!

OK, so I did a mid week sneeky weigh in at home and I've put on 4lbs! :( I can put my hand on heart and say I know where it has come from.... not been to the gym for 10 days have each chocolate bars (which I hadn't been) have not followed the plan! make hardly drank any water. This being my...

Maybe a little late but I went to Pizza Hut last week and everyone ordered the Pizza Buffet, I asked for the Salad buffet and piled my plate high! Great for green days! I had massive ammount of salad, plain pasta, morocan cous cous and new potatoes - was stuffed! Very low syn value!

Hello I'm new here :o! I started SW back in Jan and lost 17lbs in 3 months but fell off the wagon. I started back 4 weeks ago and have lost of 7lbs I put on when I fell from the wagon! Anyway, going to my friends tonight (also a SW member) and need to take some tea - both on a green day -...
