I broke my own golden rule last night and peeked at the scales... according to them I've gained 4lbs in as many days!!! :cry: I've been being sooooo good, I wasn't supposed to weigh myself until Friday but had to look, seeing as I did so well in my first week (7lbs off) Now I feel like...

Fab loss, well done xxx

lmao me being a gullible fool my first thought was "sod SW I want this womans diet..." lol, naughty scales giving false hope :p

Aw good luck staying on plan in spain... I'm sure you will be fine, as someone else said, find a hypermarket and stock up on low fat healthy options. I've never been to Spain either but if it is anything like the EU countries we went through en-route to Bulgaria some things (such as fresh...

Aww thank you all so much for the messages :) Loving slimming world again now hehe, nothing going stop me this time... I even have the neighbour upstairs interesting in starting lol.. :D xxxx

I weighed myself today after my first week back on SW, I was convinced I wouldn't have lost any weight (been off plan too long and was dubious all over again about eating this much pasta and potato) so I'm really, really happy now... Got on scales this morning and am 7lbs lighter!! That's...

Thank you guys... this really helps.. I love milk lol!! Unfortunately can't get skimmed milk that tastes nice here... all the milk out here is uht lol... xxx

It's shopping day tomorrow and so I'm running low on lots of my health extra items... Just wondering, is it OK to use double my milk allowance and call it two healthy extras? So instead of 250ml semi skimmed for hexa i would have 500ml for both my hexa's?? Hope so but as am unsure thought...

Thanks guys, I used the olive oil as a heb and assumed it would be ok as i don't think i sprayed anywhere near a tbsp over the potatoes tbh lol... now i know it worked okay ill stick with it, happy to use a heb for chips, and not going to have them that often hehe.... thank you for the links xxx

WOW... Thanks hun... guess I'll be leaving them in the fridge for a while hehe... Had no idea they'd be so high in syns... Glad I checked before just assuming it'd be alright lol x

Does anyone know the syn values for ice tea? The bottled kind such as NesTea or Lipton, I love these drinks and so far have been avoiding them since starting SW again as I can't find syn info anywhere... If anyone has any idea of the syns I'd be very grateful :)

I used it once to make a creamy pasta sauce for a SW carbonarra type thing lol, it seperated and went a kind of orange-y colour lol... Baking it *might* have a different effect, though... Personally I would try using ricotta or low fat soft cheese (philly extra light, eg.) mixed with a little...

Store bought pre-cooked pasta wouldn't be free, could you maybe make your own pasta the night before? blitz up some tinned tomatoes with some basil, mix it all together and chuck it in a tupperware pot? take a seperate pot of cheese as a hea, 2 mins in microwave and you got a tasty, syn free...

Well done that's a really good loss :)

lol it did come back before morning... according to the OH in middle of the night for long enough for him to wash up lol... it's gone again now though... trying to think of meals that make little washing up... clever OH bottled up tons of water when it was still on so I have water to cook...

Totally different out here hun, they don't tell us a thing lol... although to be honest our building doesn't even have a mailbox so they couldn't inform us if they wanted too... It's still off, and it's gone 10pm here now so I'm not banking on it coming back tonight... I reallllly need a...

Have you been following green, red or ee? You could try coming up with more exciting and different recipes to make the plan more exciting? What motivated you to start dietting? Try remember some of the things that inspired you in the first place... For me, my first goal is getting into a...

I woke up late this morning to discover the lovely waterboard have switched of the supply to our district again today... I work from home and so the need for a shower wasn't (as) pressing lol... I decided due to it being almost midday breakfast had passed me by so I made some ricotta and...

I was shocked too, but I looked at the list of sauces in the booklet thing and that's what it said... :D

Big hello from me too :)

I have searched high and low and FryLite is not available out here unfortunately. My OH reckons it's the act of spraying the sunflower/olive oil that makes it low fat and that it would be much the same to spray normal oil over things... so long as I used it sparingly... I'm not so sure...

It's very different... lovely weather and beautiful countryside which is wonderful :) The food is very different, a lot of things you can't buy here that make slimming world a lot easier lol... We've been here 3 months and are still settling in and adapting to a lot of it lol... This winter...

I used a random selection of stuff from my shelf lol... I only measure the syn-able items so sorry it's not exact amounts lol... A fairly large splash of soy sauce, A splash of worcestershire sauce, A tiny drip of tobasco sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (1 syn) A shake of garlic powder, I...

Hello peeps, Not sure who will remember me, I was on this forum at the end of last year and doing fairly well with slimming world... Well the new year came, my diet went out the window and I'm back to 17stone 6lbs again... eeeek!!! I've emigrated in that time and now live in Bulgaria...

thanks for all suggestions... will try a few and let u know how i get on hehe... cheers ladies xxxx

I seem to really struggle with breakfast on this diet.. I don't like to use up healthy extras that early on.. i prefer EE, and always end up having a yogurt and some muesli (HEb) in it or cereal with milke (HEa)... i'm not a fan of fruit especially in the mornings... any ideas for something a...

i *think* it's a way of super speeding your weightloss. I think they tailor some sort of plan specifically for you based on your height, weight, etc. but i'm not sure... would be interested to find out details myself hehe :-) xxx

mine says 3 slices nimble wholemeal bread.

Certainly not!!! Mind you I hate my father so it's a good job really lol... Reminds of the saying people look like their pets... in which case I resemble a jet black fluffy cat haha xxx

thanks ladies... OH threw it out while tidying up so it's off the menu again anyway lol... *sulk* xx

had a chinese last night to celebrate... am back on sw today (boo hiss lol) but have some bbq sauce left from last night... does anyone know the approx syn value as i'd love to be able to have it with some free chips... if anyone knows i'd appreciate it... thanks guys xxxx

There were no rings we liked so are going again monday lol... the only one i did like didn't quite fit... the woman tried assuring me that as i am losing weight it will fit in the end... but i want one i can wear now lol... details?? lol.. We were in bed Thurs night after a looooong, but...

aww thanks all... need to get a train to town so still hanging around at home getting myself all over excited... i was unable to stick to the diet plan today cos i need to eat to celebrate... i've promised myself ill be super strict next week tho hehe.. thanks for all your lovely...

aww hun!! I totally see your point, it's not the nicest way to eat all the time! What will you be doing for food now while you are at work? Maybe we can come up with ideas to help you... I know that I lost weight a few years ago by just calorie AND fat counting... i allowed myself 1500 cals and...

my OH hates make up even when done subtly, he also doesn't like artificial scents and perfumes. I can never be bothered applying makeup and am happy so long as my hair looks okay and I'm wearing something that suits me. People worry too much about the small things in life. My goal is to be...

Just seen another thread abotu healthy extras where it's cleared up... apparantly cheese is a b on green days because of the protein in it lol... thanks for helping me though, relieved I've not been getting it all wrong hehe xxxxx

haha just been talking about this on the other thread (is this ok) relieved that I have been doing it right lol hehe xxx

The slimming world e-book. It says that cheese is a HEb on green days... and I thought because It's EE I could use healthy extras from either/both original or green so long as I only had one a and one b....

On my form it has cheddar in both a and b sections... panicking now...

Well done :-) xxx

the cheese i had with tea was my HEb :-) I don't think I could eat any more than I am lol... I feel like I'm eating tons! I thought curly wurly's were 6.5... the info I have says they are, must of reduced the syns i guess? Nice surprise lol :-) xxxx

After reading the simple explanaiton of an EE day I have decided to try it... It feels like I'm going wrong because of how much I can eat so wanted to check with some of you that this really is OK lol... Breakfast: Mullerlight Lunch: Lean pork cooked in fry-light, added stir fry veg and...

thank you all for your replies and ideas, am definitly going to take some free snacks in my bag to be going on with... i probably won't say anything to her cos i don't know her very well and don't want to cause a fuss... she is a lovely woman but i still would feel funny about being picky lol...

This Thursday we are spending the day at my partners dad's house. We will be there for lunch and dinner. I'm not sure what to do... 1) They don't usually eat at regular times and most times I've been there they won't eat any lunch at all so then you're starving at dinner and gorge... 2) I...

Before I started SW my favourite dinner was linguine carbonarra. I used to dice up gammon, cook it and add double cream and parmesan... pour over linguine and i was in heaven lol.. I am trying desperately not to have a chinese this weekend so thought I'd to a healthier version of my carbonarra...

I second that... I don't go to classes either and fine this forum really helpful! Love hearing about other peoples success stories, it's a real inspiration! xx

I've only bought one (only just started sw a couple weeks ago)... it's the 40th birthday issue... is that the new one? Or is another one due next week? xx

Thanks Sarah-Jayne... I'm looking forward to learning... resisting the urge to buy an adult sized rubber ring tho lol :) xx

Totally agree with you... before depo i never had trouble losing weight when I put my mind to it, now it is a battle.. I think it does something to screw up the metabolism or something... I been off it since april and still not had a period, altho every few weeks I bloat massively (to the point...

Im on a mini-pill called cerzette... I've not had any problems yet thankfully... Just wanted to chip in and warn you incase you end up considering depo provera (injection every three months)... I had two shots and it was the worst thing i ever did!! I put on 2 stone in 4 months (ish) and had...

I'm sure loads of you already do this or similar but I discovered it the other day when I was craving biscuits (for me one or two doesn't do it, i need half a pack lol)... I sliced banana (i guess any fruit would work) in a bowl, poured over vanilla mullerlight, and then crumbled a ginger nut...

Thanks for all the gym suggestions... might consider it in future :) JestersTear, the boxing workout on Wii is really good at heping keep you motivated, you get a date stamp on the games calendar every day you workout and the more you do the more points you earn (points unlock new...

Been wondering this myself... Does this mean I could have all the pasta/rice I wanted AND as much meat as I fancied too?? Sounds too good to be right lol xxx

What excerises do people like? What is the best for boosting weight loss?.. I have been doing wii cardio workout... It's a boxing workout and is really quite fun.. shattering tho lol.. Any other suggestions? I don't like gyms as I hate being the fatty lol.... also hate the fees!

well done.. great loss!! x

I usually have a mullerlight mixed with 28g alpen... this does mean using 1 HEb but I love it lol... even before I started SW I almost always had muesli n yoghurt for brekkie... or i suppose if you wanted a big breakfast you could have quorn sausages with egg and beans.. this would be free on a...

Thanks for the replies... ended up using 4 on a hot chocolate last night anyway cos i realised i had loads of my milk allowance left lol... Definitly want a chinese friday... but don't know if i would feel too guilty after... (i always have the unhealthiest things on the menu lol) xxx

I can't bare to look.. I'm doing SW from home so am having to weigh myself every friday anyway but hate going on the scales!! I couldn't bare to look unless I have to... Those things are against me (along with every shop window I come across lol) xx

I've not managed to have any syns today... muller light for brekkie, quorn sausage, mash n beans for lunch, and then pasta using my HE cheese for supper plus a banana as a snack ... im totally full up, have had all my HEs and don't want anything else to eat lol... could i save the syns toward...

wish i was behaved enough to limit myself to water lol... i drink gallons of diet coke!! xx

Just made up a lovely dinner by mixing 85g low fat soft cheese with pasta and then topping with 28g grated cheddar. I counted both of the cheeses as my two healthy extras... Now I'm worrying that it is not OK to use both of your HE as cheese.. I don't go to meetings so am still learning the...

I was wondering the same thing.. only used a tiny amount of mine in tea lol... Glad I saw this thread because I had kind of assumed it'd be ok to carry it over lol... Thanks xx

Hello again people :wavey: Just wondering if anyone has any nice suggestions for what I can mix with CousCous... I like the store bought stuff thats already made up and tastes scrummy lol but I am aware that it is packed with syns and all sorts lol... What do you guys add to keep it free (or...

Thanks ladies :) xx

I weighed myself today after my first week of slimming world and have lost 5lbs!! Im so chuffed!! :party0011: Hope to keep it going hehe... Have a quick question if no one minds... Is ASDA meat free mince the same as quorn? i.e. is it free?? I have assumed so, but am learning to assume nothing...

Thank you... that helps... Now I'm on track with that I might actually lose a couple of pounds this week lol... Thanks :) xx

Hiya, I just joined this forum hoping to find help and make new weight loss buddys lol.. I am doing slimming world using their book (i can't afford the meetings plus there isn't one very near to me). I have been eating low fat natural yogurt thinking it is a free food, but now I realise the...
