I've decided to bite the bullet and start a food diary on here after over 18 months of lurking since my last post. :o A bit about me... I'm 29 years old and joined Slimming World just before Christmas 2009 and lost 1 stone by the Spring. I then underwent IVF treatment over the course of 18...

Thank you everyone! :) Had group last night and I think it must've been my lucky night, as I... 1. Lost 2.5lbs! 2. Got my half stone award! 3. Got Slimmer of the Week! 4. Won the raffle! Wow. :) I was really pleased. :o

My major downfall, I think, is sweets. I am addicted to fruity/chewy sweets like Haribo and Fruit Pastilles. It's ALWAYS been a problem with me, and it's basically just pure sugar with very little in it to benefit me. I realised about a year ago that my addiction to these sweets is probably...

Lemon ones are 5.5 Syns, or a HEXB. :) I love the chocolate mint ones! Mmmm! Want to try the chocolate orange ones too but I've still got 3 lemon and 2 mint bars left from last week's group. Goodness knows how. :) I think it's cos I like to count them as HEXB instead of Syns, and I keep using...

Yum! :) I'm quite new to SW too (in my third week now) and I admit I'm still a bit sceptical, and will be until I get into the next stone bracket (11st-something, which I haven't been since I was about 18!)... But so many people at my group have had such a lot of success with SW so I'm...

Have been too busy to post lately but here's my update... I had my first weigh-in last Thursday and had lost 4.5lbs! :D:D:D I had my second weigh-in last night and had maintained... but at least I didn't gain. :) I'd been to a party at the weekend and had a bit too much chocolate dessert and...

I've decided not to keep a food diary on here as I don't have time to keep it updated, but I'm still keeping one for my consultant. :)

It was great, thank you! :o Sorry, I'm still getting used to this forum and couldn't find my thread to post an update... The group is lovely and extremely welcoming. Our consultant is really nice and it's a very positive, happy group of people. I'm really enjoying it. Just been to my third...

Wow, thank you for all your replies to this thread! I'm really sorry to hear that a lot of you have had the same trouble with your friends. :( Come to think of it, a couple of my friends said they were worried that I wouldn't be "cuddly" anymore! :( I don't want to be known as the "cuddly" one...

Try this... this serves 8 people so is enough to freeze! 1 large onion, chopped 1 stick celery, chopped 1 carrot, grated 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1lb Quorn mince 2 tins chopped tomatoes 5 fl oz boiling water stock cube 1 tbsp tomato purée (optional - 1/2 Syn) salt and pepper Fry the veg in a...

Day 2: EXTRA EASY I decided to do an Extra Easy day today and found it a lot easier, as the name suggests. :) Here is what I had today... Breakfast lean bacon tomato poached egg 1 slice wholemeal toast (400g loaf) - HEXB Lunch tuna salad (lettuce, grated carrot, grated beetroot, yellow...

Day 1: RED Well today was my first day of Slimming World EVER! I found it interesting, frustrating, confusing, strange, and a load of other things. I kept having cravings for my usual snacks and I knew I couldn't "afford" them. But I want to do this. I NEED to do this. Here is what I had...

Just found this thread... can anyone confirm whether this homemade Fry Light works and is Syn-free? My partner has a soya allergy, and there's soya lecithin in Fry Light. :( It's a preservative. We don't want to go down the route of cooking meals separately so surely it would be okay to mix 50%...

I've finally done it! I've taken the first step and joined Slimming World. I can hardly believe I actually went to a group last night. :) I'm really proud of myself, actually. I weighed in at a start weight of 13st 3lbs which is 10lbs heavier than I thought I was. I guess it was at the end of...

I joined Slimming World last night and my weekly weigh-in is Thursday evening. I'm going to be keeping a food diary, for myself and also to show my consultant every week. I've never followed any sort of healthy eating plan or diet before, so this is all VERY new to me. I'm a bit scared. But...

Well I'm absolutely terrified but I'm going to go to my first Slimming World class in about an hour.:cry: REALLY nervous... more nervous than I thought I'd be. :( I may still chicken out like I did last week... I just feel embarrassed or something. I don't know what the feeling is. I have...

I am naturally of quite a slim build... I'm one of those people who looks bulgy and awkward with extra weight on me. Like it doesn't sit in the right places... it does with some people. My face, neck and shoulders are that of an average-slim person (which is why I don't mind portrait photos of...

I am new here and I'm REALLY sorry if this is discussed a lot, but I didn't do very well when I tried to search for it. :confused: I am having a lot of trouble with people who have found out I'm starting Slimming World and keep saying "You don't need to lose weight" or "But you're not fat"...

Thank you! Thank you so much everyone for the lovely warm welcome! It's really made me feel at home here. :) To be honest I don't have much confidence in any area of my life so going to group on Thursday is going to be a big challenge. Even phoning the consultant beforehand will be difficult...

Hi everyone! I'm Bonstar, I'm 27 years old and I live in Yorkshire. I'm planning on going to Slimming World this Thursday (12th) for the first time. :confused: I was going to start last week but chickened out at the last minute! I'm sooooo nervous! I have never followed any sort of diet or...
