Exercise dvd done yesterday morning, I had a meal out yesterday with family at my mums. I'm sure I ended up going way over yesterday. I had a late night so no dvd this morning but I will go for a long walk. Breakfast is just a coffee today as I ate quite late last night and I'm really not...

No exercise dvd this morning but I did go for a long brisk walk. Food was porridge again for breakfast, pasta with 1tblsp pesto and salad, yoghurt, dinner is chicken and veg plus 2 pieces of dark choc later. I always seem to get slack on the weekends. I'm really going to try to stay strong and...

Exercise dvd done :) Breakfast is porridge with blueberries, lunch soup and sandwich, dinner spaghetti, prawns, rocket, salad. Snacks are yoghurt and fruit.

I've done an exercise dvd this morning. Yay! My food plan for today is - porridge and blueberries, warburtons thin salad sandwich and soup, chicken casserole

Today I had no breakfast (in a rush at work), lunch was baked potato and beans, dinner was veg rice with tandoori chicken and a liberte yoghurt. no snacks :)

I'm aiming to get rid of 3 stones of weight following simple start. I've started the day with a bowl of porridge and blueberries, lunch is a warburton thins chicken and salad sandwich with some soup, dinner is chickpea curry with brown rice followed by strawberries and yoghurt. I hope that...

Yes, I'm definitely easing myself into it. Thanks for the whipping, er I think :) At least I've cut out all the rubbish snacking. Honestly some days I used to eat all day long. I've really cut down and I'm drinking lots more water so thats an improvement. I'll get stricter next week.

Hi! I have 2 young kids so I'm always cooking, baking, preparing snacks. It's hard as I'm very weak willed. I've already had some sneaky snacks today that I shouldn't. I need a serious kick up the butt :-) Today, I had my shake then I had some toast which I know is a no no but its the...

Wow Sheena! Thats brill! Well done! Do you feel and look slimmer? I'm still trying. I still can't do TS but am trying as best I can with some low carbs meals in the evenings. I did a sneaky weigh in and have lost 2lbs since Monday but will weigh properly on Mon morning.

Thats pretty much the Working Solution, isn't it?

Day 6 Sheena! Well done. I think thats a remarkable achievement in itself! I don't know how long I'll last. I do struggle but I do think the best plan for me is a shake for breakfast, a bar for lunch then a low carb meal in the evening. I can just about bear that!

To me, it would just make sense to wait. Although I am doing exante myself in the short term, I think there may be potential dangers/side effects of artificial sweeteners and chemicals and I wouldn't like to pass any on to my baby. They may not be able to tolerate the levels we can. If you're...

I don't think you should be doing this while breast feeding. I'd suggest cut out the junk and reduce carbs while bf then start ws when you stop.

Two days down! I think they went ok but I am finding this really difficult. I've always eaten loads and have never been fat so its really hard for me to adjust to this. I'm resisting food I know I can't have quite well. Even the cakes but it's very hard. Sheena the visualisation techniques...

Great thanks! :) Now to try to fight the temptation to have some baked cheesecake that my in laws bought round yesterday and the left over hummingbird cake for my husbands birthday! I will be strong :)

Hi. I'm still trying to get into it! I went to a wedding yesterday so the less said about that the better. Today I had a shake for breakfast, a bar for lunch and when I got home from work, I was so hungry that I couldnt wait to do a shake so had some chicken that I'd cooked yesterday. Thats...

Fatty medicine...a good way to look at it. I have tried so many different diets in the past couple of years to get rid of 2 stones of baby weight and I couldn't stick to anything for more than a week or so. I'm so hoping this will work for me. I'll just keep posting on this board and...

Wow Getslimquick thats a pretty impressive weight loss. Well done you! I put another order in today for their weekly mixed pack so will try the bars and soups in that. The shakes were ok and I am pleased that day 1 is done :)

Lol at your bf chasing you with ice cream. I think going into hiding is probably the best thing to do if you can manage it for a while. There is no way you can go to a family do and get away with having just a black coffee or diet coke. You will definitely get chased around with food and the...

Thanks. I've had 2 shakes today and so far so good though I am feeling hungry! I'll just have to ride it out as me next and final shake will be at around 6. Does everyone else just do shakes only or is it a mixture of the bars and soups?

Sheena82 I think I might switch to the one meal a day version of Exante if I've got something going on and have a low carb meal. I hope that'll work.

TripleWhopper I don't know how old you are but you sound young and idealistic to me. I've been with my husband for over 15yrs, married for 12. We definitely love each other and trust each other but that doesn't mean we have to share everything and live in each others pockets. My husband loves...

Kay80 how do you deal with the dinner parties? I find dieting difficult in general as there's always something going on! Every week there seems to be some kind of family gathering or wedding. It always throws me off track. Thats why I decided to do Exante. I'm hoping that the losses during the...

My husband doesn't know I'm starting this tomorrow. I'm not going to tell him either as I know he won't like it. He works late every day so I can get away with it during the week and I'm going to do the one meal version of the diet on the weekends and just tell him I'm low carbing. It's not...

I received my 1st weeks pack today so I'm starting tomorrow. I have 2 stone to lose and I'm really excited that I will finally get rid of it. How much can I expect to lose in the 1st week?

Ah I see. That makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks thats good to know. So I'll probably be able to eat like I already do? ie fairly healthy and around 1800 cals a day. Not enough to lose weight but fine to maintain.

I've heard that vlcd put your body into starvation mode and you gain all the weight back. After I had children I was 3 stone overweight. I lost 1 stone but can't seem to shift this 2 stone. I don't tend to gain weight and eat fairly ok with odd bits of junk thrown in but I pretty much maintain...

Hi. I'm doing this too. I'm on day 4. I did it last summer and I can tell you, its really, really good. If you stick to it, you'll see some amazing results by the end of 2 weeks. I'm trying to do it every morning for 6 days a week.

Thanks thats really helpful. I'll go and have a look at the diary too.

I want to do this for a 2 week kick start. I'm 5'2" so I don't think its drastically low but can anyone with any experience give me suggestions of what I can eat for my meals please? I'd like the diet to be as healthy and filling as possible please.

Thank you all for your advice. I've always eaten loads. I never had a weight problem til I had kids and its really hard to cut back. Although I eat loads, I don't seem to put weight on but I know I have to cut right down to lose it. I'll keep trying :)

Yes, I'm trying extra easy. Thanks for looking at that. The consultant didn't really emphasise that. I thought it seemed too good to be true! I shall add more veg to my meals.

Today I ate 1 small slice toast, no spread, marmite apple large portion of brown rice and chickpeas packet of snackajacks banana 3 laughing cow extra light cheese very large salmon fillet (baked with soy sauce, grated ginger, frylight, large portion of mushy peas (homemade, no fat) I feel...

I love rice and would love some ideas of quick and easy dishes I could make. Thanks.

Thank you very much! That'll make planning my day easier :)

Sorry, I didn't know.

Hello everyone. I'm going to give slimming world another go as I've been slacking so much lately, I can feel my jeans getting tighter and tighter. I've been shopping today and I've stocked up on healthy foods and bought the current issue of the magazine so I feel well prepared. A couple of...

Thank you :)

I have some tinned peaches in juice. Can someone tell me the syns please?

Can I use a spray bottle with normal olive oil rather than frylite? I'm not a fan of milk. Can I have a natural fat free yoghurt as a he? How many syns in a Yeo Valley fat free yoghurt? Sorry so many questions. I want to start asap but my 1st class is on Thurs. Thanks.

I'd love to join this challenge! I'm just starting out for the first time on slimming world and trying to get my head around it. I agree with everyone who says it doesn't seem like a diet :) Charlottegrace weight to loose 10lb 0 lost so far Nikkiwales weight to loose 9lb 0 lost so far...

Thanks. I'm still in disbelief but I'll try it :)

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I did SW after my first child and lost most of my baby weight. I had my 2nd child 2 years ago and think its about time to lose all the weight! I remember all the stuff about green and red days etc but I was wondering if anyone would mind explaining Extra...
