Happened to me too - if it carries on do go to the doctors though as they may be able to prescribe you something to stop it.

Ooh, that looks gorgeous - may have to try it tonight!

So have been in hospital for the past 2 days - now the proud owner of a bionic wrist with a plate and 10 pins! Mainly been surviving on chocolate as the only food I was given I couldn't eat - e.g. toast - try buttering that with one arm in a sling! Anyway, back on it as of tomorrow - I will not...

Thanks all, some good ideas. Think I need to get an electric can opener pronto. At the moment the way the cast is, I can't use my bad arm at all but this may change if it gets operated on - I find out at fracture clinic tomorrow.

I broke my wrist pretty badly a couple of days ago whilst skiing - now home and probably looking at an operation later in the week. I live alone and am really struggling to think of meals that can be prepared and eaten one handed! Since I got home last night I've managed wine, a microwave curry...

Forgot to do mine last week - 2lbs - can't work out how to update it and keep the colours though - can someone update for me or tell me how to do it?!

Yes please - I want to get 6 lbs off before I go skiing on the 23rd Jan, and then not put any on whilst I'm away! Fillimum 7lbs+(0lost,7lb+ to go ) Crumble 10lbs (0 lost, 10lbs to go) Louise K 10lbs (0 lost, 10lbs to go) jenniferyellowhat 10lbs (0 lost, 10lbs to go) camsmum (Not Specified)...

It does tend to curdle a bit after reheating but still tastes fine so depends on whether you are bothered how it looks!

I'm going skiing for a week over Christmas and we're in a catered chalet so will have very little control over what I eat. My tactic is going to be avoiding pudding as much as possible, trying to have healthier options such as porridge for breakfast (rather than croissants or cooked breakfast)...

Well, Harry Potter was brilliant and I resisted the pick and mix. The meal afterwards was, as predicted, fantastic. Had mussels in a tomato and chilli sauce for starter (guess would have had some oil in but otherwise not too bad) then had a perfectly cooked (well, blue!!!) fillet steak with a...

Going to see Harry Potter this evening (very excited!!) then out to dinner to a restaurant I have been wanting to go to for ages. Going to resist the bag of pick and mix that I'd usually trough but there is no way I will be within syns at the restaurant....especially having looked at the wine...

Yep it's the potato - I was sceptical too but honestly it really works! Had the rest for lunch today and stirred in some fat free natural yogurt which made it even tastier.

Sounds silly but at almost 6ft tall I'm always likely to be the tallest in a group of women and I can't change that....but I don't want to be the fattest too! Short term, I want to fit into my ski trousers by the time I go skiing at Christmas.

Just made this for lunch - thick, creamy and VERY filling. 1 onion, chopped 1 large potato, peeled and chopped into small pieces 1 head of broccoli, chopped into small florets 400mls boiling water (this makes a very thick soup so add more if you want) Veg OXO cube Pinch each of salt...

Hello and welcome! Very impressive start, keep it up!

Ha ha, love the arse kicking, thanks!! You're right, I'm still under 15 syns for the day (just) so will congratulate myself for that....in fact, I may have enough for a sneaky Options later!

Amazing, you must be dead chuffed. Very jealous of you as I squeeze into my 16s! Keep up the good work...

I find protein is the best thing to stop me getting the mid morning munchies. Bacon sarnies and eggy bread are two favourites. If am in a rush will sometimes have cold chicken or ham in the car on the wy to work - odd I know but seems to work for me!

I've been eating a lot of homemade soup - had tomato, lentil, chilli and chickpea which was lovely and also broccoli and potato which was really filling. Try the BBC/Good food website - a lot of the recipes are SW friendly or can be easily adapted. I've tried to cook at least one new recipe...

Aaaargh, I'm so hungry today, need help to stop myself eating the remainder of the fridge... Been back on SW for 5 weeks - doing well, lost a stone so far. Really enjoying the food and am rarely hungry. Today I don't know what is wrong with me! Had Fibre Plus bar and fruit for breakfast...

I normally go to Nando's or Wagamamas for lunch if I'm out - both can be done with very few syns.

1.5 lb off this week for me - happy with that. Has been a funny week, was on nights Mon to Thurs and was really good, although probably not eating enough as I never get hungry on nights. Then had My sister and her husband to stay on Friday night - went for sushi which was a good choice but did...

I'm on nights all week so going to try and pretend that Pancake Day doesn't exist - I have little willpower when I am tired so no point trying to have just one or two - I would make a pint of batter and eat the lot!

I have to have that pink spotty one - it's divine. Someone cut up my credit card please....

Thanks for that - I love potato scones! Will have to hold off the butter that I would usually slather on them though...

Wowzers, some very impressive losses. Good motivation for me to be good this week. One thing I have noticed during my little blip is that even when I am eating out/drinking, that I am making sensible (ish) choices and not going completely mad e.g. having a glass of wine rather than a bottle and...

Woo hoo, well done Jess - keep it up!

Hello all, I have also stayed the same this week and I'm ok with that. Have taken a bit of time getting my head back in the right place and the past couple of weeks have no doubt been catching up with me. Am on nights for a week from tomorrow, which I usually find a good time to lose weight as...

Will you have me back please?! Was away visiting friends for a week (lots of fun but very bad in terms of alcohol consumed) then the day I got back, determined to be back on track 100% I ended up crashing my car in the ice. Terrifying experience. Had no car for a few days before they gave me...

I'm a Sunday weigher too - am also an online member. Am very excited today as have lost 3 pounds which takes me under the 200 pound mark! Am now the same weight as when I gave up smoking 4 months ago - yay! Just booked a holiday in May so super motivated to make target by then...

Slow and steady wins the race! You are looking fab and I'm sure you'll have no trouble at all getting the rest off (not that it looks like you have far to go from those pics!) - keep it up x

I thought the chicken was synned even if the skin is taken off because of the oil in the marinade seeping through. Please correct me if I'm wrong though as I love Nando's!

I was really looking forward to having pitta bread as my lunches this week but Asda had completely sold out of wholemeal pittas when I went last night. Almost out of Mugshots too....there must be a lot of people on SW around here!

That has been bugging me too - thought it was a typo. Thanks!

That is incredible - well done for making such a huge effort!

Good luck everyone - new year, new start!

Ah this has cheered me up no end - have horrible cold and was really annoyed that I was wasting syns on Lemsip - I'm just making up my 4th of the day. For that I can have a small glass of wine, yay! Hope you feel better soon GymClassHero!

I am proud of myself for giving up smoking and also for getting through a rubbish year living a long way from home due to my job. Back home now and hoping for a fantastic year in 2010.

Dinner at a friends house and lots of champagne! Aiming for SW friendly food and 30 syns on drink, then make sure have all the ingredients for a SW friendly fry up in the morning so I can get straight back on track on New Year's Day. Well I can but try!

I want a BMI of under 25. As an interim goal I'd like to fit into the small size 14 skinny jeans that I bought in December 2007 after I lost a lot of weight - can't get them over my thighs at the mo!

Good luck and well done for actually recognising the weight gain and doing something about it. I lost a lot of weight on a low carb diet and have gradually been putting it back on over a year or so. Was in denial for ages then blamed it on stopping smoking and only recently have I faced up to it...

I always WI in the morning (as other have said, as long as you do it at the same time every week it doesn't matter). I agree I may well put on some weight over the next day or two but not planning on having a sneaky peek before next Monday so should be ok as long as I don't misbehave too much on...

Well, Christmas is over for another year... I had 3 days off plan over the festive period and start again 100% as of today. I had about 4 million syns worth of mince pies, chocolate and christmas pudding but drank very little alcohol which is unusual for me. Weigh-in this morning and I...

Well done, I can understand you feeling apprehensive and am glad you were made to feel welcome - hopefully you'll get good support and make some new friends. I'm starting to feel like I'm missing out! - can't get to class because of work hours.

Curry, cheese, chocolate, champagne, crusty white bread, chips....why is it all the bad stuff begins with the letter c?

I just made this with SW chips - oh my god, it was just amazing! Forgot about the sweetener (but tasted fine) and added a load of chicken to it (am doing EE). Actually enjoyed it more than a takeaway as wasn't at all greasy. Off to work now (quite scared about driving in the snow - eek) feeling...

Hello and welcome! I'm new too - have been doing SW for 2 weeks and so far it's been great. These boards are a mine of information - have a look through the sticky threads for recipe ideas. I think you have to have made a certain number of posts before you can add stuff to your profile. Enjoy...

Congratulations, that's amazing - well done you! Ignore your friend's comments, sadly weight is a touchy subject for a lot of people who seem to not be able to say anything positive about weight loss - she's probably just jealous that you are losing weight whilst eating loads of scrummy food and...

I love Alpen Light too. I was wandering round Asda earlier and saw someone with a trolley full of Alpen Light, Low fat SuperNoodles and MugShots - must be on SW!

I'm loving it too - only 2 weeks in but lost 5lb and eating more than I ever have in the past - I don't feel deprived at all!

Hi everyone :D Well, after a lot of procrastination, the diet starts tomorrow. I did well on a low carb diet a couple of years ago and had kept most of the weight off until the last 3 months, when I gave up smoking and also started on Zoladex (hormone injection which gives you a fake...
