4lbs off but didnt go last week so 2lbs a week :P

I just though i'd throw this out there for you to think about. My gym trainer hates BMI's he says that they basically came about in either the first or second world war to decide whether men had enough muscle and capability to fight and should never really be used on a woman. x

yeah I know how you feel to, I was shocked when I could do up a pair of jeans Id never worn because they were too tight when i bought them 6 years ago lol! Yet whenever I look in the mirror I see the same person :(

3.5 off here, chuffed to bits, got 2 1/2 stone award and slimmer of the week :)

Im awful for that too! I dont like to be suprised lol. 4lbs would be great though!! x

And there was me thinking I was the only one! Your post made me pmpl! Im exactly the same and did a little squeal and victory dance when i could see mine when i sat on the loo hahaha! As for having a fat nini....(i love that btw) im in the same boat...but i dont think its the pubic bone, i think...

As title says really :P, theyre bloomin expensive but if they work they work. Anybody tried them? What do you think if you have x

Theyre half a syn each :) I have used them in cous cous; add the sachet to the dry cous cous and make up as normal, gives it a nice taste :)

Lost 3 lbs :)

Whenever I hear of pills like these I just think....10...20...30yrs down the line...bowel cancer or some nastys :(:confused:

I had an idea after cooking the sw chicken bhuna and the spring greens going all crispy. I mixed up the spring greens with a mix of a tablespoon of soy sauce, some salt and about 3 table spoons of sweetner and tossed it with the spring greens then layed them out on the baking tray for about...

Thats incredible, you should be so proud of yourself, you must look amazing! x

1lb off this week :)

Just made for lunch with cous cous, tastes incredible! Smells just like shop bought just isnt as sickly. was perfect for an extra quick lunch. yum!

2.5 off this week! Dead happy with that :) 2 Stone award also!

Ive found that dairy things taste really unpleasant and buttery now. Alot of high fat foods just dont taste nice anymore. I find that I dont want to eat out because it just doesnt taste fresh lol.

Cauldron have just changed theres and its alot more silken, it was nicer before. If you freeze it, then defrost it, the texture isnt so silken and its alot more springy. You can buy it in asian supermarkets but sometimes its already deepfried so be careful lol. I love tofu though, its so yummy.

1.5 off this week after a maintain last week lol.

I started beginning of Jan and have lost 1stone 10.5, chuffed to pieces and wearing my fave jeans again, although theyre a little small now! Congrats everyone, heres to a fab beginning!

2 1/2 off for me and 1 1/2 stone award :) x

I think the general concensus is that it will obviously slow down, like most diets do, your weight will maybe sts or only 1/2lbs loses as you reach your target. Once you reach target, you will adapt the diet by introducing more healthy extras into your diet to encourage your weight to stablise...

Ive always been told, 'a pint of water weighs a pound and a quatre' so maybe stop drinking with enough time to pee :P

Dont worry chaps, I 'chucked' them in the clothes bank!

Ive just sorted all my 'fat' jeans out and guess where theyre heading! I dont need them there to even look at, nor compare, infact i NEVER want to see them again! Im now sitting comfortably in my pre baby jeans and have many more to gradually slim down to, although what am i going to do when...

3 1/2 off this week, dead happy! Slimmer of the week too. Big smiles all round :) x

I always used to have really heavy (not overly painful) but heavy star weeks but Ive noticed a real change since starting slimming world. Just me or anybody else? Another great perk to the diet :P x

that actually made me 'LOL'

Any doctor would say to keep a check on 'unexplained' weight loss, but you never know, the boost in calories may of given your metabolism a slight kick up the rear lol. Sometimes when you start eating the 'wrong' kind of foods it has a adverse affect. Maybe thats all :)

2 pounds off this week, thankfully!! heres to another good week :)

Also, Marmite and home made coleslaw is delish and Marmite and Cooked mushrooms, yum!

I had really bad stomach cramps when I first started eaten it and seem to remember someone mentioning they did once before. Its settled down now though x

1lb on this week! Hoe noes!!

Aw Jess, try not to feel too down, you dont want to get too disheartened because yourll go back to 1 stone! A woman in our group at christmas was 2lbs off from her 4 stone award, when she got back from christmas she'd kept off '2stone 12' she got her 4 stone award last night. Hope that makes you...

Try some cold squash (sweetmumma or butternut) chips, theyre really sweet and sometimes take the edge off it. Or you could try freezing some fruit like strawberries or grapes, just so its abit different lol

awesome idea!

Thanks for the advice, going to make sure i do a food diary, use syns and drink loads of water. I jumped on my scales this morning and im already a pound down from it, I think my system needs a good flush :P!

So I think Ive hit a plateau after this stone. Im just going up a pound down a pound and I dont know why. I havent really been drinking as much and I know that will help, but is there any other advice you can give? I only do green because Im a veggie btw :p x

The Maltesers ice cream bars are only 5.5 syns too! Yummy :D

Aww Tofu isnt that bad when you get the hang of how to cook it xD! I would think it would be fine with the quorn pieces, or the fillets, theyre just not very pourous (sp?) so it just might stay abit dry and tasteless.

I have IBS and have problems in both extremes. I have found scan works and beans, like bean soups etc. This is probably a stupid suggestion but is it syns if you just mash the fruit down and mix with the yoghurt? Then eat like a pudding? Its all the same ingredients just not liquid lol.

Havent tried it with Quorn, but if it helps it works nicely with Cauldren Tofu :)

Today at class there was a woman who said she had a friend that lived in nandos lol. She lost every week! It can be done just food optimise and use syns wisely eh, mmmm nandos!

Congrats everyone, fab losses :) 1lb off here x

Quarter chicken with the marinade is about 2 syns so for half id save 4, yoghurt works around about 2 syns for "a small cup". Not sure how accurate that is, but Id say 8 syns is enough because I think the rice is free and corn is obviously free :)

No, alot of it is not free. The pasta in the salad cart is only free if its plain, although theres one with roasted veggies sometimes (maybe free?) Cous cous is not free, potatoe and cloeslaw salad obviously not free, the new potato salad i believe is in oil and the bacon and croutons are deffo...

Tried them with scrambled eggs today and it was actually quite tasty. Nicer than with cottage cheese :p

Chuffed to pieces this week!! 4.5 lbs off making 1 stone and slimmer of the week :). Congrats everyone!

Ahahaha, skinny people feel threatened when their fat friends get skinny :P! Good on you for ignoring it! x

They sort of remind me of crackers that are almost stale. You know when things start to lose their crunch lol? But I quite like almost stale things so win! :p

Oh yeah dorset cereals are seriously scrummy. Pricey, but worth it :)

Yep you heard right. I tried the dreaded Scan last night for first time (without it being mixed with chocolate pmpl) and it was lovely! I broke it in lightly last night. 2x scan with extra light mayo and brie (hexb) and coped, today I smothered it in asda vlf sweet chilli cottage cheese and YUM...

Yeah im 15 and a half and Im a size 18, weird huh. Im hoping my skin wont sag too much rofl. I have a collagen difficiency aswell so my skin doesnt even go back! *cries*

Thats great! Bet youre chuffed! I have a manky old pair of skater jeans I used to wear that I keep to get 'back into' Im about a stone away from fitting in them though lol. I also have a smaller size pair that is a goal :p x:D

I keep meaning to pick up that book, its deffo going to come in handy when youre caught out lol. Careful of supernoodles though. Im sometimes a little concerned with them. They still have somewhere in the region of 320 calories in them :s

Just made these when it occured to me, how do you syn...licking the bowl :p

Ive got one but got it more for health reasons. Theyre excellent for strengthening your leg muscles without extending too much which is exactly what i need lol. Weight loss wise, I have serious problems losing weight and it comes off very slowly, but have had a steady weightloss each week from...

A bit unrelated but I thought id throw it in here, I saw a leading physio in the field of my disability today. He was really good etc but he said the most interesting thing to me. It has been proven from case study after case study that 30minutes of brisk walking is actually better for you than...

1.5lbs off! Not bad considering its * week :p! Congrats everybody! x

I watched that programme too. It was a diet club thing where they ate only 1200 calories a day for 2 weeks in order to drop a dress size. Your hubby is right, it did say that products that replace sugar it sweetner e.g coke and diet coke, make you crave the sugar you are replacing with sugar...

Mmmm yummy, we're havin hot and sour thai stir fry with boiled rice. yum yum yum!

1 cup of paneer cheese (224g/8oz) is 13.5 syns on all plans, if thats any help

Going to have to agree with Britmum on this one. Following slimming world 'rules' and obviously being sensible with portion control has lead to so many people losing weight. Albeit it at a 'slow' yet sensible rate, its the basis for a lifestyle change, be healthy and fit. If you were losing 7...

Remember syns dont have to be fatty or calorific as such (chocolate obviously). They could be used on a small skimmed milk cappucino from costa, it is only 2 syns. Theyre there to keep you sane remember. If you go from using 0 syns to 15 syns a day, yourll be adding another 250-300ish calories...

Theres a recipe in my sauces book...it says serves 4 1.5 syns per serving. 113g pinapple chunks in juice 5tbsp stock made with chicken bovril 2tbsp soy sauce 1tbsp wine vinegar 1tsp artificial sweetner 1 lvl tbsp tomato puree 2tbsp diced red pepper 2 level tsp cornflour s+p drain pineapple...

Mug shots are like pasta in soup type things you make in a mug with boiling water. Theyre yummy. Most are free on all plans but theres a few like thai and cheesey that have syn values. Theyre ok for lunches. I normally put a whole load of SF veg with mine so its kinda like a stir fry almost. Yum :)

Shouldnt be to different then! 6lbs off....woohoo! Just make sure its not on a carpet, that always cheers me up. My thick pile bedroom carpet tells me I weigh 154 *massive smiles*

I wear the same because I like to feel them less snug every week and also incase they weight just abit more :p

1st 11lbs is an incredible loss! Bear in mind you wernt actually that big to begin with! 1st 11 is more than I lost in a year at another healthy eating group thing that begins with w :P !! *huge thumbs up!*

I think from switching from a vlc diet to a 'healthy eating plan' your body will take a while to adjust. Youre going to be taking in more calories than you were before for a while, but youre still eating less calories than youre burning so eventually it will even out and yourll be losing like...

Argh its the ultimate tempation isnt it :p. Just bear in mind all scales are different so whatever you weigh at weigh in just be proud of the fact that its minus not plus!! I haqve weighed myself at home before and its said gain but i lost at group. *slaps wrist :P*

I think aswell different plans work best for different people, depending on your metabolism etc. At my group I know people that wont dare touch EE or green and swear by original...whereas Im used to and have only ever done green. Another woman lost 10lbs in 3 weeks doing EE which is more than I...

I do green but still have atleast 1/3 superfree food with my dinner. Portion sizes differ depending on what it is, but at the end of the day, free is guilt free, just fill the plate with whatever you need to satisfy yourself :)

I dont mind what size I am, I just want a flat stomach lol! Im aiming for 10 stone as thats a true measurable goal :)

Rocky is the last place yourll ever feel self concious trust me pmpl! Im a rocky veteran and through the years my weights gone up and done like Franks knickers and i still done the same corsetsk, sometimes they fit and sometimes my boobs could knock people out! Enjoy it! Its amazing!!! David...

Well you can microwave a jacket potato syn free so im assuming microwaving potatoes is fine :)

If theyre not fried theyre free I believe, plain boiled noodles are deffo free but if its fried you have to syn the oil :(

Thats great :D soon itll be falling down :p

You can have 1-2 A's and 2 Bs, so yourll have to syn the bacon/ham later for tea. :)

Ha, well you have a shiny 6 stone sticker there so Im assuming your rule breaking has gone unnoticed!! Sometimes....I have a bite of my daughters chocolate or cake...then spit it out. Gross huh.

A Healthy weight loss is between 1-2lbs a week. There are many different circumstances that will effect weight loss. People size to begin with, the difference in calorie deficit, etc etc. Any loss is a good loss, its still weigh thats not on you! If you get disheartened, yourll give up and put...

Pesto is high syns because of the oil in it, theres a recipe in the SW magazine for pesto though.

Congrats everyone, club10, what a dream :D! 1lb off for me :) x

I promised family the other day I would cook them a pie with the braising steak I had in the freezer. I was well aware of the fact that I wouldnt be able to join in, but then I had some inspiration after watching come diner with me. I made up their filling, I also made up a filling for me, with...

22syns per 100g on all plans :)

Oh no :( thats rubbish! Its because the bases are made with oil, theres oil in the tomato sauce and the meats and the cheese, not to mention the flour etc etc....life goes on though!! Unbelievable though for just 2 measley slices :'(!

Sometimes I have mugshots for lunch and fill a bowl with superfree and free veg (mangetout, baby corn, tender stem brocolli, sweetcorn, onions, mushrooms, green beans...anything thats lying around in the fridge) and i nuke them in the microwave for 30 seconds so theyre warm too. Then I make the...

Based on this info below its 1 1/2 syns on EE per 100g but you cant guarantee how much oil they do or dont use. Its deffo the lowest fat option though isnt it :) Serving Size 100 g Amount per serving...

Mmm yummy dinners everyone :p. We had shepherds pie, with quorn mince, onions, carrots, swede, leeks and mushroom, in stock, garlic and tinned tomatoes, with sweet potato and potato mash (1.5 syns for margarine and some of HexA skimmed milk) and mozerella on top (HexA) It was so so so so nice...

Congrats! Such a good feeling! x

You can also make chips 1/3 superfree with Butternut squash in exactly the same way as you would potatoes. Theyre so yummy. You can also toss them in chilli and garlic or lemon juice for extra flavour. Big hit in our house we love them

Pittas also make fab pizza bases. You could just chuck a load of chopped veg (and meat if you like) with some HexA cheese and tomato puree or whatever you fancy and either grill or cook it. I used to have them before I started SW for snacks but I would actually have them for lunch with salad...

You can lose weight, they'll always be airheads :D x

5 stone is an incredible achievement and you should be really chuffed with what youve lost! All I would suggest is to make sure you weigh and measure hex's, maybe you could look at varying them abit more? If youre anything like me, bread is the enemy! Definately do a food diary and maybe some...

3lbs here and half stone award :)

Definately the mini milks! Summer will be good :D

I tend to use 2 Hexs on breakfast its so easy that way. I love the idea of having toast and vegemite in the evening as hexb and not feeling guilty :p

I eat my breakfast and lunch as normal, then dont have anything until after weigh in. We have a chipshop opposite our church hall (i dont like chips...which helps) but the irony is, its run by our consultants dad. Ha :p

I did see a thing on tv about fizzy drinks the other day that said although, other than obvious things like bloating etc, they dont cause weight gains, diet drink that use sweetener instead of sugar cause a reaction in the body that makes you crave the sugar replacement and makes you eat rubbish...

1pound off here :)

Im actually thinking of banishing the wii fit and buying a folding treadmill instead. In the meantime Ill keep to my excercise bike. Thanks for the comments, it was stupid I know :sigh: Never mind! Ill go tonight and unlike ive ever done before ill carry on!

I know i shouldnt of done it, but I decided to wii fit this morning and weighed in. I have sw wi tonight and now i just dont want to go :(. Ive put on 1lb according to wii fit. Ive followed the diet to a T Ive been so so careful and its not * week that was last week and I still lost. Ever...

Thursday I had to go out for lunch with family. We went to TGI fridays, I had pasta in tomato and chilli sauce with extra veg and allowed 6 syns for oil. Yesterday we had friends come over and we had chinese. I had Egg rice and stir fried mixed veg, allowing 10.5 syns according to the book. But...

3 pounds this week :)

Goodluck all! Mines at 6.15 and im soooo nervous lol

I asked for the old sheets to do green with :)

Id love to join in too, Im hoping for 10lbs by valentines :)

There didnt seem much logic in doing EE to me, I do green and get the extra HEx :) (im veggie obv so not missing unlimited meat or fish :p)

Its about £1.25 I think, toffee and pecan ones....mmm yum

I prepare my dinner before WI so that I can just heat it up for OH and I and my daughter can have hers whilst Im gone. Although starving yourself etc all sounds like a good plan, your weight varies during the day regardless, youre going to weigh what youre going to weigh. I dont eat past lunch...

Im the same as Pizzle, order online so not to grab naughtys from the shelves lol. Its usually about £60 a week including del. Thats 2 adults and a 2 yr old. I did notice the price increase once I started the diet, but then we've only just moved in so im stocking up the cupboards. I like to use...

Gorgeous dress :) Good luck with it! I have a pair of 'sentimental' jeans im doing the same with :)

Music to my ears :P Ive spent my first week in and out of the loo like a yoyo!

Deffo try to sauces book from class, its amazing!

Thanks for the warm welcome :). I read through the book and understand the concept so have no worries about me applying ww to sw, i cant remember any of it anyway. Am enjoying guilt free eating :) x

:D Hiya everyone. Just wanted to say hi as ive been lurking on here since sunday since I decided I was going to join SW. Had my first weigh in today and am really excited about doing the diet and losing weight. Although somewhat dubious about how you can eat so much and lose weight! I had been...

Sounds yummy :)
