Hope you don't mind but I may have to steal some of these for a collection of SW friendly meals I'm putting together for myself and my mum - she's in the US but is always on the look out of some amazing foods

wow, this is amazing! One of my favorites is Afsana or Ranis I need to find good recipies, so any hints would be welcome :)

subscribing to this one - can't wait to try

Hello, hope some one doesn't mind checking the syn values for Sainsbury's Chilli Lime and Coriander salad dressing, full bottle size is 250ml, I would find out myself but I can't sign up to SW Online until Friday :) Thanking you in advance

Yay - 2 off for me, which takes me to 5.5lb off in 2 weeks (slow and steady)

King Charles - Bam Bam and Colin Smith Organ in you Chest (ok so that one is old... but I've re-discovered it)

First WI and I lost 3.5lb !!!!

I wasn't able to start this week because my sciatica was playing up and walking was getting to be painful on some of the days, however I did manage to do a longer walk on the treadmill (on my good days) and did a small jog too so I can at least say I'm trying it a little. Fingers crossed I can...

Mind if I join... I plan on starting this up tomorrow (if I can muster it)... I'm a little worried that I can't run at all, but reading how you're all getting on makes me want to give it a go :)

Saw this and had to try, OH even said they were alright... so I think we have a winner there. :)

I'd like the app to come out for Windows phone (Nokia Lumia 800 to be precise).... it's a great little phone. Although I can always just access the website when I join from my phone :)

I'm planning to return to SW after a while off and decided to take a look here to give myself some ideas on how to start again and still have some amazing treats - so I tried this.... Oh My Gosh... Yum... I'm having mine with Activia 0% raspberry yogurt and it tastes great, I'm deffo planning on...

Nope nowt if I rotate, the menu is in a sub' button and no search there either... May bimble to the techie forum in a bit if. Battery doesn't die..... Man I can't wait to get a new laptop! Cheers :-D

I'm in folky *waves like a nutter*.... When you get down this way if you want to meet up gis a shout.... I know how hard it can be moving to a new area as I came here from london....As for schools, although I don't have sprogs, my friend is training as a teacher, st einsworth (sp?) is one of the...

No idea, but I have tried..... Am using the app on a sony erricson xperia mini pro because the website never fits on the teeny screen....lol ....serves me right for not getting a bigger phone. Either that or the whole thing crashes on me ....and can't get on the slimming world website either as...

How I would love to be able to search....sadly can't on my phone and I have no computer at the moment :-( thanks for the reply though

Dear boss please hurry and confirm my "holiday" so I can go to hospital for my speech therapy..... I have a genuine illness and need to work on getting my voice back so I can be more productive. Yours the only person in our company with spasmodic dysphonia

Can someone please tell me how much low low spread I can have on a hex a please.

I have a few.... some of which have people in fits of giggles when I'm near tears.... My kitchen - everything has its place and if it's not put back in the right one, then you've done it wrong. Cutlery goes spoons, knives, forks the glasses go from half pint on the left to pint on the right...

Lost 1.5 this week and got SOTW too :innocent0002: - which has put me in a good place because now I know I can do it at the worst time of year so no excuses, I just have to pull up my socks the rest of the year

Merry Christmas everyone!!!! I had a very s/w friendly breakfast 2 slices of french toast (HEB + 1tbsp kara milk, 1 egg and sweetener) with mullar light, sharon fruit and grapes.... nom nom nom.... I will be following plan for dinner and desert - my syns today will be mostly spent on wine....

cheese, onion and ham toasty, with some Tabasco sauce it's a lovely red day today (in prep for tomorrow's EE try) so all HE's and free, needed something to tie me over until I have my huge pot of chilli (using beans as HEb) and my 30g of doritos (mmmm lime flavoured) and Jelly belly sweets (5...

Dear Oven NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...... you shall not pack in and not stay lit for me 5 days before Christmas..... I swear you and the heating are in cahoots what with that packing up last year and you being a right git this year. I am not having fun and I want to bake stuff and things...

Dear boss, Thank you for the lack of support over the last 3 months. Yes I know it's tiresome that I have a couple of medical issues that are now classed as "chronic", but to be fair I only take time off when I am really sick with them (yes migraines, I'm looking at you and the 24 days off I...

Dear Boyfriend... You are usually sooo supportive and you even helped me pick this weeks dinners so why on earth, when you went to London did you come back with a 12 pack of Krispy Kreme donuts for us to "share"!!!! curse you!!! Also when I give you a list of things to bring from the shops...

I have a couple (and a few are rant-like) Dear friend at work.... You are one of the sweetest girls I know, you have such a good heart but please stop putting pressure on yourself to meet "Mr Right" and please try to have more confidence in you. It will happen sometime, when you least...

Aaarrrggghhh when it comes to Vampires how on earth could I forget about The Hunger and The Last Vampire by Whitley Strieber....soooo good, and the film of The Hunger has David Bowie in, which is never a problem..... I have yet to read the latest of the saga.... Lilith's Dream.

I love Supernatural.... but I don't have sky so I'm slowly waiting for the DVDs to come out.... 6.1 is done (yay!!!) and I wait for 6.2 with baited breath.... I'm so glad that others disliked Bella (:9529:) and Ruby... although I have to say when Ruby 2.0 came along I really missed Ruby1.0...

Thanks for the replies ladies.... I should have specified, the only food I don't like is fish and seafood..... so prawns and salmon are out for me (ooops).... I think I may have to have the steak and just one or two chips. We're dancing in the evening too - so I can just do some body magic...

Hellooo - so I have a hen party which I'm going to in a little over a week and we're spending the day and evening in London.... I'm hoping to be a little bit sensible with the drinking (and the money)- soft drinks only for most of the day etc...and I want to do as much damage limitation as I can...

uugghhhh end of week 1 and 0.5 on!?! although I've been quite bungged up this week so I'm thinking of making week 2 a scanbran week and doing no chocolate from week 3 (I have 1 extra week to play with).... Oh well, just gonna sit down with the OH, a nice cold glass of ice tea and my recipe...

I'd really like to join in too if I can. I have a wedding to go to in October and my aim is to be at least a dress size lower than I am now..... I can't really go by weight, but 20lb sounds good to me.... I'll start at week 1 on Tuesday as that's my WI day and I'm gonna skip the fish week and...

Hehe I just checked these little beauties out on Fancy Rats too..... they are really stunning little ladies congrats on your new family members.

American Hisory X - ok so it's a re-watch, but a bloomin' fantastic film..... going to see Harry Potter on Sunday - I can't wait (am already scheduled to see it again next thursday!!) lol

Yay.... I just got mine today..... Mr has requested I make him a cherry beer slushie for his birthday..... Wonder if it would work :-)

I'm lucky my OH is a Ghibli fan too so we've been able to indulge in our mutual appreciation without the other rolling their eyes as another DVD or Catbus turns up in the house. Lots of our DVDs were found in little shops in China-town, London, I think at least 3 are Zoke Movie films ...

I like Nausicaa, but it's not one of my top films (although you're right about the music) now Pom Poko (which I re-watched tonight) is a work of genius!! I forgot how much that film makes me giggle

3lb off for me!!!

lacoffinqueen, I think I have to agree with you there, after Queen of the Damned it was just....meh with Anne Rice.... and I don't think it picked up until Blood and Gold, Blackwood Farm was almost like the stories of old and I loved the tie in with the Mayfair Witches... personally I can't wait...

AMEN to that!!!! Although I sometimes find Anne Rice's vampires a little soppy - Now Poppy Z Brite's take on vampires in Lost Souls is very cool...... as is the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley. I've never read Anita Blake but may have to pick up a copy soon.

Ahhhh that would be "The Cat Returns" another Studio Ghibli classic, if you liked that you should try Kiki's Delivery Service and Whisper of the Heart (which also features the Baron from Cat Returns) - both are Ghibli films, both are awesome in their own way....

I've been re-visiting my love for Disney (so much so that for my 30th in a few weeks I'm going to Disneyland Paris!!!) but I also love Japanese anime (especially Studio Ghibli) and I think the below list shows you're never too old for a good cartoon! My neighbour Totoro Beauty and the Beast...

I just had a quick check of the food directory for 2011 and it says 2 Asda jelly beans are 1 syn!!!! are the asda ones any bigger? if so that could explain the huuuuugggeeeee jump!

Hehe thanks chick, it's just something that sucks really - I've suffered with them for years and was on this med a couple of years ago and then came off as I wanted to see if my body could cope without it.... as it turns out I can't and may have to be on them for life but I just need to remember...

ooohhhh cool my OH now has strict instructions to get me some of those on his way home tomorrow night - he now needs to replace my bag of Jelly Belly as the git has scoffed the lot :mad:

Crusha no added sugar milkshake mix 25ml = 0.5 syns, just had some with my soya milk for HEA (as I hate dairy milk) and it's actually ok! plus Jelly Belly jelly beans 5 sweets is 1.0 syns!!! my little 100g bag is going to last so much longer now

Hello all....I'm gonna cut the amount of zumba and weight loss I signed up for as I've recently re-started my medication for migraines, until I figure out how much I can do on them before/after I take them (they tend to knock me out) I don't want to feel like I'm failing to live up to my own...

I'm a big old fan of vampire books, having worked my way through all of the Anne Rice vampire chronicles, the twighlight saga and the Southern Vampire Mysteries (True Blood) to name but a few. I can whole heartedly recommend Anno Dracula and Dracula Cha Cha Cha by Kim Newman - who is the head...

Hi Nataby..... I have the same problem with keeping motivated, I have about the same amount to loose as you too..... but I have lost weight on SW before, so I know I can do it when I put my mind to it. Keeping a diary is a great idea, because when you've lost some of the weight and then...

Thanks Joanna it's been a struggle to get back in to things, my migraines cause odd cravings (early on eat tones of sugar/carbs, middle don't eat at all, end eat everything I can get my hands on)...... I think a gain this week due to the bad eating, but screw it... I can always start again this...

X-Men: First Class...... I don't usually like the these films (comic book geek!!) but it was kinda cool (and it doesn't hurt that Michael Fassbender is in it :woohoo:)

I've had a really bad week with a 4 day migraine so not only did I not go to WI but I also didn't get to do much by the way of Zumba.... but I did do 2 "classes" on the wii before getting ill, so this week no excuses back on track (and back on my meds too) so keep your fingers crossed...

Eeeekkk forgot to update after WI on Tuesday! Loving my Wii at the moment - but I think the ladies over the road think I'm insane jumping about the way I was tonight.....:D Well done folks on the getting started joanna25 - Lost 4/48lbs Zumba 3/78 trcy1066 - Lost 0/48lbs Zumba 0/26...

Hi all, mind if I join..... I lost 2lb this week and am now in the 14's (at last).... I'll be here for a while but could use the motivation to keep on going.

2 down for me and I am now into the 14st range (all be it the top half - but still:D )

I don't WI until tuesday so will start on 1st (as it's the day after WI and all that)..... I'm really looking forward to having the excuse to do Zumba and I think I've managed to talk my mother in law and one of my best (male) friends to joining me in two of the classes...

2 cheese on toast (HEA and HEB) with some hot sauce (free) and 50g Mattisons reduced fat smoked sausage (3.5 syns) and 1 pink lady apple. And it was nomlicious.

I've decided with the DVD to work my way up over the next week and a bit to the 45 mins a week - add to that my spinning class and I may actually drop a couple of lbs

I can't help but wish we had a group near me - sadly we don't but I am in the process of saving for some outdoor quad skates and pads so I can go skating on the promenade near me (living on the kent coast has a couple of perks).... any recommendations would be good:D

I've been wanting to read Robert Harris books for a while as I have one on audio book and really enjoyed it, right now I'm storming through George R.R. Martin's Song if Ice and Fire books (Game of Thrones etc), I'm on book 3 part 2, so not that far to go... may give Mr Harris a go :D

Can we class our Zumba Wii as a class (if we do say 45mins)? as I can't get to as many classes due to them starting early (not driving sucks at times like this)..... if so I'll be in. I already go to 1 class a week but will be upping it to 3 with the Wii game. joanna25 - Lost 0/48lbs Zumba...

StS for me - no surprises there, I had a couple of off plan days because of birthdays and being lazy.... oh well back on track today so lets see how next week goes for me.

I have a version from Pro USA (got them in sports direct), they're almost exactly like the Reebok ones but cost half the price I wear them all the time walking too and from work and to pop to the shops.

Dean Girl 100%.... especially if he's about to cry (Jensen Ackles has perfected the single perfect tear) or wearing that beat up leather jacket..... although I admit to a soft spot for Cas and Daddy Winchester.....

Well WI was tuesday but i was without my laptop due to vista being a poo.... I thought I had gained much more but only gained 1lb so am 15.5 which means I may not be with you for too long.... but knowing my track record I'll be back and forth for quite a while....

Can I join? I was close to being in the 14's but went to the US for 2 weeks and.... well I am very sure that I am well and truly back into the 15's now I'm home so need a little extra push to get back on track.

In the Classics it's the lady herself - Jane Eyre I think - although I swoon at Mr Rochester a little (especially when they're talking in the garden after Mason is rushed to the Drs).... Modern - well that would be The Fool/Amber/Lord Golden (Beloved) from Robin Hobb's Farseer/Liveship and...

I've just moved groups to a Tuesday night one and lost 3.5 this week! well chuffed with that loss:D

I currently have 2 rats, Thalia and Serenity, but have a bad case of GMR (get more rats) the most I've has was 4 and am thinking this is the right number for me....

James Clavell's Shogun is up there in my all time favorite book list..... I'd also recommend Lindsey Davis' The Course of Honour and Falco novels (detective novel set in Ancient Rome during the Flavian dynasty), Conn Iggulden's Conqueror books are amazing (these are the Genghis Khan books) and...

I'm so glad someone else has put this thread up - I'm using a pair of Puma Etoile trainers and although they're not too bad my arches kill me, so I know they're not offering as much support as I need - anyone recommend anything else I can use? I've heard that the split sole dance trainers are...

Hi Donnajt.... thanks v.much, I really love to cook, so I try to come up with something different and nice every day.... I don't want to loose weight so much as fit into a size.... a nice cozy 12 will do me, or maybe a 10 if it looks ok - so what ever weight I happen to get to if I'm the size I...

Looking good there Gem99, I might be stealing some food ideas from this :)

Why thank ye, I'm still getting to grips with EE days so don't do many of them TBH - give me good old Green and Red and I'm a happy bunny.... most of what I have in the way of veg etc are free foods and usually at lunch I have a side salad too (I left it at home today), fingers crossed this...

I've been thinking of doing a food diary on here for a while, so being a new year I thought I had better pull my finger out and start noting things down... any crit/advice will be more than welcome :) Green Day Breakfast: Activia Fat Free strawberry yoghurt and an apple Lunch: Cauliflour and...

This sounds lovely - I wonder if I can get the Mr to eat this....

Oh wow... these are lovely, I just had 3 (piggy that I am) with cinnamon and 2 tbsp of apple sauce (1syn per tbsp) and a sliced cold apple.....mmmmmm thank you thank you thank you to the OP

4lb off for me - which takes me to -10.5lb.... not too shabby

It's been a while since I've logged on, but I managed to lose 4.5 this week, which takes me to -10lb!! and I got me a shiney shiney!!:D

I am so late in posting - I lost another 1lb on wednesday, heres hoping for another loss next week

Kinda new to S/W and just had my first week weigh in lost 2lb - am quite chuffed as a loss is a loss no matter how big or small

Hi, I thought that, seeing as my mum has written her intro I should too.... I live in Folkestone, Kent and am 28 (almost 29) years old - I've joined my local Slimming World for the Wednesday WI (am a re-starter).... I love cooking and trying new recipes and am slowly starting to enjoy...

Hi Mum -glad you made it on here... head over to the SW bit of the forum and you'll find the EE stuff on there.
