Thanks for your replies guys... I think an apple and yogurt is maybe the way to go. I'm restricted with times with work and my wee ones. I don't really want a huge meal after either as I don't really stay up too late. Trying to get back on the wagon and making sure I've no room for an excuse...

I've decided I'm going to join my friend at a few evening gym classes but I've a problem. The classes are at 6.30 and I don't get home til 430 or 5. Soooo I was thinking what do people do about their tea in the evenings? The last time I will have eaten will be at 12;30 and it would be a soup...

Lol @ violent wine

Guys you've been brilliant, thanks so much! Being honest it is the excuses that's keeping me down. One moment off leads to a week. I'm going to try to set a mini goal each week and take all your advice on board. Thanks for being there for me x

Thanks for the hug and the kind words :-) I will draw the line...gonna sit down later when the kids are in bed and draw up my game plan lol ;-) I think you could be right tho about the small goals. I need to get my head focussed

I'm like a broken record. Been doing Slimming World off and on for 4 years now and have really gotten nowhere. I joined in January with 6 stone to lose and I currently have about 8lb off cos I follow the plan then binge etc etc etc. My best mate joined with me and she looks fab! She's now at...

Kinda glad Im not the only one. I was really hoping it Might have helped even a little though :-(

Hmm must be something wrong with me cos Ive gotten worse after reading book and listening to the cd for about a week :-(

Thanks guys...been a busy day. I just taking the leftover stirfry cos it was full of sf. Thanks agsin

I had homemade chips and Beans and a pack of mini maltesers for dessert. Hopefully it'll pass soon. Thanks for all of your kind words and advice x

Thanks guys. Cant wait for OH to get in from work for cuddles lol how sad. I've been coping well for a long time but woke in a dark cloud this morning, trying to figure out the cause and im coming up with nothing. So far so good i've managed to stay syn free without eating everything in...

How do others cope on a really bad down day when all you feel compelled to do is bury yourself in junk food.

Lol I never noticed ;-). The book makes so much sense its putting into action. On a positive note though I got my stone award last night. Go me!

It says you must do the prep on p68 first before hypnosis which is no fatty high sugar foods for two weeks and start walking 20 mins 3 times a week as these are the things you are required to do before actual gastric band surgery.

Ive always thought id like running but Im 6 Stone overweight and desperately unfit should i lose first then rin or start now?

Brilliant guys thanks for all the suggestions

I carry my weight all over but after my 2 babies i have a huge spare tyre. As my weight is going down i can feel it coming off all over but never my stomach. I look pregnant and Im embarrassed by it. Any ideas on what helps to reduce this?

Thanks Missnix i know this time that Im just gonna take it as it comes and do my best. Not let one slip create the snowball of weeks off plan

Thanks to this thread I can now recognise another reason. I too am one of you who if i have spare cash, better payday etc find myself in a shop with an overflowing trolley of goodies. Like we got a PPI cheque a few weeks back and immediately i started planning the groceries and meals out! I...

Hi Im on spinning world too and struggling big time. I've got the book now too and have started it. Yes it all makes sense and a lot of it is very true to me but the reality is that its such a hard cycle to break :-(

Thanks :-)

Been at this from Jan... Lost 12.5lbs...but Its been a struggle. I need to easily lose 6 stone but as past month Ive been way off track eating everything is sight. Im a binge eater at the best of times but its way out of control Im bingeing every single day whereas before it may have been 3 or...

Thanks so much for your help ;-)

One more question...what happens if you cant manage 2 weeks off high fat food before you start? 2 weeks to a binge eater is a lifetime ;-)

Do you guys think it would work following a slimming world plan. Also does it help with binging with emotional eating?

Has anyone ever tried this 12 week online program. Just checking before i buy in case Im buying into nonsense.

1.5 off! Raging i binged but delighted with the loss. Goodbye scales! Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks guys for all the support. Ill let you know how i get on x

Im seriously thinking of throwing them in the bin. Been a struggle at the weekend to stay on track and i was so proud of myself come Sunday evening that I had finally done it and now Ive had the binge fron hell all because of the number on the scales :-(

They are only Free onn EE if uses in their natural way. Roasting them is a tweak and you need to syn them. Sorry :-(

Everything has to be cooked yourself which is better anyway cos you jnow exactly what your eating. I Cook for a family of 4 and the only way is to.plan ahead.

After a 2 lb gain last weds i promised, no more. So i had a Perfect 100% everyday til about an hour ago. I stood on my scales which weigh exactly as my classes and it showed Im up another 1lb! Then my dog escapes the house, my youngest fell off his bike and i fell into toast and a half a packet...

No i count 105 again day after weigh in. Syns cant be carried week to week, Its use or lose Im afraid. But i would just use all those syns for the sake of it either as in the long run it wont help. I know for me, Im trying to fix binge eating and having 60 syns when Im not hungry and not even...

I use weekly syns and my losses Have been 6,4,3, and .5. The week i only lost the half was the week i did it fault lol

I use my syns weekly. So on Thursday i only needed 5 then Friday i used 25 last night i used 21. Ill use syns the rest of the week but within the syns left. Whatever is left over will be used for tea and buttery toast on weigh in night ;-)

Hi Im trying for a 100% week on plan without making major changes that would make me think Im on a diet (if you know what i mean) Ive had chocolate and crisps friday and saturday within my syns but from now til weds i want to keep syns to a minimum and only use them if i really need to. BUT i...

Gonna try this too!

Maybe i need to look in this more!

http://www.sweetpoison.com/aspartame-sweeteners.html

After reading about asparatame and it turning to formaldahyde in your stomach Im a wee bit worried. So i started checking labels and Its EVERYWHERE. Kids no sugar squash everything. It seems anything diet or low fat will Have it. And it seems heating it like in diet coke chicken is lethal...

Out of a pound of mince i make 4 burgers...but the babybel bleeds :-(

Just homemade burgers with a Babybel in the middle. Mine never turn out like the pictures.

I've had exactly the same problem lol

I know Its hard when your expecting more of a loss but remember just 1lb a week is almost 4 Stone! Which would be incredibile.

First 3 weeks of slimming world i had 21 100% days and 11lb. I think Ive gotten lazy or complacent. Gonna look over my food diary for those weeks and try to plan getting back on the horse.

Has that helped with your bingeing Cat? Saturdays are a real issue for me. Maybe cos theres no routine but I really struggle all day. I agree that a blip is just that and it shouldnt ruin an otherwise 100% week. Weight loss is all about mindset and for me i nerd to find a way to fix my Saturday...

Had another small victory in the road to health today. Came home really late from work, kids starving etc really really (and almost did) rang a chinese BUT i stopped took breathe and cooked up a huge stirfry with wedges and used a few syns for chilli sauce and honey. Go me! But again thank you...

Lol legolass ;) I survived with a half off so thats it. 100% from here on out. Thanks again for all your support ;-)

Mixed leaves with teeny chopped bacon toms beetroot and chicken breast with garlic and herb seasoning.

Lovely porridge with Milk and honey Afterwards pineapple grapes and orange.

Total comfort food tonight due to snow .... Beans mash and bacon

Thanks guys for all the support i really appreciate it. Weigh in tomorrow eek! We'll see then. Been 100% 2 days again now.

You're completely right....the toast was not worth it and i honestly rhino it triggered the other cravings and the loss of control. Back on track this morning, i just have to accept that this us a long journey and lifestyle change not a magicwand.

Thanks for the advice guys :-) i really have an issue with binge eating and Ive really got to get it under control before it kills me. Will wake to a New day and back on track!

Hey guys Ive rejoined 3 weeks ago at my heaviest ever :-( Ive been so food and had 3 blissful weeks of 100% days leading to 11lb loss which im delighted with. BUT this weekend Ive taken out. Last night i over synned with toasted White bread and Real butter...just couldnt get it back on track...

My soup when defrosted came out clumpy and sepad and generally vile looking....any ideas why?

Thanks :-) just make a huge a amount of food lol

Hey there I'm not a great cook and never ever freeze anything cos I'm unsure of food poisoning taste change etc... however I need to get back on track and I've loads in my fridge that if I dont use its going to go off. Would it be ok to freeze the following? Does it then change the taste once...

Smartie that looks amazing...any chance of a recipe post for that please?

Recipes our consultant gave out and everyone loves it apart from me lol

Yeah I was thinking that I'll just use it as a base for something else ;-) thanks guys

Maybe not lol

Hi there I made the tomato soup for lunch you know the one with the beans, carrots, toms and a pickled onion. Wasnt impressed.... tasted like the sauce from spagetti hoops :( anyone any ideas on how to make it more paletable (im not a great cook) I used it for my 2 wee ones as a sauce for...

Congrats on your baby :-) at our class tonight there was a girl there with her 2 week old baby and there was no rejoini.ng issues at all. Are you sure tho....having a little one leaves you a little all over the show....you need to adjust too rather than jumping straight back in? Personally I'd...

Any ideas from a local ice creAm shop how many syns an icecream with a wafer is? Please don't say more than 15

Breakfast:- 2 glasses of warm lemon followed by oranges grapes and pineapple with a muller Greek ontop (0.5) Lunch:- Ham and tomato sandwich (heb) Dinner:- pasta peas bacon & philly (hea) kinda like a carbonara Kiwi & grapes Everyone had an icecream so of course! 15 syns??, maybe way more???

I'm with you there! 2 focussed people in the morning after rubbish weeks. I was lucky with a sts tonight...best of luck to you with your journey :-)

Rubbish few days.....line drawn and tomorrow is a new day! So glad I went tonight even if it was a sts...helps to restart in the morning with a fresh outlook. Got to get something in place though for those times when I binge. Got to realise that I have the control. I gave up a 30 a day...

I stayed the same!!! Delighted I went now. Thanks again for all the support x

Guys thanks so much for all your advice. was seriously contemplating not going but i think i will now, get it over with and move on! Thanks everyone :-)

That makes a lot of sense....i know i have to find an alternative method ti deal with it. A lot of the time with 2 wee ones in the house its quicker just to give in...i need to get something else to pour that into cos its spiralling out of control :-(

See i have a huge problem.....bingeing.... Been good all day on a really rough day in which I flooded the kitchen this morning while seeing to my youngest busted knee...broke 3 glasses....burned myself with the iron.... I made the salt and pepper chicken for tea and i made it way too spicy so...

Any idea how many syns are in a piece of a jam and cream sponge birthday cake from the bakers?

So far today.... 2 glasses of freshly squeezed lemon juice in warm water while making the boys tea and toast. B - Orange with Greek muller (0.5) L - 3 eggs, ham, carrot, celery, onions, tomato a splash of worsetshire sauce in an omelette topped with hea cheese served with rocket and pineapple...

I've been dieting on and off now for nearly 10 years. This is the final fling at changing my life rather than dieting. I rejoined 3 weeks ago and have decided to keep a diary on here to focus me a little. In total I need to lose 6 stone maybe. I weigh in class on a Weds and this week has...

Yeah our consultant pushes the 1/3 on all plans too....

Thanks guys...i think you're right in preparing for the worst :-) ill crack.on and give 100% and see what happens

Ok I've had a really busy weekend...2 birthday parties including my now 7 year old....a picnic at the zoo....more cake...pizza...chips...ice cream...you name it. I decided not to stay to plan obviously! Thing is I don't want a gain come Wednesday and am prepared to work my ass off! I've had 2...

Thanks x

Sorry to be a pain but again I can't copy and paste can someone change me please? -1.5....30.5 to go Thanks :-)

Hey cant update from my phone so could someone please update me? Another 1.5 off :-)

I thought most of the low gi or those with seeds had to be synned because of their low fibre content so bread with seeds generally arent heb

Thanks for all the suggestions :-)

Bought some to try to decrease shopping bill....defrosted it over night and eugh... Really not very appetising? What do you do with yours?

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions :-)

That's not a bad idea...brown bread just ain't the same :-)

I know what you mean... dying for a big toasted and buttered McCanns heel...not gonna happen though ;-)

Count me in too...on phone so I can't copy and paste sorry.. Violetwind .... 35lb target 3lb this week 32lb to go

Honk Woooohoooo day2!!!

That's not bad idea :-) thanks

Hi guys I've done brilliant for me so far this week with 2 100% days so far. The only issue is that im only fitting in 2-3 syns. Im trying to break a binge eating habit so i don't really wanna just go and use them for the sake of it....any ideas?

First time in an age.....100% today, go me!

Thanks guys:-) don't get me wrong im chuffed to bits with the loss but am kicking myself in that look at what i could achieve if i follow the plan :-)

3lb off!?!? Unbelievable.... Though this is double edged:-( I was unable to stick to plan 100% on any day but managed 4 body magic sessions.... So this week, a firm kick up the back side and give it 100% and hopefully get that 1st 1/2 stone award. Does anyone else struggle? Im 100% up until my...

Yes im dying to know what you're eating too cos i started last weds at almost the same weight. are you exercising much? Well done on a fab journey so far!

Thanks peacelily :-)

Peacelily that sounds intriguing...can i have the receipe please?

I've struggled with my weight for nearly 10 years now. I've been on/off diets for years with no real results. So on Wednesday I plan to rejoin my local group and give it another shot. Im looking for any and all tips and advice on succeeding this time please. Im also looking for inspiration for...

Thank you :-)

Have you a recipe for the cheesy lemon leeks please looks gorgeous

There was no fat on the meat at all. Its the gravy and mash im unsure of. I was thinking 5 syn but maybe Im way under synning?

Sorry about the wrong forum :-( Im on ee

Hi there went for unexpected lunch today and now fretting about syn can someone help? CARVERY Roast beef One scoop of mash carrots peas cabbage 2 Baby boiled 2-3 tbsp of gravy/stock? Please help?

Thanks :-)

Bunny lush whats the receipe for this please?

So do you you weekly guys use the full 105 or the 70? My consultant reckons you should only count from the 70 down?

I just rinsed them. Seasoned and stuck in the oven for 20 mins. Very tasty :-)

Been reading that even though they are free slimming world would consider roasted chick peas as synned and food abuse. But surely calorie wise Im better with a wee half tin of these than super noodles or a bowl of pasta?

See I reckon I need to have 0 syns left to stop me over using. If it works this week I may reduce the total to 70 for the week. Really want to be successful this time.

What is the secret ingredient that just makes you say 'Im doing this'd and 'Im not eating that' I gave up a 30 a day habit 9 years ago this month and that was a cakewalk compared to losing weight. Wonder have I used up all my willpower quota? ;-)

This week Im trying counting down to 0 cos my weekends are so bad :-( I've 75 left to Weds which hopefully will see me cos Im usually an angel during the week. Never tried this way before and i feel a bit more in control. (Easy to say when i haven't run out yet( So how do you count yours?

I really want to be 100% this time round and make it stick.**But not sure if im ok so far. Do you mind checking this food diary so far please? Thurs- breakfast- hifi bar and apple 11am- pineapple melon lunch- rice chickpeas brocoli carrots peas sweetcorn orange grapes dinner - pots bacon peas...

Yeah its £4.95 and i use it quite a bit. Got a gorgeous bacon and lentil soup in it.

Thanks guys :-)

Ok I've got these 3 ingredients that I've never used before aubergine courgette and sweet potato. what on earth do i do with em?

That's a great loss. well done x

It was. It really hurt but who can blame him, I don't even want to be like me! But no more 100% from here on out. Im exactly the same about photos and it really is a shame when you look back. But its the same for you now too, no more hiding :-)

My 6 year old who is a really poor eater and very underweight told me the reason he doesn't eat is cos he never wants to be like me :-(

This is a really lovely letter. Well done you for writing it and I wish you every success on your journey :-)

Lunch was awful :-( made a Morroccan rice salad from one of the books and it was bleugh!!! Dinner: potatoes bacon peas carrots turnip cabbage :-)

Hey there everyone I went back and rejoined slimming world last night for the umteenth time! However this is my last ever!!! Looking back through old books I orginally joined Slimming World for the first time on 4th January 2010! Exactly 2 years on I find myself in exactly the same position...

That sounds really tasty might give that a go.

I think im the same Nona I want the magic wand! i want it now and once i hit a bump or its not going fast enough then it all falls apart. Not this time! This is our year :-)

Does it have to be ham stock?

Id like some ideas too cos the mixed beans must be in my cupboard for at least a year now!

Hi everyone I've been off/on SW for about 3 years. I've had some success but ultimately I give up every time. I now need to lose about 6 stone to get to my really reasonable 10 stone dream! I am rejoining my group on Wednesday. I have the full weeks menu planned and Tescos is delivering on...

Thanks guys

My local class is offering a join and 12 week countdown for £49.95 Is this worth it? Does a countdown work to keep you on track?

I also am underactive on 150mg daily and find the plan works well....its just me that doesn't ;-)

I put in a little mild curry powder but i think its too lentilly if that makes any sense?

Was all organized and started to make carrot and corriander soup and now its on boiling I've discovered I've no corriander!!! What on earth can i add to it to make it acceptable??? Im a rubbish cook lol

Do you freeze it all Mama when you've cooked it?

Ok thank you :) 2.5 may just be worth it

Anyone know offhand how many syns are in these as they are the only yogurt i can stomach. also because i don't really use my hea at all can i substitute these as 1?

Thanks you guys :-)

Ok so I've done the plan, got do far, given up, restarted......repeat about 6 times. HOWEVER something is eating at me this time (prob the 6 stone i need to lose) so im rejoining on Monday, new group, new start, new me! I am though sadly lacking in the inspiring meals dept. So any ideas for...

Thanks

Well after a 4 week holiday I have managed to gain 10 ( yes I know) so that puts me way way back up into the 14's :( Magic wand anyone?

Decided to go back again tonight!!!! I'm so ashamed had a 2 week holiday that became 4 and no healthy eating in sight. I got on the scales and gained 10 lb!!!!!! Awful!!! Anyways I'm all outta ideas. I want and need to be at sw but I've no idea where to start for my meals this week. I just feel...

I agree, we WILL do it! Good luck everyone for the rest of the week :)

1lb back on so still stuck in the 14's the hardest stone to shift! Tho I deserved it and maybe a little more. I promise to have at least 5 100% days this week!

Im with you Tara. Only managed 1 day on plan and I weigh in today :( dreading the dam thing. Thing is I know if I could manage just 5 days 100% then if have a greattach loss. So why won't I do that!

At least its still within my syns! Thanks circes ;)

Ah I think he maybe made a genuine mistake, the look on his poor face... Ah well :)

Instead of getting my normal syn free sausages at a local butchers my oh got honey pork ones (mistake my bum) anyways he only let on as I happily munched away and said these are really nice. I had 2!! Any idea how many syns?

Don't think I've ever had highlights had a coconut belgian chocolate options and it was lovely. Will look out for the highlights

Yep purplesky thanks so much for the suggestion not only is it helping with craving but now I'm using a hea for the first time :)

If I swap my cuppa tea in the evenings when I crave toast and chocolate with it for an options made either my hea. . . It is divine for only 2 syns ;) happy me

Me too I don't know anyone at my group and go along every week myself. My consultant is very welcoming also :)

It will be a 4 day knuckle down to weigh in!

I'm as bad OH just cooked a gorgeous meal all sw style and delicious. . . What does he hand me after. . . Apple tart and warm custard! How could I resist!

Can I join too please stuck at 14 for way too long!

Nevermind I found it :) Well done

Found it at last :) Thanks Lady now gonna have a read :)

Superfree is everything on the yellow pages of your book. Things like apples bananas melons carrots brocoli as opposed to free foods like beans pasta etc most veg and fruit are superfree apart from peas sweetcorn and a few others.

Had a cup of peppermint tea and I'm grand now. Thanks you guys for your support x

Over the notion for now ;) thanks

After weigh in this evening I spotted Easter eggs in offer 4 for £5. So I got them one for OH and one each for my 2 boys and one for our easter sunday picnic. But now boys in bed, oh not home til late and the egg has found its voice.

Though I have to add I am really feeling it today, especially my poor bum!

I have the biggest loser on it. started it last night and I thought it was briiliant.

I couldn't stay with it. made me feel useless cos I couldn't do anything. So I tried the biggest loser on the kinnect and loved it though i can't move today but thats a good sign ;)

Ah im on my phone so i can't read sigs at the moment but I will when I get the chance :)

Can't find your diary lady but then I am useless at these things

Thanks for that I will give it another go :)

Thanks everyone;) Gonna have a wee look atay your diary now Lady. And Hollys nan, red days don't sound as bad as I thought.

Lol violent wind;) Lady a I've hypothyroidism too as well as perncious anemia. Maybe your right and the carbs are making me crave. Up til now I was doing ee but I don't think I was doing it 100% so I've changed to greens cos while I eat meat I dont eat alot of it. plus I'm not too sure of that...

Cant have the heb as both have been accounted for today. I don't mind using my syns but I'd rather get out of the habit. My will power sucks as last while. I gave up a 25 a day cigarette habit 8 years ago and that was a cake walk compared with changing to a healthy eating lifestyle.

Why is it that after lunch or dinner I really crave chocolate with my tea. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Oh my God I think I'm gonna die!!!! I couldn't do it! Got about 13 minutes in and had to give up. Not that my 2 year old helped matters lying on my back when I was attempting push ups. I'm really frighteningly unfit. . . maybe I should start somewhere else?

I currently do no form of exercise and have decided to give this a go. Wish me luck ;)

Just resisted a bacon and cheese pannini and went for a syn free omlette instead. . .

Yeah heres wishing everyone a good eating choices day tomorrow x

So how do we break the cycle?

Thank you holiday girl. . I've been doing so well up to now. Just had a bad few days from weigh in on weds. I will get myself back on track in the morning. Thanks again x

Slimming world. . . What about yourself?

I've never had it go that way. When I get out of control I binge on rubbish. But I think I've learned my lesson. From now on when I feel a binge coming on I'm gonna come on here.

You're right;) will try to get back on track for the rest of the week thanks for your support x

I did give in. and yes momentarily my mood was lifted but now I'm back down. Why can't I learn my lesson. I do have depression and as last 2 days it is out of control now compounded by the fact I have ruined my week

Does anyone on here suffer with depression. Do you find like myself when your mood is very low self control etc goes straight out the window and very hard to get back on track

Brilliant. . . How did you resist ;)

Gonna start this tonight . . . I've never done any form of exercise apart from the odd walk :s

To be able to walk into any 'normal' shop and pick up anything To be confident and not feel like the biggest person in the room To have the energy to fun after my 5 and 2 year old boys To be happy

I was gonna use the bacon as my second HEB?? I thought there were no superfree foods on green just all free foods???

Gonna try a green day today (1st time) Breakfast: Banana 2 weetabix and milk Lunch: Baked potato & beans Snack: Orange melon pineapple mullerlight Dinner: Pasta bacon peas and quark Is this right?

Thanks guys. I'm not really a big meat eater so I think I may try a few green days.

I was confusing my superfree and I don't think I'd eat enough superfree to do ee properly. But I'm not really sure of the other plans because I've never tried them. If you do a green day does that mean that you syn meat? I'm losing 1-2 a week with extra easy and was happy with that til the...

My consultant did a refresher night on EE and I dont think that I follow the plan 100% I was maybe gonna try a few green days. Ive never done any before and am a wee bit wary. Which plan do you all think is the best?

Thanks everyone for your support. Our consultant had an EE refresher this evening and I dont think Im following that 100% correctly anyway I may try some green days . . .

2 off yipee

Another 2 off for me, missed target but still 8lb is 8lb

Thanks very much. It sounds awful but if it works ;)

Thanks

12 speed soup Can anyone tell me what 12 speed soup is, how its made and most important does it work;)

I think the nearest aldi is dundalk about 50 mins from belfast

12 speed soup Hey there Can anyone tell me what the 12 speed soup is? Thanks

I know thats the official rule, but our consultant says that as long as you have 1/3 daily intake it is grand??? I dunno lol I do drink tea but I take it black. I have a real problem getting HEA into my diet as I don't really use milk or cheese. Maybe it would be better if I stuck to cereal...

Plus I didnt think the 1/3 rule meant that every meal had to have 1/3 as long as your total daily intake was 1/3 if that makes any sense?

I dont really use my HEA unless I have cereal in the mornings. I do drink about 1.5 to 2 litres of water today. Lunch was a rush job as I had been out gardening all morning and forgot the time until my wee one told me he was starving :s Maybe I should add more melon & pineapple for dessert...

Just wondering if this sounds like I am doing the ee plan right. Breakfast: melon pineapple grapes 0% greek yog with honey (2 syns) Snack: alpen light bar (.5 heb) Lunch: beans on 1 slice of wholemeal and wee pk of buttons (.5 heb + 3 bread+ 4 buttons + 2 lf marg ) Dinner: pots roasted carrot...

1.5 off for me. . . Dissappointed ah well better off than not

Gonna take your advice and just cook the mince and prep the rest for later.

Me too ;)

Maybe just go for a half hour then

I do use the cheese sauce cos its a meal off

Hey there I'm useless at cooking. Tomorrow is my weigh in and meal off (yippee) so here's my question. In the morning I am going to make and fully cook a lasagne. I want this in the evening after weigh in. hubby will be coming home first with the task of reheating it. I don't want it nuked...

Thanks ;)

Are marrowfat peas like bigga free or super free speed or super speed. Peas confuse me lol

I think the other thing to try to get into your head (easier said than done) is that the weight didn't go on over night. I personally want a magic wand. I want 3 ~ 4lb off a week whereas if I settled myself and aimed for 1 lb a week in a year I would have 4 stone off with only a bit more to go...

Gonna try and make the tuna and sweet corn fritters from the book

Thanks circes for all your advice. Gonna start using the freezer much more.

I really do think I should be planning but the issue is I never know what keeps. If I freeze meat and defrost it even if there is left overs I'm afraid to use it the next day especially if its chicken. I've no idea about freezing bread. I do my own home made soup on a monday but end up throwing...

Just wondering how many on here plan ahead for your weekly menu. I don't and can find myself really stuck for ideas sometimes.

Pasta bacon peas red green and yellow peppers all cooked up with a little quark mixed in. scrummy.

Wow Circes thats an amazing loss in such a short time. Well done you. the consultant sent that out as a text this week after class.

You know you'll have to syn the fruit in the smoothie? Breakfast is always a hard one for me. I love bread but would generally have weetabix or porridge for breakfast so the bread has to go. My consultant reckons that if you eat your heb but then eat synned bread that you will have a gain or...

Thanks everyone for your support. Got back on the wagon and had 2.5 off. Well chuffed :)

Every day . . . Actually if truth be told every time I use the bathroom I see the scales and I just have to get on them. I really am addicted to them.

Put me down for another 2.5 off please :) (4.5 total) Thanks

Apologies for the typos above, stupid smart phone ;)

Made the mousse myself she'd per was lovely. What is this syn free lemon curd?

Thanks again for all those suggestions.

They all sound great. . . thanks :)

Hmmm sounds lovely

I have 2 tubs of quark and Normandy Fromage frais looking at me and I have no idea what to use either of them with . . . All suggestions welcome :)

Thanks very much ;)

You guys prob think I'm a moron but. . . I took chicken out of the freezer last night to defrost it for today but now im not using it. It is still in date to tomorrow. Would it be ok to use tomorrow instead.

Can someone please take 2 lb of for me for this week please

2Nd week back at slimming world and already its out the window. I knew I had a wedding to go to today so on thursday after weigh in I took my boys to the park. On the way back for tea they wanted take out in the local chippy. I obliged. After all it was such a good day I didn't want to say no...

Hey there Can you put me down for a 2lb loss please :)

Thanks for all your recommendations. Used to drink green tea but I found it to leave you really thirsty? Could just be me. Gonna go for the peppermint for now and maybe go back to the green later.

On reading your posts quite a few of you seem to drink a lot of different types of teas. I take black tea normally and would like to try one that would maybe help with the crave for something sweet with the tea, especially after a meal. What do you guys recommend?

I was £54.50 when I joined last week with a 12 week countdown :)

Thanks very much. It's just the original crispbread in the red pack. :) now what to put on it;)

If you dont use Ryvita Crispbread as a HEB how many syns are each one?
