Well today is the day, I got back to my regular class, if I end up putting loads of weight on I think I may speak with my leader about the other classes scales and how way out they are!! False perseptions! But lets hope they were correct... fingers crossed for me! :-)

Thanks for your reply. It is rather odd isnt it? I got on the scales this morning to have another check and again is still saying (presuming my home scales are accurate with my regular class) that I would of put 1lb on! I suppose at the end of the day there may be a little difference in each...

Hi, I am a little confused! Basically I sometimes weigh myself at home and my scales are usually always accurate compared to my usual class that I go to. I expected to put on a pound from seeing my scales this morning but had to go to another class this evening due to work. I got there and ended...

Excellent, thanks very much. X

Hi, I'm off on holiday for a few days but am keen to still go to a class and get weighed. My usual WI class is on Thursday evenings but next week I wont be in the country, am I able to attend another class that has WI's on Wednesdays? It will just be for the one week. Thanks in advance, Laura x

Burgers has to be my fave thing to have on a red day. Has anyone been to Byron? Oh now they are in a different league!

Hi, I know there are plenty of threads with regards to this but nothing actually giving a list as to what is safe/syn free/low syns on a red day. Please please can someone let me know the best options to choose. Also, am I correct in thinking that Harvester used to have slimming world syns on...

Well had my weigh in last night and had a successful 3.5lb loss which I am over the moon about, only 1 more pound and I have hit the stone mark! Anyway, I had my chocolate philly and biscuit treat and I have to say it was even better than having a bad chocolate bar and going way over my syns...

Well I can tell you all now I definately dont incorperate that chocolate bar in my syns, I would go way over on a Thursday night! I think all is pretty well said, and I am going to learn to have what I want BUT within my syns. Tonight I have planned to have a couple of Rich tea biscuits spread...

I meant directly after your weigh in, so for instance mine is 7.30pm, so I would go home have my normal planned dinner and maybe a chocolate bar or something as the treat then from friday morning continue on the plan as normal.

I usually do, but as I havent been having the greatest weight losses I was thinking of stopping doing so, but I just wanted to see how many people did and if they think it might affect their weight loss in any way for the upcoming week? My weigh in is tonight!

Hi All, I know this has been asked before but its not exactly what I'm looking for. Basically, my mum is making a lamb shank but from a fresh one no sauce etc etc. Would they be syns in this? She is going to cook it slimming world friendly. Thanks.

Hi All, Many thanks for all your posts, they have made me feel a bit better so thank you again. With regards to my food diaries I'm unsure as to how to get these on here other than typing them out which to be honest not going to do as at work! Lol, BUT I can say I am 100% confident they are Ok...

I STS last week and last night I put 2lbs on! What the hell? I am not pleased at all, I feel like giving up and starting another diet but I know thats half my problem with my weight is stopping and starting different diets. I need to get that motivation back that I had the first couple of weeks...

Oh dear god, I do hope it changes. I've been taking Benefiber to try and help but hasnt worked plus I have found out that they are syns at 6 tablets for 1 and a half syns!!! What a waste! :cry:

I am not looking forward to WI tonight, my stomach is bloated and even my best friend said you could physically see the bloatness plus I feel I have put weight on. I'm hoping it's because of not going to the toilet since Saturday. Has anyone had this problem 3-4 weeks into their diet?:(

Well I'm very pleased to say I lost 2 pounds last night, I didnt need to be a nervous wreck after all!!

Bacon Sarnie... it was deeeeeelish!!

Yeah I know, I feel confident in the plan, just not my body!!! Lol.

And I am nervous! I feel fat, bloated and am convinced I have put on or stayed the same. I will be so disappointed if that is the result as have been on the diet 100% for all 3 weeks. But we will see. Anyone else had a gain or STS even when they have been 100%? I want to get myself prepared just...

First WI I lost 4 and a half, second WI is tomorrow night and a little nervous as been following a green week this week and worried that all those carbs will have made me put weight on, I've avoided the home scales like the plague but I'm so tempted just to see! Fingers crossed!!

Oh dont, your not the only one. I well and truly fell off the wagon a few months back. i would start one diet one month then give up then start a totally different diet and do the same, i probably done that about 4 different times and now I am back up to my heaviest ever! I am off to my fist SW...

No not intentionally buying things I cant eat but its the temptation then I realise when I get home its not 'diet friendly'. Yeah I will be buying loads of meat and fruit and veg, just wanted to see if anyone had any particular finds or something that is free. Like for instance I didnt realise...

Hey all, Going shopping tonight and am sticking to the original plan. I just wondered if anyone had any finds/tips/likes/low syn stuff that you would recommend I get. I'm terrible at shopping and end up buying stuff that I cant eat on my diet so trying to make a list before I go! Lol. Xxx

Hi, There is a new mexican takeaway by my work and I wanted the help of what you think the syns would be for the above. Basically it consists of romaine lettuce, black or pinto beans, grilled chicken or steak, sour cream and cheese. I'm doing original days by the way. Help is much appreciated...

Yeah you are all so right, but you know how it is, when you make a silly mistake yourself and then think why?! Whats done is done, all I can do is keep my fingers crossed but if not just have to keep to it and hope I lose more than 5lbs before I go on holiday. It seems like its slipping away...

Pretty much had my 10 syns each day except on the 9th I had 6 left so I suppose I can carry those over? Ohhh I am just so frustrated but no one to blame but myself. Hmmm as you say I wont try and dwell on it and what happens Saturday will be and I will just have to accept it even though it will...

I cant believe I didnt check before hand and I am so annoyed at myself! I have just eaten a whole pack (200g) of swedish meatballs and realised they were 27syns!!!!!!!!!! Yes 27syns!! AND I had them yesterday too. I am such a idiot! I really hope I dont put weight on now on my weigh on Saturday...

I havent measure myself yet as cannot locate my tape so going to buy a new one today and do. with regards to the 'with or without the bra' I would say whatever you feel is best for you. When I done the Cambridge diet she done it with my bra but as previously said keep whatever you choose...

Goodbye_wobbles - I can totally understand where you are coming from as I am in exactly the same situation. 1st weigh in had a great 5lb loss and then 2nd weigh in on Monday I STS. I came on here for advice and also to see if anyone had a similar time and it turns out ALOT of people have. I...

Has anyone seen the new caramel creamy activia yoghurts? I think these are the ones in the glass jars. Anyone know the syns for these? They look scrummy!

My current weigh in day is Monday, reason I chose to do this was of it obviously being at the beginning of the week but I just wondered if anyone done Saturday weigh in or if they think changing my weigh in day would be ok? Before anyone says it, its not because I want to be bad over the...

Hi, Just went to the supermarket and they didnt have fresh individual swede so bought the ready made mash you can microwave instead, anyone have the syns for this please? If its too high I will just settle with having salad instead. Thanks.

quads?:confused:

Measuring tape its definitely out tonight then!! Lol, but will have to wait until next time to see if there is any reduction! What body parts shall I measure?

Although I dont want other people to be how I'm feeling or go through the same I have to say that I feel a bit better to hear that others have gone through the same, its a bit of peace of mind ya know. I'm gonna keep trying like I have been the past 2 weeks and hope to see a loss on Monday but...

Thanks for all your advice and support everyone, its very much appreciated. I know this is a lifelong plan and I accept that but as you said its just a bit of a slap in the face when you work so hard and dont see the results for it. As you said I am sticking to the plan this week even though I...

How can I STS???! I'm a mix of upset and furious. I dont get it, stayed in this weekend so I didnt touch a drop of alcohol or was bad eating wise, except for the 15 syn sandwich I didnt realise I ate until later on Saturday but thought that swimming yesterday and LOTS of walking would of worked...

Thanks for letting me know. 15 syns it is then :cry:

Hot Damn! Man I feel like shoving my fingers down my throat now! Great! Grrr, lucky I'm going swimming tomorrow, will need to work that waste of syn sandwich off tomorrow! Thanks for looking though hun xx

Thanks for that, any idea with the sandwich? Sorry x

Hi, I havent had anything to eat at all as been running about for work and only managed to stop at Tesco and pick up a sandwich. I picked up what I thought best for an original day being a Tesco Light Choices BLT. Can anyone tell me the syns? Also if I havent had any hex's can I take the bread...

Thank you x

Hi, I am having chilli tonight and I'm finding it difficult to find the syns for the above. I've got 400g tinned with water and am on an original day. Thanks in advance. X

Honestly, try it. It is really lovely and so satisfying. I tried it the other day with bolognase and that was very nice too. As I ran out of salad/veg thats all I had as a compliment to go with it.

I'm having chilli, and as I wont be having it with rice I'm having it with scrambled egg, I know it may sound rank but I remember years ago having it in the states and it was oh so yummy! I'm a bit addicted to eggs at the moment! Lol x

I just had scrambled eggs with melted cheese in (hex) and ham! yummy!

Thanks alot for the praise girls, really appreciate it, and chiefbridesmaid I didnt think of it like that only 2lbs off until the 1st half a stone! Woo hoo, even more chuffed now! rainbow_brite, good luck for tomorrow I'm sure you will have a fabulous loss!! Xxx

5lbs off baby!! Yeah! I am so happy I just needed to shout about it!! Xx

Okey dokey. Can you tell me the syns?

Hi Girls, Off to a BBQ this afternoon and am confident food wise as have been following the original plan the past week and know this is great for it! Obviously there will be drink and I know white spirits are usually best and if anyone could tell me if the above is OK and how many syns? Thank...

Well done hun, that is an excellent loss!! My first weigh in Monday so hope its just as good. Xx

Yeah, I've already prepared myself for that as I'm not convinced with that loss anyway. Just wanted to see other peoples experiences. Oh well, we will see Monday! X

Yeah are the exactly the same scales from day one and weighed in the same place and the same way (in my pj's). I have switched from WW to SW but in between switching I was eating quite badly on and off. Fingers crossed for Monday, I hope it doesnt change! X

Morning all, Its my 4th day on SW doing original days which I am really enjoying and finding quite easy to follow. Now I know I shouldnt have but I took a sneak peek at the scales this morning and claims I have lost 7lbs! How the hell is that possible in 4 days? I'm thinking I may have to get...

Excellent, thank you for that. I really do hope I find my books, otherwise think I'm gonna have to go to a one off class and get some new ones! xx

I had no milk in the scrambled eggs, just 2 eggs and salt and pepper. I dont have the books (well cant find them at my flat) so cant remember all the hex's I'm allowed. With regards to the potato, what is the weight before it becomes syns? Also with normal white dried pasta how many grams can I...

Hey All, Not done SW in a while and I wanted to check that I have had foods that are ok on an original day? Breakfast: Scrambled egg with Bacon medallions Lunch: Mackeral (I have sinned this as 3syns) salad a be good to yourself onion and cive cottage cheese Dinner: I will be making bolognaise...

Wow! You have done excellent! Good for you! OK, so looks like carbs doesnt really do anything badly just good but the way you girls are talking! I'm deffo starting tomorrow. Fingers crossed! x

Hey, Well done on your weight loss so far! Yeah I heard of the extra easy but I dont think I would trust myself mixing the two as I know I would do something wrong and mess it up somehow! Lol. Green days are good as I know how cheap it can be as well, the only thing I was thinking was maybe the...

Hi All, I did SW a good while back and am debating whether to come back to it. I know it was a good diet and easy to follow but I wanted to find out peoples opinions on their success rates for doing red or green days? Do you find you lose more weight on one particular day? I am off on holiday...

Because I bloody do!! This week being my 2nd week have been using some of my weeklies, so far I have probably used about 18, this being on a little extra for dinners, use of oil to cook, garnish, a treat, you know the norm! No alcohol though and I thought I would get on the scales to see how I...

YUM IN MY TUM! Lol thanks xx

Ooo! I bought these from ASDA the other day but got the mince ones, anyone know what the pp for these are? Thank you. By the way they are all currently £1 at Asda!

Well got on the scales and lost 2lbs, wish it was more but I'm not complaining as its better than nothing and I did cheat a little bit over the weekend with having a couple of drinks! ;) Also I worked out that on average if I lost 2lbs a week up until my holiday I would hopefully lost 20lbs by...

Well went shopping last night and felt I did pretty well! Bought multi packs of tuna, WW tortilla wraps (on offer for £1!), WW chicken, salads etc. Just one thing, I bought a pot of 30% less fat egg mayo sandwich filler and just wondered what the points would be for a tablespoon? I planned to...

Yeah, so this is what I'm confused about, they are 2pp that size tin with sauce? OK so me thinks the best thing for me to do is just use my calculator when I go to the supermarket! Tuna here I come! LoL.

OK so the tins the same size as the WW ones are 2pp? Or is it the standard size that is 2pp? Sorry! :confused:

What size tins? I thought the normal size tins were like 5pp?

Yum Jessiemurf! That all sounds so good! I think I am going to get some WW tuna and then can mix that with pasta or add to salad or wraps/pitta etc. xX

Isnt funny isnt it how lunches can be so complicated when dinners are a breeze! I just hate getting to the supermarket and buy stuff and then cant make anything of it or just rubbish lunches that dont satisfy me then I end up picking on bad food. Wraps sound good. How many pro points are they?

Hi All, Going Asda tonight and I really want to save the pennies as going on holiday and just generally be careful with the money! Has anyone got ideas for lunch that I can take to work? I dont mind cooking before hand. The only thing I ask is that its not soup as I have been eating that for...

Well after a good couple of months totally off the diet I have officially shamed myself and have put all my weight back on including some more! I deserve it I know but now I'm punching myself in the face and thinking why?!!?!?!? I have my holiday in less than 11 weeks and was hoping if I...

Yeah I have WW scales actually, I popped on them this morning and they also said 4lb gain so are pretty accurate. So thats a good idea, I think I will do that if I'm not allowed to go to another class and get weighed! X

Well there is the Saturday but I think doing five days of dieting and to again this Saturday won't give me much chance in getting the 4lb off! So am I allowed to go to another class even though they don't have my details?

Well results are in and my expectations correct and had a 4lb gain! I was surprisingly ok and so was my leader she just said to be good the next two weeks as my next two meetings are closed due to falling on a bank hol! This is gonna be hard! X

Well I've only got 45 mins left until my first weigh in after I have been so bad on the diet the past two weeks! I am so nervous and am going to be so embarrassed as I know for a fact I have put at least 4lbs on! I hang my head in shame and hope to dear god my leader will be ok

Oooo that does sound yum! How many pp is that? Might have tomorrow morning! Lol

I usually have porridge too but fancied something different today! So far I'm satisfied but I usually have an eleven o clock snack so should be fine until lunch. Oh but it was so yum! Lol x

I just had to say I have had the yummiest breakfast for only 1 pro point, I had banana, apple, and grapes with a tablespoon of golden syrup drizzled over. And it was really filling! Yum!

Hi, I fancied an omelette tomorrow morning so was going to make one in advance tonight. Does anyone have any low pp recipes for me? Thanks x

Thanks for all your support, it made me feel even more worse this morning when got on the scales and 3lb on is now 4!! Ahh! Anyway it gave me the hump this morning so am hoping I won't blip again plus I really want to try and get this 4lb off before Monday weigh or is going to be a very...

I really don't know what wrong with me, I've put 3lbs on, not been to my past two weigh ins and still cannot get back on this diet properly!! I tried today and was fine until I got home and my other half bought pizza hut back and I took it upon myself to forget doing my healthy dinner and scoff...

Yeah weighed at home scales I know slap on wrist but I have been keeping tabs on my scales compared to ww and they only seem to be half a pound out. Either way I'm continuing to be good on the diet except for tonight as is me and my boyfriends anniversary so hopefully that won't affect the...

Wow really?! I just don't know what weight to take, it prob doesn't matter as Monday I didn't go as took as holiday so will have to wait until monday coming and see what those scales say!! Very odd! I would be intrigued to try on loads of different clothes and see what the differences are! Lol!

This is the thing, the first weight was with my pyjamas on, the second was with normal work clothes and I wear the same thing every Monday because of this. The last weigh in these clothes only affected my weight by 1/2 pound?! It's so weird isn't it?!

Booked my Monday weigh in as hol last week as was away for mothers day so got on the scales Monday morning to see a fab loss if a pound, well I thought it was, got dressed and went back on scales and 2lb on?! Huh? No way can a simple black dress and tights weigh that much or I would of put that...

Where did you get them from?

Thanks for your support girls, I'm doing ok so far, planning my meals for the next fees days before Monday and hoping to get some pound off by then! Mothers day Sunday and also out for that so it's gonna be another test but I have looked at the menu and already have in mind what I'm gonna choose...

Minimimi!! Love your response! I'm totally looking forward I want to lose that extra six pounds for the stone by the end of this month so as you said stressing about it isn't going to get me there! Lol. One question though.. Why is it when we binge you feel Sooooo hungry the next day!!! Lol xxx

Yeah I am definately being good today especially seeing on the scales that I've put 4lbs on! How the hell that is possible in one day I don't know but I'm telling myself it's water retention as due totm Saturday but I know last night didn't help at all!!

Well went out last night with all good intentions and as soon as I got in the restaurant that was it, the little devils voice was saying go on get the fried veal in breadcrumbs, Grrr! Ended up having deep fried calamari, veal fried in breadcrumbs with pasta and a bloody chocolate covered ice...

Am going to an italian tonight and just wondered what the best things to have were and their pro points? Link is La Nonna Thank you in advance xx

I think you might be on the wrong forum hun, this is for Weight Watchers? ;)

I would say the rice because once cooked it actually amounts to a really decent amount, but then I am a total rice lover!! Lol x

It might be an idea to post your good diaries on here there is great support on this forum and am positive someone will be able to give you help/advice. I know how frustrating it can be, I have tried so many diets in my time as have gone through the same as you. Make sure you drink plenty of...

How did you get on Bertha23? X

3.5lbs off!!! Sooooo pleased! X

I am so hoping for a loss tomorrow afternoon, I only used about 25 of my weeklies and I went to the gym once this week. Anyone got any tips to boost a loss before 1230 tomorrow?! Lol Any tips will be VERY grateful x

Thanks hun x

I know I shouldn't weigh at home and I'm really hoping that they are wrong. I'm going to take advantage of the good weather this weekend and take the bike out and go cycling for a few hours! Hopefully that will burn some pounds off!

Thanks purple rain, but I actually forgot to mention I got on the scales this morning and seems like I've put another pound on, so this being the case it's only 3.5 lbs in 3 weeks! I really don't know what's going on with my body and I really don't know what more I can do. I would mind so much...

Hi all, I'm quite frustrated this morning and reason being is after putting 1lb on last weigh made and being good made me ever so more determined this week. I have kept within my dailies, weighed everything, drunk 2litres of water a day and even went to the gym yesterday! I'm not due on totm...

Good to know littlemizz, thank you x

Yeah, my friend went to the one in new jersey and then there is also one in San Francisco, I've already got my Aunt making a trip there before she comes to the UK!! Lol

If your not pointing them, I'm not pointing them! Lol. Thing is my leader said (as I put weight on this week :() that I need to count and weigh everything including this! I mean how can herbs and spices make you put weight on?! Surely they cant store that much fat or calories, and didn't they...

M&S count on us chicken jambalaya which is yum but 9pp and also adding some mange tout to it to bulk up!

Just to let you all know I heard back from ww with regards to the above and unfortunately are no plans to open a high street store. What a shame! X

Rissole that's a really good point/idea! Online shopping would be a great alternative, I know for a fact I would shop online all the time! No one wants to go to more than one supermarket to get the ww products they want as I know we all do!

I was on SW a long time ago and even though great for the free foods but it didn't teach me portion control which is why I'm fat in the first place! Lol. With regards to hunger I'm afraid I've not been too bad BUT I have been through it and what I used to have which found really helped take away...

Ok I've emailed the ww team so will let you know what the response is! Sad I know but I am very excited about this!! Lol

Stupidity madness thats what!! Lol x

Okay, I think I'm getting it?! Lol. It's so frustrating sometimes. Thanks so much for your help though hun, I think I have been using way too much spices and not counting! I'm gonna count the cumin as 1pp but not the garlic or coriander. X

Thanks for getting back to me pudnpie, sorry to be a pain, but can you explain that if I therefore only have 1tsp or cumin and coriander and not a tablespoon it would be 0pp each? also (sorry) is lazy garlic in the jars free? Thanks. x

Can anyone shed any light on this please? Sorry to bang on but it's for my dinner tonight x

And the other supermarkets sometimes get it wrong!! I'm very tempted to email ww to find out more info on this!

Thanks slim and toned I can't wait to try these! They sound delicious. Poundland is a brilliant place and are excellent for ww stuff, the only thing I've noticed is a lot of their stuff still has the old point system on it!

Hi All, I was talking to my colleague about Weight Watchers and she informed me that in the US they have specific shops just for Weight Watchers!! How great! Now I have googled any in the UK and surprise surprise there are none but found a article that they were thinking of opening one this...

Banana and Oat muffins? Yum, can I have the recipe please? I've refused to go out this weekend so cooking low fat foods/snacks will be at the top of my list! Lol.

I just wondered, when it says that the above are free upto 1 tbsp, is that for each herb or spice or for all that is used at once. For instance, I will be making a chilli tonight so will be using cumin, garlic, coriander and cayenne pepper (all ground and dried). Now can I use a tbsp of each for...

Snack a jacks are 3pp. I got some rice cakes to have with some ww ham only 1pp and some extra light Philly. How about the mini meringue nests? Is it like 3 for 1pp? I can only seem to find them! I'm def having this for my pud tonight!

I'm really liking the idea of the crumpets too, thanks for the points tonic. I'm surprised about the peanut butter as thought would be much higher, thing I like about crumpets is it's like eating something naughty and stodgy but who can complain at 2pp! With regards to the meringue nests I love...

Tesco is right round the corner from me so def going to pop in there to have a try. Thanks for all the ideas, sometimes even though you know all those different things are out there I always seem to get into a routine and stick with eating the same thing! I love crumpets, love em with peanut...

OMG! I thought WW stopped doing the fruity loaf? I used to love it, it's really hard to find, where do you get it from please? When I used to do SW they used to have foods called super foods so would be known to "speed" up your weight loss, such as strawberries etc, are there any for WW?

Just thought on what everyone has for their snacks other than say fruit or snack a jacks which I always tend to have. My leader has said I need to vary my diet as am pretty much having the same thing! So I thought I'd start a thread on what we all have! X

Back from my weigh in and bad news of a 1lb gain. I'm really not pleased. I exercised over the weekend, kept within my dailies and had 20 of my weeklies?! So how can I put on a pound!!!! Fed up with this, I'm constantly struggling with my weight. OK moan over :cry:

I went to one in a hotel. As soon as I got back I went on my exercise bike for an hour!! Lol. I had 2 slices gammon, 1 slice beef, Yorkshire pud, sweet potato mash and loads of other veg so I'm hoping I wasn't too bad! Will find out at 1230 today as my weigh in then, I'm not hopeful at all! X

Thanks for that. So stay away from red meat and keep to gammon or White meat, I'm hoping that they might do boiled potatoes if not will steer clear and just pile up on veg! Just hope I make the right choices a I know it's hard when you have that food choice and the next thing you know I'm saying...

Hey everyone, been looking through the threads and can't find anything on this and wondered if anyone could tell me the points on things at a carvery or what the best things are to have as going for lunch there tomorrow. Thanks xx

I've been on a diet most of my life as I have always struggled with my weight as I love my food. I used to do it for myself 100% and I still do in someway or another, mainly because I want to look and feel good in fashionable clothes, but my main reason which I know it shouldnt be, is to prove...

Thanks for your ideas girlies. Think I'm gonna stroll down the supermarket too and get some inspiration! By the way, I am a bit confused with regards to the pp system for jacket potatoes. If I buy a small potato do I count the points before or after baking? Ahh! Lol x

My lovely mum is making me a Quorn bolognese tonight for my dinner but I want to steer clear from pasta as 1, it gives me severe stomach cramps and 2, its quite high in points for the amount you get? Any one have any ideas on what to have with it please? Thanks x

Yes its really frustrating!! Lucky I have left myself some spare points on my dailies otherwise I would have had to go into my weeklies which I want to save for the weekend!

Ahh I see, so it works the same with this like it does with bread etc. OK so will take it as 3pp for the whole thing. Thanks Smirky x

Oh? Maybe I'm wrong? I worked it out on the calculator as 1pp for the half pack so am I right just doubling it to 2pp for the whole pack? The pack I bought was 120g. I do hope its only 2pp! Lol x

Thanks everyone I ended up getting the blue dragon chow mein sauce which is only 2pp for the whole packet!! Nice!

Hi, I'm planning my meals for the day and wanted to have chicken stir fry tonight, can anyone tell me which stir fry sauce is the lowest point to have please? Sainsburys is my nearest supermarket. Cheers x

And results are 1 1/2 pound off and I drunk my own body weight in alcohol and had a kebab over the weekend! I'm so pleased, not out this weekend so hoping for a better result next week but I can't complain with that! Whoop!

Ooo they all sound lovely!!! Choices choices, I want them all!! Lol. I think I might go for the bolognase as haven't had it in ages plus I've got a ww garlic bread to have with it! Yum! Thank you girlies x

Hey all, went out last night and am struggling with today as all I want to do is eat eat eat!! I've managed to be good so far but have only 11pp left for my dinner and was just wondering if any of you had some ideas for dinner which will be satisfying for my starving self! Lol x

Today's the day! About to make breakfast and think I'm gonna have a ham and onion omelette with toast and then the afternoon I will be out and that's the test. I think salmon or the gammon steak is going to be the best, do you think I could ask them how they cook it? I've managed to save all my...

Last night I made my own tomato sauce with some chicken and had this with veg. Tonight I'm going to have a spicy seafood tomato soup/boubaise with ww garlic bread.

This is the first week I will be using quite a few of mine as will be out on the weekend which involves alcohol and eating out so like you im quite nervous to use them as on my first week being last week I only used about 6 of them! I get weighed in on Monday afternoons so will soon see the outcome!

Hi girls, Last night I went round a friends who kindly picked up some WW wine, now I was really good and only had one glass and stuck to eating fruit and veg sticks! My query is when I worked out on my calculator what one glass would be in points (as the bottle had the old points on) it worked...

Hi All, I'm out Saturday night to see Micky Flanagan and beforehand myself and my otherhalf will be meeting our friends for some lunch in a pub. I wonder if any of you could help me with what i should choose as I dont want to mess the diet up on my 2nd week and my weigh in on monday. Menu below...

Well done!! X

Thanks everyone. Yes thats right Loser85. This diet is way better, for one I feel healthier! It just nice to be able to eat the foods you want but also controlling your portion sizes at the same time. I mean my first week on SF I lost 5lbs and thats just having one meal and two shakes compared...

Well just came back from my first weigh in and I lost 4lbs!! :D I am so pleased, this week I have found the diet quite easy to follow, so hope I can continue on successfully. This weekend will be my first weekend out on the diet so a little scared with that but glad I have the weeklies for...

Hi, just worked out on my calculator and you will be on 33 daily pp and will also have 49 weekly pp to use as you wish. Make sure you use ALL of your dailies though, very important! Good luck!

Well this morning I decided to do some exercise before my 1st weigh in tomorrow lunchtime and man am I suffering now! Got the biggest loser DVD and they really work you, my legs are killing me! But now they feel really heavy, I'm hoping this won't affect my weight tomorrow? I'm nervous as it is...

Thought I would let you all know I just had the nicest dinner consisting of quorn sausages, ww bacon, veg, carrot & swede mash and onion gravy!!! Oh it was delish if I say so myself and at only 10pp it was even more yummy. I'm really enjoying my 1st week on ww, I just hope the weight comes off...

I cam totally understand how your feeling, believe me I have had those days let alone them continuing for more than just a day. Well done for not going to the chippy, you have proved you can be strong and stick to it! I can't explain why we have these days but we do, mine usually happens when...

Well done girl! I'm starting to get nervous now what with my first weekend coming up on my first week on diet, it's gonna be hard, plus weigh in Monday!!

Oh it was yummy and now I'm indulging in a nice cuppa with some go ahead fruit slices!! Is this diet too good to be true I think?? Lol

Just got back from sainsburys and ended up getting the sainsburys be good to yourself shepherds pie for 9pps! You really made me want it. May even treat myself to a slice of ww bread too! Lol

Hmmm shepherds pie!! I've got a sainsbury near me so think I will just pick up a ww meal and a yoghurt or something, I'm starving now!!

Lunch! What's everyone having for lunch today? I am heading out soon to pick something up, not sure what, any ideas?

Ooo I dunno about the chopsticks! Lol, give me a fork and spoon so I can scoff it down! Lol, hmmmm and I wonder why I'm doing weight watchers!!!!!

Well just finished dinner and I must say it was loooooovely!!! Had chicken and stir fry veg and some blue dragon dried noodles which were 5pp per nest!! Yum!

Yeah I was thinking that, I've got some dried five spice too which I think will be nice? Does anyone know what super noodles would be if I didn't use the sauce?

Hey, I'm planning to have stir fry veg with chicken, any ideas though how to cook so isnt bland or to serve with? Thanks

Hi, yeah it's the pp book and calculator which by the way cost a tenner!!! Yeah I think I'm going to do that as I've seen some people complaining about mistakes on books with regards to pp. It's quite annoying! I havent got the nutritional info on me now as at work but can post later to make...

Hi all, I joined up last night and I'm a bit confused with the points as they seem to differ from the book provided and the calculator. Last night I went shopping, bought some frozen quorn sausages and the calculator said they were 1pp each, whereas the book says 2pp each?!! Does anyone know if...

Thank you. I worked out that my pp allowance would be 31, today I've so far had 10 and I'm struggling to have the 21 more!! Lol. But I think that's me just getting used to eating in the day again. With regards to the extra 49 treats points each week, is this something that has to be used or is...

Hi All, I have been doing the SF diet for the past 6 weeks and have so far lost 9lbs BUT its taking its toll and am struggling with having sweet shakes all the time. I do know there is a new Pro Points plan which I have heard gives you more points than the old BUT my main question is does this...

Hey, thanks for that! Really like that idea of going back to my thinking on week one and the amount of motivation I had and why I want to lose this weight for the last time and not go through being on a diet for the rest of my life!! I'm gonna get exercising this week and hope to lose the excess...

It's my sixth week and I am really struggling to not eat or even think about food! I dont know if it's because I over indulged over the weekend for Valentines or my body is getting fed up with the shakes! I must admit I am missing something savoury for brekkie and lunch. I ended up going home...

Well after a whole weekend and last night indulging in gorgeous food this morning I'm back to normality and having my shake, it's hard as I've obviously stretched my stomach and am feeling VERY hungry! But I can do this. Saturday morning before the treats started I lost a pound but I haven't...

Well after a whole weekend and last night indulging in gorgeous food this morning I'm back to normality and having my shake, it's hard as I've obviously stretched my stomach and am feeling VERY hungry! But I can do this. Saturday morning before the treats started I lost a pound but I haven't...

It's crazy isn't it?! Like my bf is only 10stone 7lbs and he eats junk all day long! It makes me sick to see what he can eat and doesn't put any weight on but I know if we were tested I would be the much much healthier one even though I'm heavier! I didnt think of the weight loss in that way...

If you want dramatic weight losses and less calories to have which in my opinion dont think is the greatest as have done myself and then put all the weight back on and believe me it messes up your body is the cambridge diet. It's just shakes and soups and will be having around 400 cals a day...

Wow really? I've never thought of losing weight or diets like this before, but when you explain it like that it really helps and makes more sense on how the body works! See the thing is when I checked what my ideal weight is for my height (5'4) I can never actually see myself being that size as...

That's so true! I mean I've seen other girls who are the same weight as me and look and clearly wear much bigger clothes than me which I find really weird but this must be why?! Ha, bodies are a very funny thing! Well let's hope that I don't have to lose weight as much as I thought and be...

Yeah I suppose that is true, but I always thought it was myth that saying lose slowly put back on slowly... Etc. It just gets frustrating that when your nearing a particular goal date to lose a certain amount it gets quite nerve racking! Lol. I'm keeping at it and to be honest I haven't done ANY...

Hi All, This will be my 5th week on SF and as you can see have lost a total of 8lbs, I know I should be happy with that but I'm not, I think its extremely slow considering other peoples losses and sticking to the diet 100%. I found a couple of weeks ago that I was doing too much exercise and...

Lost 2lbs, so thats half a stone in 4 weeks, not loads I know but at least its going down! Xx

2lbs is really good and as you said the BP prob gained you that extra 1lb but I bet if you weigh yourself tomorrow it will be off. Did anyone watch that extreme diets show on Channel 4 last night? The diet where you get an injection and goes by your individual body type and what foods make you...

Am from West London. The ready made SF shakes are 220cals and the powder ones to make your own are 230cals. Where are you from? I want the low cal shakes!!! Lol

Morning, Well I have upped my calorie intake and wow I didnt realise how much food I wasnt having!! So again hopefully this will work out for me and will tie in with my exercise better. One thing for Mandy, you said you have shakes at 190cals each? I thought SF shakes were either 230 or 220cals...

Ah thank you, thats very sweet of you. So far I have worked out I will have 1,194 cals total today and I already feel like I have had too much!! I really hope I dont put weight on. By the way, I researched symptoms of an underactive thyroid, and I have 3 out of the 5!! So I am going to get...

Ha! Can you imagine?!! :) Very weird our stats are the same and are finding the same problem. OK so I'm going to start eating more and hope that this won't affect me with putting weight on, as I know my body and I will end up putting it all on! For some reason every diet I have been on I only...

Wow! That really is good info. Thanks so much. When is your weigh in from doing this change of plan and eating more cals? Am intrigued as I'm sure you will be to see the results. OK so, at the moment i've been having around 945- and no more than 1100 cals a day, so if I up this to 1200-1300cals...

Right, I see!! Can you tell me where it says that on the website so I can have a read up on it please? My friend actually said to do a little test and to lay off the exercise for a couple of days and weigh myself then and see if there is a difference. Will go from that. If not I'm going to have...

OK, I can kind of understand that, BUT my question is how does SF work for most others then and dont have this problem?

Hi guys, This is my 3rd week on SF and this morning I had my official weigh in. I lost 1lb. Now this is not great as some of you may know who have followed my previous thread I put on a 1lb last weigh in while sticking to the SF diet strictly. I kept to it this week also hoping to have lost a...

Ah thanks for that, since then and feeling guilty I just done 30 mins on my exercise bike!! Lol. But as you said I'm just gonna start a fresh tomorrow and not even look back. Hopefully I wouldn't of made too much of a gain though!

After finding out I put a pound on with being excellent on the diet this week I ended up going all out today, started off the morning well and then my bf offered to take mr for dinner and well of course I said yes and from that I thought it would be fine to just eat bad things in the afternoon...

I seriously have a problem! I weighed myself again this morning to see if that pound was still there!! And yes it was, so I'm going to get on that exercise bike and work my ass off!!! Lol

Thanks so much ladies, you really are a great support. Really appreciate it. Thank you x

Well this week I have actually done less exercise that I did on my first week so is that's what is making a difference? I thought I would of lost also as not meaning to be crude but been for a number two more this week than last? I'm so confused! Thanks for your support and info it's really...

I know I keep saying this but I just don't get it? Why would I put weight on if I have been strict! Have you been good too and still put weight on? It's so annoying!! I wish I didn't weigh myself now, my little devil voice keeps telling me eat eat, you have put on so might as well!! Lol x

Well done! Unlike me I was crying my eyes out this morning as I had a sneaky weigh in before properly on Monday and seems I have put 1lb on! I was so upset, now I'm just angry! I really dont get why I would of put it on considering I have been SOOOOO good, and doing exercise!! I'm not even near...

Just to let you know if any of you love gherkins/pickled cucumbers like I do, I have found the best ever snack! Opies Cocktail Gherkins 227g Jar are only 30 cals for the whole drained jar!! Yes 30 cals!! I could not believe my eyes! Enjoy!

OMG!! You can have a kebab?! I always knew the shish were low but not as low as having it for our 600 cal allowance? Can anyone tell me how many cals are in a chicken shish please? Also what size is that allowing you to have and is it with salad and any sauce/s? Ooooo I am so excited!!!!! Lol

I done it!! I managed not to put any food to my lips!! And I must of drove home in record time!! Lol, I even made my man a homemade curry but I did have the nicest dinner of cod mornay... yum!! Lets hope the hunger doesnt hit any of us today, I always find it harder over the weekend!

I have already had 2litres of water! Ive got the cups of Bovril so may have one of those but think I am going to try a diet coke first. This feeling is horrible! Lol. Thanks for your help, I will get through this, I will get through today, I will not eat!! Lol.

:( Its a very hungry day for me today. I have been finding SF fine and this is my second week but today is HARD! I dont think it helps when work is so quiet and all I want to do is eat. I have had my snacks and now I have to wait til dinner and dont get home til gone 7pm! Ughhh, what can I do...

What shop is B&M or am I being dumb?

Well done to you too!! Im doing mini goals of a stone at a time so easier to think that I only have 9lbs left for my first stone!! Lol.

I am pleased to announce on my first week I have lost 5lbs!!! Whoop! I am so pleased xx

Yeah I did too, the ready made ones are going to be ideal for the weekend I think, just bung in the handbag and no excuse to have anything else!! Lol.

Just to let you all know I have just been to savers at the tubs are £2.99 and ready made bottles only 89p!!

hi, me and my friend are having a debate as to how many calories are in a clementine. i say 24 and she 38, can anyone help? I've looked on websites and they seem to say both!

Thanks bubbles, thats great to know, and to be honest I wasnt going to count it in my allowance either as thought it would just be hardly any cals. I am really looking forward to seeing the outcome on my first weigh in as at the moment I feel really good and positive even though it is my 2nd...

Morning, Well last night I managed to do 25 mins and burnt off 245 calories of the 995 calories i consumed yesterday! So not bad going! And I definately had a sheen on me! Does anyone know about the coffee with sweetners? I hope its ok as am having one now!! xx

When will we be touching base with our weight? The 1st of Feb or weekly?

can I please be added? 14lbs by feb. thanks! x

Hi there, Wonder if you could help please? Is there any limit on having black coffee with sweetners? I'm only having around 1000cals a day is this ok or will it affect the diet going wrong? I'm starting to exercise in the evenings as have just bought an exercise bike, any clues to how long I...

Hi All, After being on SW I decided to come off as for some reason this diet just stopped working for me, I have tried other diets in the past but I just didnt like them and a friend recommended and lost a lot of weight on Slimfast so thought I would try this for the new year. For my first day...

Hi All, For some reason my body is no longer taking to the wonderful SW diet and have to start calorie counting which I think will help my portion control which I have always had a problem with. Can you tell me how many calories you have a day and what you would advise?

Hi there, I'm already thinking about what to have for lunch and as its cold I thought baked beans and mash might be nice! Anyone know what the syns might be for a ready prepared mash that you stick in the microwave? I'm near to a Sainsburys and M&S. Thank you.

Quorn is the best invention ever! Sometimes I do wonder how it can still be free on a green day though considering its mostly protein? Or maybe I am just being silly! I was tempted to get on the scales this morning to see if I had lost any of the 5lb gain but I was strong and resisted and am...

Hi need2bslim, You might of seen my topic of 'I'm never doing a red day again' well thats because I put weight on doing it. Now I'm not saying dont becuase EVERYONE is different but my point is YES you can lose weight on Green. I done green for 2 weeks and lost 6lbs and ate loads! With regards...

Quorn!! Oh god bless it! I live on Quorn and I really didnt have it whilst on a red day as i didnt really see the point as you can have the real thing? Anyway being back on green and much happier I have my favourite Chilli Con Quorn, yummy!! Plus I think it makes you regular toilet wise...

Ah the loo! Do you know what I remember not going to the loo AT ALL that whole week, I actually had to buy and take Benefibre to help. Now I have started back on the green everything seems back to normal. Its totm Sunday and already starting to feel a little bloated but I'm making sure I drink...

Lol, honestly they are really good but red and green (now I have discovered) is not for everyone, I'm obviously just a green person and my body adjusts better to that. EE i tried but couldnt get my head round the 3rd of your plate free food and the remaining etc. So this way I know what not to...

Thanks AmyS, thats a real motivational booster as I have felt like the right dumps this week since finding that out. It would be lovely to see that weight come off by Monday but I wont get my hopes up too much. I have to be sensible and just keep going for it and well stay green! Lol. Red I dont...

Yeah I suppose. Thanks Jaylou for your support I really appreciate it. I'm just going to try my hardest and hope that I can get this 5lbs off, well 4 now as managed to get 1 off so far! Xx

Gin with slim line and white wine with soda, so it looks like its got to be this as I seriously wasnt bad food wise. Oh well, looks like no alcohol for me until my holiday! Great! Fingers crossed for Monday weigh in, but I'm not hoping for much as only be a day after totm!! grrr its a never...

I know its just horrendous. I feel like crap as now put most of my weight I lost back on and now got to start all over again! I did have some alcohol over the weekend but that never usually affects me plus I was walking A LOT!! I back on the green week this week so hope for the best, the only...

Well, I pretty much done the whole of last week a red day, as I had quite a few meat products which needed to be eaten. I know how red works and stayed on plan 100%, hated it, got bad skin and put 5lbs on! What the?!!! Anyone else had a similar experience being on a red? X

Hi, I've just eaten a 28g bag of jelly babies, anyone know the syns please?

oooo, a bit like a creme brulee then but without the sugar on top! They sound lovely!! Thanks for the recipe, look forward to hearing how they taste!

sw spiced custard?! I'm intrigued! Whats that?! I'm starting to think a chicken salad too as on a Red day..yummy!

ooo sounds yummy! I had beef curry last night but was round someone elses house so didnt feel like I could take some! lol.

I know its only 10.19am but I like to plan what I'm having... I have no clue! So I thought I'd ask you all what you are having for lunch? Xx

I go alone also has hours of work are too long, and I find it fine, with the help of minimins its just as good as going to group. I have been doing it alone for 2 weeks so far and have lost 6lbs. Good Luck xx

I had one today and it made me feel so good, my colleague come into the office and went oh its you! Proceeding to say that he saw me opening the office and didnt recognise who I was and said I have lost loads of weight!! I beamed with delight especially as I have only lost 6lbs in two weeks! If...

Oh cool, pretty much how I do mine then. Thanks for that xx

Ooo mint sauce I forgot about that! How do you make your Lamb Steaks?

I've got lamb steaks tonight and thats it! Lol, on a red day so not sure what to have with it other than boring veg! Any ideas please? xx

Hi All, Been given a bag of these by my colleague as are apparantely lovely and I just wanted to know what syns they were please? Its a 24g bag with 99 cals for the whole lot. Cheers xx

You can get them on Amazon, cant remember how much but I dont think they are extreme.

Hi All, Walking around M&S and discovered the calamari, my friend says they are delicious, so wondered if anyone knew the syns for these on a red day or even if they are free? For the whole pack they are 170 cals. Thanks.

I also use Splenda as tastes the most realistic, they also have a selection which is 'flavours for coffee' and they are yummy! flavours like french vanilla, mocha, hazelnut and caramel, with 0 calories and not having to worry about any syns they really do feel like a lovely treat! I advise you...

Ah thank you. Well the menu says the tuna steak is chargrilled so presume if I was on a red day this would be free? Good idea with the dressing to be put on the side! Will definately ask them to do that. Lamb doesnt say how or what it is cooked in so am thinking that tuna maybe the better option?

Off to a family lunch on Sunday, and looked at the menu, I have picked out the two most best/sw friendly ones and wanted your opinion on which one I should have? So its out of Marinated Lamb rump with greek salad and pitta bread OR Tuna steak with nicoise salad and quails eggs? If you have any...

I was thinking this too, fish is always best! Its going to be hard, but I have to get used to eating out and making sensible options! Scary thing is though is my weigh in is on Monday so I really hope it doesnt affect it!! arghh!

Hi, I have a family lunch to attend which is in the pub and I have been looking at the menu and nothing seems to be very good for SW, so I wanted to know what you all felt would be a good idea? Menu below. They serve Sunday Roasts too, so maybe would that be a good idea but get them to put the...

hmmm sounds nice, this might sound disgusting but how about jacket potatoe? Its that canned one I have.

Hi All, I have some Veg ravioli, what can I have with it? Thanks

I cannot find this anywhere! Can anyone who lives in London tell me which Asda they go to? Or am I looking in the wrong aisle for this? I usually go to the aisle where there are like tinned beans, tinned chicken curries etc, is this correct? I want it so bad! Lol x

Hi All, I've been doing SW on my own for the past couple of weeks and I would love to go to classes but work very long hours. Now looking through the threads I have seen some of you mention the weigh & go classes and these sound perfect for me with my hours. I have looked online and cant find...

No I do it on my own, so its my scales or no scales. I used to go to class so have all the books but then my hours of work grew and I have no time at all EVER!! grrr! Thanks for all your advice, I really am going to take this on board and do what you say. Dont mean to go on asking questions but...

OK thats cool then, I dont feel as bad not exercising! I prefer green days so I think I will introduce more of those in my diet then. I love the Quorn roast chicken style slices, when I looked in my book I couldnt find them but compared them to other products and assumed them as free, does any...

You guys are so good, thank you. You really have perked me up and to hear all you have the same/similar problems doesnt make me feel singled out and that I am a failure! No this is a diet for long term, the nine weeks is literally a goal until my holiday thats all, I will be back on it straight...

Hiya, Thanks for your posts. Well the reason I say strict is I am always one to fail and fall off the diet wagon after 2 weeks. The 9 weeks is when my holiday is so its a mini goal for me to head to. Obviously when I get back from this hol it will just be a normal plan which obviously I know is...

Morning, I started my strict nine week regime beginning of this week and I know I really shouldnt have but I took a sneak peek at the scales this morning and I had the horrible result of 3 pounds on!! I am so upset as I have been really good, I even have 1.5 litres of water a day! I just dont...

I've been having these american salteen crackers and they are yummy! they are called premium and for five of them they are only 60 cals and 0g fat! I'm working them out as 3syns for them, do you think thats right? Anyway I know they sell them in Asda in the around the world section and they...

Hey girls, My lovely boyfriend bought me a wii fit a while ago and as I am so determined to get this weight off I just wanted to know if anyone else uses this and has seen results from using it? xxx
