I wonder if PMI would cover the removal of excess skin - so if someone was loosing weight and started notiching they had it, they could set up PMI (or already have it) and then after 12 months or when ever they have lost the weight get the op on the PMI - I am not sure if PMI covers cosmetic...

Oh that was a quick fix! Highlight the row under the row you last completed (i.e the blank one that it won't let you fill in) so click on the number of the row so it highlights the whole lot. Then click on the Review Tab at the top and then simply select "Unprotect Sheet" then do what Squiddie...

Ditto - Mine is the same > If I figure it out, I will let you know, unless squiddie gets back to us first with advice!

1/2 off. Not great, but happy with that as had a kids birthday party on Saturday which turned in to an adults party about 5pm so booze was flowing. I stayed away from the kids party food though which was a bonus,

Well I was chuffed to loose 3 last night which gave me my 1/2 stone award. 1/2 stone in 4 weeks isn't "the best" loss I know but I am so happy and it has given me what it needs to spur me on. Another good week coming up for a great loss next tuesday. Positivity breeds positivity. In other...

Whoops - keep forgetting to update my diary!! Well it's weigh in tonight. Last week I STS but I was happy with that as it was That time of the month and I usually put on, I had a sneaky scale just this morning and I was a fair few lb's lighter but a) it was morning and b) my scales are...

I made this at the weekend to go with the BBQ meat & salad so I didn't have to Syn Sauce and it was gorgeous, I will be making a big pot of this to keep in the fridge to have with my lunches/teas probably daily ha!

I will let you know how I Find the 30DS - I expect it to be hard haha. I've not actually looked at it, so I don't know if it is a Daily thing or alternate or what - I will let you know the outcome though!

haha well I don't actually think I am IN any photos unless anyone got any decent ones of me at the front during the actual christening! I was/am always the one BEHIND the camera....at the moment. I am doing Red days (always do!) so unfortunately the Cous Cous is syned but I put it in at 25g...

Thanks Anju - We had a lovely day, it was really good and lovely to see family who don't live close by and the sun was shining so that was a bonus. I have not got round to getting the pics of the camera's yet but will pop a few up when I have - hopefully there will me none of me and just my...

That river cobbler looks lovely!

well it is my Daughters christening on Sunday, we have left it a little late as she is 2 in August but time just ran away with us and we never got around to booking it! She is VERY excited about having a party - I am hoping I still manage a loss on the scales come tuesday. I am taking some SW...

ooo 5 sweets for 1 syn - not toooo bad. I now have 10 lined up on my desk and am sucking them slowly haha

you should give it ago. I had never done anything when I did my first, but I managed it and it looked great. you just need a good sander and a some decent primer and anything you do on top should turn out great! I also thought you said "melon in a mugshot" I was going to say that is just weird...

Ha - I just nipped to the toilet and cam back and all staff have had a delivery on our desks, looks like a metal pencil case time and says on it "this is a thank you from us to you for "doing what it says on the tin" and standing by our company strapline as we have been voted most trusted...

I never make anything that interesting not only just when we have not been shopping, just all the time haha. I try but a) it NEVER looks like the pictures and b) it NEVER tastes like I imagine it should do haha!! Upcycling for me is basically re-cycling crap battered old stuff for use in a...

that's great though about the confidence thing - I used to be really confident, now I may appear confident to people but am not and always think of ways to get out of things. Like next wednesday lunch time, 2 of the ladies I work with have convinced me to go to a Bums & Tums class and I am...

Your doing really well and your food looks Yum so just Subbing! Keep up the good work

Well done on the 3lb that is brilliant as well and as for the 3.5 stone that is AMAZING - I bet you fell over the moon! Have you noticed it make a bit impact on your life, like are things really that much easier, has your confidence rocketed? Keep up the good work!

Yeah Anju I am really focused this time, I don't know what has changed, maybe I have got to a point where my head has just said "STOP" or something but I am liking this new focused me! I forgot to do magic porridge last night so this morning, I made it with water (which tastes rank imo) but I...

Well tonight is the big night - weigh in number 1. Fingers crossed for a decent loss. I haven't done any exercise which is BAAAAD but I need to try and find time to work this in to my busy schedule - even if I can just manage 20 mins on the wii fit or Just dance a nice, or if I DL the 30 day...

wow super proud of myself. Tonight I am working, it isn't often I have to work weekends but as I work in IT for a building society they do the big system change releases at a weekend every 6 weeks, tonight was my weekend to do one, usually its 4pm-9pm if nothing goes wrong, you guessed it I'll...

Looks like we had the same experience with the fasting then!! I think I am the same, ate what I wanted (and not all the right things either!) and too much of it to boot!! How was Ascot? Did you have any wins. I love the races but have not been for years - I think we will have to plan a trip...

Yeah I he has a very strict calorie intake and also protein and fats etc which is why he removed some of the yolks or he would be over his "remit" so to speak - if it doesn't make a difference that's good! Thanks anju. I think it's a mental thing as well, my friend who is doing it with me...

Well yesterday went well, the extra food was brill and I was not hungry all day. I really like that SW Quiche! I sit next to a guy at work who is a body builder outside of work, he has a VERY strict eating regime but he took the recipe from me, worked out all the stuff he needed and said it is...

That looks really nice Gem_bear [runs off to slimming eats to get more recipes]

haha good plan, I have hidden mine before but hubby always gets them back out as he likes to weigh himself, don't know why, he is a beanpole ha!

wow been looking through this thread for days, I have some great ideas thanks to you guys :D Last night I made the Turkey burgers of the SW Website but I added some fresh chilli's and some garlic to it, SW chips and a bacon & mushroom salad, topped of with some home made spicey sauce which is 2...

Yeah Ally89 I didn't think they would work but I made the turkey burgers last night and they were delicious! Adapted the recipe a bit to make it spicy though. My DS who is the fussiest eater on earth tried a bit of mine and asked for one, he had about a quater till his mouth started burning...

Well today is going OK. I must plan a better breakfast tomorrow as yoghurt and fruit don't fill me evidently! I had 1 grapefruit, a hand full of grapes and a muller light over the top, started it at around 8.20am (at work) and ate slowly so didn't finish till about 8.45 and by 9.30 I was...

Hi Claire - how did you find the fasting? I found it easy really but it didn't seem to be having much of a loss on the scales although I did loose some CM when it wasn't showing on the scales. You are supposed to feel loads better at 2/4 weeks with it, but I felt no different haha! Class...

I know - I will have find them a new way to annoy me, although I am sure they will figure that one out all by themselves hehe! I am actually quite excited for tonight haha!

that is brilliant in 16 weeks I am sure you will be in your 10's in no time! Keep it up!

When we have a night out, I am the one taking the photos usually, and when someone else takes them I mainly hide my body behind who ever else is in the shot and lift the chin to remove the double one so there not too bad, but then I go scanning all the pics every one uploads the next day and it...

That brilliant in such a short space of time - well done!! Hi to all Newbies.....Im a re-new-newbie!! This is my 3rd time starting slimming world, I am re-joining tonight. Let's hope I actually do something this time - I am always full of good intentions but my will power lets me down, it...

I have been reading through your Diary and WOWZERS your loss is an inspiration. I'm really grateful you posted your before & during pics as you look bloody fantastic and it shows me I can do it and what I "could" look like if I work as hard as you!! Well done, keep it up, I'm gonna keep...

Well I finally have my head in the game after doing JUDDD diet for 4 weeks it has taught me a lot about my body and it's need (or rather lack of it!) for food - and also to drink my water allowance daily haha! I "left" SW in Nov, I basically went on holiday to America and never went back...

it's the first time I had made millionaires short bread and I must say it was bloody delicious - nicer than a lot of shop bought versions I have had before! It was well worth it and yeah FAR better than a muller light. I do actually like the muller lights, well only Rasberry, toffee and some...

Fast day today and I woke up starving....not a good sign - oh and I forgot my lunch, double baddy.

yeah that is what is keeping me at it to be honest - as even though its 1lb a week average I'm not feeling the "diet" at all - it's like every other day is a standard none diet day, so loosing without really restricting is great. I do need to rein in the UD though, I'm staying in my cals but I...

I don't know, I have been told it is a Myth but I do know that if I did SW and did either all "Red" days (protein and limited carbs) I would loose anything from 1-4lbs and if I did all green Days (carbs and limited protein) then I would STS sometimes put on a small amount, if I did a mix and...

Thanks hun! Iv'e been MIA for a few days as I have been off work and really busy but the nice Genius guys at the apple store fixed my laptop on Monday so I can now use it again whoop! Anyway another 1lb off on weigh in on Tuesday and I got on again this morning and another 1lb gone, but I am...

I always eat lunch and then a late tea when Im fasting but no snacks. I try and hold lunch off till 12, usually manage till about 12.30. I usually have my last food on my UP no later than 8pm though (latest) so it's a good 16 hours with nothing, then usually about 150 cals for lunch then 350...

I am yes - However I am always about 300/400 under what Dr J says I should be having, I read yesterday that, that is bad and you should fully eat the cals not stay under them?? I also think Carbs HATE me with a passion, well I know this from doing Slimming World, but I have been carrying on with...

Yes hopefully this is what it is. I saw a post elsewhere where someone posted their weight daily and it fluctuated so much for the first 3-4 weeks so I am hoping that is is. I actually was 17s 12lb this week and have consistently been bouncing back to that so I think I'm gonna go with a 2lb...

well done on sticking with the DC!! I have heard of that equator, is it nice? I don't like normal larger (like say stella/carlsberg etc) but like "light" larger like Corona/Desperado - I wonder if I should try it! Would be lovely to drink some if the weather stays like this with out worrying...

Hoping you all had good Sunny fast weekends and were not to tempted by ice cream and cold alcoholic beverages ha!! I fasted on Saturday, it was "ok" but not great as I had been out Friday night with friends and so was craving something bad, I resisted and saved up my cals so I could have some...

Thank you.....I'm praying for a miracle but I sneaked on this morning (bad girl) and nada, nothing, zip. Not really holding out much hope for tomorrow. I must be doing something wrong.

Ha really, if it's not quiet can you not sleep then?? Bet your Hubby wakes up with a knee/elbow in his back if he starts snoring doesn't he haha Ahh I wasn't sure if the dark circles from dehydration was one of the first stages or last stages, it must be one of the last stages then, so it can't...

Aww sorry you didn't manage to the time you wanted to get to - I don't know if I could last longer than around 1pm either (that is from eating at 7/8pm the previous night) without needing SOME thing at the least, that is why I have opted to go for the 2 meals for the first few weeks in the hope...

good luck on your fast day denise!! I am on mine as well, today is the worse fast day I have done in terms of tummy rumbling but it's not tooo bad I don't feel. I am waiting till 12.30 then will be taking my lunch (I am at work) which is a higher than I would usually have calorie soups but...

thanks ladybird. Yes it drives me bloody mental - I have to sleep with a rolled up pair of socks (you know when you roll 2 socks over each other to keep a pair together) slotted under my jaw so I can get to sleep - if it gets bad in the night and I have moved positions It wakes me up and I have...

No Not at all - I usually have none and just stick to water, if I do decide I have enough cals left for a splash of milk I will have one mug of tea in the afternoon and one mug of coffee about 8pm but that is it. I see what you mean though, I do think it would be worse in a morning wouldn't it...

I am going to be monitoring this over the next 2 weeks, if it's in this diary I can look back and get accurate results so.... DD number 3 :- PT is much worse again today - seems to be getting louder as the day goes on....maybe the lack of food is making my blood flow differently? Who knows -...

Similar to you really I don't wake up starved I can actually go till 1pm without much of an issue with no food 500 cals actually goes a long way if you plan it right I have only been doing it 5 days though so don't have any more surprises yet - I am sure there will be some though lol

good luck on todays fasting guys!! I'm on my fast as well, feeling ok right now, just had a tin of soup, that is it until tea time though boooooo. Worst thing is my mum is at my house today looking after DD and she said the mince I have in the fridge needs to be cooked today, so I have to get...

excellent thanks for that - I do have a juicer, I have just never used it!! I will give it ago. Last DD this week - it's going OK, I have noticed I am getting REALLY BAD dark circles under my eyes, this could be unrelated as I have not been sleeping well due to my Pulsatile Tinnitus - It was so...

I just wanted to make a note so I could monitor this as well as it could be a coincidence BUT I have pulsatile tinnitus (I can basically hear a massive wooshing in my right hear which wooshes to the beat of my heart, its the blood pumping through an artery or something). Anyway on my 2 DD's it...

Well my DD at work yesterday didn't go bad at all, I did have a few bits where I was hungry and felt a few pangs in my tummy but I ignored them and they passed. I went to the shops with my friends over lunch so made it to 1pm no problems really, then I had a can of heinz Chicken noodle soup. I...

OK so according to MFP yesterday I came in at 1830 Cals - I think in reality it was probably more as I couldn't accurately pick what I had eaten as most of the stuff listed was branded and buying from the canteen at work for example I have no idea what brand the bread roll is or how much it...

Thank you - Yeah I think I will have to lower them bit by bit rather than the "boom gone" way of doing things!! I don't know if I could stomach juiced veg, just the thought of it makes me wretch lol - do you put anything else in or just like a load of raw veg and blend it up?? I am OK doing...

Just wanted to say good luck and you can do it - how are you going so far now your back on it? I do think 1st on in that amount of time when you have been eating whatever you want 4 days week is good though, well not good but you know what I mean, good that it wasn't more, and as for...

Today is going ok so far - I am also trying to reduce my portion sizes as I am aware I do tend to over eat, I don't stop when I'm full I stop when the plate is cleared, I hate waste! (this is not just food related, I have endless half tins of paint in the garage for example, although I'm not...

Well Yesterday Monday 20th May was my first day on JUDDD! I started with my first DD full of the joys of spring....well you know as joyous as you can be in miserable northern spring weather! I was positive, it felt good, it was one day, I could easily last one day right.....? Well yes actually...

ooooo defined arms.....one day that would be amazing lol!! I was gonna get the tins of beans out but found my husbands weights in the garage (dusty and cobwebbed shows how much he uses them!) so I think I will lift them every night when I nip downstairs to hang the washing - a quick 15 min lift...

A buffer is always a bonus!! I'm just looking forward to proper frying some onions and mushrooms in lovely olive oil and chucking them on top of a gorgeous medium/rare steak....suppose some proper chips would go nice with that as well haha!! thanks for your help x

Yeah that makes sense Clareel as my husband is forever agreeing to things last minute so good to keep them "In Case" - I don't like nuts...or Avocado...or....no I'm just kidding i like olive oil - Oooo yes I have been using the fry light spray for so long but this means I can have some nice...

Thanks - I am actually looking forward to starting it! I can't wait to see if it works and the body changes that everyone is talking about. I have an apron tummy so really looking forward to seeing that reduced haha!! on my UD I am still aiming to steer relatively clear of Carbs, especially...

Just looked at my menu again - if I'm to eat just twice to get the best effect I think I will be best having 1pm : Magic Porridge = 232 Cals 7pm : Tuna Steak (or Other Fish) = Approx 110 Cal 75g Cous Cous = 118 Cal Full Red Pepper = 15 Cals 20 Ml Light Soy = 12 Cals...

Thank you Carrot_tit Thanks for the Information Irish-Ozzy - I never thought of it like that, I thought it was just better / healthier to feed my body little & often to get it through the day lol - I will give your way a go though and see how I get on. I guess after a week or 2 of doing it...

Thanks for the replies they have answered my questions!! Glad I don't have to do the dreaded shakes and glad I can exercise on a DD with out any real trouble! I give the tablet a miss for now....if I happen to be in town when there happens to be one of these 1p sales on I may pick some up but...

I did the calorie thing on the website and put in I do "moderate" exercise (as I do the C25k so currently run 2.6 miles in 30 mins, 3 x a week) and I am tall at 5ft 10 and 32 yrs old and currently at 17s 10lb (grrrrrr) and it said DD is 574 cals and UP is 2978 cals - now that seems A LOT to me...

Hi all - Newbie to JUDDD here and thought I would get a Diary set up in Prep for Day 1 on Monday which will be a DD! I have purchased a Journal to keep in my bag so I have a handy reference Guide and I have been researching on My Fitness Pal on low calorie foods so I can get a meal plan...

Hi All, I have been doing SW for years on and off and it is just not working for me right now for whatever reason, no matter how much I stick to it I don't really seem to be loosing anything (scales or measurements!) and so then I inevitably fall off the wagon then get on it again and so on and...

Thanks you x

I like the idea of making soups (I've never made them before) potato & Leek and I had a lovely spinach one once and I do like a nice bit of quiche so that is a plan as well, thanks for the tips. I don't think that I can afford to go to class to be honest, I will check our finances again...

Well it looks like I am back at the beginning (well nearly) :wave_cry: I mean the one (the only!) good thing about being back at the start is the reason I am back at the start is due to being pregnant and having a beautiful new baby girl now, BUT I still feel disappointed that I didn't stick...

I havn't been on here for.....gosh AAGGEESSS. I'm annoyed/embarrassed/ashamed to say I've put on 1.5stone through my pregnancy to date (i'm 29 weeks on Sunday!) I do not want to put on anymore and infact really want to get back on the SW plan with the aim of loosing a little bit over the next...

Hello All I'm coming to join you in here to hopefully stop myself getting back to Pre-SW weight and hopefully reduce the risk of putting on a substancial amount while pregnant. I'm only 5+2 right now and already ive put on 3lb according to my scales (I couldnt get to class last week due to...

Great pics everyone :D

This is very interesting and it confirmed what I thought, Im a meat eater and dont suit carbs (which was confirmed by me doing Green days and loosing nada and switching to reds and start loosing!) Thanks for the link!

wow these pictures are all amazing!! Dont we have a bunch of hotties on here :D Hope ill be joing you all someday, you are all my inspiration!

Remind me never to have Scallops again :jelous::jelous::jelous: Lol

Thank you so much ladies! I understand what you mean about the clock cooking in the pan, I didnt know thats why they did it though!! Thanks for the tip, Ill cook them just like that. I will be doing them I think then with Roasted Red Peppers & Onions and a side salad yummy. Appologies for...

Scallops??!? Ive put this request in the recepie seciton to but.... Ive bought some scallops, how do I cook them and what do they go with, any red day scallopy meals anyone?? I dont even know if ive ever tried them before let alone cooked them! :D

I said we should go to Scarb but DH said "well what is there to do in Scarb and I couldn't answer so we went to Whitby lol sorry you missed out on the Gammon it was scrummy haha, no mushrooms & Onions though as DH had taken the Mushrooms to work :rolleyes: so just broccolli & SW Chips. I did...

I bought some Scallops a few weeks ago and got them out the freezer last night for tea tonight, problem is I've never cooked them before EVER haha so I have no idea how to cook them or even what to do them with!! Does anyone have any ideas/receipies, Im on Red day? Thanks in Advance :p

Well I was on day shifts at work all weekend & Mon & Tue of this week so 7am-7pm urgh I hate day shifts (infact I hate night shifts to so maybe its just work I hate lol) I have breakfast, dinner & tea & work & there are loads of temptations, I usually steer pretty clear and this shift was no...

Thank you for luck, I'll certainly need it, think Ill still be where I am when Im 38 lol.

You come home and eat some Galaxy Chocolate :sign0007::4633: Decided to try and start doing a walk every day with the Little One when Im not at work then hopefully I can build up my fitness a bit to start the running I want to get in to, so we walked a mile to the park, ran up the big hill to...

but he deffo said pint of strongbow was 9 NOT 11...what a tool, this is like the 4th thing he has syned wrongly to me!! Anyone know where I can find the syns of Kobberburg as I cant find it on the syns online!! We have a consultant visiting this week if she is better then were switching!

Sorry Complete Brain Fuzz, I just text my Friend who I go to SW with to say consultant had it wrong and she said I was mental and it was the Kopperburg Fruit Ciders he said were 7 Syns and that it was OK as thats what I drank on our night out lol good job this thread came up before my night out...

Better bloody not be or Ill kill him lol. He runs a pub so he said he asked them at on of their head office meetings and they said it was 7 Syns. He was surprised as he said he thought it was the same or More than a pint of Strongbow (which he said was 9 syns).

well done on the 5 stone loss thats EXCELLENT hun. I to feel like Ive had wasted years so really trying to sort out my life now! Ellebear Im with you there hun I dont ever have to WANT to be slim again, when I reach my goal I fully intend to stay there

My SW consultant told me the pint bottles of Magners were 7 syns so I drink that now as I was having Double G&T which was 5 Syns anyway, Id rather have 2 more syns per drink and pay less, lasts longer and tastes nicer lol

Well I mad the Prawn Goan curry (again) from the SW book last night, with my own alterations and it was Yummy, does 2 meals as well so will be having left overs for tea tonight. Had the usual Poached eggs on toast for breaky which is my favourite breaky, just deciding what to have for lunch, I...

Im hoping in another few years I can look back on this current book and be 7 stone lighter :D:D Im glad were all happy, were all doing well arnt we! YEY for us haha

I was under the impression though you had to have a 3rd of your plate as superfree and if she hasnt had any superfree foods at all then is it not better to just choose red or green and syn the difference?

Well I want to loose ALOT of my weight by November, I know I wont loose it all but I want to loose as much of it as I can by then and there are 3 simple reasons for this... 1) Im turning 30 2) Were going on Holiday for 2 weeks & I want to be comfortable again for the first time in years 3) I...

Im guessing there was a hell of alot more spagetti than prawn? Was the calamari in Batter? Id say it all depends on amounts, on red Calamari in Batter is 1 syn a ring, on Green 2.5 if you only had say 5 rings Id syn the Calamari, have the prawns as HEXB and Pasta as green if you had loads of...

I just found my old SW book in the cupboard from when I first joined back in 2004 and my first weigh in I was 16st 11.5lb, I only had 2 weigh ins so I must of quit, back then I probably decided the pub was more fun :p but Im really please that as im now bang on 17 its only 2.5lb to go to get...

Thank you mini, im gonna need that luck for the exercising :D

:DYEY WELL DONE:D

1/2 stone award which I find amusing as Ive been there like 18 weeks or something :rotflmao: but Im only actually basing it that I "re-started" 6 weeks ago as thats when I finally decided Green & EE's had defeated me and went back on to Red Days for good so Im 6lb down in 6 weeks (2lb loss the...

yeah you just need to thicken up your butter cream. You need block butter (as in not the stuff in tubs as the tub stuff has been broken down and has water added) and more icing sugar, just keep adding icing sugar untill its thick enough. Side note though its REALLY hard to get your swirls like...

Thank you angie, you are so kind & quite a motivator!! I have been as good as I can be while at work & having my 3 meals a day here & not being prepaird, so im quite happy with myself :D I know, I always look in the past and never look to the future, I just cant picture myself slim, I think...

I was scared so I swerved it :cry::o:o well I kinda swerved it cause I was scared, we havn't been able to go shopping all week (been to busy working & then on days off all my days have been full doing cake orders and visiting) so no "proper" food as I call it to cook within my limits & ive...

were on the same page then. Ill check out that cake journal! Cakecentral.com is good as well, that was my first site I used actually!

You Tube is great for little tuts, even basic how to cover a cake in fondant smoothly down to how to make figures etc. There are lots of Cake blogs about there really great to red, lots of the bloggers but instruction/recipies up. I love these 3 & learnt alot from Lorraines Stuff (the first...

good luck for the week ahead you have such a lovley OH as well giving up wine for you while my DH supports ME giving up everything he won't give up a thing (stick thin :mad:)

I found this answer on Yahoo....

Ill do it but really dumb question alert...how do you make it!! I tried it with Tetley green tea with lemon & it was tasteless so I got Twinings with Pinapple & (?) something else & again it tastes like dirty hot water! I pop a bag in a mug, boil the kettler but flick it off just before...

Yeah if I skip it Im not as hungry & can go till lunch but I don't skip it anymore where possible as its not great is it and its supposed to be the most important meal of the day! Must be some actual reason for it

oooo just realised, if I play this right this week, I "may" beable to get my first mini goal this week & get in to the 16s.....if not this week, then deffo next week!! OOOO only just realised, Im so excited now ha ha

Well ladies I just wanted to update you all on this weeks weigh in since you were all so kind to respond to my OP. It looks like you were all correct & Im glad I stayed ON the wagon this week as I lost an Impressive 6.5lb. I mean OK technically its really 3lb if you take of the 3.5lb * week...

OK so I bought the Twinings Green Tea with Pinapple & Grapefruit (the only flavoured green tea they had in Asda, last packet) and im sat here with a cup and......again it just tastes like hot water with an ever so slight after taste. I put the hot water in before the kettle fully brewed & I...

Poached Eggs yyummyy...sometimes with wholemeal toast, sometimes in a wholemeal pitta, if I have time I will do bacon & beans (as a hex b) and have it that way, I just really like poached eggs at the min!

Well lets draw a very big under last week :cry:and try again this week with a red week, I May do ONE green day but only if I get bored of red, if im ok on red all week im sticking to it!!

The amount of people who cant do green or EE...wow,I cant rem who is was (it was either Consultant or somethin I read on here) who said unles you have an actuall tollerance to carbs it shouldnt make a difference, well I dont have an intollerance so I figured I was kinda making it up as an...

ooo wow thats interesting! I really think they should make it a kind of Law to have all sizing universal like a 14 is xx inches a 16 is xx inches etc so then you know a 14 is a 14 where ever you buy it from. Dont know how right it is bbut my mum said when she was younger (she has always...

Do you think I should get a big Vat of Cider on my back then haha :D

WOW 7lb!! Well I hope I loost about 6lb this week then haha, fingers crossed. Glad there are others that don't get on with carbs either then, it makes it seem more like its not just me making excuses for it if you know what I mean! Well it certainly does feel like Im not alone. I think Ill do...

that looks SSOO Yummy do you have the recipie & Synnage please?

Thanks...I really hope so, Im counting on it ;)

There are a few posts earlier on in the thread people saying they felt they had bigger losses green tea drinking weeks (about 5 cups a day iirc) so Im willing to give it a go ha ha

You have done so well so far Tomsk keep it up ;)

thank you all so much for all your wonderfull replies. I woke up feeling deflated and crappy (and still with a very sore back) but reading this thread has given me a bit of confidence back in thinking it must be because it is * week. Thanks to those few who also said they can't do green either...

Just a quick post for now as on my phone so can't type to much & appologies for any spelling errors! So I went to class and I PUT ON 3.5lb:eek: I am devistated in ONE WEEK when I was so good all week apart from the Friday night out blip but I didn't think it would have a +3.5 effect, I...

gotta admit I put alot of weight on through drinking when younger as well. I was out 4-5 nights a week mostly on Cider/alcopops & vodka/full fat mixers...its not the food that kills me (well not all of it lol) its mainly the booze!!

I finally got round to watching the last one last night. I can't believe Tara didnt win or at least Mike...I didnt want helen to win she is soooo annoying...plus she looked kinda like she had overdone it or something, I dunno she just didn't look "good" if you know what I mean. I love Tara she...

oop its on this Friday (26th) 10pm on FX or Repeated on the Sunday @ the Same time ;)

thank god for that as I didn't "planner" it!! Does anyone know if the mentalist is repeated, I missed it, well my planner messed up.....AGAIN ETA : Mentalist repeated on Thursday thank god, I love Patrick Jane ha ha

Hubba Hubba :character00100::character00250::bananalove::heartpump: I love it, Im a complete Gleek! Were nearly done for this "season" though :mad: On IMDB it lists 24 Eps as full season 1 & that they cut it short at 14 and what they are calling "season 2" is actually just the 2nd half of...

yea I LLUURRVVEEE it. I wish Jillian & Bob were my trainers :D The Aus one (S4 i think) started on Sky real lives last night 9pm but im swerving it as all my other fave TV shows are back and DH is getting a big cross with all my stuff clogging up the box :rolleyes::D I download the current S9...

Thats the same as my butchers stuff & I also drain although there isnt much to drain, but I also don't syn it :o

what about butcher mince?? He told me his mince is lean and it is leaner then any supermarket stuff I get as the water/fat never comes out of it, but should I be sinning it?? He has told me if I give him a few days notice he will do me Turkey mince....

ill give the apple & pear one a go then & thanks for the tip, that sounds really refreshing for summer.....wonder what it would tasked like with a vodka in it :D

thank you hun, I shall get some of the normal stuff & some fruity ones but ill brew it longer as well. ;)

My downfall has always been not doing food diaries and so loosing track of what ive eaten and "thinking" ive done better than I actually have. It also could be that your not eating your superfree foods, Im having issues with EE as well and I think its down to not eating the superfree foods so...

some great ideas there thank you, my brain is clearly limited in its capacity to think outside the box :D

thanks ill try the fruity ones. I take it even the fruity ones still have the same benifits as the normal plain one? How long do you guys brew it for before you remove the bag?

Its probably stayed about the same really, if I take in to account the £10 a week takeouts we now dont have, although in general I over spend every week (this is because im a bugger for buying all the offer stuff even if we dont need another 12 rolls of loo roll ha ha) so Im going to be getting...

I forgot about that spagetti..thanks. I do try & make MORE @ meal times, but I never seem to make enough for an extra full portion, I must start doing this properly! thanks ;) oooo thanks, again, I never think of cooking things like chicken/salmon etc in the micro, I see it of kind of an...

I have a number of reasons as well.... When I was pregnant the different M.Ws & Docs all said info and usually threw in the words "well because of your weight...blah blah" at the time I didnt think it was so bad. I had to have the glucose test (grosse) due to it & if I get pregnant again I...

OK so if you only had a microwave to cook something in, but you could get anything from the supermarket what would you have for a dinner/tea (must be warm & filling) I get bored working my shifts with food and it throws me off plan on nights (days are "ok" as canteen is open & does some SW...

our class is doing the "lets beat it together" campaing starting tonight & I think its free to join (but not sure if thats just if a friends brought you along) also not sure if that national or just local? Sorry not much help there! Our class is now £4.95 :o

I know Mrs Williams you are right, thanks, i guess I need to stop thinking negatives and "yeah as if im gonna ever be THAT slim" im doing mini goals now, like to get in to the 16 stones, then will be the 15s etc and am going to face it that way instead! Thanks for the positive words ;)

So do you think its because I got the Tetley Green tea instead of a better make that it tasted....well tastless, or did I make it wrong??

Yeah unfortunatly I had the ones with Golden Syrup in :mad: Ive put them in my locker at work now in case of emergency but they wont be a regular thing, only if I forget to bring something with me. ;)

Does anyone know the Mango Sorbet Recipe please (and Syn Value) Someone brought it to taster night at my old class & it was devine, but I can't find the recipe anywhere. Thanks

Sounds the same to me as well!! Bugger. I didn't know about the superfree snacks either, this is probably why im havng poor or no losses, im seeing how ive done this week, then I may switch to red/green & see how that goes...thanks (sorry for the thread hijack OP)

Ooo is that right, becuase thats what my consultant told me (I am warey of what he says as he has changed his mind a few times). He didnt originally say you had to do EE for the full week so I was switching my days, then he said you can have the warbitons best of both bread as HEX B but I can't...

You need a Hex A (so milk or cheese) & your supposed to "try" and fill 1/3 of your plate with super Free foods but once you join online you will beable to read better what they are, appart from that all looks A-OK to me. Well Done

I hadn't thought about this either untill I read this thread so now Im going to do the following.....well at least one of them A shopping spree (im going to do the brill idea of putting £1 away for every £1 loss so its substitutes it a bit!) A tattoo (ive been wanting a new one for ages...

Good for her for speaking up, I love the "if I want a hamburger Im going to have a hamburger" bit ha ha. Like you say, it really is no wonder all these women (especially young influential teens) have body issues!

to test this last week I weighed in, did a 30 min "work out" and weighed in again & I lost 7lb.....lol I somehow don't think they are entirley acurate, sorry x

I made the ones with Fromage Frais, @ 1.5 syns per pancake...they were scrummy, the tasted the same as normal ones just a bit softer. My little boy has never had them before as he was to young for them last year so his first pancake experience was the SW ones (although he has syrup on his) and...

Thank you, hope so!! Had a good day today and been swimming as well so Im feeling good!! Ive switched the day to EE as well, Im going to give EE one more week and see what happens this week. I made the SW pancakes tonight and they were goregous, my little lad hasnt had them before (pancakes...

I don't really have any advice (the others have already offered some great advice) as Im just the same, its like a mental block, like I just dont expect it to ever happenen, I cant envisage myself slim so its like im unconciously trying to do everything I can to stop it. Ive decided personally...

hi all, thank you for the welcome :bliss: I guess I am putting to much pressure on myself to succeed so when I fail (which is always gonna happen in life) I feel so crap I just give up :mad: I just feel like I let myself down when I fail ggaahh then I let myself down even more cause I give up...

Hello all :wave_cry: Well Ive been in and out of SW this past 2 years, I had 7.5 ish stone to loose by Sept 2009 and managed 1.5 ( :mad: )by August, I went away to get married (abroad) then a 2 week honeymoon & then by half way through Nov 2009 I had put nearly ALL of it back on :cry: I only...
