the plank exercise is really good i didnt think of that,, it sounds like nothing but if you do it properly for about 30seconds you can really feel the effect its having!

dont give up on it, have you posted your food diaries for people to see where you may have gone wrong, also couldnt help but notice your BMI says 21 ? if thats right then you have nothing to worry about and you dont need to loose anything :)

i definatley agree that slimming world is the better option. i understand weekly meetings could be expensive but the actual meetings give you the motivation and ideas and tips that really help. Plus you could meet a lot of new people that give you the support. On the other hand many people do it...

i was going to say invest in a wii fit board but it is expensive and if you dont have a wii or anything it would be a bit pricy but i do think they are good.. try silly little things like streches and stomach and leg exercises while your sat watching the telly.. i no its an old one but if you...

well done! it just takes some motivation try to vary your meals as much as you can and i hope youve stopped checking the scales .. keep it up :D

Thankyou!! i guess im not the only one who eats naughty things after the weigh in. i see stuff as not counting if i eat it after plus you have a whole week to work it off :D x

i dont really like them but iv bought some quorn chicken style pieces ( as they were on offer! ) make them in a stir fry and use lots of soy sauce so it soaks them up and gives them a bit of taste :) also you could make them in a curry so that would also give them quite a strong taste :) x

hi, i do mostly green days so i dont know much about EE i couldnt understand how it worked but i know muller light fat free yoghurts are free and you can swop Red, Green or EE days depending how you feel that day.. hope that helps :)

i find searching online for offers helps and buying in bulk or from the market but i definately agree health food is far more expensive than all the crappy ready meals and stuff!

i agree! i want it done too

i agree bobbedazzler i new i had to loose the weight and i choose SW and was amazed at the freedom and being able to eat alot as long as its free :) and well done fern :) x

i feel exactly the same and im not even at 6/7 weeks yet! just keep trying to think how well you have done and how good you feel :)

definatly go to the class. no-one should be negative about it and im sure there will be people who want to help and offer you tips. have you done a food diary this might help. If you have put on then this may give you the motivation to do the plan next week :) good luck

Does anyone know how many syns in a malteaser bunny i had one before i started Slimming world and now i crave them but i dont dare eat one as i dont know how many syns they are can anyone help!?

awww white tulip.. i usually get options but as the shop didnt have options i bought some skinny cow and havent tried them yet but if theyrnt as good i might just take them back! x

i dont know about syn free ice cream but that would be good. iv found if i am craving some ice cream the skinny cow range is quite good at around 5syns each. :)

hey jessthecat.. dont be disheartened its only your second week and you did really well in your first week, you shouldnt ever be feeling hungry because you can fill up on free foods but try and vary what you eat as well. i find food diaries really work for me but you will find something that...

hiya welcome. i started slimming world about a month ago and thought it was really complicated but i think once you get going it becomes routine and just part of your life and i really enjoy it now!! Good luck xx

mmmmm strawberry tarts... yes i think that is probably a days syns... might have to buy one now!! :)

did you mean the sugar free sachets because i had one of the pots and they are quite big i found it filling and it was advertised in the SW magazine does any one know the syn value for the pot?

yeh definately make sure you use them. i have roughly 10 a day but i dont always have them all and try to save my syns for the weekend. im sure iv been told its really bad not to have any syns at all in a day so make sure you have a few :)

Hi kizzib for a start well done on not putting ON any weight! dont get too stressed about this and you will do fine keep going and the weight will come off, just thought if you dont have a lot of weight to loose it usually doesnt come of as quick or as easy but it will if you keep at it and keep...

i definately agree that you should use your syns or your body will just store anything it can as fat... or so iv been told. but try not to eat too late at night :)

Dont worry keep at it and just think at least you didnt put on lots!!

iv only had one EE day and i felt a bit like i could eat anything without restrictions and i couldnt understand how it worked so well for some people. i thought that surely you would loose more doing green or red when compared to extra easy but maybe im wrong :S .. no dont loose faith jus keep...

muller light yoghurts are brill as they are free but they can be expensive, i found they were on offer 4 for £2 at asda and i think 3 for a £1 in tesco but you might want to check the website :)

thanks sarah and yes i do agree i have saved by not buying ready meals where i no its just paying for the convenience! i will also look out for the passata as i love tomatoes! :)

i agree that i will save in the long term but i think the weight loss is definately worth it.. also i do try to stick to green days as i love pasta and yes i feel hot choc and cereal bars are a luxury but i work a lot and having ten minute breaks the cereal bars are quick and easy with a nice...

Thankyou ! great thread i was worrying about the mugshots and have been counting them as syns. Iv found that mugshots by them selves arent really filling but on a green day making a tomato and herb mugshot and adding extra pasta or mushrooms, onions, peppers etc really helps! :)

Hi everyone, this might be just me but since starting slimming world i tend to find that shopping is costing me a lot more! i am determined to stick with this and willing to put the extra money in but certain healthier options area a bit expensive. examples like options hot chocolate expensive...

i definately agree..! although i love my food i hate that i put on weight so easily and my friends can eat what ever and stay really skinny!! since starting SW i have given in to my weaknesses but felt very guilty after! i try to remember how disapointed i feel when i get craving for naughty...
