Im not vegan but i am veggie & try to eat alot of vegan foods. You can have 1l of unsweetened almond milk or 500mls of sweetened. Not found a cheese thats a healthy extra a But ask your consultant. You could have porridge in the morns with almond milk? I usually eat fruit on the go, or sugar...

Im vegetarian and have been doing sw for 5 months. I use quorn alot!! Love the quornchicken for salads & stir frys. Then i use the mince for shepards pie, spag bol & chilli. I eat alot of beans aswell for bean stews or butter beans in tomato sauce are nice with pasta!! The list could go on...

Chop some onions and garlic and fry them, add mushrooms and diced pepper, maybe some sweetcorn (anything really) then add a tin of tomatos and curry powder (lots)

I use both tbh, frozen veg us easier fir when i get home from work, but if i have more time id use fresh. Luckily my dad has an allotment so he is always bring me fresh veg :)

I dont eat much meat due to being and extremely fussy eater, and i find that quorn mince, which is 2pp for 100g is really filling, especially if you put loads of veg like courgettes, carrots, peppers ect with it. Also, this may be controversial, but i did slimming world when i was 17, and they...

Just thought i would let everyone know that cheese curls from aldi, which are basically cheap quavers are only 3 syns which i personally think is AMAZING, i think they taste better than quavers and when i wasnt dieting used to eat them all the time. Also the crispy fries crisps are 3.5 syns :) Alis

I bought a quorn cottage pie ready meal from the coop today and it said the pack only had 200 calories.. this seems to good to be true?!

Is wii fit worth buying then? I've always wanted to buy one but thought it would be a waste of money as I'd never do it!

What other exercise do you do? Xx

Not sure actually I might look into that it sounds like fun!

Well that's good then :) I know its not meant to be easy! But I like swimming so im more likely to stick at it rather than running or something where I would give up straight away!

I've started to go swimming as I find it the easiest exercise to do! :) but will it tone my stomach? Or just my arms and legs

Im a 34F and i was sooo worried about loosing them because there the only think ive got going for me! luckily when i was at my lowest weight (10st) they were still 34F :) ive put some weight back on now and there still 34F so hopefully if i get down to my target of 9st7lbs they will still be the...
