Wow you are doing well Lynne!

I had the maple syrup pancakes, they were ok but not great. I think the ex ante shakes taste better than both slim and save and Cambridge.

Hi all! I am on day 11, not hungry at all. I don't like the savory meals so having 2 shakes and one bar a day. Starting to crave savory food a bit. Hope you are all ok. I think I wen into keeps is day five too.

astral and aloize, I'm hoping today was better for you.

I had it a few days ago and it was ok. I can't remember but I just followed the packet instructions. Sorry not very helpful.

Thanks! Target is now to lose 12lbs in next four weeks. Should be doable. I have a black tie dinner on 30th Jan and have three coast dresses in a smaller size to choose from......

How was your first day soul_sista?

An Indian takeaway would really tempt me! When my husband and kids are eating something tempting I have a nice soak in the bath.

Welcome Cheezey! You have to be determined and stubborn to do any total meal replacement If you are, then you can do this. I tried before, would always pick and give up after a few days. This time I am determined. Lost 5.5lbs in first week. I have 3 stone to lose. How has it been so far?

Week 1: 5.5lbs off (from 11st 11 lbs to 11st 5.5lbs. Total solution 100%)

Well done! Week one weigh in results from me: from 11st 11 lbs to 11st 5.5 lbs, so a loss of 5.5 lbs. Very happy.

All good here on day 7. Been tempted by jam doughnuts, ice cream and sweets at pants and McDs after. But stayed on track. Will do first week weigh in tomorrow morning.

Good luck Cheezey

Thanks Lynneonexante. How is your first day?

They say average one stone per month. I have three stone to target so 3 months. Once I get to target I am going to do either slimming world or high protein training diet to tone up.

Hello ladies! I am on day 7 and feeling great. No hunger, lots of energy. In my mind I did not believe the 'ketosis=no hunger' as seemed too good to be true, but it really is true! Keep going !

Beccastar maybe you are not in ketosis yet. I read ketosis can start anytime for day 2 to day 5. Hopefully the hunger will stop soon and you will find it easier.

Yes good luck! I've had maple syrup pancakes , having the ex ante pizza later.

I knew if I didn't stick t it I would not get back on track. I can be very stubborn too, so friends saying just one glass made me more determined.

Good luck Lynne. An interesting year ahead!

I'm with you. Am aiming for a 17lb loss by end Jan, but I started 27th dec.

who else managed to stay 100% total solution yesterday? I went to a house party, lots lovely party food and alcohol. It was day 5 & I stuck to plan having just coffee and water. I am proud of myself. Feeling so determined. Who is with me?

Hi ladies. Who managed 100% on NYE? I am determined this time. Despite being at a party it's loads nice party food and alcohol I stuck to coffee and sparkling water. Glad I did, today is day 6 - scales already show a 6lb loss.

Hi Ladies. I started total solution on 27th December, so today is day 4. Start weight 11st 11lbs, 5 ft4" and small boned. I carry my excess weight on my face neck and tummy. Have tried Cambridge before but never managed to stick to it from day 1. I go back to work 04th Jan and wanted to be used...

How is it a thai green curry with no green curry paste??

thanks again.

thanks jaylou. not had a EE day yet as i know i wont stick to 1/3 SF rule.

Just pondering, why is Brown Rice not a HE B choice? Is it not high fibre enough? Could really do with some rice with dinner but too many syns.

sorry , another qu about tamarind chilli chicken. can i freeze leftovers?

Thanks circs, thats what i did. I must say did not look very appetising. Its cooking away now. My H could not find the paste in a large Tesco Extra store. Hope its still nice.

thanks jo1

Oh I'd like to join! Do you count your day as 100% if you have had under 15 syns & stuck to rest of the plan? If I have done 1 day 100%.

Tamarind Chilli Chicken I have a question about the Tamarind Chilli Chicken. I have bought the tamarind from tesco, its says it is Tamarind fruit pulp. The packet says to dissolve it in boiling water, strain the pulp & seeds using a sieve then use the liquor in cooking. So I need to do all...

yesterday i had lots of sweets & little chocs, have calculated at 22 syns, so only having 5 syns today.

Yes having 100g cooked weight as a HE, then some extra as syns. I will prob have 84g cooked extra so that will be 4.5 syns? (book says 28g boiled of dried plain pasta 1.5) Not used any syns yet today, have a massive bowl of melon & grapes for snacking on.

my fav slow cooker recipe is beef & root vegetable hotpot, from my recipe book '200 slow cooker recipes' published by hamlyn. I amend it for Sw by leaving skin on spuds, browning meat & onions in fry light. Delicicious & syn free if using potato as HE.

thanks, will syn it as i am doing red days. I dont think i could manage 1/3 of a plate of superfree foods each meal.

sorry ignore me. I coudlnt manage red days without either pasta or pots!!

Root vegetable beef hotpot (potatoes on top skin on, count as HE) Chili con carne: recipe from SW site Spaghetti with meatballs

I am going to try this on Wednesday. Do you serve with rice & count the rice as syns?

Time of the month always led to a sts for me last time. But then the following week was at least a lb off.

Have your syns, otherwise you will feel deprived & not stick to it. I am on maternity leave but looking after kids is hard work!!

You should not be feeling hungry. Eat some free or superfree food whenever you are hungry. I snack on fruit & have a mullerlight yoghurt once a day. My main meal is always very filling. Stick with it, next week will be a loss I bet.

I am a newbie, joined on wednesday. I did SW in 2004 and liked red days, so will be mainly sticking with that. Tonight we are having Spaghetti with chilli meatballs. Syn free on red days. I can post recipe if anyone interested. What are you having??
