Hi everyone, I am wanting to celebrate my weight loss so far (17lbs in 4 weeks) with a curry tomorrow with my OH. I usually have korma - but I after reading this thread I going to try the chicken dhansak with boiled rice :)

Hi Everyone, I have felt really ill the last few days and have eaten very little. I am worried that my body will go into starvation mode and it will affect my weight loss long term. Has anyone else been ill whilst on the plan? If so, how did affect your weight loss? Thanks Emma

I know it isn't the greatest tasting thing in the world but its packed full of antioxidants, good at cleansing the body from toxins and is a great appetite suppressant. I think its worth the strange taste in the long run.

Chicken Chow Mein is supposed to be low in syns. I think its 7 syns for 380g on green :)

I am guilty too of weighing myself inbetween WIs.. I can't help it! I find it is a double edged sword.. If I have already lost some weight I feel great.. If I haven't I feel unimpressed with myself. If you are weighing yourself you have got to bear in mind your weight will naturally go up and...

wow you look fantastic!! well done CP!

Wow! He does most of the cooking.. Lucky Lady! Just stick with the idea of paying him more attention - blokes can sulk when they aren't getting enough attention - maybe that was the reason for his outburst!

Why don't you get him to go to class with you to be more involved? Or give him the book and get him to cook for you? So its not just you making the effort and him reaping the rewards! I agree maybe give minimins a miss for the night and do something nice together - Orange wednesdays are always...

Well done! I agree any loss, is a good loss! Keep up the good work :)

Anyone know about cocktails? There is a fab bar I go to on nights out - every cocktail £2! I love my berry mojitos!

Wow! first of all well done on your weight loss! Fantastic! This woman is obviously very jealous and has such low self esteem that she wants to bring other people down to her level. I understand some people are competitive - but to be so openly glad about your smaller weight loss is down right...

My bum says you can get "egg bound" lol i.e. struggle going to the toilet! I try not to go overboard just in case!

I'd just write the day off - enjoy that as a treat for your fab weight loss! Get back on the ball tomorrow.

*COUNT the syns! sorry!

Haha yep your in denial - but not to worry! A little treat now and then won't hurt as long as you don't count the sins.. I always think the syns don't count if I am eating off someone else plate! Pinched a couple of my boyfriend's fries the other day.. but they "didn't count" either lol

I must admit I do miss using bread so sandwiches - they are such a quick lunch option when you are in a rush!

What a fantastic reply lonestitcher - I don't think I can add much to it! Don't give up - you know that losses are possible - as you have already lost weight! Stick to what you are doing and see what happens at your next weigh in! Good luck!

*To feel more confident and be able to wear the things I like in shops not only the things that fit me and don't look like a tent! I am going to really treat myself when I hit target! *To feel healthy and alert - not tired and achey like I can sometimes feel *To look a million dollars at my...

Hi Guys, I was wondering how many people end up giving up bread doing slimming world? I have stopped eating bread over the last couple of weeks and felt much better for it. I think this might have contributed to my weightloss of 11lbs in 2 weeks. Any one else got a view on this? Emma :)

Wow! I'm so glad I came across this thread! I think I will have to play a bit more on my weightloss to my boyf/mum lol Especially as they are allowed to eat lots of tasty rubbish. We went to Drayton manor yesterday - my boyfriend had a large burger and chips meal.. a hot donut.. a massive bag of...

Have you thought about pasta salads for lunch? really filling and really quick if you buy the quick cook 5 min pasta. The bachelors pasta n sauces are good too! Some of them are really tasty! I also have cheese omlettes using my cheese as one of my healthy extras. Quorn sausages are great too -...

Hi Sarah, My biggest advice to you would be to join a sports club at your University atheletic union. Its really easy to lounge around all day chilling out with your friends and doing very little exercise apart from dancing at the union and walking around the shops! Don't worry if you don't...

Just had their 5 bean chilli! It was lovely! Really filling and very tasty - best of all I don't feel guilty at all :)

Haha I really wouldn't worry about your little indiscretion! You have got a week till WI and you know where you have gone wrong. Some of the ladies at my old group used to go to the chippy straight after WI lol! Biriyani recipe sounds awesome btw!

I really like snacking on cherry tomatoes! I also like slicing apple thinly and making my own "apple crisps" lol!

Hi Everyone, Not sure if there is a thread on this already.. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good exercise DVDs. I am currently doing the Charlie Brooks DVD - its really good for uncoordinate i.e. me lol. I do get quite bored of the DVDs quite quickly though - so I wanted one or two...

Good luck Donna :)

Sounds great! I am a really sucker for indian takeaways.. Hopefully this will replace my friday night takeaway binge!

I agree that slimming world seems to give you so much freedom! My friends have been asking me for diet updates during my first week - they can't believe I able to still have my old favourites like chicken curry and creamy pasta sauces and still lose weight! I love the fact I don't have to weight...

Stunning Dress! Quite different too! I'm sure you will look fab on your big day! :)

Hi Everyone! Hey guys, Just started my weight loss journey a week ago with slimming world! I have tried to lose several times before with little success - I find it hard to keep motivated! I have been with my boyfriend for three years - he is fantastic but I think being so comfortable and...
