Mmmm - this all sounds great - thank you for your suggestions! Now I've just got to find a massive bag to put all my goodies in when we go...!

Hi - another 'where did my twenties go?' person here! Will be 33 in the summer and when I look back, all i did in my twenties (apart from Uni etc) was worry about my weight and yo-yo from one diet to another! I'm hoping that my thirties will be my new twenties but only I can change that - I...

Hello everyone, We're going on a picnic on Saturday (although the weather's not looking great - typical!) and I just wanted some ideas of 'portable' food you might take on a picnic with you. Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks for your help...:)

No, not an omen - it just shows you are human lol! If we were all perfect, none of us would be on SW because we'd all be the size that we wanted to be. I am starting to realise that this is a journey and not just a diet - you're bound to have ups and downs but the main thing is that you dust...

Wow Mrs V - that is brilliant! I know you didn't post to brag about your losses, but you should be mighty proud of how far you've come. You are an inspiration to many of us but especially me, in my first month on SW - I now understand that I can do this if I stick to it! Thank you and well...

Hi Cupcake - welcome! :D I am another 'go-it-aloner' because I can't afford class at the moment. This board is a brilliant resource for anything you're not sure about - check the thread about Extra Easy further up the main home page and you will probably find all the answers to your EE...

I second the protein recommendation. I have always had problems with hunger when I haven't eaten any protein, particularly at breakfast. When I just have cereal and fruit I am starving by about 9.30am but when I have some scrambled egg and smoked salmon, or maybe some ham and eggs, this sees...

I am going to have home-made salmon fish cakes (or tuna - can't remember what's in the cupboard lol) and either serve them with chilli sweetcorn relish (home made - 1 1/2 syns for tbsp of chilli sauce mixed in with sweetcorn and red pepper) or a nice crispy salad. Dieting eh...:D

It's a bit more creamy than just a frozen yogurt - the trick is to stir it up after about 30 minutes and then decide if it needs a bit longer in the freezer. My biggest problem is not eating it en-route to the freezer!!! :D

So much deliciousness - so little syns I found a brill recipe in the desserts section of this board for ice cream - at 3.5 syns - yes, you heard me right!! I have been making it as follows: 1/2 tub of Total 0% Greek Yogurt (free) 1/2 tub of Quark (free) 1 sachet of Options (most flavours...

Aw, thank you everyone :o I agree, any loss is a good loss (didn't mean to sound ungrateful!) I can't believe that a week ago I was staring at my highest ever weight on the scales and my eating was spiralling out of control. I just need to focus now and not get complacent - onwards and...

Hey everyone, I started at the beginning of the week and, despite having two family celebration meals (you know the ones where you have the best of intentions but quickly find yourself using flexible syns :() I still managed to lose 2 pounds! Not a great loss for my first week but hope to...

Thank you Jaylou - sorry, should have said that I'm not going to class (can't afford it at the mo) so am relying on you guys and this site to help me!

Hi, I am doing Extra Easy but still trying to get my head around my A and B choice. Could anybody be so kind as to tell me how many Kallo Rice Cakes (wholewheat variety) would constitue a B? I am hoping they are not synned as they formed the basis of my lunch today! Thanks - and sorry if...

Lol - I have a husband like that - soooo annoying when all I have to do is look at a chocolate eclair and I'm two stone heavier! I think the chocolate one with the cherry under-layer is 2 syns, the lemon cheesecake is 1 syn but the other ones are free free free!

Hello - and welcome! This board is lovely and friendly. Popular opinion seems to be that syns are there to be used and to be honest, it's nice to know that you have room for a little extra treat during the day! If you eat them all then great - you are allowed to. If you don't eat them all...

Hi Jezebel, I am quite new to this (my first week!) but I have always found on other diets that protein fills me up far more than fruit or veggies. So...for breakfast why don't you try having some scrambled egg and bacon (if time) or ham if no time to cook bacon? Someone suggested crab...

Brilliant! Well done you :D Fingers crossed that your luck rubs off on me for Saturday!

Booo! I love corned beef! Really good in quiches. Typical! Oh well, there are a million and one other things I can put in a quiche instead!

Hello to a newbie from another newbie! Hope you got on okay in class. No matter what you weighed this time, it will be the last time you ever see that number as it will be onwards and downwards from here! Best of luck :D

Good luck tonight!! I am sure you will be fine. I bet you have a really good loss because you've 'shocked' your body into something new! I know exactly where you're coming from - I am desperately trying to lose weight for our summer holiday (in September) but put on over a stone over Xmas and...

Wow - you can eat so much on SW - don't think I'll be bothering with WW again for a long time...! This is what I've got so far - what do you think? Chicken and beef bovril Fresh & frozen veggies Eggs Fruit Laughing cow extra light cheese Salaldy bits i.e cherry tomatos Passata Herbs and...

Hello everyone! I am a newbie to this board, although I have done SW before (a few years ago) and have been stuck out in the wilderness (WW!!!) for a while now. I didn't find I was getting enough support from my WW group and can't afford to join SW at the moment, so I am trying to go it alone...
