I have a Tesco near by and whenever I feel like I want some chocolate and its within my syns I walk there and buy one single bar. Last night I had a Daim bar (7.5 syns) and it felt sooo naughty! As soon as I finished it I was dying for another one as that's what I used to do before and it's hard...

Bran flakes & milk followed by a mullerlight and tea :)

6lbs for 2 stone lost 7lbs until I'm halfway to my target :D

I like EE more than the others because its so easy...they don't call it extra easy for nothing, haha. But really, I love not having to think about whether I can mix carbs with meat, and having sausages and mashed potato! The only drawback is that you only get one set of healthy extras, which I...

Bacon, scrambled eggs, 2x wholemeal toast and extra light flora (1 syn, but not very nice sadly). It's more breakfast than lunch for me (oops), so lets call it brunch! :D

Sausage (Tesco healthy living Cumberland ones) baked bean and bacon casserole with mashed potato. Need some comfort food and this'll hit the spot!

Maybe you need to up your syns? You could try having 10 a day and see how you get on. You always read on here that people don't lose when they're not making the most of their syns. Obviously don't force yourself if you really don't want to eat any more, but if you're exercising a lot too it's...

I went to Nandos with friends and managed to stay under my 15 syns for the day, I'm so pleased that I could celebrate with friends and still stay on track. I had a big plain salad, spicy rice, butterfly chicken, halloumi, and frozen yoghurt. I love slimming world!

Nimble x2, chicken breast, 25g Gouda and lambs lettuce. Followed by mullerlight, nectarine, apple AND a banana spread across the afternoon :)

Bran flakes & milk with a nectarine and a cup of tea :)

Grilled pork with mashed potatoes and a homemade, totally improvised 'what do we have in the kitchen that I can throw in' sauce - whole grain mustard, chicken bovril, splash of milk, sage, marjoram, cornflower heated and whisked together...was delicious!

A ham omelette and beans...they don't really go but it's what I fancy! Will have a mullerlight, plum, apple and nectarine afterwards - I'm staaaarving and want to really stuff myself so I'm not hungry at work!

2 slices of toast, 2 eggs and loads of beans - so simple and so filling!

Weetabix and milk, a mullerlight and a plum

I love EE, it doesn't even feel like a diet. Sometimes I catch myself and think 'wait...is this ok, on a diet?!' But it is and I feel so content because its just so normal and I still lose weight on it! Good luck :) x

Beans n cheese on jacket potato with a big salad. Lovely and simple :)

Nimble bread x2 and lean roast beef and watercress with a tiny scraping of extra light flora. An apple, Boots shapers cream soda and a white chocolate and raspberry crispy thing from Boots that's 5 syns

That sounds amazing!

Weetabix, semi skimmed milk, cherry mullerlight, an apple, a cup of tea with a bit of milk and sweeteneer and a massive glass of water! I like to feel like I'm eating loads at breakfast

Honk! 3rd day in a row for me, not much but I'm proud of myself, it feels good ^_^

I started thinking about it today when I saw Yule log in the book! 28g for 6 syns I believe (unless my memory has failed me). My plans *now* are to stick to my syns, measure things out, etc, but 28g is probably a crumb of Yule log and ill probably cave in! The OH and I are going to his family...

Tomato and herb mugshot, cherry mullerlight, a plum, a banana and raspberry tea!

Honk! 14.5 syns, with a Chinese takeaway! Chicken in oyster sauce and boiled rice, was delicious and I was so pleased to still be on track!

I have a section in my Filofax where I write down everything. I did try using MyFitnessPal on my phone for a long time but just got sidetracked because it counts calories!

Lost 2lb this week, bringing me to 201lb! I was so hoping I'd be 200lb, haha. I am pleased with 2lb though. Next week I shall hopefully be under 200 for the first time in a very long time!

I've spent a few hours reassessing how I feel about SW, my weight and my health and i know I'm desperate to lose this weight. But I get really tired and Im not a big fan of cooking, although I'm not an awful cook. So, SW magazine in hand I've planned out our meals for more or less a month (the...

I've had an awful couple of days too - McDonalds, Coke, a Chinese... Ugh! My WI is tomorrow and I'm dreading it, but at least I know why I'm going to have a gain/STS and I can get back to being good this week. It's only a big deal if you let it hinder you, it's ok if you just get back to it and...

Okay so I'll be heading for a gain this week I think :/ On Saturday I actually had; 2 bowls of Weetabix and McDonalds - a sweet chilli crispy chicken wrap, some fries stolen from OH, a galaxy crumble mcflurry and normal coke. Eeep! It was the only place open that we could go out to eat at...

I am on a tight budget, being a student, and I buy frozen veg, frozen meat (chicken and pork) and I buy value rice/pasta/tea bags/cereal/bread. The only thing I really 'splash out' on is mullerlights because they're so handy to have in and I've yet to find a cheaper yoghurt as nice (and more...

Ugh...I found a mouse in our kitchen :( I freaked out, had a major panic attack and locked myself in the bedroom. And I'm home alone! So I've just been sitting in here crying! OH is on his way home. I cant face going into the rest of the flat - I am SO scared :/ and I'll be eating out tonight, I...

Walked the OH to the station this morning at 6am, and walked back in the pouring rain so I'm tired and sniffly, not a good combination! EE B: 2 Weetabix and ss milk (hex a and b) I might have to have another bowl of Weetabix, I am SO hungry despite already having food. Why?! Must be because...

Yesterday's frustrations have passed, and I'm feeling a lot better today. Still in a lot of pain but I'm dealing with it a bit better! B: 2 Weetabix and ss milk (hex a and b) L: Pasta, ham, with a passata sauce D: Quorn lasagne made with quark Syns: Curly wurly (6)

Ugh, I am not having a good day today. I'm coding websites and I keep running into stupid errors that I'm struggling to fix. Aaargh! And I'm in so much pain, i just want to snuggle up and go back to sleep. Anyway, today: B: 2 Weetabix and SS milk (hex a and b) L: 2 eggs, Linda McCartney...

It is period week this week, and I am in so much pain :( Sigh... Just been rejected from a scholarship I applied to as well, my fault really as I study journalism and it's a scholarship for a major bank. I had to do a maths test and a financial test and failed both because my maths is just...

Hello! Lost 1lb this week, which I am very pleased about considering I was very naughty and had those delightful cookies. This week WILL be a 100% week, my danger day is Saturday and the OH is away working then so I doubt I'll want to get any treats in for myself. And losing weight is such a...

The wind is so so awful here, it really scares me. A few roads have been closed and I've watched people walk past the window who are barely walking, they're just being pushed along :D Extra easy :) B: Vanilla muller, two apples, a handful of grapes and strawberries, and an orange. Fruit feast...

So yesterday I may have accidentally had 5 cookies, oops! I had the worst headache I think I've ever had (always happens when it's stormy out) and I just fancied something sugary. It came to 60 syns! So I'll be doing weekly syns now until next Saturday... How awful, the cookies were delicious...

Afternoon! Walked 4 miles this morning on a round trip to pay our rent (we have an old fashioned estate agents that doesn't take direct debit, just cheque or cash!), did some window shopping to look at all the pretty dresses I'll hopefully be able to wear soon while we were walking through town...

Oh no, good job I don't have any in then haha. I shall keep in mind to get the Tesco value version instead, thank you, o mash pizza queen! :p

Hello! Love your food diary, especially the pics - when I first saw the bacon & egg on toast pic I thought it was a cake...I think I need my eyes testing :D You're doing fabulously, keep it up! :D

That looks delicious, I will definitely be making it soon :D Smash is one of those things I always think I have stashed away in the cupboard but there's none there. Just when I want some! Yesterday we went and stocked up on fruit - grapes, apples, oranges, strawberries, raspberries...

Thank you, I didn't think there was anything different but was just pondering :) just got my book out and we're going to go and buy some ss/sf food. I'll try switching things up, we usually do green and EE days so maybe he's more of a red kinda guy :) Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using...

Teehee, I do have a thing for pizza! My boyfriend used to make his own pizzas using homemade dough and everything, we hadn't been doing that long and then we started SW and I miss that! I have wondered about the instant mash pizza, I don't have any smash or anything in at the moment but I'll get...

Hello all you wonderfully knowledgable slimmers, I was wondering whether there's a different plan for men following SW? My boyfriend has been doing SW along with me, and we eat the same things as we both work from home. I've been losing steadily but he's hit a brick wall and is getting very...

Still feeling rubbish, but the OH is going away for work today so I'll be on my own and I think I'm just going to spend the whole day relaxing in the bath :P B: Weetabix and ss milk (hex a and b) L: Pasta and quorn D: lasagne! I wanted to make it yesterday but felt too poorly to go out and buy...

I have started keeping a spreadsheet with my meals on now, it'll hopefully make being 100% a lot easier. I have a full blown cold now, it's not nice. Just want to snuggle under a duvet watching crap TV and eating something sugary and delicious. :( Green day today. B: 2 Weetabix with ss milk...

My lunch, which was looooovely! Made far too much though so I've saved it and I shall have it tomorrow.

I stayed the same too, I'm a bit disappointed but then I did have 2 takeaways so I can't complain really :D

I've woken up (really late, I must say) with a blinding headache and a terrible cold. I was up most of the night being scared to death by the wind outside - we have a tree right outside our bedroom window and I was CONVINCED that it was going to come through the wall. Ugh! It seems that with the...

My shopping came! Frozen stuff: Linda McCartney sausages x2 Quorn mince Quorn chicken pieces x2 Prawns x3 Chicken breast fillets x3 Pork chops Sweetcorn Fridge stuff: Ham Mullerlights x21 Cheese x2 Broccoli x2 Our fridge looks like a Mullerlight factory. ^^...

New start today. Shopping is being delivered between 3 and 5 so I'll put some pics up when it comes. I forgot to buy apples and quark so I might have to go shopping tomorrow, pfft. I'm feeling really lethargic and tired today, slept in until 11 and I was meant to get up early and be productive...

So err...we also had pizza last night from a local takeaway, it was nice (and my side had spinach on!) but so off plan, teehee. I'm just going to forget about it because it'll be too many syns to count! But I'll be good from now on, promise! Today's plan is exactly the same as yesterday's...

I'm having a naughty day today, I'm not entirely going off plan but I am going to have some naughty snacks just because it's the weekend and I fancy it. I should have a better excuse really but I don't :D However I am doing my food shopping today and planning out menus, so from Monday when I...

Morning (only just!). The ice lollies were really nice and full of flavour, I was expecting them to be rubbish as they're clear ice but they were delicious. I looked it up and they're syn free (unless I've looked up the wrong thing...) and at 1 calorie per lolly I'm not that bothered about them...

Afternoon lovelies. I feel a lot better today after I spent yesterday feeling extremely sorry for myself. I definitely won't be eating Dominos or any takeaways for a while... I have an MRI scan today at 6.20pm (really wish it was earlier so I don't have to spend the day waiting to go to...

No, definitely not worth it, I feel awful! I'm all for having treats and not beating myself up about it but this was different. My delicate stomach! I didn't manage to have anything that I wrote about a few posts back, I've had some dry toast and now I'm going to attempt some grilled chicken and...

The Dominos has made me ill, today has not been a brilliant day - if I haven't been on the toilet then I've been sleeping. Oh dear. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ok so we ended up not going to the cinema as the boyfriend had to work, so we're going to go tomorrow night hopefully - though I have an MRI scan at 7pm so not sure yet. We did however order a Dominos, agh! It was one of their new 'gourmet' pizzas with 'gourmet' garlic bread and a chocolate melt...

I tried using My Fitness Pal before joining SW, it was making me miserable and I think I was eating far too much crap - just fairly low in calorie crap...I didn't touch fruit or veg and now that I eat so much of it and it fills me up I think that's what has helped me lose weight. If you can get...

Ooooh we're going to the cinema tonight to see the Inbetweeners movie! In over 2 years of dating the boyfriend and I have never been to the cinema, so this is a first :D I really want some popcorn, and yknow what...I'm just going to have some. But I'm not going to go crazy. Gotta have some...

Oh, I don't go to class - I'm a student and apart from being really busy with studying I'm also very skint! I bought the starter pack of books from eBay for like £15 and I use that and this forum, it's brilliant. I thought id find it hard to stick to because I'm doing it at home but it's been...

2lb off for me this week, yay :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Woo, I lost another 2lb! Bringing my total loss this month to 12lb, not bad. Still haven't got to that stone yet but that doesn't matter. My clothes are fitting better already and I don't dread looking in the mirror quite so much. :) Red day today. B: Toast with wholemeal bread (hex b) and 1...

Thank you! :)

Lovely bank holiday today, we went into town to do some shopping and I was so close to going to Pizza Hut - I am really craving a cheesy, tomatoey pizza recently. OH actually asked if I was pregnant last night! It's just the diet taking it's toll, haha :D B: bran flakes and ss milk (hex a) L: I...

Last night was really tough - I suddenly really REALLY wanted some cake or something chocolatey, and OH said that we could get Dominos if I wanted to (they do this amazing chocolate melt pudding). I thought it over for a good hour or so, before deciding that it just wasn't worth it. I've been...

I watched an episode of this yesterday and I agree that the presenter is horrible - he always looks like he's about to laugh in their faces. But they were eating shocking amounts, and it was nice to see them begin to turn their lives around by losing weight - especially as on yesterday's episode...

Happy Saturday :) I'm spending today cleaning, though I think I shall head to the library and get some books out, and hopefully another SW cookbook. Not that I made many recipes from the Friends & Family one but I might find a nice cookbook. Today is another red day, I'm loving chicken at the...

It has so many uses, though if I'm honest I just keep it for the chicken and veg, never thought of using it as a dip! The omelette we had yesterday made myself and OH a bit ill - we've had nothing but trouble with these eggs, we bought them from Aldi and one was rotten and others have made us...

Whats the recipe? A 0.5 syn cake sounds amazing :D

Its loooovely - have you ever been to TGI Fridays? They cover everything in it there! But this is a bottle you can buy from supermarkets, you marinade the chicken for a few hours, put some on the veg then roast it all in foil for about 30 mins. I used to have it with chips, but its delicious...

I woke up feeling very sick this morning, I don't think I am very well after all. Oops. But I feel focused and OH and I planned out our meals last night in bed! I am going to attempt a red day today B: 2 Weetabix and 100ml ss milk (hex a and b) L: cheesy omelette with herbs (hex a) ...this...

Good morning! I have lost 4lb this week which I am very pleased about. This means I've lost 10lbs in total, so hopefully next week I'll be able to say I've lost a stone! :D OH is a bit peed that he's only lost 1lb this week (he's doing SW too) but I told him that it'll all work out in the...

I used to always have cereal for breakfast - Branflakes or Ready Brek, with lots of milk and LOADS of sugar with the Ready Brek. For lunch I would get whatever I could from Boots - usually barbeque chicken wrap, with a bar of galaxy and a bottle of Coke (I used to live on Boots meal deals when I...

So I've been good today to make up for last night - with my WI tomorrow I'm going to try and keep my syns down seeing as I had way more than 15 yesterday, and fill up on superfree. Extra easy day today. B: 2 Weetabix and ss milk (hex a and b), with a toffee mullerlight after. I don't know why...

I used to do Slimfast, and I really enjoyed it but it's not very easy to keep up - I hated having to lie to work colleagues about my lunch (because they wouldn't accept me just having a shake for lunch). I can't afford to do a VLCD where you get the food sent to you and everything, and I tried...

Ugh, I ended up having a bit of a blow out tonight on lollipops...I just really wanted something sweet, but I have no excuse. At least they're only 1.5-3 syns each so I haven't gone over my 15 syns by much but I still feel really yucky. I'll make up for it tomorrow. I have my WI on Tuesday and I...

I've been really hungry today too...ive had 2 Weetabix and milk, a plum and a mullerlight, cheese on toast, strawberries, 2 cups of tea and I was shaking when it got to 6 as I was so hungry! Then I realised I hadn't drunk anything but tea all day - had a big glass of squash and an emergency...

So I ended up making syn free rice pudding last night and it was disgusting. I think it's because I didn't have enough vanilla and so it wasn't sweet enough. So I'll maybe make that again once I buy more vanilla essence! Today's plan: B: 2 Weetabix and 100ml ss milk (hex a and b), toffee...

Happy Saturday! B: sausage and egg sandwich. Well, I say sausage, they were Linda McCartney sausages (4 syns for 2). An egg, wholemeal bread from hex b and a tablespoon of ketchup (1 syn) = 5 syns And a toffee mullerlight :) This was quite late (mmm, weekend lie ins) so I missed lunch...

I'm doing it alone at the moment - I bought the books on eBay, I buy the magazine each month, I take the recipe books out of the library and there's not many syn values that you can't find by searching google. And of course I use this forum daily on my phone. I think I'm quite motivated to do...

I do the exact same thing, Im always weighing things out and making OH hide things from me. This can often lead to me wanting to cry when I'm craving chocolate and he won't tell me where he's stashed the Galaxy :P Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

It was mostly because I'd left my card at home and only had enough cash on me to get the yogurts :D I also made myself look really close at them, like I could see all the fat and the sugar and everything and that sort of repulsed me. And my OH dragged me away, that was probably what helped the...

Are they the ones you buy in class? I'm doing SW on my own until I can afford to go to a class :( Muller lights are back on offer in Sainsburys, £1.80ish for a pack of 6. I stocked up and will definitely be going back to pick up more soon. Looooove mullers, no other syn free yogurt comes close...

Went to Sainsburys to stock up on yogurts today, and walked past a big tray of donuts and then a chiller full of cheesecake and fresh cream cakes and all that. I LOVE cheesecake and before I wouldn't think twice of just picking it up, but today I spent about 2 mins just looking at it and...

Morning! I woke up today dreaming about lasagne, so I think I'll have to look into making a SW friendly one soon! Was going to make this a red day but I really fancied some chips at the end of the day so it's an EE day. B: 2 Weetabix with ss milk (hex a and b) L: tuna and mayo (2 tbsp, 1...

I usually either have Weetabix or shreddies with milk for breakfast on weekdays (and I don't find it boring because it's like a little routine) but on weekends OH and I like to go a bit nuts ;) we have the quorn sausages and egg sandwiches from one of the leaflets with ketchup (comes to 6 syns...

I do my shopping monthly for OH and I (I'll post here again when it comes round to the time!) but we have to top up on fresh things now and again. This is from Aldi yesterday: Plums Strawberries Garlic Eggs Milk Beans (tried the Aldi brand, they're delicious and very cheap - score!) Jacket...

Were you on a very low calorie diet before doing SW? if you were then your body needs some time to adjust to all the food, so don't be disheartened! There are plenty of reasons why you might have gained. Stick with it for a couple of weeks and you'll probably start to see losses. :) Sent from...

Well done, that's amazing! Look at that lovely chart in your sig, go you :D

I used to be addicted to Diet Coke and it would be all I ever drank...at the time I was doing Slimfast and I think I was using it to stop me feeling hungry! I get really awful skin when I drink too much fizzy drinks, so I've completely cut them out and though it was hard at first now all I drink...

That's exactly how I felt last night - I knew I didn't have any chocolate in (which is usually my first port of call...) so I was literally rummaging through the cupboards like a crazy person looking for anything sugary :rolleyes: Anyway, today (green): B: 2 Weetabix (hex b) and 100ml milk...

Hope it's ok that I'm posting so much! I figured this was the place to ramble.. I have my period right now and they are always really painful - all I want to do is curl up on the sofa with a hot water bottle and a big bar of chocolate. It's silly but chocolate usually really does make me feel...

I'm due on tomorrow and have felt terrible today and I'm sure I will tomorrow as well. Usually I crave chocolate and sweet things so badly but I'm just going to do my best to stick to plan. My weight always jumps so much when I'm on my period, it's annoying but at least it's not 'real' weight...

I am doing SW at home, and weigh in every tuesday on my bathroom scales (which are WW scales, teehee) but I do sometimes sneak a peek. I think if you can keep in mind that your weight changes daily and at different times of day then it doesn't really matter, but if it upsets you too much to see...

Thank you! It's not too bad, like I said I was expecting about an 8lb gain and to undo all my hard work so it's all good :) Plan for today: Extra easy B: 2 Weetabix (hex b) and 100ml milk (hex a), activia syn free yoghurt. L: mugshot (not sure of the flavour, even though I've just finished...

I thought it was time to start a food diary to give me an extra kick up the bum :) I have gained almost 3 stone since moving to uni last September (aaargh) so I am determined to lose that and then some, as even before uni I wanted to lose a few stone. On my first week on SW I lost 8lb, but...

Wow, well done!

Just completed my first week, and I've decided to weigh in on Tuesdays :) Lost 8lb - so incredibly pleased! My boyfriend has been doing it with me too and he lost 7lb, so we're happy bunnies today :D

Pasta, passata, leek, green beans, peppers, spinach, sweetcorn, and grilled chicken with hex of cheese. Probably with a strawberry yoghurt and a tangerine to follow.

2 Weetabix and milk, a big glass of water, followed by a tangerine. I think I'm addicted to them, it makes me so happy to just sit there sucking all the juice out :D

I'm doing it at home at the moment...I'm a student and just can't afford the classes so I bought the books off eBay and I spend a lot of time reading the threads on here to motivate me. I think I'm doing ok, but I would like to go to a class at some point!

The drums were £3.99 in Wilkinsons when I was in there last week. It is a shame that the offer has finished in Boots, especially as I'm coming to the end of a drum at the moment :p

I hope so :D I am always envious of friends of mine who can go into any shop and buy pretty things! A big love of mine is vintage dresses, but there are very few vintage-y dresses that will fit me :p How are we all today? I've temporarily given up with SF, my boyfriend is coming down today...

I usually don't go into Topshop for this very reason! Plus I think it can be a bit expensive. But they had a sale on...so I was powerless to resist :p I hate how sizes differ too, it's maddening. Definitely agree that sizes need to be standardized...

Awww, poor doggies! I don't react very well with the heat, I have been known to faint a lot when it's been really hot. So i'm drinking loads of water, trying to keep out of it as much as I can...I'm still walking to work though, just taking an extra half hour to do it so I don't over exert...

I do the Body Test on the Wii Fit every morning so I more or less know how much I weigh every day, but my 'official' weigh in day is every Wednesday - just because I started SF on a Wednesday. I do it at around 6 in the morning because I have to do it before I go to work, but if i'm off I like...

Yay, I'm glad there are people posting here :D fortyandfat, that sounds terrible! Something similar happened to me the other day - two drunk men somehow got into my block of flats at 2 in the morning (I was still up), and stood right outside my door shouting and screaming, and trying to break...

I don't know if this is allowed, but I thought it'd be nice if we had a thread to chat in! I always find myself going drastically off topic in other threads and I think it'd be nice if we could all just chat to each other in here - about anything and everything, Slimfast related or not...

I've been absolutely awful today, I think its because I had my WI and i've put on 1lb. Which isnt much, but a gain is a gain! Saying that, I did manage to fit in to some jeans I haven't been able to fit into for a while today, so that made me smile. But I've been SO bored today, and for some...

Hellooo! Welcome to the forum, and to slimfast :D Good luck, and I agree with what the others have said - this is a great, friendly, motivating place :D I keep a food diary too, it does help to see exactly what you're eating!

Hello and welcome! The thing you said about your daughter is so sweet :D I havent done the two together so i'm no help but i just wanted to say hello, and good luck!

It does, it comes with loads! You can choose how long you want to work out for, what you want to concentrate on (upper body, lower body, cardio, etc) and it gives you different things to do one after each other so you dont have to manually select the exercises like you do on wii fit. You can do...

Definitely! I think even if it was less than that it'd be worth it - 10 or 20 minutes a day is fine. I know what you mean though, I hate exercise too. I have to force myself!

I just tried EA Sports Active again - but instead of doing the easy 30 minute work out (which always leaves me and my poor, poor legs in agony. Damn those squats!) I created my own custom one, featuring lots of running, walking, dancing and boxing, all things I can do a lot of on the Wii Fit...

I bought a readymade Cafe Latte SF shake about 3 weeks ago, I've been carrying it in my bag but I haven't had it yet. I really need to drink it, but now it's almost like I've got a sort of fear of drinking it - I've been putting it off and going for my usual vanilla! Must drink it soon :p

Oooh, whats the training bit on Wii Sports? I have Wii Sports but i've never played it much, apart from playing tennis on it when i've had people round. I'm thinking of getting Wii Fit Plus soon, think it'll be good for me to switch things around a bit!

I'm really envious of the people who enjoy exercising! I love the feeling I get after i've done it, but during it I complain and complain and complain :D I know it has to be done though. Walking is by far the best thing i've done, listening to my iPod and seeing if I can beat my current record...

I went shopping today and picked up all sorts of low calorie goodies for snacks, and some delicious looking ready meals for dinner :D B: Shake L: Shake S: Baked cheese pombears (110 calories, they taste like the Slimfast cheese bite things, but they come in a pack of 6!) D: Chicken, brocolli...

Oh dear, hope the strawberry one is nicer! Are those the ones you mix with water? I haven't been brave enough to try anything other than Slimfast shakes yet! :p

Appesat is good, though I decided they were far too expensive for me, seeing as you have to take like 3 a day :(

We're around the same weight and looking to lose around the same amount, woo! :D Though when I started I was 12st 6. Good luck! :D

They're around 84 cals each according to Free Calorie Counter, Diet & Exercise Journal | MyFitnessPal.com - look up things on there and you'll soon get an idea of what you can have for your snack calorie allowance!

How are you finding exercising? Fun? Soul destroying? :p What do you do? Or are you not exercising at all, and still seeing losses? Do tell! I walk 4 miles to and back from work 4 days a week, and on my days off I do at least an hour on the Wii Fit. Sometimes I get lazy, and catch the bus...

You can have 3 snacks a day and anything for them as long as they're under 100 cals each - there's a great thread here with a massive list of 100 cal snacks. I tend to have Quavers (87 cals), Weight Watchers cookies (around 100 cals for 2) or, because i've been craving it recently, porridge -...

Hey people! Hows it going? I'm really craving some of those cheesy SF crisp thingys, sadly I dont have any :( Today's going ok so far :) B: Vanilla shake L: Vanilla shake S: A handful of crisps (170 calories apparently) D: Spaghetti bolognese S: Porridge

Mmmm, cheesecake....! I had a rubbish day today as well - my breakfast was a shake, and I had this really low cal (and delicious) soup for lunch but then I also had some cake, chocolate and a looooad of crisps, so not great. I'm just forgetting about this weekend and being strict on myself this...

I feel like this a lot, I think it's hard knowing that the chocolate will taste so good and also because it's just so easy to eat it. But you have to keep in mind the amazing feeling you'll get after 1. you've exercised, and 2. when you see that number on the scales going down :) That's the only...

Hey! I've messed up the past couple of days, ended with a bbq last night that involved a lot of food, and a lot of alcohol. So I don't feel too great today :p: I'll be starting again tomorrow!

I had an awful, awful day today :( I ate so much crap, and didn't exercise...and I'm paying for it now with an almighty stomach ache. I feel like i'm going to be sick. Ugh! So yeah...lesson learnt here too!

Before I started Slimfast I thought I had a dairy intolerance - every time I drank milk, or ate cheese (which wasn't that often), I'd be straight on the toilet, it was awful. But since starting Slimfast and drinking more milk because of it, I've been fine :confused:

Thanks! :D I keep repeating my weight to myself in my head, I can't really believe it!

Yay, lost another 3lb this week! So that brings my monthly total to 4lb, and my overall total to 10lb! I'm so happy :D

Aww, don't let it bother you! It was nice, right? ;) I know how you feel though, I had a sausage egg and cheese bagel from McD's once and when I found out it was 560 calories, I wanted to cry! But hey, tomorrow's another day :D

Hello! I've lost 8lb since starting Slimfast 4 weeks ago (hopefully more than that as tomorrow's my weigh in day!) and I love it! I love the shakes, I love that you still get to eat a 'proper' meal, I love that you can still have snacks, I love that it's so flexible, I just love love love it! I...

Try eating more. I know it sounds crazy, but it does work - it snaps your body out of the routine it's probably now used to. I do it when I feel like i'm not making any progress - I don't go crazy, but I might have a sandwich instead of my lunchtime shake, or I an extra snack, or just whatever I...

You could always try going into Boots, seeing as most high streets have them. It's what I do when my friends want to go to Burger King or McDonalds, and they don't think anything of it as Boots have lovely food! And it's all calorie labelled too, and fairly cheap if you get a meal deal. I...

I love dancing when I can't be bothered to do 'proper' exercise (by that I mean going to the gym, doing half an hour on the Wii Fit, etc). Because I love dancing and singing along to music anyway, it doesn't feel like I'm exercising. I can't dance at all, but I really go for it anyway, it works...

That's great :D Well done!

Oops! I just realised that I said I'd lost 8lb so far, I didn't realise you meant this month. D'oh! I've lost 2lb so far :D

Woo, that's great! Congrats, and keep it up :D

I count mine on top, but I only ever have Diet Coke if I'm going to have something fizzy, and it's 1 calorie or something silly like that so I don't worry about it :D

I don't really eat much fruit or veg! Sometimes I have a plum or some strawberries but I mostly have Quavers and porridge :D

I do it quite often, usually when I'm in work and can't get away with just having a shake (the amount of questioning I would get from my colleagues is just not worth it!) ...I just make absolutely sure I don't go over the cals of the shake - usually this means a salad, or a sandwich that has the...

I think it's all about finding what flavour you like, when I first started I tried the raspberry flavour first and I thought it was disgusting, but then I tried the vanilla one and I absolutely LOVE the vanilla flavour. Cafe Latte flavour is also very nice, I find that it's not as sweet as the...

I bought another few tins from Boots yesterday, my local one (luckily I work right opposite one so I can pop over on my lunch break) still has loads left, in all different flavours, so hopefully i'll continue to be lucky...

I'd like to lose 6lb this month... my weigh ins are on Wednesdays, and i've lost 8lb so far :D

I went on one in full view of about 30 people when I went to the Gadget Show Live! Started out on the lowest setting then turned it up to its highest, and oh my what a straaaange sensation it is! I didn't like it, but the calories it burns sounds good!

Great pics, you look amazing! Congrats on your loss :D

Don't worry too much about it, tomorrow is another day! And you've already been to the gym to make up for it so you're doing fabulously :D Your main meal was only 330 cals or so as well, I sometimes find that I feel better having something 300 calories or so for dinner, and then having...

Congrats on your loss! That's brilliant that people are noticing, bet it gives you a real boost :D I've lost 8lb too, but no one has noticed as of yet! Probably because I have to wear a unflattering uniform too :D I seem to be losing it all from my legs, though, thats the only place I've really...

I have salad with tuna or chicken and ceaser dressing or pesto, sometimes with new potatoes too. Doesn't sound all that exciting but it really fills me up, which is why I keep having salad! I sometimes have Birds Eye's chargrilled chicken with some chips if I feel like I need a 'treat' of sorts...

Damn...guess I'll have to break the bank! :p

B: Shake L: Shake D: No idea yet... No snacks today, because my mum and I are planning to do T-Mobiles 5 for £5 Blockbuster thing...so 2 films, and a load of popcorn and sweets. I know I shouldnt, but a little won't hurt, and i'm not going to go mad!

Does anyone know how long the Boots offer lasts, or if its a regular thing that they do? I want to stock up, but I want to do it when I get paid, which isn't until the end of the month. If the offer ends before then I'll be so upset!

The single ready made drinks are £1 each in Sainsburys! And Superdrug are doing 3 for 2 on the snacks

I've seen them individually in Superdrug - my local one has a whole section dedicated to CS :D

'Ello lovelies, how are we all doing? I was up all night last night ..err...visiting the toilet :o Something I ate yesterday obviously didnt agree with me! So I feel awful today, I didn't sleep much and my stomach still hurts :( Today's plan: B: None, didn't get up in time! L: Shake S...

Wooo, congrats! :D

I sometimes have oven chips too, but I must say not very many! As Carrot said, as long as its in the 600 cal range then you can have whatever you want (well, within reason!)

Good luck! You seem to be doing well so far, keep at it :D

Good luck! :D

I had the weekend off, had a takeaway yesterday, ate 'properly' in work on Sat (despite posting my plan on here!) and yesterday, and have put on something like 0.2lb this morning. Wooooo. So I'm being a bit stricter this week, todays plan: B: Shake L: Salad (my mum is taking me out for lunch...

I bought a shaker, it's a Tony Ferguson one and from Boots, and it was only £2.49 and does the job perfectly: Tony Ferguson Shaker 400ml - Blue - Boots It has the measurements up the side so I pour in 250ml of milk, add two scoops of SF, then shake it for 30 seconds, it has like a filter-type...

It was my birthday about 2 weeks ago, so I know how you feel as I was much like you - celebrating way too much and not sticking to the plan! Just put it down to a small blip and get back on it as soon as you can, it's ok to have treats sometimes as long as it's not the norm - that's what I think...

Morning! Oh how I hate working on a Saturday *grumble* Plan for today: B: Shake S: Quavers L: Shake S: Jelly (everyone raves about jelly being under 100 cals, gonna give it a go!) D: Chicken ceaser salad

Vanilla all the way! It's all I drink, which may seem boring, but its so nice! :cool:

I do this sometimes, but I never go over the cals of the shake, otherwise what's the point? It's nice when you want something different, or something to chew on! For example, I had salad today that came to 130 cals, instead of my shake. Sometimes I flip the lunchtime shake and my healthy main...

B: Vanilla shake S: Quavers (I LOVE that they're under 100 cals, so delicious) L: Salad, with fruit salad D: Chicken with noodles and salad S: Porridge Been a pretty good day, I think!

I use a shaker (that I actually bought from the Tony Ferguson bit in Boots!) that works brilliantly for me, I shake it around for about 20 seconds and its fine and smooth. I love the vanilla shakes, they're all I have, but the Cafe Latte ones are nice too

The only thing I can think of is to add ice cream, especially to the vanilla shake, but I guess that would be counter-productive :D I read in another thread that someone tried freezing it once and it just wouldnt freeze... otherwise slimfast lollies sound wonderful! Good question, I shall be...

I've never liked coffee, though sometimes I've felt like I should when people go on about how amazing it is, and it smells so great.. :D However, I love Red Bull! I have to stop myself from drinking it too much

That's a brilliant idea to contact slimfast - I love the shakes and they work for me, but the sugar content is a bit worrying... you'd think they would have combated that by now though!

B: Nothing, I had stuff to do and completely forgot about it S: 7up (105 cals or so) L: Shake S: Quavers D: Chicken ceaser salad, maybe with some couscous (I have some in that I need to use up, not sure how nice this will be though!)

Oh dear, I am REALLY craving a sausage, egg and cheese bagel from McDonalds! MUST RESIST! Plan for today: B: Vanilla shake S: Hot chocolate L: Vanilla shake D: Jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn

Wow, £26 seems like a lot! Hope it works :D I love the SF shakes, but I think I may try 'branching out' and trying all the different kinds that are more or less the same as SF. I saw the dropweight ones in Asda the last time I was there, but SF is (or was) £3 a tin there so I just got that. I'll...

I weigh myself pretty much every day, but that's only because I go on Wii Fit every day and it makes you do it! :D Otherwise I stick to weekly, I like to see that what i'm doing is having an effect (or not...) but I can see why monthly would be good, if you've stuck to the diet and are able to...

Hey guys! I had the most wonderful holiday with my boyfriend, I was able to wear one of those clingy bodycon dresses (which I haven't been able to do before) to the wedding, albeit with the help of amazing, Bridget Jones style support pants ;) The best thing is that i've only put on 1lb! I was...

B: vanilla shake L: vanilla shake D: jacket potato and tuna S: Quavers Well today was my 2nd weigh in and i've lost another pound, after hardly sticking to the plan this week :D So I'm happy with that. Tonight I'm off to Wales with my boyfriend ahead of his sister's wedding on Saturday, so I...

I think I might try them once Boots puts their Slimfast drums back up to full price. I only ever have the vanilla slimfast (though once i did try the cafe latte one ;)) so hopefully vanilla is a fairy universal flavour and it wont be too different! Thats if they do a vanilla one...

I was planning on having a shake for breakfast, then a snack midmorning, a shake for lunch, a snack mid afternoon and then a sensible tea. Is that what most people do? I mostly do this, but also have another 100 cals snack along with my lunch, I find it easier this way. As Rachel said, the...

B: Vanilla shake L: Vanilla shake D: Pasta and chicken S: Angel delight, Quavers, carrot sticks and hummus Well thats the plan for today anyway :)

I'd say you're doing it right :D If you don't like the shakes, you could try the meal bars? I'm not sure what flavours they come in, but its something different :)

The Cure - Open, people talking outside, my typing... pretty relaxing :D

B: Vanilla shake L: Vanilla shake S: Quavers, Boots Shapers cereal bar, and about 5 strawberries and little chunks of pineapple D: A roast dinner - more or less broccoli, sausages, potatoes and gravy! I've got two more days left of SF before I go off to my boyfriend's ahead of his sister's...

I love the vanilla one - I only ever have that flavour!

I hate Sports Active! I bought it ages ago, used it once and I twisted a muscle in my stomach! So it's stayed in the box ever since, haha. Well done on your weight loss, you're doing great :D

Big hugs! I know how you feel, I think every dieter does at some stage :) I've only been doing Slimfast for a week, but there was one day when I felt really down and just thought 'whats the point!' ...I decided to have proper meals for that day, I felt a bit better, but the next day I was back...

Thanks guys! I'm not too bothered about it to be honest, it's more that it's just annoying to have to break the routine i've gotten in to ;) I love having my shakes! Back on track tomorrow :)

It's my birthday today so yesterday I got a birthday cake at work...this obviously spelled disaster! B: Vanilla shake L: Vanilla shake D: Falafel wrap from Boots (250 or so cals. I was working until half 9 so I couldn't have anything 'proper') and stawberry and oat clusters with strawberry bio...

Well done :D That happened to me the other day, I was gobsmacked! But i agree, it's a great feeling ;) Keep it up!

Eeeek, that's really bad! :rolleyes: people should definitely get complaining!

I did try Adios for a while a few months ago - personally I didn't notice any difference, but then I wasn't really following a calorie controlled diet or doing more exercise so I don't know what the point of them was really! I bought some Appesat shortly before I decided to give Slimfast a go...

I love that there are more SF-ers posting (including me)! B: Vanilla shake S: Walkers french fries L: Cafe Latte shake (This is the first time i've had something that isn't vanilla! It was rather lovely) S: Vegetable pakora with mint yogurt (80 or so cals from Boots - yuuum) D: Pasta and...

I had chips and chicken nuggets yesterday, I was very ashamed but I just *really* fancied them! It was less than 600 calories anyway, woo! (I did measure the chips out exactly so I wouldn't go over the amount it said on the pack, though, haha :o)

Well done, thats great! :D

I thought I'd hate Slimfast because I'm used to eating so much, but I seriously love it and can't believe I haven't tried it sooner! The shakes are delicious (in my opinion anyway!), as are the snacks, and I don't feel hungry because you can still have 3 snacks, that at the moment are working...

Thanks for the replies guys, all great suggestions, and I'm envious of those who openly do it! The reason I don't feel like I can do that is because I've told two girls before that I wanted to lose weight and they've both been like "oh, you're falling victim to the media, I can't believe that!"...

...how do you do it without letting people know?! I have a shake and a snack for lunch, usually I nip out to Boots and buy a ready made shake, drink that outside then go back inside to eat my snack, but recently I've found that I just can't do this when I have my lunch scheduled with friends...

I've seen people say that they've found it in Morrisons and in Poundshops/99p stores...never seen it myself though...

B: Vanilla shake L: Vanilla shake S: French fries (the crisps!) D: Rice, spinach and chicken S: WW raspberry and white chocolate cookies (These are sooo delicious, they were 80p or so in Asda and only 98 calories for 2! Definitely works to calm my sweet tooth ;)) I've lost another 2lb bringing...

Well done, thats great! :D

Good luck, and have fun! :D

Yay, well done! Thats so great :D I've been doing SlimFast for just under a week and i've lost 4lb so far, I love SlimFast! I love the shakes and i'm never hungry - it's perfect :D

I weigh myself every day too, but only because I go on Wii Fit every day like emily 27! Otherwise I wouldn't, but it insists you do the body test every day. Wii Fit does remind you that your body weight is said to change by up to 2.2lb every day though, so it recommends weighing yourself at...

Vanilla shake for breakfast, vanilla shake for lunch with carrot sticks and hummus and mango and melon (both snacks came to just under 100 calories - though I left the mango as I didn't like it) Dinner was a curry ready meal - 347 calories, and a delicious chocolate muffin mousse desert, 165...

Vanilla shake for breakfast, banana shake for lunch and 2 WW cookies (100 calories for the 2 and theyre delicious!), jacket potato with some tuna and a bag of the sour cream pretzels. Exercise was half an hour on the Wii Fit! I'm still really hungry though for some reason, i'm trying to fill up...

Superdrug have a 3 for 2 on the snacks and ready made shakes - I stocked up today :D

Well done, that's great! :D I might try some Bovril, never tried it before but 16 calories per cup..!

Just have to say too that I've found the SlimFast website's planner to be a great help so far, it tells you what to eat which is great for me as I have no idea apart from the shakes! :)

Hello! I started SlimFast today, in fact I'm having my first shake right now :) I've got a wedding coming up that I want to lose a little bit of weight for, so hopefully having that as my goal will motivate me! The shake I'm having right now isn't that nice, I think I need to experiment with...

Wow, everyone looks so great! Big well done to everyone, it's all so inspiring for someone who has only just started :D

I was like that when I first got mine, but it gets easier! Before I didn't used to want to do the jogging because I was rubbish at it, but now i do the free jogging on 30 minutes all the time and i'm fine :D (well, I do still want to collapse at the end of it, but not during ;))

I used it every day for about a month and lost about a stone earlier this year, but I got bored of it after that and now I hardly ever use it. It is fun, though, but the limited number of activities on there does make it difficult to keep it up, or so I found. I've got EA Sports Active as well...

Ooh, I'd love to give this a go. I havent used my Wii Fit for 25 days, as it cheerfully told me this morning, so I think this may be hard! I do love jogging on it though :)

Hello everyone :) My name's Emma, i'm 19 and I've wanted to lose weight for an incredibly long time but have thus far been too lazy to do anything properly! I'm hovering around the 12 stone mark with a BMI of about 27, and I feel frumpy and horrible most days so i've decided i've had...
