Hi guys, Just wanted to say hi really, have tried lots of diets in the past and am now going to give slimfast a go! I think one of the problems I have had with other diets is a hectic work life. My job (midwife) can be really busy and I often do a 10 hour shift on no more than a cup of water...

Toffee muller light with 28g porridge oats stirred in (made last night!) Possibly some honeydew melon after :)

Hey guys. Been absent for a little while. 2 weeks ago I put on 3lbs :( couldn't get to group last week but tonight have lost 3.5lbs so happy with that!! Feel like I'm back on track again rather than catching back up.

+ 3lbs for me. Oh well I was expecting it as fell off the wagon big time :( Back on track for me this week with a vengeance!!

I believe that once you join you can use any group... therefore no excuses if you go away for a week etc lol.

Thanks so much Jo! They both sound delicious :) I am currently making the first one for my lunch and can't wait!

Welcome back and good luck!! I know how you feel as this is the 4th time I'm trying SW! Although seems to be going well so far, think it's because I am using the group this time :)

I think the trick is to just stick to the same scales. Different scales can often give results as are calibrated differently and may be on different surfaces etc. My wii fit always tells me I weigh less as I have really fluffy carpet :)

Welcome and good luck :)

I've chucked some orange segments in some sugar free jelly and topped it with an orange chocolate muller light. Not tried it before but I like all the components so fingers crossed :)

Roast chicken (no skin), SW roast potatoes and tons of superfree veg. Gonna splash out some syns on gravy and a yorkie pud :)

All I can say is I wish I had gone sooner! Joined 2 weeks ago and have already lost half a stone :) I'd advise going along to a meeting, the consultant will talk through the plan with you and you can see what goes on etc. There is no obligation to join but if you like what you see then then...

I'm still fairly new but as I understand it you can tell your consultant if you have a special occasion/outing/whatever coming up and set a realistic amount of syns that you can stick to... eg 60 syns for the day instead of 15. That way you don't have to miss out, but you also won't feel guilty...

I'm planning to have a flexi syn day for christmas. OH is doing SW too so we can make christmas dinner fairly low syn, but I want to have some cheesecake and wine!! Will probably be working next christmas so want to make the most of this one :)

Well done Laura!! You are a true inspiration to others :)

Yay, lost 1.5lbs :) Very happy with that as was a bit naughty on saturday. Planned to go to Nandos but couldn't get a table and ended up in a chinese buffet :eek:

Options for me! Vary in flavours but so far my favourite is the caramel one. Although gonna try the dark choccy one mentioned in the OP :)

Nandos - planning on having chicken, no skin, corn on the cob and spicy rice so pretty SW friendly

Is it too late to join the xmas challenge? If not I would like to lose 12lbs by christmas! Good luck to everyone and well done to you all with losses so far... you have all done fab :)

Well done you!! sounds like you are doing fantastic already :)

Lamb steaks with crispy potatoes and veg... nice and free :)

Woohoo well done you!! :)

Good luck!! They say the hardest part is making the decision to join so well done you! I have done SW online in the past but went and joined a group with my sister just over a week ago and I have to say I like it much better and so far I have managed to stay on track (unheard of before).

I think I'm gonna have beans on toast with a little brown sauce... but not til after the school run!

First week and lost 5.5lbs! Very happy with that especially as it's TOTM :)

Well I'm a returner to slimming world. Have dabbles about with it a few times online however never really been able to stick to it (as with about 5 other diets lol). So have taken the plunge and joined the local group this week with my sister, hoping it will give me a bit more incentive...

I'm off to Nando's next week. So nice that you can diet but still eat fairly normally when out! I'm planning on having half a chicken (i never ate the skin anyway), corn on the cob and gonna spend a few syns on spicy rice. The only thing I'm doing differently is not having chips so not too...

Wow this cake sounds amazing! Gonna make this next week. Something that I can enjoy with the kiddies too :)

Welcome! I'm a returner myself. Previously have done SW online but find it hard to motivate myself. Anyway my sister joined the local group and has now dragged me along, am only 2 days in but actually feeling quite good. Haven't cheated yet and haven't yet wanted to... think I know it's...

Well first week done and lost 3lbs :) Very happy. Even managed some gym, wii fit and tons of walking (I don't drive so always do loads) My problem is it's my Mum's 50th birthday party this weekend. I already know I'm not going to stick to SF 100% that day - plan on having a couple of drinks...

Lost 3lbs yay :) Kes: 15lbs to go! Miss Mango: 10lbs to go! Beasty: 1lb lost, 6lbs to go! Livz: 12lbs to go! Precious: 8lbs to go! 2lb loss, Ria: 2lbs lost, 2lbs to go! Treblemaker: 4.8lbs to go Lozzica: 7lbs to go Serenity83: 7lbs to go Sa89: 15lbs to go! Sher: 4lbs lost, 4lbs to...

Well done you!! I agree, enjoy your birthday but I would just try and limit the damage a little. ie a vodka and diet coke/soda is less calorific than a glass of wine (sadly lol). Oh and you can always do a little extra gym ;)

Well done Jane!! Fingers crossed mine goes as well! :) Are you exercising also?

Thanks guys! First day going well so far, not cheated yet and the day is almost done so always a good sign. Have signed up for the october challenge as a little extra kick in the butt too. :)

Thinking that this challenge might give me a bit of motivation when tempted to cheat! Also to get my booty down the gym lol Count me in :) Good luck everybody Kes: 15lbs to go! Miss Mango: 10lbs to go! Beasty: 7lbs to go! Livz: 12lbs to go! Precious: 8lbs! Ria: 4lbs to go! Treblemaker: 6lbs...

Hey guys, I'd been struggling to get back on slimming world so thought I'd try something new! Going to start tomorrow morning, delayed a little as had lunch planned with my Mum today lol! Need to lose about 3.5 st in total but my short term goal is to fit in my dress for my graduation ball...

Extra Easy - 6.5 Syns Original - 6.5 Syns Green - 10 Syns Hope this helps :)

Well done Sharon!! I'm happy too as lost 2lbs this week (my first). Not too shabby considering I had couple of moments of weakness!!

I've been making mine with 3 eggs, cottage cheese, tuna, sweetcorn and spring onion. Although definitely going to try one with a pasta and sauce packet after reading this!!

Week 1 and 2lbs down :) Very happy with that as I have been a little bit ill this week and succumbed to a little comfort food, oops. Good luck everybody else!

Good morning all. Thought I'd say hi as new to the site. Starting Slimming World today, my long term goal is to lose about 4 stone but got a wedding to go to in August and my Graduation Ball in November so fingers crossed I can go down a dress size by then!
