Ugh! I need help. I am having an awful time. As you know, before having Ava I followed SW. It was great, lost load of weight and kept it off even during my pregnancy. So, after Maxi I decide I'd just go back, great going but decided to join WW which I loved BUT it didn't seem to love me. My iron...

I tried making fritta's with blended chickpeas, sweetcorn, chillies and a egg to bind but it all broke up in the pan. Perhaps I had my ratios wrong? Does anyone have any great recipes please? xxx

16/03/11 So, before I get into what I ate today, just a quick update on last night's dinner. It was divine, a tad on the spicey side which was not so great for the kiddies, so I ended up bunging a pizza in the oven (not a regular thing I promise :D). Brekky 56g Bran Flakes (2 HE B, this...

Hoorah, back to what I know and love...Slimming World! I joined Weight Watchers last week and after what I thought was a great start I found that I had been doing the plan incorrectly. For me it was a bit too faffy and with a 7 year old, a 16 month old and an 8 week old I think being able to...

Hey all, Can anyone tell me how SW differs for the above? Is it extra healthy extras? Just trying to plan a bit before I rejoin tomorrow. Thank you x

Hey! Can someone tell me which flavoured Couscous is both delightful and FREE? :D X

Thanks!

Can someone tell if these are free and if so, is there a partcular type? x

Hello all, I am an ex SW member and last week I decided to join WW after having my third baby. I loved SW but as I tend to only do Green days I began to get very bored. I find red day quite expensive and don't enjoy Extra Easy. Anyhoo, I have had a few issues with my WW plan and I only...

Last Attempt, sorry I don't understand. Smirnoff, I know I am saving in the long run but short term I cannot afford a monthly pass. I only joined last week because I had voucher for free membership and free class.

Hey there! I have a calulator but that only tells me the pp value for one of each item not if I decide to have more of that item. For example bread could be 1pp for one slice but not 2pp for 2. Thank you! x

Sigh... This was my very first week at WW and I think I have gained a massive 5lbs! I haven't used my electric scales since way before I was pregnant and there is a chance the batteries are a bit worse for wear. I thought I would way myself only because I realised that I may have bee adding pp...

Hi and thanks all! I am a bity of a control freak so I would prefer to write all thing down. The Android bits you have suggested will be fine and I think I will definately get the shop book to begin with. I don't really want to go over board and then end up back at SW, LOL! X

Hello everyone. I am going to be joing WW in the new year but am just trying to figure out what I will need to get started on the new PP plan and how much I will have to spend to get the bare minimum. I am a Slimming World girl really but am very bored of it all and just love the sound of...

How pathetic am I, or should that be lazy. I am also thinking about the new baby, cleaning a 5 bedroom house, and allllll the other stuff. Oh I am worried now, LOL!!! I suppose if I just do simple meals....Can be cheeky and ask for the recipe of that chicken casserole please?

Hey all, As a new calorie counter, I have to admit that I use a lot of low fat ready meals. I have two children and I cannot deal with measuring out all my own bits and pieces for each meal. I also tend to eat a lot of cereal. I know I cannot eat this way for life. But for the time being...

Hey all, You may recall that I have been following the Slimming World plan. It worked for me 3 years ago and lost 5 stone, its a great plan to follow for healthy eating etc. However, now that I am pregger's I a, having trouble facing it and thought I would begin calorie counting at least...

Hello ladies, I am so glad I found you! I am so down (about something so stupid) that I was about to sink my teeth into a rather large piece of carrot cake!! I am 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. I joined Slimming World 3 weeks ago, I had no idea I was preggers then. Since joining...

Hello ladies and thanks. You are of course quite right. I feel much better today and realise that this is a great way to eat and stay healthy. All is well once again xx

I have done both and have to say that SW wins hands down. WW was far to time consuming and I hated having to weigh and/or count everything I ate. I became obsessed with what I ate. Now I have a young family I don't have time for that. Most of the time I have to eat on the run and need to know...

Well, as you will know I am with child. I am about 7 weeks gone and although feeling quite queasy at times, I am doing well. I stuck to the plan 100% this week, well each and every week since joining and was thrilled that I could stilled continue to lose weight and do it safely without...

I followed the plan 100% this week and although I thought I may have sts I didn't expect to gain!!!! I am right back to where I started! Consultant says its down to water retention due to pregnancy.

Thanks ladies! Today is weigh in day. I am not quite sure how it will go, I am pretty sure I haven't gained but with the water retention I may have STS. Oh well, I trust my consultant, my jeans no longer cut off my circulation and she did say I would begin to feel it in my clothes rather than...

Well, I began a food diary bur since finding out that I am up the duff with my third baby (Ava is still only 7 months old) I decided to stop. I can't face much food at the moment and what I can eat only consists of eggs and rice. Egg fried rice!! After speaking with my consultant I have...

Thank you so much! I am very scared but thrilled at the same time, LOL! My C says I just follow as normal and then get my midwife to sign a form so that I can still attend group. I'll just take each day at a time. If could even lose 7lb then that would be great!!!

Hello all, on Thursday I found out that I am with child once again. Baby number three and Ava is still only 7 months old! What a shock but I am happy and am looking forward to it all. The issue now though, is that I cannot face green/red or anything in between. This happened the last...

Green Day: Brekkie and all snacks until lunch: Banana, 2 herbal teas, one Muller light (felt bloated so kept it light) Lunch: SW chips, eggs and beans Dinner: Stir fried rice (using Veetee Basmati (1.5 syns per tub), mushrooms, prawns (113 g HE B), spring onions, grated courgettes and...

Thanks guys. Red days are VERY expensive. I don't have that many of them. Green days are far cheaper and I would stick with them but I think mixing it up will do me much better. x

i guys, as some of you will know I email my food diaries to my C so she can check them over for me. She says I am doing well but has pointed after reading Wednesday's diary that I should go for more free/ super free foods. This was my diary for yesterday... Red day Brekkie and all...

I have posted this in the wrong place. I tried to delete it but can't Apologies.

Yep, this is how I do mine. Also spray with Frylight half way through cooking.

Guys, can I ask what bacon you use? I usually get some from Tesco (Healthy Living) but its too thick, not nice. Can I just use normal bacon but trim it? x

Extra Easy Right, I lots a 1lb last night. I was a bit upset, wanted to lose at least 2lb but a loss is a loss. Onwards and upwards... Brekkie and all snacks until lunch: Apple, 1 1/2 bananas, fresh pineapple, Muller light yoghurt, 2 herbal tea's with sweetener. Lunch: 2 Eat Smart sausages...

Just back from weigh in.... 1lb off! Was gutted at first but a loss is a loss! Hope you all did well x

Hi guys, Its nice to know there are a few more ladies in the same boat as me! Good luck! It's weigh in night tonight, so keep your fingers crossed. x Red day today. I thought I would stick with Extra Easy but as they say, "variety is the spice of life". Besides, I kept thinking about those...

I have my second weigh in tonight, I am nervous as I gained my first week and still don't really know exactly why although thanks to you guys I have a few ideas. I was embarrassed but the lady who weighed me and anyone else standing around all chimed in with some advice and it really made me...

Hi Emma, of course I don't mind, we can knock ideas about if you like. Baby weight can be a bugger to shift but we will get there in the end. Sorry you've had a bad week, don't beat yourself up though as it happens to all of us. How long have you been following the plan?

Well hello there folks. This is second week of a rejoin to SW. The first time I joined 3 years ago I managed to shift 5 stone. My weight has always been an issue until I found SW now I eat well and have managed to keep the weight off. But I have just had another baby, she is 6 months old and...

Well done!!!! Enjoy it xx

OK all, thanks to your words of guidance I have decided to give EE another go starting today. I will measure everything out on my "3rd's plate" and hopefully I won't gain this time round. Could I have 1/2 SF and 1/2 Free if I wanted? What about snacks. If I wanted to eat a yoghurt for...

Yep, that confused me at first but I got that part right. x

Thanks guys! I have 10 syns daily sometimes a bit less and these are always for my biccies in the evening when the kids are in bed, LOL I will give EE one more go for the next 7 days and see how I go.

Busy Mam, I thought the same. More than 2/3 didn't seem right but I asked my consultant many many times and she said it was fine. This may have been the cause! Right, it wasn't actually a list of meals just want I ate in a list, again she said it looked fine and I did give her my had written...

I used to just eat the chicken with a green salad and bring my own fat free dressing (free). I always went for half a chicken. Made it a red day xx

Don't have the diaries anymore I'm afraid. Nope no extra HE. I am lost totally. I really wanted to stick with EE. I have 1/3 SF and I can easily go over 2/3 with free foods. My consultant says that that is OK as long as I still get the 1/3????

Hiya and thanks!! I am doing all but one of those and it just dawned on me. My snacks are usually a muller light yougurt with a Ryvita from my HE. Do you think that could have done it?

Hiya, I'me new and so glad I found you. My name is Alex and I rejoined SW two weeks ago. I have my second weigh in on Wednesday and I am hoping that it goes better than my first. I gained 2lbs on EE, I was devastated! I joined 3 years ago and lost 5 stone, so I know SW works. I have just...
