Thank you! x At least you didn't put on. I started last Monday and I lost 6lbs. I have a long way to go. This is the boost I needed. x

Thank you lovely!

Wow.... so I'm not the only one! Maybe I should email Margaret again and ask her to reconsider opening Slimming World Spain.

I lost almost 8 stones doing Slimming World in Southport, UK. I moved to Spain in 2011 and the weight has been creeping back on. *Not all of it, but more than half! :oops: Why aren't there any Slimming World groups out here yet? They'd make a bomb! I think there's only one SW group in Marbella...

Hello to everyone. I'm back! I live in Spain now and there are no Slimming World groups AT ALL. :( There's nothing like SW. Back in 2012 I lost 8 stones but most of it has been creeping back on since I moved abroad and had a baby. I'm hoping you guys can help me focus and get back on track. I...

Hi! I love Ben & Jerry's too! There's an offer at the moment on the 500ml tubs - Phish Phood is my down fall! Does any one the syn value for this? I'll save up my syns. I gotta have it! xx

I asked my local butcher and he said he's been waiting for the head office to come round and analyse his "less than 3% fat" sausages because he reckons they are syn free. They are made with chicken meat so I bought some anyway and they were delicious! I'm going to chase the head office now to...

i want to lose a stone this month... whatever......... :) Good luck to everyone!!! Karen - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Sonkie - 10lb (0lb lost, 10lb to go) Wicca303 - (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) Kayleigh - 8lbs (0 lost, 8lb to go) CazBurt - 7lbs (0lb lost, 7lb to go) Downsizingmycurves - -7lb...

This is interesting because my group got closed (due to not having enough members) and I had to go to another group. When I told the girls in my original group which new group I was planning to go to, 2 of them said that they didn't quite like the consultant there. They didn't explain in detail...

Ian you are an inspiration. You look great! What was bungy jumping like? I'd love to do that one day!

Thank you Zoe. That is really sweet. Slimmer of the week! well done! I wish I had your weight! lol.... still long way to go for me. x

It's good to know that I'm not alone. Thanks Christiana! elb4160, there must be something you are doing that is not letting you lose weight on Extra Easy. Do you take all your healthy extras for the day? you are only allowed 1 on EE. (Not 2). I didn't realise this until later. Also you need a...

-5lbs off! wooohooo! Don't know where that came from! lol... White Tulip - 12 pounds (9 pounds down) Lemonpillows - 14 pounds Tahira - 10 pounds(-5 = 5 to go) Maggief2 - 20 pounds 12.7lbs down, 7.6lbs to go Lisa D - 14 pounds sumayyah - 14lb : 5lb down, 9lb to go dotbirch - 14 pounds - 8...

Christiana well done hun! that's brill! I hope you get to lose your 3lbs next week for your new stone bracket! I am impressed this week as I lost 5lbs! I can't understand how. It's TTOM (usually it's harder for me to lose weight) and I've only been really good 3 out of 7 days! 2 days ago I...

wow! double wow!!! that's excellent!!!!!!!!! mine's tonight... will post the bad news later. lol!

Bless you! Thank you for your support it means a lot to me. I fell off the wagon again today and eat about 4 x 2 finger kitkats! oh dear... Bf not helping by eating chocolate last night whilst watching TV. He NEVER eats chocolate, why does he have to do it when I'm on a diet? It's so hard for me...

aww thank you! x :p

Dunno what's wrong with me! (not in the mood... etc) I lost ½ lb this week despite not sticking with it 100%. I've been having a really hard time trying to motivate myself due to being ill with a really bad cold and sorethroat and, to make myself feel better, i've been eating what I should not...

Thanks Mrs Robinson. It was another ½ lb off for me on Thursday. I've been having a really hard time! Been ill... and to make myself feel better i've been eating what I should not have! I'm doing it properly today (although i'm finding it extremelly difficult). Hope you have better luck! x

Thanks sweetie! So are you! xx

sorry i'm moving to a thursday group as my wednesday group got cancelled! (bummer!) Bye bye! it was nice posting here. x

Wow! Well done Meli!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you (I am also very jealous!!) I've been having a crap week myself (been ill with a bad cold and sorethroat. Not wanted to continue with diet. Wanting comfort food all the time to feel better, etc.) Also my group got cancelled as it was only a...

Thank you Kas. You are doing great yourself! xx

you go girl! I haven't swum for years! I don't like getting my kit off in public. Lol!

I love churros and hot chocolate!!! You have to have them! You cannot go to Spain and not have them. I don't know how many syns but why not have a flexible day?? I know I'm supposed to tell you otherwise but to be honest with you, if it makes you happy and you know it's a one-off then why not?

Thanks! (i've been scoffing chocolate biscuits to help me cope!) Oh dear... lol! I'm going to the gym tomorrow and I'll be back on track. I promise!

Thanks hun!

-½lb off for me! booo! how have you done this week Meli?

only -½lb for me but it's still a loss! :) I knew I'd been bad and to be bad and still have a loss...I'm happy! White Tulip - 12 pounds Lemonpillows - 14 pounds Tahira - 10 pounds Maggief2 - 20 pounds 5.3lbs down, 14.7lbs to go Lisa D - 14 pounds sumayyah - 14lb : 0lb down, 14lb to go...

I second that!! only -½lb for me too! boo!

well done dione, you've actually not had a ciggie for how long now? You are doing great! Keep it up hun.

Thanks Colly for your praise. Please try this diet plan for 2 weeks and you'll see results. I promise you. I also drink loads of water (about 2 litres a day) and I go to the gym 2-3 times a week for 1 hr of spinning. I think you'll lose weight even if you don't do any exercise with this plan...

I get weighed tomorrow. We shall see how good I've actually been! (not quite) lol! White Tulip - 12 pounds Lemonpillows - 14 pounds Tahira - 10 pounds Maggief2 - 20 pounds 5.3lbs down, 14.7lbs to go Lisa D - 14 pounds sumayyah - 14lb : 0lb down, 14lb to go dotbirch - 10 pounds mrs lever -...

That is great - can't believe you resisted the chocolate fountain. I don't think I would have!!! Good for you! I don't have cheese on my omelette but I have had it before and loved it. I guess I'd rather save it for something else such as pasta.

This thread is very interesting. I can't complain really. I am slimmer of the week almost every week and slimmer of the month for the last 3 months. The other members and I have a laugh and a joke about how it's not fun for them when I'm in because they don't stand a chance in winning the...

Don't worry Mel, you'll show them next week! I bet you were pretty shocked. It's annoying how fast we can put it all back again. eh?

That's right. I'm just looking at your stats. You've done pretty good yourself! 2.5 stones lost in just under 2 months? That's amazing hun! how are you doing it?

This is more or less what I eat for 2 weeks (original days). Breakfast (same every day) One slice of protein bread (no spread) One piece of fruit (or half a grapefruit) Monday (or day 1 etc) Lunch Tomato salad with cold cuts of meat Dinner Fish or shellfish Green salad One...

I lose an average of 14lbs-17lbs per month by doing this. When I'm doing original days for 2 weeks I can lose up to 4-8lbs per week. When I do the extra easy for 2 weeks I can lose up to 2-4lbs per week. It's important to alternate every 2 weeks or the body will get used to it.

This challenge starts tomorrow! Come on slimmers! let's do it! xx

Well done for resisting hun! That's great! I absolutely love russian salad. I've been naughty today. I had 2 small chocolate donuts this morning at work. They were staring at me. I regret it and I won't do it again - they weren't worth it and I have learnt my lesson. I am sure next week's...

No, sorry hun that's not what I mean. I have 2 solid red weeks (no healthy extras, no more than 6 syns per day) then 2 extra easy weeks (allowing HE and syns). It'll give you a boost! try it. x

Thank you dear. Stopping smoking was easier than losing weight for me. I hope it is the same for you. The trick is not to think about it (keep your mind busy - do other things - forget about smoking) and when you hit 4 weeks without a ciggie, you'll have dropped the habit. They say it takes 4...

Sure I can tell you my secret sweetie! I have 2 weeks of red days = eating fruit, vegetables, salads with steak/lamb/chicken/fish. No potatoes, no rice, no milk, some bread but not every day (for example, the only bread I have is for lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays - where I take a sandwich for...

Thank you moomintrolljen! I thought I had no will power before I started slimming world but check me out! i'm on a roll! :D I want you all coming with me! Hope the pregnancy goes well. (And the fish a chips... yummy!)

Well done Bezrez! keep it up hun! I didn't know you were pregnant. How long left? congrats! xx For healthy extras i have 1 tbsp of olive oil, or 1 alpen light bar, or hi-fi bar, or 2 extra light laughing cow triangles in my salad. I don't use my healthy extras everyday. I use 2 or 3...

Sure sweetie! I have 2 weeks of red days = eating fruit, vegetables, salads with steak/lamb/chicken/fish. No potatoes, no rice, no milk, some bread but not every day (for example, the only bread I have is for lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays - where I take a sandwich for work. The other days I...

7 lbs off this week! I can't believe it because I went out for a birthday meal at Wagamama's and I had that delicious katsu curry chicken meal. Did you know they can grill it for you instead of frying it? I am over the moon! ... I am going to the August Challenge thread now. It's been nice...

7 lbs off this week! I can't believe it because I went out for a birthday meal at Wagamama's and I had that delicious katsu curry chicken meal. Did you know they can grill it for you instead of frying it? I am over the moon! I lost 4st 2lbs in total! Yippeee!

Meli, I have 2 weeks of red days = eating vegetables, salads with steak/lamb/chicken/fish. No potatoes, no rice, no milk, some bread but not every day. Not using all my syns. Quite boring and sad really. But I do this to give my body a shock and a boost in order to lose more weight. After 2...

i am sure you will! thank you hun. Spinning has made all the difference. I feel happy and full of energy. I can't ever miss the classes! lol.. xx

Cheer up hun! you've done really well. Don't be too hard on yourself. I sometimes give my body a shock by eating chocolate or a nice curry meal. 1 day of eating what you want (not going too over the top!) . Then it'll think 'what's going on?' and shake it up a bit, then you lose the next day...

That's exactly what I've been told. Don't pay attention to your scales. The weight changes and your scales probably needs calibrating. I know mine do! Also if it's your TOTM it will affect it - but don't worry 'cos the week after that you will see a big loss! Thanks for the encouragement...

Hi Nas, well done on your loss so far hun! I know what you mean about the gym. I do spinning 3 times a week and if i miss one I am not a happy bunny. To me, it's harder to get into it when you miss too many sessions. It's best not to have a long break. My next challenge is running. I've never...

Well done Dione! I'm so jealous! I hope you don't find maintaining too difficult. They say it's the hardest thing. SW is great. I love the fact that I can eat what I want. It is just the way I cook things is what I need to watch out for. So I'm absolutely loving it. This is the most weight...

Wow! good for you!

Thanks Dione! I wish I was a size 10 like you though! x

Thanks Cristiana! Congratulations to you to! You've done brilliantly so far! xx

Thanks hun! I am being good this week. How are you getting on?

No te desesperes guapa que la próxima semana perderás. Yes, try red days. That's what I am doing. 4 lbs off for me this week and won slimmer of the week. Very pleased.

4 lbs off for me this week and won slimmer of the week. Very pleased.

LeeLea your trainer is horrible! Poor you! :eek:

I wish i lost 9lbs in 1 week. My biggest weight loss in SW has been 8lbs in 1 week.

Definitely helps. I find support here, the SW group and the magazine. I have never stuck to any diet or plan 100% except now. I am seeing the results and I will stick to it until I am happy with my weight. (Hopefully when I get to size 8/10) Lizabeth, I am glad I found someone who is like me! lol!

mine too!

Nope. None at all. You are right in what you say - it's different to see a picture and to see the person in real. Doesn't the camera add on weight? lol! You parents have lost weight too, that's great! My mum has lost weight. And also my OH has lost 1 stone without doing anything - just 'cos...

Thank you hun! I know it sounds cheesy but if I can do it, anyone can. I mean it. It took me years to get motivated to lose weight. You have to be in the right frame of mind and I never was. Nobody seemed to understand what I was going through except my mum. The rest of my family is slim! To...

I am exactly the same Tanny. I am a bit impulsive and want everything done yesterday. lol! I look at it this way: If I had carried on the way I was before I joined SW then I would have put on more weight. Whatever comes off is a bonus. I have set myself minigoals of 1 stone per month -...

Thanks luv. That is why I'm with Slimming World you see. I can have my syns and still lose weight. I love it! xx

Thanks Meli. I think the scales were generous with me this time. OooH.... you are gonna see your friends and family soon... Are you nervous? excited? do you reckon they'll be in shock? I can't wait for my turn! ... maybe next summer?

Lost 2 lbs this week! So happy!! ...And co-won slimmer of the week again with someone in the group. My group was the smallest ever! (only 5 people in total - shocking!) I was a bit aprehensive about this week because this weekend I had 2 hot chocolate drinks (I put a lot of nesquick powder...

Hi Meli, congrats on the weight loss after not being 100%. 1.5lbs loss is great! My WI is tomorrow. Not too sure about how i've done this week. I hope I haven't put on. So happy that Spain won the World Cup! they deserved it. Dirty dutch. lol! I wish i was size 12! Long way to go yet. I...

Thanks bubbalicious! Ouch!!!....

That's good to know. I'll ask my SW consultant on Wednesday if she knows how many syns in 1 tbsp of nesquick powder. I love a hot choc drink me!

I've not had it yet. I haven't got round to cooking it this weekend because my boyfriend wanted to cook. Last night he made SW beef curry (delicious!) and tonight I'm having chicken escalope with sautee spicy potatoes and salad. Yummmie!!! I love this meal. It's a recipe from Gordon Ramsay...

Not to me hun. I had a nice hot chocolate drink this morning and then I went to the spinning class at the gym. I was feeling very energetic and my stomach felt good. It was a one-off. I ain't doing this every day. I just felt like a nice chockie drink. I love nesquick.

I've just had a nesquick drink. Does anyone know the syns for 1 tbsp of nesquick (powder)?

Thanks hun. I often cannot wait for my wednesday weigh in. lol!

I do original days for 2 weeks and then extra easy for the following 2 weeks. I keep swapping weeks around and it works for me. I do spinning 3-4 times a week at the gym. All this should work for you. It has really made a difference. I dropped size clothes, i'm happier, i look prettier and...

Isn't that funny? That's exactly what I said to myself 3 months ago and here I am 3 stones lighter. No excuses.

I know what you mean. I haven't found a good replacement for Tortilla yet. I tried doing one at a BBQ not long ago. I sliced the potatoes and boiled them instead of frying them. It was pretty rank but my BF and his family said it was nice. They are English and I know what a tortilla should be...

Hiya Picklepud, of course you can join in! How are you finding Slimming World so far? If you click on your UserCP it should come up everytime the blog gets updated. That's what I do.

Well done Spanx you are a joy to read. x

Lizabeth you will get there hun. Keep coming here for motivation. lol xx

I have had 7/8 lbs loss on 2 occassions when doing red days and doing spinning 4 times a week. It is not consistent though. One week could be 7lbs, the next is only 2lbs by doing exactly the same thing. The most I've lost in a week has been 8lbs. I can't even remember what I ate exactly which...

Tanny it's great that you are doing more excercise. My SW consultant said it doesn't matter if you only do 15 mins a day but it has to be consistent - otherwise it won't work. I do 3 hours of spinnnig a week which is helping me lose the weight. Of course I'd be happy if I lose more weight...

Well done hun! That's excellent weight loss! I'm not sure about this coming week. I have some cheese in the fridge I brought from France and I will eat it. I'm going to make tartiflette. Have you heard of it?

Muchas gracias hun! How did you do? I forgot to ask you. :p

Myr thank you for explaining how your diet works. I read this forum because I have an interest in people who have a strong will-power. That's all. I do not want to join because SW is working fine for me. (Touch wood). Markandel - You are right. I meant no harm when I said 'you must be mad!' i...

Seriously? I didn't know you tried them all and failed. Whatever rocks your boat - I couldn't do it. I love food too much.

Well done hun! that's excellent. I can't wait till mine on Wednesday. I will let you know. Y tu sabes español? Funcurls so sorry about your mum's friend. It's unbelievable. They could be the healthiest people on earth but they could still just die like that. We just have to make each day...

hello lovely! thanks for the friend's request! so when is your weigh in day? mine's on wednesday and i've been pretty good this week so fingers crossed! Have you got the SW recipy book 'Curry Heaven'? It's great!

My heart goes out to you lot. How can you do this diet? i could never replace food for shakes. You must be mad! Come to Slimming World where the grass is green and you can eat... lol!

I'll keep an eye for that mullerlight offer. The one that comes in a 6 pack. Thanks!

is this about bargain food? how about bargain clothes?

You can say that again! I am Spanish and I cannot make the traditional Spanish omelette because it is not the same. In Spain we fry the potatoes in oil prior to making the omelette. This gives it the full flavour and delicious taste. I tried my own Slimming World version (parboiled potatoes...

no problem! i'm glad it worked! :D and Tanny, my weight seems to stay the same when it's the time of the month - don't worry! If you have been 100% good, you should be able to see big results the week after, I promise.

I know what you guys mean because I felt the same way but honestly, try the classes as they get easier and nobody in there is bothered about the newbie. It's all in your mind. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs Week 9-10: 9lbs

Who knows? you might even overtake me! :p Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs Week 9-10: 9lbs

I prefer going to the classes because I need a kick up the bum from the instructor and if I try doing things on my own (weights, cross trainer, etc) without supervision, I know I would not last 20 minutes. I need to be pushed. Some people don't need to be pushed. I admire that will-power. Week...

Don't worry chick, it'll come off the week after! Let us know how you did. Mine's tomorrow! Cannot wait! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

I had to lose 2 stones to get into a lesser size. It would be great if somebody could tell us how many stones we have to lose to drop a size. I am sure it's not 2 stones for every size. Does anyone know? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

I agree with Ria, going to the gym is the best thing that I've done for losing weight. That and also joining Slimming World. I am annoyed I didn't do it earlier in my life. It's difficult because you have to be in the right frame of mind - and I never was! But I am glad I am now. My gym is...

Anything eat smart, mullerlight or weight watchers, and the 1 calorie spray. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

Hi sweetie, your thoughts regarding nana trying to sabotage your diet: I think your nana loves you and loves the way you are, that's all. Nanas have a sharp tongue, don't let it bother you. Show her that you can do it! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

The class is great for motivation. I have to go every week! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

Red days work out best for me. I lost 2 st 5lbs in 9 weeks with SW and I'm over the moon because I can eat what I want. Fancy fish and chips? no problem. It's just the way you cook it that you have to keep an eye on - and the syns. There are no restrictions and you can eat when you want. The...

I think it works! I joined SW about 9 weeks ago and I've already lost 2 stones 5.5 lbs. I've never been able to stick to any diet for longer than 2 weeks so I am chuffed about this. I think SW works perfectly because you are not restricted to any food. It's just the way you cook the meal you...

SW didn't work out for you? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

Poor girl. I want to be her friend and help her, and lose weight together. Anyone know her? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

I added quorn sausage, bacon, tomato, potatoes and mixed with egg to make an omelette out of it with baked beans on the side. It really was delicious. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

That's excellent! I am so happy for you! *and so jealous too. I wish I could lose so much in so little time.

Well done hun! That's great news! I can't tell you how i've done until Wednesday because I can't trust my scales at home. I have to wait until I go to the SW class. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My scales show me I've lost the original 3lbs I put on whilst in France and an extra 2 lbs off...

Lol! Mowing the lawn is great exercise! I also have a big garden and it takes me 2 hours to mow the lawn. I enjoy the results afterwards - the finished trimmed grass and the red tan (as If i've been to Spain). Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

What works for me is green tea. Try having a cup of green tea first thing in the morning. It really does the trick! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

I understand what you are saying but when I try to follow it, it won't let me add the date or anything. It's strange. Anyway, not to worry as I've just added this graphic instead. Thank you for your help. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

That's really interesting. Thanks for posting it. Can't wait for the next lot. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

Honeycot, lovely food! By the way, I want a weight tracker just like yours! How did you do it? I clicked on extrapounds.com and registered with them however, they must have technical problems because It won't let me change the dates - or generate a weight tracker. I sent them an email anyway...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wOw! that's so romantic! Can you tell David to speak to my boyfriend for some tips? We've been together for 10 years now. When are you getting married?? You will be a beautiful wife! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

That is interesting Lucky Cat. I wonder if when I lose all the extra weight I will enjoy going shopping. At the moment I hate shopping for clothes! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

I've been baaaaaaaaad! :eek::eek: I get weighed on Wednesdays with SW. On Thursday I went to France for a day trip and I ate everything I liked! (Croissants, hot chocolate, cake, cheese, pate, crusty bread, cured ham, salami, etc..) All very delicious. As we were driving for a long time, we...

I know what you mean. I get weighed on Wednesdays with SW. On Thursday I went to France for a day trip and I ate everything I liked! (Croissants, hot chocolate, cake, cheese, pate, crusty bread, cured ham, salami, etc..) All very delicious. As we were driving for a long time, we stopped at the...

lol, Tawts! Bless your husband! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

You are doing great! Well done!! I am so jealous! Why different shops have different sizes? it's annoying, they should be all the same size. Who should we write to about this? Something needs changing. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

yes Tanny you've done really good and you are allowed to have flexible syns as long as you go straight back to the plan the following day. Which you have! Don't beat yourself - you are ok! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-9: 15.5lbs x4

Thanks for that KittyBling - it's all good then. Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

Stacey you are an inspiration. It doesn't matter how long it's taken, you've achieved your goal. I think doing it slowly is the best way (for your skin to restore). You must try this dish from the Slimming World Extra Easy cookbook (page 92). Free Syns on Extra Easy. It was delicious...

Hi Kirsty, I go to spinning and I'm much bigger than you. If I can do it anyone can. Go and try it! Tell the instructor you are new for a crash course in how to set up your bike and change resistance. Obviously being new, you don't want to overdo it with the resistance. Get a place near the...

Daily allowance 5-15 syns. I wouldn't use all my syns every day. At the weekends you can have flexible syns (use more if you want) but after that you've got to continue with the plan. I know what you mean about doing it on your own. I started doing it by myself at first but I only lost 6lbs in...

I thought it was a bit confusing but hey, whatever rocks your boat. I am happy doing SW without any pills. How do you remember to take them? When I'm on medication I'm terrible for remembering to take my pills! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I was doing good until I realised the WW sliced 'tiny' cakes are 4.5 syns each ... and I had 3! (daily allowance 5-15 syns) Oh well... I'm deffinitely going to the gym tomorrow! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

Count me in! I have about 8 stones to lose in total and I'd love to do it by Xmas with you! I've lost 2 stones 3.5lbs in 2 months with SW. I don't want to drink shakes and replace them for food. I think I can still lose as much with SW. xx

What is Lipotrim? is it a diet? pills? I've never heard of it. I joined SW and it's working fine for me. Lost 2st in 2 months.

No! Don't be tempted to eat Ben&Jerry's!!! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I've got the magazine here. I'm going to try and make it. x Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I'm checking it online. Syns: Apples, cooking, baked without sugar, 28g ½ Apples, cooking, baked without sugar, average each 4 Apples, cooking, stewed without sugar, 113g 2 Apples, dried, 28g 3½ Apples, eating, pureed/cooked, 28g ½ Apples, eating, pureed/cooked, average each 2½...

Oh! ... I see. D'uhh me! :D I saw it in Wikipedia. It's not written particularly well, I don't understand it and I am not sure if it's true or not. "Long-term Despite a higher incidence of breast cancer amongst those taking orlistat in early, pooled clinical trial data—the analysis of which...

Stacey, you've done great! You've lost 6 stones so far? how long did it take you to lose it all? I am on track to lose 1 stone a month. I need to lose just over 7 stones. Do you think this is possible? or the slimmer you become the harder it is to get rid of it? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8...

PiinK you are amazing and look amazing! Your life is a movie! What is VLCD (liprotrim)? I don't mind googling it. I have about 7 stones and a half to lose. I've already lost over 2 stones in 2 months which I'm very happy about. I hope to lose 1 stone a month. Could that be done? or does it get...

mm-Mmm! I've got to try that one! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I think my body is asleep! It never tells me it is full. :o:D Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I heard a cooked apple has syns. How many syns in the pork & apple sausages Moideux?

Hi Alibalibee, sorry I have just edited my post. It was not Xenical, it was Orlistat. xx :confused: Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

Welcome Kelly!! The first few weeks are the hardest but it gets easier after that. I promise! Just stick to the plan and don't use all your syns unless it's unavoidable (birthdays, BBqS, etc). I've been with SW for 2 months and I lost 2st 3.5lbs. I think you an I are similar in weight at the...

My OH cooks, cleans and does the DIY. He's brilliant. However, i can empathise with you 100% because he's also deviated from the SW recipe a couple of times. He's added a knob of butter in the SW Butternut Squash Risotto meal and instead of using bacon he put pancetta!!! :eek: Whaaaaaaaaat...

I've never had quark before and I didn't even know it existed until SW consultant told me about it. Apparently it's fat free soft cheese which can be used in many things (dips, sauces, cakes, toast, etc) Has anyone had it? Is it nice? I am going to have to make something with it. Mmm... I love...

Wow! You've done great Alibalibee!! I was 20 st before I joined SW in April 2010. It's been 2 months and I now weigh 17st 7lbs. Looking forward to being a size 10 one day! xx :p:D Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

quorn mince, oH! why didn't i think of it? i already defrosted my lean mince. I will know for next time - thanks! Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

That's really funny Tina!!! I can't stop laughing!!! xx Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I only tried Orlistat for a week and I stopped because I got paranoid when I did some research - apparenty it's prone to give you the big C. :eek: Is Xenical similar to Orlistat? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I'm on SW and I normally lose between 2-3 lbs a week but when it's totm I only lose 0.5 lbs! :confused: At least it's better than having a gain. You should enjoy the following week, how quickly it all comes off! I lost 8 lbs the week after, it was great!... :D Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8...

Kas, i might try the WW yoghurts. 50 calories is nothing! I don't like jelly. Well, i've never tried it before so I can't say I don't like it, can I? :p Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

I have tried to eat smaller portions (size of my fist) but it's not happening for me. I eat 2 meals a day and they've got to be average size. Not too much on the plate but not a tapas either! I had a BBQ last weekend and I ate 2 normal burgers with processed cheese and mayo! :eek: I drank 6 x...

Mmmm... i'm hungry now. I've never made sausages before but thanks for the suggestions - I am thinking of investing in a sausage machine. I would add a red chilli to the mixture. I like spicy food. :p I have just bought quorn sausages as I've never had them before and they are very low in...

How's everyone doing today? have you been naughty? what do you do when you have the cravings? :rolleyes: I love the vanilla and dark chocolate mullerlight! I also bought the lemon meringue flavour Hi-fi bar. It's lovely! Have you tried that one? Week 1-4: 17.5lbs Week 4-8: 14lbs x4

Thanks for your lovely message xxTannyxx :D Congratulations on the 4lbs weigh loss!!! wow! I lost 3lbs this week and I was really happy about that because I had a BBQ party on Saturday and I drank alcohol. SW is good for this. It shows I can have a good time, eat the food I like and still...

Hello there, I also need to lose 10 stones and I'm just glad I'm not on my own. I joined SW and the gym at the same time. In 7 weeks I lost 2 stones 0.5 lbs. I need to lose 8 stones and I'll be over the moon. I am hoping to lose 1 stone a month. I wish you good luck with your progress! xx...
