broc n cheese pasta n sauce - yum!

Had my night off plan last night and ended up having four slices of pizza, five glasses of wine and then some thorntons continentals and a baileys coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my night, have drawn a line under it and am back on the plan as of this morning. I don't feel too bad as am going to be...

Yes I think it will be hard to know the exact syns of everything I am eating, so may just do a night off then fully back on tommorrow. I will report back!

Thanks Patchwork Puss! I am going to fully indulge tonight (although the pizzas are sinfully high dominos ones so I know with wine my syns will be loads) but am back on the regime from tommorrow morning with lots of gym sessions next week before Thursday's weigh in!

Hi there, Ia m having a flexi syn night tonight and am a bit worried (have never done it before). Am out at a friends who is getting in pizzas and loads of wine for a few of us. I haven't drunk since New Years but am looking forward to a good few glasses. I thought about being good and driving...

Hello NorthEasties, Miss Thomas I had a look at the v day challenge and I am going to aim for 7lbs off. Have had a bit of a disastrous week as have been ill and can only stomach toast with peanut butter but am back on the regime as of today!

Hello Northeasties may I join in? I'm Claire (thin for 30 but am 32 this year so that didn't happen). I'm in Northumberland and this is my sixth dieting attempt in ten years. I am determined to stick with SW but am only a week in (4lb off first week).

Thanks so much Ermintrude! Now I can enjoy my dinner guilt free!

Thanks Ermintrude, I did have a search for it but no joy!Details per 100g is as follows: energy 570kj, calories 140kcal, protein 19.5g, carbs 3.5g, fat 5.3g , saturates 2.3g. The pack is 400g. Any help would be v much appreciated.

Does anyone know how many syns are in a pack of this hunters chicken? Just bought one as was reduced. Thanks.

Thanks so much Ermintrude! That's tea sorted now!

Hi Slimmers, Just wondered if anyone knows the syn value of these burgers? Thanks Claire

Hi Everyone, I'm back from my romantic weekend away and I was so bad but enjoyed every second! For the first night my husband arranged for us to have a tasting menu with wine, so there was no way of avoiding carbs or alcohol and I am sorry to say in the morning I was seduced by the pain au...

Thanks for your help everyone. I will report back on Sunday!

Oh my god dukaners I am in a bit of a pickle! I have been following dukan to the latter for the past two weeks and have lost 9 pounds (also was totm last week so am ecstatic) however I now have a week off work, which was fine, I had planned to stick to my dukan religiously and increase my...

Hi there can anyone let me know if swede and butternut squash are allowed on PV days in cruise? They are quite carby so was unsure.

Me too!!! Love my wine (although I normally just have a glass a few nights a week and don't go out on the lash every weekend so I hope that makes me a well behaved and in control alcie)

I know I just need to focus on my weight loss. I can console myself with the fact I can have a big night out with wine on 3rd September (my birthdayweekend away) then 28 September (big family wedding). Up until then and inbetween I will be abstaining and sticking to the diet to look my best for...

Cracking idea Atropos! I went swimming to distract myself and now do not want it.

I can't believe I made it through a night out only for my mum to turn up with A CASE of oyster bay sauvignon blanc for me! She bought me some as it was on offer and knows its my favourite. I hadn't told her I was dieting because then it would get passed on to my sisters and I'd have them on the...

Well I survived the curry night! I stuck to my mineral water and tandoori chicken (which was delicious) and made my own ff raita and took it with me. I must say it was quite hard watching evryone with their nan breads, sag aloos and huge glasses of wine but I am so glad I didn't fall off the...

Hi There, I did exactly what ypou did and bought wheat bran but from advice on here and a bit of research I learnt it is no substitute. Most Holland and Barretts stock it so you can get it Monday, however I started Attack without the oatbran and only introduced it on my third day. I lost 7lbs so...

Thanks for all your help, I think I'll just stick with the tandoori chicken, although I will be salivating over the lamb bhunas and nan breads but I know it's worth it in the end!

Morning everyone, well I survived a friday night wine free - the first I think since I was pregnant in 2007! However tonight is my firends birthday and loads of us are going for a curry. I'm on a PP day and think the most dukan friendly thing I can have is tandoori chicken (I can sneakily take...

Thanks for all your help, will be running on Monday!

Hi everyone, I've just finished five days of attack and lost 7lbs which I'm thrilled with. However prior to starting this diet I really enjoyed jogging and exercise classes (the reason I am overweight is that after a jog or class I'd congratulate myself with pizza, wine and galaxy bars!) I...

I love it! Have a work colleague off for school holidays and hope her reaction is the same!

Can you do that with PP and PV days? I thought it had to be PP day, PV day, PP day, PV day etc

So there I was enjoying my total yogurt thinking it was lovely and creamy, a bit too creamy then with only a spoonful left I looked at the pot and it was full fat not fat free 0%! So angry, such a stupid mistake! Picked up a few pots in a hurry and as I'd never had it before didn't instantly...

Any ideas what to add to make it tastier on attack?

Good luck and thanks for all your help

Can I have that low cal ff jelly on attack? Anyone?

CP? Sorry what is that?

Thanks for all your help m-mouse, am going to keep a close eye on everything!

No I'm not posting my menus but had the following: Sunday - scrambled eggs, pack of thin slice turkey, turkey stir fried with onions, garlic, ginger, chilli powder and soy sauce, 2 x vanilla activia ff yogs, loads of water. Monday - scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, pack of thin slice turkey...

Was the same yesterday but a pound on today. Hoping its my body reacting and will drop a couple in the next couple of days. I've been walking for half an hour a day but didn't get mt oat bran until today so maybe thats a reason too. Am sticking with it though.

Got my oatbran finally!! Just had it with a yogurt and feel surprisingly full. Got two more days of attack ahead of me

Hi everyone I am on my third day of attack and have put a pound on! I have two more days but wondered if this had happened to anyone.

Hi dukaners, I was just wondering what the drill is following a major fall off the wagon. It's my birthday in 5 weeks and I am having a massive weekend away and know for a fact I will not be sticking to the cruise diet that I will be on then. I do however want to get back on the diet as soon as...

Thanks for your help everyone. I'm drinking loads of water and looking forward to my oat bran arriving. I wish Tesco was down the road but I'm really in the sticks and it's an hour away!

Thank you so much - I would have made a big mistake at lunch. I will take your advice and do my own tonight with some Cajun spices. This website is a godsend!

Hi everyone, I am on my second day of attack and wondering if I am allowed the chilled chicken mini fillets that are flavoured (eg BBQ, tandoori, hot and spicy)? Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for your replies everyone. I just had 1 tbsp of wheat bran today and ordered some oat bran online which will come by tuesday. I've stuck to everything today and don't want to waste a day as I have five days of attack. I had another look through my book and originally oat bran wasn't part...

Hi Everyone, I am starting Dukan today and so far had a packet of chicken for breakfast - felt a bit strange but suprisingly am full! I'm never full! Anyway can anyone offer me some advice? I bought wheat bran instead of oat bran as the shop didn't stock it. Can I take this instead until I get...

Hi everyone, I am new to Dukan and having read my book and bought my supplies I am starting today! :) The only problem is that I went to Holland and Barrett yesterday and bought wheat bran as they had no oat bran. Does anyone know if I take this instead? I will order oat bran online (I am...

Yay lost 3lbs - weigh in was last night!!

Hi there, I am only doing my second week on SW, now being a re-starter for the second time but am finding going without my evening glass of wine really hard. I'm not some major alcie but once the kids are in bed, the chores are done and have my alone time, I sit with a glass of wine and read a...

I think if you are EE then you should be ok. Enjoy your night!! By the way is that DVD good? I hate at home workout DVDs - get bored too easily.....

Well done! Hope my weigh in on thursday goes as well!

Hi there, I am a SW re-joiner and had my first weigh in last week where I only lost 1lb (was very disappointed as did loads of exercise) but am looking ahead to the new week. I get weighed on Thursdays and have 3 months to my birthday where I very much hope to be in a size 10 dress! Good luck x

Hi there, firstly congrats on the end of your exams and regarding frankie and benny's I know the potato skins are deep fried so i would stay clear of those. They griddle their chicken fillet burgers so you could have one of those with no sauce and just syn the bread. From the above the pasta...

I haven't had a chinese for weeks but am a sucker for a chinese king prawn curry. Does anyone have any idea of the syn value??

Oh my gosh, I am so glad I found this website!!!!! Weekends just kill me....it's the wine factor plus for some reason, as I work all week and my husband is never about (he's a chef) I somehow seem to feel entitled to treats when the kids are asleep upstairs and I am all alone on a friday and...

Well done to you! How was your coleslaw? I tried to make my own but it was disgusting. I must say I have over indulged in the wine this week but as of this morning am going to try to 100% food optimise. Best of luck for the weigh in, you must post how you have done.

Hi experienced newbie, I too have just joined slimming world. last week was my first week and aside from a very bad wedding at the weekend I food optimised all week, exercised loads and only lost a pound! Am trying to be very good this week. I lost my first lot of baby weight at SW in 2004 and...
