Thanks Fern! It was really good of you to take the time to read and reply, i appreciate all the support given on this thread. I can't believe I am so nervous of setting a target! My new mantra is.... If it doesn't work I can always change it! F4ye :thankyou:

I realise that 4lb won't make too much difference to the overall look of me but i have to say the first half stone made no difference at all, no-one noticed and my clothes were barely looser - but the second half stone made significant changes and everyone is noticing. I don't really like the...

Hello target members I thought you would be the best people to ask about when to set your PAT and what weight to set it. I think I am about 4- 6 lbs off where I want to be but I am not sure what it will actually look like - some family and friends have said i am looking good now but not to...

I like the idea of keeping off the trigger food this week - thank you for your suggestion. F4ye

thank you thank you thank you to all of you for your fantastically motivating very sensible suggestions and your honesty! I am (somewhat) ashamed of my moaning when i see the amazing journeys some of you are on with awe inspiring 4 and a half stone losses - wow that really is incredible and...

hi all- i haven't been about for a few weeks as i feel a bit fed up and can't seem to stop chomping my way through chocolate at the moment - i need some sharp talking to to get me back on track - any one around? F4ye :cry:

oh my god - well done to all of you who achieved woman of the year - you must be so thrilled with all your hard work. I maintained this week which was good as i have had an up and down past 3 weekends - but on on track again and determined to get a good loss next week. F4ye :D

another 1lb off for me this week too - well done everybody! F4ye x

My consultant pulled me up for this and said i really should be eating the whole allowance for HEXA and B or syn it - but if you are pretty close to the whole allowance it seems really unfair to syn it to me and it still means you haven't had your HEXA or B which you are supposed to so after...

can i ask how people get the body magic and slimmer of the week symbols on their posts - i automatically got a weight loss award on the sw site but don't seem to be able to get the body magic and sotw awards anywhere. thanks F4ye x

Lost another 2 lb this week - delighted as I had a run in with a lot of drinks at a wedding on Saturday and have another one this weekend too - so won't be so happy next WI!! Well done everyone on your achievements so far - especially 5 1/2 lb camping lady - very impressive indeed! F4ye x...

totally free stir fry hot and sour sauce hot and sour sauce I have adapted from the 100 green s/w recipe to my own taste and replaced the brown sugar with canderel granules (or other sweetener) to make it free: 4 tblsp vinegar 1 green or red chilli deseeded and finely chopped fresh finely...

Another 2lb off for me this week - delighted with myself!! Well done to everyone else who has lost, has had a good talking too or is back on track! F4ye :)

Because green isn't shifting the weight that much! it has taken me 8 weeks to loose 7 lbs! so i am looking at other options! my diet really wasn't that different to green plan before i started SW i have cut down on the amount of fats and syns i eat (still having about 5-7 6 days a week with a...

This is music to my ears - I have been having a real struggle loosing weight on green and have just posted to find out about EE days as a vegetarian - I am delighted that I can also do Red days too - I am going to get my book out now and do some planning... - why didn't my consultant suggest any...

Hi guys just wondered if any vegetarians follow extra easy, i am talking no fish no meat vegetarians, and if so is it o.k to do this and still get dietry intake of protein and fibre as EE only allows 1 HEXA & B. thanks F4ye

Just found this - posted by Sarah-Jayne hope it helps! http://www.pizzaexpress.com/pdfs/fil...427-162217.pdf F4ye x

Exactly what i was looking for - many thanks Sarah-Jayne F4ye :thankyou:

Oh this is great advice i am off to a festival in late august and was worried it might be a bit tough to loose weight whilst there so really glad to see t can be done! F4ye x

Mrs R enjoying your food diary - it looks very tasty! good luck with the WI, F4ye ;)

BUT 2 and a half stone off - that's incredible! Its taken me 8 weeks to do half a stone - hope that makes you feel better!!! F4ye:)

verb

thank you very much indeed!

Hi all how do you get your hard earned slimming world awards on your signature bit? i have just achieved my first 1/2 stone and want to shout it out to the whole world but my lack of technological know how is preventing my celebrations!!!! Please help! F4ye x :confused:

1 1/2 lbs off for me and a very long awaited 8 week journey to my first half stone award! i am thrilled with myself!!!! Well done everybody else on their losses and/or their determination to carry on and loose next week! F4ye x :553:

Good Luck Lucy! :flowers: hope all goes well tomorrow, F4ye

chocolate fudge alpen light cereal bars - i am addicted! had a panic in store the other day when the shelf was empty, how sad is that!!!! not bad for a HEXB choice and you get to have 2! :eating: F4ye x

Don't be in shock be delighted with yourself for working so hard! You totally earned SOTW - well done! F4ye x

I will also join you all ladies! I have been pretty good over the last few days but had a big blip last Friday night and Saturday all day! I will optimise 100% and stick to 5-7 syns daily - including this saturday night at a hen do - tall order but I do like a challenge! F4ye x:talk017: team...

hi there you could try the old scan bran thing - my consultant told me that if you have 2 a day you are guaranteed a loss - i weigh in tomorrow after 7 weeks of really slow maintained weights and little losses so we will see if it works..... F4ye x:4635:

Hi all I have always eaten before group only to discover that not one other person in my group does this! I figure that if I am consistently eating dinner before I go it might be the reason I am not showing any great losses? Or am i clutching at straws!!! what do you think? F4ye

thank you - shipmate!! will keep sailing........and will keep you posted about any top tips i might get!

I have maintained this week and am just fed up of this slow loss today was my 6th weigh in so 7th week on plan and have only managed a 5 1/2lbs loss in all those weeks - I am very depressed and i cannot understand why i am not loosing. On green as veggie however another person said she...

I have maintained this week too - very depressed i cannot understand why i ma not loosing. Consultant has advised me to do a couple of things, drink more water, increase exercise, use scan bran, keep syns to 5 a day etc but i truly am already doing them! HELP......:mad::cry::confused:

consultant has checked the books and they say they split pots a re free but she is going to ring head office and ask for me - i'll post when i hear back from her.

split pots NOT syn free.... have put nutritional info of split pots through calculator and they come out as 9 1/2 syns each - will check with my consultant tonight but i think this is more like it.......:cry:

O.k all you sw lovelies here's a question for you - is it right that you split the amount of syns you add to a dish by the number of portions you make - e.g if i added 1 x 3 1/2 syn pack of seasoning to a meal eaten by 4 adults would that make it less than 1 syn per portion? thanks in advance...

excellent - still not sure to trust this as they really are too yummy!

did you already remember to split the syn value between the amount of portions you made (and of course ate!!!) perhaps it won't seem so bad once you do that, F4ye x

Hello there all I am right in thinking that Asda split pot yogurts are free on green? Are these the ones:confused: that are like muller fruit corners or have i bought the wrong ones? i have a little book of free food from SW which says yes and i have checked on the website but they taste too...

thanks debjik will be a little easier on myself - perhaps have been a bit strict!

thank you all for the advice ladies - i follow the green plan as i ma vegetarian so cannot mix plans unfortunately - however i will refocus my efforts and drink more water too. I usually save my syns for the evening when i feel like a bit of a nibble or a glass of wine, so when i am not hungry...

thanks guys - have been doing a food diary for past 6 weeks and consultant says its fine so will just keep at it i guess. i didi have a 1lb loss tonight - its just frustrating when there are 2 or 3 ladies about my size who have both lost over half a stone each in their first 3 weeks and i am...

1 lb off for me this week - still a bit disappointed with slowness but determined to keep at it! well done everyone else for this weeks massive efforts and heres to a great week for all of us x

Hey KTpumps how is it going since this post started? i maintained this week so appreciate the slowness feeling, hope all is moving for you now x

Thank you lovely laura - you have earned your name for that advice!!! perhaps i need to have a good look at the food diaries and check the facts of my eating and not what i think i am doing!

:hug99:oh i really agree with the others on this one - you need a professional health opinion - i didn't know it had gone on so long already, good luck xx :hug99:

Hi all i am currently very slowly loosing weight but would like to speed up a little bit - is it ok to cut out syns as i often eat a kitkat in the evening just because i haven't had any syns all day. However at the weekend i do use my syns up averaging about 12 syns on a th , f and sat with...

thank you have measured today and have good results of 3 inches from both hips and waist so i think i am just damed impatient!!

that is just fantastic - i am in awe of you! x

is this weight loss thing slow or am i just impatient - i am nearly at the end of week 5 and only 4 1/2 lbs lighter - i am a bit annoyed that i have been pretty good and increased exercise etc and only seem to loose a bit a fortnight and either gain or maintain in between - other people in group...

perhaps you are getting poorly, or is it just this heat? if you carry on like this tomorrow and you're not ill ring your consultant and have a word with her.

yes you are worth it! go for it! Faye x

Hi Sam i am 5 week into the sw plan and have bought a couple of books and magazines, the 100 green days book is excellent and the branded free food booklet is very handy when your out and about or doing the shopping and you want to check something out. i have also found the sw magazines really...

bought some new necklaces in the sale today - i am steering clear of clothing and food treats so far but i feel a handbag and show addiction starting!!!!

my weight loss has been similar with a start weight a lot lower on my own brand new weight watcher scales than the in group sw ones too just to add insult to injury!!! i lost an amazing 21/2 lbs in week one - however i don't think this was totally true as it was cold for 1st weigh in and i had...

well done you! just read your post and it gave me goose bumps!!! delighted to hear you did so well i am taking inspiration from your post today - thankyou very much x F4ye

Hi all, I have been browsing the eating out section for future research purposes and wondered how the flexible syns system works, am I right in thinking you can tot up your 15 syns per day and use them in one foal swoop? or at least a fair few of them? if so can this also be done for a night...

blimey that's staggering = fry light it is then! thanks MummyHelen, F4ye x

thanks all! i'll keep looking for syn free lovlies.........

hi all i follow green plan and therefore use fry light as a freebie but i am not sure how much i am allowed to use to cook in, is it one squirt, 5 squirts or as many as i need? sorry o sound so silly but i'm only in my second week! second silly question are syns amount on sw website for...

oh thanks a million that would be great - here it is; tomatoes (144g per 100g ketchup); spirit vinegar; sugar; salt; spice and herb extracts (contain celery); spice. i was hoping that the low salt and sugar version would be no syns!!! would be great if you get a chance to find out or let...
