I'm sure it won't be long hun. But in the mean time have this smilie as your "nearly 1 stone" sticker :D xxx

......I'm off to BINGO! Fingers crossed for the big one :) Xxx

Oh that is so sweet. What a lovely thing to do. There is obviously a guardian angel working for the post office somewhere. xxx

Hi emz, well done on the weight loss you must be so pleased. There are some great recipes on here and some lovely people too. Keep up the good work xxx

I know it's sticking with the fish theme but what about serving a big platter of frehly grilled prawns? You could serve it with lemon wedges and s/w chilli sauce (1syn) for dipping and bread on the side for those who want it or a big pot of mussles marinere (1syn) or provencal (1/2 syn) again...

That's great well done on your loss this week hun. That next sticker should be winging it's way to you soon :D xxx

Thanks. I got the recipe from here actually. The only difference I made was to use the tins of cherry tomatoes and a big pinch of chilli flakes in the sauce. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/139941-chicken-parmigiana-tagliatelle-broccoli.html Hope you enjoy it xxx

Forgot to mention 2 syns per serving and it serves 2 people xxx

It is yummy. You basically cook off 1 onion and a clove of garlic until softened and golden. Add 1 crisp apple that's been cored and cut into 8 wedges, 1tsp of brown sugar and 1tsp of sweetner and continuously stir until the apples soften and go golden. Put into a bowl for later. Add more fry...

I just made the most yummy dinner tonight (even if I do say so myself...lol) :D SO here is the rest of my diary for today Dinner: Chicken Parmigiana with taggliatelli and marinara sauce HEA+B followed by a bowl of cherries Total syns = 1/2 :innocent0002: xxx

Well done on SOTM, you must be so proud of yourself. I'm glad it's not just me who thinks like this. I was a little worried I might have upset people, which I had no intention of. :D xxx

Ooo have lots of s/w recipes that both hubby and I love. Our favorite 2 are pork chops on bubble and squeek with a creamy apple and mustard sauce AND chicken parmigiana with taggliatelli in a marinara sauce....yummmmm!!! xxx

I think s/w need to rethink this sotw. Now they are going all computerised it would be quite easy to do sotw based upon % loss over actual numbers. That way the slimmer ladies who loose for example 1-2lbs stand the same chance of winning, as bigger ladies who loose 3-4lbs, if you get what...

.....and breathe!!! The in-laws are gone and i'm now back to my normal s/w regime. :D Breakfast: Homemade minestrone 1/4 syn Lunch: Homemade minestrone 1/4 syn Can anyone see a theme hear? lol Promise dinner will be a bit more interesting. xxx

Just to finish off todays diary. Dinner: Homemade minestrone 1/4 syn with 1 slice of nimble HEB followed by a buttered brazil 2 syns Total syns = 7 1/4

Ok I have a question. Is there any statistics anywhere that show that overeating/drinking is a side effect of being visited by the in-laws? ;) As lovely as they are, they could drive a person to either drink or eating....or both...:8855: Anyway, back to todays diary. Breakfast: Grilled...

I hate the week leading into star week as I feel so bloated too. I can totally sympathise. I find during that week that by avoiding bread and drinking more water I do feel less uncomfortable, may be worth a try. Hope you feel more yourself soon xxx

I'm not doing to bad thanks hun. My old lungs are playing up a little but I think that has more to do with the in-laws visiting than any kind of infection....lol It is a little muggy down here with light spitting rain in the air which is never any good for the old water retention so am...

Wow that's fantastic. Thats a whole person in weight loss. Well done everyone....lets see if we can loose a bigger person next month....lol xxx

Another day....yadda yadda yadda ...lol Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes Lunch: Ham sandwich HEB with 2 x deli lights 3 syns tomatoes, spring onions, free mustard and 1 tbsp of morrisons extra light salad cream 1 syn Dinner: Lasagne and salad 1 3/4 syns + HEA followed by handful of cherries...

You're so right....lol Will try and pop on tonight...see you there :D xxx

Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes Lunch: Noodles and tomatoes How exciting is my food diary today....lol Truth be told, i'm flat out getting the house ready for the in-laws, sorting out my gardener, shouting at my inept carpenter and making a cake for a friend. I am, however being treated to...

I'm definitely in and want to loose 6lbs in August. Any chance of keeping the same colour as last time so I can still pick out my mane from the long list of fellow ff's? ;) xxx

As some of you know, i've been away up to hospital for my 6 month review (which went well) so haven't been able to post my food diary from the last few days. So here goes: Wednesday Beakfast: Ham with 1xdeli light HEA and tomatoes. Banana and apple Lunch: Jacket potato with beans and 2xdeli...

Man vs food is just legendary...lol Has anyone seen the episode where he eats the burger inside the grilled krispy kreme doughnut? I like savoury and sweet together but not sure about this one...lol xxx

I'm off to the transplant hospital tomorrow for my 6 month check up. After hours of being scanned,x-rayed, prodded and poked, stuck with needles and blowing into machines to measure my lungs.......i'm gonna be whacked....lol Fingers crossed i'll still be eligable to stay on the transplant...

I make cakes and party food for friends and family fairly regularly but I haven't found it too bad as I don't have a really sweet tooth. Think I might have struggled if i'd worked on a cheese counter in a deli though....hmmmmm cheeeeeese....lol

as promised i'm updating my todays food diary...TODAY!!! What are the odds....lol Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes Lunch: Homemade minestrone 1/4 syn (which is aparently a great cure for morning sickness....or so my sister says....lol) Will up date dinner tonight....promise xxx

S/w pork chops with a creamy mustard and apple sauce with mash potato, cabbage and carrots all for 2 syns....yummmmm!!! lol

Ok I know I said I was getting more organised this week and wouldn't be playing food catch up but I got chatting up on live chat. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and I had to nip off and do all my meds :p . Anyway, hopefully I have my timings back under control and will update todays diary...

Hi Tish, thanks for your kind comments. Sorry to here you're struggling. Sometimes it's a good idea to take a step back, take a deep breath and start again hitting the diet square on in the face....it's what I did and it seems to be working :fingerscrossed: lol. I'm sure your next WI will show a...

Yay....told you you'd have a big loss this week. Well done xxx

I'll be back tonight, it was a good laugh last night. I wonder what colour Tink will try tonight...lol xxx

I add courgettes into a lot of meals to pad out beef mince, like bolognaise and lasagne as well as veggie versions. Also you could try making courgette or veggie soup or courgette fritters which are all very yummy to.

I'm not Donna, i'm Vicky but you're more than welcome :D

Hopefully this will be the last catch up post as I seem a little more organised this week. Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes Lunch: Ham sandwich HEB with tomatoes,spring onions,cucumber, free mustard & 1tbsp of salad cream 1 syn and 2 babybel lights HEA Dinner: Sausages 1 syn and mash with...

I would probably grill them although I love sardines bbq'd but never had frozen sardines before so not sure what they're like to cook. Hope they taste yummy though xxx

Thank you for your lovely comments. Hubby and brother in law ate it all so it didn't last long..lol I've posted up the recipe here if you'd like to give it a go. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/161192-my-s-w-black-forest-gateau.html#post2697048 Happy eating xxx

S/W Black Forest Gateau.... ....well my interpretation of it anyway Not bad for 1 1/2 syns per serving :D

I'm having sausages 1/2 syn each, with mash potatoes, cabbage, carrots, fresh peas and lashings of onion gravy. Pretty good for 1 syn xx

Playing catch up again today so here is yesterdays food diary Breakfast: Grilled bacon and tomatoes with poached egg and baked beans (hubby cooked :D ) Lunch: Ham sandwich HEB with tomato, fresh mustard and 1tbsp extra light salad cream 1 syn Dinner: Seafood pasta 2 syns bowl of strawberries...

I guess we are now into our final week push to loose the weight. Not sure i'm gonna loose 3.5 lbs this week especially as i've got to eat hotel food for a couple of nights as away from home but am pleased with what i've lost so far. Good luck everyone xxx

Just to finish off yesterdays food diary Dinner: Homemade lasagne 1/2 syn followed by choccy mousse 3 syns and a handful of cherries. As a Friday night treat I had 2 buttered brazils = 4 syns Total syns = 8 1/2 well it was my treat night :D xxx

I'm sure you'll do it as you are so committed to lossing it. If it helps, I've looked at my meals to see if I can add more veg to up my superfree foods (like adding courgettes, peas and aubergines as well as onions, chillis, garlic, mushrooms and tomatoes to my mince) and by finishing my meal...

Hey Hun, how are you? I can definitely see a difference. I've gone from being a size 16/18 to a size 12/14 and from hole 1 on my belt to hole 9!!! :eek: I can't believe how relatively painless it's been. I think the next stone is going to take a little longer as your weight loss always...

I'm finally catching up with this week and posting todays food diary TODAY!!! lol Hubby had the day off today (he just had to go and play golf....yawn lol) so mu usual breakfast of noodles was off the menu as he made breakfast for the pair of us. Breakfast: Grilled bacon and tomatoes and a...

Thank you for your kind words. Congrats to you too for 1/2 lb loss. I know how you feel when you hoped to have lost more and the scales only say 1/2lb BUT its 1/2lb!!! 1/2 lb lighter than you were last week and no gain which is absolutely fantastic. At 1/2 lb a week up until Christmas that's 11...

I just seem to be able to spend time updating my food diary in the mornings recently, but hopefully things will settle down a bit. Today was WI day and amazingly I lost 2lb!!! AND got my 1STONE sticker. So a great day all round. Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes + Apple as mid morning snack...

I've got stretchmarks too. Mine were due to being on steroids and I gains 3 stone in 4 weeks! My skin just could take the quick weight change, hence the marks. I have them everywhere, belly, hips, boobs, thighs, knees, underarms to name but a few places...lol As i've begun loosing the...

Why is it that the hotter the weather the busier you get....lol Anyway yesterdays food diary: Breakfast: Noodles and tomatoes Lunch: Homemade minestrone soup 1/4 syn with 1xbabybel light grated over it, followed by an apple. Dinner: Chilli con carne with a spoonful of ff fromage frais, and 1x...

Ouch! I hope you feel better soon xxx

I've found this fab dessert recipe in the lastest Tesco free mag. It works out at 3 syns per serving (makes 6 portions) and mixes alcohol with dessert....what could be better. It's a Pimms jelly with fresh fruit in it. You need 2 tins of ready mixed pimms and lemonade 8 sheets of gelatine...

Ooo I'd be really interested in the syn values. Any chance of posting up what you find? xxx

Got my weigh in tomorrow and am a bit worried about it. Due to my medical condition, I keep a diary and every day I put weight, temperature and peak flow in it. Up until a couple of days ago, my scales (which are pretty on par with those at group) suggested i'd lost 2lb this week. Then we...

Just had a thought....for those who don't know what buttered brazils are they are brazil nuts coated in a hard caramel (like nut brittle). Just in case anyone though it was brazils in butter....lol xxx

Is that an "urgh" don't like them or "urgh" I want some and haven't got any? lol xxx

I have an absolute love of buttered brazils but since starting s/w haven't had any as thought they would be too high in syns....but look: Basic/Non Branded Foods Nuts, Brazil, buttered each 2 Syns on Extra Easy Original 2 Syns Green 2 Syns :drool: lol Woo Hoo!! I can eat a...

I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. Don't worry if you have had a little gain, that's what holidays are for. Good luck and well done for getting back on the s/w train xxx

A short and sweet entry today as am tired out from being pulled from pillar to post by my sister, niece, hairdresser, gardener, doctor, annoying pre-recorded phone calls and a never appearting carpenter who was supposed to start work building my wardrobe today. Anyway food for today was...

These are great recommendations. Keep them coming. Are there any in the south of the country, people know about? xxx

I guess it's always wise to ask just incase, especially as the syn values on some items have changed from a few years ago. I understand getting approval is quite expensive, so maybe that's why a lot of place don't do it. xxx

It's great that there are some places around where you don't have to think about what could possibly be hiding in your food (syn wise). There is such a gap in the market, you'd think some of the bigger restaurants and supermarkets would get on the dieting bandwagon and include ww points and...

Through joining this site i've seen the odd thread pop up with different shops/restaurants etc that sell Slimming World approved foods with all the syns listed next to them. Rather than having to search the whole site (and probably miss loads), I thought it might be a great idea to have a...

Well, as yesterday was a little chaotic, I never got to finish my food diary, and yes, I did get my lunch interupted....I had a feeling it was going to be one of those days. Anyway, Lunch: 2x half sandwiches (1 slice each). 1 with ham, 1 x deli light HEA, tomato and salad cream = 1syn and 1...

Yay, glad that everything went well and glad you had a successful shopping trip too.

A BIG NO.... like starlight said, flies are dirty creatures that do unmentionable things to food when they land on it. Sorry it will create more problems but better safe than sorry. xxx

Lots of ideas if you include you health extras into them. From steak/chops/chicken, fat removed and grilled with new or jacket potatoes and veg to curry, lasagne or fish stew. If you want any recipes just yell. Good luck xxx

You could dress up a lovely summery skirt with a smart blouse and a blazer or suit jacket so to be more of a smart casual suit look as opposed to out and out formal. Good luck with the interview, let us know how you get on xxx

Just been chatting to my gardiner as I took him out some tea. He just said that he was expecting to see a large lady because of my nick name "plum" not some skinny lady. As you can imagine, I am now beaming from ear to ear...lol xxx

I'm just about to sit down and tuck into my usual breakfast of noodles with tomatoes at 8.10 am when there is a knock on the door and my new gardiner is there wanting me to take him round the garden to show him what needs doing. So, 1 hour later than scheduled, i'm now tucking into my now cold...

I'm just down the road from you too in a village between Dover and Folkestone. Small world....lol xxx

I've never wanted children and when I reach my twenties was told that I shouldn't try for them because of my condition (I have cystic fibrosis and back then, pregnancy and children was discouraged...unlike now). It wasn't a big loss for me as I never wanted children and because most people...

Good luck, i'm sure everything will be fine. Enjoy your shopping xxx

In between a visit to a boot fayre, a bit of DIY, a visit by my niece and her parents, a phone call from both sets of parents, a bit of a tidy up, playing with the cats, preparing fruit for making jam, sorting out the washing, stacking and emptying the dishwasher, taking my meds and cleaning out...

It's not the s/w countdown that's got to me...I fully understand the need for that. It's the shops already cashing in on it in July!!! It just baffles me a bit...lol xxx

AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Is anyone elses C talking about Christmas Countdown yet? The last thing I want to think about in the middle of July is Christmas. I can see why she's talking about it...in weight loss terms but I hate the way the Christmas countdown seems to be getting earlier and...

Do you know why this is? You would think that being dairy it would apply at least to the EE people too! :confused: xxx

Things got a little mad yesterday and I never finished off my food diary so here goes. Lunch: We nipped down to the harbour and picked up some prawns and crab and made a prawn and crab salad for lunch - syn free Dinner: Phili steak spaghetti (incl. 2 x deli lights HEA) = 2 syns, followed by...

I use it with beaten eggs, cheese and seasoning as a basic quiche filling as well as for cheesecakes. xxx

I've been doing s/w for 8 weeks now and have pretty much stuck to EE. My sister has been doing red and green and if you look at the % weight loss between the 2 of us (she was a lot bigger than me so looking just at actual weight wouldn't be accurate) we've lost about the same. I think that...

Bread was always a bloater for me, but more recently i've found that pineapple has been slowing my weight loss. I've stopped eating pineapple now and the weight loss has gone up again (if you know what I mean lol). xxx

It's the weekend....yippee!!!!! Hubby is having to work this morning so had my usual noodles with tomatoes for brekkie this morning. My greengrocer has just been round so I managed to get lots of lovely local fruit and veg for the next few days inluding my favorite, cherries, so will have a...

We had beef stew with lots of veggies for dinner and it was luverly....lol It has 2 syns per serving and that's the total syns for today. The say the weather is heating up as of tomorrow, so might have a light dinner tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend. xxx

Ooo this sounds yummy, will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing xxx

We had "I wanna grow old with you" by Adam Sandler. Short and sweet and our band learned and played it for us which was amazing. My sister had "Your Song" by Elton John but it was the Moulin Rouge version. I heard an great song the other day that I thought would be amazing as a 1st dance...

Yep you guessed it (or read my previous post...lol) I had pilchards on toast followed by an apple and banana. I decided to try out eating bread again so that's my HEB for today. Dinner though i'm still not sure. xxx

9/10 for me, not bad considering 2 were complete guesses...lol

WooHoo!!!! 1 more day until the weekend....YAY!! Anyway i'm 1lb lighter today and if I can loose 2 more lb by next week, not only will I be down to the 10's (stones) from the 11's, i'll also get my 1 stone award.....so a concerted effort is needed this week. I've found that my change from...

Ok, ok so you've been a little naughty but hey you didn't gain anything.....not 1 single pound!!! What a great place to start back on plan after your little s/w holiday/cheat. You haven't got to reloose anything you've put on it's still onwards and downwards. I bet you loose big next week...

Weigh in day and lost 1lb!! I know at first I used to get disappointed with just a 1lb loss, now I think at least it's a slow and steady loss so Yippee!!!!! Anyway for dinner hubby had KFC as a treat so I knocked myself up a s/w fry up with grilled bacon, poached egg, backed beans and 1 slice...

I've been lucky to eat a a few great chefs restaurants. Theo Randall is the king of Italian and his food is to die for, Rick Stein's food is fantastic especially when he does the French Classics and Mark Hix is stunning. I agree that they do over do the oil dressings and butter is in...

Another day, another food diary, another weigh in day....eeekkkk!!!! I don't think i've lost anything this week but here's hoping. Breakfast and lunch was the same thing, noodles with tomatoes. I followed it both times with a handful of cherries and have been drinking more to make sure i'm...

Just an update on yesterdays shenanigans. I deceided i'd better make some dinner as hubby would be hungry after work anyway. So I made a start on making s/w chicken curry and half way through became very faint and dizzy. Thank god for my wonderful hubby as he sat me down, finished off dinner...

An absolutely hectic day. Been shopping with my sister and mum and trying to play with my niece but have one major issue....my back has gone. It's really painful and has kinda effected my appetite. Breakfast was a bowl of noodles and lunch a banana and 1 babybel light HEA so not lots. Anyway...

Could she be on hols?

Well as much as I enjoyed what I had for lunch I couldn't face eating it again for dinner....although hubby thoroughly enjoyed it. I knocked myself up some veggie and bacon pasta which was totally free, grated a babybel light over it HEA (it goes a bit like mozzerella when heated) and followed...

So back to normality and noodles for breakfast. Soon after I was decended upon by mum (who came to give me a hand cleaning), closely followed by my sister and niece. Several hours of chaos and laughter and a bit of cleaning later and put together a slimming world lunch for us all as we are all...

What a day! I had to go to London for a check up with my CF docs and as a treat hubby took me for lunch in Harrods. Anyway starting at the beginning, breakfast was bubble and squeek, bacon, poached egg and tomatoes (hubby's treat as I was feeling a little poorly and had a bad night). Then off...

Todays foodie journey started again with hubby cooking me grilled bacon, tomatoes and a poached egg. We then went out to a cherry festival which was great fun with lots of farm shops and music and of course cherries...lol After buying up 1/2 of the green grocers and butchers and trying...

Thank you for your kind words, they are a great inspiration for me to keep on the straight and narrow of s/w. :D 3lbs is a fantastic loss and i'm sure you'll reach your goal in no time. It's always nice to be able to pop on here and get support from others who know exactly what you're going...

My sister is very much into an holistic approach to life and she recently read a book that suggested that different blood groups are affected by different food groups. She is now eatings and leaving out foods based upon this and she believes she feels a great deal better. Has anyone else done...

Have you tried adding in Deli Lights? You can have 5 as your HEx and I find mashing a couple into a jacket tattie is yummy. Just a thought. xxx

Some of the books start from as little as 1.95, with most being under a fiver. I would only look on ebay for some of the older books but even then, some syn vales have changed since they were printed. Hope it helps xxx

Finishing off yesterdays food diary. We had a slight change of plan and didn't go to Wagamama's. Instead we met up with my sister, her hubby and my niece at the Harvester. I had grilled chicken with jacket potato and salad. I had a couple of deli lights in my jacket (HEA,had just been food...

I'd make a giant baked frittata. Just beat up your quark and add in beaten eggs (about 4-5 depending on size to tub of quark) a little at a time (beating all the time). Then add in herbs, mushrooms (that you've fried off in fry light or boiled up in some water), cherry tomatoes (if you have...

Thank you every one. Only 1 more post foodjunkie for your 100th post award...lol

Mad dash day and it's only 10.30!!!! Anyway, cooked brekkie for hubby and I of grilled bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms in between weeding the garden, feeding the cats, cleaning the kitchen, ordering veggies from our mobile greengrocer and preparing to go out shopping and meeting my sister for...

Anyone have any idea what the best things, syn wise to eat in Wagamama's are? Hubby is taking me out for a treat but I don't want to go overboard. Thanks xxx

Thank you so much for your help and advice. I have to admit they all sound yummy but the chicken, bacon and cheese pie sounds really good. Have you got the recipe for this? xxx

Food file for today........well dinner anyway lol Home made burgers with 1xdeli light blue (1 1/2 syns) split between the 2 burgers and put inside each one so was nice and oozey when cut into. I had them with a lovely salad with balsamic vinegar drizzled over the top and my home made s/w...

Thanks for the heads up on pineapple. I hadn't heard that before so will give it a miss this week and see what the results may be.

I don't think I know anyone from here, it's a bit difficult to know for certain with usernames though! xxx
