According to the website ... Mullerlight 4 for £1 at Sainsburys until 10/08 xx

Long time no update!! Sorry about that :) Anyhoo ... last weekend was a bad SW weekend! Went to a Naming Ceremony & nibbled on white cheesy bread buns from the buffet :eek: ... THEN we had a takeaway pizza on the evening :eek: I felt sluggish for 2 days afterwards so that'll teach me...

I read it in my early 20's too and almost 30 now :D need to get another copy though as my brother stole it never to be returned :rolleyes: I've got "One Day" but haven't got around to reading it yet, far too many books on the "to read" list at the moment!! xxx

Today is the first work day I haven't had to struggle through since I started SW :) Had a Mullerlight for brekkie when I arrived (tried the vanilla with choc sprinkles for the first time ... YUMMY!), 2 babybel lights for a mid morning snack and a laughing cow light & ham sandwich for lunch...

If you haven't already, it may be a good idea to do a food diary this week then people may be able to pick up on anything you're doing wrong :) xx

Same here ... I got it a few months ago but haven't got round to reading it yet :) xx

I tend to have loin pork steaks, with the fat removed (free), chicken breast fillets (free) and Tesco Healthy Living Cumberland Sausages (1 syn each) ... think I'm going to make some homemade burgers next time out of extra lean mince too :D then with my leftover HEXB of the day I have a jacket...

Dinner was delicious :D calculated it was about 15 syns, with the chicken as a HEXA (green day today) so at least I haven't gone over my syns today by much, if at all :) Went to a 4th birthday party this afternoon as well, avoided all party food, had a no added sugar squash drink and didn't...

Wow!! How do you make that? xx

omg! they're absolutely adorable!! I'm a sucker for kittens :) My friends cat had 3 kittens, 2 silver tabby's and a pure black one. The little black one was oxygen starved and a lot slower developing than the other two but he's fine now. They'll be about 18 months now. We got our 2 youngest...

Awwww, the pups are gorgeous!! Glad they've all found homes now xx

Told Mr Melvis about this and he reckons 1) you can't have chocolate cake on a dietand 2) you can't make a cake without flour :rolleyes: so I'll be making this soon to prove him wrong :D never buy Splenda though as don't use it for anything (except baking now, of course!) so will have to go and...

Well, the BBQ got rained off yesterday but I still had all my syn free BBQ goodies but on the George Foreman instead :D and only 2 drinks so came in under my syn allowance for the 1st Saturday since I started SW. Off to Mum's for Sunday lunch today. My step dad is the household chef and I...

Hi :D you're the same as me, I'm also size 20 & hoping to lose just over 6 stones. I did SW in 2002 and lost 3 stones too :eek: this time I'm sticking to it though! Good luck xxx

I do red and green days .... not a fruit and veg lover so EE is no good for me :) I tend to have an even number of red and green days now, whereas last time I did SW I had mainly green days (for financial reasons, it seems a lot cheaper!!). I'm enjoying the balance of red and green days this...

I'm off to my Mum's for Sunday lunch and with my step dads cooking I reckon all my 15 syns will be in that one meal today :eek: but everything else I've planned for today is free/HEX so should be ok :D

That's about the same as the Tesco HL ones so ok with me, thank you xx

Mr Melvis looks shocked with the amount of food I put on my plate sometimes, and with the fact I have 2 dinners most nights ... one when I come in from work and another when it's dinner time :D but as long as I'm full up and I'm still losing weight I'm not going to argue with SW lol xx

Wow! That's good :D Don't get to Morrison's often but may have to make a trip and stock the freezer up. How much do they cost please? xx

They're just 1 syn each I believe :D xx

The sausages are the HL Cumberland ones, they're delicious!!! Also, Tesco Value yorkshire puds are cheaper and only 2 syns each (I have 2 on my Sunday lunch :D) xxx

I think it's a really good idea for a thread Hathor :) I'm loving reading everyones elses ideas about why they love SW :D Almost time for my weekly BBQ, my favourite night of the week :) all i can eat, minimal syns and no work tomorrow! Mr Melvis said he's gonna make me a BBQ shelter so I can...

You could have tomatoes/mushrooms too .... I'm assuming they're free on red days, I don't eat them and don't have my book to hand to check lol xx

My favourite red day meal is a Big Fry Light Up :D I have 2 Tesco HL Sausages (2 syns), loads of bacon (lean of course!!), scrambled or poached eggs (0.5 syns for milk in scrambled if not part of HEXA), 2 slices toast (HEXB) with laughing cow triangles spread (part of HEXA) and ketchup (1 syn)...

I have 2 favourite novels ...."Thirty Nothing" by Lisa Jewell, and "Tunnel Vision" by Keith Lowe .... I've just read "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult and that was really good too :) xx

I love films :D so many favourites, but the ones that stand out are: Superbad Fight Club American History X American Beauty Donnie Darko Good Will Hunting Mallrats Clerks Goodfellas P.S I Love You Girl, Interrupted Big The Shawshank Redemption (but will never be as good as the very first time...

Oooh and Russell Howard too, he's very funny!! xx

Alan Carr's my favourite, I love him!! Was lucky enough to go and see Chattyman last month, it was absolutely hilarious!! Also love Michael McIntyre, Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran :D Peter Kay I used to love but every show I see tends to have the same jokes, much prefer him in Phoenix Nights/Max...

Mr Melvis knows my weight ... I was 16 stones 9 lbs when I started on 1st July. He was a skinny 10 stones 3 lbs lol, now he's 9 stones 10 lbs today so gonna have to stop him eating the SW meals with me or there'll be nothing left!! :eek: xx

Until 10th August, according to the Asda website xxx

I just posted this on the why we love SW thread, thought I'd pop it in my diary so I can refer back to why I love SW if I'm having a bad day :D xx

We have a BBQ every weekend with out friends/neighbours (cheaper than a night out ... credit crunch and all that ;)), and I love that I can still enjoy it ... I've just replaced greasy burgers, pork chops, chicken drumsticks & sausages with home made SW burgers, loin pork steaks, chicken breasts...

Thanks Hathor :) Unfortunately I can't afford the weekly fee for the SW classes, hence the DIY style :D but I do have the support of my OH, friends and work colleagues as well as this forum and another ... and most of all I'm totally motivated to make a permanent change this time :) xxx

Woohoo!! Today I achieved greatness .... kind of ;) There was a buffet at work and I didn't eat any of it, just stuck to my usual SW foods :) xx

Hi all :D I'm Melvis, I turned 29 last month and decided that now is the time to lose weight!! I've been overweight for most of my adult life, whilst not ideal it's something I've become comfortable with throughout my 20's. I went to Slimming World for a few months when I was 21 and I...

Thanks Irene :) I'll pop over there and start it now xxx

I'm doing DIY Slimming World :) xx

Hi all :D I'm a newbie WeMITT, got over 6 stone to lose .... just wondering, if I start a weight loss diary do I pop it in the WeMITT section or the weight loss diary section? It's all so confusing!! :confused: xx

That's what we do .... we have 3 cats and we split a can of wet food between them and top the bowls up with dry food. xx

We have a labrador/staffy cross and a cocker spaniel :) xx

Yay!! Well done :happy036::happy036: xxx

Thank you :p Congrats on your bump :) how are you finding SW whilst pregnant? xx

I'm making my way through Jodi Picoult's books .... they are sooooo good! My favourite so far has been "Nineteen Minutes" and I'm currently reading "Vanishing Acts" xxx

Yep! Bargain of the month!! Mr Melvis set up his skinny 10 stone 3lb profile just to make me jealous :eek: lol xx

I'm a DIY SW'er and I got these scales as well .... they're very good and tell you info other than your weight, such as body fat, muscle and BMI xxx

Never mind!! I found them by accident :happy036: xxx

Good Luck :party0011::party0011:

Oops! I bought some the other day cos seen them on the SW HEB list on the site :eek: have only eaten 2 though and it didn't seem to affect my weight loss this week, but will steer clear from them from now on, thanks xxx

Hi all, I'm a Wednesday weigher too so thought I'd join in :) Started on 1st July .... losses so far are: 7th July 5lbs loss 14th July 2lbs loss 21st July 3lbs loss :clap::clap::clap: will update weekly from now on xxx

Ooooh and could any of you please let me know where you get the SW stickers for your sigs? I've been noseying around the site but can't find them anywhere :confused: thank you xxx

Hi all :p mind if I join in? xx I started DIY SW 3 weeks ago and have lost 10lbs so far, which has brought me just under 16 stones :D I'd very much like to get below 13 stones by Xmas so will set my target as 42lbs :) Devon_Dumpling, 27lbs to lose, 6.5lbs lost MadameLaMinx, started at 39lb to...

I've only ever tried SW & WW ... I found WW hard as I'm a fussy eater and would run out of points by lunch time and be hungry the rest of the day :rolleyes: with SW there's lots of free foods, a few of which I like lol so it means even if I've ran out of syns for the day (which hasn't happened...

Thanks everyone :) I'm surprised with how well I'm doing so far, haven't had any syn slip ups at all .... turning 30 next June so have challenged myself to be thin by then and it seems to be working :D xx

Hi everyone :) I'm Mel, and I recently started DIY Slimming World from home :D I had a very successful stint at SW in 2002 but 8 years later I've put all the weight plus more on, so decided to start from scratch and work my way back down the scales. I started nearly 3 weeks ago and lost 5lb in...
