Wow I just read your story. Please continue telling us about it. You are an amazing person! You are inspiring us - others with your story and your strength. At some point in the future you'll be inspiring even more people. Have you seen that guy with no arms and legs? You are different...

Oh wow Donna! Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Huge hugs - I will be doing more distance Reiki and also readings (maybe by telephone if you are interested). I'm happy to say I reached my target last week! My boyfriend and I also appeared in the local newspapers (Wigan Evening Post...

Hello! Well done on your weight loss ....nice to see you are still doing really well. :-)

Well I'm back! sorry i haven't posted much. My life went haywire and I started my university courses again. One of them is a pain in the a*se. Anyway, set my target at 10st and I'm now 10st 4lbs. Won "Miss Slinky" today too. I hope all my lovely minimins friends are ok, xxx

I've not been on here for a while but I have been thinking about you and your mum, hope all is well, hugs and sending some Reiki again, x

:love:Thank you Loki. I haven't been posting because I've been having some stress and just felt a bit overwhelmed with everything. :cry: its a combination of PMT and things in life getting to me a little. I'm on the best side of it now. I had an STS last week, but this week I think I've...

Thank you!!! I had my first STS this week, and I now feel motivated to get back on the plan! xx

Woo !! Brilliant!

Good luck xx

Well done everyone, sorry I've been absent... I didn't do much on the wii and felt rubbish about it. Maybe I should set a smaller target for October and make sure I smash it? You are all wonderful and very determined, xx

10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose soccermom - 8lbs to lose esellek - 7lbs to lose Hathor - 6lbs to lose

Well done!! and thanks for the new thread. x

Had a great night last night, Loki came round, which is always lovely (he lives about an hour from me so usually only weekends). Also I did a hands on Reiki session with my friend's son. I know Loki won't mind me saying this because I told him after the session, the man was 20 and had abs like...

Wow you look AMAZING!!! You are very pretty indeed. The weight loss really shows too. Well done xxx

Well done on your weight loss Donna!!! Thats brilliant! Hope you and your mum are doing Ok x

Sounds like you're an excellent cook! Yummy! x

Thanks Donna, she seemed to recover pretty quickly. She just has a bit of a cold now and I'm successfully avoiding it! Giving myself lots of Reiki and also taking vitamin C! :) x

I was initially thinking about having a blog which is password protected. People can comment against a lesson but only the people with access. What do you think? Thanks x

Why_d you are AWESOME!!! I'm happy I lost 2.5lbs....soooo happy! 1. I got "healthy" BMI 2. I got under 11 stones (now I'm 10st 13lbs) and 3. I hit my monthly goal for September WOOOOOO :D 10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose (1.5lbs lost) Donnap - 7lbs to lose (7lbs lost) Moo85 - 4lbs lost & finally...

Well done everyone, its the 2.5lbs off week because I also lost 2.5lbs! yay. My BMI went into "Healthy" and I got under 11 stones for the first time in about 10 years!!!!! So pleased.

Hi, Ali :-) I Pm'd you about it. Now I'm wondering if he'd be reluctant to give permission, and this may be why I got what I got. Anyway.... I lost 2.5lbs this week!!! Making me 10stones 13lbs!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

You've got me thinking now!! I need the facility to protect my information though. So if I create a course, I don't want someone coming along and copying it. I could password protect it online so that only course attendees could access it I suppose. ? Students could email me with their...

WOW!!! Only just seen this!!! 12lbs! amazing! ........ AMAZING!!!! Well done.

You are welcome. I did send some more tonight around 8.30 (with the others who posted to my food diary for healing) and I messaged you with some comments. Did they scan your mum's body (a CT scan)? Best of luck at the weigh in. :)

You can develop it! I have always seen spirits, but even if you haven't, you can learn to sense things. You can connect with your spirit guides relatively easily (with a bit of practise) and anyone can do Reiki if they receive attunements and are taught by a Reiki Master. Maybe I should run...

Yes we are OK now thanks :) Of course I can add your dad. I'm going to send some distance healing now. What is your name? I keep calling you by your screen name. so from here I have WhyD, Donna's Mum, 10st10lb's Dad. I will be sending something now its approx 8.30pm Monday night. x

t I'm really glad it helped :) I'm not sure I can actually go into *everything* but - I do Reiki, card readings, mediumship, dream analysis and other spiritual type advice (my background is in witchcraft so I can advise on that, but I don't practice that nowadays myself). I can help people...

Frozen yoghurt and frozen grapes - any good? I froze a muller once and I didn't really like it... Anyway, keep up the good work x

My daughter was up all night with a temp and didn't seem well, fortunately her temp went down this morning and she seems normal now, but just a little off colour. I'm totally exhausted! Oh I'm offering Reiki distance healing by the way so if anyone wants to be added to the list just let me...

I've not been updating my food! What did I eat yesterday? Oh yeah, a bit boring really.... 1 slice wholemeal toast, laughing cow extra light x 1 (a), lactofree milk in coffee (a)(seems to help, but I'm going on soya to see if that alleviates all symptoms, didn't taste too bad in my coffee at...

10st 10lbs, and Amytoria, In the weeks to come that little gain will mean nothing. Body fluctuations and other things (water retention) can easily make it look like a gain but it could drop off next week. Keep up the good work and it will definitely come off - millions have proven that if you...

Thanks for this! I bought some yesterday and I've been using it since. Last night my skin seemed better!! I really hope this is the cause, I've been suffering for months with itchy skin.

Hi Everyone, Sorry I haven't been visiting so much, I was on holiday last week. I'm back but haven't been on the wii except to weigh. You're all doing really well :) Well done! x

Yesterday: Slice wholemeal toast with 1 laughing cow extra light, fruit Lunch: Corned beef hash (corned beef (4 syns?), potatoes, carrots, onions, sprouts, brocolli, beef stock) Dinner: Spanish chicken - chicken, tinned tomatoes, spices, 1 chicken stock cube, red peppers, onions, small...

Well done Laura!! Impressive.

Yes, thinking of you Donna. x

Hello!! I'm back from holiday! I see that you've all been losing lots since I've been gone, so well done everyone! Its WI tomorrow for me, so I will update then. It looks promising according to the Wii scales, but who knows what the demon slimming world scales will say? I add my salute to...

This is me at my birthday meal - I took a pic in the loo (!!)

Hello! I am feeling pretty good today. Got back from holiday yesterday and weighed on the Wii fit (I can hear 10st 10lbs saying "nooo, ignore the wii!!!") - this time it was good news. It says I lost 3lbs from the last weigh and gave me a reading of 11st exactly ! woooo...it tipped onto...

about mums, my mum came back from a 9 week holiday to see me 1.5 stones lighter and said "yeah you've done OK, your boobs have totally gone though haven't they? I bet you can't even eat bread." ROFL. Actually my cup size hasn't changed, but the fat around the cups has lol. Hugs everyone...

(((((((((((((((((((piglet))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I hope you are feeling better. You are doing really well! Eating too much is something anyone can do but you and us are changing our lives now. Keep going and it WILL work. Hugs x

Well done everyone. It was my birthday yesterday and I ate LOTS including a lot of fudge cake. I haven't weighed in because I'm on holiday, so I will update the damage next week (eek!!!)

Thanks....I'm away at the moment and yesterday was my birthday! I had a great day, but I did eat a lot. I had nearly half a chocolate fudge cake to myself (one large slice after dinner and one later on). I'm back on plan today but being away its easy to over eat. Just hoping I don't gain...

Thank you!!! Oh...we ended up going to an indian and here is what I ate! (uh oh!) Chicken Tikka with side salad (just a few pieces, maybe 5 syns?) Chicken Rogan Josh (12 syns) with a small amount of boiled rice Half a plain naan bread (12 syns) Half a chocolate fudge cake (huge slice...

It all sounds lovely, they're good choices for the meal. We're out tomorrow night on a meal and we thought maybe chinese, but I'm not sure.

Its great having her back but she's been tired / jetlagged so is only just recovering. Loki has been getting compliments at work for ages - people telling him they didn't even realise it was him! (he works in a very large building) and I was like "I hope all those women know you are taken!"...

Perfect description! The one I had was like a cuppa soup with pasta.

Thanks...I thought they were free. I won some when I won slimmer of the week and they were tomato and herb flavour - surprisingly tasty yes. My daughter happily ate the other half of it. :)

Ok I kicked off the day with 30 mins on the wii, so that was good, I bagged 2930 steps. :D Breakfast: 1 slice wholemeal toast with 1 laughing cow extra light and pickled onions, 1 apple Lunch: Spinach leaves, tomatoes, ff cottage cheese mixed with onions, sw chips (about 6 that were left...

Hi! :love: Mum wasn't as rapturous as I wanted her to be....but she was impressed. (lol!) Hugs :sign0168:

Thanks. I keep repeating the 2 min one, so I guess I could do longer without stopping (?) HA I will let you know. I was rubbish at the 2 min one so I guessed that the advanced would be beyond me! :faint2: <<< me during workout!

Thanks :) Hoola hooping is tiring isn't it?! I get really sweaty doing it. Bugs me it only lasts 2 mins. I haven't done advanced I just do the ordinary, but I suspect the ordinary never changes? Or can you unlock more? Or do you recommend just doing advanced? x

Welcome! x

Got another compliment too. A man I know who I went to school with commented on a photo of me on facebook - and he said I looked amazing and very sexy and well done on the weight loss. Anyway, Loki obviously went all green eyed monster and I made sure the guy knew I am taken (its on my profile...

Good going Miss Mango. I need to get some time in this week because I'm away next week. Its my birthday next week :D

I will send some healing today to your mum, if she wants to receive it she will "know" and she'll allow it in. I really hope she improves. hugs x Well done on your loss too, thats amazing given the circumstances. x

Woo!! well done!!

OK so last night I ate: Magnum Mini (8 syns) 2 slices toast with bertolli spread (its like butter) now I hadn't had a B choice yesterday so I'll count the bread as a B, butter was approx 5 syns Slice Cheesecake new syn value 3.5 syns Thats 16.5 plus the syns earlier in the day 1, so 17.5 syns...

Thank you so much! Well done on such a great start to your journey! x

WOW!! what an achievement! well done! Inspirational. x

Thank you for the hug!! typical ads, tempting us....except I don't have any money so takeaways are out rofl. One good thing is that I don't have bad foods in the house ha ha, well I do have chocolate but I'm not tempted by it, I would be very tempted if there were a pizza in the house, but...

just realised that its my 11th weigh in, I lost 1lb, overall I lost 1 stone 11lbs... 11th, 1lb, 1st, 11lbs thank god its not the 11th of the month lol :p:crazy::character00100::bolt:

Today: 2 x quorn bramley apple bangers (pls tell me they are free), 2 bacon, 1 egg, mushrooms. Spinach salad, ff cottage cheese, small amount of pasta, ff dressing, pickled onions Slimming world chips with curry (feel naughty cos there were so many chips) Magnum mini (!!!! 8 syns) Not...

I know, I know! Its just too hard to not do the weigh thing on it.... I lost 1lb, which is good, at least I didn't gain or anything. The cheesecake recipe is wrong....rich tea biscuits have 2 syns each! ARGH!!!! I'm feeling really weird and feeling like just eating anything I want...

I always feel really good starting a new week because I can imagine losing lots and doing really well in the coming week. x

I lost 1lb this week :rolleyes::sigh: I know why. Cooked breakfasts every morning (instead of just maybe 2 mornings) and making a cheesecake recipe where I thought I'd use rich tea biscuits cos they were half a syn each....only to discover after eating lots of it that rich tea are 2 syns...

Well done everyone on their losses :D I've lost 1lb, so I'm quite pleased, but with two weeks of 1lb losses I need to make sure I'm still 100% and not sneaking little things into the diet. Still 3lbs away from my 2st sticker too. :)

hugs and good luck! I get like that before my period, I just get the munchies! I think its possible to know whether you've lost just by how your body feels which is really strange because its only 1 or 2 pounds. I hope I am proved wrong later and I've at least lost something! I'm away next...

Monday - Breakfast: quorn sausage, 1 egg, 2 bacon, 1 slice toast w laughing cow extra light Lunch: low syn cheesecake (2 syns), fruit Dinner: prawn stir fry with sweet chilli sauce (1 syn) Low syn cheesecake again...made some with chocolate options in it yummy 2 syns. I hope my weigh in...

Here we are again! Had a weird week - and I'm once again stressing out about weigh in. I don't even know why exactly. :S Good luck everyone with today's weigh! x

Thanks. Don't worry about your blip, its just a one off....try your best to get back on track. :)

well done on losing 5.5lbs! x

OMG check out these cheesecakes! I made these but used rich tea biscuits which are only 0.5syns a biscuit I think. I used 12 rich tea (6 syns) and a bit more flora so I reckon 10 syns. They were yummy but as I said on the other thread I'd make double the topping (or less cakes and put more...

I made these yesterday using rich tea biscuits. So the syns were reduced. I used 12 rich tea (6 syns) and flora extra light - used a bit extra flora but not much. I reckon 10 syns for the bases. I worked out 1 syn for each cake because the other ingredients are free. They were lovely! I...

You too?! ;) Well us crazy people just need to follow the slimming world formula and stop being so worrysome. I swear if we *did* burn calories from worrying and thinking I'd be skin and bone!

WOOO!!!! Well done!!!! :D:flowers::clap:

:D Phew! I thought I was alone in my madness! :p You are right, there is no point stressing out - just follow the plan like I have before and it will work. (doh) Loki has my bathroom scales, but there is still the wii fit. Its just too tempting to get onto the wii and do the weigh...

Hi Crimson, welcome! its not too late to join and you started already, so well done.

Hello Hufflybug, welcome to the challenge! x

Well done pigletville on setting the standard! keep up the good work and you'll definitely see results! x

Grr its horrible!! I hate all the noises too because it was cute at first but then a hundred times later its not so cute! :mad: I haven't even stepped onto it this morning because its WI tomorrow and I will absolutely hate it if it says I weigh more! Will probably do some later.

Does that work??? Loki has got a wooden board that he had for some other purpose and I was going to try that but to be honest it doesn't look quite high enough. I have a stack of catalogues in the cupboard too.... Don't you fall off?

:D Well done on making a start. Just follow the plan and it works! Are you planning extra easy or green / red? Good luck x

Thank you! I think I put it in the wrong area? I think it should be in "food diaries" but now I think it may have to stay here! x

Clobow I hope Santa brings you a Wii fit! ;) Saturday: breakfast - 1 rasher bacon, 1 egg, 1 slice toast with laughing cow extra light Lunch: Shape Zero, Alpen Light, Orange, Apple Dinner: Steak, jacket potato, mushrooms, tomato, mustard sauce (3 syns?) Milk in coffee Today (Sunday)...

Hi Shelly I've done that before and its turned out OK. One week I ate an entire dominos (small) pizza to myself (50 syns) but because I stuck to plan 100% all week I still lost that week. :O x

That sounds lovely but forgive my ignorance...what is a crepe? x

OK thanks. Bloody wii fit says I weigh 1lb more, which really gets on my nerves and I can only conclude it isn't accurate! What day is your weigh in? Mine is Tuesday and I really want 2lbs off because I set the mini target of 2 weeks to reach my 2stone sticker (4lbs to lose).

I wonder if anyone can comment on the weird feelings I keep getting. Its been maybe 10 years since I was below 11st and I seem to have a mental block or something... Basically I get up and feel uneasy, like thinking "Oh my god....I'm doing something wrong on the diet...and maybe even if I...

Well done on another 2lbs lost!! Thats brilliant! also you must feel great getting nearly half way to target :D Your menus are great, they look like mine when I'm on a super good day! I keep wondering whether to try red or green, all this time I've been doing extra easy. But keep thinking...

I really can't update daily....but I can confirm I've been drinking 2ltrs a day. :)

Yes, be careful! This site is searchable on google and you have your picture on. Hugs and I hope you do well despite all the travel etc. x

Good going everyone! I managed 1 hour on Friday, but then the bloody thing told me on Saturday I'd gained a pound. I hate the wii scales! Anyway... Hathor - 6 hours, 1 hour 30 mins done Pigletville - 10 hours, 1 hour 26 minutes done c2b - 4 hrs, 0 done Miss Mango - 10 hours, 1 hour 12...

I really hope you are OK and I sincerely hope your mum's health improves. (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) I can do Reiki if you like I can send you some Reiki by distance. x

Do you think these could be made with Rich Tea biscuits, 0.5syns each? x

My daughter was 17 months before she walked. x

WOW!! Well done on losing 8lbs. x

Hi, you are doing well, just keep up the good work! Are beans synned on red days? I do all extra easy so I don't know. Also don't yorkshire puds have more syns? xx

Miss Mango - update after each session - I do! ;) or however often you feel. Welcome miss R x

I'm joining in!!! 2 litres a day. :)

Do you really want to lose weight? You need to put 100% effort in and it will happen for you. People all over the world are losing weight on SW - it works. On this forum there are people who are losing weight. What are they eating? Follow their food diaries! Write your own food diary...

Yay! and all you have to do is carry on doing the same things xxx

Breakfast: Strawberries, blueberries, shape zero Coffee with milk (a) Lunch - this was yummy and so good for the plan: Onions, carrots, green beans and 25g noodles (dry weight) cooked and stir fried, with 2 tsp dark soy, 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce (1 syn) and half a tsp ginger. Banana...

Hi, I hate exersizing! So yes, I think they work. I have heard that people who are used to doing lots of exersize don't feel like they are getting enough of a workout from the Wii Fit - but there are extra games you can buy which give you a much better workout. I've got Wii fit and wii fit...

Thanks! I have seen other riser boards to be honest, but that seems one of the cheapest! Most I've seen are £20 plus. I will add you to the list x

OK I did half an hour on the Wii this morning. Its a start! I made those blueberry muffins in the magazine insert. Don't bother! I don't think I did anything wrong, and they rose etc. but they taste rubbish! :( What a shame! Today: Breakfast: 1 quorn sausage, 1 egg, mushrooms, 1 slice...

Oh just thought....have you had a CT scan before? They are OK, so don't worry about that either. I think they give you a drink beforehand which contains some special liquid (it tastes ok). They give you an injection in your arm as you go through the scanner. x

Firstly, just remember that one day soon you'll have settled into the new job and this stress will be in the past. hugs. I have a weird lump inside my liver and after investigation they said it was just something that can happen (genetic or something and apparently its quite common to have...

Well I had to make a start, so even though I had to force myself, I did half an hour! Hathor - 6 hours, 30 mins done Pigletville - 10 hours, 10 minutes done I did free step, which is a bit of a cop out. I find its too slow even if I put it at top speed, and I want a riser board to make it...

Oh thank you! that looks like a lovely recipe! xxx

:giggle: Thanks. I didn't mean how do I make the letters a different colour....I didn't explain very well did I? lol! I meant, what do the colours mean on your food diary? LIke some are blue some are red and I wonder if you code each meal a different colour or is it the superfree foods or...

Hi Pigletville, I started a new thread for September :) Hope thats OK. x

The Wii fit challenge August was great and really helped us all stay focused.:D Here is September's challenge thread. Just add your name and the number of hours you want to achieve on the Wii. Post other details if you want to about what Wii activities (or other exersize) you are managing...

Thank you :D

I don't know whats wrong with me!!! I feel guilty because I haven't done any exersize. Then I worry that I won't lose weight even if I stick to the plan. (??) Its like I feel OK *if* I stick to plan 100% and if I do exersize, but if I don't its like a little itch that I can't scratch. I...

I kid you not, they taste like real bhajis! The only other syn free bhaji I heard of was using potato and they don't sound nice (never tried them tbh). I posted these on a photo of slimming world curry a couple of pages back x

Wow thanks for that recipe!! I will try it. x

You are doing really well. Well done on the weight loss so far. I miss bagels too - I think you should give them to a friend, they'll only bug you. Maybe if you think its OK, give them to a friend but save yourself one of them and syn it up, just once. What about one bagel every two weeks...

Well done Capricorn! What a lovely husband. :D I'm probably being thick....how do you colour code your menus? x

AMAZING !!!!!! Well done! That is an amazing difference in the photos, you look fantastic. How tall are you? Would you please post the carbonara recipe? xx

Well done Pigletville! Well done everyone.

Apparently our Woman of the Year was done by people voting for the person they thought had contributed most in meetings, not the person who lost most weight. :)

Well done Emma Louise! I lost 1lb :) 10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose (5.5lbs lost) honey74 - 1.5lbs to lose (4.5lbs lost) RubyMoss - 1.5lbs to lose (6.5lb lost) hastalavegan - 2.5lbs to lose (5.5lb lost) MazzyStar - 6lbs to lose (2lbs lost) emma-louise - 0lbs to lose (8lbs lost) chickyb16...

I lost 1lb at this weeks weigh in (not surprised due to cakes etc. as mentioned before)... but guess what? I won "Woman of the Year" for my Slimming World group!! WOOOOOO!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I lost 1lb, which is great. I also got voted my groups "Woman of the Year" !!! (shocked!) :)

WOW!!! Congratulations! x

Mandy, both you and I are back on plan....lets look forward not back. Good luck for later xx

dreading weigh in....I may have gained....I made cakes in the week for my daughter's birthday and ended up eating some and licking out the bowls after baking. I have stuck to plan apart from that but I'm a bit scared. Let you know after.

I'm in!!! I want to get to 11 stones by the end of September...so thats 8lbs (depending what today's weigh in says eek) 10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose Donnap - 7lbs to lose Moo85 - 4lbs to lose honey74 - 5lbs to lose Chicaloca - 8lbs to lose mistysmummy - 8lbs to lose Jaxmummy - 14lbs to lose...

Wow some really good advice on this thread! I particularly like the hand cream idea, and the writing syns on the packets of things. I think its important to motivate yourself any way you can. I sometimes sit and imagine myself being thinner. I try and "feel" how I will feel when I am at...

Hi Donna, I love pickled too! I'm always eating them but I tend to put them on top of salads or toast etc. My next big goal is the 2 stones sticker, I hope yours is with you soon xxx

:sigh: Its easily done. I think if you've been on the plan for a short time, like us, then there is a fear of going back to how we used to be. Its almost like if I eat cakes once then I'm so scared that all of this success will go away :( Its weigh in today for me. I managed to hurt my...

WOO!!! Well done!!!

I've not hit target :( but I've been feeling ill this last three days. I will try and do a bit more before the month ends but I'm happy with what I've achieved. I have been walking and doing other exersize. Well done everyone! xxx

Had a very weird few days. Eating the cakes I made really threw me off kilter....I started skipping healthy foods to compensate. DOH! stupid thing to do. Back to eating normally today. Here is yesterday: Breakfast: slice toast with 1 laughing cow extra light on it, 1 banana. Made cakes...

Well done!!!! I don't blame you for sticking to *your* target either! Can you believe that some people have said to me that I don't need to lose more? I mean its obvious that I do! I think some people *sometimes* don't like other people losing weight. hmmmm Considering height, as long as...

Thank you! Well done for you too. I will check out your diary soon... :)

Yesterday: Breakfast: one toast (b) with laughing cow extra light (a) and tomatoes. 1 banana Lunch: spinach salad with mackerel and fat free cottage cheese Fairy cake 6 syns Alpen light Dinner: bolognese (made with half quorn and half beef mince, with courgettes added) with small amount...

He should definitely be posting more and motivating others! ;) The party went soooo well!! She looked so beautiful and she played with all her friends it was brilliant. They had a little bouncy castle and they all loved it. I was just so :D:D:D:D to see her with all her friends. I did...

Good luck xxx

Its cheaper for me. I'm a single mum at home with a 2 year old (have a boyfriend but he lives about an hours drive away). I am a full time university student studying psychology. I think I was making bad choices before - I definitely got pre-packed sandwiches quite often (at £2.50 a...

Wow great losses over such a short time x

oh, all our bodies are different! Thanks for your good wishes for the party. I'm quite nervous about it and of course I'll have to plan my food in advance today. I'm planning on eating one cupcake (a special smaller one with far less icing on it). I've been so busy I haven't picked out...

You are going for "boyfriend of the year" right? ;) I love you xxx

WOW!! congrats on 4lbs. The exersize definitely helped ;) x

erm...2.55lbs per week.

It all looks great anyway :). I went crazy today myself (cooking cakes for my daughter and obviously having to "try" them doh) so back on track for me straight away!

Breakfast: Fried mushrooms, 1 x egg, 1 slice wholemeal toast (b), 1 extra light laughing cow (a), milk in coffee (a) brown sauce (1 syn) *disaster*....making cakes for my daughters birthday party tomorrow and made vanilla ones first and once they were in the oven I licked the whole bowl clean...

Could both of those days be considered Extra Easy? so you don't have to syn your potatoes / chips? x

So.... You lost 47lbs so far. WOW! :eek: Thats amazing!! These few pounds are just a mental block that you've set up for yourself. Once you just get back to the routine (the exact same routine you had when losing all those pounds) then you'll soon shift them. You are entitled to have a...

I agree!!! What carrot cake?? ! ;)

do you have a food diary losingme? can you give us a link to it, or start a new thread with what you eat? Don't give up xxx

You can get there! You will. Just hang in there and keep going and it will come off. You've lost 27lbs thats amazing. That silly little half a pound will come off next weigh in. xxx

Food today: Breakfast: 1 slice wholemeal toast (heb) with 1 laughing cow extra light (part of heA) and pickled onions. Coffee with milk (heA) Lunch: Spinach salad with lots of chicken, peppers, onions, fat free cottage cheese, some sweet chilli dressing (1 syn), 1 egg Banana, Tangerine...

I'm really glad my comments helped. Keep up all the hard work everyone! It will pay off! :)

Well ahem....I'm not actually *in* Manchester... I live near Wigan, which is close enough. lol :) My boyfriend is just great isn't he? :D Can you tell I'm in a good mood? I lost 3lbs and got my 1.5stones sticker! wooo!!!

Woo! Due to having a "fishy" week I lost 3lbs! :D 10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose (3lbs lost) honey74 - 2lbs to lose (4lbs lost) RubyMoss - 3lbs to lose (5lb lost) hastalavegan - 2.5lbs to lose (5.5lb lost) MazzyStar - 6lbs to lose (2lbs lost) emma-louise - 2lbs to lose (6lbs lost) chickyb16...

Well done on the losses guys, I lost 3lbs! and picked up my 1.5 stones sticker yay. :D

I hope you don't mind me asking - how does it work? Do you only eat at certain times of day? Well done, that must be difficult. x

Well done Donna and Wrighty... Off to weigh in in about an hour. I haven't weighed on the home scale because I gave it to my boyfriend! Its been a very strange week not jumping onto that scale every five seconds!! I have weighed on the wii fit, but to be honest its all over the place with...

Not true. This formula proves it: When calories eaten are LESS than calories burned off = Weight Loss Therefore, we can lose weight by doing no excersize at all - provided we eat less calories than we burn off. So lets say an average woman burns off 2000 calories a day when she is just...

Yay!! Well done. :clap::happy036:

Its weigh in tomorrow and I feel really strange because I haven't been using my home scale. It feels like I lost my right arm!! haha I have felt better though, it was really starting to get me down. Every little fluctuation on the scale made me miserable and it never was the same as the SW...

Breakfast (I know these foods are free, but I'm slightly concerned about the effect it might have on my losses if I carry on having these types of breakfast) : 1 x egg, mushrooms fried in fry light, 1 slice wholemeal toast (heB) 1 laughing cow extra light (heA), 2 rashers bacon all fat removed...

Oh? How many syns is it? ;)

Just thinking if any of the others want to update they can add their details again? Maynie 8 hrs - 4 hrs 49 mins done Sammii - 20 hrs - 10 hrs 11 done Sarah83 10hrs - 1hr 17 done Hathor 8hrs - 5hrs 5mins done Pigletville 8hrs - 6hr 55mins done

Maynie, it looks like we've done similar times. I'm going to try and squeeze in another half hour today, maybe more if I can get on tonight when my little one is in bed. :)

rofl....totally forgot to list the icecream I had at the park! how many syns is one small icecream? Selective memory eh?!

Yes, just buy fish which doesn't have any sauces added or any little (unnoticed) medallions of butter in the pack. Frozen is fine. I use frozen prawns and just defrost them a few mins before using. Most fish is OK on EE, I think smoked mackerel is synned though, but ordinary mackerel (in brine...

WOW!!! Well done xxx

Just a thought - I use laughing cow cheese extra light triangles on my toast. You can have maybe 5 or 6 a day as a healthy extra A choice. So I don't have the full allowance of milk and just use 1 or maybe 2 LC extra lights a day. I don't eat cereal I just use milk in coffee. I'm always...

For breakfast I went crazy but it was yummy. Breakfast: fry up! all done with fry light. 1 x egg, 2 x quorn sausages, 2 x medallions of bacon all fat removed, 2 tablespoons baked beans, mushrooms fried, 1 slice wholemeal toast (half of HeB) with 1 laughing cow extra light on it (part of HeA)...

Thanks :)

Thanks. <blush> Glad it was useful. x

What I always think is amazing is that its *possible* to reach the destination! I spent sooooooo long thinking I'll never lose weight and thinking it was going to be a horrible struggle. As it turns out, it hasn't been so bad and I've enjoyed my food and feel much better. Take your pics so...

Thank you! I started the week after you I think and you've had amazing losses too! Take photos - you are beautiful in your picture I'm sure they'll be fine and they will give you a much better idea of the changes as you lose more weight. :) xx

Thought I'd post a picture of last weeks prawn curry. It was YUMMY. We made syn free onion bhajis! They were gorgeous! All you do is fry about 2 onions with some finely chopped mushrooms. Make a separate mixture of 50g of fat free nat yoghurt and 1 egg (mixed well) and put into this...

wooo leelea!! cool. Chloe, lovely pics of your food. I think I'll post some of mine onto my food diary, sometimes I'm proud of things I've made. :) Well done

Not that bad....you still only used 15. Use 10 tomorrow and you'll be ok x

Breakfast: Smoked Basa, 1.5 slimming world sausages, 1 egg scrambled, 1 slice toast (HeB) with 1 laughing cow extra light triangle on it (part of HeA), fruit to follow and coffee with milk (heA) Lunch: Salad with SW quiche, 1 egg, peppers, onions, 2 very small potatoes, sweet chilli dressing...

Hello Loki ;) (he's my boyfriend!):D

Cookery programmes make me hungry! :) I did another half hour Maynie 8 hrs - 4 hrs 11 mins done Fuzzy23 12hrs - 0 done Sammii - 20 hrs - 10 hrs 11 done Josheairng 6hrs - 0 done Sarah83 10hrs - 1hr 17 done RubyMoss - 6 hrs - 0 done Dizzydelly 8hrs - 0 done Hathor 8hrs - 4hrs 25mins done...

((((((((hugs))))))))) My advice is to get as busy as possible. Fill your day with plans. Make free foods in advance so they are to hand and you won't snack on fattening things. Also, be kind to yourself. x

Oh is it the tinned spaghetti which is free? doh! lol

Brilliant snacks on this menu. You did well on this day. In your dinner it doesn't look like 1/3 of the plate would be filled with mushrooms and spring onions. Could you have added a different vegetable? Try beans or tinned spaghetti on your toast. If you give me the nutritional info for...

Again, try and fit in more water. You want to convince your body that things are OK and it can use up the fat reserves and the only way to do that is to eat lots of superfree. Maybe add more fruit to the breakfast? Or have a normal breakfast but have lots of fruit snacks? Try and vary...

Hi, I will comment on a couple of your days hopefully it will help. As has been mentioned you need water!! Use a sugar free cordial and put a small amount in to make it taste nicer :) The breakfast in this menu wasn't enough really, if you want to just eat fruit for breakfast try and make...

farmer me, just post a diary of what you eat on here and I'm sure you'll get some feedback. 12lbs in 8 weeks is good weight loss too! other things which speed up my losses are drinking LOTS of water and replacing meat with fish. x

Posting a food diary would be really useful. list absolutely everything including drinks (squash, etc.). This way if there is anything at all that is obvious, we can tell you. Many people lose weight on extra easy - I do think its about keeping a strict count on superfree foods eaten (making...

Weight watchers seemed more difficult for me than slimming world. It is also possible to buy weight watchers branded cakes / desserts etc. and enter the nutritional info into the syns calculator and work out the syns. ;)

Breakfast: Smoked Basa (baked in oven), small slice slimming world quiche, mushrooms + fruit Ate a tiny bit of cake it was maybe 2 inches square, I think I will count 5 syns for it. Very busy and so I grabbed some fruit: banana, tangerine and apple, then later I had some sw quiche with some...

You are doing amazingly with your weight loss...as you get nearer target it will naturally slow down. I don't envy you with regard to Ramadan - I don't know how I'd cope with it! I'm pagan so all I have to avoid is the copious amount of beer at seasonal festivals (:p kidding really) x

Thanks :) I want to get to goal because it will put my BMI safely into "healthy" range. I think the pics where i am wearing black are more flattering than the reality! I'm realistically in a size 14 because NEXT are always really over sized. I'm aiming for a comfy 12. So when I reach...

Firstly, well done on your loss! its the start of a journey. :) Please don't be put off because of the first week. I've seen people lose half a pound in their first week and then lose lots after that! Your body also needs time to adjust. What plan are you following? (red, green or EE?)...

Well done Amy ! Well done everyone - just keep going and don't give up! x

Well done on your losses too! x

Here is another photo of me now....those jeans are size 14 (from next) and a bit baggy (can't believe it!)

I've posted some pictures to my food diary (before and during pics) just wondered if anyone wanted to comment? (link below in my sig) :)

I tend to do extra easy so I can't really help. Sounds like you did OK for green. Extra easy is good if you don't mind having only 1 heA and 1 heB. x

front view 11st 11lbs

August 2010 (11st 11lbs) ok I'm holding my arm up here but I still think it shows. :)

Decided to put some "before" and "during" pics on!! June 2010 (13st 3lbs) during coming up...

OMG I gave the scale to my boyfriend to take home with him and I felt like I'd lost my right arm this morning not being able to weigh!! I think its going to do me good though because it was becoming obsessional! Breakfast: 1 hot dog sausage (35cal, 2g fat - 1.5 syns), 1 slice toast (heB) with...

Keep going Jane! The weight will come off, maybe next week will show a bigger loss. Also do you have your food diary from the weeks when you lost a lot? Make sure you are eating the same and little things haven't crept in. I've definitely found that when I got used to the diet I would...

Hugs KMCXX Good luck everyone! I'm panicking! I hate my home scale. Lets home SW one is kinder. x

Great article and great site thanks !

Thanks for showing your diary. I sometimes feel like I can't eat certain things despite them being free on the diet! Your diary shows you do eat enough and you have had lots of success, so thats great. :)

Mine is at 1pm so I eat breakfast and a little snack (like a piece of fruit) mid morning, then I weigh in and immediately eat my lunch at the class (I have it prepacked ha ha....I always get people commenting on what I'm eating like "oh is that the syn free quiche?" lol) I also go for a wee...

Hi Lisa, On my food diary I have just recently commented on alcohol and how it makes you put weight on. The sugars in the alcohol are processed by the body first, so if you drink and eat a chinese, the body will store the fat from the chinese while its dealing with the alcohol sugar. If...

Breakfast: one rasher of bacon fat removed, 1 egg, 1 slice toast (half a B) with 1 laughing cow light (part of A) tomato sauce (1 syn) Lunch: Salad (spinach leaves, red peppers, onions) fat free cottage cheese, a small amount of pasta (previously cooked with veggies), 1 boiled egg, wafer thin...

Hi, I hope you don't mind me giving feedback? I noticed you eat a lot of sweet things and snacks which are synned. Like one day you ate 1/2 of the squidgy cake. I think this might be slowing you down. Can you limit sweet treats to every other day? I heard that syns are best used to make...
