I didn't think of that, it actually may be a good idea too because now I have decided I want to join I didn't want to wait till 5th September. Thanks for that!

I have just found out that a new class is opening near me on 5th september so I just went on the website to look and it says if you join before 27/08/11 you pay half price joining. I just wondered if anyone helps at a class and if you know if there tend to be offers on most of the time or will...

mmmm, sounds nice. I'm not sure I'd be very good around that then, a bit like buffet food, if I'm left to pick at things I tend to eat more than if it was a set portion. Thanks very much for that, at least I have an idea about it now, and can make a decision as to whether to go or not. Thanks...

I have been asked to come out to a Tapas bar, and I'm not even sure if I will go yet, but I don't really know what Tapas even is :o I was always of the impression that it was small nibble type things that you just nibbled on while having drinks, but the invitation made it sound like going out...

Hiya, welcome back Christie! Bet you can't wait to get started now you have made the decision. I have been thinking over the weekend too, I keep bouncing around trying different "diets" but i too agree that SW is just so much easier without so much weighing and you tend to eat so much healthier...

Hi, I have just been having a look around on here for some ideas myself, there are so many great ideas on the food diary threads, I've just been drooling over some of the ones with pictures. There is also a really good thread on the recipes subforum, called something like "post your pics for...

I'd like to join in too please. I have more to lose but will set a target of 30lb for Christmas. Devon_Dumpling (30lbs to lose, 0lbs lost) Hannah27 (30lbs to loose, 0 pounds lost) Hoping (50lbs to lose, 0lbs lost) ~*~louisa~*~ (45lb to loose, 0 lb lost) MissChocChip (30lb to lose, 0lb lost)...

Wow, well done, thats great! Congratulations! x

I saw this. That personal trainer was one of the most vile people ever. He was getting results by bullying the poor woman, and you lot are right, he wouldn't have had the time of day for her after the filming and there is no way she could keep that up. I agree that although the excessive...

Hello and welcome to minimins! Please don't feel bad, I think sometimes when you see others losing big amounts in their first week it can feel like you haven't done well. When I first started SW 10 years ago, I lost 2lb in my first week and then went on to lose 4.5 stones in 10 months! 2lb is a...

Yes any brand! I love SW chips with mushy peas. I usually buy them in a bag frozen as the frozen ones seem to taste more like chippy mushy peas to me! yum

Thats so lovely. You hear so many things these days where people are complaining about in laws for one reason or another so its nice to read this, you are so lucky, they obviously think very highly of you!

Oooops sorry, just noticed there is a very similar thread further down, that'll teach me to read everything first!

Hiya We are planning on going to a theme park this week, probobly Drayton Manor as my son would like the Thomas land there. I'm a bit worried as I'm the heaviest I have been and I don't want to queue up for rides and then not fit in. I know last time a couple of years ago I went on a ride and...

I hate that! I really love kippers but I can't stand picking the bones out, and I can't eat them, although I enjoy the taste, I find that I cringe with every mouthful, as I'm expecting to get a bone!

Me too, I think I'd eat it all if I made it! I'd cut a small bit, but then just keep going back till it was gone:D Its a good idea having one of each, I sometimes find sweet cereal makes me a bit sick, it would be nice to have one of each!

oh no, I think it was in the syns section maybe. I did wonder at the time though that more people would see it here. I don't often go in the syns bit. I bet some more people will see it here who didn't know about it!

I think there is something added, I had one and it is realllllly yum, even on its own. I have tried the total 0% and thats definatly not as yummy on its own, but maybe you could add sweetner.

I read about these in another post yesterday and I'd been shopping the night before, and didn't see them! Gutted! I can't wait to try them, I like the mini ones, but 2 full sized ones is better and I don't mind using 2 syns if they are nice!

Happy Birthday! I would go to WI, that way you know exactly where you are according to their scales, and can start again from there. Its difficult to deal with just one of those celebrations and stick to syns, so with all of them one after another, I wouldn't think anyone at your group would...

Exactly, its wierd isn't it. Surely even tinned toms are classed as processed and they are free. And I bet a lot of free things like batchelors savory rice and muller lights would come up as syns if you put the info in the calc!?? I suppose you could try the syns hotline but, I think its expensive.

I have the latest food directory, I can't find it in there but there is a section called "smart syns" and at the front of the book it says the "smart syns" section contains products which contain enough free food to be given a free food allowance, and lots of the products in this section are...

Its about time they revamped the website. It isn't even updated very often.

When I first ever joined SW 10 years ago, I did this right from the start. I can't remember if my consultant advised it, but I remember if I was on a green day and I really fancied something that would be better on red, I would just think to myself, never mind, I'll have it tomorrow, and that...

Hiya Sal, I have just restarted SW myself too, I have a big appetite and thats one thing not many other diets are good for. I'm sure once you hear more about EE at your class you'll find it seems to be a lot more like "normal eating". When I first did SW it ws just red and green and although I...

I'm starting SW. I have decided that if I am being realistic, because I know I have a big appetite and eat healthier, it will be the best plan for me. Also there are loads of things I really enjoy on SW, like SW chips, beans and egg, and its great not having to weigh it all first!;)

Ok, Thanks. I suppose its more up to date info here then! I do find I get much more out of coming on here than on the SW website anyway. Thank you everyone.

You sound just like me, I start WW because I miss having so many treats and being able to use points on anything, but then I miss SW as I have a big appetite and am often hungry when I do WW. Whichever one I start first , after a week or so I convince myself the other diet is better. Of course...

Hi, I've just joined here as I'm starting SW again, I lost the weight with SW a few years back and have gradually gained again. I'm doing it at home for now and hoping coming on here will be enough to keep me on track. Good luck!

Hi Does anyone know if the Slimming World website is often not updated. I read a thread on here a few days ago saying that the Asda Wholemeal pitta bread is no longer a healthy extra B choice as the manufacturer changed. But when I just checked the Slimming World website, its still listed as a B...

Thanks all for the lovely welcome.

We have a butcher at the market who has slimming world approved sausages and burgers, I've only tried a couple of the varieties of sausages up to now but they are really nice, much better than the low fat supermarket ones. Its a shame there aren't more of them about who do this, I would try Joes...

Hello, I'm starting Slimming World next week. I have followed the plan before but haven't had much success at any diet for a while now as I just seemed to lack the will power to follow anything 100% I feel like I need to start afresh now and Slimming world seems to be the plan that fits best for...

Hi, I'm doing the Slimming World diet. I have only just started and have joined here as everyone seems so friendly and heplful, and I need lots of motivation and advice to help me on my way.
