Thanks Guys, I need to have a good think about what is stopping me from starting to do this in earnest:cry:

Hi, I'm a big size 16 and my aim is to get back into a specific pair of jeans which are a solid 14. I joined Body optimise in August last year and I just haven't been following it properly. When I have I have lost weight (about half a stone that I have probably put back on but I'm scared to...

Thanks guys, yes to syns, following plan (used online diary a lot), always weigh in underwear although usually use Wii, which I understand isn't the best tool but is as good as anything else given I don't go to classes. I've got a couple of stone to lose, current BMI 26.20. In case there was...

Hi There I'm not used to using these boards for motivation but I'm really frustrated at the moment. I tend to drink more than I should. I've been bimbling along following the diet-ish but conveniently ignoring the points booze would add to my day. I've lost about half a stone in a few...

Hi Guys If you've seen this recipe in the latest magazine.. I tried it yesterday. Now I'm not a great cook but I am really trying to improve. With this one I substituted the Artificial sweetner with a little bit of honey but I don't think that is the problem. It looked like it had been very...

I logged on specifically to post about the same thing... I chanced it that I would be able to get a jacket potato from the canteen but because it's quite limited ended up with a sandwich that has now cost me 27 points!!!! I usually make up a salad to bring in, including meat and/or egg and...

I joined Body Optimise at the beginning of August and I haven't had any offers or messages about extending....:sigh:

Hi HayleyBerryBenj Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I'm not so much an overeater as lazy. A Couple of drinks would never just be a "couple of drinks" and the take-away menu suddenly becomes a lot more appealing. I've only been on SW for 3 weeks and I seem to lose at the same...

I'm only on week 2 as well and I know what you mean! I've lost between 3-4 pound so I don't really expect to see a huge difference but emotionally I could do with a bit of a boost. Hang in there!!:vibes:

This is such a great thread!!! I've only been on SW for a couple of weeks so no change in clothes size or anything (long way off that) but I've been working on getting fitter as well. We have an exercise bike and I've been doing a 15km programme every few days for a few weeks now. To start...

They do don't they. I'm on an Extra Easy day and trying to feel like I'm eating a bit more normally so I'm making SW cod in breadcrumbs with Free tartare sauce and chips (well Roasted Butternut Squash but still lovely) I was very happy to find out I could have mushy peas with it all as well.

Wow, looks like you are doing really well. I like the online searchesand fitness stuff but I found the website a little confusing to begin with. I understand SW pushing the 'new' Extra Easy but I think I would have found it easier if they started with the basics. I think it would be easy...

I couldn't agree more on the name. We call them points or extras as Syns gives completely the wrong signal. I'm not consciously trying to keep them low but I do like healthy food and am perfectly happy on Superfree and Free foods. I get so full on those it feels wrong to eat anything else...

Hi there I registered on Body Optimise a couple of weeks ago (Slimming world online where you don't go to meetings) I've read that in the classes the consultant will help you work out the best target between the 5 - 15 Syns per day. I don't hav the benefit of that. Does it really happen...

Thanks guys. I've had my healthy extras for today but now I'm looking back and regreting the Ryvita when I could have had bacon!!! Thanks Soccermom, the book uses 35ml servings so I thought it would be better to assume that and come in under on my points...

I'm on day 3 and I have to admit, I've been kinda struggling to use all my Syns (not a huge fan of the name either) I genuinely enjoy healthy food so this diet seemed too good to be true, but now I get it.... my first cravings!!! I'm on my first green day and I am craving meat!!! I've...

Hi I can't find avacado anywhere on the lists.... Can anyone advise? I know it's quite high in fat so I expected it to be on the syns list but can't find it

Thanks Stormwind! Looks like you've had a VERY successful couple of months!!

Thanks for this. You've answered all the questions I had left after wading through the BodyOptimise website for several hours!!!!

Hi there, I joined Slimming world online yesterday so I won't be going to groups. I was hoping you guys wouldn't mind if I used this forum for support instead!!!

Hi there everyone. I joined the online Slimming World yesterday and I'm starting it in earnest today. I'm trying to plan my week with a combination of Original and Easy days to start with. The thing that concerns me is that I've only tried one diet in the past and the first time I ate...
