I'm getting married in about 16 months and want to lose some more weight. Slimming World is great and easy to follow and there is lots of support but the hard bit is the gym. You MUST do this bit it helps loads and even if you have a naughty day eating if you go to the gym you should be able to...

I went on a Stag weekend this weekend and had promised myself just to enjoy the weekend and forget about SW until today. But I just couldn't resist having a look at how many points I had ( the ones I can remember anyway) Well I'm absolutely shocked and stunned at the Grand total of 238 Syns and...

You maybe right but last year when I done it I did the same except stayed on red days 100%. I also know that its quite a lot but I don't eat all my syns as think 5 may cover the amount. I alos eat it over the course of the day. Have some on my fruit for breakfast then when I get a sweet craving...

Each and everyone of us on here is different, but we are all here for the same reason, to lose weight, Everyone has a different reason for being here, Mine is when my 5 year old daughter came over to me and said '' Daddy look at these pictures I have taken with my new camera'' As I was looking...

Onken fat free Yoghurts strawberry or vanilla, They take my sweet craving away and taste great, (Have one large tub every day)

I got weighed for the 2nd time last night and I was fuming when I had lost just 1lb.. Yes it's a loss but I was 100% on plan the whole week, no slip up's anywhere. I even added everything to the online diary BEFORE I ate it so I knew I was 100% on plan. It's one of 2 things that I think may of...

I beat my cravings with a large wooden stick until they are battered black and blue and defeated, Failing that I have a cup of Options or even a sweet Onken fat free Yoghurt.

Not sure if I'm allowed to answer, as not being a lady (few men here you know) But every £ I lose I put £5 in the photo Jar. I HATE all the photos of me but when I get to target I want to get a family portrait done of me, my better half and the 3 kids..

Happy Birthday.... SW isn't just about losing weight it's about changing your eating habits for life. Four months ago you would of probably eaten that and thought nothing of it, but now you do think about, worry about it etc, means your changing your view of food which is great and I would say...

''Your losses won't be as good if you don't have them'' Can anyone explain this as I don't think its correct? I thought they where there so you could still have the odd treat here and there and by doing so you are more likely to stick to plan. So by eating them you won't actually lose more than...

You won't win a marathon by sprinting the first mile !! if you are cautious and patient then you will get what you want and not make any mistakes. but if you are hasty and impatient then you will make a mistake and you will never reach your goal

''Not having a plan is a plan to fail'' That's what my grandfather used to tell be as a children and I still live by it now.

But on red days you can't eat for example, as much pasta as you want along with other things. I do red days nearly all the time as if I did EE I think I would cheat as it's not restrictive enough for me personally. I also like having 2 healthy extra's of A and B. You need to find the plan that...

First weigh in last night and a 7lb lose. Can't quite believe I lost all that in one week. I love Slimming World !! Long journey ahead but this is soooo worth it !

Congratulations Britmum. That's got to be the luckiest baby in the world, growing up eating your fab meals, What more could one ask for ? ( I do hope you will still have time to create more great recipes though ! )

I did SW last year and done really well and lost just over 3 stone, But due to an illness and then moving house I gave up and have since put on I would guess 2 stone after falling back into my bad ways, Thinking about it, it was even worse than my old ways. It was my 42 birthday yesterday...

I have removed the original post

The first time reality struck was when my little daughter took a photo of me without me knowing and when I saw it I was horrified, I stood open mouthed and just kept thinking, that can't be me, it really can't. That was the moment I decided to do something about the mess I had become and to turn...

Seems to be working ok again now

I read stories on here about ''wind'' problems before I joined SW, but I didn't imagine that when I joined, the following week a wind farm with 5 wind turbines was built not 3 miles from my house. Was this because we had reached the prime number of Slimming world members within a 5 mile radius...

Not going to say much in case my other half looks and I get an ear bashing , but WOW WOW WOW,:D You look amazing and so happy Good luck on your ''return journey'' Take care Ian

I left out the sugar and it was fab, the smell was fantastic and the taste even better !! TOP RECIPE !!!!!:D

Well done you and dont you look different now.. I bet its all been worth it now. Take Care Ian

Mines in the oven to and the smell is amazing I now this is going to taste great !

You can replace butter with apple sauce dont ask how this works but it does.

Agree 100% with Jaylou, everyone can cook something,It's only as complicated as you make it and there are some fab recipes on here

A photo is the reason why I started slimming world, I looked at it with an open mouth as I couldn't believe what I was looking at. The good news is I now use that photo for inspiration and will NEVER visit that dark place again. Your have done fantastic losing what you have and you need to use...

Unless it is a pre booked holiday you should of paid, and you can have 6 weeks holiday per year, is my understanding.

The Harris Benedict equation doesn't go against this, as this is the formula used to calculate the calories you require to maintain the weight you are currently at and also the amount to increase or in our case decrease it. I would guess SW use this but also take other factors into account...

As for the cheese side of things I saw a recipe for a cheese dip/spread Tub or quark 28g stilton mix both together and leave in fridge overnight Use as either a low fat spread or dip carrot sticks etc in for your cheese fix

It is all horrid, not sure how something can taste bland, horrid and flavourless all at the same time. When I have used the mince I found I had to heavily flavour it but it acts like a flavour odorant and kills any flavour in comes into contact with. It must have a purpose in life but I think...

Each week except for one, I felt I had gained weight, not sure why and in fact I have only gained once 1/2lb while on holiday. My weigh in is tonight and even though i have been good I still feel I have gained.

Wish I was at the stage where I was worried about that question, :( You heard the saying, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it? Well in my case the bridge is still being built !

Go for it, without a doubt and what's wrong having a male consultant? When I joined I was nervous being the only man there and walked into a room full of women, That was scary and took some courage believe me. I soon found out though that we are all there for the same thing and that is to lose...

Its a great little place and the most amazing value for money. I would pay loads just for the bread rolls ( If I wasn't on a diet ! :( )

can you post the recipe that you used?

if you use oxo they are free.

i made these at the weekend and they where nice but need a topping I felt. Maybe blackberries ( lots near me ) cooked down with some gelatine to set it ?

Yes it would, How did you guess that?

My other half took me out on Saturday night to a Turkish restaurant and when I ordered, I thought I was being very good, mixed grilled meat with salad. Before it arrived though the waiter turned up with a basket overflowing with freshly baked hot bread rolls . The smell was fantastic, (is there...

If you have a microwave at work you can do scambled eggs in it, otherwise I have fresh fruit cut up with vanilla yogurt (fat free one so no syns)

If i fancy something sweet, before I reach for something that I have to syn I have some Onken fat free vanilla or Strawberry yoghurt. It's sweet enough to satisfy my taste buds and no syn's. It's much nicer than Muller yoghurt and I always have one open in the fridge just in case.

Thanks, Hope this turns out better;)

what size was the flan dish, do you know?

I have found a few recipes for syn free lemon meringue and made one today, the meringue looked good but under that looked like scrambled egg, I tasted it and it was ok but I couldn’t serve it to anyone else ! Do any of you have the perfect recipe as i want to make this ?

good for you. Hope you enjoy it and start to lose soon

That is a super weight loss, you must be so proud of yourself. It's hearing story's like this that drive others like me on. Keep up the good work and never let it come back !

Blimey I thought you had developed a rash with that title ! :D

''Like anything group related, you get out what you put in'' Well said !:)

good luck and let us know the lose;)

Not going to add much as some great advice here but well done for not smoking, I stopped in Jan and know how hard it is but stick at it and you will beat it and have a life back

Lol not sure that plan would work all the time but well done you

Stick to it and results will happen, I lost a 1lb this week which i was disappointed with but in the last 3 weeks have lost 1/2 stone. It soon changes and adds up

I agree with Chicaloca 100%. I hated it for the first few weeks but must admit I do see the benefit of staying now. Wouldn't say I enjoy it but I do enjoy seeing the scales move down and that is why I will keep going.

Welcome and well done on the 2lb lose

Yes without a doubt, Without the support I would soon fail and no way am I returning the old me !

Can't fault my consultant, Denise, or her helpers who I think are often forgotten about but are very valuable to us members and also to SW, The help and support I get is good but feel its sometimes the members who spoil it for others. We have members who have been going for 6 weeks plus and...

Do not agree with these one bit unless you are low income and dont drink or smoke. Why should some pay and some not?

so can you just go to your doctors and ask or is there a set criteria to meet?

Not all of us are girls you know :flirt2: And cant wait for the updates..... Regards Ian

vouchers??

Not that he's right but that his comment was used by you to drive you on to succeed in your goal We have all suffered by words at somepoint but its how we deal with them that matters.

Its about taking this comment and turning it into a positive. Use it it drive you on and succeed. Use it to teach him a lesson. Use it to give you determination. Use it as anything but a negative Think about these comments and think about what you would like to say in the future (Is there...

Emma Please tell me that lot was at seperate sittings and not all on the same plate ? ;)

Her chilli and coriander meatballs are fab and her site is way better than any cook books I have

Mine would be a meal at my local Indian with Shami Kebab for starters then a Chicken Tikka Masala with mushroom rice and a couple of bottles of beer. Wow how many syn's would that be ? Know you can cook currys at home but they are never the same......

or are you being selfish for not going to a '' normal'' restaurant and having the poached fish, grilled chicken, 3 types of salad, grilled steak etc ? I just dont see it being a profit making business. Of course everyone on here would go to it, if we all lived in the same place but we dont...

I have a butcher just down the road that does approved SW sausages and burgers both are free ( I think) And they taste great

As an idea I think its a good one but in reality I dont think it will work. 6 people go out for dinner and only one is on SW so why would the other 5 want to go there as opposed to there favourite restaurant next door? A restaurant that puts syn's, points etc next to everything on a normal menu...

I fell off the tracks on Saturday after going to a wedding. I ate some quiche from the buffet and could not believe it was so high in syns when I looked it up. It realy shocked me and made me so upset with myself after being so good all week, but i think its good now and again as it pulls you...

Just make sure you don't find him again !

If no one posts the recipe I will experiment over the weekend and if I'm still alive I will post the recipe with quantities, unless we have another volunteer ? Thanks Ian

Someone told you you can make a drink that tastes just like Pimms from lemonade and Balsmic Vinegar. Does anyone know if this is true and if so do you have the recipe ? Thanks Ian

annoying isn't it

I love my Red days but think us men eat way more meat than women in general. Red days seem to be working for me. Thing thing I find is that I can cook a nice roast joint of Beef and then have it cold the next couple of days with salad or a small jacket potatoe so that makes life easier. I am...

I'm having fresh fruit which I cut up last night dipped in Onken fat free Vanilla yoghurt... Yummy

@ YAMYAM Pink wee :giggle:

Indian Biryani on free on EE Mixed grill and salad on free Red Chicken Tikka avoid Naan bread but popadoms can be syn'd Nando's Any chicken without skin Prezzos Avoid cream / cheese sauce's have tomatoe based sauce like arribata

Marvel is a milk powder, Most supermarkets have it.

No sure but sounds lovely can you post the recipe ?

Agree with a most of the other post's and would also say that eating healthy food doesn't have to cost more. To many of us rely on supermarkets, I drive to work everyday and everyday for the last year drove past a farm shop without ever stopping. One Sunday we pasted it and decided to stop and...

Hi,I live just down the road from Emma and agree with her but there are a couple of campsites close by http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/townlisting.asp?town=Alfreton No idea what they are like. Not sure when you are going but it is throwing it down with rain at the moment and the thought of...

I stopped in January this year and put on 2 stone, I started SW about 7 weeks ago and have lost just over a stone now. I knew I was going to gain weight but didn't think I was strong enough to do both at the same time so gave up the cig's first and now that's cracked I'm fighting the flab. A...

well done, it's people like you, that drive people like us on to achieve our goals . Bet your still smiling !!

I thought the same as you and at my first class I walked through the door to the sight 16 women and no other men !! I thought about turning around and running away but before I knew it I was a fully signed up member. The ladies are all nice and I'm only scared of two of them now so its...

Don't let things like that get to you, Instead use things like that to drive you on to your goal. It's a shame things like this happen (and are let to happen) You have sex, race, ethnic, cultural, colour discrimination laws but if you above a certain size your free game ! Words can hurt...

Being the only male in my class I found the first meeting a bit intimidating and I agree that there are some people there who think a fresh meal is chilled packet meal rather than a frozen one ! But you get out of the meeting what you put into it and also how you think about what is being said...

It's about time a male joined this so count me in ladies. ( If I'm allowed? ) I would like to lose 42 lb's by Christmas or does 3 stone sound better? Not sure which ... I'm quite new to this and am on week 3. I lost 7lb the first week and then 2lb then I had a holiday and gained 1/2 lb...

I find salads get a bit boring so add chilli sauce or sliced chilli or sliced radish, Something to add flavour. Must admit I often have a bowl of cut up fruit for lunch with Onken fat free yogurt ( strawberry or Vanilla) and just dip the fruit in. They are lovely.......

it will hurt like hell and you will think, why did I do this? But afterwards you will realise what you did and say to yourself ,Do you know what I just did? I can do it !!!! Keep going, try other classes and find the one that you enjoy the most

You may be better off looking at wikivorce.co.uk they are a support group with lots of people going through the same as you. It helps a lot as I have used it myself. Hope everything works out for you Take care
