I hated IT at first, we have quite a big group and it can go on a bit but I find it really does help keep me motivated. As I've made friends in the class I'm interested to find out how people are getting on. We do go around each person but everyone interacts and shares advice. I would suggest...

After a couple of weeks of staying the same I lost 2lbs this week :D Just 1.5lbs til I get my 1 1/2 stone shiney.

I've been a bit bad at updating this diary, life has kind of got in the way. Also I don't think I've lost any weight again this week. I weighed myself this morning and I exactly the same on my scales as I was last week. It doesn't count until I get weighed in class tonight but I'm worried :sigh...

I think the reason that Derbynanny would advise caution is that pasta n sauce are quite high in calories. Now I know on slimming world we don't talk about calories but it's still adviseable to be careful. Pasta n sauce are fine as part of your lunch or dinner (ie as part of a meal) but if you're...

Went to the Cinema today to see Toy Story 3, made sure I went home and had some tea first (otherwise I might have ended up in Burger King). I also managed to avoid the popcorn and so as not to feel too deprived I took a crunchie to eat during the film for 9.5 syns. Wednesday 17th August...

I'm up for the challenge too! I've been trying over the last few days and I've been doing okay. I've got my 500 ml bottle full of low cal squash and It's on my desk so that I can just keep sipping from it. I've had 1 litre so far today :) You do have to wee a lot more though :(

Thanks you for posting this excellent article, it has really inspired me to make sure I drink more! :D

Thanks for all the great info and advice. I have got myself a 500ml bottle and I'm going to try to drink 4 bottles of low cal squash or water a day. I did really mean fluids when I put water, i know it doesn't have to be just water. I've recently given up tea and coffee, so squash seems like...

I'm terrible at drinking. I don't know why it's just the way I am. For example I'm sitting here now at 12.55pm and I haven't had a drink yet today. Everyone says it's important to drink lots of water for weight loss but why is it? I'm going to really try this week to drink lots (by the way how...

Hi Sue I know just how you're feeling. I too have had a really good week, food optimised 100% and I've STS. I even stared keeping a food diary on here and thought that it was really helping. Feel pretty demotivated but I know that I've got to stick to it this week (rather than go off plan and...

Thanks Jane for the encouragement. Unfortuantely I STS this week and I'm pretty gutted. I feel like I've done everything right and I can't believe I didn't lose anything. I know that I just have to keep on going, this has happened before and I usually get a good weight lose the week after but...

I weighed in last night and STS for the 2nd week running and I'm totally gutted. Last week I was glad to stay the same as I'd be a little bit naughty but I've been on it 100% this week and have even started a food diary on here which I've found really helpful I can't believe I didn't lose...

It's WI tonight and I'm hoping I'll have lost 2lbs. I feel like I've been on it 100% this week and keeping this diary has really helped. So fingers crossed.... ;)

I put on 9lbs when I went to Thailand for 4 weeks:eek:. I didn't regret it as I had a great time but I felt a bit demotivated when I got back. Part of me didn't want to go back to group but I knew that if I procrastinated I would only put on more. so I went straight back to the plan and I've...

Skinny Cow Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Lollies are... absolutely lovely! Tried them for the first time last night and they are gorgeous, a really indulgent treat and only 4.5 syns. Does anyone know where you can get the Toffee and Honeycombe ones? I've tried my local Tesco and Asda but no luck.

Sunday turned out to be better than expected. Managed to find some superfree stuff lurking around the house (can't wait for my tesco delivery). Also tried the Skinny Cow triple chocolate ice cream lolly which was absolutely lovely, a real treat and only 4.5 syns!!! :eek: Sunday 15th August...

Good luck for your weigh in tonight, I bet you'll find that you've lost, especially if you stuck to the plan most of the time. Let us know how you do :)

Tesco do a fat free one. It's in the blue and white value range and actually says fat free on the lid. Here's a picture This one is definately syn free! :)

Managed to get back on track yesterday after my prune juice disaster. I did have to have an emergency mugshot in the afternoon but they're free. I think this week is going pretty well though the weekend is always the tough bit. Anyway yesterday I had... Thursday 12th August (extra easy)...

Yeah, you have to be careful with fruit juice and tinned/cooked fruit. I knew it would have a syn but not that much. Keeping a food diary will definately help you to lose more. It's easy to go over your syns without realising it. If you have any questions about extra easy I'd be happy to try and...

My dad turned out to be really supportive last night and cooked me a syn free dinner which was great. Unfortunately he then gave me a glass of prune juice which I drank without thinking, didn't really like and then when I looked it up later was 4 syns:eek:. I knew it woud have a syn value but...

Thanks everyone. I knew that my friend had got it wrong - I'll stick with fresh grapefruit for 0 syns :)

MugShots are great but they are not all free (though most are). You can find out the ones with syns here http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/137765-frequently-asked-syn-values-mugshots-mullerlight-find-here.html

I've always thought that all tinned fruit had a syn value but a friend has told me that tinned grapefruit in juice is free! :confused: Is this true? Are there any other tinned fruits that are free or very low syns?

I would love to go to Mexico :) Having a big holiday like that is great motivation and you'll feel so much better out there if you feel more comfortable with yourself, especially in the heat! You're right though I do need to find something new to motivate me, even if it's just something small.

Yesterday was another good day - keeping this diary really seems to be helping! Didn't have enough syns though, this wasn't deliberate -just the way it worked out. At my meeting they say it's important to eat all your syns, so I might have a few extra today. :) I'm going to my dad's for...

I started my food diary thread today but I've realised that I've put it in the wrong section. I've stuck it in the weight loss diaries and not the food diaries section. Can anyone help me move it to the right section. My thread can be found here...

Thanks for the encouragement Sarah. Thailand was amazing and I was really motivated before I went to lose weight. I lost 20.5 lbs before I went and then put 9lbs on whilst we were away :eek:. I don't regret not dieting on holiday because we had a fabulous time and a big part of that was eating...

I've been doing slimming world since the end of March and have lost 17lbs. I've just come back from a 4 week holiday in Thailand and I'm finding it hard to get motivated again. I'm hoping that keeping the diary will help. Monday 9th August (extra easy day) Breakfeast Weetabix (HXB) Semi-...
