Just had this as my first shake on the diet... absolutely delicious!!!!!!!

I have only just started today, but I also have a large amount of weight to lose - about 12 stone. I don't know if I will lose the whole 12 stone on Slim Fast, but I want to give it a go to get started with my weight loss! Good luck! :)

As long as I get to less than 20 stone on my last weigh in before Christmas (21st), I am going to eat what I want and deal with the gain in the new year!!

Seafood Skewer Salmon, hake, prawn, bell pepper and onion skewer on basmati rice, topped with lemon cream sauce Without the sauce, this would be free or very low syn!

I'm going to make a syn free spaghetti bolognaise tonight! YUM. Can't wait.

I don't eat at all on weigh in day! Probably silly but I just can't bring myself to do it :(

I'm in!! I'll start tomorrow as well, but will just go until Tuesday night (my weigh in).

My new trousers for work which were way too tight about 3 weeks ago now fit me! Granted they are still tight, but they are done up properly and stuff whereas they wouldn't before :D Thank God for that as our new uniform launches on Monday!!

Extra Easy! Lunch: Diet coke chicken with SW potato wedges Dinner: Large chicken kebab with pitta (not sure on syns, can anyone help??) Snacks: Rice pudding (HexA + 5 syns), blueberries Syns total: ??? Really sucked with the superfree today! I had cooked a corn on the cob with my lunch but...

I would like to lose 23 pounds to put me under 20 stone for the first time in my adult life!

Omg is this really free?!

YUM. These sound soo tasty! I am going to make them on Saturday :)

Think it's from Asda! x

Half way through my third week and I'm still having this problem! Not very pleasant at all haha!! Hope it will stop soon but with the amount of fruit I eat, I am not so sure... x

Yeah I agree, and I really fancy one! Might get one on the way home from work tomorrow.. hm!

Yum, lamb shanks! I might get some of these for Sunday as they are on offer in Waitrose... 1/3 off!

Eek hope I am right now, I've not tried the nuggets so I can't compare. Don't take that for fact, you might want to still check... but most Quorn products are really low syn anyway :)

As long as you don't rely on the group for motivation then there's no reason you won't succeed going it alone! :) Just make sure you weigh in at the same time of day each week and you will be fine. I am sure with the support from the forum you will have no trouble :) You'll also save a fiver a...

I've been having great fun playing with this! haha I think I prefer using Photoshop though... bit more realistic and you can control where the weight comes off! :)

If they are the ones I am thinking of then they are half a syn each!! My mum is a veggie and loves them. Then again, I'm not veggie and I love them too! x

I'm thankful for... 1. My lovely younger brother & sister... they make me smile! 2. Having a great job that feels just like a second family. 3. Feeling like this time, with Slimming World, is "IT".

Oh I didn't know that, sorry!! In that case I would say it would be fine, but that's just my opinion :)

Cheese is from your HexA, not HexB so you can't split it that way... I am pretty sure anyway! So you've used both of your HexBs, providing you eat 2 of the alpen bars or 1 and a slice of bread from a 400g loaf. You could just have another 21g of cheese or half your HexA milk to drink?

Extra Easy! Brunch: Gammon steak Mild cheese & broccoli pasta n sauce (1/2 syn + HexA) Dinner: Steamed trout with boiled mange tout, baby corn & carrots Mango, grapes Snacks: 3 alpen light bars (HexB + 3.5 syns), Muller light yoghurt & 2 nectarines Syns total: 4

Wow, thanks for the replies everyone! Lonestitcher... your reply was fantastic, thanks you! So helpful :) really love the line in the sand idea, will definitely be doing that! Am definitely going to try to make Christmas as SW friendly as possible though! :) Not feeling quite so horrible about...

Thanks guys!!! :)

I am not sure yet! Meant to be doing the fishy week so I'll need to buy something. Fancy a lightly smoked salmon fillet, but not sure what to have with it!

losc2522... that's great advice, thank you! I will try to have a look at my recipes and alter them slightly. I guess the great thing about SW is that you can eat anything, it's just the amounts that have to change! Really intrigued about the SW Ferrero Rocher and gala pie... I love gala pie!! :)...

I've been overweight my whole and I am dreading Christmas this year. I normally bake stuff everyday before Christmas, I'll eat non-stop on Christmas day and right up until New Years Day! I don't know how I am going to change this, as Christmas is really important to me and my family and...

I know that in the book chicken kebabs have syns, but if I ordered a chicken kebab with salad and no pitta... would it be free? I can't work out if we're only synning the pitta or what!

But it also says that they are injected with fat, or the skin is treated with sugar which I can 100% say is NOT true for the Waitrose ones! Check out the other comment from a fellow Waitrose partner who also prepared the chickens... absolutely nothing added, they are just like a fresh roast...

Can't speak for all supermarkets but I work in Waitrose and sometimes deal with the rotisserie chickens and I know that there is NO fat added whatsoever, all the fat is removed from the inside of the bird and they are roasted on spits so all of the oil from cooking falls to the bottom (I've had...

This is definitely true for me! Though it's always the lower part where it hands around... my waist seems to show losses really quickly.

Well done :D

Extra Easy! Breakfast: 1 alpen light bar (1/2 HexB) Lunch: Jacket potato Prawns cocktail (1 syn for mayo) 28g cheddar (HexA) Dinner: Steamed sea bass fillet Potato salad made with prawns, egg and mayo (1 syn) Snacks: 1 alpen light (1/2 HexB) Muller light yoghurt Mango Syns total: 2

Hi Helen! :) I don't have a medical problem either but just wanted to say I think it's great that you've joined and are trying to lose the weight! I've found the forum really supportive so far and I'm sure everyone here can give you all the advice and help you need along the way! Good luck...

This is my third week on plan, and after a shaky second week (had to miss WI :() I've decided to have a fishy week so I can go back with a great loss! So far today I've had tuna on my jacket potato for lunch and had a salmon stir fry for dinner! Not sure what will be for lunch tomorrow as I am...

You can't overdo superfree! The more you have the better as far surely... I think the 1/3 is a minimum to make sure you are filling up on better foods.

Okay! So day one... Extra Easy! Breakfast: 2 alpen light bars (HexB) Muller light yoghurt Grapes Nectarine Lunch: Jacket potato Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo (1 syn) Dinner: Salmon fillet and veg stir fried in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar Muller light yoghurt Mango Snacks: 28g blue cheese...

Well providing you didn't have any other syns that day, you'd only need to drop your syns by 5 for the next 3 days to make up for it - so as long as you have 5-10 syns until Thursday you should be fine! Even if you did have syns, and even if you have your full 15 you will probably still lose...

Salmon stir fry made with balsamic vinegar & soy sauce!

Ooh! Cod baked in foil but with a fresh tomato salsa on top is delicious! You can use fresh or tinned tomatoes, add any veg you want, spread it all over the top and bake... YUM.

I love baking fish with an assortment of herbs, spices and veg! Prime cod loins are lovely baked in foil with some lemon, black pepper and parsley! Serve with syn free chips and you've got yummy, SW friendly fish and chips! Salmon goes wonderfully baked with lemon, pepper and dill! I'd have...

Hey everyone! :) I joined Slimming World 2 weeks ago, lost 7lb in my first week (being very relaxed and not at all diligent!) but have gotten lazy in my second week and been even more slack with the plan and think I have stayed the same or gained a pound! I have to miss weigh-in this week...

I'm 5'4.5 but my aim is around 9 stone! But to be honest, just being in the healthy weight range would be amazing for me!!!

I want to lose about 13 stone!! :( It does seem like an awful lot, but I am excited about the journey! Reaching short-term goals is a great feeling, and I really like the NSV (non-scale victory) thread! Maybe list all the things you have to look forward to along the way, rather than...

I tried syn free chips last week but they were awful! But I know where I went wrong... I cut them too thick, didn't spray them enough and didn't cook them for long enough!! Think I will try them again soon :D Might leave the skins on this time, yum!

I love Slimming World because it teaches healthier eating and cooking habits rather than limiting the amount of food you can eat! I also love it because the rules can be applied to any meal or occasion without too much stress!! Really intrigued by the syn free ice cream?! Please share!!!

As many of the others have said, I notice it on my waist and face first! My lower stomach area, bum and arms never seem to get any smaller!

I have the day after weigh in off the diet! I don't really find it hard to get back on to plan as I make sure I have a little bit of everything I fancy, and I tell myself during the week that I just have to wait a few more days before I can have whatever I'm craving. I think it helps, or you...

Gosh, I really hope not! I love those things... the chocolate and fudge ones are yummy!!

I love online food shopping, it's quite exciting haha :) Always do Tesco though for some reason.

I've lost a human's skin plus a guinea pig! haha.

It's just a different fish! They are really similar in terms of taste and appearance but they are definitely different. You can use them for the same things though, but Waitrose doesn't stock skate at all because there is no sustainable source currently :) same for swordfish!

Thank you everyone! It's amazing how Slimming World is so different from other diets! I always saw it as not quite as good as Weight Watchers and thought it wouldn't work but it actually teaches you healthier eating habits rather than just eating less to lose weight! Love it :D really hope to...

Haha! Thank you :)

Omg! I lost half a stone! Totally amazed. Thanks for all your replies xx

I think you look great! If you are unhappy with your body, as someone already said it is probably your shape you are not happy with rather than your size! Try doing some exercise to tone up - ToneItUp on Youtube have some excellent videos and loads of info!

Good luck with it! I felt great after joining, I've got my first week weigh in tomorrow!! :)

Thanks everyone! Still really nervous but I'll still go and hopefully will be surprised as you say! :)

I joined Slimming World last week and on the registration form it asked if you worked shifts, so I assume they have some kind of system for shift workers! Also, I would say I am probably the biggest or one of the biggest in my group and no one paid me any attention whatsoever. There was a...

Hi everyone :wave_cry: It's my first weigh in since joining tomorrow and I am really nervous! I don't feel like I have lost weight at all... I've felt so constantly full and I've eaten a lot of food. I've been over my syns a couple of days this week, but have been under other days and I am...

I work on the fish counter in Waitrose :) They are totally different to skate though.

I had gammon steak, syn free chips (first attempt, not that successful!!), mushrooms fried in Fry Light and plum tomatoes! Was absolutely lovely. Followed by raspberries, mango and a banana with fat free greek yoghurt!

I would like to join please! I'm new to SW and to the forum. I just joined on Tuesday night so the 1st Sept was my first day on the diet. I'd like to lose 10lb in Sept! :D
