Lost 1lb today which means I get my shiny half a stone sticker! Yey!

Paaahahaha! Well she's just a charmer, isn't she!

The scales don't have to be expensive to be accurate, I bought one from B&M once for £6, and they say the same weight as the scales at my SW meeting :)

I use the Tesco Low Calorie Sucralose-based sweetner too. There is another one which is aspartme-based but it kinda freaked me out because aspartme has had some bad press. Also, the sucralose-based one is best for baking apparently because it can withstand high temperatures.

Apparently I got big when I was about 5, and I just didn't stop! I went on a massive diet when I was 15 and managed to get down to a 14/16, and that's the smallest I've ever been.

Chocolate! Always chocolate! or icecream! I like to have either a little bag of maltesers or a mini magnum icecream :drool:

Well there's always this forum which is really good for information, but why don't you do it via the Body Optimise website?

I lost 2.5lbs today! I'm really surprised because I went a bit crazy with the apparently-free-but-not-actually-free Coucous muffins I baked last week!

Welcome and Good Luck!! :)

I like adding fizzy water to sugarfree Vimto. The normal sugar one is about 7 syns! Can't be doing with that now!

I'm the same! I have a mega sweet tooth and sometimes feel that 15 isn't enough to satisfy it. My Consultant says that women should have 12 a day and men should have 15, but I've got quite a lot of weight to lose and feel that if I went too low syn-wise, my body would probably think it's starving!

Welcome back, and Good Luck to ya!

Hello, welcome, and Good luck! The first week takes some getting used to, but it works!

Luckily I have mine in the morning, so I'll just have an Alpen bar. Then, the second I've weighed-in, I'll sit down, eat a second Alpen Bar and down a bottle of water because by that I'm time I'm so damn thirsty!

Sugarfree Vimto is delish, definatley helps me with my sweet cravings!

Lol, where do I start! I look forward to: 1. Being able to exit my car elegantly without: a. Getting my butt lodged between the seat and the steering wheel b. Getting my butt lodged between my car and the unfortunate car I park next to. 2. Having more choice in clothing. For...

Sun 19th Just couldn't feel full today (maybe because I woke up late and didn't have a proper breakfast). Also, I binged on a lot of couscous cake thoughout the day, which is made from completely free foods, but might not be free because it's baked :confused: Also, completely forgot about HEA...

Oooh, I like the money jar idea! These ideas are so much better than mine, I was just planning on treating myself to a new pair of jeans or summat!

I tried putting an alpen bar in the microwave (It wasn't the fudge one though, can't seem to find it) and had it with a couple of chocolate Mini Milks! T'was gooooood!

I know this may sound like a cliche, but what you've got to remember is this is supposed to be a lifestyle change, not a diet! There will be times when your friends will get pizza, there will be birthday parties with cake and alcohol! Aslong as you're not attending events like this every week...

Oooh, Good Luck! I'm pretty sure you can do it, just add more Super Speed foods to your meals, you'll drop that stone in no time!

I cook a SW version, but if I really want a proper one, I'll have one. Chicken Chow Mein is my favourite, and it's under 10 syns so that's good enough for me!

I personally have been doing fine with just the internet and magazines, but last week I decided to buy the Curry Heaven book. I haven't made anything from it yet though! I have however made a few recipes from recipe books I already had, just make sure you use free foods and substitute (or syn)...

Welcome! This forum is brilliant when you're lost about something! Good luck to ya!

Ideally I'd like to lose 2 stone by Christmas, but I'm not sure what my weightloss is going to be like on SW because I've only just joined! I think to be on the safe side I'll aim for a 21lb loss, and if it's more then I'm not complaining!

I can eat a relatively normal-sized meal and be satisfied, but the second I think about chocolate, I have to have some no matter how full I am! There's only so much willpower a person can have! Maybe try hypnotheraphy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), that could help!

Helllllo, and good luck with your weightloss! The Syns Value forum is quite good when you need to find the syn of something and the SW website is being slow. Also, check out the recipes forum because with a diet like this, variety is key!

Welcome, I'm newish too! Minimins is a great place to find infomation which isn't easy to find on the SW website. Good luck with your weightloss!

I never eat salad! I get my superfrees by cooking some breen beans, or adding lots of veg to the sauce if I'm making pasta (or beansprouts if I'm cooking noodles). Though they do say if you eat a little bit of a veg you don't like everyday, your body will get used to it and begin to enjoy it...

I once lost 3 stone in 6 months and I ended up getting horrific pains when I ate something fatty. It was in the centre of my stomach and not at the sides so they weren't sure what it was, but it was gallstones in the end. But whatever has happened to you, it's not the Slimming World diet that's...

Paaaahahaha!! I've been on plan for over a week, but no one mentioned the wind problem so I thought it must just be me! Nice to know I'm not the only stinker!

I always assumed it had something to do with my height. I also find that it's harder for people to guess my weight accurately, because apparently taller people "hold their weight well". I dunno, I just find I can lose or gain about a stone either way and not change a dress size (though...

Least you're dropping dress sizes lol! I've lost two stone and I'm only a one dress size smaller. I think it's because I'm tall or something :sigh:

Aww this is so cute, think I might give it a try. I want to lose a stone and a half by Christmas, think this'll go on my fridge!

Lost 3.5lbs this week! Was a little disheartened because newbies are supposed to lose a lot but I'm not exactly a beginner because I've been slimming for over a year. Just hope I can keep this up!

Heya Helen! I have PCOS, sciatica, and a dodgy gallbladder (I'm only in my 20s!), also my grandparents both had diabetes and I know I'm definately borderline. Health is my main reason for joining Slimming World, these are supposed to be the best years of my life and I've got ailments which...

I made the Chicken and Vegetable Curry, it was quite good (I made it twice), though not as good as your average takeaway!

Ooh, and I forgot to mention it's my weigh in tomorrow, kinda excited! Also, I might buy me a book so I can get more recipes. I'm new to all this cooking makarky!

Haha, yes I'm guilty of kinda leaving them out! I'll try to add more in the coming weeks when I've learnt how to cook more :)

I practically live off Alpen Light bars for breakfast, they're really nice! If I get hungry later then I'll have a Mullerlight yoghurt or some fruit to fill a gap. Also, if you're into full English breakfasts you could give yourself one of those, most of the ingredients are low-syn/syn-free!

Oops didn't mean to do this! How do I delete the thread??

I started Slimming World on the 08/09/2010, and was told to write out a food diary, so I thought I might as well do one on t'internet too! I'm following Extra Easy at the moment (to be honest, I don't think I'll change to either green or red in the near future!) I think I'll start from the...

Before I was going to the gym three times a week. But since I started Slimming World, I was worried I might lose too much muscle as I wasn't eating that much. I will start up eventually, just taking it slowly at the moment!

Oooh, looks like this is going to be my thread. My first weigh-in is on the 15th, kinda excited! But kinda worried too because I've been on a plateau since April!
