    Weekly weight loss target

    My C was a bit like that but soon stopped asking me, as every week I said as long as I have maintained and not gained I would be happy. She of course would push me for more so I would say OK 1lb she would then say can't you do more than that which I replied, anywhere between 1/2 lb and 2lb is a...

    does scan bran work?

    In answer to ''does anyone actually like it then'' My advise would be to remove the Scan bran from the packet, throw it in the bin and eat the packet, I'm sure it would taste better and have less syn's ! :D

    Extra Easy The mince mine field

    I always boil the mince in water first and then drain all the fat off, I then turn it into whatever I want and quite often split the boiled mince into 2 pans and make either a chilli from the sw website and a Sheppard's pie with mashed Swede to replace the potatoes. I also add diced carrot...

    I survived my first Body Pump class (just)

    Went to my first Body pump class at the gym on Saturday and OMG, I loved it... that is until I woke up yesterday morning. I hurt BAD !! My body was awake but my muscles just didn't want to work, so much so that I had to almost roll out of bed onto the floor and then use the bed to pull myself up...

    How do you become slimmer of the week?

    I have a slightly different problem, I have won SOTW 5 times in 11 weeks and SOTM once. It is becoming a bit embarrassing winning SOTW as I am the largest person there so I expect to lose the most. Surely it would be fairer to give it to the person who has lost the most in comparison to there...

    Not using syns...

    I think syn use depends on the person and how you personally what to use them, The reason for them is so you don't feel deprived of your favourite food or drink so you stick to the long term goal of the diet and don't give up because you can't have this or that. I vary my syn's quite a lot and...

    How do you stay on plan?

    Thanks for the replies so far, I have just been speaking to someone at work who said, maybe if you didn't cheat you wouldn't be doing the diet still? Thinking about it, that's probably correct and the reason for the syns allowance. Maybe I need to eat less syns when I'm at 100% and save them for...

    Which cheese..

    If you get a tub of quark and mix in your daily allowence of Stilton and then leave for a couple of hours, You get a whole tub of Stilton spread as if by magic. It's lovely as a dip or a spread and maybe it could be used in the soup?
