Lost a teeny, tiny 1/4lb but happy with that - have not been trying too hard last week cos lots of socialising. Doing a fish week and going to the gym lots this week though, cos I've just realised how few weeks are left until Christmas, eek :eek: I've just signed up for Gold body magic...

I'm having Iceland's Salmon and Prawn in a Seafood Sauce which is just 2.5 syns on original and EE. I'm having it with steamed veg - working late tonight so won't have time to do anything that won't go in a microwave before I transform into 'mum taxis' for Brownies and Scouts :rolleyes:

Wow, that sounds AMAZING. I am going to be cooking that one VERY soon :) Thanks for posting it and reminding me how much I love cheese and potato pie

Wow, well done to all you big losers (Missy and Mutts, you must be thrilled!!!!) I stayed the same this week but am fine with that, have been off with the kids for half term, have had ANOTHER redundancy party at work before my annual leave, plus two Halloween parties this weekend. I have had...

What is Chicken Sofrito? It sounds lovely! I am off work today so have time to make lovely slimming world quorn moussaka, yum! I can't even believe I'm allowed to eat it while losing weight.

Aw, you should not be ashamed of half a pound! You are doing really well, you will get there. And think how fab you will feel when you get that stone sticker! Make sure you post when you do so we can all cheer you on :)

So do you have fish for lunch and dinner every day and just follow your SW plan as usual with the same syns allowance and HEs and everything? I like the idea of a fish week, and my husband is a veggie who eats fish so it will be easy for family meals too

Lost 1/2lb this week but am thrilled because last week was a bad one for me, all the stress at work combined with an office full of cakes and lots of wine! Back on plan this week - despite the kids being on half term which can play havoc with my good intentions. Note to self - keep off the...

Hi all - late logging on this week, but lost 1.5lb so am happy - didn't really deserve to either as drank far too much wine last week plus a pizza express - the result of leaving do's. Three people took redundancy at my place this week too, so big meal out at (groan!!!) JD Wetherspoons :mad...

Well done to everyone who lost this week. I put on half a pound this week but I also thoroughly deserved it and was just happy it wasn't more. :break_diet: We are going through a round of compulsory redundancies at work and there are all the leaving do's to attend ! I have to eat out at least...

Just found this thread - have to go to Pizza Express for a leaving do on Wednesday, this has saved my life, am going for the Nicoise salad, no dough sticks, yay!!!

Have you given a thought to the time of the month?? I can gain a few pound in water retention weight when I am due a period, which goes as soon as it starts :sigh: You seem to have a fab attitude though, I would have been very tempted to cave in to the consolation wine, so well done on...

Hi Trijan - I just make it simple like this - if I am happy to have one HexA and one HexB (ie one milk or cheese allowance and one bread / cereal allowance) then I'm on extra easy all day and can eat whatever free foods I like and just count syns. However, if I feel like 2 portions of either...

Thanks ladies for all your posts. I ended up with Salter ones from Argos cos they were recommended by my friend at work (who has lost about 4 stone calorie counting with her doctor - admire her willpower though, she sticks to 1600 calories a day!) I weigh 3lb less on these than on the gym...

PS Rachie, well done on not raiding the fridge after wine - more than 2 glasses of red and I'm craving crisp and mayonnaise sandwiches :eek: so I really need to stay off it!

Lost 5lb this week according to my brand new scales, which gets me a half stone award! Yay! But tbh I think my scales are just different to the gym ones, which I think make you look heavier. I was put off the gym ones last week after I appeared to GAIN 2lb in the mere 45 mins I spent in a Body...

Hello, can I join you all? Am fed up this week because I stayed the same despite not going over my syns limit for the week. Maybe I need less syns?? (I had about 95 over the 7 days, most of them due to a meal out on Wednesday night at a friend's house.) Still, a new week ahead... just trying...

Thanks Jaylou xxx

Can anyone recommend a RELIABLE set of scales that I can buy? My scales at home are rubbish - plus the display is so tiny I can't read it when I'm stood up, have to get the kids to tell me the numbers! At the moment I weigh in at my gym, but today I weighed myself before and after a Body...

.... If so it would be great to compare notes if anyone wants to weigh in with me. I stayed the same this week - grrr! Not sure why - ate out once but kept within the syns allowance for the week overall. I think it's punishment for losing 3lb in my first week, haha! Not giving in though...

Aw thanks ladies. Just got back - we had a lovely evening! Stuck to my 2 small glasses of wine and a tiny port, then we had houmous and stuff to start (I had mine with carrot sticks rather than bread) and then veggie lasagne, not too cheesy (more like ratatouille with a pasta lid) with loads of...

I have only been here a week and a half and have done equal everything. I like EE best as it's so flexible, but I bet I'll lose more on red as I tend to eat more salads etc. There's only so much meat and fish I can get through in a day.... whereas on green I can eat a crazy amount of pasta...

:break_diet:Help! I am going to a friend's for a dinner party tonight and have no idea what she is cooking or what the syns will be. I'm still new to SW and would hate to gain in my 2nd week. Have only used 5 syns since Monday so have 40 left and I can use tomorrow's too making 55 if I...

Hee hee, wait until she's 7 - my daughter has an answer for everything. She's like Karen from Outnumbered... (if you watch that programme)

Thanks everyone - hope you are all doing OK this week too xxx

PS Cazzabella, I agree with Gaylei, your little girl is beautiful :)

:welcome2: Hope you are enjoying your first week. I am new too - this is the only diet I can do as I hate to be hungry at the end of the day when I've used up all my allowances :( - so far so good on SW! Well done on your losses so far, hope you have continued success :)

Yay, I had my first weigh in yesterday and had lost 3lb, despite never feeling hungry (I must have eaten my own body weight in jacket potatoes this week) I am now 10 stone. Shame that 9 stone of that is my fat bum!

I made the hotpot this week and it was yum!!! Really quick and easy to cook too. Looking forward to trying the chicken pies after reading this forum ... must dig my magazine out again...

Cheers folks - my first weigh in tomorrow, eeek! Have been good all week but father in law took us out for a meal today and I ordered what looked like the most slimming thing on the menu (rice with a prawn and monkfish kebab grilled on skewers) only to find out it came on a big white pitta...

Going for SW Quorn bolognese... OH is vegetarian so the green day recipes are going to come in handy...

Yeah, have no objection to Batty - my husband, kids and friends would go with that one... I have been known to lose the hairdryer and have it turn up in the fridge once...

Eeew, just read this post. Thanks for the info ladies - I am mentally making a note never to eat in Wetherspoons again. If they can inject jacket potatoes with oil and deep fry them, then what other evils are they getting up to?

Sounds fab, I NEVER go to Asda though ... but I love Dahl so might make a special trip...

I put grapes in the freezer in little bags and eat them instead of sweets - actually I did that before I was on a diet to keep cool in summer, might be getting a bit cold for that now!

Wow thanks for the welcome everyone! I have been on the diet since Monday, am finding it OK apart from what to have for packed lunches at work (no microwave, have my healthy extra b as cereal so no sandwiches - boring!). Had a bit of a blip when my kitchen scales underestimated my cheese...

Hi all - have just joined Body Optimize online as I have no time to go to a class with work and kids etc... Did Slimming World classes 7 years ago to lose the baby weight after my daughter was born - they were great, and thought I'd give it another go seeing as my weight has crept up over the...
