Well all my hard work and good intentions went out the window over the weekend when i went to stay with the OH. Friday started well, i'd only had 8.5 syns and then i had a tiny glass of wine....which turned into a bottle of wine and then some Morgans Spiced :( Saturday wasn't too bad. Did ok...

I'm going to have a proper professional spray tan done, acrylic nails, haircut then i'll buy a really gorgeous, sexy dress and hit the town to strutt my stuff! lol I like the idea of a tattoo but i'm a total wuss...maybe i'll pluck up the courage! :D

Hi, can anyone help with the syn value of this flavour please? I've searched the site and also google and have managed to find all the other flavours except this one :mad: Would like to have it for lunch tomorrow if not too synful :D

So this is my first day on SW and thought I'd start this diary to keep me on the straight and narrow! Previously lost a lot of weight with VLCD's but after having my son last year i just couldn't get back into the swing of things and had no energy so going to try the slimming world approach...

Im just starting my SW journey today and thought maybe this thread would keep me motivated! So i would like to lose 3 stone which will see me at target. Could someone be so kind as to copy and paste the list with me added to lose 42lbs as im doing this from my phone? Thank you x

These posts have inspired me to start The Shred again. I started after the birth of my son but gave up after about 3 days :( Going to do it tonight when the wee man is in bed and might alternate it with Rapid Results Pilates...i will probably die but hopefully i'll be a slimmer and toned corpse! lol

Wish every restaurant did that! How good would that be?! :D

Hi all, I am starting SW on Tuesday and i am just wondering if there are any gadgets that are worth buying? I know i will need scales but what else? Is there anything you use that you couldn't do without? I have the basics but i see things like potato ricers mentions, are these better than a...

The 30 Day Shred is good. It's only 25 mins long too so a bonus if you dont have a lot of time. It's really tough at first but after a few days it gets better :) I also love the 10 Minute Solution dvd's, my favourite is Pilates Perfect Body, thisreally lengthens and shapes the body but is low...

Hi Sue, can't really answer your question but just wanted to say that i am planning on doing just that. I lost almost 9 stone with CD in 2008/2009 and then fell pregnant and gained 5 stone back. I've been following Exante for the last 3 months and have lost most of the weight. I am joining SW on...

Great, thanks so much for the replies. Probably best to just take my cheque book then :) I know i will have a gain, i'm just making sure it will all even out again lol. It's hard to believe that we can have all that lovely food and yet still lose weight :D Can't wait to get started. I've...

Hi everyone, I am currently doing a VLCD (Exante working solutions) but i am starting SW on Tuesday 25th January. Has anyone switched from a VLCD to SW and if so how much can i expect to gain in the first week and how long did it take for your body to adjust and start losing again? My...

Ahh that makes sense, thanks x

I also find this really strange! I mean the banana (for example) will get mashed in my mouth anyway lol but who am i to argue withh the system when it obviously works :)

Yeah, chin up FNM, not all diets are suitable for everyone. I did Cambridge from Nov 08 to July 09 and lost almost 9 stone. Then i fell pregnant in October and gained FIVE stone during my pregnancy. I basically used my pregnancy as an excuse to eat. I did Exante for a couple of months after the...

I got a copy from my local Co-op today :)

I'm having Christmas day and boxing day off and probably New Years eve and day too. Then i'm 100% until 21st January when i'm away for the weekend which will involve lots of food and drink. Hoping i'll be almost at target by then and will start Slimming World after my weekend away :)

I love the banana shake but a nice hot chocolate has been the order of the day! I wish they did the chocolate tetras like Cambridge do, they were so yummy and really easy to pop one in your bag if you're out and about.

When i did Cambridge i used to eat carbs the day before and day of any planned alcohol...seemed to work for me, was a bugger to get back into ketosis though :( Enjoy yourself :)

This is available for pre-order from Asda...can't wait :D

Fantastic, well done x

My favourite shake is banana, haven't tried it hot yet though, maybe try that tomorrow :) Fave soup is either veg or mushroom, can't decide between them. Love both bars :D

Honk! :D

Ooh sounds interesting. Wonder if they'll bring out a festive themed shake like "spiced apple" or "eggnog" lol that would be a nice change :)

Hi guys, Thanks for the replies. Just had a cup and it's not too bad, think i would add a sweetner next time though. For those of you who asked....it's Asda's own. It's a green box and says 20 Green Tea Bags and then underneath in small writing it says "with a hint of floral jasmine" :)

Hi everyone, I've just gone to make myself a cup of green tea and i noticed that i've picked up a type that has a hint of Jasmine! Do you think this will be ok? :confused:

I make mine in a huge Starbucks mug and whisk it with a fork to make sure there are no lumps :D

First day honk!

Hi LittlemissD, I am starting tomorrow and my wee boy is also 16 weeks so snap! lol. I have been messing about for the past couple of months replacing one meal a day with either a shake or soup but i am going onto Total Solutions tomorrow ;) I was quite surprised to find that banana is...

Newbie here! Hi x

Hi everyone, I am new to Exante but not new to VLCD's! I lost 8 1/2 stone with Cambridge Diet, then i got pregnant and put on about 4 stone :mad: My baby is now just over 3 and a half months old and i have about 2 and a 1/2 stone to lose. I've been messing about trying to lose the weight...
