Steak....:D

Well TB it sounds like you're doing fantastically well with your running. I'm so impressed! I'm really not a runner myself, I just get bored and sore lol. This week I have finally brushed the dust off the exercise bike in my front room and have done 2x 20 min sessions....it's a start right...

Hi TB, Sounds like you're having a productive time, even though it's cold outside and you have no water. I don't have a dishwasher and always have to wash up, now that I'm cooking more it usually results in great big piles of dishes sitting patiently on the work surface. I just re-read your...

Hiya Ladies, Congrats on getting your one stone sticker ScotDeb! I've never felt happier to receive a sticker in my life than when it's from Slimming World lol. I always find weekends the hardest time, especially when my boyfriend comes down to see me. He lives in Birkenhead, so just the other...

Awww well done Trix, you're doing so well. My advice for the cinema is stick ur own snack in ur handbag....from my experience they don't sell grapes etc. lol. I hope u enjoy the film. Until the other day I'd never seen any of the Harry Potter films. I've now seen half of the first one (we had to...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how many syns this is on extra easy? I'm having problems using the SW calculator, but the nutrition per 100g is: 145cal Protein 7.1g Carbs 22.0 g Fat 2.9g The portion is 275g (although I ate 200g of it). It's mostly couscous, but there's some chicken breast too...

Hi Scotdeb and TB, Welcome to our team Scotdeb! You're more than welcome to join us. It looks like you're doing fantastically. Do you go to classes or do online or just follow the plan on your own? TrixieB- It sounds like you had a fantastic time in London. I bet you did lots of walking in...

Hi TB, Congrats on losing a pound...in less than a week! I hope you're having fun in London and enjoying your cereal bars. Having something to focus on (your visit home) is a great idea. We've started to think about a holiday we've booked to Portugal in March. It's something to look forward to...

Hi Trix, Sounds like you have it all planned out, which is definitely the right way to be. Visiting friends is difficult when you're slimming, so it's great that your cousin is understanding. I'm going to my bfs parents for Christmas and I already feel like I'm being incredibly fussy. His mum...

Hi Aimz, Of course you can join us, the more the merrier! I know exactly how you're feeling. I've gone from being 100% dedicated to needing a kick up the bottom sometimes this last few weeks. I guess maybe the novelty has worn off a bit. I think the best thing to do is make sure you plan your...

Hiya, I'll be your buddy. I had 5-6 stone to lose when I started (at couple of months ago) and have lost 1.5 stone so far woohoo. I'm a recovering pizza-holic. How are you finding it so far? Do you to meetings or do online? I go to meetings and love it! Love Claire x

Awwww TrixieB, Where have you gone? x

Hi TrixieB, How's it going this week? Still a busy bee? x

Hiya, How did the weigh-in go this week? x

You're not gonna believe this...I lost 2.5lb!!!! The conclusion we came to at the meeting is that although my food intake had increased, so had my activity levels as we were out and about all the time. I also made some positive steps, including smaller sized pizza, long walks to try to...

Hurrah! 2 pounds is fab...well done. I'm embarrassed to say, I have messed up terribly the week. It all started the day after my weigh in. We'd been busy doing allsorts and in the end I gave in to the temptation of pizza. This didn't worry me too much as it was a one off....so I thought. The...

Hi TrixieB, Sorry I've been slow. I was a busy bee in London, then I headed up to the North West, which is where I am now. When I was in London I was really good until the end of the day. We'd been doing so much walking and I had lovely chicken sushi (2.5 syns for the pack) and melon for my...

...

Well done. Another pound is fab! Half a stone in 3 weeks is nothing to be sniffed at. You're averaging over 2 pounds a week! I had McDonalds Chicken Nuggets this afternoon....but I syned them so hopefully I'm not going down the fast-food slippery slope hehe. Tomorrow I'm going to London for...

Haha that did make me chuckle. Ireland has banned instant spuds....I'll bare that in mind! I thought maybe you had a canadian connection, as you're off to Canada just before Christmas. That's a huge move to make for a relationship, but sounds like it was worth it though. I guess a few hours by...

Sorry it was 'grillsteaks', but page 54 of the optimizing book.

....Oh and I look forward to hearing about the smash pizza. I hate mashed potato, but I get the impression it won't exactly have the same texture as mashed potato. Fingers crossed for a yummy pizza alternative! I'm going to have my first real pizza in 4 weeks this weekend. I can't really believe...

Hiya, Sorry for not being in touch for a couple days. I seem to have been busy, busy, busy....although I've not done anything constructive! On the plus side I've lost 2 lb. I think that must be from walking around everywhere. I got my '1 stone' certifcate and sticker at sw class this evening and...

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin passing away, that's really sad. Sounds like you had a hard weekend. Well done for staying on track. That must have been quite a challenge. I don't think anyone would have blamed you if you'd fallen off the wagon! Losing a pound is fab. Have you ever been...

Hi Trix, Sorry to hear about your middle sprog going to casulaty. Are they alright now? How many children do you have? I don't have any children yet, although I have stretchmarks and child bearing hips lol. I've been poorly today (it's the season for colds!) and didn't eat much earlier, so...

I ate the steak, without guilt and.....I WAS LOVELY! Thanks for your help guys.

Well I got on ok, 1.5lb off this week. A loss is great, but I was hoping for a bit more, as I'd been so good. If I get another pound off then I'll have reached my first stone off...I'm really looking forward to that and hope I'm there next week. The weekend after I'm going out for a meal, so...

If it's only 5 cal then it's a 'low calorie' fizzy drink, so yes it's definitely syn free. Always best to check first though, I say this because I've messed up in the past by drinking something I assumed was free and it wasn't. Take care x

Thanks everyone x

:eat: Please help!

WSS ^^^ 1 syn for level tbsp or 1.5 for level tbsp of salad cream light (slightly nicer in my opinion)

Hi TrixieB, Hope you're having a good day and had a successful shopping trip. I've been 'planning' my meals before shopping quite often too and find I'm definitely more focussed when I've planned. The past two days I didn't plan though and found myself going off track and speanding loads of...

Hi Everyone, I hope you're all having a fab week. I have a little question someone might be able to help me with....Today I bought a sirloin steak for my din dins. It's smallish, as I heard steak the size of your palm should be plenty big enough, and I'll be cutting off the fat before cooking...

Hi TrixieB, Sounds like you're making a great start. I love the tracker bits and pieces too. I really shows you how well you're doing and keeps you positive. I think writing down what you're eating is a fab way to go. I religiously write everything down that I've eaten (if I didn't I'd forget!)...

They LOVED it. I went to the plate to get some myself and there was none left! Soooo many people asked where the recipe was from and I told them about this amazing messageboard. Everyone had bought lovely snacks to try and I got some fantastic new ideas. I think this week I'll be doing lots of...

Hi everyone, I'm new and joined because I came across this site by accident when looking for a party food recipe. I made the KFC style chicken this afternoon and it's so yummy! Tonight I have my WI and we all have to bring party food....I can't wait for everyone to try it! I'm a bit of an...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this board and I already love it:D! I'm also pretty new to Slimming World....I joined 3 weeks ago (Thurs night weigh-ins). I've done well so far, but I have been to slimming clubs before and find I lose my motivation after a while. I want to lose 5 stone in total (eek...

WSS^ Also fry your veg first with a little fry light to give them an even better taste and seal them.....or just bung everything in because it's easier and scrape the fat off like you did lol. Afterall slow cookers are meant to be nice and simple hehe. Also, that smash idea for thickening is...

Hi Everyone, I found this site yesterday when looking for Slimming World recipes and I feel so inspired already. Couldn't wait to join! I look forward to chat to everyone and sharing my tips (when I have some). Love, Claire x
