Have just finished a 4 hour combat-a-thon for cancer research and it was fab! I'm really aching now though :) all for a worthwhile cause

Oh no :( that's not fair :(

I usually have the iPad version and the recipe book is usually on there still after the magazine finishes just keep flicking through, I have brought the paper one this time so not sure for this issue x

Hi I have done slimming world on and off for about 12 years and when I first did it it was only red and green days, I did mainly red and I remember that corned beef was free! I lost a stone in a month back then but never had the same success since :( i put it down to ageing!! I still do a few...

Hi Maggie I have some solo slim and I think they are horrible :( I will probably chuck them away. The only one I liked was pork meatballs and smokey beans:( I would say no they are not worth the money but that's just my tastes I suppose. Many people love them. Good luck with it all

Hi everyone, Well I ordered 10 days of solo soup and meals and I find them disgusting :( so ill be probably chuck them! I ordered a 28 day box as well which I was able to cancel. I'm just gonna have to try and be good but find it so hard to stick to1200 cals :( thinking slimming world again...

I signed up online too and have brought the solo slim food which is quite nice. Have to say Its hard only eating 1200 cals though :( lots of will power needed! Best of luck I have about 2 stone to lose :)

Is anybody using solo slim meals? I have 10 soups and 10 meals see how I go? It might take the thinking out of portion control for me and get me used to eating less! Anyone had success with this?

Ooh I forgot it was pancake day tomorrow :) I'm fasting for first time today so will also be able to indulge in pancakes yay!

Hello everyone :) I'm gonna be starting the fast diet tomorrow so thought I would say hi! Been reading through the threads and there seems to be a lot of support which ill need on the fast days!

Hi there , Happy new year! I did slimming world for years on and off at first with success then a couple of lbs would come off and go back on again! I started WW last weds first weigh in tomorrow and I have stuck to it which I am surprised by! So I have found it great and I am confident it is...

I have just been and had a look at this website after seeing this post, I am very tempted to try it! Would like to know if anyone else has had success :)

Is anyone still doing this? I have got my books out again and gonna give it another go? I did find it expensive when I did it last though?

I do body pump a couple of times a week, yes it is weights but you start off low and build up to more as toy get stronger. It is a great class to do it works all of you muscles. It is hard and you will ache but if you can build more muscle then your body will burn more calories. Give it a go...

I like these guidelines, think I will use them too! X

Yes me too!! Took my daughter to see gruffalo live in brum so had maccy ds etc... Back on plan tomorrow!!

I had my shake at 9 then snack bar at 11 I have just had a bit of melon and gonna have shake at 1 then another snack about 3 then proper tea at 5 and maybe snack later? An apple or something? Its working out at 1300 ish cals which is hard for me as I'm used to doing slimming world where I can...

Thanks girls, yes my first day was ok, I am just so starving!! I know it will get easier though I just gotta keep drinking the water!

Hi I just started yesterday, can I join please? I would like 7lb off by the end of August thanks

It going on, I have been starving though but hoping my body gets used to it! Drinking plenty of water to fill my tum up! I'm hoping after a week I will find it easier. I'm off to center parcs on Monday so I don't know how I'll stick to it but I'll try!

I started slimfast yesterday, good luck with it and I will follow your journey if that's ok xx

Thanks for you reply :) I have stuck to it well today, I did have a meal in afternoon before the gym as I burn about 600 cals usually and don't want to go below 1200 a day. I think I'll be having my first shake a bit later tomorrow probably around 9 because I was starving this morning! No gym...

Sainsbury have slim fast on 3 for 2 offer at moment

I all I'm new to slim fast and had my first shake at 7am and feel Hungary already :( will have some water see if that helps, I have done every diet going from slimming world to weightwatchers and I love food so much so this will be so hard!

Ahhh thank you!! Anyone found these small cucumber things he talks about?

I have tried holland and barrat for them and no luck, will google and see if I can get somewhere else. Thanks for quick reply x

Hi all, I have just downloaded this for kindle and read the main part and flicked through the recipes. As he is American I assume we can't get some things here in England such as Ezekiel bread, farro? Any good substitutes ? X going shopping later! Sounds like your all doing well! X

STS for me this week, didn't have a very healthy week so pleased I didn't put on!!

Lost 2lb this week x

I have started logging it on the online diary and am going to do an extra easy week see if it helps me stick to it! Success express seems harder work! X

I put on 2! I'm was expecting it though I can't get on track lately :( I do body combat and body pump classes 2-3 times a week, I really enjoy them and it's a bit of me time too x

Well done! I'm expecting a gain this week, will update after weigh in. I do a bit of exercise and it does make you feel better but when the the twins were small babies I didnt bother I was far too tired!!

Oh it's great when they sleep longer! It won't be long before u can put them to bed at 7 and that's it till the morning! It makes so much difference when you get sleep!! Mine go at 7 and sleep until 6-7am now it's amazing! We are so blessed having twins! They are hard work but worth it x

Hi can I join in please, I want to lose 35lb overall but would be happy with 25lb off by Christmas! I weigh in on a Monday morning x

They don't know the difference! The Twins will eat anything anyway! My daughter is a bit fussy though! How are you doing anyway? Hope you are making the most of the twins napping, I started off trying to get all the housework etc done and realised I should just sleep too! It's so hard when...

Hi mrs cupcake, Um doing fine, another 2 off last week :) I'm hoping for 3 this week to get my half stone!

Well done! You'll soon be at your goal x

Hi there, I would also like to do just green as its cheaper and more convenient! But I also used to do a lot of red days and think it will make me put on? I do know that it is as successful as red days but in my head I think no it won't work!! Sorry I can't be more of a help! Maybe we should...

That's meant to be pork stirfy !! Lol

Ok first day back on red days here goes! Breakfast- bacon, 2x BGTY sausages (1 syn) tomatoes, eggs Snack -2x babybel (HEA), 2 x Alpenlight (HEB) Lunch - cottage cheese, 2x scan bran (2syns) BBQ chicken slices (1syn) Snack - 2 babybel (HEA) Dinner - porn stirfy with chow mein sauce (5 syns)

You can do red or green days too, on a red day you have unlimited lean meat, fish and the vegetables and salad but use a healthy extra for the potatoes/pasta you get 2x HEB and 2x HEA the green day is as much potatoes/pasta etc and you use healthy extra for meat/fish. It should explain it in the...

Yes that plan sounds the same as England extra easy. I have been following that but keep falling off the wagon!! Just been shopping and gonna do some red days see if it helps. What fitness classes do you do? I do a few really enjoy them x

Hi ber, Maybe we can help each other stay motivated! I think I replied to your thread, are you just doing red days. X

Welcome! Congratulations on the birth of your baby. We are all friendly here. I have done slimming world a lot over the years and find its the easiest one. I lost a lot on red days before extra easy came along and plan on trying ref days again.

I all I have done slimming world on and off for 10 years!! I'm still overweight! I have had 3 children two of them are twins so I'm very busy! Want to lose 3 stone and have decided to do a diary see if it will help me keep on track! Im off shopping tonight so starting (again) tomorrow! I go to...

That's a fab loss! I haven't had a great start I need to get out and do a slimming world shop!! Done lots of exercise so hope that will help. Yeas my daughter is 6 and the boys 22 months. It's hard work but they are a gorgeous :) will let you know how I get on at my weigh in Monday! Hope you...

Hello cupcake, Congratulations! I am also a twin mummy to two boys. They will be 2 in August. It's hard work isn't it!! I have rejoined slimming world today and want to lose 2-3 stone. I will be flowing your diary.

Hi cup cake, I am a similar weight to you and have tried every diet going!! I do DVDs which are mainly jillian micheals. I do go to the gym and do body combat and pump but I'm no closer to my goal because I eat too much!! That's my problem! I use my fitness pal to track calories it's free and...

Hi there, I go to the gym and do body combat and pump but got a personal training session today and I'm gonna use it to start me running on the treadmill as I have heard its best for losing body fat and then get some free weights in. I have the couch to 5k app and have started it before but...

Hi, I'm shelley0363 on MFP if you want to add me. Congratulations on your weight loss that's fantastic!

I have been looking to get this, I also own BFBM, NMTZ , six week 6 pack and 30DS but I never stick to them for long enough to see any results! They are tough workouts. The body revolution is quite expensive isn't it? Is it available in uk yet? Sorry I can't help with your question x

Hiya, I would sign up to myfitnesspal which is a great tool and will help you work out what calories you need etc. it's free and you can get a phone app too. I'm trying to lose 3 stone by September and chocolate keeps finding its way into my mouth :( I will get there though!! Good luck xx

I think you can input the training info on the polar website that you can register for which is free I think, it does save workouts and you can look back at them on the watch. Its a decent one but i know you can spend hundreds on them that do a lot more! It depends what functions you want. I...

Hiya, I use a polar FT4 and find it great for classes that I do such as combat etc. it was £55 from amazon and they do several colours. It is easy to set up and shows cals burned and heart rate etc. I do only really use mine to see how many calories I burn though!

Yep that's fine I have accepted you x

Welcome to calorie counting. Im shelley0363 on myfitnesspal if u want to add me

Is that for I phone? I can't find it in the app store?

Hi everyone hope your having a good week? My steps for tues - 11026 weds- 18499 and today - 14396

Hi all I'm a little late starting this for the new year but here goes!! Monday 13570 Happy new year to to you all xx

Well done curlz that's a fab achievement x

That's meant to be a smiley face not a question mark by your name!! :)

Hello Rosie ? Look forward to starting next week and getting some weight off!! Xx

On the website a tall frappaccino light is 3? That's all I could find but I doubt that is correct if u want cream

I have a weight watchers pedometer and have just signed up again do will be counting my steps too. I have a walk I do after school run that is nearly 3 miles do will aim to do that on school days

Wow like the sound of your chippy!! What area is that I may move! Lol!

Yeah I'm finding I like it. I used to do slimming world so pro points was a shock for me, I just couldn't stick to it .

Thank you x I did a lot of walking too which I think helped Would live the same next week and get my silver 7! X How you finding s/f?

3.5lbs this week well chuffed !

Breakfast 3x turkey rashers 2 pp Baked beans Grilled tomato Egg Nimble toast Lunch Ww bagel Laughing cow light 1 pp Apple Chicken with ww tikka sauce 3 pp Brown rice Banana

I paid £16.95 I think it's expensive but I have found it useful and it makes me want to get out and walk to see how many points I can get.

I can never get on with porridge for breakfast for some reason. I much prefer a savoury start, eggs on toast or boiled eggs. I think I eat too many carbs too ! Tried Atkins and felt Ill all the time!

Yes it is very motivating when you can see the points totting up and the miles that you walk. Would definitely recommend.

I am the same hun, I joined ww online a month ago and have not stuck to it for more than a day :( I have changed to monthly pass and went to a meeting on weds and still can't stick to it!! Keep going over my points so starting simply filling tomorrow but I doubt I will have lost in my first week...

I am walking about 3 miles after I have dropped my daughter off at school as extra then the rest is normal activity, I didn't know if should press the plus button for the walk or not? I had walked about 5 miles on Thursday and Friday by the end of the day.

Hi all, joined a meeting on weds and have failed with pro points :mad: i dunno what it is but i just cant stick to the points!!i am an ex slimming world girl so giving simply filling a go now. i may stick to it better if i write it on here!! have my first weigh in weds morning and have...

Ask points list continued.. Antipasti Marinated olives 5 Mushrooms alforno 8 prawns al piccante 9 prosciutto & mozzarella crostini 9 warm spinich and mushroom dip 10 Insalata chefs salad 14 chicken caesar salad 14 filetto di salmone all insalata 8 insalata di pollo e pancetta...

Yes I will post it all tomorrow my I phone went a bit funny and stopped letting me type anything!! I'm off to bed now cos feeling a bit Ill but promise I'll finish typing it tomorrow for you x

Antipasti Selezione ( half ) 19 Bruschetta 7 Calamari 15 Capra grill 10 Cod and pancetta fish cake 11 Garlic bread 6 Garlic bread with cheese 9 Insalata pomodoro e pesto 7 Marinated olives 5

Hiya, have book in front of me, what is it your after?

Yeah I measured my stride and imputed all the info, maybe I will try it on my sock instead, thanks for the reply x

Thank you for your reply Annie much appreciated, have got another 5 today, good job really as I have fallen off the wagon slightly!

Thanks for the help everyone , will stick to weightwatchers website for help in future

Well done!! I have just joined this week and think its a great plan. Have previously been successful with slimming world but really needed to get portion sizes into check and think this will help. Hope you have more success with the plan x

I all I went to my first meeting on weds and brought the pedometer. I wore it yesterday all day and went for a long walk which was nearly 3 miles and had got 1 activity point when I got back as I had used my day to day steps by doing that. So for the rest of the day I was doing housework and...

Have you accidentally changed it to maintain instead of lose weight?

Hello, I'm in Stourport which isn't that far from dudley I'll happily buddy up with you, I don't go to class just do it myself at home but gonna be starting properly tomorrow. Good luck! Xx

I am 5'8 and weigh 13.12 a 16 bottom and 16-18 top depending if it's fitted or not !

Yeah u probably need a tetanus jab, I got bit by a dog once and if you haven't had one in the last 10 years you should have one, I would check just in case.

I have just done w2d1 and it wasn't too bad!! Still red as a beetroot when I got home but it seemed to go quicker than last week, thinking that I might actually be able to do this!

Good luck!! I use the phone app for it and it's really good, I have done week one and hoping to get out and start week 2 today.

Hi welshtigger, I'm doing ok, I have done a bit of running in the past with my mum but gave up after a few weeks. The first night I went round my local forest and it wad really tough because of the hills! The second day I went with a mate around the streets by me and third day I did it all on...

Been watching this thread for a while and thought I'd join you all!! I have just completed W1D3 today and so proud of myself! I really hope I can keep at it , good luck everyone!! Xx

I love total yogurt! I have the fat free one with fruit. How many syns is the honey one?

Red day : bacon, tomato, mushrooms, and fruit and yogurt :) yum Need to plan the rest of the day!

Well it's in the app store there's a couple to chose from, I'll update on how I get on!! There is a thread about it as well, think it's in the health and fitness forum.

I'm doing it myself now too, I was subscribed but I can't afford to renew and I can't get to class as I have my daughter 5 and twin boys who are 1 now, it's a great eating plan if you can stick to it!! Well done on your weight loss u hope I have some success this time.

It's couch to 5k it's an app that helps you get started with running, NHS do a podcast too, it's 9 weeks and you run 3 times a week starting off at 1 min run then 1.5 min walk and it gets harder as the weeks go on, by the end of it you should be able to run 5k or 30 mins straight.

Im starting again this morning on red days. Did them years ago and lost a stone in a month!! Have tried EE since and I just don't lose the same :( think I'm better when I don't have many carbs. I keep saying I will start the C25K as well! I have the app and everything I just gotta get my big bum...

I am sure they are free on EE and green, unless the recipe has changed.
