I've had 2 in 2 days! The guy who runs the burger van from the carpark where i work said... 'Have you lost weight?' I told him he was the first man to mention it and he said 'Well i admit i was looking at your bum' LOL and secondly, i booked my wedding this week for 5 weeks time... and i bought...

After my first 'proper' swim (only managed 14 lengths, i used to do 100) in years i got up next morning and could barely move. I was so grateful i live in a bungalow as i would never have made it downstairs lol. 3 weeks later i am up to doing 30/40! Good luck :) stick with it and a nice steady...

No i havent tried it with the pasta, only the rice! Worth a go! Bee x

I love Beetroot and apple salad. I buy the chilled, cooked ones, chop them into cubes, cube an apple too and mix with either Ex light Mayo (and syn the mayo) or if i have made syn free Mayo i mix it with that. Lovely with a jacket spud or cold meats. Syn free mayo 6oz very low fat fromage...

How about taking some Homemade soup in a flask, or make up some savoury rice, add a little more water than it says, it will be cooked in a flask by lunch time! Bee x

Friday 4th Woohoo! A friend came today and we took the kids to Burger King for a treat lunch... I just had a coffee and just came home and had Veggie Soup and WM bread, i feel so virtuous and proud of myself!!

Noo i havent tried them, i tend to just flavour up the plain stuff but i should expand lol! I do chilli up my mince i must admit! Bee x

I've had this song in my head for days and been changing the words. It'll only work for the people who know the song 'Sound of silence' by Simon and Garfunkel though lol (showing my age i know!) Motivation my old friend, I need to speak with you again. I know its raining and its cold...

My digital scales leapt from the top of the cupboard last week and broke, i was MORTIFIED! Have replaced them with the Argos value ones and i must say they seem great for the money (am broke as my old scales!!) I love to weigh!! Bee x

Looks like you're doing great Vixsta! It takes a while to get your head round it all doesnt it :o) Bee x

Saw your recipe for Arribiata sauce and will be trying that tomorrow, so Thankyou! I'm not a veggie but only eat meat once or twice a month if that so will be following you ladies with interest! I started a diary yesterday too, there must be something in the air lol! Bee x

Weds 2nd - Weigh in day 1lb off! Quite a relief as was expecting to STS! Was off work last week so was only on plan for 3 or 4 days. 100% on plan now so it doesnt catch up next week! Todays plan, will update syns later! Coffee + sk milk HexA Apple B 1/2 tin beans on 2 W/M bread HexB Egg...

Hi Vixsta :) Yeah i love green days! Quorn just does it for me lol and i like having the extra HexB that i wouldnt get on EE! Bee x

Starting myself a diary to keep me on the straight and narrow! My days/menus are mainly the same and i'm hoping i can vary them a bit by keeping a record and keep track of my syns better. Giving up the wine this week too! Been on slimming world since october and 2 stone down :) Now my...

I only ever seem to use mine for cooking outside in the summer when i cant be arsed to light the barbeque! Bee x

Brilliant, well done, what an inspiration these posts are, so Thankyou too :) Indulge away!! Bee x

I would do roast sweet potato chunks or butternut squash. Or how about some skin on wedges with green beans or corn on the cob? Bee x

Good luck tomorrow! I bet next sunday you will be full of excitement instead :) Bee x

I had a day out the other day and took some spicy chicken drumsticks and beetroot and apple salad.T'was yummy! Bee x

I've had to totally jiggle around my concept of meals to 'get enough in'! I work 4pm - 9pm and i used to go from lunch til 9.30pm without food. Now i eat piece of fruit first thing, have a cooked brunch (quorn sausage, beans, egg, toast) about 11. Soup and fruit etc before work and a small meal...

I love the sentiment too, and i'm getting there slowly. The more i exercise and see my shape change for the healthier the more happy i am to look at myself in the mirror. Don't get me wrong i'd love a boob lift but the only person who sees them au natural is me and him and he's not bothered so...

Jacket potato with Quorn chicken pieces cooked with toms, a spag bol stock cube and a sqwueeze of that easy chilli stuff! Just make it up as i go along lol! Bee x

My syns never go on sweet stuff, i use mine up on sauces, dressings and the occasional glass of wine or extra cheese!! How about adding some sultanas to your cereal? Salad dressing to your salad or Mayonnaise? A couple crackers and cheese for supper? Bee x

Brilliant, well done you for sticking with it, fabulous loss! Bee x

Definately dont take any money with you! I work 4pm-9pm (so its odd time to fit meals round) and can honestly say i havent been to the vending machine once since i started - because i only take 20p for the coffee machine!! Bee x

My staples are - Quorn mince, sausages, chicken pieces Fry light Eggs Stock cubes Loads of Veg and Fruit Fat free yoghurt Wholemeal bread Alpen lights Passatta Chickpeas/beans/lentils Baked beans In fact tesco due anytime with all of mine :) Good luck and enjoy! Bee x

Love this thread :) I went for a brisk walk yesterday and couldnt work out why i felt 'odd' walking - then i realised.... My thighs werent rubbing together!!!! :)

Have a pot of homemade soup on the hob, just needs whizzing up. Using up fridge stuff! Butternut squash, parsnip, onion, carrot, potato and half tin toms! Bee x

Yep :o See Here! Bee x

I love the Quorn chicken pieces. I fry a whole bag off with some frylight, add onions, passatta, peppers, beef stock, worcester sauce and simmer for 20 mins or so then add a couple blocks of frozen spinach and some peas for 10 mins or so. Delish with mushy peas or a jacket spud or pasta! I bag...

Love this! My names Bee and i'm a DOER! Bee x

I've been doing 30 - 40 mins on the wii too at least 5 days a week. I have come up with a new cunning plan to fit some exercise in, i'm going to drive my daughter to playgroup and leave the car there, walk home and back to collect her, at least 3 times a week is my goal. That will give me 3...

I cant get enough of Hot water and lemon juice with a spot of sweetener in! I've bought more lemons in the last week than i have in a lifetime!! Bee x

Good luck and welcome! Thats my new big challenge, quitting smoking eek! Enjoy your journey :) Bee x

Have you got a camping stove or could you borrow one? That will give you a hob ring? Bee x

Well done and welcome :) Bee x

As a friend once said to me, 'Would you like that 1.5lb back?' Don't be disheartened, be chuffed! Go to Google images and search for a lb fat and reassess! Keep smiling :) Bee x

You're absolutely right, mine too. The pressure is off in a way as there is always something you can have! I've never realised that before! Bee x

I set my daughter up on the Wii Fit earlier, she's been desperate for a go at Hula hooping. Her Wii Fit age was.... 23, she is 3 1/2 Lol. Altho her BMI was 'Ideal' unlike mine!! Bee x

I just use Laughing cow lights on toast instead, as a HEXa or if i do have it i just Syn it and only use it on 1 slice!! Bee x

Must be something in the air as i've been exercising every day this week too. Really want Just Dance! Bee x

Oh that proper made me LOL! Love it! Bee x

"The past is for Reference and not Residence" :) Bee x

Lol, Me too! I will miss that when my subscription ends on the 20th!! Bee x

Definately realistic i'd say, especially with a goal to aim for to keep you 'in the zone!'. Good luck and enjoy :) Bee x

Thankyou ladies! Good to hear i'm not the only one lol. It just made me laugh when the Wii said 'Well done'! and i realised noone else had said that lol. I'm a stubborn soul so in fact it spurs me on more!! Bee x

Blimey she would drive me nuts! I'd go to group in a flash if we had a good consultant round here. Theres one i like but she only does evening meetings and i work then, the only morning class is with a lady who talks to us as if we are 3 year olds! Very frustrating :( Bee x

Its just occurred to me that i get more encouragement from the Wii than anyone in Real life!! So does anyone encourage you or do you feel you are going it alone?! I do have online friends who are on the plan too but i mean on a daily/face to face basis. Bee x

I do majority of Green days, maybe 6/7? Working for me :) Good luck and enjoy! Bee x

I really enjoyed this too! Thought the soup thing was fascinating and good to see the low fat dairy/calcium doubled the amount of fat excreted! Bee x

I am, as of this week just 'Overweight' and not 'Obese', it feels good :) am hoping my BP reflects it too! I also have been playing in the snow, sledging and walking everywhere with my daughter, rather than just looking out the window at it! Bee x

My trigger was that I got offered a new role at work, in which my uniform changed and i had 'nothing to hide behind'! I also needed a confidence boost to help me in the new job! Bee x

Ooh sooo much better, as a body optimise member online, i can now find what i want much easier :)

Green all the way for me. Have done 2 red days in 7 weeks and was hungry, so sticking with green, as i know it works for me :) Bee x

I made a quorn chicken pieces and spinach lasagne yesterday. Looking forward to another portion for tea tonight, although am seriously contemplating having it for breakfast instead as it was so yummy!! Bee x

Thats it, i'm inspired! Weigh in day tomorrow so a good day to start! Will set my alarm early and get out following the plan Trixie posted. Thanks guys, wish me luck :o) Bee x

I think that is a good idea, i was considering doing it on the sauces/mayonnaise to remind me to count each time i dip in! My little thing is i weigh out lots of portions of cereal when i buy a new box and put them in seperate bags in the big box, it stops me 'guessing' and going over! Bee x

I must admit i havent tried 1 i think is 'best' yet, but in saying that i had 2 slices of white the other night out of larder desperation...(synned of course :op) and i was awake on and off all night with belly ache, that was the only thing i had different in 5 weeks so must have been the bread...

Weekends generally have much less structure than weekdays for most people, so i attempt to structure mine too. I meal plan for the week, including the weekend and often cook on friday ready for the weekend to stop me cupboard and fridge staring! Instead of sitting in front of the tv i try and...

Love it! Well done :)

...(does a little dance!) Finished my last of a 2 week stretch of nights last night/this morning. Have managed to stay on plan losing 6lb's in the fortnight and last night our manager was buying us a chinese to say thanks. I managed to politely decline as i really didnt want it :) I didnt...

I'd like to say thanks too, not going to class so this forum has been invaluable. I'm certain by logging in everyday i'm getting support and image therapy from my own front room :) Bee x

Well done becface! I hope i do as well on nights as you, i start tonight!!

Thankyou all so much, that really is helpful. Like i say i just dont know what i might want to eat lol. Think i will go armed with fruit, some veggie bolognaise or something and see how it goes! I also wont take any money so i cant go near the vending machine!! Thanks again lovelies :o)

Hi all, i'm new to posting here and have gained so many ideas so Thankyou all :) I'm just finishing 2 weeks and really 'in the zone' but i have a niggle!

This was a childhood favourite - adapted sw style! Its simple, cheap comfort food! In a casserole dish pour a tin of tomatoes add a layer of sliced boiled eggs add a layer of mashed potato Cheese sauce on top. (i made mine with a couple eggs beaten into fromage frais, pepper, and grated...
