Thats is such a fabulous idea (thinks of stealing lol!) But reminds me of some christmas hampers me and the kids did the other year for family! Even though i labelled everything MIL put some Lush Soap in the fridge, convinced it was cheese, and another family member put chocolate truffles in...

Ha ha ha i love this thread! My last group were fantastic with the SOTW basket and it always had a great variety of stuff in it - and never past it's sell by date or mouldy looking! Funnily enough though last week in my new group the lucky winner just got 5 oranges ! Needless to say this...

I am so going to have to try this, i make a gorgeous curry with either lamb or beef but have to syn the light cocunut milk! Thanks! x

What are the slimpods??? Sounds a good idea - something i could do with! And i know that just to lazy to cook feeling! xx

Just looked on their website ans cannot find it listed! Sorry! Hope someone else can help you! x

I am so loving your positive idea hun!!! Just popping in to say hello, and the batch cooking idea sounds ideal for you! Once it's out the way it's there isn't it! We usually have food leftover so i just freeze it and then i know there's always something in the freezer if i'm having a bad day...

Doing great Kirsty!!!!! Well done!!!!! xx And i agree i love the measuring lark ha ha! x

Just wondering how you mix green and red if you are veggie? If you don't eat meat would that not cancel out the red days? As i thought red and green were the same if not similar? Or do you eat some meat, or fish etc? It's just i have a family member who has a completely meat and fish free diet...

Prawns, Boiled Egg, New Potatoes and Salad

Sweet and Sour Chicken and rice (peppers, carrots, onions, for superfree)

Patsy - yep that is EXACTLY his problem! Thing is we got voer all of this and it just keeps coming back! It turns him inot a bit of a monster and it's so difficult to live with! Of course he thinks i'm nagging, but i just care to the end of the world and back and want him to realise that feeling...

Thanks hun! ;) xx

1/2 ON!!!!!! :cry:But as my consultant said and a member with a fitness coach for a husband, i've upped the exercise ALOT this week, so hopefully that will just settle down! I have lost 1.5 inches from my waist and hips, 1 inch from my chest and .5 inch from my thighs - so all is good! Even so...

Homemade Cheese and Bacon Burger tonight with Spicy Wedges and loads of salad...after weigh in !!

Well i must apologise that you feel 'abused' as that wasn't my intention at all! It's just you did mention that it makes you cross when people say that groups are cliquey. To a new member groups can seem quite daunting, it's a hell of a thing for most people to take those through steps through...

Just a thought - if you've been going a 'long time' and sit in your normal group of 'friends' would you not think of making 'newbies' at ease, approaching them and welcoming them? Like you say it annoys you when people say 'groups' are cliquey? But as you say you have 'close groups of...

Are happy with your consultant? I've just replied on another thread and it got me thinking about past consultants and other groups i've had, where i've felt REALLY motivated and been succesfull! However i've recently moved and am on my 2nd group neither are in my local village as i cannot...

I've attended many different groups over the years and i find it really strange how the support and a feel of a group differs from one to another! But then i suppose that is what you get from a self employed style weightloss business! I really miss my last consultant and group since moving! I...

Chunkmonster? HA HA, First time i've heard that one! I've a very good friend who was just the same as you (ie 12lb baby, etc etc) and when she tried she lost a whopping 10 stone - btu then she veered off the path! And put t back on - so now she's back on it and has vowed NEVER to go back to...

As far as the consultants i've had are concerned as long as you are having up to 5 syns everyday then there is no reason not to 'save' some syns to use flexibly for nights out / meals etc etc. What we really shouldnt be doing is going without syns all week so that we can blow them all on one...

:D Hi, Well done on your loss so far! :) 19lbs is fantastic! I re-joined SW yesterday after a really rubbish year, where i've not been to group, not followed the plan and gained 2 stone! :rolleyes: I'm a die hard SW fan and know if i put my mind to it, then it works and i can enjoy life and...

I'm having that problem too as i HATE all photos of myself - OH and DD said there are a couple somewhere, although one is when i was 14 ha ha ha! Not sure that will help unless SW can revery the years too! I'll only have 2 literally to stick on it! And if i am honest they are still much heavier...

Hee hee, Thanks for all your comments :D - i was just surprised i think how many people in group weren't 'aware' of why and how 1/3 of superfree is there. Yep i'm definatley along the right lines, as far as i see it - when i am prepping my meals the amount of veg going in far surpasses the...

A pound is a pound chunk (pssst whats your real name ha ha - feel a bit cheeky shortening too chunks :p! Love the fact that you are still upbeat - hoping i stay that way lol!!! Oh has just made his appointment today for the end of March! Hopefully with me back on plan he'll benefit too and his...

Slow cooked Beef Ragu, and Sw Cheesy Chips, was goooooooorgeous!!!!!

Have it on my list now for next week! :-) xx

We've always lived very much in the sticks, but here is so very different and i think that's as much to do with height as anything! SIL and MIl came over at the weekend. Was SIL's first visit and she kept saying how fresh the air was (and of course how beautiful the views are) but they live in...

Yaaaaaaaay Well done Michelle - a month or not, it's downwards and that is all that counts! Amythyst - snap i am exactly the same, really feeling dd not being at school as i have a twice daily walk up and down steep vallies to get her there and back! Our dog chewed up her harness so she's not...

Hiya Ladies! Wow thanks for all your replies! I only started my diary yesterday - can't even remember what i called it now! Michelle - i've around 5 stone so we are very similar there (in all honesty i could lose 7 to be at my 'ideal very skinny' weight - but i'd like to be where i was 12...

YES - GO FOR IT!!!! SW imho - is brilliant! There are so many free foods that it makes it easier for you to decide what to eat - it gives you a freedom that no other 'diet' does! It's also a far cry from WW and calorie controlled diets - where if like me the last thing you want to waste your...

*****sets new target to be small enough to be packed in to Pogles suitcase in February! :p ***** Thats fantastic !!!!!!! Is it a special occasion or just a fab surprise?? Feeling much much better now thankyou! I'm a real wimp when it comes to being sick, i cry and cry lmao!!! :rolleyes: But...

since i've been around! Had quite alot happening at home, dodgy internet access (grrr) and then we've all had the dreaded sickness bug (but are all better now!) I've stayed the same since i've not been around - wooohhoooo, but wish i'd stayed on track that little bit more! Still i'm 12lbs...

Homemade Mint and Lamb Burgers, topped with Feta and Homemade Tzatziki (fat free greek yoghurt, cucumber and mint mmmm) with salad:D

Hi Guys, Sooooo sorry i've been away! We've had problems with our broadband and we were using a dongle for the internet and that decided to mess about too, then we've all been ill with coughs and colds and the last week all 4 of us have had the dreaded sickness bug! Bleurgh! I've stayed the...

First of all I'm Becca, and a BIG Helloooooo to you all, this is my first time posting in here! I follow the plan at home alone, although have done SW before at group. But this time i'm feeling very happy and focused ;) Well done to you all on your losses this week! Ha ha ha ha Silly...

Well done everyone! This is my first post in here - so firstly Hellooooooo, and i'm Becca - i do SW at home and re-started 5 weeks ago :D Ha ha ha silly sausage - another Nude weigher here :p and another 2lb loss :D It's * week for me too and i'm soooooo happy! I am doing this by myself and...

2lbs is a fab loss - i have to agree though as i've lost 2lbs this week too! Ha ha! Chicken, Mushroom, Mozzarella and Chives in Filo Pastry (6 syns) with Roasted sweet potatoe, courgette and peppers

Wooooop - yaaay another 2lb loss for me this week! Although i had a baaaaaaaaad night last night involving wine and pizza Onwards and Upwards for the rest of this week though! 12lbs in 5 weeks is a great result for me. Clothes are looser, and a few people have noticed - which is always...

Hi Hannah - i bet you enjoyed your day - don't feel guilty! I agree with Mrsnb - flexi day for you ;) - and i'm joining you on that one i had a terrible day yesterday i knew one would be on the horizon as it's * week (sorry Steve) and we ended up with Wine and Takeaway pizza. :eek: - although...

Sweet Potatoes too i think?

Ha ha! I was discussing this with my partner earlier as i never used to when following the plan before, (i've been on and off since my son was born 20 months ago) but i got back on plan just over a month ago and i've been scaled obsessed. It's every other day if not every day for me too -...

Oh sweetie! DON'T GIVE UP!!! ((((HUGS)))) Do you plan your meals? If not perhaps try sitting down one evening and plan your meals for the week ahead, I find this really helps me focus and i make sure i have a very varied and delicious week ahead. Also try looking for some low syn treats...

I couldn't agree more with Sparky here! I'm nearing the end of my 5th week 'back on plan' and have been where you are sooo many times since re-joining in April 09 after having my son. I always used to have these major blow outs which would always begin with a pizza or indian, wine then...

Friday 12th Nov Well not a fantastic day today. Georgia had a bingo afternoon at school and so i managed a liqourice stick, a chewy sweet, a packet of mnm's and a chuba chop lolly!!! And didn't realise i'd demolished those until i sat down to type this :eek: B - Pineapple in Vanilla Activia...

Pffft - don't worry it's better than nothing! ;) Well done you! Enjoy your weekend :D

Wow Mrsnb you have done amazingly - well done you! I hope things start to look up for you again! 5 stone is amazing! I'm lloking at losing 4 stone initially and then will see how much more i want to lose - iykwim! Ha ha Steve, dog walking services? Well if you are ever near North Lincs / East...

Could possible also be your weighing scales? Are you able to nip to a boots and use their scales? You may see a difference? My rules of thumb are to weigh myself at the same time, in the same clothes and to of had the same routine (ie not having breakfast or drinking beforehand etc etc!)...

I'm loving the fact that my trousers already feel loose and that a dad at school yesterday asked me if i was slimming as had lost weight in my face and my jeans looked baggy. But the cheeky beggar asked me to give his wife some tips as she is struggling :eek: i was very embarrased! But to be...

Awwww Hannah, STS is better than a gain - i'm sure it's just from your great loss the week before :D Crikey Steve - brrrrrrrr i'll be thinking of you! It's bracing enough during the day just walking my dalmatians for a few miles and back in the open countryside around here. GOOD LUCK...

Hannah - hope all went well at weigh in! I get terribly nervous too, and i'm really going to have to check that recipe out! lol Well done Steve on your news about the Insulin. My partner was diagnosed diabetic last year and was put on Insulin a few months ago when in hospital due to his heart...

Well done!!!!

Pmsl Steve! Well done to you all on your losses so far! How are you all feeling this week? At the moment i feel i'm doing really well. I have done Slimming World before but since having my baby (well he's 20 months now - so i should write 'since having my little terror ;)) I've been on and...

Oooh me 3 those burgers sound scrummy! Smoked Mackerel Fillet, cold rice and peas with paprika for lunch today

Just bumping :-)

That sounds divine! Mmmmmmmmm yummy!

Hi Just thought i'd bob in and have a nosey! 1.5lbs loss is great, don't let that get you down! When i used to go to group my old SW consultant used to have a lump of some jelly / plastic type stuff that resembled 1.5lbs of fat and it was huge compared to what i thought it would be - so just...

Ooh Anne-Marie i love, love, love cheese! Mmmmm - but i was such a good girl when shopping yesterday and only bought Parmesan, Cheddar and Mozzarella. I so wanted to buy some gorgeous cheeses to have with biscuits but i didn't cave in ha ha! I think we'll get on great (oh and something else we...

Oh Sally! Don't be so hard on yourself! You are ding fantastic! You've lost half a stone :D - that is brilliant. Just stick with it and try and find some exciting recipes so you don't feel like you are forcing yourself to eat Chicken and Turkey! There's plenty of Veggie friendly recipes...

Well done you - that's fantastic! Keep up the good work! xx :D

Ha ha ha bless you! I have to reaaaaaaally fancy a kipper to eat one! SO i think i have maybe one a year - and certainly not for breakfast! Hope you start to feel better soon! x

Ooh thanks for that pizza idea!!! :D Oh and just realised some more saviours of mine! Curly Wurlys, Skips, berries and Penguins ;)

I just thought it would be interesting to see what other members downfalls are (and what they do to overcome them?) and what are your SW Saviours? For me my downfals are: Wine Cheese Chocolate Takeaways Meals Out I'm meal planning now which really helps, i've limited myself to wine on a...

Hi Ruthie, I'm new to this site aswell! I re-started the SW plan 4 weeks ago and am now 10bs lighter :D. I have been on and off since having my 20 month old soon but decided that i really needed to make an effort again and feel fabulous for doing so! I don't attend a group (at the moment)...

Hi Sarah :D I'm also new to minimins and joined here yesterday. I'm a busy mum of 2 aswell with my daughter who is 6 yrs and my little boy who's 20 months. Firstly well done on your loss - you can keep it up! I have fallen off plan too many times to count since having my son (for several...

Hi Karen, I joined the site yesterday and have so far joined an SW team and started a diary and have bumped into loads of nice people. I'm doing SW alone at home - so this place is going to be a lifeline for me! Good Luck

Lemon and Thyme Roasted Chicken, Sweet Potato Mash, Leeks, Peas and Gravy - might have a yorkshire pud for 3 syns??

Thanks Miss Mango and KikiKisses! :-)

Hi Anne-Marie :D Well if you'd like an online slimming buddy i'm all yours! You sound so much like me, i used to be just the same and couldn't decide what plan i was doing that day! I love my meat so tend to do Extra Easy and Red days ;) and because i used to switch too much and end up...

Oooh i soooo miss HIFI bars! They are so lurvely! I cannot attend a local group anymore and i really miss them too! But i doubt there is anyone out in my neck of the woods. Good luck - hope you find your facilitator! x

I do not mean to be so cheeky however i am wondering if anyone would be so kind to post the Beef Madras Receipe that is in the hardback Curry Feast book? I have mastered the most gorgeous Spicy Lamb Balti for us and we have this every week (i make the children an amazing Chicken Korma style...

Sunday 7th Nov 2010 Hello all, :D My name is Becca and i am new to the Minimins forum today. I thought i'd start a diary as over the last 4 weeks i have lost 10lbs - so its a great boost and a brilliant place to be able to read a good loss for motivation in the future. I am 28 and mummy to my...

Thankyou all for the welcomes! I had to change my username as Mini pointed out it was too long - trust me :rolleyes: So i am no longer myparasolwontstopturning and now sealmylips :D A diary is a fab idea - Miss Mango what diet are you following?

You're welcome Mini! :D And thankyou! ;)

I eat LOADS of fesh fruit! Although have never bought frozen and to be honest i miss my berries like crazy! Sooo i think when i go shopping i'll get some! So thanks - ha ha As for free foods, when i first started SW a few years back i couldn't believe Pasta was as always thought carbs were...

Oh i suppose it is a little long :cry:ha it's all i could think of that wasn't taken! Hmmmmmn let me think? Sealmylips Oh2bethinner And THANKS everyone :D

Oh yes, and eating Honeydew Melon and drinking Green Tea!!!

Ooh it depends on my mood! I've only been back on plan the last 4 weeks and am more focused than i've ever been. For me it would be : Taking the dogs for longer walks Writing a food planner for the days ahead Making soup ;) Ore sometimes a nice long hot bath with some Luch products to...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum so first off Hello and i look forward to chatting :D I returned to SW after having my 20 month old son when he was 3 weeks old and then i left group. A the time too many things were happening at home and i couldn't concentrate - unfortunatley i didn't feel too...

Hi Superdoof! I too am new to the forums :-) I've been doing sllimming world off and on for a few years now but in the last 4 weeks i've got back on plan and thankfully lost 10lbs. Try not to be so hard on yourself, i usually find that after a gain i have a decent loss the following two...

Tomorrow will be Vanilla Mullerlight and Muesli for me as we desperatley need to go shopping. Fave brekkies here are Berries and Vanilla Yoghurt Egg on toast (scrambled, soft boiled or poached) Bacon, Beans and Mushrooms Cheese on Toast with Bacon Omelette Weetabix, Milk and Berries

Oooh sorry Lynn I completely forgot that part! :rolleyes: I'm following Slimming World at home and have lost 10lbs in the last 4 weeks :D I really need to lose 4 stone 11 (well 4 stone 1 now ;)) and see how i feel then. I think when i get to that stage i'll hopefully know exactly where i...

Oh yes - i can never leave a bottle of wine with wine still in it! However i have learnt this time around (the last month since i've been back on plan) that if i do this once a week or maybe twice and cut bacl on my syns the rest of the week i am pretty ok (at the moment!) xx

Hello all, My name is Becca and i'm new to this Forum :D I am mummy to my two gorgeous children. My little girl who is 6 and my fabulous little man who is now 20 months. I've been on and off the weightloss journey for a few years now and after reaching my heaviest over a month ago i am...
