My lightbulb moment was December 25th 2013 when my grandaughter was born, she has rocked my world and I never want to be a twenty stone Nanna again; its been a tough year for losing weight but I am lighter than last january and happy now to move on to more weight loss in 2015 - I will be 48 this...

I think the syns calculator is just on the slimming world site / slimming world app; for which you have to be a member.

So with the EE plan its very family friendly and we don't have to tell our children (or anyone else for that matter) anything. We can just say we are following a healthy eating regime, we still have syns to use so can have a treat now and then (I have my treats mostly on the weekend). I know...

its absolutely fine in the quiche, you can't really taste it as cottage cheese once mixed with the other ingredients and cooked off; I love it :)

On the SW website you can get a 7 day meal planner for free (i.e. you don't have to be signed up as member); also an article in Woman magazine this week giving food suggestions and I think its the Mirror news paper today and tomorrow - take a look :-)

I will be looking out for those in my supermarket :-)

Got my voucher ready for Monday eve meeting :-)

off top of my head its skimmed milk 350ml; I dont know for semi-skimmed, I never buy / use it !

Hi, I do an all in one dish pasta bake, I cook off some bacon / soften onion and add mushrooms put it the dish along with tin of tomatoes and dried pasta, garlic and tom puree - add water to cover the pasta and cook for approx 45 mins til pasta soft - if I have my HEa left then I sprinkle with...

I am restarting and attending local group on Monday eve; I have been off plan for some weeks now and feel it in myself, sluggish and tired from all the stodgy xmas foods etc!! Looking forward to having control again of the food I eat and not it having control of me!! Already been looking...

I do my gammon joints either in the slow cooker or roasted in the oven (dry-roasted I never add anything to it); I like it done both of these ways - great served with home made chips and peas or corn on the cob :-)

Even though flavoured ones are synned, they are nice and filling for a lunch - I usually have half of a made up pack. I always check the syn value but on average they are very low, only 1/2 to 2 syns so I think its worth it! I mix with cooked chopped bacon and onion - lovely hot or cold :-)

Your regime sounds good; can I ask what purechimp super tea is please - I have never heard of it!!

OH's can without realising it sabotage our efforts. I don't think they do it intentionally! My husband and I follow the same weight loss plans (usually!), I can cope with restricted carbs etc and have done six weeks on SS/SS+ and have just upped to Step 2, hubby has done the same however he...

Well done on your weight loss :)

Well done Laylalea, thats a fab first weeks loss :)

Deon-1, I am encouraged by your step 3 weight losses; I have just stepped up to step 2 from SS/SS+. Had done 6 weeks with no convential food, but missing food and worried I was going to go off the rails and have a massive binge - so chatted with my counsellor and came to the decision to...

I drink atleast the recommended 2.25l of water and in addition have black coffee or peppermint tea at work. I struggle with cold water tho and prefer mine atleast room temp ;-)

Well Done on the weight loss; keep positive and strong and the lbs will continue to fall away :):)

Hello, it is my understanding you can step up to next step at any time. I have just completed 6 weeks on SS+ and this week (7) have moved up to step 2 so I can introduce a meal. (I haven't been hungry but more missing food) I was worried to continue SS and then end up falling off wagon and...

I have used senakot when I have a 'toilet' issue and its done the job; they key is to keep drinking your water and hopefully it will help. I am on week 7 now and not having any constipation probs now :)

I think you should give it a go; my daughter has lost two and half stone and I am now following in her footsteps as I approach my first stone off! I don't think being a fussy eater will be too much of a problem when you can choose the things you like to eat and have them. With atleast 5 weigh...

I'm agreeing with sparky; don't beat yourself up, we all get ill from time to time. Concentrate on getting better and then you will be able to get back to the plan. Sending you some cyber hugs x
