Day 6 I am going to write off due to the fact I handed my food diary in to my consultant to check over and, 2 days later, I can't remember for the life of me what I had!! Day 7 Breakfast:- Diet Irish Yogurt and a banana 350ml of skimmed milk Lunch/tea:- Slept in until 14:00pm so only had...

Just 2lb for me =[ Justjudith - 10lbs (2.5lbs lost, 7.5lbs to go) Wilkin87 - 8bs (0lbs lost, albs to go) *Shanny* - 12lbs (0lbs lost, 12lbs to go) The Moog - 14lbs (0lbs lost, 14lbs to go) loobieluck - 14lbs (2lbs lost, 12lbs to go) HBB - 12lbs (7lbs lost, 5lbs to go) Miss V - 8lbs (1lb lost...

Hey all, I lost 2lbs. A little disappointing as I stuck to it 100% but I'm forever a slow starter so it should catch itself up xx

Hey all, had my first weigh in last night and I lost 2lbs. A little disappointed but I'm a slow starter when I lose weight, so should catch up with itself over the next few weigh ins =] xx

Well done, that is amazing!! xx

Well it's my first WI tomorrow and I'm really worried. Previous times of being a member at SW see me losing no more than 1 1/2lb - 2lb in the first week. There's absolutely no explanation to it either as I follow the plan to the book. Shall just have to see. I look forward to seeing...

Doesn't sound very nice though, does it? lol xx

It all depends on what you like but I add frozen mixed berries to my shop every week, low fat fromage frais (which is syn free), quark, sweetener, herbs and spices (to add a bit of flavour to dishes that especially need it), cous cous is always a good one to have in the cupboards, 98% fat free...

I always follow EE days now. I've found before that eating carbs the day before a weigh in always leaves me feeling bloated =[ Keep your chin up though, I'm pleased you did alright =] xx

Well done to everyone =] It's my first weigh in tomorrow and although I probably deserve a big loss, going by previous weigh ins I never lose more than 1.5lb =[ It's in the weeks to come I lose more. Absolutely no reason why because I've followed the plan to an absolute T!! Oh well xx

I have a rough target set on here, however realistically I reckon I need to lose 7-8 stone. I would love a buddy if anyone is interested? Especially the person who started this thread. It would be good to keep each other motivated, etc. xx

A loss is better than a gain, however I have a feeling that I will be writing a similar thread to this tomorrow =[. From past first weigh-ins I always lose the least out of the group I attend...I then tend to lose 2lbs plus the following week, and so on. So, don't be disheartened, just do your...

Day 5 Well I've had a bit of a busy(ish) day today, and made a trip to Iceland with some loose change I mustered in one of my bags...resulting in some food for tea!!! Got my first WI tomorrow, would say I'm hoping for a 4lb loss, however if my past weigh-ins are anything to go by I'll...

The best thing about this recipe is you put more sweetener in depending on your taste. It is important it's left a few hours in the fridge too. I love this recipe. My last consultant shared it with us xx

Day 4 Hmmm, today I've not felt really well so not eaten so much...had my syns though, hehe!! Breakfast:- 28g porridge oats, 350ml skimmed milk (getting a bit bored of this mix, lol), Banana. Lunch:- Cottage pie - made with extra lean beef mince, mashed potato and mashed sweet...

Nice idea =] I'm new to this site, so it's nice to know a little more about the people on this board. What's your name? Louise, but feel free to call me Lou. How old are you? I'm 27. When's your birthday? 25th August. Where do you live? Headingley, Leeds. Are you married, single...

=[ What is the world coming to? xx

Actually just found the KFC recipe... thanks for opening my eyes up to it though =] Best of luck xx

...just wondering if anyone has any they wouldn't mind sharing? I'm ridiculously poor at the moment. But made sure I can attend SW as bought a countdown with my JSA. Thanks Lou xx

That looks gorgeous!! How many syns for the whole thing? Also, how do I make the southern fried chicken effect?! So glad I came to see your diary, it's wonderfully insightful :) xx

Day 3 I've had a funny sort of day today - not been out anywhere, so had to make do with the dwindling contents of my cupboards and fridge :( I hate this unemployedness malarky :( Had an experiment which I will not be repeating again, the 'Spanish' omelette didn't taste all that :rolleyes...

...well I thought I would start a fresh thread in anticipation of my first WI after joining, which is coming up fast on Tuesday. I feel quite nervous about it...I mean, I think I've eaten well but I hate the feeling of not losing as much as the other newbies - this pretty much always happens to...

I can't have fromage frais without sweetner etc, lol... I have a massive sweet tooth! May try the WW one then, the Tesco one isn't nice unless I put plenty of sweetner in it! Ahhh, think I have heard of Dishforth before :) Any time, I hope I helped. I confuse myself a lot of the time :p xx

I guess things being 1/2 a syn is quite negligible...that is until maybe those small differences would make the difference in losing weight and staying the same. When I was a member before a lady never syn'd up a yogurt which was 1 syn...and her weight stalled, similarly to those who don't...

Hey Jan, nice to meet you :) I was thinking it could be the introduction of more fruit. Usually I would eat a fair bit of vege but not fruit...now I'm trying to eat a lot of fruit as an alternative to snacking on crisps, etc =] Will see how my bowels are in a few weeks, as I should hope my...

Hey again :), Where abouts do you live? I'm sure it will be a loss...for a start, first weeks usually are ;) I've just had a quick look and the fromage frais I order - Tesco Light Choices Natural Fromage Frais is free, just checked the Syns online section of the SW website and the only ones on...

Day 3 Became a bit stuck today when looking through my cupboards and fridge/freezer...not much food in to add variety to my day, so my diary is a bit random to say the least (especially tea lol). Stomach has been a bit off today, not sure if it's because I'm eating more fruit :confused...

Thank you missfatpants, good luck to you too :) I am also on Extra Easy - I don't see the point dilly dallying with red and green days, especially when it comes to convenience eating etc :) Keep me posted on your success, we'll get there together :) xx

:d'oh: erm, 1pm!!! I had a terrible sleep though, and had a pretty bad headache last night and early on this morning :( I'm trying to be organised, that way I don't eat naughty foods :p Thank you =] xx

Just wondering what the general opinion about this is? I re-joined Slimming World on Tuesday and weigh in at a clinically obese 18st 1.5lbs :(. Since the age of 13 I have never been under 12 stone...and I have a big bone structure, so not sure the BMI's recommended range of 9 1/2 - 10 1/2 stone...

Not had chance to read through this thread, but just wanted to say that I hope everyone is doing okay. If you're not, don't despair...just get back on the plan and keep trying =] Lou xx

Day 2 Not had a bad day at all today, I had a massive de-clutter of my cupboards the other day...and now find I am pretty much syn-free!! So, I went to and bought some Snack-a-jacks just to make sure I'm having enough syns a day :). Breakfast:- 28g porridge oats (healthy extra 'b') 275ml...

Thanks for the advice ladies, I shall be sure to check out all products recommended =] Maybe Aldi is more in my price range atm xx

Thanks Donna :) I always have a good idea what I'm going to eat, cooking my lunch right now actually as I had the biggest lie-in I've ever had, oops!! I shall put the completed diary on later =] xx

You can make it to your sweet taste too...I love this on berries =] xx

That sounds like a good food diary =] Keep up the good work xx

Thanks, you too =] I shall have a gander at your food diary xx

250g QUARK 500G LOW FAT FROMAGE FRAIS SWEETNER TO TASTE VANILLA EXTRACT TO TASTE Mix all the above together, and whip until nice and thick, then refrigerate for a few hours. This mixture is absolutely gorgeous with mixed berries or other varieties of fruit. I hope you all like it :D xx

Breakfast:- 2 x Weetabix (healthy extra 'b' choice), 350ml Skimmed Milk (healthy extra 'a' choice), Banana. Lunch:- Jacket Potato, Chilli Con Carne (have synned this as 8 syns...was eating out in Debenhams and they don't do beans :eek:, and I thought cheese would be much higher...

I've heard that it's important not to eat too many carbohydrate food stuffs the day before, and none at all the day of a weigh in. My weigh ins on a Tuesday at 7pm, but she weighs people AFTER group therapy...odd!! Any advice would be splendid =] xx

Just wondering how everyones weigh ins went today? Did you go to class? How did you feel? I weigh slightly more than I thought I was, but not much so no massive surprises...phew!! Not going to set a target yet, I've never been below 13 stone in my adult life (I'm over 18st now), so going to...

Hey all, I have re-joined SW and my weigh in days are Tuesdays now. I shall update with my weeks progress next Tuesday :) Hope everyone is happy with their progress so far. xx

I had knee surgery at the beginning of December. I was meant to have a full reconstruction of one of my ligaments, however the ligament in question has joined (somehow) to another ligament and the surgeon wants me to have re-hab as though I've had the operation for the ACL reconstruction. I had...

That is AMAZING!!! They are so creamy and gorgeous!! xx

These ones =] xx

Anyone know of the syn value of the 'Diet' yogurts?! xx

Thank you :) I didn't really pay attention to my syns before, so one day I'd have none, the next 13, the following 8, then none etc. The syns are there for a reason so I plan to utilise them well :) I've got bananas, oranges and apples in already, and some mixed fruit berries to put with...

Now thats a new one.... lol xx

I think I shall purchase some of those for next weeks shop =] Thanks ladies xx

Good luck everyone, let me know how you get on =] Special offers - Joining a group - Slimming World it's half price membership anyway =] xx

Just wondering, as I'm re-joining tomorrow. Previously I used to save my syns up if I knew I were going out, other times I'd drink regardless but stick to spirits. Lou xx

I am sooo nervous!! Last year, before stopping going for a knee injury I sustained (bad, bad excuse I know), I lost just short of 3 stone in less than 5 months. I'm not wanting to lose as fast this time, as before I cut the corners a fair bit in relation to missing out syns etc. Anyone else...

Thank you =] xx

Thank you =] I'm not really feeling it with Muller Lights atm. I go through phases of loving it, and hating it...and right now I don't fancy them at all lol. With the quark and the fromage frais, and using some sweetner and vanilla extract I have in the cupboards I'll whip up something and put...

I've scheduled my Tesco order to come in the afternoon, and I'm re-joining SW tomorrow evening. I've got quite a lot of cupboard staple foods - so quite a lot of passata, tins of tomatoes, cous-cous, noodles and pasta. I'm cutting out bread completely, it's my biggest downfall, so I'm best not...

Thanks Anne, that is fantastic. Just to confirm - is that for the entire contents of the jar? xx

This is for the Tomato, Basil and Garlic pasta sauce product. xx

I'm re-joining SW tomorrow, so don't have access to the syns calculator or the syns directory at the moment. The jar is 350g and, per 100g, contains:- Energy:- 296kJ/71kcal Protein:- 1.8g Carbohydrate:- 7.8g of which sugars:- 6.9g Fat:- 3.2g of which saturates:- 0.5g Fibre:- 1.6g...

This is a fab thread, thanks xx

I graduated in July 2010 and haven't been able to work since - I had a debilitating accident, but have since had an operation and now back on my feet I'm actively job seeking and hope that I wont be jobless for much longer. I weigh around the 18 stone mark and I know that I need to go back...

Although I get ID'd constantly, and told I look about 19...I can see the wrinkles appearing, mostly 'frown' marks I must add. My beauty regime, at the moment, consists of using a facial wash twice a day, some e45 cream because my skin goes dry and occasionally some moisturiser on my legs...

Well done for going =] I'm sure you will shift that 3lbs in no time!! Keep smiling and I hope you're feeling better soon. xx

Thank you ladies =] I wish you all the best of luck in your weight loss journey =] I shall keep posting, I'm actually looking forward to re-joining on the 4th January. I have my Tesco shop booked in for that day, full of healthy foods. I know some amazing recipes but there's definitely always...

Okayyyy, so I've just worked out that 50lb is actually 3 1/2 stones....I lost that in 6 months earlier on this year, so I think in 4 months it's pretty unrealistic for me. Can I reduce mine to 25lb instead please? And anything extra is a bonus. xx

Thankfully I have helpful neighbours who help me out when I'm not at home (i,e at my partners). I have 2 cats under a year, and 4 rabbits. The cats are really sociable as it is, but play together...the rabbits, as long as they have plenty of food and water (the hay replenished twice a day...

I'm so glad my cats aren't the only ones, my kitten tabby more so than my other boy!! Seamus will climb on me if I'm in the bath, and paw at the water...when he gets it on his paws he'll flick it out. If I leave the bathroom door open he will sit in the bath in the water puddles!! He prefers...

I'd definitely go =] You know in yourself you'll have gained...so there'll be no unhappy surprises. I think the consultants have more respect for people who go, and especially who stay to class, when they know they haven't had a good week. Just say to yourself, after class, that you will do...

Hey, am I okay to join your team? I have a lot more weight to lose than you lot so far =[ I have around 7 stone to lose. Although, in my adult life, I've never weighed less than 14 stone so don't know how I'd look weighing less. As it stands (and this isn't 100% accurate) I weigh around 18 stone...

Thanks, I'm excited now =] xx

I hope I'm okay to join in? I am re-joining SW on the 4th January as that's the next weigh in for my local group. pudge- 90lbs to go! -18, 72lbs to go! Miss Mango: 50lbs to lose = 4lbs lost, 46lbs to go! mistysmummy 59.5 lbs to lose -10, 49.5lbs to go! WelshCake 37 to go! 34 to go! SammyE: to...

I'm re-joining Slimming World on the 4th January, and I expect a decent weight loss for my first weigh in...then it drastically slows down (if past weigh-ins are anything to go back). Therefore I shall pledge to lose a whole 14lbs in January, with any more being a massive bonus =] As I am new...

I hate clothes shopping!! Knowing that, even as a teenager, my clothes had to be bought from Dorothy Perkins...and now, as a 27 year old, the formal clothes I have to wear for interviews etc have to be purchased from the likes of Evans - when other people are much slimmer and have always been...

Hey everyone on MiniMins, I'm new to this website but I have heard a lot about it and thought maybe this forum will be the difference between me sticking with a weight loss regime than falling off of the bandwagon....like I usually do :( This past year, for example, I lost 2 stone and 13 1/2...
