Been a bit MIA for the last few days. Still been running though, up to Week 6 day 2 tomorrow morning but I'm putting it in now as there is no way I won't get up early and get it done :D Ria - I added you to the list. Good luck on Thursday karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe...

Oh and well done holiday girl!

Sorry! I used an up to date list but had a mare and deleted the top two people. Thought I'd fixed it but obviously failed :( I've edited the post to reflect your loss as on my iPhone. Am I redeemed now?

2lbs off for me this week. I put on a 1lb last week though so going to deduct that :| Yay for my loss this week though :D 10st10lbs - 6lbs to lose - 3lbs lost Susienoz - 5lbs to lose Kirstabubble - 2lbs to lose to stay near to target Belfastbabybear - 7.5lbs to lose ~ 1lb lost Nymple - 7lbs to...

Haha Mandy way to go! I had Rocky come on just as I was finishing a run last week... and got a stitch as I got the giggles :D Week 5 started for me this morning... On top of the Cardio Workout I did on Sunday I ache so much and am so tired today! However I am massively proud of myself...

2lbs off this week for me.. No inches but I'm happy with that :D

Well done Cjnvgn and Mill09 for both managing your first 20 minute runs with seemingly very little fuss! Haha you are both doing fantastic and keeping me motivated. Today I managed Week 4, day 3 but barely. I probably should have stopped in the last two minutes as I started to limp as I was...

Halfway through week 4 for me today. Still a struggle but I'm feeling stronger! Mandy - you just add yourself to the bottom of the list and update it from the most recently posted list as you go along :) Millie - Wowie you are doing well, I keep eyeing up that 20 minute run and am trying not...

Don't Panic! You can do it! My Colleague who is training for the marathon said to me yesterday when I was complaining about the scary 5 minute runs (haha :) ) "Pain is Temporary, Quitting is forever!" Just don't stop :D

I would like to add my tally from the weekend but as I was away I made no effort to do a single one :rolleyes: Haha, this morning I did my usual 50, chip chip chip away at the total :D 3500 KarenHat (150 complete 3350 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (300 complete 2700 to go) 3500 Debridger (805 complete...

Snap! 1lb on but was away at the weekend at a wedding with a fantastic dessert table, I couldn't resist so I deserve the gain. At home for 2 whole weeks now though so no excuse not to get back to 100% as it's been a couple of weeks since I have managed a 100% week :rolleyes: Well done...

Well done you lot. Week 4 just started for me, boy did it hurt. May day 2 on Wednesday be easier :D HPSaucy - very spontaneous of you, well done for finishing :D cjnvgn - Of Course! I'm just starting Week 4, how are you finding it? Sofartogo! - You are doing well, you'll be at Week 4...

Well done too... You did it and you'll do it again soon... and every time, even if it doesn't feel like it, you get stronger ;) I'm still struggling with the 3 minutes! I think I found day 2 harder than day 1 this week, as I had the same expectation, that it would be easier. Lets hope day 3...

I feel only grudgingly pleased with myself because I'm still all grumpy :rolleyes: Haha. It's all about baby steps though. This teeny tiny victory will make me feel awesome tomorrow so I can go on to have a slightly bigger victory... and so on, all the way to target :D It's definitely a help...

I feel like poo tonight, didn't want to follow plan, didn't want to do my sit ups... But I did both so these 50 are a special victory for me. :) 3500 KarenHat (150 complete 3350 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (300 complete 2700 to go) 3500 Debridger (500 complete 3000 to go) 3500 Ela ine (425 complete...

Week 3, Day 2 completed this morning! Got up at 6 to go to the gym :eek: I think I need to stretch more before running as it's my feet and the back of my legs just above my ankle that hurt. I was speaking to a colleague who is training for a marathon yesterday. She started on the c25k and at...

Erm, me too. I was telling my friend that eventually I'd love to run a marathon if I can get into it... baring in mind I'm struggling to jog 3 minutes right now... One of the big bosses overheard and now has given me a load of marathon training books :eek: Feel I should keep my "think big"...

1010, Hopefully that is everyone accounted for and all those who have asked since the last list was posted have been updated. Thatincludes another 50 for me too :D 3500 KarenHat (150 complete 3350 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (200 complete 2800 to go) 3500 Debridger (380 complete 3120 to go) 3500...

Well done Debrider, any kind of more is great! :D

3lbs off for me as well :D I also lost another inch total off various bits of me.

Good to see you back on your feet Margery :D Today I did Week 3, Day 1... It's becoming my catchphrase but... I struggled but I did it. :D

There was two threads last month too and has been for a while as I understand it. No need to stress or close one down, people can join one or both with no bother. :)

Everyone still plodding along out there? I really didn't want to do my run today. I knew it'd hurt more as am at Rich's (bf) and therefore was running in the local park. More impact and :cry: HILLS! I didn't want to let myself or indeed any of you ladies down. Plus I'd had a fantastically...

Haha well done! I'm sure that's more than enough penance.... Have a cuppa and put your feet up :D

50 more down. I am still struggling with the reverse crunches, but that is the area I most need to tone so it's not surprising :) 3500 KarenHat (150 complete 3350 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (200 complete 2800 to go) 3500 Debridger (125 complete 3375 to go) 3500 Ela ine (250 complete 3250 to go)...

I was actually looking forward to my run today. Something that I think I have never done before. I wasn't enjoying it a few minutes in as my feet did hurt lots today but I'm still proud of myself. I finished and feel good now. It was also lovely to have the gym almost to myself by going just...

Hear hear ;)

I struggled with the 30 day shred at first but was chuffed with how quickly my body seemed to change after only a few days doing it. I've only done the banish fat one a few times so it's still a bit of a battle. I've been a bit disheartened by my losses since doing the shred though. Figured...

I reckon I was such a lazy lump before that some of my fat is turning to muscle so whilst I'm noticing inch changes the losses aren't that great but eventually if I keep at it, it'll even out and I'll see better results :D

Which C210k are you planning to follow? My plan is to build up my distance/time then follow the Cool Runnings 10K Beginners Training Program. It has a pre-training schedule which advises what level you should be at before attempting the training program, you see. Plus it starts building in more...

Another 50 down for me. I was planning to do another 50 last night so I can get a bit of a lead down as I have some busy "away" weekends soon and figured I'd need a jump start. However I just was so tired I didn't go anything... I had planned to do Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism...

Another 50 completed this morning for me. I'm rather enjoying this challenge :D As Jennyonaplate said, it's easy to fit in and will build into something worthwhile. Debrider & Jenny, I have updated the list for you... Karen, you confused me so I didn't do yours in case I got it wrong...

I've completed the Couch to 5K before and then got to the end and it kind of petered out as didn't know where to take it. I'm far bigger this time but I have bigger plans too :D Good luck with your swim and I've altered and updated you on the list ;) 3500 KarenHat (75 complete 3425 to...

I'm a little stiff after my first Couch to 5K run but figured it would be worse tomorrow so just convinced myself to do another 50 so I don't lag behind if I feel like a zombie tomorrow! 3500 KarenHat (75 complete 3425 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (50 complete 2950 to go) 3500 Debridger (25...

So I had my gym induction at the busiest time so I ended up cycling for a bit before as there were no treadmills free. Was just going to have a go on the stairmaster and I managed to nab a Treadmill.... I Did It! In some ways I found it easier on the treadmill and in others harder. The run...

Good luck with your weigh in! I hope your efforts show big on the scales :D Fillymum, I'm sure you'll do fine! :D

Well done Sunshine for not giving in :D If you go for an Extra easy day at the Chinese... Boiled Rice is free and Beef with mushrooms 300g is 4.5 as is Chicken in Oyster Sauce 375g. If you are a green person, as I think you might be you could go for Stir Fried Mixed Veg at 6.5 syns for 340g...

Ok so I just managed 50 (25 Crunches, 25 Reverse Crunches) Haha It was a bit of a struggle, but I'm going to the gym to do my first Couch to 5K run tonight so figured I might not want to do crunches when I get home. 3500 KarenHat (75 complete 3425 to go) 3000 Tiphareth (0 complete 3000...

Haha, thanks Karen! I've roped myself into doing that one too :D Anything that helps me slim down this tummy of mine is a good thing, although I might not feel that way when doing them!

In for a Penny, In for a Pound and all that :D Have put myself down for 3500. Although I am going to do a variety of Crunches, If that is ok, of course... Would like to do a mixture of Crunches, Reverse Crunches, Oblique Crunches and (evil) Bicycle Crunches. I have "The Apron" so would...

Hmm, that sounds vaguely familiar ;) Don't stress about next week yet! You worried about Week 2 Day 1 and you're doing brilliantly so enjoy feeling smug and proud of yourself for a couple of days :) I'm sure you will exceed your own expectations again next week. Plus, don't forget the cool...

Thanks Karen. I do prefer running on my own though but with it being so busy and having some dodgy (as well as mean) people near where I live I didn't feel safe with my ipod on. I'll stick to the gym, that way I can run on my own in a safer environment with music :D Well done for completing...

Thank You both, I feel heaps better for just telling people about it, I'd been bottling it up until now. I think even they realised they were being cows as the last thing I heard was "That was really mean". I definitely excuse the French though and have added plenty of my own since then too...

Can I join you all please? I started doing this a few weeks ago (I've been doing the 30 day shred too Margery Dawe :) ) and managed Week 2, Day 1 at my Boyfriends house. However when attempting Day 2 back near my digs in Birmingham City Centre, I encountered three women who proceeded to yell...

Boo, I put on 1.5lbs (Although lost 1.5 Inches, Confused much!). I was expecting it but still not fun to see. Ah Well, I had a jolly good weekend of booze and food so I could cry but I think I'll just take a deep breath, jump straight back onto the plan and into my new gym membership! I hope...

It's a DVD by Jillian Michaels, the Lady Trainer from American and Aussie Biggest Loser. It has three levels of difficulty and each section lasts 20ish minutes, Consisting of various exercises in the way of 3 Minutes strength, 2 Minutes Cardio, 1 Minute Abs, Repeat. I did it for 6 days and...

Not stressed, just good to know. That was the packet I had but I only had 100g for 2 portions so according to the above post I had half of half a syn. :rolleyes: Haha I'll count it as a full half just in case but it's frustrating when products go from being free to synable. Especially as I only...

Thanks very much, you are doing rather well yourself :D Haha it was your user name that gave you away! :D Yeah it is a bit weird... had we not both weighed in on a Monday I might not have noticed you for months. I remember Auntie Tay mentioning your melon boost before and I do that as well now...

Oh and I've added Quorn Chicken Style pieces into the Tex Mex Bake. I just added the tiniest bit more water and it turned out fine that way too.

It depends if you are a canivore or not. Tonight I did not want to cook so I dug out the Quorn Mince and frozen veg. Poured Frozen Onion, Sweetcorn, Pepper and Baby Carrots in a Casserole dish. Added some quorn mince, beef stock and some Worcestershire sauce. Bunged it in the oven for 20-30...

I just bought normal smash. It says improved recipe on it but cream isn't mentioned anywhere so I'm going to assume it's the free one? The only ingredients I recognise are potato and salt. The rest are all chemical sounding :s

Worcestershire Sauce :D

I just made this. As someone who isn't massively fond of baked beans in their original format, I thought I'd give this soup a go as sometimes you just cannot be bothered to cook. I've got a texture thing with beans but have been trying to get over it as they are filling and involve no prep. It's...

Good Luck Sunshine! Well done on giving up the ciggies at the same time. You seem determined so I am sure you can do it :D I'll send you good vibes too though as they can't hurt with something so tough. I forget my second HE's sometimes although I think the book says "choose once or twice"...

It comes to 2 syns... If I have done it right that is Based on the 1 syn = 20 calories thing it also works out at 2 syns

Well done on all the loses this week all, there seem to be lots of big ones, YAY! :D I lost 1.5lbs and 0 Inches. Been a bit of a wobbly week so I'm happy with that, although I am beginning to think that my weight is going to come off much slower the second time around. :rolleyes: Oh...

Good Luck Kate! I hope you get the loss you are hoping for :)

I feel like yesterday I got my groove back. Two things clicked it into place. Firstly Richard, my boyfriend, told me on the phone when I was annoyed with myself and grumpy that he would help me stick to plan all over the weekend. He's kept his word and yesterday, made me the Spicy Chicken...

Boo, it sucks so bad when you work hard and don't see the results. I did however get 2lbs the week after so hang in there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! :)

My boyfriends dad tells me that all the time still, despite my weight losses when I food optimise. Your DH will soon learn that it works :)

I have to say looking forward to telling yourself you knew you could do it, is my favourite thing anyone has written on this thread. Reading that I had the biggest smile on my face. Wicked answer :D

Woo Hoo! So I shakily shook off my downness but I still feel like I wouldn't have much willpower today and for that reason I skipped a colleagues leaving do as I found out there was a free buffet. Mean and selfish but necessary and I didn't really know the guy that well... However I got...

I am looking forward to three things above all else: ~BRA's - To be able to go into an actual Shop (without travelling for miles) and buy a pretty G cup bra without spending £30+ and not feeling like crying when a bra breaks. ~Feet - That they will stop hurting! I have plantar fasciitis...

I haven't got that DVD but I was considering getting it. I've been doing jillian's "banish fat, boost metabolism" and started her 30 day shred two days ago. I like how she doesn't accept excuses. The first day I really struggled but hearing her saying that if a 400lb person can do jumping...

Down I feel pretty down this week and haven't been able to stick to plan. It started after my Monday weigh in... Although I did alright I felt for the effort I had put in and the sheer amount I sweated for the last 2 weeks I should have seen a bigger loss or at least a few inches off. Instead I...

I lost 2lbs yay! and 0.5 inches - Boo. I'm happy with the lbs loss and annoyed at the inch loss. I have worked my butt of with exercise the last couple of weeks and it's, if anything slowed me down with a half an inch loss over two weeks! I felt like my clothes were so much looser and am kind of...

Thanks EmmyLou, I definitely do think I lost inches despite the scales this week. Walking home from work today my comfy big knickers fell down under my trousers! haha Shocking! So glad no one could see but I was still torn between being embarrassed and laughing myself silly :D At Rich's...

I stayed the same. Bit of a bummer cuz I worked hard to integrate exercise this week so was expecting to see a loss of some form :( Oh well, I'm determined it will show next week :D

Blah This week I stayed the same and I don't really know how to feel about that. On the one hand, I worked my butt off and did increasingly strenuous workouts every other day this week. On the other I went over my syns one day this week and 3 days last so it could just be catching up to me.:o...

Thank you very much. It sounds weird but I feel differently about SW and my weight loss now than I did the first time. It feels permanent and almost inevitable this time. It's hard but my bf's dad isn't shaking me as much because of that. By making the move to eat separately, I feel a bit rude...

Anyone know the syns? As it's a Swedish product it's not on syns online and if it has nutritional information, it's in Swedish. Know it has syns as has sugar and E numbers in the ingredients list. If no one knows, should I just treat the same as Ketchup do you think?

Carrot Burgers Today I attempted a recipe I found online for Carrot Burgers. They turned out well, despite a slip with the salt shaker, Oops! I'm impressed. Essentially its carrot (diced and boiled for 5 mins to soften), onion, celery, egg and bran flakes (with sweetner, salt and pepper) all...

These were the only ones I could find online... Toffee Apple Crumbles, twin pack, frozen, 97.5g each - 9½ Syns

I need not have worried. Lost 3lbs and 4 inches. I'm making a promise to myself to have a 100% week this week to prevent the naughtiness of last week catching up with me though! :D Just spent 2 hours at St John's Ambulance training rolling round on the floor and doing CPR.... reckon that...

Whole Multi Pack Days, I know them so well! Although I never intend to do it, it just magically happens after one of those days. I can see it now, Supermarket Syn Liaison Officer - A Pink Lady Style Jacket with SW on the back (so you don't miss her) spouting forth knowledge of syns and...

Haha, that's fantastic! I must admit I've never had anyone say anything whilst I've been skimming through my directory mid shop :D I'm sure she didn't mean to shame you into running from the crisp aisle! lol Sounds like something I would do though... I have an irresistible desire to help and...

I find it useful and I use it in tandem with syns online. Sometimes you just can't get online or... I know this is the height of loserness but I take mine shopping with me sometimes as inevitably I see something which I think is good and want to check there and then before I buy it and find out...

Well Done everyone :D Despite a rough weekend, I lost 3lbs, 4 inches and got my half stone award. Wooo! Very pleased :D Also, Hi Paula! Fancy meeting you here... Haven't seen you since Auntie Tay's 60th! My mum is a naff passer on of news (she thinks she has told us when she hasn't) but I...

Haha, I was thinking about this on the walk home... dreaming about winning the lottery and employing a chef to make me SW meals :D I'm sooo lazy and hate the chopping part! ;) I often wish for SW restaurants in food halls when I'm surrounded by MaccyD's, KFC and Pizza! :rolleyes:

Hi Nanny Jo, I'm thinking of getting a new directory too after a syns mix up on the old one last week. So I asked my mum to find out the price for me :) Thanks Ellie, for beating my mum to it :D

Half a stone in 2 weeks! Check You Out! Well Done, that is awesome :D

I have just spent the weekend at my boyfriends house. He currently lives with his parents and I find it so hard to stick to plan when I go there. His Family are all quite slim and there is chocolate, crisps, biscuits, pies and desserts all over the place. This is made worse by my bf's dad...

I've been looking at the Jamie Oliver recipe for Ketchup in "Jamie At Home" the only thing which looks synful is olive oil and some sugar... If I swapped them for fry light and sweetener, it'd be free, I think. The only other things it has in it is veg and ginger and red wine vinegar.... However...

Sorry it's taken a couple of days to reply but I couldn't find the blooming recipe... and when I finally did it had meat in it as well as chunky veg. I found a totally veg one online but it sounded a bit dull so I'm going to use both recipes to give you a nicer one: Serves 4 - Ingredients...

Oh No So I had a bit of a slip up yesterday. On Tuesday I decided that I would use flexible syns and have oven chips and chicken goujons for my dinner. For the first time ever in my history of slimming world though, I stayed in control. I set a limit and kept count and stuck to that limit. The...

Haha, Unless you had a time machine, that would be impossible since you joined before me! I do declare that I did not copy you either though... We obviously are just both women of taste :D

Yeah that is the basic idea I would say. I did the same yesterday... Those chicken Goujons had been in my freezer calling my name since before Christmas. So I made a conscious decision to flex my syns so I could have a lazy oven cooking only evening. The only other point they say in...

Hi Stacey, just about to go to bed and realised I forgot to ask how your weigh in went? I hope you had another great week :)

Sorry Becci even when grilling... "Free From, Pork Sausages, 454g pack, 56g each EE =3 Red =3 Green =5" <--- From syns online. :(

The frozen ones? Each sausage is R 3.5 or G 6.0

I don't think I'd want to deal with the stress every day to lose extra lbs! Haha I had a mugshot for lunch but didn't fancy it so I bought ww soup 3.5 syns. Still not sure which one I'm going to have though! I think chilli is a nifty idea. My sister did one a while back from the magazine with...

I'm sure you will have great news... I doubt you'll need it but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :D

I lost 3lbs (and 3.5 inches) this week so I think my stressing was for nothing although I'm still going to blame my prescription haha! How goes your week so far? :)

I lost 3lbs and 3.5 inches :D Pretty fantastic. I'm more than stoked! Good luck for tomorrow I hope you do well too :)

Hi xyz, I could make my own but they really aren't as good. I haven't been using many syns any way and mini Twisters (both the choc and fruit ones) are only 2.5 syns. I just need to find somewhere that has them now :rolleyes: Instead I bought myself diet pepsi as a treat. I try to stick to...

Woo Hoo! This week I lost 3lbs and 3.5 Inches :bunnydance: I'm so unbelievably chuffed :D My plan for Sloppy Joes failed yesterday as I wasn't too hungry and felt too lazy to cook so I just made noodles instead. I've just had the Joes now. They were good, although I wish I had invested in...

I'm kind of glad he said something now as it gives me time to get my ducks in a row before getting to the full steam ahead part. I'm slightly concerned I might have endometriosis and it causes problems with conception but slimming helps that too. Although I mentioned this worry to my mum, who...

SynCity - Haha I am the same again (although I only lost 2 stone a few years ago)! The reason I am back on plan is that I had the baby talk with my bf (Proudly informing him, I'd like to be pregnant on my 30th Birthday, haha) and he fessed up to being worried that my weight would cause extra...

Great Plan :) I Weigh on Mondays so pretty similar weigh days too. I'm struggling to keep off the scales too. Last week was my first week, I worked really hard at it and stuck to the plan 100% and I only lost 1lbs and was gutted. It's made my scale obsession worse as I keep wanting to check...

Hi SynCity, I am hoping the forum helps keep me motivated. I noticed that I am at the same weight and height as you :)

Thanks Spanx. As long as I can stay determined... ;) You are doing really well! If I am doing half so well as you in 6 months I shall be pleased and impressed with myself :)

Talkative Today Thanks Judehb :) I have been rereading my old magazines for added inspiration and recipe ideas lately. In the March/April 2009 magazine Margaret's Column bit is "Is your inner rebel stopping you slimming?" whereby when we use words like "should", "must" or "ought" our...

This thread had made my day! I had it in my head that white bread was 5.5 to 6 syns :eek: Over the Christmas period I got a bit addicted to white bread cheese sandwiches with a pack of Pom Bear so now I've realised: 2 Medium Slices of White Bread - 8 Syns 1 tsp of VLF Marg - 0.5 Syns...

Thanks Maverick, I hope so!

I like Nandos but mostly for the reason that what I normally order comes to 14.5 syns :D You are having a blah evening. Stay in, have a glass of wine and watch a film that makes you smile (love actually always works for me) haha or indeed a chinese :). That photo is pretty decent motivation to...

'lo Everyone, I'm Nym, I'm 28 currently residing in Birmingham, I want to lose 5 and a half stone. I'm an emotional eater with crisps being my danger area :p I did SW a few years ago and lost a few stone and was overjoyed. Then work changed my hours and I could no longer attend group and...

Maverick - Haha, we are silly... it's still a loss. Although I am still sulking about it a bit but in a cheerful not going to hold me back way! I always used to aim for 10 syns the first time round with SW as inevitably when I remembered the ketchup I had on my slimming world chips or other...

I've just made Tomato soup for my lunch... I used a HEa and melted some cheese into it, was scrummy :) Is it the one from the Nov/Dec magazine? With Red Onion in it? I was speaking to my sister about SW and if she could see a reason I didn't do well the first week... and she highlighted that...

Sure you'll do fine! Good luck :)

Thanks Irene :) I haven't yet but I intend to... eventually when I stop getting distracted reading everyone else's posts.

Woo Hoo! Well Done! 4.5lbs is fantastic... YAY! :D Hopefully my Weight Loss will be good this week after last weeks silliness. I don't think aiming for 2.5lbs is bad unless you do what I did last week where I was aiming for 2-3... only lost 1 and felt utterly dejected. To the point where it...

Dessert Recipe Yogurts, Lemon Cheesecake, Red Fruit Cheesecake, Strawberry Tart, Toffee Apple... All 0.5 syns... haha not high at all, yay! :)

I definitely think it's easier to be honest with other people than with yourself, especially online too. I keep meaning to start a diary on here but then get distracted by other peoples posts! I'm guessing you'd recommend it? Haha yeah I discovered the app for my iPhone and find it hard not to...

Yeah you do get 15 syns a day. I do find with a lot of diets though that forward planning and preparation are key though. I'd always say it's worth a try but I love it. My mother in law did it with me first time round and she's a paramedic with very odd hours and skipped breaks etc and she...

Mission Deli Multigran Wraps are 9.5 syns each. A bit steep but there are alternatives... If you shop at Asda their Wholemeal Pitta Breads can be used as a healthy extra (b). Small brown bread rolls are also HEb Alternatively my friend used to buy the Tesco Roasted Vegetable Cous...

The directory does only seem to have with whipped cream. However, if you look in your food optimising book.... Cream - whipped - 1 level tbsp = 3 syns on all days... So a tall Hot Choc with skimmed milk and no cream would be around 17 syns. Obviously doing it this way isn't an...

3.5 per slice on R, G or EE :)

Well done for being brave enough to try again Kirsty! Haha, I just snuck a look at the magazine and you look fantastic. I did well a few years ago on SW (not quite as well as you though) and restarted on the 3rd Jan. My first week I worked my bum off and only lost 1lbs and 0 inches. I was...

You are welcome! It's nice when it isn't as bad as you were expecting :D

According to the book: Eat Smart Diet, Tomato & Mascarpone Cheese Pasta & Sauce, made up as Directed, dried: per 100g cooked its R 5.0, G or EE 0.5 Hope that's the one you were after :)

I use a lot of my syns in cooking eg a small amount of salami or some honey or Schwartz lemongrass, Ginger and coconut paste in stir fries. Also condiments, like ketchup or extra light Mayo! If I have syns left after I'll sometimes have some chocolate or crisps but I generally wait till I...

Thanks Lynn! I'm glad I didn't react negatively too, I think I needed a little nudge from someone to get my head in the right place. Sorry your partner isn't more supportive. Your weight loss is amazing! I think you must have had amazing determination to stick at it. It's pretty inspirational to...

Hi Stacey, Thank you. My first time round with SW, I remember worrying that I wouldn't loose or that I was doing it wrong but I think I lost 4lbs. I'm sure you'll have lost if you are sticking to the plan, let me know how you get on. I have between 4-5 stone to lose so we are in the same...

Thanks Lola. Good Luck with yours too. Lets hope we both stay determined :)

This Forum is fantastic. I've been lurking for about a week since I decided to restart SW, but figured I should bite the bullet and post! I lost a couple of stone a few years ago with Slimming World then not so much fell as leaped off the wagon into laziness and a vat of junk food. I realised...
