I hadn't heard of this until I read this thread, bought the caramel one today and it's lovely! Thanks everyone. :-)

Honk! 6 syns :-)

Honk! 6 syns :-)

You have to send it to yourself as an email to your kindle address, which should be in your settings! I've only had mine a week so not tried it yet!

I had monthly stay in lenses for about two years, they were brilliant. Waking up and being able to see was great! I had to stop wearing them tho as I got a scratch on my eye, which turned into an ulcer. I think they recommend that you take them out once a week or something to give your eyes a...

I liked your gentle hugs comment, it's something I say quite often to my friend who is very poorly with fibro. I know that it's difficult sometimes to follow any plan when your head is full of wool so I second the making things when you're able to to have when you can't! I can recommend ryvita...

I've tried it with the coconut muller and it's lovely! Also I'm not keen on making it big oats, it doesn't taste as nice! But that may be a texture thing!

Honk for yesterday!

Honk :-)

You have to be careful, I had a kit but the mushrooms didn't grow, but flies did! Little fruit fly type things! They then invaded all my houseplants and killed my carefully nurtured 8 yr old money tree! :-(

It's not embarrassing at all, you've done brilliantly and it shows the rest of us that it's possible! I think you're a marvel! :-)

I just wanted to say that you've inspired me to start swimming again! It has taken me until yesterday to find a swim suit that fits and won't have too much of me wiggling about but I'm going back to the pool after the bank hol weekend! So thank you for being so positive, your determination makes...

I've made egg curry before, tomato pasta with bacon, fajitas, anything you would cook on the hob at home. I've done entire weekend on sw while camping and it can mean a bit of effort but it is doable! Breakfasts are usually old faithful fry up, or eggy bread, with mushrooms, beans! Have fun! :-)

Now that is an NSV, that age is very difficult to tire! :-)

I had my diabetic review today and all went well, the nurse reckons with a bit more weight off and carrying on eating well I may be able to come off meds! Whoo hoo!

Yes, the yoghurt will thin it back down again, I use a muller in mine, I find thicker yogs don't seem as nice!

I have a fitbug, which is pretty accurate but has a monthly fee as it's online and does lots of wizzy stuff!

I've had mine just over a year and I love it. It is cool, and much cheaper than gym membership.

Its only a buyers Market tho if you have a big deposit. As a single person there's no way I could get a mortgage on my salary!. I do choose to live in the sunny south mind but it's still impossible to buy. Now where did I put that lottery ticket?! :-)

When I was a kid we used to just break off a stick of rhubarb, wash it ( sometimes) and eat it raw. Mind you i believe there may have been dipping in sugar involved! Which I wouldn't recommend now! :-)

I always wondered what OP meant, thanks for asking and answering lol!

Well done, I had trouble dragging myself out for a walk last night and it was just dark so going out in horrible weather shows how determined you are! :-)

Magic porridge (thread somewhere on here, sorry I don't know how to do links on iPod) or boiled eggs keeps me going from 8am till 1pm!

Just about to leave to go to the college for a manicure! I don't do this often but my mum has come to visit so we're having nails done this am and hair cuts this afternoon! :-)

Brilliant news! Congrats!

You're welcome! :-)

No they aren't free they are a hex b, it's just that if you only have two of them they speed your weight loss rather than having 4 which gives you plenty of fibre!

That seems to be the way this time is going for me! I've lost weight on SW before but was so strict that I did it for two months, lost two stone, fell off the wagon and put it all back on and some! This time it's taken me lot longer to get to nearly stone and a half off but I'm not losing...

You can have either, if you have 4 it's an ff in the fibre stakes or if you have 2 it's helps with something else! Sorry I'm in bed and books are in the other room. In a nutshell you can do either ands a hex!

There are a couple of web sites that will let you add the ingredients and the serving size and it will you a calorific value that you can work out syns for, I use myfitnesspal.

I've been back to the same group and they were happy to see me! It is hard but you have to think of yourself and if your old/new group is going to keep you more motivated it's worth biting the bullet and going back!

I agree no one has ever suggested that you must eat the whole hex except when I've read it on here! They may also have suggested not having two a's the same as a variety/mixing it up thing! They do like a bit of variety they do! :-)

I agree that the search on the I phone app isn't great! I only discovered MM because of the app and have only been on the web once! I don't do the 'sent from my iphone' thing cos I don't think anyone really cares! There are prob more people than you think using it!

going back to the shop assistant who told me " we dont stock large sizes" and punching her in the face.. I so know where you're coming from!

Good luck with weigh in and I hope it all get easier as you get to know it. I have to agree with the 'planners' I plan every week after weigh in for the following week, it keeps me going if I don't have to obsess about what I can have and it keeps costs down!

Tesco and sainsburys both have offers on laughing cows at the moment if its a cost thing! Not sure about own brand cos of the variation in fat content!

It was suggested I wore two for extra support... I just get annoyed because people with big boobs apparently don't need sports bra's... Or nice bra's with support! Unless they 50 quid or more a time! Bah! :-)

Brilliant!

I gave up smoking last year with patches and an inhalator! It works, that's why the docs give them away! I did a full course of patches (3 months) and then carried on just using the inhalator. I'm coming up to a year in April and would recommend using anything that stop smoking services offer to...

You could have some sort of competition to give them away! Or maybe even go leave them on a neighbours doorstep, ring the bell and run away! :-)

That made cackle with laughter! :-)

SOTW is supposed to be highest loss of week, if it's not your first weigh in or you didn't gain the previous week. However I have heard of many variations on a theme and even my understanding might be wrong!

The fibre plus bars (which I think are a hexb) are pretty spectacular and taste very chocolatey! Only one but worth it!

Thank you guys, it's nice to know that people have been and are going through similar stuff and they get through it! Ooh I feel all warm inside!

I was diagnosed last year as type 2 and spent a good six months faffing and not doing much about it! I was Ill with labrinthitis too but its still not really a brilliant excuse to do nothing! Anyhoo I've now lost my first stone of many and you've given me hope that I can reverse it too! So thank...

Lol! :-)

I'm pretty sure harvester used to do a SW menu at one time, but then they stopped, mind you their new menu makes it quite easy to SW without to much hassle! And no I don't work for them, it's just nice to have one place to eat without worrying too much!

Brilliant, made me cackle!

I just got walk by catalogued on my way from shops, and was nowhere near the Argos! It is good to browse with a cup of tea tho! Somehow the interweb just isn't the same!

I have them with laughing cows and some of the lovely red onion chutney that's on another thread! Hmmmm!

Hi, I won the slimmer of the week basket this week at class (very chuffed) but it had pilchards in tomato sauce in it. I've never eaten a pilchard in my life and I'm not a great fish fan, so looking for suggestions on what to do with it... Apart from putting it back in the basket next week! :-)

It's generally yoghurts with pink in them, for no apparent reason strawberries just aren't pink enough so they cochineal them!

Not being blonde I couldn't comment but I'm fairly sure my neighbours heard my lol!

I wondered what VLCD meant! Ta for that! :-)

Bio oil is good but not cheap!

Well done on doing both at around the same time. I gave up smoking last year and put on even more weight than I already needed to lose. I find the support on here good for whatever ails you! :-)

Lol, I thought it was a B word but that works too! Suppose it depends on how many vodka diet cokes the person telling it had had! :-)

There were a couple of magazines with free joining or offers on them, even with buying the mag it's prob still cheaper!

I'm pretty sure pig wasn't the word used when I last heard that joke! Lol! Made me cackle tho! :-)

I buy the small tins... And then had two for breakfast because one just didn't look enough in the pan! :-)

So I tried chutney, it was spectacular! I had it with gammon, sw roast potatoes, roast mushrooms and peppers, pineapple and a poached egg! Lush! :-)

This sounds lovely and possibly slightly less 'tart' than the half jar of pickled onions I ate the other day! Guess I'm off on a vinegar search tomorrow!

I had to throw my scales away to stop myself weighing incessantly. They were rubbish anyway even tho they were digital and not cheap! Now I wi at class and that's it, stops the anxiety! :-)

I use it for everything, anything you'd use a baking tray for you can use a stone for. You need to season it first tho, cook something on it with fat in it ( not ideal for SW) and don't wash it up, rinse off with hand hot water and use the little brown scraper to get stuff off. Sorry for the...
