:sigh: Well, I knew there would be damage after my weekend of stuffing my face and there it is! Could not be angrier with myself and am putting myself up here as an example of what can happen when you eat for europe over the best part of a weekend. DONT DO IT. I will lose the extra (and...

Thanks everybody I have been for a 3 hour hike today and been very careful with my food. A couple more days being good and I'm sure I can cancel out the damage. Weigh-in should have been today but I chickened out. Am going to get on the scales tomorrow and update my weight regardless...

Thanks MrsWilsoncroft - I have put my food diary on day 1 and will go forward from today. Luckily I had a good week last week so hopefully havent undone all my loss... Gonna be brave and get on the scales in the morning xx

You wont be able to kick yourself if you chop off one of your legs, unless you are incredibly flexible!! Ha ha - that has made me smile... You are absolutely right and thanks for your words of encouragement Madammelaminx. I will feel more positive after a few days being good xx

We were told at lunch time last Friday and, everyone who accepted (they were voluntary redundancies), finishes today at close of business so there was little time to get used to the idea. The problem was we were told that compulsory redundancies may follow and, if they did, we would get a lot...

Went off plan big time this weekend and feel so disappointed with myself :( I could kick myself but am going to be 100% all this week to try and undo the damage. I have got my holidays in June and feel so demotivated now. Im thinking the only way for me to lose a stone is to chop one of my...

Some nice recipe's. Thanks Honey x

He he... that's one of the healthiest binges I have heard of. I am feeling proper chuffed this morning now though - could of so easily been a disaster last nite ;) Thanks again x

Thanks everyone. I have actually been quite good... considering. I treated myself to a g & t (slimline tonic) so hopefully haven't done much damage. Haven't eaten anything I shouldn't so, although the SW wagon rocked a bit, I didn't fall off. Coljack your words really bought me to my senses -...

just been given redundancy notices at work. i'm already wondering where the bottle opener is :rolleyes:

Hello Clare and welcome xx

That looks like my kinda tin!

Good luck Paul - although Im sure you wont need it. The plan works so - if you stick to it- you won't go far wrong! x

Thanks x

Thanks x

Please can somebody give me the idiots guide as to how to get the little blue 'Facebook' icon on my profile? Thanks in advance x

Hi Mandie - I'm the same , just starting the second week :) I also intend to start fitting in some walking as I am certain that it helps - specially if you are doing 4 and a half miles - thats a fair old trek! You are doing brilliantly considering you have stopped smoking too - well done! I...

I will stick with it - its just making me feel a bit negative (even though I am sure it will pass). Yesterday I had: B'fast - Small portion of Veg frittata and some tomato. Lunch - Canelloni (with cottage cheese/spinach) and salad. Dinner - Veggie shepherds pie and veg. 2 Pieces of fruit and 2...

Feeling Fat,Frumpy and Fed up and I don't know why?? Nearly 2 weeks in and I feel so bloated it is uncomfortable. Haven't eaten anything I shouldn't and have made sure I have drunk enough water. Its not TOTM but my tummy is quite swolen and I feel like I have actually put weight on. Will it...

I only have the original Food Optimising book (and am doing this alone without attending a group) so could somebody explain the main differences in the EE plan as opposed to the original green/red plan please? Thanks x

Aw well done you!!! Thats brilliant x

I thought it was too good to be true but, if you follow the rules, it definitely works! Good luck x

A World of Healthy Recipes | Recipes & Ideas for the Slimming World Plan This link contains several ideas for buffet food - including SW dorito's and dips. Everything is syn counted too. Hope you have a great party x

I'm hoping to lose my weight over 6 months but its just a 'bench mark'. I think we just have to accept the rate at which our bodies lose the weight as we are all different. Main thing is to keep motivated and keep working towards our goals. The SW way of eating is so healthy and it is beneficial...

That must be so frustrating, specially when you know in your own mind that you have stuck to the plan 100%. Also slightly patronising of your SW consultant not to sympathise. Only thing I can think of is your body must be changing - toning up and turning fat into muscle. Why don't you take...

Jen, thanks for the tip which I will definitely use next time. I'm on green so potatoes are free too which makes it even better! x

Not sure as I have never tried. However - if I had to guess - I would think they would possibly fall apart as the couscous swells quite a bit and (being full of liquid) it is quite squidgy. I did meatballs for the kids last week and just mixed my meat (I used quorn mince), some wholemeal...

You'll be fab. 3rd time lucky :) xx

Thanks Cat x

Pack of 2 - please could someone give me the syn value of these? Thanks .

well im a bit of a saddo cose I got no1 to enourage me or support me - just all you lovely people on this site :) at the end of the day I am losing the weight for 'me' so only have myself to answer to. xxx

mmm that pudding sounds well nice :)

Ha ha Tinsel - YES!! Margorie Dawes lol

That is just wrong on every level! I am asking myself how she can be so unprofessional and get away with it! Thank goodness you know how the plan works cose, if you had to rely on her information, you wouldn't get the best out of it! She sounds a nightmare

For people who aren't too keen on the quorn mince I have heard that you can substitute just half the meat when making stuff like chilli. I haven't tried it but apparently it doesn't make much difference to the taste but obviously reduces the fat content down a little. x

Good luck everybody - may the scales be kind and reflect all the good work you have all put in. x

I am also aiming for 2lb a week. I want to be slim and healthy for my holidays in Italy this year. I made a promise to myself last year that I would never be fat again on holiday as it spoilt it for me. Good look with your goals x

Thanks Bee ------ oh I miss Lydl. We only got 2 supermarkets on the island and never get any bargains :(

No, sorry. I thought I saw it advertised as being on again tonight but was wrong. I really enjoyed it - like the American one too. Think it is just a weekly thing. Yes I was surprised that they lost as much as they did but suppose the programme is very well edited to make it more...

Ah - what a shame :( The other couple was annoying me - the ones hoping to start a family. Couldn't believe he was in bed!! Think it's on again tonight too x

I'm sure you have both done brilliantly - good look girls x

Ooooh I missed the very end - who was sent home??? Did anybody see it?

I'm doing green permanently but have just realised I haven't been using all my syns. I'm not attending a class and thought, until I read this post, that the syns weren't obligatory. Maybe they are??

The chips are lovely - plenty of variations on the site - but basically they are par boiled then cooked in the oven with spray light. They turn out surprisingly good... and syn free, doesn't get any better than that. Not seen anything along the pizza line though - then again that would be too...

well done for jumping back onto the SW wagon! sounds like you are mentally back in the zone for undoing the damage. hope you had a fab holiday by the way!:D

Full week on green and down 6lbs. A big thank you to everyone who has helped during my first week x

I know what you mean. I was won over immediately I tried the SW chips. They are well nice :) My mentality be4 was that, if I ate the tiniest thing, I would have ruined the 'diet' then would stuff my face until the next Monday to start afresh (every1 knows diets only work if they start on...

crikey you could nearly fit two of you in there now :) well done! x

Hello - I'm fairly new too and also don't go to classes. I have found this site full of helpful people who are always available to give advice and offer words of encouragement. Good luck to you both. Julie x

There's a thread in the sub forums explaining how you mix it with vanilla and something else (fromage frais I think) for a creamy rich cream-like topping. I haven't tried it but it sounded as though it could be nice :)...

.. and 6lb down. Am so pleased considering the amount of food I have put away ;) Plans for this coming week - stop grazing. Bit of excercising and keep motivated. Good luck to every1 with their weigh - ins. Julie x

oh Tinsel I have told you a load of rubbish :( My stats are no where near as good as yours... I was working it out in my head. Think it was a bit of wishful thinking. I weigh 181 lbs now (after my loss this week) but am no where near as tall as you so look like a right dumpling!! Think I'll...

Thanks Bee - Green it is going forward. There is so much choice anyway I don't think I will come unstuck x

Thanks everyone - mucho appreciated :) Natasha you are doing so well with your losses - you must be so focused. Everybody does so well on this plan that I feel it has to work for me too if I stick to it. Tinsel your stats are similar to mine (save your a bit taller than me) - good luck with...

Am I ok to constantly do green days? I will eat meat but actually prefer the green choices (I can pick meat as a HE the rare times I want it). Does anybody else stick to green days all the time? Long term (as I'm hoping to continue with SW until the summer) would I be missing out on any...

Isle of Man x

Canelloni with SW chips, broccoli and carrots.

Thanks for that ;) - I'll give that a go from tomorrow xx

Thanks - it's a great idea to make it up each day with squash.... I didn't even know I was allowed that. Is that any squash or are we just allowed certain ones??

Water. How much is it recommended that should be drunk each day. There aren't any classes where I live for me to attend so can't ask. I have been aiming to drink about a litre a day. Is this enough... I struggle drinking any water for some reason. Thanks Julie

Just made my first batch of SW chips - cud live off them :D I'm afraid somebody is going to tell me there has been a terrible mistake and they are full of syns. They were that good!

Thanks everyone for your welcomes and words of encouragement x I am thinking this way of living is going to suit me perfectly. I can't afford to go to classes (not that there are any on this island anyways) so am doing it myself from an old book I bought of ebay. This site will be a life line...

My name is Julie and I just wanted to say a quick hello. I started SW on Monday this week after getting so fat I feel like a beached whale... with a lardy arse. I am rubbish at sticking to any kind of diet and this is the 1st ever time I have followed this programme. I'm always letting myself...
