Why are you having this moment of doubt? From what I've read it sounds like you're doing great and I'd just say: keep going! :) In fact I've been using MFP too and also have these moment of doubts, which often lead me to reach for the naughty food :(. If you're still staying on track, despite...

I definitely binge eat and have done on and off since I became a teen (21 now), though I've not gone to the drs about it. I would highly recommend SW, as once you're following plan, you start to enjoy such a variety of healthier foods, that you find you don't have so much of a taste for your...

I hated PE because right from the start you could see the PE teachers favoured the more athletic girls who were good at sports and they always looked exasperated at the overweight kids or the ones who lacked skill. If a poor performer did do well, they were often patronising / shocked. :( It was...

I don't think that's a moan, I agree totally! I really don't appreciate being told 'Oooh you don't need to lose weight', when the fact is I'm classed as obese and need to lose weight for my health (as well as to look fabulous) ;). I'll get this from naturally slim friends and friends who could...

Honk! One full week 100% on plan. :)

I find after getting back on track, it takes my body a while to adjust but if you think there could be a trigger write down a food diary and when you need the loo and see if there's any relation between the two. It could also be the nature of the food...I find if I've been good for a while...

For a red lunch I can think of: -eggs on HEX B toast (vary it: poached, boiled, fry light fried etc.) -'brunch': eggs, bacon or ham, mushrooms, tomato, HEX B toast -Slimming world quiche with veggies, meat and HEX A cheese -'wraps': meat slices with HEX cheese slices and diced vegetables, rolled...

I mix and match Red, Green and EE, so I have a variety of meals, which I love. I've done only EE before and found my weight loss slightly slower than if I've mixed it up, but only slightly. I've still had good losses with EE. I also find Red and Green days encourage more fruit and veg onto my...

Honk! A perfect second day! The first time I've managed not to mess up the second day in weeks, having gone through a bad patch of binging and telling myself 'I'll start again tomorrow'. Food and exercise planner plus SW Online is really keeping me focused. They're taped to my bedroom door as a...

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I reduced the amount of salt, as I'm conscious of my high blood pressure but it was still fab. I served it on lots of shredded iceberg lettuce with SW chips and a dash of garlic sauce. :)

Hey! I understand completely! Since I moved to Germany for 9 months, all my hard-earned SW weight loss has piled back on too. :( Anyway, have you seen this? I posted my own query last year and had some good replies...

I've tried flavoured cottage cheese before and it still turns out lovely and tasty. I tend to add some dried herbs or spice to give it a different flavour each time anyway. I used silicone cupcake & mini star moulds to make my SW quiche into mini quiches today so I can pop one in my mouth...

Thanks! :)

Hi! I'm living abroad at the moment and there's a very nice flavoured quark that I've been wondering about in terms of syns? Can anyone work it out for me quickly? I don't have online at the mo. :( I'd love to think it's similar to a mullerlight but don't want to be caught out and eat tons...

Thank you Sarah and Adele for your great advice! It's just too easy to try all the yummy, calorific foods over here. I'm slowly getting there! Enjoy the quark for lasagnes and desserts. I can't believe my flatmate doesn't notice the difference in our lasagne; she loves it! ;) I had been...

Hi, as the title says I'm a UK student and I'm spending a year in Germany. I've been here a month and have had my fun and I think it's time to reel my poor eating habits back in! If anyone could help with my situation, Germans, English etc., I'd be very grateful. -I need cheap and healthy...

Do you try different days with Original, Green, EE? Alternating might give you some variety and give you a boost. Aim to try a new breakfast, lunch, dinner (and even HEXs and Syns if you're feeling adventurous) once a week. Plan out your meals too so you can keep track of what you're buying and...

Made Smash pizzas with boyfriend last night. Great success! Used passata with mixed herbs, garlic and a little black pepper and mild chilli powder for the pizza sauce and toppings were tuna and sweetcorn for him and bacon, red peppers, red onion and sweetcorn for me. (I'd have thrown in green...

Tried this with extra lean steak mince and boyfriend and I loved it. Had SW chips and a pitta as a HEX B and then used huge home grown lettuce leaves to wrap the rest of the sliced meat it. Delicious!

My boyfriend likes to make me a low synned 'milkshake' by crushing lots of ice, a little semi-skimmed milk, options hot chocolate powder and sweetner in a blender. Maybe they would work well in this? Or added to plain yoghurts or fromage frais? They sound fantastic!

Just to add, the next day I mixed the same mix of herbs and spices (well I've bought them now! :o) into some passata, poured over chicken breasts and skinned drumsticks and baked and they were gorgeous. Give it a try!

I tried this last night with the boyfriend who's on SW too. We adore KFC. We followed the recipe exactly from the first page and agreed it had that salty spicy flavour of KFC but with the amount of mixed spice it definitely has a moroccan edge to it! Was still lovely as I'm always on the look...

That's tomorrow's dinner sorted thanks :D.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :). Currys are so wonderful!

I just made one! It's lovely! I used bacon too, added a little onion (chopped up and cooked in fry light) and I used diced tomato instead of red pepper as I couldn't get hold of one today (but was desperate to make it ;) )! There are lots of slices so would be good for a picnic / lunches.

Excellent! Let us know how it goes!

Ingredients: 2 packs of pieces of stewing beef (or lamb is lovely for this too) Three tablespoons of madras paste (one or two spoonfuls if you don't like it too spicy or a similar less spicy paste) 2 or 3 red onions chopped up 6 vine tomatoes chopped up a few carrots chopped into slices a few...

Thanks for the welcome and advice! x

Hi :) Long time reader, first time poster...:o I started off with SW last summer...lost about a stone with some hiccups along the way. (It's been a huuuuuge learning curve managing a healthy diet whilst at uni and studying.) However my term time SW group disbanded in January and that lovely...
