Lemon bars! The yoghurt coating tastes a little like lemon icing, I could have them all day everyday. Also love the cranberry bar, I think it's because the chocolate on top is very nice.

Hello :) I'm a Cambridge Diet returner...having done this diet twice in the past and lost over 3 stones each time and now I am back with a vengence after putting it all back on and a little more! So, I've been doing this for a week now and lost 12Ilbs...so far so good. But what happens when...

There was a thread not long ago about the syns in dominos i think it was 25 syns per slice! If you do a search you'll find it

But delicious and worth the syns..esp the white choc one!

We're celebrating tomorrow and going to cafe pasta! I've read and re read the menu, decided on meal and saved syns for it and as I don't drink alcohol won't be tempted by wine! Lets hope I can resist the deserts though Have a lovely vday everyone!

Was annoying today in Sainsburys... A lady was stood with red roses and teddies etc on a table holding a basket full of lindt chocolate asking if people wanted one... I was walking past with my husband when the lady offered one to us... We said no thank you, and she seemed really surprised! She...

If they travel around so much, they avoid bills...council tax...mortgage...! I couldn't believe that guy in this weeks episode who buys a brand new car twice a year! Clearly the recession hasn't affected them. Made me chuckle a bit when they were discussing how they have morals...and take...

Hi Devon_Dumpling - I'm in the same situation, applying for jobs everyday (I work in HR/Recruitment) - I'm getting lots of interviews but then finding that I don't have enough money to travel to London...:( I'm relocating there as soon as I get something but it's never an easy ride! Definitely...

Hi, I suffer from IBS and I've noticed that my triggers are stress and very high fat foods (such as takeaways) - which I've cut out now so my IBS is a lot more under control. I drink 2 litres of water, which helps a lot and I think the fibre in this plan has been helping too. I've tried all...

You could add a few fresh tomatoes, or have the dhal with rice and have a salad on the side. Dhal: Frylight 1-2 onions Garam Masala Tumeric Powder Chilli (Coriander) Salt Garlic/Ginger Lentils of your choice Boil lentils (you can mix a few different ones if you wish) - add 1 tsp tumeric power...

If you've got a tunic top or shorter dress...you wear with leggings why not wear it with some tights and heels? I bought this last year (it's gorgeous but too loose on me now) and I've worn it with black tights and purple heeled ankle boots...

Their losses are impressive (especially in the US version) but who has the time to do 6 hour of strenuous exercise? And they have doctors and medical professionals with them...they could have a heart attack at any time! As we don't live in controlled environments it's harder... I WI on Mondays...

Glad she went anyway it was about time! :D

I get bloated during * week, and can gain anything up to 5lbs! I do drink 2litres of water a day anyway, but I drink more to overcome the bloating and it does work - Just make sure you drink it regularly but not too fast it will just go through you and will not benefit you. Also try reducing...

Chapattis made with fat 28g - 4.5 syns on all plans 60g average 10 syns on all plans Chapattis made without fat 28g - 3 syns on all plans, 55g average 5.5 syns on all plans Paratha bread (plain) 28g - 4.5 syns on all plans, 140g average 22.5 syns on all plans I miss stuffed parathas (with...

My career is in recruitment, I have years of experience writing job descriptions, interviewing etc so I can give you some pointers. When I read through applications I find candidates usually give too little information or too much, it's important to stick to the points you're making. Also for...

I haven't had the depo jab in a few years, but did have it for 3-4 years and gained a lot of weight, it took well over a year for my period to return and even now its not regular, sometimes heavy sometimes not although i am hoping once i have lost more weight they will become more regular! I...

Lol! Why are the bigger bra's so damn expensive?? Bravissimo's clothing range are even more pricier... Just for making clothes to fit over a bigger pair of breasts!

If you cook without the oil ie mix the flour and water it is 3 syns for a medium chapatti (that excludes any butter/marg on top!) Mine are small and very thin so I allocate 3 syns each. I'm not sure how much it would be when you add the oil as it depends on exactly how much oil you're adding. I...

I make a 'potato pie' takes 10 mins in a microwave! Peel some potatoes, slice them thinly like scallops, layer them in a bowl and season every few layers. When you fill the bowl spray a bit of frylight put some cling film over it and prick a few holes into it. Put it into the microwave for 10...

Added brocolli to it this time round, and just had a bowl full with quorn mince in it tastes gorgeous!

Made these as a bday treat for my OH today, turned out gorgeous! Had lots of pastry left over so made lots extra and froze these. You can also make meat ones using mince or chicken tikka ones (or veggie mince ones). Also you could make lovely spring rolls with veg and bean sprouts in! I've...

Can't wait to have a flat tummy! To be able to wear figure hugging clothes, show off my legs, arms and back. I've got 2 important family functions coming up and I want to reveal my new body, it will be so nice to finally shut some people up who commented on how fat i looked on my wedding day.

Congrats on your fab weight loss so far! I had a mc donalds last week, as we were at a service station on the way home late at night...i'd already synned a lot that day and decided to have my mc chicken sandwich and large fries and the next day, draw a line under it. Well 2 days later - WI and...

I used to live off coke zero but it made me feel so bloated! I now drink 2 ltrs of water/no added squash and have the odd can of coke zero here and there. No more bloatedness which is fab! Feels like such a treat sometimes I can't believe there's barely any calories in it! Once or twice i've had...

I use Low Low grated cheese and reduced fat mozzarella for my toasted sandwiches and pasta. As I do only green days I can have 1 or 2 HA's which means I get to have lots of cheese if I want! I buy grated because it's easier to pull out and weigh.

Yep,I felt similar last year going off plan as my job contract expired... Applying for new jobs....interviews etc I felt like my life was in chaos and it was all happening so fast I went off plan for 2 weeks, didn't go for WI because I had assumed that I had probably put on all that weight I...

Depends on how I feel, and what i'm planning on eating...i like to use them on gravy, margerine, extra slice of bread, the odd quorn or meatfree burger, shape deserts ( white choc 5 1/2 syns) and during star week - chocolate! I tend to have between 5-10 but here and there use the full 15

The Urban Decay primer is fab and lasts ages, never had my eyeshadow crease when using that

It comes down to how much you want to lose the weight, and whether you are willing to make that change. You've done it before and you can do it again, and you know it works because your excellent loss before is the proof! I wouldn't let that 8lb gain put you off, as it will increase and before...

That's really amazing! :D The more I read these NSV's the more faith it gives me that I can shift this weight! I had a couple of NSV's this week...my mother in law commented on my weight loss and noticed the difference, she was impressed and even asked for tips! Today i'm feeling really...

Well done! It gets easier, the main thing is to keep exercising but to build it up slowly. Also, make sure you drink 2ltrs of water a day, especially as it helps to repair the muscle :)

1/2 packet of Super Noodles (Mild Curry) (1.5 syns green) on a bed of lots of salad (plateful!)

Does a 'last chance workout' really work? Does anyone do this before their weigh in day?

Hi I use greaseproof paper instead of foil (when i first tried making this pizza i had no foil in the house) it doesn't stick, and i spray lots of frylite before on the paper, add the smash, flatten it out and then put it in the oven.

According to the food optimising book an average 40g hash brown is 2 syns. My fry ups wouldn't be the same without it! Sometimes you don't have the time to make them from scratch so i grill a couple and syn them

I had SW kfc chicken (using quorn fillets) with rustic chips (2.5 syns) ketchup (2 syns) and lots and lots of salad on the side! Very delicious :)

Some people grate the bread using the small holes on the grater

I drink robinsons I have lots of diff flavours. As I fill up a 1ltr bottle of volvic twice a day i change the flavours or have just plain water. Reading the food optimising book though it says to aim between 6-8 glasses of fluids and it includes low calorie drinks. Sometimes i have a can of coke...

I start losing my mojo mid week... I start off so well feeling really motivated then a few days in I want to over syn and relax a little on my body magic schedule! By the time it's 2 or 3 days away from weigh in I realise I need to get down to it and stick to the plan! So far so good, but it can...

Apart from pasta and tomato sauce with veg... What about smash pizza? Using tinned tomatoes as sauce? It's yummy!

Hiya I'm a veggie and follow green days only - I have smash pizza, kfc sw chicken (using quorn instead of chicken), sw chips with super noodles or beans or even in bread! You could make curries i make them using fry light with rice, jacket potatoes, roast potatoes with veg and gravy and quorn...

I have lots! But mainly that I want to go sleeveless in summer for the first time in years and fit into normal sized clothes! Am saving money for shopping and can't wait to shop anywhere instead of just being limited to Evans. I think i'm more concerned with dress size than weight because I am...

Thanks for this! I love the meatfree range esp the soya burgers.

I really feel for you, and totally understand what you're going through. I have a love/hate relationship with my stepmother (my mum died when I was young) and she would torture me over my weight, even when I was a child and make snide comments. I wasn't even big and would give anything now to...

I made this soup today and it's delicious! I didn't make as much though, as I don't have a slow cooker or really big pans, and I added veg stock cubes instead of beef with some cajun and garlic...I cannot believe how yummy this turned out! I was a bit sceptical about putting in a tin of beans...

I find it hard too, especially when my OH is home because he snacks on lots of bad food. So I have resorted to buying a 1L bottle of water (I refill this twice a day) and drink this every time I feel peckish and I find that not only am I drinking more water but that I am not as hungry as I think...

I made this tonight but used quorn fillets instead of chicken as am a veggie. Very yummy! I can't wait to make these again! I cut the fillets into strips and put them with salad in wholemeal wraps...seriously delicious! I did have a lot of paste leftover so next time will only use 1/2 a jar. No...

Hi, I am indian too and only do green days as I am vegetarian. All types of dahl is free, in all my curries and indian food is free because i use fry light. When you're frying the onions don't use butter or oil spray some frylight over them on low heat so they don't burn, then add your spices as...

I joined because I couldn't stand seeing myself in the mirror anymore, and every year I was getting bigger and bigger. I started out last September at around 19 stones, but after about 6 weeks I stopped going when I lost my job. Throughout the past couple of months I have felt so guilty for...

In two weeks I have noticed a huge difference! I can see the difference in my face, my waist feels more toned and slimmer, my clothes fit me better and some are really loose. My knickers were literally falling off me last night, I kept justifying it by saying that maybe they had lost their shape...

Brilliant thread! 1) Weigh everything you need to. Even with HE's - it makes all the difference between a gain or a loss at the end of the week. 2) When you're starting to get full, concentrate on finishing your superfree food and fill up on that. 3) Eat slowly - you'll be able to feel when...

As I am a vegetarian and doing Green days only I live on Quorn! I agree the southern style chicken burgers are delicious, especially in pitta with lots of salad. I also cook quorn pieces in curries and make a 'chicken' tikka or jalfrezi style curry using chopped tomatoes. Delicious with rice! I...

You look fabulous! There's already such a big difference already :) I wish my bum would hurry up and catch up with the rest of me!

Congratulations to you all! Ellebear - you look stunning! You inspire me :)

I love doing hula hoops on the Wii! Yesterday I did Super Hula Hoops for 6 mins, and I was so out of breath, but felt fantastic. It then decided to unlock another level and gave me 10 mins!...I think I will have a stab it later it today. I have noticed it does tell you off when you're doing...

I have got rid of nearly everything that's too tempting! Luckily my OH eats what I eat, so no complaints. Yet...I find giving up bread hard too, there's nothing more that I love! But on green I can have it as 2HB's and sometimes have the extra slice as syns. I find that usually shuts the craving...

I re started slimming world last Monday and already have been doing an hour's workout on the Wii everyday (split into 2 half hours) and I have noticed a huge difference already! Aside from unlocking more reps on the muscle workout, i'm doing over half an hour cycling, jogging, free step, rhythm...

Well done all of you on your NSVs! I restarted slimming world last Monday, and have been doing an hours cardio and muscle workout on the Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports, this week I stepped it up to 1.5 - 2 hours a day and I have noticed so much difference in my appearance already! Not only am I...

I joined my local group last year, and for about 6 weeks I paid weekly and stayed for group, but due to losing my job I stopped going. I started slimming world again last monday, and am doing it from for the time being until things get back on track. This website gives a lot of inspiration and...

Potatoes, quorn fillet with lots of steamed veg and gravy! Was delicious

I had 2 scrambled eggs, 2 wholemeal toasts (2HB) and lots and lots of salad on the side. Yum yum!

Coljack, thank you for being really honest :) When I wrote mine, I sat with my husband and said all my reasons out aloud, a lot of which were really really hard to admit because for so long I had pushed the thoughts aside and tried not to think about them. I must have cried buckets, but I...

You're such an inspiration! I only hope this time next year I have that dream body I have always wanted. Congratulations! x

Looking fabulous! Well done :)

Thats fabulous! I totally hear you about getting stressed trying to find something nice that fits which is why i now avoid shopping as i'm mainly limited to Evans. I get so stressed sometimes that I refuse to go out! Cannot wait to be able to throw on anything and feel gorgeous. Congratulations...

You could use brocolli, sweetcorn,peas, anything you like! Or if you're not a veg person make it without veg and have lots of salad on the side x

Hiya! I live for these! I use 3 tbs of nutella and 3 weetabix. Crush the weetabix but not too much! Melt the nutella in the microwave and mix into the weetabix. Make little balls to fill a mini fairy cake case (you can get these from sainsburys) and put in the fridge to cool. 1syn each. You...

Hello! I'm a fellow veggie too, I love making a tomato sauce and then adding mushrooms, chickpeas, peppers, beans, anything you want! Even quorn. I usually chop some onion or leek, use some fry light to fry them, add chopped tomatoes, herbs and spices and lots of garlic! Then I have these on 2...

Ok, so I have taken out some that were really really personal reasons, but here are 135! Some of them may be really similar but I did this as on the spur and wrote whatever came into my mind: 1. I want to be smaller than my mother in law 2. I want to fit into the asian outfits I had sewn when...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Fererro Rochers! I get some nutella melt it in the microwave, add crushed weetabix, mix it and get a teaspoon and make little balls in mini fairy cake cases. Put them in the fridge to cool and allow myself some when I need my chocolate fix! You could add nuts or dried fruit e.g...

Hello! I've decided to re-join slimming world this week after an attempt last autumn (Lost nearly 1 stone in a month) but due to my job loss it all went...well down the pan. Pleased to say that over 2 months I haven't gained as much as I thought I had! I've been reading so many inspirational...
