Hope you don't mind me crashing in but I have been reading alot about this diet in the last week after speaking to someone who looks amazing on it. Can I just ask is oatbran the same as plain porridge oats ? Thanks, Jean

Good luck its really hard isn't it! I'm sure you'll do it this time. Jean

Good afternoon Well yesterday I was left to my own devices as oh and my 2 sons were out all day. managed to keep fairly focussed all day. Toast and butter and marmalade for breakfast (a once a week treat) for lunch I had spaghetti and bacon, followed by grapes and a satsuma or two...

Just start telling us what's happening. I'm on the edge of my seat now. Good Luck

Well not exactly doing 100% but not doing too bad for a Bank Holiday weekend. Yesterday breakfast was magic porridge and raspberries and raisins again as it was so delicious the day before. Actually had an apple as soon as I woke up for a snack, trying to get as much fruit down my neck as...

Well yesterday went quite well, didn't manage any exercise but did some serious housework in the afternoon after I'd sofa dwelled all morning watching the wedding. Breakfast was magic porridge plus raspberries and 7g raisins (needed a little extra fibre!) Lunch was a baked potato with a...

Its now 4 weeks to my holiday and 3.5 months to my gorgeous niece's wedding. I am determined to get myself sorted so I am going to do the diary thing. More concerned about body magic , need to fit it all in with a busy family and work life. I'll speak to you all later about how I do today...

easter eggs- got a stash for the godchildren.

Very worrying time especially after you've already been through so much. I do remember having some discomfort when I was approx 5 weeks pregnant ( something to do with ligaments I think, but it was along time ago.) Take care and fingers crossed for you. Jean.

Does anyone know values for the new saucy noodles? Thanks.

This is what I tend to do eat free, then I know the "extras" eg butter and marmalade on my toast or gravy or ex light mayo are taken care of. Jean

I use the aldi ff natural yogurt it goes a bit cheesy when cooked but as it is a cheese sauce I can cope with that! with a 2 hex a's of low fat cheddar(aldi again) grated on top. yummy.

Just made some with magic porrige with a strawberry ff activia, it looks really nice will anything bad happen to me if I eat it straight away! :eek:

I've never tried the quiche, but frittata or spanish omelette can be similar but without the base. I made spanish omelette with par boiled sliced or diced potatoes, onion mushrooms sliced peppers with HE a of cheese. I was going to use some for tea and take the rest to work for lunch next...

Welcome to the forum Moggy, you will find loads of support here. People have lots of different stories to tell and can usually advise. If you are worried about being hungry I would suggest slimming world as you can eat loads of free food especially the first couple of weeks while you get in...

Just looked on wickipedia and it does say it can effect weight and appetite as a side effect.

Some very interesting points being made. I find the syns calculator difficult to use when its a liquid eg 180mls, what is that going to be in 100g portion. A common mistake is the slice of bread from 400g loaf as hexb. I bet a lot of people get the 800g loaf and don't weigh the slices...

Well done everyone with the good losses, no change for me this week but no excuses. MUST TRY HARDER!

Fantastic achievement Maximus. This is what its all about. You should be very proud of yourself.

None taken, a 1lb of anything weighs a 1lb! Thanks!

Superspeed foods do seem to keep things moving, melon and strawberries but also baked beans and cod. A friend who lost 7 stone tried to include a superspeed food in every meal. I've lost 1lb this week so will definitely going for the superspeed and superfree foods this week. Exercise can...

will definitely use the lid from now on. Thanks everyone good ideas.

Well done Kitty, I really need to get my head around doing some exercise. Keep up the good work!

Best weighing just once a week , I find the less often you weigh yourself the lighter you get!

Any casserole or stew meal can be made the slimming world way packed full of veggies and can be prepared well in advance so you aren't running around when your guests are there. What about fresh fruit salad for pudding or a slimming world trifle- I don't have the recipe but i'm sure someone...

I am also aiming for the summer with a wedding in mind my niece's, lets all keep each other going and thinking about those fabulous outfits we'll be wearing. Don't let one bad choice spoil all the good you are doing. Focus!

Try and be positive, giving up smoking is a massive achievement . Well done.

Well done everyone.

Very happy and relieved to report 3lb loss this week :D Good luck everyone. Jean
