I stew my rhubarb and add Splenda and it is delicious with plain yogurt!

Love the knickers in the choc cupboard!! You will be fine!!!:)))I am also amazed that I did not lick the bowl.I made a lemon luscious cake and a chocolate marble cake,iced them both and not a taste!!!Blinking remarkable for me,as my worst habbit is nibbling and not eating. I love slimming world...

Clothes for women, men, kids and baby | Free Shipping on $50 | Old Navy Definitely THIS one!It will be very flattering and I would go for the pink dots.It will look great with a tan.I have similar colouring skinwise,but darker blonde hair and that colour suits me well.Black is elegant,but not...

Thanks Crazyfool and kingleds!!Sensible answers I guess. Crazyfool......we have similar goals and are at almost same weight,but I find it steady but slow.Just want to get slimmer again and fit into my lovely clothes!Congrats on your baby! kingleds..............the thought of a pint of cottage...

That's right,the Pita not listed have oil in them so are not HEX B's.I made the same mistake to begin with.

Braeburns and cox or whatever is on offer but never Golden delicious!

Just thought of something I do not understand.If low fat cottage cheese,quark,o%yogs etc are all free foods,then why is skimmed milk not??Any reasons?I do measure my 350mls allowance for the day for my tea/coffe,cerals,but sometimes I go a little over and this has to be synned. I might as well...

Hi Fulltum, Your menu ideas look Mmmmm!! I think I will make stuffed peppers today!You have given me the idea! Look like you just started so good luck! Carrie X

Thanks girls!! Will do a Tesco shop this weekend:))Ratty here I come!

"I remember a quote on here once that struck a chord- If one flower in a bunch died, you wouldn't chuck the entire bunch out, so don't sabotage an entire week for the sake of one incident." What a great quote and a good one to focus on! We all have bad days for one reason or another,but...

Katerpillar.....that salad looks yummy!!

Never seen Princes ratty!!But am going on a hunt as well!! Thanks for the information :))x

Thanks so much Pam-Ann:)))

Mars Bars!!

Is success express the same as extra easy??I do not go to group,so do not know what this is? Anyone to put it straight for me please? THANKS SO MUCH

Why not just add them to your soup for a green day soup and then blend the soup??

Stefanie, I have to do that if I have something in the house and want it or I will eat it!! I feed the birds most left overs of things I don't eat,if I have had 'bad' stuff in the house when entertaining! I have VERY well fed birds!!and foxes,rats,mice!! Yes I bet you had a funny vision...

When in doubt,chuck 'em out!Destroy them with washing up liquid or open your front door and throw them outdoors for the rats!!And don't buy them again.Buy some apples and plums instead! Hope you feel better soon anyway Carrie

Yes it will be perfectly fine!(and you are NOT a moron!). Cook it as you alway would and make sure if it has defrosted that you keep it in the fridge until tomorrow. Enjoy it! Personally I think that most foods can go beyond their best before dates,but your chicken isn't even out of date!

Hayley!! Give it someone else or chuck it out!!(Or feed the birds with it!) Pour fairy liquid over it if necessary!! Temptation is awful but if you resist then you are a strong woman!! Carrie :)

Holiday Girlie!! Good that the sun is shining at yours as well.We have a glorious sunny day here in London and just home from work and off to walk to school to meet my nearly teenage son!(I have a 25 and a 27 yr old too!). Keep focused and feel happy! Carrie X

Anna, Don't give up!Or you will be back where you atarted.We ALL feel like this or we have bad weeks sometimes.I am losing really slowly,but so what?I am eating healthily and feel better and think of the summer ahead and the next one.1lb a week loss is perfectly OK.If you consume just 500...

Eternity! You have done so well! I think on reflection that 1lb a week is good.Realisticly,it takes 3500less calories to lose a pound a week,so 500 less a day will give you a week loss of a 1lb.Now I feel better! 1 stone to go,so if it takes 3-6 months,that's OK! Thanks;) Carrie

Oh the waitrose one is too much!!I will give the can away!!LOL!!

Hey holiday girl, Don't get down or you will get more anxious. We are all human and go through all sorts of stuff,so you keep strong and on track and if the loss is slow,then it is slow.Better than gaining eh?? We can all give each other a boost and encouragment.We WILL get there eventually if...

Oh Thankyou so much!!I am doing SW from home and have very old literature which does not have all the syns,so I am happy to be on here with all you wonderful people to ask and give support! Cheers Emilee

Thanks!

I have tins of ratatoille in my cupboard from Waitrose and Sainsbury's. Can anyone tell me the value of them?Do I syn them or are they free?? Thanks so much.I have resisted opening them as I don't know what they are! Thanks

Hi Anne, All encouraging news!!So we will keep on regardless of how slow it goes.At least we are losing!!

I always have plenty fruit and veg and salad stuff andlots of frozen veg and also cans of Green beans,kidney beans,chickpeas,butterbeans,borlotti beans,baked beans,lentils. Also quorn,mullerlites,Activia 0%,COTTAGE CHEESE,PLAIN FATFREE YOG,sugarfree jelly,dried apricots and...

Good Luck Loloacola for your weigh in.I am doing Red,green ,red green this week so see what happens AND I have been following your red days for inpiration!

Hi Lesley, You look like you are steaming ahead and well done!It is this last SLOW stone to get rid of!I wonder if Red days are better than green.I do mostly green and some EE but dont really eat much meat,but I will try a few Reds and see what happens!! Keep going! Carrie

Katty Hi!, Good post! Well done for your amazing loss so far!And you will keep going! I think what triggered me to get a grip was looking at photos of myself at Christmas.I did not like that chubby look not one more bit!I also felt slow and sluggish and felt that enough was enough and that I do...

Hi Lolacola, Looking at your menu's for inspiration.Love the photos too!I am going to try some of your Red days and see what results I get this week. Well done for your stone loss!!!Whoopie!!:) Hope you have a great week and that your weigh in will be good!

Hi Everyone! Glad to hear that you are exercising and gyming it!Well I guess that the general take is that the losses are slow but steady so I now do not feel so disheartened about it.I know I am on plan and keeping to it,so as you say..................slow and steady wins the race!! Monday and...

Hi HolidayGirl and Dawn, Well at least I feel more encouraged now that I am not alone.I know that if you have more to lose at the beginning it goes quicker and I do realise that,but even so it is a slow process.I also relate to the aching joints!!Dawn,you have done brilliantly so far!Keep...

This is exactly the post I need.Going it alone and this is BRILLIANT!THANKS

I know what you mean about it getting harder as you get older!I am 52 and finding it a slow process.I feel GOOD as I am eating very healthy food all the time BUT it is a slow loss and I can't shift the middle fat!Anyone else know what I mean?Is it hormonal at this age ,the middle age spread...

Great post as we all feel like this so often.I am losing very slowly and had a big clothes try on this morning.......enough to make me want to bin my wardrobe BUT my daughter says i look thinner and to keep going.I have just a stone to lose and it seems SO VERY HARD.I lose 1/2 to 1 pound a week...

Crispy Jacket potato with cottage cheese and a huge salad with balsamic vinegar.

Thanks for tips............off to Asda!

Don't be down............you are still losing!Yes I agree that maybe a Full Blood Count would be a good idea to check for underactive Thyroid.But dont give up.You will lose.Keep a food diary and post it so we can see what you are doing. Good luck

WOW!!! Amazing you JEANIOUS!!Looking great:) What a change you look FAB!!!!

Well done to you!It is just SO easy to fall off the wagon and then think what the heck and have another bad monemt.Keep strong willed girl!:)

Just wondering if any 50 ers are finding it hard to lose?I am 52 and have been sticking to this 98-100% and only seeming to lose about a half a pound to a pound a week on average.I have a stone to lose and am not overeating.It just seems so slow BUT I wont give up.Am I alone or is there a truth...

Thankyou all! I am trying it starting today and lovely diary Sally Cinnamon! Good luck everyone.Keep focused.................spring is on its way! Carrie X

Thankyou Lolacola!!Confusion over :) x

Is there anyone who can tell me what success expess is??I do not go to group and am doing SW from a very old (10yrs)book.Also I have noticed that people are having 2xHEA's and 2xHEB's and my book says only one HEA.Has it changed?? Thanks so much Carrie :)

My book is also 10 yrs old and i noticed that people seem to be having 2xHEA's as well!I also thought it was only one and 2xHEB's,so now I am happy as I often go over my allowance and have been synning it!!

Hi there and welcome back. I also do not attend a group but this site is so supportive and gives you all you need to know!Good luck to you and have fun on here! Carrie

What an amazing cake!If it was in my kitchen I would have to keep sneaking down to have another nibble.Happy Birthday and well done to your Mum!!:) Carrie

Can anyone help me please and tell me if a 60g wholewheat Pita bread is counted as a HEB??Or what sin value it is if not.I have a VERY old book and it does not say. Thanks so much :) Carrie

Good Luck PINKTOASTER!Keep strong willed and dont give up.Summer is coming!!These forums are here to help us and gain support and everyone of us has bad days. Carrie

Oh I also had a BAD day yesterday only,but it feels horrid to lose control after being so good so I am back on the MISSION today!!The hardest for me is entertaining at home and not having desert!!Well I succumbed to some lovely chocolate roulade last night and a piece of cherry bakewell...

Don't give up!!We all have rubbish weeks,but this is when to write everything thing down and see where you can cut down portion sizes and snack on superfree.Free foods still have calories so dont go crazy on the carbs.You will get there I am sure.STAY FOCUSED!!!!:)))))We are all in this together...

Yes WW too confusing!! Enjoy lunch and we can compare notes later! Carrie x

Hi all! Just thought that it may be good to try and arrange a walking group for locals??Anyone in Golders Green/Hendon/Hampstead areas that fancy a regular walk?It would keep us motivated? Just a brisk 30 mins 3xweek would be fab or whatever we can manage? Carrie

Morning all! Have the day off today,so am meeting my sis-in -law who by the way started WW!! Have only had 2 slices of WW brown bread with marmite and tea this morning as going to have a bite out.Always scared as can't always be sure to find somewhere that has an acceptable menu.Hopefully I can...

Hi everyone! I started SW 3 weeks ago on my own and am not going to group.I have a real paranoia regarding the scales:(! . I am happiest on green days as I feel fuller and healthier for it. I need to lose 20lbs as I started off at nearly 11stone and have now lost weight as my clothes are getting...

I live in London and it is easy to eat SW style.If you go to Edgware Rd,just a walk up from Marble Arch,there are numerous Lebanese Restaurants fir instance Maroush.Here you can eat a lovely shish kebab and salad.There are many Turkish restaurants in london too.Also great for fresh,plain grilled...
