You are most welcome, i hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think :o

thanks Stivesliz, im struggling dealing with it all, getting myself all worked up!! i know what i want, i know how to do it, why dont i just get on with it?? if it were a task or challenge my Director at work had set me then i would have it done in a jiffy and bloody good too as im like that but...

Wegle, ive tried that even wasting money doesnt do the trick!!! its terrible really!! bought gym memberships and let them run for months before going into the gym or just cancelling it, not proud of myself i must admitt, thing is with me, is i am very ambitious, enthusiastic and dedicated...

Caldil, we are in the same rut indeed!! perhaps we need to stop focusing on what we did and more on what we need to do?? see i dont know if you agree with me, but the plan is so straight forward, almost too straight forward, when im on it, i have amazing weight loses like a stone in 3 weeks type...

Great saying, will keep that in mind, why havent i heard it before?? maybe i am dwelling too much on the fact that i lost control last time, i just need to get into and go with the flow? the concept is easy i know ive done it and just as you say not much thinking involved really!!! thanks, if...

Good morning everyone, I am stuck in a rut and need some ideas how to get out of it, its desperate times!! I know what to do i know how to do it, i love SW plans as i have lost 6 stones before (and then over 3 years all and more has crept back on) I want/need to get back into it, how do you get...

Hi Cup-cake, im not sure about Mornflake oatbran but have you tried scan bran, many people i know have this for breakfast and not only they enjoy it but they have some great losses, you can get scan bran from class, i personally am not a lover of oats or porridge myself so no good for me, bnut...

Thanks i guess i shouldnt outrule it without having tried it!! Will give it a try and let you know how i get on, ta!!!

I thought about doing that, well i have failed miserably lately, gone off track and not planned at all, so i am back on the wagon, i need to plan my meals and think about eventualities like going to coffee bars!! Thanks x

Best of luck, i hope you get the results you hope for...i have my fingers crossed for you :)

So its not just me that struggles when it comes to resisting in coffee bars....phew!! i was thinking of making it my weekly treat but my weigh in is on a Monday and i dont really want to jeopardise it, i think you are right i might have to change my saturday treat to a pub like weatherspoons who...

very true indeed, that is why i mostly have green days, not much of a meat eater but i do often have bolognese sauces with my pasta whether it be, pasta bakes, spag bol, can i really use up to 4 Hex on cheese?? :)

Princess Stevie, see i never thought of that, and sometimes i only have about 4-5 syns, and if i take your advise from yesterday i could spread the cheese throughout the day, i am going to look up dishes with ricotta cheese as we can have a fair amount of that for 1 a choice!!

1) It's friday 2) The sun is shining 3) i am moving towards a slimmer me and im loving the foods i eat....i feel great!!

I have my fingers crossed that someone does, its alomst the weekend and the thought of going cold turkey in Costa tomorrow could prove to be a bit much....:cry:but its true though, even the salads are mega high....might have to give it a miss, could always leave the OH in tCosta and i have a...

Ohh that sounds like a good idea....i really like those and never thought about it for breakfast, thanks catmonkey!!

Ok first day on EE plan, i hope i do as well as you guys!! I just need to get used to it, must admit i do like cheese so only having 1 a choice might be a test for me!! its like this....pasta with cheese on top, jacket with cheese on top, sandwich with cheese....do you see my dilemma!!

I bet that feels great, from a 26 to an 18, probably a dangerous stage to not become complacent though, and im sure with all the threads on here, we will all keep you going!! I'm going to plan a week ahead working round the EE, see how it goes, im sure i will enjoy it like you all say...thanks...

Again well done you, primarily to have kept so focused throughout and yes the rewards are great, one day i will be sharing them with you...and that's a promise to myself!!! i think the key for you now is to remember how you felt at 19st and how you feel now in a wonderful size 14!! You can get...

1. Yesterday i brought my prepared lunch in and said no thanks to going to Pizza Express with 2 other girls 2. Was asked to go to Pret a Manger with the team today, so i went, but i ate my lunch before hand, and i bought a piece of fruit and a diet coke and ate that!! 3. Just walked back from a...

I go costa coffee every weekend with my OH, its a treat after working all week, i opt for the skinny latte with sweetners or just a tea, but what can i have for lunch, could i count the bread in the pre made sandwiches as 2 B choices? any suggestions?

Hi Wegle, please keep me updated on the outcome, i have cheese everyday and hate the thought that i could be doing it wrong, at the same time i dont want to give up 5g if i dont have to...very precious im sur you'd agree...thanks

thats an idea Lisamc, has anyone tried the napolina pizza base, its 11 syns, i bought a pack so will give the verdict at the weekend, pizza night is normally Saturdays!!

Thanks Supergirl, what you say makes total sense, i find myself on a green day using chicken or bacon as a B choice, then on a red day using potatoes!! so effectively i could be doing it already without noticing it and of course limiting myself as im weighing the foods!! Like Princess Stevie...

i love pizza, being italian, not something the family would eat BUT if it means i can still be part of pizza night, its worth a try, so thanks!!

I would also like to make a quiche but im not a lover of quark, creme fraiche or cottage cheese, is there any other options, or is quiche for me out of the equation?

PS.How's the journey been for you? if you could give me 1 piece of advise, what would it be?

Thanks Beegee, i just looked at your stats a whopping 7st2lbs, thats impressive, well done you!! hard grind no doubt, but i guess what you put in is what you get out, carry on you can see the finish line!! xx

Great idea using philly, i am not a lover of creme fraiche or quark, as i am not really keen on yogurts or similar tasting dairies, so i will give that a try, thanks!!

I too have been using the alpen bars, 1 for breakfast and the other for after dinner, like a dessert with 2 tbps of custard as that is my weakest time of the day!! the laughing cow's are a good idea, i can spread them out throughout, i have also reverted to cheddar light, so that way i get a...

Thanks Jaylou, you are right i do feel a bit old skool sticking to the green and orginal plans, but they are my comfort zone, but with the help of Princess Stevie, she is changing my mind :) and yes i need to think more about the 1/3 of superfree i should be having xx

Fat-Flump your honesty is an inspiration, to post a thread that is truthful and not many would admitt (or have the guts to admitt) to, has really opened my eyes, your hubby isnt a bad man, in fact the opposite, many men would have had their cake and ate it, the security of you at home and the...

that is brilliant, i often find myself refusing lunch/dinner dates as i am not entirely sure what to pick, and working in Central London makes that a real task, so that would be great and maybe then i wont look so unsociable (which im not promise!!)

PS. You are both doing really well!!!

Wow great stats, i think you are right Princess Stevie, i need to believe in the plan....dont you both struggle with only 1 A & 1 B choice? that's my only concern

Thanks to you both, i think that is the thing, i am an all or nothing thinking person, the minute i start a diet i become really hard on myself, i need to set milestones, i have my neice's communion in 2 weeks time, could set myself a 7lbs weight loss by then, do-able as when i stick to the plan...

I am not keen on yogurts so for snacks i have plenty of fruit, but its getting boring, what other snacks could i have, between breakfast and lunch and then lunch and dinner? i get hungry quite quick, what's wrong with me any ideas guys

Back to SW and only 3 weeks in and i am feeling the struggle already, how do i stay focused, any suggestions? i have a lot of weight to lose, so need to get back into the "zone", all ideas are welcome :sigh:

Hi peeps, i have just returned to SW, when i did it a couple of years ago the Extra Easy plan had just come out, now i have returned it seems quite a big thing, i am a bit sceptical, who's on it and does it work?

Thanks everyone for your helpful replies...minimunchkins; the whole problem is i never had breakfast before and if i did it would be a pastry like a croissant, so its a habit issue for me, but i guess i never thought about a SW cooked breakfast, the idea seemed naughty, but i will get to grips...

Slimming World & Breakfast!! Hi all, i am struggling with breakfast options on SW, i dont like porridge or many cereals apart from Frosties or Crunchy Nut and 5/6 syns a portion its a no no, can you help me please?:confused:
