Can anyone tell me if I need to pay to join the group again? I've been away for a few months due to money & job change and general life stresses. Do I have to pay to re-join or can I carry on using my old card???

I've had a written warning, which I feel is totally unfair because the boss isn't able to see it as a one off incident (had a couple complaints over a year ago) anyway I've handed in my notice. Can't work with him anymore........thanks for all your offers of help but even if i did appeal and won...

Hpw did you make this please? I LURVE brocolli......! Was it syn free??

That's totally me! I've only lost 8.5lb but all my trousers are slightly too big and my jeans all fit again. Mentally I'm like "I feel good, clothes fit, och well have that biscuit" Gotta get back on track!!!!!:copon: My job has been a real pain in the butt for the last couple weeks so has...

I handed in my notice at work today and as a result fell off plan AGAIN! I'm a lot scared and panicked about giving up my job without having another to go to. I couldn't think about the plan at all and was totally un-prepared. i ate crisps, a twirl, cheese and onion sarnie from tesco, toast and...

No, I don't know of any other classes near me..........I'll hope for a whopping loss next week! Thanks for checking for me, I wasn't sure. I had toast for breakfast. Think my tea has filled me nicely...........I'll have an alpen bar soon!

:eek: I'm a t-totaller. I've never drunk and I find the peer pressure from friends annoying. Surely it is up to you whether you want to drink or not, regardless of your reasoning!!! :mad: I've never struggled to have fun because I've been sober and I think to associate good times with being...

:sigh: I skipped WI today for fear of having a gain, now I'm pee'd off I didn't go. I had a real hassle at work last week which effected my eating. I wasn't really eating and when i was it was all the wrong things. Couldn't face a gain so I decided to skip it and get back on track! Wish I'd...

Sitting in my SIZE 10 trackie bottoms :D

I'm not sure but if you find out let me know. I've been off plan slightly this week. Mostly on it but slipped up a few times with synage. I think it's because I've lost enuff for clothes to be loose so my incentive has dwindled. I feel thinner, I look a little thinner so my motivation has...

Don't give up. Surely it's all about the clothes sizes going down not the scales.......! That's just a bonus! Me, I couldn't care if I weighed in at 20 stone as long as I fit comfortably into a size 10! (I'd be one hell of a tall wifey!). Don't give in............

Trainers: make sure you either get a good pair of all round trainers or get your gait checked and buy trainers to suit. I ran last year and was coming away really sore. Bruises appeared just at the side of my knees. Turns out my running trainers didn't have enough padding. I've since boght...

I feel guilty today; i ate a bag of crisps and a wispa! I'm on me own at work, I've eaten all my fruit and yogurt and can't get away for lunch so I scoffed the junk food. Feel guilty; you bet your ass i do! :(

Is it 8.5 syns for the whole pack or 8.5 syns for your portion?? :confused: Confuzzled! Doesn't matter either way as I've eaten it now but I might have 4 syns to play with! :gimi:

I've tried them, they don't seem confident in what they say!

I can NEVER be bothered! Took a lot of effort to get out an do it! Helps relieve some of thefrustration I'm feeling right now - new attitude, don't give a frick!

Need some advice if at all possible!

Bottoms. I think I've lost an inch so far. I was wearing 14 before but they were on the large side. It's just they were comfier than wearing 12s. I could fit into a 12 but they were on the sore-side of tight. So losing an inch has just allowed me to fit comfortably into a 12. Never imagined I'd...

Och, been and done it. All sweaty and out of puff but glad i did it. Now for a shower!

Right I've got my size 14 trackie bottoms on (they are being held up by a bobble as they are too big) my new running trainers and I'm ready to go for a short jog.........taking it easy! All I need now is the motivation........:character00115:

It is cos I've only lost 8.5lbs so far. Can't imagine what I'll be ordering size-wise by the time I reach target!!!:D

As Jaylou says, first choice should always be a SF food but if you really fancy a yogurt or crab stick then go right ahead. I struggled with snacking when I first started as I'm a grazer. However as the plan has taken hold I feel less need to snack. When I do, I choose fruit. Good luck.

I bought a pair of trackie bottoms online in a size 12; they arrived and are too loose! Have sent back for a size 10!! They may not fit as I might be a size 11 - hahahahaha!

-1.5lbs tonight. Think it's lack of eating rather than sticking to plan! Hopefully back on track tomorrow with an upage of exercise! x4piggiepig's -8lb (8lbs to lose - 2.5lbs lost) AJB - 6lbs (6lbs to lose - 0lbs lost) Alyce - 5lbs (5lbs to lose - 0lbs lost) Anna_vixen - 7lbs (7lbs to lose -...

SEX! :giggle:

1.5lb loss. Gobsmacked as I have been off plan since Sat. Things not going so great for me in the work department. Celebrating with a large bag of maltesers...........yes I know, bad me! Back on plan tomorrow and going to try and force a jog!

Have yoy tried replacing binges with exercise? When you get home and feel like a binge pop on your trainers and go for a walk! Alternatively there is clearly an underlying problem that maybe going and talking to someone might help......hope you don't mind me being so blunt!

I watched the wedding one that was on Monday night. Blubbing like a blubbing thing! What a tw*t! I'm a motorcycle riding rock chick and I blub at Glee!!!! My reputation is in tatters! hahahahahaha.

Man, what is wrong with me!!:cry:

Yip. I'm well down in the dumps today and yesterday. I have hardly eaten anything and what I have eaten is not on plan - can't be bothered, lost motivation! Skipping WI. You, only had a sandwich, try not to worry it's probably not had much of an impact.......! Good on you for being good for 2...

Seens as it's only me now (oh is going rock-climbing) I think I will just have Nutella and toast!

I have no urge to cook, I'm a bit down in the dumps so can someone help me make tea. I have two chicken breasts in the fridge. What can I do with them that doesn't require much work?

Sitting in my PJ's watching Monk!

Thank you so much everyone. I have spoken with other members of staff who also agree it's a complete over reaction and non-consistent. The sales manager had a complaint written about him a couple months ago by a long standing customer (she's a right pain but really nice once you get to know her)...

I wouldn't mind so much but I had a **** weekend too. I climbed a hill tho! hahaha Think I'm in for gain this week. Never mind!

Can't be arsed making any! You wanna pop round with some...........hahahahahaha!

I've known for a long time the boss doesn't like me. He is inconsistent with his actions; he's done it now I have to wait for the outcome. Rest assured if he fires me i WILL be taking action. I'm wallowing a little at the moment. I need to pick myself up I'm hungry and in no mood for cooking!

I got suspended from work today :cry: A customer complained about me partly because I didn't phone them when their car was ready for collection (she said only to call if there was a problem) and the boss has gone and suspended me! So, I've had 2 x aplen lights, bag of hula hoops from a...

I bet you can make one with Fromage Frais and Scran bran! hahahahaha - gross!

Good for you; though Idoubt I'll be that lucky! Expect to STS but you know what, I don't mind cos I feel goooooood! I've never been to a Krispie Cream. Even the name sounds tasty!

Most definately have to! no more than 5 syns for the next 3 days!

This weekend hasn't been great for my SW eating plan. Saturday the OH and I drove 2 hours to climb a hill north of Ullapool called Stac Pollaidh (pronounced - Stack Polly). I had 2 x boiled eggs and toast (syned my butter - 3 syns), an Aplen bar and an apple whilst on the hill. So all great...

Eating again................Whahahahahah!!!!

I like a fruit salad in the morning with yogurt! Just eat what you do like. Otherwise I tend to get my 1/3 through-out the moring by snacking on fruit........I know it's hard but if there is any fruit at all you like then stock up!

OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH,OUCH!!!!!!!:fear:

I am having another coffee and a bacon roll (fat removed HEb roll).........god, you lot will think I do nothing but eat!!

I noticed that too; my appetite has lessened! I don't feel as hungry at all. Sometimes it's just boredom but I now recognise that!

You need to try and keep your chin up honey, if you don't try and stay positive or at least see the positive's from what you are doing you won't do anything and you will continue on a road of distruction! You don't like your weight, you want to be thinner then you need to keep trying otherwise...

I've only been doing this for 5 weeks (this is my 6th) and my findings so far are; eat what you're hungry not when you want. If i was too eat just when I wanted to I'd be consuming loads of calories so I only eat when I'm hungry. And then I choose healthy free foods. I stop eating once I feel I...

ooooo, dangerous business; they are far too moreish!! Save me one!:eat:

More often than not I will use my HE in the morning. I could not be without coffee through the day so I always have 250ml of Semi skimmed for my HEa. For my HEb I sometimes use it for nimble bread and have a bacon sandwich (using syns for butter) or I'll have cereal. I like to keep my HEb for...

Are you kidding, I'd just go buy another bag god damn it! How dare they vanish without me knowing...........:rolleyes:

You've lost 10lbs in 5 weeks!!!!!! I've only lost 7lb! You're doing great, you're not putting on and you're not staying the same! What is your excercise like?? How do you feel within yourself?? I stayed the same not last WI but the WI before and I was disappointed but when i thought about it...

Oh I do like a Malteser! When you reach the bottom do you feel so sad they are all gone?? I do that's why I used to eat a family one to myself! :p

Couldn't agree more! :grumble:

I beleive it to be 8.5 syns! Yum Yum! I didn't get peace to eat it tho.............bloody customers!

You're all sharing ONE slice? That's stingy but good for syn value no doubt!

Right now, thi svery minute (apart from typing) I am enjoying a hot cup of coffee with a Galaxy Ripple.....(it's all you lot fault as you were talking about Ripples on another thread) I've had no syns today & I know my tea will be syn free also, so I thought; what the hell!! :D

:8855:- Not a chance! They're mine, all mine........Whahahahahah *evil laugh*

I've only doe EE for 5 weeks and I've lost 7lbs!! If I hadn't tried cheating the 2nd week I'm sure I would have lost more. It so easy to follow and the meals are so "normal" as other's have said. I'm NEVER hungry, in fact some days I feel like I've eaten LOADS! It's totally sustainable and can...

I use mine; I want to though. I like being able to treat myself. Saying that if I am under the 15 I'm always chuffed. Some days I go over so it balances out over the week. Use them, that's what they are there for!

My work trouser keep needing pulled up and my shirt isn't straining at the buttons on my belly - Wooooop woop!

I've never met you but I am absolutely delighted for you! Congratulations!! And, yes, it feels AMAZING!!! Got 6.5 syns still to have today so I feel like celebrating!!! :bliss:

I visualise myself slinky and sexy on the beach with my gorgeous OH. Feeling good about myself. OR I visualise myself wearing some nice new clothes and people being well impressed by how great I look! Sad I know, but it gets me through!

I'm having trouble with my HE on green diary plan. Won't let me add a 2nd HEb choice for some reason. ANy idea's? HEa 250ml semi skimmed milk HEa 42g of reduced fat cheddar HEb 2 x wholemeal Nimble HEb (won't let me add ALPEN bars) does anyone see a problem with what I'm doing or is it the...

Mmmmmm....................Maltesers. *droool*

YOU DANCER; 3lb loss! Woo Hoo, lost half a stone!!!

Coffee or fizzy pop? Usually helps me if I have nothing else. Water??

:thankyou: - GOOD LUCK TO YOU! I hope you get your 1.5lbs. Into the 10's, I can't wait until I'm there! Shall post in later! Hoping for my 1/2 stone tonight. Need 3 lbs! Big need!

If it were me.................MALTESERS!!!!!

My WI is also at 5:30. I stuffed my face last week during the day (within the plan of course) and STS. So I'm on a green day today and had nimble with nutella (HEb & 4 syns) apple, pear, tattie & tuna (HE & 2 syns for lighter than light mayo) a muller and some pineapple for later. I will stop...

Thanks ye'all. I am def going to be doing more excercise I just wanted to see the scales drop first, that way I know it's down to my eating healthy and not the upping of exercise. Hoping the eather is nice this weekend and I am going Hill climbing with my OH on Sat! Looking forward to it...

It does. I think I will shift some noticeable weight and then think about toning! I have some funky new running shoes I need to break in!

Funny you should say that cos that is what I was thinking! Lose the 10% then start to tone! However if exercise will speed up weight loss - then I'm in!

Hello! I've not been doing any excercise other than my usual 1 hour long walk with the dog every day. I'm slightly afraid to take up jogging again as I have heard that any damage to your muscles can make you retain water hence a gain or a STS. Anyone found this to be true and does it last...

I've just dug out some pic of me (full bodied ones) that I detest so as my weight loss progress's I can see the changes!

Weekend just passed got back into my size 12 jeans almost comfortably! Moved up to hole 5 in my belt, usually hole 3, sometimes hole 4 but NEVER hole 5! Did this weekend. YAY!

I like to find new meals, otherwise I get stuck making the same things. The pictures look so good but in reality they taste artificial. Anything made with sweetner or fromage frais/natural yogurt just doesn't taste good to me! I've moved on now. Had a better day today and with any luck I'll...

I haven't yet, but I have a jar of passata in the cupboard for that, however we experimented yesterday with a SW meal and it wasn't very good so I am not gonna risk another night of not knowing what to eat - plus, I can't be arsed cooking tonight!!! I'll have some of that with a heap of veg...

I'm on the EE plan and plan on making my OH Homepride pasta bake, herb & tomato. Now the syns in the whole jar is 25.5 syns (for him not a problem, for me a huge problem) if I were to quarter the meal do I count my section as 6.5 syns or is that not how it works??

Looking forward to learning from your vast experience. Well done you!

Hahaha; good to know there are a few other ranting nuts on here who can sympathise with my plight!

To see myself in pictures and not feel ashamed and want to cry!

I knwo. Last night I was hungry and me and an empty stomach to not make for a happy chappy. I've had a lovely bacon sarnie this morning and have loads of fruit to eat through-out the day. I'm sure (i hope) it'll be ok and won't effect my weight loss this week. I had a bad day on Friday so it's...

Thanks everybody; feeling a lot better and more confident today!!!

Good tip! I need to make enuff for 6 peeps cos I always take left-overs for lunch. Madame: That's what I will do. Keep forgetting it's 2 days till WI! Doh!

Syns today 17. Should have been 9! Just annoyed cos I did so well having 1/2 a wispa and not scoffing the lot, only for it to go off track last thing. I'm getting sleepy now so my grump is subsiding.......*yawn*

Thanks. No, I had chilli con carne and rice for luch. Un-measured so i think that cocks me up on both counts!

I do have tatties but by that point I couldn't be bothered waiting. It was nimble wholemeal but I'd already used my HEb on weetabix in the morning. I'm just in a foul mood and over-reacting!

It was just NOT tasty! Even the OH spat it out and he eats anything. Was tasteless and I found the herbs in the pasta gave it a real minty flavour; not my cup of tea. This is not the first time this has happen. The SW tikka curry was awful as was the chocolate cheesecake and the chocolate...

:mad: Right, so my OH had today off work so I asked him to follow one of the receipes in my book for tea tonight. Turkey mince meatballs and herby pasta with a tomato sauce. He followed it to the letter (that's his way) and it was absolutely friggin disgusting! These receipe are a real hit or...

I had to have a chocolate fix, so I bought a wispa and ate half. I gave half away. I presume then it is ok to half the syns? I reckon that's right enuff but I think I just want to brag about only eating half. The other half sat on my desk for an hour before I gave it away. That for me is...

Have you taken your body measurements? Maybe you're losing inches oppose to weight. I sts last week but found at the weekend I could fit back into a pair of jeans that had been in my "will get back into" pile. With all that excercise may be you're toning!!! Plus 8lb in 7 weeks - that's...

I so love that I am not the only one seduced by things I buy. The Nutella I bought was meant to be for the ikids but has been calling me all weekend. I had a sneaky nutella on toast on Friday which took me over my syns..........hey ho!

Then what you are all saying is, I should go ahead and have that Nutella on toast before bed!! YAY!

I don't struggle to use them, no. In fact the opposite. I use around 12 a day on average. I wondered if that is gonna effect my weight loss or not as I know a guy in my group who doesn't need to use them so chooses not to! Just wanted to see what everyone else is doing.

Is it better to use your syns or are they just there in case you fancy something extra?? Is it better to use them or not??

Today has been really good.......and really easy!! B: Bacon (xtra lean) & mushroom omellette with 14g of lighter cheese (tesco). Coffee (HEa) L: Carrot soup. Fruit salad (apple, grapes, pears, orange, kiwi) with muller light yogurt over the top. Coffee & low sugar squash! S: Aplen light...

Was too tired yesterday to come by and up-date my food diary so I'll do yeaterdays and today!! Yesterday started off really well; B: Fruit salad (kiwi, apple, grapes, pear, orange) with 1/2 muller light. Bacon (xtra lean) sandwich with nimble wholemeal (HEb) and a scrap of lurpacklighter (3...

They weren't overly crispy, gonna guess they were the normal ones!! Thank goodness!!! Thanks for your help!

I would agree with this. I can stuff my face with fruit/veg but it's not substantial enough to keep me satisfied for long. I need something with a "bite" to it!

I went to the in-laws today for lunch. We had turkey, new potatoes, carrots, broccolli and anut bessie roast tatties. I passed on the yorkie puds and only had a wee bit of gravy but I did eat 1 aunt bessie's roast potato. How many syns do you think I've used???

Last weigh-in I stayed the same so I thought I'd try a wee diary and then if I don't lose at least you guys can maybe point out where I am going wrong. So Wed was my weigh-in day so I'll put down what I had Thursday first: Breakfast: xtr lean bacon on 2 x wholemeal nimble (HEb) 10g of butter...

I resisted maltesers earlier.............but had syns left so ate a bag on the beach! Yum yum!

Buying a bag of maltesers when i had to stock up on frozen veg this afternoon. Still ressting going to the vending machine and maybe having half a twirl................i shan't, I shan't, i shan't!!

I've never tried Butternut squash. Part of my problem I think, lack of variety! I've seen your web page, it's really good. Gonna nick a few receipes off there I think. Thanks for everyone taking the time to help. I just don't want to have this gut for the rest of!

All day!............ Na, evening and between 9 -12. I get up at 6:30 and have breakfast about 6:45 so it's a looooong time till lunch. I snack on fruit and Alpen bars b4 lunch. Have lunch about 12 - 12:30 and that usually does till tea-time. Evening's can be difficult as i like a wee snack...

Thanks Stefanie: I really like the Muller Lights. THey curb my hunger and taste great! This is what I struggle with. They are free, so I am allowed to eat as many as I like but then a lot of people suggest changing to something else as they're not that good for you! *sigh*

So when do you eat a muller light or a wee sneaky syn?

There's a lot of talk about calorie control, portion control and stopping when you're full. Now I agree that all this is total common sense but there is 2 things that bother me. 1. No-where on the SW plan does it state any of this. 2. If we all had "control" we wouldn't be here in the first...

Oh man, this plan is such a walking contradiction! It's easy but so hard! Well just gonna try and stick to what I'm doing but try eating more veg and eat less!

Is that not defeating the point calorie counting?? There's enough food out there that I need to count (all things synned) without having to watch the calories in the foods I'm allowed to eat as much of as I like! I like Muller's and they are a real god-send to me. I have 2 a day!

I like some veg, most fruit but I can't eat copious amounts of both. There are other free foods such as yogurt and meats, I use my syns everyday. Can not lose weight by eating a sensible amt of free foods, free yogurts/meats and use my syns??

I've made a big pan of homemade broth; totally syn free. I'm gonna have to try eating soup at least once a day. I'm also gonna try the green plan too as it doesn't stipulate 1/3 vveg rule. Not sure what the difference is yet. I just wanna be thinner......!!!!!!!!

I thought I was getting the EE plan. Not sure I fully understand the other colours..........I'll look into it!

Ok. The last couple days I have been analising my food & stuff. Seems I'm not incorporating enuff fruit & veg into my diet. Does anyone else have this problem or is managing to lose weight without overdosing on fruit and veg??? I only ask as I don't think I am doing as well as I thought!

I like Nairn too. I'm originally from Forres, wasn't till I moved here that I could see how pretty it is.

Everything measured, everything super lean and everything else synned! I just not sure I can do this, struggling with the incorporating 1/3 superfree into every meal!! AAAAAARRRRRRgggggggghhhhhh! I'm not doing as well as I thought!!:cry:

My kebab consisted of chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms with a side order of broccolli! I had 2 apples and a pear for snack. Synned my alpen bars, yeah. Syns today = 8.5! I made the chilli beef with soya sauce and chilli's! Quite good! Spicy!

So are we all adding on FB or on here?? I'm confused!?!?!

You're welcome to add me here and FB. I have no friends on here yet as I've not been a member long. http://www.facebook.com/#!/LilLeece79

I've been really good today. B: Bacon sandwich with a scrape of butter (HEb) and a coffee (HEa) s: pear & coffee & alpen bar L: Chilli beef & noodles, muller yogurt S: 2 x apple & diet coke T: Chicken kebab with mexican rice and broccolli. Muller yogurt & alpen bar. Finished with a coffee! Is...

I've been thinking a lot about my STS weigh in yesterday, I'm not feeling as positive today. I honestly could have sworn i'd lost something! I felt lighter and I knew I had cocked up at the weekend cos of my step-daughter's birthday.........I still felt good! I'm concerened that what I am doing...

How on earth am i gonna manage to squeeze in all this veg?? My limited pallet doesn't help!

I'm guilty of jumping on my scales most days. Mine tell me the same weight as the ones at SW cos I alsways weigh myself when I get home and they say the same thing! I had a 3 lb loss at the weekend but when I weighed myself weigh in morning I had STS as previous weigh in. So in my bookie I STS...

Not overly clear are they. So you don't HAVE to, it just helps!

I'm gonna try and skip the grapes, thanks for the tip. Lolacola: thanks for the tip on the soup. I think I was eating soup last week, time to make another pan I thinks! That was only yesterday's food plan, normally i eat more fruit and veg through the day. I must admit that i don't drink much...

I tend to have and apple and a pear mid morning. I don't like tomatoes (wish I did cos they always look tasty) and I can only just manage mushrooms, they're new to my diet. I eat a lot of fruit through the day normally (apple, pear, and a bag of grapes yesterday) normally I have broccolli &...

I'd only had a mug shot yesterday, normally I try to have a baked tattie. I think you're right, my veg intake is a bit low! I'll try and make sure I eat more with my meals. Saying that tho veg for breakfast doesn't appeal!!!!

At weigh-in today I STS! Ok, so I'm disappointed but hey, gotta move on. Anyway, I have had quite a bit to eat today. B: Bacon Omelette & white coffee (HEa) S: Pear & big bag of grapes L: Ham sandwich (scrape of butter, scrape of light Mayo Nimble bread (HEb) and a mug shot noodle thingy...

Bit gutted, stayed the same! Maybe 1/2lb loss but I didn't stick around to find out! I do feel thinner and I feel healthier so I'm trying not to be too dis-heartened!!! Going for a big loss next weekto balance it out! *sigh*

Don't let it get you down. I lost a wee bit my 1st week, put on my second and lost 3 1/2 my third week! It takes a little bit of time to find your stride. Plus the hospital scales get used loads by loads for a long time. They might be waaaay out. Chin up and go find out for sure!

For me i eat as i normally would then the scales will give a true reflection of my weight and not a squ-iff one cos I've not eaten enough all day! I have a wee, wear the sameish clothes (I get weighed after work so I'm normally in similar outfits) and then go home and treat myself to something...

Ok, so I've not lost a load of weight and I'm actually back to the weight I was before xmas, so it's not new territory, but I'm feeling really good just now. I have a weigh in tonight and am hoping for a loss of at least 2 lbs (but who's to say that'll happen) but even if I don't I'm not gonna...

A peppered steak, SW chips, mushrooms fry-lighted, brocolli all cooked by my loving, sexy man!! Mmmmmm!

Synful or not???

Almost anything other than this one - hahaha Any sort of admin job that hopefully can offer promotional opportunities; time to start climbing the ladder me thinks!

I am at work today, didn;t realise how bummed I am until I got here this morning!! Maaaaan, I hate my job!!! Good luck to you all on the hunt for a new one!

I'd take it as a compliment. I'm sure she never meant anything by it. Perhaps it was a case of the little green monster! I was told last week that she was surprised i was there because I'm not fat!!! Imagine how chuffed I was. If that's wot people think now then when I'm 2 stone lighter they're...

Thanks everyone. I have had my downer about it but now time to pick myself up, put it behind me, take the positives with me and go find the job that is meant for me!! It's hard work trying to find a job whether it's the right one on any one, especially in this current climate. For all of you...

I hope you're right. If i have to stay in my current job too much longer I am likely to lose my mind!

:sigh:: Just got the feedback from my interview on Friday. I didn't get the job. Pipped at the post by the last lassie. Apparently I interview really well, presentation is spot on, made the most effort but the winner beat me on a couple points on a personality test. THis is the 2nd job i've...

Thanks guys, appreciate the support. Makes a difference. I'm back on plan and tomorrow we're all of out for a big walk!

No, that's me. Not having anything unless it's syn free (to be honest not in the mood for ANYTHING just now) and I'm back on it tomorrow. Wouldn't have bn "off" it today if it wasn't the wee ones' 8th birthday and her choice of where we went. Couldn't let her eat alone.........ok, i didn't need...

I've taken my step-daughter out for the day for her birthday. I had a 6 inch sub with teryaki chicken, cheese and sw sauce. A pasta meal in Pizza Hut & (oops :() a big bag of maltesers in the cinema; is that it, have I runied my chance of losing lbs this week?????? Has anyone else had a...

I've lost 4lbs in total so far. i would have lost more but in my 2nd week I ruined it cos I had chinese, Indian and other junk food due to thinking I could maybe cheat - didn't work. So over all, it's pretty darned good!

Mala23, that is incredibly informative and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to type that. I will definately be referring to that for each of my applications in the future. Thanks again!!!

Take a pack lunch; hahaha

Welldone you! Must be down to the nookie!

Bread and Cereal, my main dietary need too. I've adapted quickly to the new regime. Think you get withdrawals the first week. Stick with it and you may surprise yourself!

I usually take my whole syn allownce and I'm sticking to EE. Haven't tried the other colours yet as I'm not overly sure how they work to be honest. Only been on it 3 weeks! Good luck.

BRILLIANT. So I am not theonly one who finds themselves getting oober bloated on this eating plan. I had two nights last week where I thought I was gonna pop. Needed to let off so much but can't bring myself to do a minute long parp infront of my fella! I didn't really find anything to help...

Poor you! It'll be easier than it first looks I'm sure.

Hire Co-ordinator (posh name for admin assistant really)

HELP. I'm needing to write in stuff for "additional information" and I just don't know how to start. I'm tired, been a long day at work and the interview is tomorrow. (only had the application 2 days!!) can anyone help me??

To go to on holiday and be able to feel sexy in a bikini. To go on holiday and NOT have my inner thighs sweat and then rub until their sore. To feel like I deserve and look good with my man. To do a strip tease for my fella and not have to worry about the bits that continue to jiggle well after...

WI last night and to my utter amazment I lost 3 1/2 lbs! Ooober chuffed. Go me!! Well done to everyone who lost.

You've got better will power than me. I'm a Pringle! (once pop, can't stop)

Well done to you Shrimpy! I got as close as to ask how they tasted! I then went and sat in a mump till home time!

Hahaha; how did that work out for you?

My first group was 2 1/2 hours long in a freezing cold church hall. The only people that spoke to me were the people who joined the same day as me. When I go for WI there are two people who help with taking money and weighing people. One doesn't speak and the other isn't overly friendly...

I read somewhere on here the other day that if you pop them in the micro for 30 secs they go all squishy and delish! I tried it, it's actually nice. Makes them sweeter!

I sympathise; I get a chocolate fixation when I'm PMT'd! Think that's why i've over Syned this week. Have an Alpen Light bar and eat it REALLY slowly!

My lovely work collegues have just brought in a whole heap of lovely cakes....... I've said "No thanks, I'm aff 'em!" :coffee:

WI tomorrow..............yikes! Gonna be VERY good today and tomorrow!

Thanks guys. I think I'm just so used to having something sweet, like a sweet, after my tea! I'm gonna try going for a walk/jog when I'm feeling peckish. Exercise normally staves off the hunger or need!

I'd love that, thank you! I've tried SW tikka massala and tonight I made the chocolate cheesecake. Both inedible as far as my OH and I go! Getting me down that I can't find nice tasty treat-like things to eat! Appreciate your advice!

I've been over my syn allowance practically every day this week! I just can't help myself! It's evenings that are my downfall. I'm not eating loads of stuff. Maybe an alpen bar too many, fudge bar too many, digestive too many! Help me!!:wave_cry:

No, I won't be going back to eating everything in sight but I would like to eat more bread & flour, Milk and butter. I LOVE my lasagne, SW lasagne just doesn't compare!

I've been thinking recently, once I reach my target weight will I put it all back on again as soon as I start eating normally?? I don't really like the foramage frais, natural yogurt, cottage cheese receipes. Artificial sweetner makes things taste, well, artificial! I have to watch what I eat...

I use coffee in the same way but find i'm up 3-6 times a night peeing!! Better than being hungry I guess.

I always empty my bladder and strip off as much clothes as I can (when I say "always" I mean twice!)

Oh crap I've had a really rubbish day food wise. Back on track tomorrow, still time to lose weight or have a fluffed it again!?! Wed is not too far away! Yikes!

Hi everyone. I tried making a smoothie the other day from frozen fruit! It was FAR too tart.:doh: Can you help me make a syn free TASTY smoothie please. I know it should be easy but I'm just not sure if I just don't use as much fruit..... Appreciate any suggestions.

Well done all you "losers". I wasn't as fortunate, put on a 1 1/2lb and it's only my second week! I know where I went wrong so I'm not too mad, and it's * week. I'll try a lot damn harder this week I tell you! Again, well done you lot, you should be proud!

Bad week ends today as my WI is tonight! Finding stuff to eat hard work and EXPENSIVE! You should see my cupboards. FULL of condiments and stuff but no actual use on their own *sigh* I will get this, I have to. Wish me luck, think I'm gonna need it!

B: Bacon sandwich with Nimble Wholemeal & coffee (HEA & HEB) L: 2 x Ryvita Slims & Pasta & Meatballs (syn free) T: Omellete (cheese or ham, undecided) S: Apple & Oranges! D: Coffee & 2 x diet coke.

Hey Bugbunny2000, Thanks for the advise; I WILL be going to my WI tonight and dependant on how I get on I will stay for the group session. I found my first group session a lot dull and not very helpful. Maybe it's just because I wasn't really involved, being as it was my first. I'll stick...

I pigged out when I went Fri! I had chicken tikka Koria, 1 1/2 poppadoms with all the dips! And a slither of pashwaree naan! Was SOOOOOO tasty!

Left over meatballs, pasta and homemade tomato sauce!

Got my 2nd WI tonight. Tempted not to go as I have had a terrible week!! Chinese, Indian and chocolate. I'm gonna go and see what damage I have done but I may be a lot ashamed if I have put back on the two pund I've lost!!! Anyway, are these WI accurate? What about you "lady" week? Fluid...

Oooooh, sounds good. How many syns?

I've had a terrible week. I am so unorganised and find I'm hungry a lot! I try to eat all the free foods but fruit as a snack just doesn't seem to fill me up and I crave something more substantial! Snack foods are practically non-existent on this plan. Everything needs to be cooked or prepared...

Not this time; I was out for curry Fri night, out for lunch we my girls on Sat afternoon and ended up eating CHEESECAKE! and today I have had crisps & chocolate. I've had a bad day and feel like crying. Motivation VERY low! Think I'll skip class this week and get back to it on wed!

I'm planning on keeping away from the naan and the starters. I like Poppadoms so I can't see me turning away from those! As for the curry, I really like the onion fried rice (syns? 21/5?) and I'll be having a tomato based curry so that should help too! The crisps........well nowt I can do about...

I know i shouldn't but the temptation is too much. I liek to see the weight loss for myself. But I shall take your advice and get rid of the scales!

Well done you! Good luck to you both. I've only been on SW for a week. 2lb loss on my first week so you did better than me! xxx

I'm going for a curry tonight, and I don;t know the syn value for the curry I am planning or how many pop's I'll eat. I do know I will fore-go a starter and the Nam bread!! I don;t drink so low fat fizzy juice will be drunk. I'll be back on the plan tomorrow with avengence! Out with the girls...

Sorry for my delay in letting you know about my WI. I was lucky and lost 2lbs.not as much as I hoped but better than nothing. Unfortunately tonight I am off for a curry with friends so i am having a flexi - syn day. Maybe not lose anything next week but hope not to put on. Well done Jennyc for...

WI wed; lost 2lb! About to blow it tonight as i'm going out for a curry (organised b4 xmas!) and I've had a bag of crisps. Jings! Can I still lose by next wed??

Dunno yet, craply organised yet again!! Trip to Tesco later.

My rather dull menu is decided prior to eating. Only been doing this for a week and my organisation is a bit squiff to say the least. B: Mini weetabix & Milk L: Think chicken salad T: summin else with chicken I start work @ 8 so up at 6:30. Home by 5:30 and I'm done in. Need some...

As will i tonight! Good Luck!

Right, so i've been on the SW healthy eating for a week now (weigh-in tomorrow) and I've been struggling for snack type foods and lunch time meals. Just bought in a load of ingredients from Asda in order to start making some SW food. So I thought I better start with the Mousse...

I've also been doing the diet for a week. I'm struggling to fill myself cos I'm struggling with meals and there's no real setting for snacks. I'm worried about my first weigh in tomorrow. Thinking I could potentially be the first ever SW member NOT to lose on their first week! But if you go...

I'm a week old SWmember. Finding it a wee bit hard as I have to cut down the things I eat most (bread, cheese, Milk!). Thought I'd lost 4 lbs this week so far but checked today and back up again. Not sure if summin is wrong or if it's a blip! ANyway, i hope you find it easier than I. Maybe...
