SATURDAY 5TH MARCH Today will be a EXTRA EASY day as i tend to do these at weekends so i can have a roast dinner on Sundays! B - Bacon sarnie with wholemeal bread L - SW quiche with bacon, SW chips & salad D - I am going out for dinner so i am guessing nothing on the menu will be SW...

Hey Laura, just wanted to wish you good luck with your weight loss. I love the sound of the SW quiche, i'm going to look for the recipe now so i can buy ingredients at Tescos. Well done on the walking too.. you are heading in the right direction. Don't worry, we all have off days/weeks, the key...

Far too many cocktails consumed last night!! :sign0007: Oh well, today is new day! Onwards and upwards! Today is a GREEN day: B - 3 egg omlette, 2 slices of wholemeal toast (HEXB) L - probably a jacket potato with cheese & beans (HEXA) D - Homemade tacos (6 syns) made with quorn mince...

Today is a red day: Disclaimer: I am going to a birthday do tonight and on Saturday so may go slightly off the rails! Today was my weigh in day and i have lost just over 1lb... so fingers crossed i can claw back any extra syns i may consume over the next few days at beginning of next week...

*LOL* :D Love Harry Hill. Yes, my book only has the red and green syns too. When i do EE i take the lower syn amount, i am doing it DIY myself this time though. The last time i went to a meeting was in 2009!

Talking of wine, i've got a birthday do tonight and all the girls going are wine lovers... so i need some extra strong willpower! I am going to try a glass of sparkling water for every wine i have. Fingers crossed!

Just wanted to wish you luck on your journey, we can all do this together! :)

Okay, so today's food has been slightly edited! Still a RED day: B - wholemeal cheese & bacon toastie on George Foreman grill - HEXA & HEXB S - banana and bowl of Cheerios (5.5 syns & milk from HEXA) L - chicken salad S - grapes and yoghurt D - Salmon, potato (2 syns) and salad S -...

Hi, i have a similar amount to lose, i've just started doing Slimming World and i've been going to the gym for a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed i'll do it. Good luck with your weight loss :)

Hi! I am an expert on week 2, i've been doing it for 3 weeks lol :o It's six runs of 90 seconds with 2 minute walks in between runs and a 5 minute warm up walk at the beginning and end.

Weds 2nd March Today is a Red day: B - bowl of fruit & fibre with skimmed milk (HEXA & HEXB) S - wholemeal bread bacon sarnie (HEXB) I wouldn't usually have this but i won't get to eat lunch till late, so this will tide me over! L - chicken salad S - Grapes D - salmon with 1 boiled potato...

Okay, so i went to the gym after work, and when i got home i was too hungry to wait for the jacket potato to cook in the oven, so ended up having some Asda Good For You oven chips (5 syns)? with an omlette and quorn burger. Luckily even with the chips, i am still 3 syns under the max 15...

Just back from the gym after doing week 2 day 2 for the third week! lol I am determined to move onto week 3 next week, i just need to push myself! Good luck everyone :)

LOL, that would be some combination! :D

Thanks, Circes! I usually have them with skimmed milk from my HEXA allowance, so 5.5 syns is much more doable!

I do love a glass of wine myself, but i have been trying to go cold turkey without it since starting to try and lose weight, because, like you, one glass is never enough! ;) I find it best to just go without as cutting down isn't an option, once i've got the taste for it, it's all over!

There are some fab recipes in there, i am going to try the Paella and Lemon Meringue Pie ones over the weekend! :wavey:

Does anyone know how many syns there are in bowl of regular Cheerios? If i divide 170 cals by 20 it works out to 8.5, but i'm confused as to why they would be more syns than the honey ones? Thanks.

I have to confess to having KFC last night, so trying to make up for that over the next couple of days! Plus i have 2 birthdays this week so i am out Thurs and Sat, and just been invited out to dinner on Friday as well, so i need to be extra good on the syn front till then! lol

Well i decided to start back on SW last monday but most of my food left in my fridge and cupboards, was geared towards WW, so this is my proper start... today is the first day towards the new me! Today is a Green day: B - cheese toastie made with wholemeal bread and lighter grated mature...

lol once i get into it i enjoy it, not at first though!

I am doing SW diy this time around, and i've been doing a mix of red, green and extra easy... is this still allowed? Or do you have to do all extra easy or all red/green? Thanks in advance!

Hi all I've been really bad and haven't run since last week... shame on me! Am planning to go tomorrow after work though, i am still on week 2 for the third week because i've been so lazy! I'm determined to move on to week 3 next week though. Good luck everyone!

Well today is my first day doing SW properly! Red day: Breakfast - bowl of fruit & fibre with skimmed milk - HEXA & HEXB Lunch - Salad with leftover pork & cold SW roasties, maybe a couple of ryvitas or 2 slices of wholemeal bread (HEXB) Dinner - chicken in pitta bread (7 syns), salad...

I can only echo what the others have posted, you look amazing! What did you do to get your stomach so flat?!!

Hi Glad i saw this post as i was just thinking early that i'd like to try those Maggi mixes... might try the Chicken Herbs one and the Paprika one. Thanks!

Thurs - day 3 of SW. Well on Thursday i had some WW wholemeal toast and some mini weetabix for brekkie, both HEXB, with skimmed milk. But then lunch kind of went to pot, as i had a meeting all morning i grabbed a wholemeal blt sarnie from Greggs for lunch, then had a clementine for snack in the...

That sounds yummy, gonna buy some desert rice next week and give it a go!

I am planning a roast dinner tomorrow and have the asda yorkshires that you heat up for 4-6 mins, can someone please tell me the syns in these? Also, if i do my own roasties in fry light, are they free if i do EE? Thanks in advance!

Happy about that, as i had an Asda one last night with the Quorn lamb style grills!

Ouch! *lol* Extra working out down the gym next week then! ;)

Hello I had a mozzarella, pesto and tomato baugette from Asda, can anyone please let me know the damage syn-wise? Here's the NV per baugette which is around 200g: Carbs: 50 Cals: 494 Protein: 18.1 Sat Fat: 7.2 Fat: 20 Thanks!

Well one big reason not too, is the 2 inches off your waist, it shows you are toning up even if you haven't seen a major lose on the scales, 2 inches off in 2 weeks isn't to be sneezed at, hon! So deffo leave those chocs alone as that is a fantastic result!

Hi all, can i join in? I want to lose weight: 1. To feel healthy and fit 2. To go into a shop and pick a size 12 off the rack instead of hunting for a size 18 3. So i'm not the biggest in my group of friends 4. So i can look hot in a bikini when i go to visit friends in Australia ;)

Aimee, just wanted to wish you success with your weight loss. Remember it's not about the destination, it's about the journey... don't look to the big final goal otherwise it'll seem unattainable. Look to the short term, set yourself small goals. Are you doing any exercise? Its not only good for...

I've just started back on SW after a disasterous few months on WW.. i just could not get on with their new pro points and barely lost 6lbs in just over 2 months! I did SW about a year ago and had minor success but i wasn't in the right head space to commit to it. I am now in a whole different...

Hi! I did exactly the same thing yesterday, i don't really care if anyone else reads, i find it beneficial to have it there so i can see in black and white what i've been doing. Good luck!

I've been lurking on this forums for months now so i thought it was about time i joined up! I was doing WW since last November but i just cannot get on with the new pro points system so i started back on SW yesterday. I am doing it myself as i still had all my old books from when i was a...

Hi everyone, I did week 2, day 2 today, i'm repeating a week as i've had some time off due to illness. Felt like i had a good run today though and it wasn't as much of a struggle! I also used the cross trainer and bike so my calves are burning now ;)

Well today i have a nice day off work! Just have 3 rashers of bacon done on my George Foreman grill and an egg fried in a little olive oil as i have no frylight, but will buy some today, with a wholemeal roll. I am off to the gym later to do my couch 2 5k training and then will have a salad for...

Hi! Where did you buy the bran scans from? I might give them a go. If i am at work i can easily drink 2ltrs of water a day but at home i barely drink one glass... must try harder :)

Hello :wavey: Can i join your challenge too? I started doing the C25K four weeks ago, and was almost at week 3 when i got struck down by a chest infection :( I went back to the gym last week and re-did week 2 day 1, and tomorrow i am going to do week 2 day 2, i am hoping to feel confident...

Love your food diary! I am back on SW again after a year off and a brief encounter with WW. The SW KFC sounds delicious, i am off to track down that receipe for tomorrow's dinner.

Forgot to add, my current weight is 14st 9lbs, so it's a BIIIG trek to 10 stone! Hopefully i'll get there. I am hoping to go to Australia at the end of the year so ideally i'd love to be at goal by then but i'd settle for at least half-way there! :)

Hi all I am new to the boards, not new to SW though, as i am returning member after defecting from WW, for the last time! I only decided last night to start doing SW again, and i am doing it on my own this time without the help of a meeting, as there are none at a good time near me. Soo.. i...

Anyone??

Hi there! I've been doing WW since last Nov, but really cannot get to grips with the new pro points, so have reverted back to SW, which i did for a year in 2009. I still have all my old books so i am giving it a go myself without attending a class and see how i get on. I only decided to do SW...
