Hi. I also do it online. I'm now in my second week. Love it. Good luck.

First weigh in today and I've lost 6.5lbs :D So pleased!

Hi all, Could I join? My first wi is this Friday and my last (of May) will be the 31st - that makes 8 weeks. I'd like to lose 12lbs. And well done Leesider!

I've also joined online. Good luck :D

I haven't had one ready meal since I started WW - granted it's only been a week, but I am microwave meal queen! I've been making wraps and salads the night before, stocking up on plenty of protein and have made a huge amount of 0PP soup to have during the day. I've never been hungry and as I've...

Can anyone help solve a query? Searching for this on the the ww online tracker thing brings up 1pp per pot. Using the calculator brings it up as 2pp - that's not the problem, I understand it can vary when you calculate it like that. My question is, some people are saying that once you add the...

Hi everyone! I've bitten the bullet and joined WW online today. I'm back to my heaviest :mad: and I need to shift this weight! Previously I've done SW and lost 2 stone and also dukan and lost the same. I've dabbled with WW before but not really stuck to it. I'm starting a new job soon and I'm...

I have worcestershire sauce which is free.

I've been naughty and not updated for a while but... I lost 7.5lbs at my first wi. Yay!

Well done everyone xx I lost 7.5lb on my first feb wi. Yay! I'm not going to amend my target because at the minute the 7lb at the end of the month is all I'm aiming for. Can someone update mine for me? Thanks x

What did you put in the syn calculator?? If the chicken was cooked without oil then that'd be free on EE and red or hexb on green. If it was cooked with oil than add a syn or 2. Same goes for the potato - no butter or anything so on EE and green that would be free and a hexb on red. The peas...

I just checked their website Miller & Carter - Home and it says "In the Steakhouse Restaurant at every Miller & Carter you'll find expert grill chefs plying their skills. Our fantastic menu includes premium beef steaks, as well as great fish, lamb, chicken and pork options all grilled to...

Tonight we're having a curry. I'm having chicken madras (which I'll syn) with sw chips and boiled rice. Excited.

I do understand that's the point but I can't quite get my head around the too much fruit will affect losses thing. I know that too much of almost anything can, obviously, hinder weight loss but why the emphasis on fruit? How much is too much? (I don't have anywhere near enough fruit to be fair...

Thanks for the reply Helen. I suppose if we're picking up the fruit instead of the crisps and chocolate at least it's healthier!

I've searched the site but all I could find is "Basic/Non Branded Foods Hot drinks, Drinking chocolate, dried 1 heaped tsp Original 1 Syns Green 1 Syns"

I do this. Can't get through the day without my juice.

I've just seen a comment about not having too much fruit as it has sugars in it and this can affect losses. Has anyone found this to be the case? How much is too much? I've never heard this before so I thought I'd ask and see what you all think.

I have jacket spud as already mentioned and take some chicken and salad to go with it. I make sure I have melon, apple, pineapple, grapes, bananas too. You could take hifi bars, mugshots. You could also make soup to take?

I think I'll have to try options hot choc with warm milk! I love melon and grapes. I'm going to have to go shopping and fill my fridge.

I have done! I love having SW chips with beans.

I'm doing the plan from home. This is mainly due to money but also because I know I can't to commit to the classes each week due to work and OHs shifts. I've never done it at home without attending class before but I can only take it one day at a time and I'm hoping the support from here will...

Portion sizes depend on the person. What would satisfy one person may not be enough for the next. I have a big appetite but I'm learning to eat until I am satisfied not until I am fit to burst. I don't judge when I'm done or how much is right by the size / emptiness of my plate anymore.

Hiya. I don't like cheese and I rarely have milk. I think what I might do is try and introduce more milk into my diet, maybe by having cups of tea? Or even just a glass of milk! I am on EE but because I still haven't done a big shop I don't have that much to hand for SS foods. I've made some...

Week one and I'm not doing the best. There have been meals skipped and twice I've chose chips rather than the healthy option. However, I have to look at the positive changes too. I haven't been eating for the sake of it, I've had fruit every morning when I used to have nothing, I'm drinking a...

Day 5 - Friday B - Apple D - Chips with curry sauce. I had half a carton, not much at all and I didn't even enjoy it. I should have stuck with a jacket spud! Guestimate 15 syns. T - Omelette, beans. Snacks and drinks - diet cranberry blue charge, banana and lots of water. Syns for the...

Day 4 - Thursday B - Melon D - Jacket potato with chicken and salad (lettuce, cabbage and onion) and worcestershire sauce. T - Skipped. Had a family meeting with MIL & FIL. It was horrible. Lasted over 3 hours and after they left I went straight to bed. That's 2 meals I've skipped this...

Well done, that's great. I'm still at the talking about it stage, I haven't managed to actually go out and do it yet!

It really was.

Day 3 - Wednesday B - Apple Turned into a very busy day and didn't have a break at work so didn't have dinner. Very bad! T - Massive bowl of slimming world chips. Syns - none today but that carton of chips I had yesterday must be about 20 so for the week - 25 syns

I had jacket potato with chicken and salad (lettuce, cabbage and onion) and worcestershire sauce.

Sorry you're feeling poorly, but well done on staying so motivated. I'm in a similar situation, OH and I decided to split in November but since then we've got on better than ever and we're no nearer to being apart. Very confusing. Anyway, keep at it!

Day 2 - Tuesday B - Pineapple Feeling positive about what I'm eating and less bloated after just one day. I have a football match to attend tonight so it's going to be hard to resist the chips and lager! D - Jacket potato with chicken and salad (lettuce, cabbage and onion) and...

I'm not used to syning bread or counting calories, or even eating that bread! So it's a surprise to me. Last time I eat it.

Excellent Karen.hat, well done!

Apparently it's 96 cals per slice. AAARGH! So that's 5 syns. It was so not worth it.

Thanks so much for the advice re: calories and syns. A colleague gave me the slice so I have no idea on the content. Off to google for me.

That's excellent. You must be so proud, and so you should be.

Oh dear, the comment about the lady sat on her behind eating for the sake of it and never moving reminds me of someone I know... ME! Not anymore *runs up and down the stairs a few times until the guilt fades*:D

It isn't deep friend it's cooked on a hot plate / grill.

Hello, I had a slice of this today - I was desperate and it wasn't very nice. Does anyone know the syn value? I have searched and can't find anything. Thank you.

Day 1 - Monday B - Pineapple Never been much of a breakfast person so having this fruit is a step in the right direction. D - Turkey slices with salad (lettuce, cabbage and onion) and worcestershire sauce. I also had one slice of warbutons wheat free and gluten free bread - 5 syns and not...

Hello, I plan to do SW at home. I'm a mother of two (youngest is 9 so can't blame the baby bulge any longer! ha) and bigger than I've ever been. I hope to lose 2 and a half stone. But hey, a few pounds will do at the minute! I tend to be very samey with what I eat and go through phases of...

Hello, I'm also doing SW at home and similar to you I'm going through a split, or I may be... Complicated! But anyway, I understand a little. Your food diary looks good to me. But don't worry too much about going over your 15 syns a day, just pull some back the next. And if you feel you can't...

Day one and 100% so far. I say so far because it's not over yet! but I'll get there.

Because they go soggy.

Of course it's ok. Just like the days we can't stop stuffing our faces we also have the days that we can't face anything. For your the good of your health though I'd suggest you try something, even if it's only small. And that is what this place is for - sharing x

Oh I know all about SW chips. They are my saviour! Just had them for tea :D Unfortunately, not able to have them at work but the thought of them keeps me going through the day!

You're welcome. At least now you have an idea of how much you can have without feeling guilty.

I think it may be because you're using quote rather than copy and paste? Maybe. I'm not sure.

I've also disappeared from the list. Oh dear :doh:

Good luck x

I have SW chips, a piece of cod and mushy peas.

Day one for me. For breakfast I had some pineapple. Then for lunch I had turkey with salad (lettuce, cabbage, onions) with worcestershire sauce. I've also had a banana as a snack. I resisted chips. Yay!

I keep making excuses so I understand. Get some good quality running shoes and see your GP before you start if you're unsure. Look at me, so good with the advice but then not actually taking the plunge myself!

No problem Amandas11976 x

I think I have some savoury rice at work. I'll have to check that it's still free.

I love making curries but I've never been able to make a madras like you get when you order one in / go out to eat.

Hello. I need to diet! I've decided to follow SW again. Without joining a class at the minute. I know I do better when I go to class but I've failed the past couple of times because I haven't been able to commit to the classes - life, work, kids, OH shift pattern - and when I missed I class...

I think what I'll do is have the curry but make my own chips or have plain rice with it. I can do without all of the extra's it's the actual curry that I love.

I was going to say 'well baby must have wanted it!' :D I think not having an indian meal on a weekend is going to be one of the hardest parts of my weight loss journey.

I'm a sucker for an indian meal. Try not to fret too much. We can't deny ourselves everything all of the time. You've done great losing 8lbs! Just get back to plan, without punishing yourself, look forward not back. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll need it!

Thank you. I have no shopping in and I'm wondering what the hell to eat at work tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.

Also, using google I found "Doritos are 10 syns for any 40g bag". Not sure how accurate but hope it helps a little anyway!

Hello, I found these. Hope it helps.

As with all of the free foods, they are unlimited. But as with all foods, you should only eat until you are satisfied not fit to bursting (as I am so so guilty of). Enjoy! Ps. I'm having a bowl full later.

I have seen a few people say "on SW you can eat as much as you want". That's not right. You eat as much as you need, you eat until you are satisfied. There's no guarantee you'll lose weight the first week, your body may need time to adjust, especially if you're taking advantageof all of the...

Hello. I've decided to take the plunge and follow th SW plan - again! I've joined and left a few times, not sure why I haven't stuck to it. But now I have to. I had considered counting calories (I'd get obsessed and then depressed) as well as WW, despite it not working for me before, but...

If it was me I'd go for steak or chicken with a jacket potato. I'd ensure, like has already been said, that I stayed clear of creamy sauces and anything deep fried. However, don't punish yourself. Have this one meal 'off' if you need to, and then get back on it. There are very few people who...

I have this and gave it a try. I thought I was going to die that first week and found every excuse to give up and did just that. I often think I'd love to be able to run. Maybe I'll give it another go.

I need to get my bum into gear so I'd like to join. Even 10 hours sounds unachievable to me. But I'm going to do it! Miss Mango: 15 hours - 0 done Julie2011: 20 hours - 0 done Judimac : 15hours - 0 done Nicola85 : 15 hours - 0 done *Sparkles*: 5hours - 0 done Shazzabir : 10 hours - 0 done...

All diets start on a Monday, right? And mine is no different. I have 2 and a half stones to lose. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it yet, what plan, how I'll stay motivated, how I'll learn to say no to all of the things I've said yes to that have contributed to me getting to this size...

Hello. I'm also starting my weight loss journey tomorrow. Well, I suppose I'm starting now I just haven't decided what plan to follow yet! We can all motivate each other. Good luck!

Don't fret, that weight WILL fall off. Keep going, if it doesn't show this week it's sure to show next week. Good luck.

Ah, thank you. And good luck to you too.

Hello. I'm in need of some motivation. Haven't decided what to plan to follow yet and haven't even weighed myself (like I need the scales to tell me I need to make a change!) but I thought joining minimins would be the first step. So yeah, hi!
