It did, but then re started after a few months.

Hello everyone, I was so delighted to receive the email saying minis is back. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

If you go to Amsterdam you should try to visit Anne Frank's house. Amazing how her family managed to hide there for years from the Germans. If you take a canal tour it is one of the stops where you can get off as the boats are Hop On, Hop Off like the tour buses in other cities.

I work in a library and we definitely received a free copy. I've borrowed it myself this week.

Ooh, the Greek mullers are £1.50 for four in Tesco and I thought that was good. Co op is even better but our branch is small so may not have many.

I have no advice for you but I'm hoping there are some replies as I'd like to know the same thing.

I'm sure I've seen an advert that says in class from 5th September. Would that make sense as it is October issue?

Our Lidl only has the vegetarian ones not the red onion and I believe those have syns.

They are half a syn I believe and I agree they are lush.

Yes I hate those. It used to be FarmVille but Candy crush seems to have taken over now.

Raspberry wine vinegar and lemonade according to a post on page 1 of this thread.

Do you mean the strawberry and the lemon ones? They are half a syn each. Also the coconut ones.

Welcome back. We've all missed you and your advice.x

One more day and still no alcohol.

I was brought up to finish everything on my plate 'because there were children starving in Africa who would be thrilled with the food I was leaving'. I think we were so hard up my Mum thought that food being 'wasted' was a sin. I still can't leave food on my plate so I try not to put too much on...

Only two weeks to go.

It's amazing how often you meet someone who was on a previous cruise, even if you didn't actually meet the first time, if you understand what I mean. On our first cruise there was a couple who we admired every night as they twirled around the dance floor. Next summer they were there again...

Looking really good.

It's fab isn't it.

Still not had any alcohol, not even communion wine as I have only been to church for Family service. Finding it quite easy apart from days when work is stressful and I could really drink a large glass of white.

Have a great time on your cruise. Tell us all about it when you get back.

Still not had any alcohol. Went out on Saturday and drank slimline tonic. Mind you I did have a lovely cheesecake for pudding so not really angelic.

How are you doing this week? Planning a wedding is a lovely time but stressful as well. Hope every thing is going well.

I am trying to give up alcohol. I am not a big drinker but we often have a bottle of wine on a Saturday night between hubby and me. I think having said I won't drink is now making me want a glass. I sound like an alcoholic and I'm really not. Also we are invited to dinner with some friends at...

Every year my son and his lovely partner give up chocolate. At Easter when she can she can start eating it again she is like a big kid. I have never seen anyone so excited. I thought I might do the same this year and then yesterday I ate two chocolate biscuits without thinking. So I have...

If I won the lottery I would employ someone to change the sheets on my bed every day. Just love a nice fresh bed!

Hugh Jackman-- marry. (I should be so lucky) David or Victoria Beckham

It started as an equality pay issue and 'progressed' from there. I work for the Local council and they have evaluated all jobs throughout the county council. I work as a library assistant and they consider we are overpaid at £8.00 an hour. I didn't expect to gain anything but I didn't expect a...

Don't you just hate it when your employers finish their Pay and grading review after 7 years and your section is 'awarded' a ten per cent pay cut.

Just read this. So sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time. xx

Finally found these. Tried one yesterday and they are very moreish.

Shirleen, thinking of you and your family. Big hugs.

I'm a huge fan of Les Mis and although I am 250 miles from London I have managed to see the show four times over the years. One time the Master of the House was played by Peter Polycarpiou (spelling?) who was Sharon's Greek husband in Birds of a Feather. He was absolutely brilliant. Thought the...

Hi, we were on Aurora. Sailed from Southampton to Vigo, Madeira Barbados,Antigua, Tortola and St Maartin. Supposed to sail back via the Azores but a seriously ill passenger meant we diverted to Madeira for a short visit to avoid about ten sea days in a row. I love the sea days so I was delighted...

Hi, Hubby and I have just returned from a 22 night cruise and I confess that I put on 11 lbs but three have gone already just by being back to normal routine. I have not been following any sort of diet this week as we are living from the freezer and the cupboards, apart from veg and milk. We...

Wishing you both a very Happy Anniversary.xx

Bacon,egg, mushrooms and tomato followed by sugar free jelly, a satsuma and some fromage frais that was mixed with two teaspoons of chocolate orange options. Not sure how many syns but sooooo worth it.

Porridge and an apple today.

Made this tonight with butternut squash chips and salad. I'm very full and pleased I've found this recipe.

Hope you feel better soon. Big hugs.

Bought a stir fry pack for 49p as it had today's date on. Had it with noodles. Quick and cheap.

DYJHIW something you have eaten or touched is making your face itch so much that you want to scratch it off. Just had to go to chemists for antihistamines and cream. Hope this goes soon.

Congratulations!

Think that just proves that two weeks can pass so quickly that it seems like only one.xx

Congratulations! Some times I feel as if I will never get there.

That may be why there is nothing in the new booklet that I picked up yesterday. I knew it was every two weeks but got confused which week was changeover.

That's the super six until tomorrow.Anyone know what the super six is from Sunday please?

Sorry, been away until today helping son and girlfriend move house. Kim & co is a range of ladies clothes sold on QVC. They don't crease easily and have a fair bit of stretch and all items mix and match. They are quite expensive but have a very devoted fan base.

Rosielea, there is quite a bit of Kim & co on eBay at the moment.

I have some Kim and co that I was going to eBay. There is a nice maroonish red top I believe is a Large. I'll check later.

Haven't posted on this thread for ages as I have just been up and down between 11st 10 and 11st 12 for weeks now. Weighed this morning and I am 11st 9 for the first time in months. It does seem that the scales only show a loss after a red day. I must just hang on to everything when I have a...

Well done you. We should all count our blessings more often even if it's just to remind ourselves when times get tougher.

Does the newspaper and my weekly mag count as necessities? If they do then it was NSD Wed and Thurs.

Yesterday one of my customers said to me 'Blimey girl you are getting thinner by the day'. As I am sixty and have only lost about a pound in the last six weeks I was pleased by the 'girl' as much as the 'getting thinner'.

Potato, peas, carrots and mushrooms with chicken casserole. HEB of chicken.

Leek and potato soup and two scan bran followed by a pear.

Spicy Jen or Angelina

No spend Wednesday as in bed poorly. Better yesterday but spent 85p on newspapers.

Please let it be Carl. It's time he got his just desserts.

But someone has to buy them in the first instance whereas the library is free, always.

Witha kobo you can borrow e books from your local library. You can't borrow with kindle as Amazon won't allow it.

If it does this to our dishes what does it do to our digestive system? Just a thought.

Home made lentil soup.

Crunchy bran, a pear and a shape yogurt and a nice big mug of tea.

I usually do soak the lentils overnight. Just put them in a basin and cover with cold water. I rinse them several times the next day and drain through a sieve. I either use all lentils or a mixture of lentils and the soup / broth mix that has pearl barley and peas etc. My stew consisted of the...

Made a huge pan of lentil soup yesterday. Gonna be a few windy days this week.

That's really lovely. I wish I could crochet. I can knit and sew reasonably well but never managed to master a crochet hook. Is that a wool or cotton throw?

Fantastic news.xx

Lamb shanks with rosemary and mint from Aldi because they were half price with a voucher from the Daily Mirror a few days ago.

Trouble is if you get it wrong when you d I y the solicitors make more money sorting it out and there's nothing left to inherit.xx

For those of you thinking about making a will there is a scheme every Oct/ Nov where certain solicitors will draw up you will free of charge if you make a donation to certain charities. Your local library should have a list of the participating solicitors and a list of their nominated charities...

Just saw the photos and I agree with everyone else that you, the hair and the dress look fabulous.be proud of how well you are doing and enjoy the day.xx

Baked potato and baked beans followed by an apple and a shape yogurt.

That was meant to be crunchy bran.

Activia yogurt,crunchy ran and a pear with a large mug of tea.

It's just two more sleeps to your daughter's wedding and finally things seem to be falling into place after nine months preparation. The SW plan went out the window today but I'll get back on it after the weekend.

DYJHIW you break a tooth just days before your daughters wedding. Thankfully the dentist will fit me in on Thursday. Bad news is that it means driving 110 miles each way to the detail surgery.

Crunchy branwith blackberries and activia yogurt.

Thank you. Imade a pizza with one today. It was yummy so worth the syns occasionally.

I know these are 5 syns but can they be counted as a HEB please?

Oh that is awful. Is it a bad road or just people speeding?

Reminder to self. Get a boyfriend. Do you think my husband will object? Probably not if it means a clean house.

Have an amazing day. My daughter is getting married on Sept 8 th and I can't sleep as my head is still making lists of things that still need to be done.

I most definately am and as long as I don't start going up more than a pound or two I am not going to stress too much. I would have liked to have lost a bit more before the wedding next week but I fit in my outfit and I want people looking at my daughter, not at me.

Still hovering around 11 st 12. Don't seem to make much progress. Down 2 lb up 1. Must stop having visitors or going away for weekends and holidays.Lol.

Well done supergirl and thanks for the reminder to visit Matalan. Haven't been for ages.

No it wasn't in the offer when I bought it either. Only bought two because I thought it was cheaper.

If I lost three pounds you would hear screams of delight for miles around.

Hi Chloe, Well my attempts to lose a bit more weight before the wedding on Sept 8th seem destined to fail. I guess a weeks holiday was not a good idea food wise, but it did let me escape from wedding madness. I weighed in this week and I am one pound heavier than two weeks ago. It was worse than...

A curly wurly and I had a kitkat earlier. Just craving sweet stuff today . must stick to plan tomorrow.

And so must the knickers. Lol.

Thank you all for my birthday greetings and thank you for cheering me up with your wardrobe malfunctions. I am always guaranteed a laugh on minimins.

But it won't be next week. If you stick to the plan.xx

Thank you. I have decided to drink a few gins and s* d it.

Thank you. I know I'm feeling sorry for myself but Me and the kids bought him a personalised number plate and he had breakfast in bed and champagne at dinner for his 60th. All I've had is the silent treatment.

DYJHIW it is your birthday, the one where you should have got your pension, but the damn government keeps moving the goalposts.Still, you manage to go away on holidays but noone knows it is your birthday and so no one says those two little words to you. Your husband gets you a card but no...

Well after a week of following EE I am exactly the same weight as last week.No miracle cure for me lol

Well done and enjoy your holiday.

Yes I'm dreading that too.

Don't panic just yet.Someone may have put it away in the safe or something and not recorded it inher notes. Hop you find it for her.Might even be inor under her bed.

I don't have very much too lose but I find it slow going like you do. I lost 21 lbs following SW onmy own but I now seem stuck. I actually joined class last week and I have been following EE. Come Monday we willsee what happens as at the moment I don't think I 've lost anything.

Have a brilliant time on the cruise.I love cruises. We want all the details when you get back.

See I am telling lies already. I weighed in at 11 st 12 not 10. I am11st 10 in the mornings. Yes it does seem as if they are pushing EE unless it is a subtle way of starting you off by convincing you that you can eat almost anything. I get confused 'cos people were saying they have...

Sorry Chloe, haven't been around much what with trying to sort wedding stuff and the hen night. Bit the bullet and joined class lastMonday weighing in at 11 st 12 lbsin the evening. Consultant wants me totryEE for a week so we'll see how I get on.

I decided that I am faffing around at home and going up and down the same few pounds so On Monday I used the Bella voucher and joined a class. I am officially 11st 10 in the evening. Been told to try EE which I don't usually do. Will see next Monday if it works for me.

Two weetabix and two peaches. They were going soft and needed using up or I would only have had one.

Quorn shepherd's pie topped with mashed swede and green beans and broccoli.

Good morning, I haven't posted much in this thread as I don't seem to lose much. I hover between 11.11 and 11.13 ( after pasta) For the last week I have actually weighed.11.10 and this morning I got on my scales (I weigh every day, Iknow I shouldn't but I can't help it) and I was 11.9. It may...

DYJHIW you send out invitations to your daughters wedding and two weeks after the RSVP date you are still waiting for replies and menu choices and one of those you're waiting for is from the Best Man. Also those who have refused, due to other commitments, left it to the very last day to say that...

Happy birthday.

Is this 1 syn per 100 g or 1 syn per tin as the tin contains 400 g. It is lush though.

Well done. That's great.

Maybe he has a shoe fetish? Lol

I am glad to hear this as I have never managed to find them anywhere. Now I won't feel that I am missing out.

Mashed potato, quorn burgers, corn on the cob and mushy peas. Jelly and yogurt for afters.

It is in theBella today.

Happy birthday Emsie and good luck with the interview.

Welcome. Anything you want to know just ask. Someone on here will have the answer. Good luck.

DYJHIW you defrost the freezer. You write down in a book every single item that is in there so you can cross it out as you use it and then....you can't find the b****y book anywhere.

Roast chicken dinner.I will not eat the skin, I will not eat the skin. Keep repeating to self.

Hi ColJack I put the rice in a big microwave bowl and cover with cold water. Put in into the microwave for approx 10 minutes. Just check the first time that you have enough water and it doesn't get too dry. When the rice is soft and most of the water absorbed it's ready. I sprinkle mine with...

It's the opposite for me. My mum is 83 weighs about 9 st 4 and is as fit as a flea. She last saw a Dr about two years ago and before that it was ten years or more. She's not on any pills or diet regime, does her own gardening etc. Helps in our local charity shop twice a week. I wish I had half...

So sorry for your loss. Nannas are always special.xx

I wouldn't bother with a big batch as it only takes about 10 mins in the microwave. I know that boiled rice shouldn't be kept for long as there is some sort of toxin it produces. Sorry to be vague but I'm no scientist. Maybe someone can explain it better than I can.

Hello, can I join you please? I am following Slimming World at home and am hovering around 11st 12 /13 so only just in this group. I only lose very slowly so I would expect tobe here for a while.

Silly me. Will wait until then and save a tender. Thanks.

I am sure that I read something last week that there would be a voucher in this weeks Bella magazine to join Slimming World for free. Looked through this weeks but can't see it. There is a feature on Rosemary Conley so I don't think it will have both. Anyone know where else I can find a voucher...

Do you use from age frais in that? I have some to use up.

Crunchy bran and blueberries.

I agree with you entirely. I was just answering the question as to why someone who is a strict vegetarian wouldn't eat them. Some veggies think us meat eaters should be shot.lol

I think muller lights contain gelatine so not veggie friendly

Salmon, green beans, broccoli and. HEB of new potatoes.

Well done.haven't filled in my diary for a few days. Must do that later.

I'venever tried counting my suyns weekly so I will be interested to see how you get on.

I always put a few chilli flakes in my sausage pasta. Gives it a bit of a kick if you know what I mean.

Is the recipe on here somewhere?

Weetabix and a peach with skimmed milk.

You sound just like me. Hubby wants to take me away for my big birthday next month and all I can do is worry how much weight I might put on. Mad,aren't I?

Don't you and your Mum look alike!!

Okay Lunch was cold chicken tikka slices from Tesco and a large salad. Had 50g of tesco light choices coleslaw which apparently is 2 syns. This was followed by an activia yogurt. Dinner was chicken casserole which had mushrooms, carrots, onions and tomatoes as well as chicken. With it I had...

Congratulations to your Mum. What did she graduate in/as?

Oooooh you did well last week. If I could lose that I'd be well chuffed.

How much have you lost now? And how do you survive on just a muller light for breakfast? Lol

I just seem to be stuck. Before I went on holiday on 16th June I was down to 11st 10 . After a weeks cruise I was 12st 3. I know it's partly fluid retention and last Monday I was 12 st exactly. This morning I am 11st 13 BUT my hubby wants to take me away for my big birthday in August. It is...

Thank you both for joining me I was feeling a little lonely as Chloe, who comments on here has been away on holidays. I do look at lots of diaries but so many are about EE I don't know enough about that to give an opinion. I also read the What's for breakfast,lunch,and dinner threads but...

Good morning I realise that I am talking to myself but at least writing things down might keep me on track so... Breakfast. Bacon, egg, mushrooms and tomatoes with two ryvita.

Dinner Piri piri chicken, green beans,carrots, cauli and 7oz new potatoes HEB. Had a ryvita earlier to keep me going as we went for a half hour walk. Will probably have a yogurt and fruit later. Counting the pitta earlier as 8 syns so with the ryvita not got many left today.

Bra flakes and a peach with semiskim milk.

Chicken,cauli,carrots and either new or baked potato.

Just made a pizza with a pitta bread and OMG it was lush if I do say so myself. Will be making more of those definately.

Found you again. Perhaps I had better start a new diary as no one posts on mine.:cry::(

Made a pizza with a pitta bread and it was gorgeous. Why have I not done this before?

Bran flakes and a peach with semi skimmed milk.

I know you are trying to lose for the wedding but are you having enough veg and fruit? You are probably rushing around like a headless chicken so you need some food inside you or you'll make yourself ill. Do I sound like your mother? Lol

Okay onto Sunday Breakfast was just now and I had bran flakes HEB and a Peach with semi skimmed milk. Just entered my food intake over the last few days onto my fitness pal. It tells me I am eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day.is this too many? I know SW is not about counting calories...

Saturday meals Bfast Cruchybran HEB and a pear with milk. Lunch. A Food Doctor pitta bread 8 syns with two hard boiled eggs. yogurt and melon Dinner. Stir fry with cashew nuts HEB and veg and noodles. Raspberries and a muller light. Please can someone comment as to how I am doing

Dinner yesterday was tuna HEB and pasta bake which has Campbell's mushroom soup in it so that was approx 7 syns. Bought some Devon scones in Tesco and ate one with a tsp of jam. Found out later they could be as much as 15 syns!!!! the rest are going it he freezer.

Didn't get to Boots as Tesco was manic. Got home and put all the shopping away and had Baked beans and jacket potato for lunch and an apple in work this afternoon.

Welcome back Chloe. Hope you had a good holiday. Bfast. Two weetabix HEB and a pear. Going to Boots today to see if my scales is correct as the seem to be stuck.

I feel like I haven't eaten for a month and I've eaten loads today. Must have worms!!!!

Well done you. Keep up the good work.

Dinner is going to be salmon and HEB of new potatoes with broccoli and carrots and cauliflower. The broccoli was £2.20 for 350 g so it better taste good. Will have pudding of fruit salad later, maybe with yogurt and a crushed meringue for 3.5 syns???

So lunch is going to be mushroom omelette followed by a yogurt and some fruit and a large mug of tea.

If I lived nearer I would swop my vanilla one for your mango.lol

How are the wedding plans coming along? We are starting to get replies to the invitations for my daughters wedding on 8th Sept. not long now.

Good girl. :)

Hi If you don't mind me having my 3 penny worth, here it is. There doesn't seem to be much fruit in your diet and not a lot of veg. I'm no expert but I would say you shouldbe eating more of both. Also have a few more syns to stop you getting bored.

Right. Draw a line under holidays and birthday parties and start from yesterday. Bfast. Two weetabix and a pear 6 syns Lunch. Bbeans, egg and some cooked new potatoes fried in fry light like chips, followed by activia yoghurt. Dinner. Mash,carrots, peas, onions, mushrooms and casserole...

Just popped in to say your food sounds very nice. I presume you are following EE and as I don't know a lot about that I wouldn't like to say if it is ok or not. I do Green and Red so if you feel like commenting onmy diary please do. Good luck.

I have been very good this week after my holiday week away. Today I had my grandaughter's birthday party and a meal out. I left all the party food. Just had a small piece of cake and one Cadbury hero as syns. The meal out was all SW except I asked for no mayo so they put butter on the potatoes...

Jenna. You are doing incredibly well according to your stats. I have been following SW for a year and haven't lost anything like the amount that you have. My problem is that I lose a pound or three and then go on holiday and put on five. I sound as if I'm ungrateful for the hols. I'm not as I...

I am a serial weigher even though I know I shouldn't weigh every day. To wean yourself off weighing too often why not try only weighing one day a week at home say Fridays if your official weighin is Monday.

Confession time ladies. Went away on a weeks holiday and didn't manage to keep to plan. Back at home since Mon and back on plansince Tuesday morning. Will fill in diary later.

Oooh are you having a new kitchen? I think we need one as ours is over 20 years old and my big oven can't be repaired so I've only got a little oven at the moment. The snag is that my cooker is 900mm wide and I can't find one that is all gas to replace it. Can't buy electric as we don't have a...

Bought scan bran at Holland and Barratt and it is buy one get the second half price.

Thursday meals Crunchy bran, yogurt and mango.HEB Lunch scrambled egg, two ryvita and mushrooms and a yogurt with fruit salad Dinner Baked potato HEB bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes Can you tell I am using up what's in the fridge/ freezer? Think I might have a penguin cake bar in a bit.

Your diary looks good to me and well done for the exercise. I hate exercise.

Finished off Wednesday with three ginger biscuits and chocolate philli with a cup of tea. The philli is almost gone but Inoticed this morning the tub was out of date.Doh! In the bin it must go.

Hope the OHresults were good.

So today we have Breakfast. Two weetabix spand a peach.HEB Lunch leek and potato soup and a small baked potato with beans In work I had a yogurt and some fruit. Dinner was late so it's Mushy pea curry and rice. Stuffed now.

And so to Tuesday. Breakfast was lean bacon,egg, mushrooms and tomato. Lunch was some smoked mackerel syns and salad followed by yogurt and fruit. Dinner was pork chop, green beans, carrots and HEB of new potatoes. Idry fried some opinion,mushrooms and tomato to make a sauce rather than have...

It's all looking good. What size milky bar do you get for 3 1/2 syns? I love milky bar.

Monday's meals Breakfast Cruchy bran with banana and muller light .HEB Lunch. Leftover couscous,baked potato and large salad, followed by some grapes and an orange. Dinner 113g pork HEB new potatoes, peas and carrots with 2 tbs gravy made with twice as much water to make it go further...

Well done. Keep up the good work.

Is this a green day with the mackerel as a HE? I don't do EE so I can't advise on that. It diesn't seem a lot of food compared to what I eat. Good luck on your journey.

Congratulations for your forthcoming wedding. My daughter is getting married in September so I would like to lose a few pounds before then. I don't understand EE but your diary looks ok so far. good luck.

Sounds good will have to try both those suggestions. Just need to know how to stop eating the whole tub. Will buy the small pots next time.

You'rediarylooks fine but I'm worried now because I eat a lot more than you do. I am always picking at fruit to stop myself getting hungry and being tempted to grab a biscuit.

I have just used 20g on three ginger finger biscuits. The biscuits total 108 calories so 5and a half syns and about three or four for thr Philly so not too bad. Tasted yummy.

Just had this on two ginger finger biscuits. Really nice. Yum yum.

So dinner ended up as couscous and salad followed by two kiwi fruit, some blueberries, grapes and a muller light yogurt. I have a tub of chocolate philli to use up. Any suggestions?

So on to Sunday Up early for church as it was reading of the banns for my dsughter's wedding. Breakfast was weetabix HEB and a banana Lunch baked potato, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and mince made into bolognaise HEB Not sure yet what to have for tea but it may be couscous and salad

Sat meals Breakfast. Crunchy bran,muller yogurt and a banana. HEB lunch. Pasta and sauce with extra mushrooms. An orange dinner. Fish pie ( the one made with fromage frais) HEB. Some grapes during the day. Milk in tea HEA Two glasses of 'fake' pimms with the SWrecipe Spoilt my day with a...

Fridays meals Bfast Two weetabix and a peach. HEB Lunch. baked potato and baked beans and a Lidl yogurt (2syns) Dinner. Two quorn sausages (2 syns) with pasta and tomato and onion sauce. Snacks. 1 apple, some grapes and a Penguin cake bar (5syns) Supper Three crispbread with a scraping of jam...

I always 'wet' my porridge with water and just use a splash of milk for flavour. Saves the milk for lots of mugs of tea.

That's great and it is over a pound a week and you don't have a large amount to lose even if it seems that you do! I think that is why we are both slow losers. I know my biggest problem is I don't exercise but I don't have lots of free time and I hate it anyway.

Good luck with weighin.

So Thursday ended as Bfast. Bacon,egg,mushrooms and tomato Lunch. Chicken salad of cucumber,lettuce,tomato,peppers followed by a yogurt from Lidl (2 syns) Afternoon snack of a banana Dinner. Liver,bacon,onions, new potatoes HEB,swede,carrots and broccoli. 2 spoons gravy (2syns?) Evening...

All looks good to me. Keep up the good work.

Keep going it all looks good to me.

Hi smint I'm going to have one HEB as new potatoes with my liver and bacon and probably two alpen bars or crisp breads later when I get peckish.

I don't work until the afternoons most days so I have time in the mornings. It's dinner that will be thrown together as I work till 6 tonight. Just having a small bowl of butternut squash soup and a small plate of chicken salad. Will take a yogurt and an apple or banana to work with me.

Found your diary! You seem to like the same foods as I do so I will be copying some meals from you. I know this will sound stupid but how do I subscribe to your thread? I've done it with other threads but not for a while. Senior moment here!

Thanks Chloe. I really need to stop messing about so.... Weight this morning 11st 13. This is after all the Jubillee cake etc which is now gone. Breakfast was 2 slices of bacon, mushrooms, tomato and egg. Going to do a Red day. My HEA is always milk in tea. Will plan on chicken salad...

I have realised that despite 'following' Slimming World since January 2011 I am more or less the same weight that I was a year ago. This is because I loose a pound or two and then I go on holiday, which is good, and put a pound or two back on. I am going wrong somewhere so I am going to try and...

They are very nice but are they worth four syns? Not sure.

I went to a 60s fancy dress birthday party last night. My husband was adamant he would not dress up so.....I bought a blonde wig from eBay shops for under a tenner including postage. I wore my most sparkley dress and he wore his dinner suit. We went as MarilynMonroe and Mr President. Get a dress...

I made this last week for someone who really likes pimms and she coudn't tell that it wasn't the real stuff! I didn't put ice cubes in the jug and it kept fizzy for a day or so. I didn't use mint either but I did put in some cucumber slices. I used two tablespoons balsamic vinegar to a liter...

Think I will do that as Ihad a cheap tin of Aldi own brand ravioli last week and that was full to the brim.

Tin andcontentsweighmore than the weight on the tin but it's all liquid and nothing to eat.

I have just opened a tin of this and Iam feeling a little hard done by. The contents of the tin felt very liquid when I took it out of the cupboard. Having opened it There are exactly 10 little ravioli parcels in a very watery sauce. Surely there should be more ravioli than that?

It's in Haverfordwest tomorrow and that's about nine miles from me.

I always use diet lemonade or diet cloudy lemonade. Stops the fruit going brown but I don't know how it works!!!

I watched part of it and recorded the rest to watch at the weekend. I have ti say I went to bed feeling extremely skinny.lol

I used to leave the kids bedroom doors open knowing they would shut them when they got inane went to bed. If I woke in the night I only had to see if the door was open or closed. If closed I could relax and go back to sleep.

Have you weighed this week yet? Your diary looks ok to me but It doesn't seem a lot of food. I couldn't manage on just a yogurt for breakfast. I wrote all my food last week in a paper diary. I just need timeout it on here for people to comment, hopefully.

Thank you for that. There are no crumbsonthese so I shouldn't think they would be any higher in syns. I'll allow 5 to be on the safe side.

Can someone please tellme the syn value for these, especially the chicken breasts with garlic mushrooms andcaramelised shallots? TYA

I find it easier to have two full size then there's no weighing. I weigh oatibix minis and shredded wheat minis and find it a bit of a faff around. I also sometimes have one plain and one chocolate weetabix as HEB and 1 syn.

Congratulations on your wedding. My daughter is getting married on 8/9 so I am trying to loose some weight so I won't be a fat mother of the bride. Just one question why is your lunch of weetabix a HeB and 5 syns?

Your GPshouldbe struck off in my opinion. That is total neglect. I' m sorry about your dad.Thinking of you.x

She is staying about 25 miles away from my place. We haven't had the best of weather this week so I don't envy her camping out. Yesterday and today were/ are looking better, sunny but still windy. I'm on the coast but Shirleen is inland so she may not have had the sea 'breeze'. Hope it doesn't...

30g shredded wheat minis and a pear with two mugs of tea.

The skin off the turkey. I couldn't resist it!!

It's the opposite for me. I can't get my mum to come to our house unless it's for a special meal. She always expects me to visit her and sit there like a lemon just chatting. If she came tome I could still chat but be ironing or cooking to catchup. Sometimes I think she forgets that me and my...

How about one of those microfiber cloths? I use one that I just wet with warm water on mine. It's flat screen but not plasma in case that makes a difference.

I think we all want to be a size 10 but in my case that would only be in my dreams lol. I once lost a lot of weight and was only 8st 4. You could feel my bones and I looked ill.That was a longtime ago.

Hi, If I,m reading this correctly you are 5ft 5 and 9st 9. Do you really need to lose weight? I am 5ft 6 and if I could be 10st 9 I,d be delighted. Not meaning to be critical but maybe your body is telling you that your weight is absolutely fine as you are. What sizeclothesdoyou wear?

I hope that was for your weight loss.

We took oxygen abroad for my Dad approx 2 years ago. We were going on a cruise which left from Shampton and then went around the Med finishing in Rome. We flew home from Rome to Gatwick. We were supplied with oxygen by Bill Quantrill who runs a company called Omega Oxygen. He brought a case with...

Go on to google and find a florist local to your friend and order from them. Much cheaper than inter flora.

Years ago when I actually went to a class the SW consultant told us that when we made fruit salad we should chop the fruit and then cover it with diet lemonade and it would keep for the best part of a week in the fridge. Usually works for me.

Branson beans and quorn cottage pies £1 in Asda. Beans also £1 for 4 in Lidl but only for the weekend.

So will you've calling for a cuppa? It's only about 22 miles from me.

Remind me where you are staying again.

Thanks. My one is just peach. Probably the same?

Does anyone know how many sins in a pot of Brooklea peach yogurt from Aldi please? I might be thick but I can't find this anywhere.

You could try and make half the recipe and eat it two days in a row. Looking at the ingredients it should freeze ok.

Hi bb65 I've been away so haven't had chance to look. I have a few that I can't read the labels. do you want them and take a chance? if so please pm me your address.

Shirleen, You look so much slimmer in your new photo. Have you updated your stats lately?

Can dreamings and HazyBlue pm me their contact details and I'll sort out the bras some time this week. May be the weekend before I can do anything as I have a wedding to attend on Thursday.

Anyone want any bras in 34, 36 and 38 in F,G and GG cups. Probably have some in each combination of those sizes!!

I've just been having a clearout of Slimming World magazines from 2005 to 2008 if anyone wants them.

Hope the passport arrives in time. A friend applied recently and they told her it would be about 3 weeks so yours is held up somewhere. As to holidays, hubby and I discovered cruise holidays 8 years ago and hardly take another holiday now. We reluctantly booked the first one and had a ball so...

Well mine is fairly obvious. I try to be a supergran to my 3 grandchildren. I could say 52 is my age but I'd be fibbing. It's the year I was born.

I have just eaten one half of a kitkat chunky. Have never managed to leave any before now so I'm pleased with my willpower.

I do a mixture of red and green, mostly green. I cannot understand EE as although I love veg I would still fill my plate and eat until it was empty not until I was full, if you understand what I mean.
