Down 2.5 lbs this week.

Classic Chicken Curry from the curry book. Absolutely cracking it was.

Baked Cannelloni.

Spanish tortilla from the world of flavours book. Had this one last week. What a cracker.

Good luck with the running btw. I've seen C25k splashed around on a few posts round here but I've only just been bothered to put it into google. Let me know how you get on, I might try it myself.

Recorded a walk for the first time today. It's a really cool little app with nice integration with the website. It's just a shame the snow and sleet slowed me down. Still I felt I had to go out just so I could say I did it come rain or shine. There were a lot of mountain bikers out today, more...

I've managed to import all my old walks into imapmywalk. It's got a whole load more options than cardiotrainer so I might have to switch. I'll do my first walk tomorrow using their app but at least now I have all the walks since I started 2 weeks ago so it doesn't seem like I'm doing it from...

Mixed bean casserolette.

I did the 2nd day today. Everything seems to ache, but as they used to say: If it hurts, it's working! It's just a reminder to me that I have done some exercise, so I'm quite proud gingerly walking up and down the stairs.

Still not tried it yet I'm afraid. I've got it installed but I leave the house when I'm bleary eyed so forget to switch it on. I'll be on a walk again tomorrow so I'll have it on then.

I wasn't expecting it. My trousers are still nice and snug. Only started 2 weeks ago so I'm not into the stubborn fat yet :)

Shaved 8.5lbs off this week. Got my 1/2 stone, stone and slimmer of the week stickers!

That 8.5 miles is fantastic. You must have really cracked on with that!

Grand ta. Ended up going a bit off the beaten track but got the miles in. Might try a new route tomorrow though. How are you doing?

Just done my first Level 1. It's definatly knackering. I'm ok with most of it, but the push ups really do conk me out. It'll be nice to get the the end of that bit without feeling like dropping my face into the floor. I did quite enjoy it, but I think i'll enjoy the shower more.

It's been my night off cooking today so we had cumberland quorn sausages, swede, sweet tatie mash and cabbage. It worked for me. Yesterday it was SW quiche and stuffed portobello mushroom with a few SW chips.

Thanks for that it's really helpful. I always thought it was a must eat thing so to speak, like super free foods. I'll keep them there if I need them but won't have them just for the sake of it.

Well I've always heard a glass of red wine a day is good for you. If I make that a glass of port instead that'd be 4 syns and some left over for a beer at the weekend :)

I'm from sunny Halifax, although it's not very sunny at the moment.

Hi all I started SW a couple of weeks back and I've become pretty good with the plan. I've had 100% days since I started. I only do green and red days and cook a tea every night. I'm just having problems using syns. I've never really been a chocolate or sweet type, and I don't really like the...

My favourite classic and novel of all time is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I've only read it once, about two years ago, but I'm not the type to reread books. I've been meaning to read The Three Musketeers ever since mind you. I got an E-Reader since and have read a few classics...

I know it's amazing what you see when you just walk for 5 minutes outside the door. We usually think of it being urban and industrial round here but you never really are more than 10 minutes from a bit of greenery. I just can't wait until it's spring so it's a bit warmer though. Half your face...

I use cardiotrainer which seems to be a similar app but on the android. I'll have to install imapmyrun, but it says there's a walking option in it. It all gets logged to the same website anyway. It's helpful to motivate me. On the cardiotrainer website it shows you how far you have walked from...

I'm gonna start with this today. I haven't got any weights yet but I'm just going to crack on with it in the 5 to 7 days it takes for them to be delivered (come on DHL).

Brilliant. I was looking for something like that the other day for hours. Just trying out a few new routes on it now.

Hello there everyone! I'm quite new to this website, only starting SW a couple of weeks ago, but I stumbled on here straight away. Been reading the posts on here everyday but thought it was time to get involved! Bye bye for now Bob

I've been using cardio trainer on my phone to record my walking. It's quite good fun when you can log onto their website and see a map of how far you've gone. I'm trying to extend my range circle to the extremities of Great Britain! I'm doing between 5 and 6 miles a day, taking about 1hr10m to...
