If you are able to log onto the site you can access the online food diary. In that you can see all free food by group: vegies, fruit, dairy, meat, dressings etc. I use the online food diary all the time because of that plus it seems to give a huge list of HEB options that i never knew about...

Real Spanx you do not have to take off when you need the loo! - well for a number 1 anyway! They have a "desgin feature" which means you just sit down an go! Strange and wierd to get used to! I love my Spanx! THough only the real ones. I have had a lot of immitations and nothing quite...

As far as I'm aware they can not be eaten as a healthy extra. Healthy extras a high in fibre - corn flakes are not. If you want to syn them I search by keyword on the syns online thing for "corn flakes" and see: Kellogg's Corn Flakes, 28g 5½

I think SW is a lot about the psycology of dieting and weight loss...not just the food. Many other "diets" deprive us of sugar/carbs/meat etc. Many people "fail" on these diets because eventually they will just have all that banned food. Mentally they torture themselves about it, berate...

Even just a little bit fo exercise. I've been doing two steps forward, one step back... loosing two, gaining one for weeks now. Last week I walked the 15 minutes to the train station instead of taking the bus, and the same on the way home... i lost 5lb that week! I can only think to...

I think maybe they could add one more rule into how you can be eligible for SOTW... I believe as it stands currently you: Can't have been new the previous week; Must have lost or maintained the previous week Perhaps they could add in another one: You can't have won it the previous week. That...

L'Occitane is the way to go. I used to just use whatever was cheapest from Boots. Then I got a free small tube of the L'Occitane stuff with a magazine. It was great. The little tube i got lasted for so long...so I figured it was worth it. I also love the feel of it. Don't buy anything...

Thanks everyone. I sent the email. Eek! A few hours later I got a call from HR wanting me to explain a bit more. I was in a right state on the phone to her. She also asked if I got upset when in with the doctor. uuuuh yeah... I was in tears within about 2 minutes of sitting down in her...

I can't wait to drop a dress size. Lost 1st 1.5lb so far and my size 16s are still fitting me. Some things feel more comfortable, but not loose enough for me to have the confidence to try on a 14! I can't wait to get into a 14 for the first time since I was about 15!!

Now... I have only lost 1st 1.5lb. Still got a ways to go. I'm still wearing the same size (though things are a bit more comfortable). I don't think my weight loss is noticable yet. However...just seen a colleague of mine who I see maybe every month or so... he literally looked me up and...

Lordy.. that is some inventory! ...someone on my team has just arrived in with 24 Krispy Kreme donuts. Thats my queue to go to Tesco and buy some fruit and yoghurt! Otherwise i will cave... I am salivating over the thought of a Dreamcake! hhmmmmm..no...no... fruit. Must. Eat. Fruit.

Thanks everyone for all your responses. I am still a bit shaken. Though I made a good lunch decision and had my usual baked potatoe with beans! lol I was thinking of sending this email to the HR person who referred me in the first place: Dear <HR Person> I had my appointment with Dr...

I posted this in my blog... but don't think people read blogs. I need some encouraging words to make me stick to SW today! I am having a sh!t day.:cry: On days like this I would just eat loads and loads of bad food. I don't want to. so Not I feel like a psycho because I'm literally...

Thick sliced Hovis Granary bread. I hate the tiny wee slices of crappy wholemeal I'm allowed as a healthy extra... feels like I'm not having anything! I miss thick sliced granary!

Syn Free Sausages! Wasn't sure this should go under the "syn values" thread... cos they are no syns!! I heard Joe's Sausages mentioned in group last night.... I have stayed away from sausages since starting SW cos I'd rather use my syns on chocolate and alcohol! But yay! Free sausages...

It would've taken all my willpower not to slap that b!*$%! lol How rude! It's interesting to see what form jealousy takes in different people.

I have found that people like that are jealous and very insecure themselves. She's probably controlling because she's afraid of not being in control which is her only way of trying to prove to herself she is better than everyone else. I hate people like that...but I have learnt to pity them...

My advice is to read the book! I read and re-read it many times in my first few weeks. If you're still not understanding you should definitely call your consultant for further explanation - I'm sure she'd be more than happy to help. Also...there are so many stickies on this forum for...

I made a big pot of stew last night...so that'll be feeding me all week! And as far as I'm aware it's free on EE - awesome!

Favourite colour: Purple Favourite country: Ireland (My homeland) Favourite book: Love Marian Keys (I think my fave would be Angels or Anybody Out There) Favourite film: I have so many favourite - I'll go for Bad Santa! Favourite animal: Not really any animal person...but I do want a monkey...

What is SAS?

LOL See that's what I think re: the amount. I'd literally have a dash of it in 4 or five vodkas! i think I'll just count it as nothing until I hear otherwise! Thanks!

I don't think anyone has ever claimed that BMI is a stict rule. It is there as a guide. When you remove the very athletic and very slim people from the equation, it's a fairly good guide. I would put money on none of us ("us" being people who know we are fat and need to lose weight) being...

Hey Everyone. I've got a few nights out this week and I'm trying to plan ahead so i don't go overboard (I usually go mad with the aul syns when alcohol is involved). I want to stay away from getting bottles of win cos I've learnt that after one I just want another...and another...and...

Sweet jesus! Why would they even do that? That's so weird!! At least you spotted it... if you have access to a microwave..why not bake a potatoe the night before...then heat it up the next day with a tin of beans. :)

I think resisting temptation is a great NSV! My mind isn't quite strong enpugh to resist every time yet (though i do have my moments). I was at a friends for dinner the other week and he'd made a massive carrott cake...he know's I'm on slimming world but was insisting I take a chunk of ot...

This is Awesome! I've had a few friends comment that I look like I've lost some weight (woo hoo!) but then they ask what diet I'm doing... for my own psycological well being I hate saying that I'm doing slimming world or "I'm on a new diet"... what do you guys respond? Or do you just say...

I tend to stick to the same lunch during the week... massive baked potatoe, lashings of baked beans and lots of lettuce, tomato and cucumber. This fills me up, I get my potatoe fix (I could live on them alone!) and I know it's all free! and I've got my curly curly in my bag ready for...

Or you could contact the Slimming World Website and ask them if there's anyway other way you could get one?

I was prompted to join SW a few weeks before I was due to fly home to try on my bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding. I joined for me (not for her wedding) I'm sick of spending so much time hating myself. I have been a size 16 since I was about 15/16 years old (I'm very nearly 28...

Oh sweet jesus! I want one of these dresses! I have another 2 weddings this year (was already bridesmaid at one in January) and I'd love a fifties style dress! never heard of this designer...she should give you commission..cos If I get even close to my goal weight in the next 6 months I...

1/2lb off is still a loss! It's not a gain, and you didn't stay the same - you still lost! Though I know how it's disheartening. I had several weeks that went like this: -2 +1 -2 -0.5 0 (STS) -0.5 -3.5 +2 -2 It's so ANNOYING.. but because I've now tracked this for several week...

When i had a run of bad weeks early on when I joined SW I used to blame it on "the booze", "the mexican", "the chinese takeaway".... This girl helpfully pointed out that there are at least 21 meals in a week. So one "bad" one isn't going to destroy an otherwise on-track week. Just put it...

I think if i wasn't using my syns for sweet things like cakes and chocolate I would definitely be having some oil in my food...fried chips...fried eggs...lots of salad dresing etc... thats all syns.

My major love of SW comes from the recommendation of daily syns! Every other diet I've tried I have failed because after even just a few days without crisps or chocolate I would be craving them so bad I would go on a massive binge! (then feel like the diet could never work so never going...

I've had a lot of ups and downs on my SW journey. Having joined at the beginning of noevember last year I have had equal amounts of losing weeks as I've had gains/STS. But today I had a NSV... I tied my shoe laces! They came undone and without thinking I bent down and tied them. It was...

Ah great! yeah, they did ask me when i paid for the 12 weeker if I had any holidays. I didn't and I dont. The reason I can't make next wednesday is because a colleague of mine if leaving work and he's having his leaving drinks on wednesday! Usually I tell all my friends that from now on...

I usually go to my group on Wednesday evenings near where I live. However, I have plans for next Wednesday. I have paid for a 12 week countdown..and don't want to use a weeks holiday. Can I go to a different group (maybe on the Tuesday, near my work)? Will they recognise off my card that...

Hi Everyone, I hope you're all well. I went to my first SW group on 3rd November 2010. I have lost and gained and lost and maintained and gained and lost. You get the picture! Anyhoo... I decided to make myself a wee diary on here to hopefully hold myself more accountable on a daily basis. I...
