i only know that splenda is meant to be like-for-like. that said, i find sweeteners to be too artificial-tasting to swap fully. i prefer to use honey, applesauce, mashed banana, etc in addition to a smaller amount of sweetener.

today i made a batch of broccoli sauce - sauté garlic and a teeny bit of olive oil (or fry light if you're hardcore ;) ) until the garlic begins to brown add about 10 chunks of frozen broccoli and cover in stock. i usually use an oxo cube and about one medium size pyrex cup of boiling water...

just have to say i can't believe there's a dunkin' donuts in berlin and none in the UK!! (i'm sure that's for the best, for weightloss purposes....) ;) they're HUUUGE where i'm from in the states. not the people! the chain! ;) kind of funny ... i've been reading this forum a ton this week...

that's really a shame. it's the target members we should be hearing from most! i think SW should do a regular "target members spotlight", where (if you are happy to) you could stand up and share with the group about your journey and how you are doing now. i really think one of the big flaws...

i always feel self-conscious eating in public, especially in small quarters like that. i would probably buy a packet of chargrilled chicken strips and try to just take out a piece at a time and eat it. i would stay away from anything very smelly! chicken is good. :)

i live in NE london and have been searching for them for ages. i looked in every single shop last year and nobody had them. but now they do! the boxes say "new" on them (maybe just new in this area?!) i'm thrilled! they are DELICIOUS. i was really sick of alpen lights and haven't eaten...

my new lady announced weight gains last week too! i forgot that - it was the first time i'd ever seen that. i felt really bad for the people .. she gave the amount and everything! that can't be right. chiefbridesmaid, i think you really should talk to somebody about your situation ... the...

i mostly like it except when the group is large because then it gets really long and kind of boring (sorry). i don't know how weight watchers works here, but i miss the "teaching" element that they did at WW at least in the states. each week was some kind of topic. SW focuses on image therapy...

i started again in january and with a new group. it seemed like a pretty good one and the consultant was great ... she'd lost a lot of weight on sw herself and i think had been leading this group for about 18 months. my old group had a new leader and was struggling to get its act together with...

would be great to hear from more people about their post-speed soup weight loss. i'm not a soup fan but if it DOES work, i might try this anyway ... (if it doesn't work, then forget it!) ;)

unfortunately in my meetings (which have had an array of consultants) they do push them. i think it's because there are only so many easy "go-to" items. when someone asks for ideas, it tends to be muller lights, alpen lights, mug shots...repeat. i'm american and am a weight watchers veteran...

edit: duplicate below.

i'd never looked at the green plan info until reading the above posts - nuts and seeds are there! i wish they were included in EE. why not??

i do. i understand they want to make the plan simple and have "on the go" options, but it does seem to really be a big gap in the plan, that they don't encourage eating healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, avocados, etc. but they DO plug mug-shots etc all the time!

FINALLY!! to me this is the "unspoken topic" of slimming world. i have read loads of posts on this forum and have been part of two different sw meetings. no one seems to talk about why/how it's OK that they allow so much "junk"! i'm not an expert on the consultants, but none of them that i...
