I just started 3 days ago. Where other people get bloated, I just "toot". Since starting SW 3 days ago, there has been more "tooting" than usual. I think that's to be expected when you suddenly eat more veggies, but I sure hope the frequency slows. Also, the pipes are being cleared more...

So I've been doing SW for 3 days now and, despite my rough start (I've been so busy and I haven't been able to track what I'm eating much less make sure I get all the food that I need to eat in), I'm surprised that I've already lost 3lbs. Honestly, I didn't realize how little ate before...

Thanks Circes! Yes, it is that book. Can you suggest a SW book (that I can get online) that does have the details of the SW plans?

This ice cream definitely is not in the database. There's only one location where I can buy it and it's 6 hours away from LA. Believe me, I can stop because I know that if I eat the whole lot I'll have to get some more which means I'll a), have to drive for 12 hours roundtrip to buy it or b)...

So it's my first day of SW. I feel like I'm eating more than I've ever eaten before (granted almost everything's a veggie), but I have one weakness....ice cream. I love it and I have a half-gallon of my favorite in the fridge (mmmm, apple pie from a micro-creamery in norcal...it's baaaad for...

Paula, you are totally a bombshell! You don't even look like the same person. Congrats, girl!

Thanks so much, Circes, for pointing out the syn values and which plan the recipes would be most appropriate for. I'm mainly concerned with the Red and Green plans because I've bought the book, Slimming World Food Optimising and it only outlines the Red and Green days, not the Extra Easy...

Gemm, we don't have Oxo Cubes here either. Is it similar to Knorr Chicken Bouillon? Sally, it is an older recipe. Good to know any chicken stock will do. Thanks for your help!

Hi All! I'm making my first official SW dish with chicken stock and it calls for chicken stock with Bovril. Bovril's not available locally. What's so special about it? Is it low-sodium? Low-fat? What should I look for in a chicken stock that will make it comparable to Bovril? Thanks!

My motivation is that I'm really uncomfortable after a weight gain trip to Chicago. Before I left for Chicago, I needed to loose 7 lbs. to get back to my normal 125 lbs. I thought it would be a piece of cake. What's commonplace in Los Angeles; walking a good distance to the car, going on a...

I'm starting SW on March 1st, but I've been cutting down on my sugar intake for the past few months. The first day with absolutely no sugar was HELL...it's not a good idea to quit cold turkey. Needless to say, I decided to do start over and reduce it little by little. I think my palette has...

I'm mainly concerned that I may make a dish that counts as neither a green or a red meal, but is a combo of both. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that it's a matter of checking which ingredients are free, which are syns and which are healthy extras. As examples, here are a few of my...

So I have a few recipes that I'm not willing to give up because they're good and I think they're pretty darn healthy. I'd like to know how I can qualify them for a green or a red day or how I can change them up a little bit to qualify. Are there some guidelines that I need to follow in order...

It's sounds like something from Star Trek. We don't have it here in the US, at least not under that name. I just saw a SW cheese cake recipe that uses it. Are there any alternatives? Thanks!

Hey All! I'm a newbie and totally excited about Slimming World and this challenge. Count me in! I'm just going to list the people who actually posted on this thread, k? 10st10lbs - Xlbs to lose Susienoz - 5lbs to lose Kirstabubble - 4.5lbs to lose Belfastbabybear - 7lbs to lose...

Hi All! I just joined. Yay! This is my first post! Whoo hoo! About a month ago on a cross country train trip, I met a Brit couple who had nothing but amazing things to say about Slimming World. We don't have meetings here, but I bought the the book,Slimming World Food Optimising, on...
