Made this today with - red lentils, red onion and a red and yellow pepper I needed to use, didn't have any mushrooms in. Sooooo tasty, will be doing it again for sure :D

Waiting for my mushroom omelette, I'm starving!!!!!

Not just, but earlier, the green masala!! I love curries and spice, was a bit dubious about this recipe but it was bloody lovely!! One recipe that will have a re-visit time and time again I think!!!

Thanks guys. As BikerAngel said I'm pretty limited on what I can get here. It is a good idea Ermintrude about the book, will have to get it sent to the uk then someone could send it to me here!! Most foods I can get but a lot of low fat stuff I can't, although I have just found low fat cheese...

Thank you Starlight, I couldn't find a thing!! It explains it all now, I can now sit and work out my menu :)

I am sure it has been asked many times but I can't find anything. I live abroad so there are no meetings I can go to and my husband would not be happy me paying money to join online. All I need to know is with the extra easy plan, can I mix both red and green on the same day? I am getting...

I live in Dubai if you can call that exotic!!!

Just had the SW KFC for the first time ummmmmmm lovely :D

I will have to look up the syns as I just have not counted them at all lol

Im not really a short drinker but I do my wine, think I will try the vodka and diet coke though and have a wine now and again!! I think that is the only thing I can do really. It is nice to know I'm not alone, thank you everyone :)

Hi margot, Not been very good but am going to start again this week!! Are there meetings in dubai? How are you doing on it?

I know exactly how that is!! I soo want to lose weight but I don't want my life to change, at my age as well keep being told it is harder!!! I tried the Paul McKenner once but could get on with it because I have someone else to think of, otherwise it would have been great cos you can drink as...

Hi, I have been trying to do the slimming world diet but I am still drinking alcohol and I really am finding it hard to give it up. I don't have a drink problem might I add, I do give it up now and again cos I get fed up with it but it is a part of my life. I don't drink tea, don't drink many...

SW Greek style lamb casserole,made it with haddock for hubby cos he doesn't eat meat and he enjoyed his as much as I did mine, lovely :D

I did it 5 days a week, didn't bother at weekends and I certainly seen results, after two weeks I had lost 1 1/2 inches from my waist, 1 inch from my bust and 1/2 inch from my hips!!! Hurt my knee (not doing this) so haven't been able to do it for a couple of weeks but will be glad to get back...

Haven't had time to start sewing yet but all I have bought is cheap material so I can practice. The size doesn't matter as I'm not happy making something for the size I am so it will just be put aside anyway, waiting for me to shrink myself lol

Thanks :D Wednesday didn't happen but tomorrow is the planned day now and Sunday back to exercise. Needed the comfort food and feel better for it :)

Hi I have had a really upsetting two weeks and have gone off the rails, thankfully though I actually haven't put weight on so that is something!! Will start again Wednesday!! How have you been???

Hi aislingb I have lost 4lb total :)

Hi mumlisa, I have lost 4lb total :D

Thanks Roger i appreciate the offer :D

Didn't lose anything this week, have had an awful week so turned to my fav food a couple of times, a takeaway curry!!! Feeling better now though so will get back on track and work hard. Good thing is I haven't gained :)

Hi Jenny, I live in Dubai and you can get all the cereal bars and ryvita's here. Have no idea about local brands though. You can get most things here that you can at home so you shouldn't have a problem.

I have been naughty and just had a slice of cheese on toast (small) with home grown jalapeño and bloody well enjoyed it :D

Thanks Clara Lou :) that sounds delicious, can't wait to try it :D

Hi, I'm doing SW but by myself as I had the stuff from years ago. There are no classes where I live so don't have a choice. I gave up smoking around 8 years ago and have been battling with my weight since so understand what that is like. Good luck :D

That is great Claire, well done :D

Well done :D you should be proud of yourself to be able to wear something for the first time in 3 years!! I'm so looking forward to doing that!! what I have found is not to fixate on weight but go on how I feel. I have not lost weight but gone down a size!! I'm very happy about that:) good luck :D

I looked for that recipe and couldn't find it, love risotto so Clara Lou please do share :D

I have clothes from 10 to 16 and am looking forward to working my way down through the sizes :) Good luck with your shopping :D

Hi big-girl, I have just started sewing, not that good at it so have just bought some cheap material to practice on. I would love to design my own clothes eventually so my daughter bought me a book for my birthday that shows you how to make your own patterns, haven't tried it yet as getting my...

Good morning everyone :) I have lost 2lb and decided to measure myself!!! I have lost 1 1/2 inches from my waist, 1/2inch from my bust and 1 inch from my hips!!! I am over the moon :D

Morning everyone :) I am extremely pleased to announce I have lost 2lb woohoo :D I agree with Clara Lou, the support you get on this site is great, it makes me believe that I can do it, I will do it :D

I love Oman, went to muscat and up in the mountains was spectacular. Everyone who visits we take to Musandam for the day, just love it :D

I couldn't kill something myself to eat. I can't eat anything that is put in front of me that looks like it did when it was alive *shudders* I would be a veggie all the way :D

Hi :) I'm from Coventry but live in Dubai

Well done :D I am dreading weighing myself tomorrow, have been really naughty this week and got a bit of a day ahead of me as well!! Ooops!!

Didn't do it twice, didn't have the time. Although I have thought about trying to fit two into my day. I used to spend a couple of hours in the gym a few years ago so thought, if I can fit more exercise in then do so, it is all good as long as I don't over do it!!!

I missed todays, which would have been day 7, does anyone think I should do it twice tomorrow to make up for it?? Has anyone done that? I am so trying to get into the habit so it won't be so hard!!

Hi, lost 1lb this week which is fine, most important thing I am feeling the difference with the exercising so will hopefully see the results next week when I measure myself :)

I lost 2lb this week which surprised me!! I have though taken all of my measurements now and doing the 30 day shred so I think I will leave it 2 weeks to see if there is any difference. Fingers crossed XX

Thanks Clara Lou :) i know it is only 2lbs but it has made me pretty determined to shift this weight for once and for all!!! (fingers crossed anyway lol)

Morning everyone, this has been my first week and to be honest I thought with the lack of exercise and the week I have had, camping etc.. I would put on weight but very happy to say I lost 2lbs :) it has given me a real boost :D

Do make sure you do a good warm up before you start, I found it a lot better today doing stretches etc.... before starting, I lasted longer than I did without doing them.

Had an awful stressful day yesterday but did my rant somewhere else lol I'm going out tomorrow night and brunch at a friends Wednesday, can't control that!! Going camping for the weekend as well so going to try and take nothing but healthy!!

I started my diet yesterday, had such an awful day. I had my electricity disconnected by mistake, they kept telling me I owed a load of money, told the woman where I lived but she told me I didn't live there because the account number was for somewhere else!!!! 12.30 they disconnected me, my...

I found that the warm up on the DVD wasn't enough, my legs were killing me even during the exercise, they felt like they were going to seize up!!!

I am going to start today (again!!!) although I can't di it at weekends I think 5 days is better than none!! Might mix it with a bit of Zumba as well and see how it goes.

Hi Holidaygirl Well with what you have said, sounds like you have lost fat and gained muscle, which is great, well done, the main thing is you are decreasing in size which is what we all want. You should give yourself a pat on the back :D I didn't think to measure myself all over, but I'm...

Well done Clara Lou :) it gives you such a boost when you can see the results from all your hard work :) I don't start my diet until tomorrow but am going camping next weekend so won't be able to do my weigh in until the Sunday!!

Well it is supposed to be good for the heart as well lol

I will check them out, thanks :)

Cool :) thanks :D

Great :) what is the weigh in day?

Wow well done Shazzabir :D I have the 30 day shred and did start it a couple of times but life keeps getting in the way!! Can't do it at weekend either so I might just do it the 5 days and see how it goes. Good luck everyone :)

Hi, I was 51 in jan and on the mentalpause lol have never found it anywhere near this hard to lose weight before :( I have put on 2 st and have decided enough is enough so starting on sw Sunday when I can figure out a menu!!!! Good to know I'm not alone :D

Hi, I wouldn't mind giving it a go :) I would like to lose 21lb by 24th May!!!!!

Thanks Clara Lou :) I do need help and support this time, just reading a few posts here has made me realise that I'm not alone, that people do fall down it is just a matter of picking yourself up and starting a new day. Many years ago when I just needed to lose a few pounds, it was easier...

Hi, since moving abroad I have put on 2 stone, it is the first time I haven't worked and my life revolves around food. I used to love going to the gym, but don't have access to one and can't motivate myself to exercise at home and the worse thing is I have started smoking again after 7 years...

Hi Ladies, I'm new to the site and new to sw, I live abroad so no meetings for me. I am finding it hard to work out meals though. I'm not going to start though till Sunday probably, it is going to take me that long to work out a menu lol I would like to join your weigh in group as I just can't...
