Good luck with weigh In! Sometimes it does take a while to hit you how much you've lost but one day it will and you will be like WOW! Lol xx

Haha yeah it felt good just watching other people eat them- especially when people had been moaning about how many calories they had already had today before tucking into them! I'm the same would rather save my syns for something tastier! Well done to you too xxx

Done a late night tonight at work so not been to the gym had a rest day - had a productive day at work though which is good :) went out on lunch to stock up on coffee and milk and bought some cherry bakewells and apple pies managed to resist and just feed everyone else lol although to be fair I...

I've done ww before its great for convenience you can just pick a packet of anything and eat it basically but it didn't encourage me to eat healthy like sw does I think it depends on life style and what you expect from a diet. I like cooking and eating new foods so sw is great for me plus I can...

This is a good idea for a thread! My goals this week: 1) not ruin the whole week for one night out Saturday - plan low syn drinks and healthy hangover food for Sunday 2) complete week 3 of couch to 5k 3) do at least one red day

I'm not sure how exercise has affected my loss on the scales but I've certainly lost inches and body shape has changed. At one point I was going to the gym setting out to burn x amount of calories so I would just go for that on the highest level and stop when I got there but recently I've...

I have friend like this personally I think it's just to make themselves feel better! One of my friends just laughs every time some one mentions a diet then if I see and she's lost weight I always mention it and she just says oh have I I've not been trying when obviously she has she just doesn't...

I just set some sugar free jelly in individual pots, topped with Forrest fruits then topped with "cream" I made that by mixing ff fromage frai with quark and vanilla flavouring then put a crumbled up alpen light on top x

Super speed means eating It helps speed up your weight loss x

What motivated you the first time and why did you rejoin your group? These might give you motivation to do it again. I lost weight a few years ago but put it all back on & more when my gran got cancer. It's taken me 2 years to get back in the right mindset I kept trying to loose and would give...

Thanks it's great for helping me keep track!

Thanks! How's weight watchers going? Hope you have a good weekend too! Xx

I know it's hard when you can't get across your message properly! It is emotional to loose weight and see yourself change, and it's disheartening when you don't see losses your expecting. Do you keep a food diary? I find it helps for me to post my food on here so people can comment to highlight...

Yay it's finally Friday! Don't know why that's so good as I'm still working tomorrow but it'd one day closer to my day off! Had a little Friday night treat tonight but otherwise done well- resisted jam donuts at work , cake and frothy coffees in costa when I went for a coffee after work just...

This is why I've changed from calorie counting to slimming world I was put off healthier foods because that meant I can fit in a pack of crisps or something like that. I'm in the same situation as you hoping I don't gain - ill find out Sunday! But i figure that my body will adjust and I will...

My potatoes are boiling as I type :) lol. I know what you mean I think it takes more effort to keep it untidy than it does to tidy it but sometimes needs must lol x

Ooh I've got some new potatoes at home didn't think of making a potato salad with them might so that! I would certainly go on strike he needs to do his fair share! I'd make your curry and make a big mess and tell him to clear it up lol xx

I agree with the others Aldi is really good they do their own version of just about everything I've made a list of all the free foods from Aldi so I can get most of it there they do their own cereal bard which are 2 for a heB and cheaper than Alpen lights, free yogurts again cheaper than...

I've done the same using a spreadsheet lol I think you can just copy it and then paste onto a reply x

Yup that's a good way to look at things I get disappointed with staying the same or loosing very little but have to remember I'm in it for the long run. Plus I'm expecting a gain for the first few weeks as Ill be eating more but better foods than I was on calorie counting so that will put me...

I get teased at work too! They call me Monica from friends haha nice to know I'm not alone! The chart sounds good I have one on sw online so might print that off and stick up somewhere! Oh my gosh it scares me to think how many days until Christmas! I really would like to loose a stone by then...

Well I shall be trying that one out thank you x

Ooo well let me know how it goes! X

Yup exactly my thoughts. I have Sunday off every week my other day off varies so its the only day I can guarantee I can get to the gym at the same time to WI. Will look into decent scales as the ones I have upstairs are way off! (Even though I'm half a stone lighter on them lol) x

Been off work today the plan was to go to the gym but my legs ache so bad from yesterday - really need to get some decent running shoes! So I've spent the day trawling this site and the ww site for recipies and ideas then been shopping for essentials. Now have a cupboard and fridge full of Alpen...

That's a good idea! I really need to get some decent scales so I can weigh in at home then I can do it whenever I want - Sunday isn't ideal as I like to have a treat at the weekend! X

Loved baked crisps even when not on a diet! How many syns are they? X

What would we do without our parents eh? Lol I do like being able to have 2 healthy extras but I think following ee would make me choose healthier foods and think more about my choices so I'm going to do an ee day on Thursday! I weigh in on a Sunday at the moment, I'm doing sw online so I'm...

Hi it's always good to keep a diary really makes you consider what your eating ill be following :) I love Thai curry didn't know the paste was that low in syns! What's your recipe? X

Your food looks yummy so far! I'll have to try the brownie hot chocolates I've been and got some Of the other options today and have a highlights sachet in the cupboard - just need some marshmallows too!! X

Thanks! I tried slimming world Before briefly but wasn't In the right mindset and had a lot going on but I know it works so I'm back now! My mum did it for ages before extra easy so that's how I know there isn't a lot of information given now on red or green. I find it hard because I've recently...

There are a lot on there yes! When i looked at the comparison chart classes v online it said classes 250+ recipes and online 1000+ recipes x

Yea fingers crossed it works! Paid upfront for 3 months so ill see how that goes if not ill consider going to an evening class it's just hard making the same time every week sometimes I finish at five sometimes its half seven so can never plan anything! Thanks x

Online I never have the same day off except Sunday when there's no meetings on near me! So just online me and my mum x

They do but I can't get to them because they start just as I'm finishing work! I really want to do Zumba and body pump This is the trouble with working different days each week can't commit to groups. Although the gym are rearranging and adding classes so fingers crossed they do one on a Sunday...

I'm sure you can do it! I know what sabotagers are like there's a few in my life at the moment lol I find the easiest thing to do is walk away when they eat. I've recently moved back in with my parents and was used to just living with me and my bf so I always cooked and knew exactly what was In...

Thankyou both! Well decided to have a bit of a treat day yesterday still stuck to my calories but not the healthiest foods lol. Been to my friends for dinner and a movie, I ended up cooking lol so at least I could attempt to make it healthy no oil etc. Breakfast : banana before the gym...

Yup it certainly is! Woo weighed in this morning and I lost 2lb this week which takes me to 2 stone! Really pleased with that in ten weeks it's far quicker than I've ever lost weight before!

Ok so yesterday didn't got at all as I planned but I still managed to stick to my calories. I can't tell you how proud I am of myself for resisting all sorts last night (I mean all sorts too!!!). The plan was to go to dinner and then to bowling, as this is my last weekend of a full month not...

Brilliant well done! I'll weigh in when I get the gym later so fingers crossed! X

The thai red curry was amazing I had it with rice. Thank you so much for the idea!!! X

Feeling so fed up today! I'm fed up of people taking advantage of me and stressing myself out trying to help everyone else so that's it no one is walking all over me anymore I'm going to take a step back and let people get on with things themselves. Anyway enough ranting let's get into the food...

Might try this next time , grating got a bit messy! X

That sounds amazing might do this Saturday night thanks x

It is hard I'm on 1400 calories a day at the moment im considering dropping to 1300 plus veg. I can't imagine how people on 1200 calories a day get a lot of veg and fruit in without using up loads of calories. Let me know how you get on x

Hmmm I'm a bit torn on this one really. At the moment I weigh and cc all my fruit and veg. When I started I didn't then I just started adding random weights just small amounts to say I'd had them but then i actually decided to weigh them one day and realised just how much I was eating and is...

Wow you've done so well!!! I did ww a few years ago but also decided to cc this time. Like you so far I'm loving the flexibility of it. Good luck with the rest of your journey x

Yup I made it Saturday and was shocked by how good it was! Even my mum liked it will defiantly be having that again x

I do struggle when I'm at home but at work I just keep a big bottle near the printer and have a bit every time I go there. It does help to get rid of any hunger so I need to find a way of doing it at home! X

Thanks it was tasty felt naughty having the pizza things though lol x

Ooo that sounds good how do you make them? I've just seem your reply to my previous comment it didn't notify me sorry so I've subscribed now lol :) not tried any yet I have recently moved home back with my parents and my mum cooks most nights but I do weekends so will give them a go and yep I am...

Don't know why I thought it was a good Idea to go to the gym again whilst I was still aching from yesterday I'm absolutely knackered now! Breakfast - porridge ( boring I know having it every day but it's so easy and filling!) Lunch- 4 rice cakes with salad beet root and garlic and herb salad...

1lb loss is still a loss! I know how you feel though I've never been a fast looser and it's hard when you've put so much effort in but it might come off next week so just keep it up! You've done really well so far x

Walking is a really good place to start and it does help! I lost weight years ago on we and didn't exercise until nearly at goal. I wish I had because now I am exercising I notice how much my body shape is changing. Walking also gives you something to build on so you can walk for a few months...

Also forgot to mention well done on resisting them donuts!!! X

Thanks I used to hate it but really starting to enjoy it now and it's really changing my body shape whilst I loose weight! X

I do! I'm Xgeorgix on there x

Hi! I could also do with a buddy I'm 12 stone 12 lbs at the moment at 5ft 3. Ideally i would like to loose one and a half stone before Xmas so around 1 1/2 pound a week which I hope is do able! Lol let me know if you want to pair up! I think having someone else in a similar position would...

Of course you can do it! Yeah it's a good idea to up your exercise calories at the weekend then and just remember if you do go over its not the end of the world the important thing is getting straight back on it - damage limitation lol good luck x

Thankyou!! It was hard at first to keep exercising as I've never really enjoyed it but I'm getting into it now and If i don't go I feel guilty lol how times have changed!

I'be cut down on pasta I used to eat loads with cheese now I'll have it occasionally but I will have wholemeal pasta instead. Ive also cut down on wine I've not actually drank anything for three weeks and havent really missed it at all x

Lost 2lbs this week wool but even better is that I have lost 5% of my body weight In two weeks so I'm really pleased with that! Breakfast: banana Lunch: tortilla wrap pizza with homemade sweet potato crisps Dinner: homemade veg soup to start them turkey roast sweet potato carrots roast parsnip...

So last night I made a sweet potato curry. The recipe serves 4 and is 186 calories per portion. 500g sweet potato 150g mushrooms 150g peppers 300g onion 5tsp curry powder 1 tin tomato 1 tbl spn tomato puree Salt to taste Chop the potato mushrooms peppers and onions up fairly small and add...

Thought I would post some of my favourite recipes on here so when I'm stuck for ideas I can remember what ive enjoyed In the past!

Oh and forgot to mention weigh in today fingers crossed for a loss!!

Soooo yesterday's planned changed slightly but still within calories! Breakfast and lunch were the same but for dinner; 1/4 of Sainsbury's Indian starter pack 2 poppadoms with homemade riata (sp?) Sweet potato curry with cauliflowers rice which was the first time I've had the rice and was...

Well done on your weight loss so far! Wish I could do spin I watch them whilst I'm on the treadmill and just looking at them makes me tired lol x

Oh well that's your weekend treat ;) sounds lovely though and everyone's got to have a treat once in a while x

Congratulations on your loss so far you've done really well!! Your diary sounds so tasty lol think i may have to go out and buy some frozen yogurt now x

Well done on your loss!! I also weigh in on a Sunday so will see if I've lost anything lol. Just had a read of your diary doing well so far! The popcorn sounds good where did you get the corn from? I also know what you mean about clothes not fitting I seem to live in leggings at the moments lol x

Thought I would update this morning as I will probably forget tonight! Got work today then going to the gym and I'm then making dinner for a few people (sweet potato curry) if I get time I'll get a cauliflower and try making it into rice If not brown rice it is. This will also be my third...

Finally Friday today!! Don't know why that's so good as I still have to work tomorrow but never mind! Gone slightly over my calories today but I'll make it up at the gym tomorrow! Breakfast; 27g porridge Lunch; wholemeal and Oat bagel with scrambled egg whites, peach and a weight watchers...

Brilliant thanks I'll try this soon!! X

You don't necessarily need to join the gym just go for walks stead but certainly don't feel embarrassed about going to the gym! I was so unfit when I started but it soon Improves I just started slowly on the bike a little bit on the cross trainer and walking on the treadmill. I'm still not super...

I make one for 150 calories a portion but I don't use a sauce just sweet potato mushrooms onions peppers tinned tomato pasatta curry powder garlic and a bit of salt. I find by putting the curry powder on the veg raw too gives It a stronger taste then just add a bit with the sauce. For a few...

Not feeling too good today which i think is why I'm was so tired yesterday so decided to give the gym a miss today was planning Friday Saturday off but will just have tonight off and go Saturday. Today's food; Breakfast: 27g porridge with 15g sultanas Lunch: 60g (dry weight) wholemeal pasta...

Thanks! Yep they are pretty tasty I'm also going to do another one with jelly mixed berries and quark mixed with fromage frais natural yogurt with vanilla essence this weekend so I'll report back on that one.

Im sure you can do it! Good luck with both your weight loss and the wedding planning x

Just wondered if anyone had tried this? If so what does it taste like and how do you make it?? Im interested to try this but I can't imagine what it tastes like! Thanks x

Good luck! A piece of clothing is always a good measure of how much weight you've lost and I'm sure you will be back in that dress in now time x

I think that monitoring carbs is important but also fat sugar and protein. I've got a Friend on 1200 calories a day who things she can eat whatever and still loose weight even if it's only one big mac all day and it's crazy!! I've been monitoring my fat and sugar ( which I always go over due to...

Absolutely worn out today! What felt like a loooong day at work and then the gym again just stuck to walking uphill on the treadmill today and a few weights burning 400 calories. As for my food; Breakfast: 27g porridge Lunch: panini with tuna mayo and cheese (homemade) with one of my fizzy...

Had a lovely day off today despite the weather and managed to find lots of lovey recipes. As for my food; Breakfast - omlette (1 egg 1 egg white mushrooms onion ham and 30g low fat cheese) Lunch- tortilla wrap with ham lettuce tomato mayonnaise and salad dressing, packet of Aldi cheese puffs...

I also found this an interesting read ill certainly be watching my fat and sugars more closely now! X

Just been having a look at your diary loving the menus my type of food!! You've done so well x

I have 27g porridge when I'm at work made with water for 101 calories, today I've had an omlette with mushrooms onions peppers 1 egg and 1 egg white and 30g elf cheese and 2 slices of ham without the ham and cheese it would be just over 100 cals but you could do it with 2 egg whites x

Like most people said soup is a good idea. I like cracker breads rather than bread I use ryvita, Melba toast and Finn crips for Lower calorie alternatives and top it with tuna/Philly/ham/low ft homous etc. salads a good lunch too and whole wheat couscous, whole meal pasta or rice and you can put...

Looks good like the idea of the yogurt instead of sour cream! X

Good idea for photos! I will be trying some of these x

Looks good and a good size portion too will try this! X

Sounds lovely I never think of using different veg for pasta sauce just stick to mushrooms onions and peppers but I'll give this a go! X

Really good that your getting straight back on it! I really struggled after my week away but got there eventually. Good luck x

Some of the recipes look really good I've been looking for some new ideas for tea I'll try some of these!

I tried sw but just love pasta too much for it to work for me! I love cc as its so flexible, you can eat out easily and you can have the occasional treat. I've been doing it for two months and lost 20lb so far which is much quicker than I've lost weight before too. I'm on 1400 cals a day but mfp...

I didn't manage to get online yesterday so I'll do it now... Breakfast: 27g porridge Lunch: 90g whole wheat cous cous with roasted onions carrots and parsnips Chopped apple, 20g sultanas and 100g fat free natural yogurt Dinner: 147g gammon joint, 180g jacket potato with 30f low fat cheese...

I've been trying to come up with a plan too! What I've decided to do is try and stick to "cleaner foods", weigh and log EVERYTHING (I've not been logging drinks like sugar free squash or coffee up until now) and be as organised as I can. Also using the scales at the gym rather than home as they...

Ok so I thought I would start a diary so I have someplace to write down my rather random thoughts and log my food. A bit about me.. I'm 22 and work in a bank so I'm sat down most of the day which doesn't help my weight loss! I've lost weight before on weight watchers and half heartedly tried...

I love the cross trainer at the gym and I'm slowly getting to running. Also love swimming. Want to try Zumba but the classes at my gym are at half five and I never have a set time to finish work!

I always go over my sugar, mainly due to the fruit! Im just trying to focus on getting a balanced diet and The only thing I ever go over on is sugar and I don't worry too much if it's healthy sugars

Lunch change slightly ended up with a chicken salad as ran out of tuna and dinner will be yet more salad with boiled eggs beetroot and cottage cheese with a salmon fillet then a snack tonight will be a cereal bar (heb) I had some light Philly on my bacon butty this morning so used my hea...

Well this is my first day back on slimming world I did it a long time ago but didnt really put much effort it back to it this time with a much better frame of mind and the motivation to do it! I can't get to meetings as I never know what time I finish work and have different days off every week...

need to add 8syns on to yesterday got the munchies in the evening because i had dinner so early so i had a pack of velvet crunch and 2 nice biscuits (8syns). I can really notice the difference when i don't have a proper breakfast i get really hungry later on after my main meal. Anyway I've...

got up very late today (quarter to eleven) cant believe i slept so long! so didn't have any breakfast, made up for it with two lunches though! lol reading on here and thought i'd try the smash pizza so made a small one to try (around the size of my palm) and wish id made more it was yummy! so...

i came across to sw from ww just over a month ago and i love it! i do it online as i never have the same days off or finish work at a set time so find it difficult to go to one particular meeting but sw is so much more flexible than ww and i love pasta so it suits me down to the ground. I also...

good idea! This never even crossed my mind will def do that in future though to save myself a few syns thanks

just double checked at the cheese sauce was only 2.5 for the portion i had so on 9.5 for the day may add a pack of velvet crunch later to take me to 13.5 so 23.5/105 for the week

i love sw quiche with salad! today i had toast (2 slices of nimble i synned it today but it could be a heb) with a tin of beams with sausages for 2syns which was delicious! i often take pasta n sauce or savoury rice you could take a jacket potato (if you have a microwave) soup (again with the...

be careful though because you would need to syn the spaghetti bolognaise as they probably wont use extra lean mince so this would have syns in it! Personally (only because i love it!) i would use my weekly syn allowance on a pizza lol but if you want to keep it low then pasta with a tomato based...

didnt go with the omlette this morning as didnt have time before work but off tomorrow so i might try one then... breakfast; 28g porridge made with water (heb) lunch; 2 slice nimble (5syns) can of beans with sausages in (2syns) which was lovely followed by apple, 2 plums and an orange...
