Thanks Dubchick81, I was so pleased. Can't believe I've lost so much in 2 weeks! Sorry to hear about your rough time, I don't know how you do it, sticking with a diet while coping with all that too.

Hi fellow Thur WI peeps. I weighed myself when I got home from work & I've lost a whopping 3lbs this week! I was amazed at my 6lb loss last week but knew as it was my first week I might not repeat that success. I'm so happy with 3, I'm on track to meet my original target in time for the wedding...

Oops, I just had some vanilla cake with galaxy choc buttercream (don’t all shout at once!) I’ve been perfectly on plan all week, not going over syns, doing my HEX & 1/3 on EE, etc and I’m making test cakes for the wedding cake I’m making next week. I haven’t licked one bowl or spoon or eaten...

Much belated thanks for the welcome! I did EE, I was amazed at the loss too! I was very strict and tried to keep my syns between 8-12 each day. I was really careful to make sure I had my HEXA & HEXB every day, plenty of water and tons of fruit (especially melon & strawberries) It was tough...

Hope you lovely peeps don’t mind me jumping in on the Thur Home Weigh In thread. I started Slimming World last Tues but didn’t get to weigh myself for the first time until Thur night. I had my first weigh-in last night and I’ve lost 6lbs! I’m in shock. Just wanted to share my good news with...

Just had the most random lunch ever, chicken mugshot, mini ham salad (no dressing) & HUGE bowl of 2 types of melon, pineapple & strawberries. I'm over compensating as it took every single bit of willpower not to buy a massive mocha latte & pain au chocolat on the way to work this morning. It's a...

I agree with everyone, sizing should be standardised. It gives so many women a complex when they think they are one particular size and then can't fit into it in a certain shop. My SW journey is all because a snooty woman in a Bridal shop kept talking about my muffin top and the shapes my belly...

Thanks for the advice. I'm not aiming to be totally syn free, I used 11 on day one and 6 & half on day 2. I was just aiming to have between 6-10 each day particularly during the week so perhaps I can use more at the weekend (ie: use up my full 15 on a sat/sun to have s'thing sweet) Anyway...

An apple. How exciting ;) On day 3 of SW, starting to figure out my HEX & syns. On track for today to be a totally syn-free day (fingers crossed)

I was going to attempt a hash/ fry hybrid. Leftover boiled potatoes from last night's syn free chips, cubed along with diced onion & mushroom fried in frylight, scrambled eggs (using some HEXA milk/no butter) & 2 rindless lean bacon. I'm drooling already thinking about it and I'm still eating my...

Leftover portion of last night’s SW chicken curry (I changed the spices a bit, omitted the ginger & used v.little natural yoghurt) with half pack of Microwave Tilda Pure Basmati Rice (1.5 syns if I’m reading my minimins search results right!) Loving the curry, will def be making that again.

Thanks for the welcome & luck Irene. Loving this forum so much, it's a one stop shop for useful info & support!

Ah, that makes sense. I'm winging it today as wife had the book with her last night and I was only using online advice & the SW website to figure out my syns. I'll just have to balance out my breakfast/lunch days to take that into account. It's difficult as I'm so limited by what I can make in...

Day 1 of SW. Just polished off my first ever mugshots (Chicken) was quite tasty actually. Had 2 slices nimble wholemeal toast with scrape of butter (1 = HEXB, other 2 & 1/2 syns as I had Fruit n Fibre for breakfast, 1 syn for butter... I think I've calculated right!) Now devouring a huge bowl...

Thanks Mrsbaggy for the welcome and encouragement. I'm glad that I've seen amazing results with my gf, it has helped me feel better about embarking on SW myself. I'm so happy there is such a great variety of food, it's making me really think about portion control and eating far too much...

Hi all, I joined minimins because when I was searching for info on Slimming World, recipes, syns, etc this site kept giving me the best info. I jotted down lots of brilliant ideas for breakfast and lunch in work and tons of syn totals for all my favourite treats. My main reason for starting...
