If you tell the pub that you are following a gluten free diet they are likely to provide something like a ham salad. I do this for our meetings in work it was the idea of one of my senior managers, she noticed I was eating my own food and asked why, I explained and she asked about the sort of...

You're more restrained in your dreams than I am in mine, clearly. Haha.

I found that I gained when I exercised but wasn't drinking enough water so I changed my habits and on the day I'd exercise I would drink at least a litre during the day before exercising, usually 500ml-1litre while exercising and at least a litre during the rest of the evening afterwards, always...

That's exactly what I was like this morning. Felt so disappointed in myself and started panicking about weigh in tomorrow and wondering whether it would show on the scales until, as you say, I realised it was a dream. So gutting. Haha.

I'm back on SW an am in my third week having lost 7lbs over my first 2 weeks. I keep having dreams that I go over my syns, does anyone else get this? Last night I dreamt that I was in Costco and was buying breadcrumbs which I know are 4.5 syns for 25g so I measured 25g and instead of putting...

Same here and it's finally paid off. :) my friend in uni has been trying to lose weight by not eating processed foods but as she doesn't really understand what constitutes processed foods she was living off salads and fruit and would only last 3 or 4 days before binging out and ruining all her...

I went to harvesters for lunch today and just wanted to check if anyone knew if my syn values are correct. I had salad (lettuce, carrots, beetroot, sweet corn) with a ladle of red devil sauce (3 syns) and for main I had half a spitroast chicken, it came with skin in but I removed this, grilled...

To be honest I think both plans are fairly similar these days but with the extra free foods (of meat, potatoes and pasta) on sw but the extra points for nights out on WW. Personally I prefer SW but that's because I went there first, I knew the plan and when I tried WW for a bit I couldn't get...

Welcome back. :) I started back 2 weeks ago. For me, personally, group is a great motivator, I've only been back 2 weeks but already last week had a few 'shall I just.......' Moments but the thought of going to group and wanting to add to the groups collective total helped. Another thing is to...

I restarted for the last time (again) 2 weeks ago and have lost 7lbs. Woohoo. :) still got about 3.5 stone to go though but trying not to focus on that too much. :)

Tried a nap but I'm not very good at it. Haha. The slightest noise seems to wake me up so only ever get 15-20 mins. Been eating banana's as well, maybe that's why I was craving them.......... :) I like the sound of the banana split though. May try that the next time I get peckish. I'm just...

Does anyone else find it really difficult to stick to syns when they're shattered? I have trouble enough sleeping because of my other half snoring as it is but last night was a nightmare. He came to bed about 3am and accidentally let the door slam which woke me up and then, about 3.45am, just...

Glad I read this thread. I'm sat in group at the mo and Forgot to put in the basket and forgot to bring anything but I had a sachet of mint options in my bag so put that in. Haha.

Does it really?! I may have to give it a go. Thanks. :)

Still can't quite get to the point where I don't drink when there's rugby on. At the mo I'd just rather plan it into my weekly syns. :) 2 good games today though weren't they? :)

It's surprising isn't it! I don't drink that often to be honest, special occasions and rugby it about it. But when I drink, I drink. Lol. And it all adds up, I like lager when watching the rugby but am staying in today so I have limited alcohol, have 5 bottles of bud in the kitchen ready and...

There's also some lovely 'stodgy' foods that you can make for very low or free syns. I'm going to be having a few drinks later so had beans on toast (HEB) with dry-fried onions and weight watchers spread (1 syn) for breakfast and it was like having a proper 'per-drink' breakfast. Then I've got...

Hey, I'm no expert with 'pretend food' but just wanted to say that this could be a good idea because they are 'tweaks' and could affect your weight loss. I have the Cous Cous cake now and then but not very often.

Yeah, I used to do that as well so might go back to that while there's rugby although looking at my syns this week it's been: 15 9 10.5 12.5 18.5 25 30 (tomorrow) Which is 105.5. If I can manage the stew and super free food day (with hex's of course) on sun then I'll only actually be 0.5...

Here's today's food diary plan: EE Breakfast - wholemeal toast (HEB) with spread (3 syns) and an apple Lunch - homemade stew with loads of veggies and beef Snack - mullerlight yogurt with coconut Greek style goregousness (0.5 syns) Dinner - slimming world kebab in wholemeal pitta (7.5 syns)...

I don't wanna sound like he doesn't support me because he does but I think it frustrates him that he can't cook how he wants to. This time he is being much better with making changes and we have decided that once a week I'll go to my mum and dads for tea and he can have what he wants and he can...

Today's food - Plan: Green Breakfast - 2 Linda McCartney sausages (4 syns), baked beans, 2 eggs scrambled and an apple Lunch - 3 ryvita (heb) with chilli Philly (hea) and ham (heb) Snacks - coconut Greek style mullerlight yogurt (0.5 syns) and apples Dinner - ate out at Italian and...

Is the eating out bit in the book reliable? I've realised I haven't had any meat today so could call it a green day but the 'average Italian' stuff in eating out lasagne 12.5 syns, 4 cheese ravioli 7 syns, vegetable cannelloni 9.5 syns, is that particularly reliable? If so I'm actually far less...

Figured something tomatoey would be the best option. I'm also guessing that its a pretty typical Italian menu. What about the whole fresh pasta thing? I have had 5 syns today so far so any idea on how many is in a pasta arrabiata? Am I better off maybe with steak or something if they do it? Or...

I'm going out tonight for a friends birthday, not drinking because of the medication I'm on but going for an Italian in Bellini's in Cardiff (I don't know if Bellini's is a chain or just cardiff based). Problem is I'm on an iPad so can't load the page to look at the menu (too much flash). Does...

Yup, 0.5 syns. I have the coconut ones, so gooood. :)

Well done, that's brilliant and really inspiring as you only started as a bit more than me weight wise so it shows that it can be done. :)

You say you put on with EE, over what period? What does your food diary look like when doing EE? Are you getting 1/3 super free in? Are you sure that the cheats and tweaks that you're using on a red day you're also using on am EE day? There are lots of reasons EE won't work, some people who...

Ooohhh, I did not know about the spray cream, will have to find that!!!! :) I asked on here and apparently there is no free food allowance on packaged/pre-prepared soups so sadly it's 8.5. It's ok though, day 1 blip is all. :) I really enjoy doing slimming world, there's so much food to...

Just started back on the plan this week and took my measurements to start so will keep a track of how it goes. :)

I'm the same - evenings are my worst time. I have started saving 3 syns to have a highlights hot choc with some mini marshmallows (the ones I have at the mo are 10 for 1 syn). It sorts the sweet cravings, lasts longer than chocolate or other sweet snacks and feels like a real treat. :) failing...

Eggs are very good for breakfast as they are full of protein. I now tend to have fruit at breakfast time, scrambled eggs (with nothing added) around 10.30 and then I don't get hungry until about 1.30-2pm. Snacks wise......how about something like ryvita from your HEB? I am eating mine with...

Today's food..... Plan: EE Breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled and a banana Lunch - cous cous with onion and Tesco light choices crumbed ham and a mullerlight coconut Greek yogurt thingy (0.5syns) Snacks - milk tray choc (2.5 syns), 2 apples, 3 ryvitas (HEB) and chilli Philly (2 syns) Dinner -...

try not to weigh yourself in between - easier said than done, I know. There is a huge emphasis put on weighing at the same day and same time every week as our bodies are strange creatures. I can change by 2-7lbs in the morning compared to the evening, if I've drunk a lot of water before bed or...

I do slimming world from home, partly because I can't afford to join until the middle of feb when I get paid but, maybe, if it all goes well I will continue doing it from home and either invest in some decent scales (the set I have now cost £6 from home bargains, haha) or go to boots every week...

Thanks both. Hoping that putting it on here keeps me on track, too much messing around in the past. :)

Day 3 and today's food........ Plan: extra easy Breakfast - banana and 2 eggs scrambled (nothing added) Lunch - 2 Linda McCartney sausages (2 syns each), 2 slices wholemeal bread (HEB) and baked beans Snack - banana and a mullerlight Greek style yogurt with coconut (0.5 syns) Dinner - turkey...

We've all been there, and I know I certainly will again. Haha. Slimming world chips are a great hangover food, even better is a slimming world chip butty. Also, tortilla pizza - tortilla wrap (5-7 syns), tomato purée, cheese (HEA) and whatever veg and meat you have all free. :) another one...

Good luck mrs quadkon, as I said in my previous post, best advice I think I can give is don't take the plan for granted. :D

I forgot about baked beans! :) haven't had them for ages but had some today and realised that they're EE (or green). It's good that I have re-read the book because I think I was a bit complacent last time I was on the plan and re-reading everything and looking at it completely differently seems...

To be honest, I don't think my boss does it maliciously, I think he just doesn't think. Although you may be right and seeing as my 'no, I don't fancy it' response doesn't seem to work I may just have to ignore the bad behaviour from now on - much like you do with a naughty child. Hahaha.

Yeah, when I've done it before and near to pmt time I generally live off sw chips with extra light mayo and sweet chilli sauce. Lol. My carbs cravings may come back but until then I will stick with mostly red and a few EE when I fancy rice. :) that'll teach me to just stick with what I know...

I love meat too which is why EE used to be the best for me but I haven't really fancied potatoes and pasta for a while so think I may inadvertently end up doing mostly red days. That's all I meant - I automatically planned to do extra easy because that's what I've always done but, actually, I...

Ahhh, my bad, should have paid a bit more attention to the book. Haha. To be honest I rarely eat pastas and potatoes anymore so will probably end up mostly on red days but will do ee on the days I have rice. Think that's prob the best option. Or think of it as EE (as I did today) then suddenly...

I'm doing EE. I know that it's good for everyone but convincing my other half of that is difficult. He loves cooking with butter, oil, cream etc and hates low fat spread, fry light and creme fraiche etc. so it's difficult to get him to try the meals without making funny faces or commenting that...

Thanks both, keeping my fingers crossed for maintaining my motivation and getting a good weight loss. I've done slimming world a few times in the past and it has always worked for me but my OH never have it a chance so I was stagnant for ages and I left trying calorie counting, slim fast, you...

Should I assume no news is good news??? Lol.

I've done slimming world a few times and, since its invention, I have done EE because I like potato and pasta. In the past few months, however, I just haven't fancied pastas and potatoes but occasionally have rice. Am I better off doing red days and when I do have the occasional portion of rice...

Ok, day 2. If someone could take a look and comment on my food diary that would be brill, I'm doing sw from home for the first 2 weeks so would really appreciate as much feedback as possible: (red day today) breakfast - fruit Lunch - wholemeal bread (HEB) and weight watchers spread (1 syns)...

all of your post is spot on. The bit about fruit though (and op this is no way a dig at you, this is a general observation) the amount of people I know who seriously limit their fruit because of the sugar content is mad. Our body processes sugars in fruits differently to manufactured sugar. This...

People can be so inconsiderate sometimes. My office/room is right opposite the kitchen and people bring in cakes for birthdays etc. that's fine and if I know there's something in there ill avoid the kitchen but my boss (who is in my office/room) comes in, mouth full of cake, nomming and saying...

Glad it's not just me. Lol. I've done slimming world on and off for a few years now but am not normally a big soup eater, as I say, it's mostly because I've got laryngitis and soup is really good for my throat. I suppose I could make my own but feeling crappy is not a good time to try and become...

Awwww, boo. Was hoping to be able to have options hot choc later but I had a mini magnum earlier so that's now all my syns. I have laryngitis at the moment so soups are the best thing as too much solid food hurts my throat. Out of interest, how come pre-made soups don't have a free food...

Hi all, im really sorry to do this but I am unable to join a group until a week on Saturday when I have the money so I'm going it alone for the next few weeks. Can anyone help me calculating the syns of this soup pretty please? Free food - tomatoes Cals - 174 protein - 3.9g Carbs - 22.5g...

Ok, day one doing it from home and as I haven't been shopping yet I kind of just had to make do with what was there, plus, have laryngitis so lots of liquid and cold things are in order. So, here goes.......... breakfast - blueberries and fat free yogurt lunch - waitrose tomato soup (not 100%...

Thanks both. Glad to see I'm not the only serial starter. :) slimmerbytheday - I'm so glad it's working, part of me thinks that I have done slimming world so many times that I should be able to do it on my own. I know the science behind it, I get syns and extra easy, red, green etc so I think...

This is about the 15th time I would have joined slimming world, yet again bigger than when I left. :( I have struggled to lose any weight at all this year and have pretty much tried everything. I've been calorie counting for the last month and despite having 1200-1600 calories every day I...

Awww, brill, thanks mummy, I'll have to have a nose at that then. Xx

Should I find a class to go to? I wanted to do it from home but I'm starting to think that that's not going to be possible as I don't have any of the books to get started.

Joined WW yesterday after being a long term slimming worldy but figure I need something with a bit more control that helps me manage my portion size. I've joined online so am finding everything a bit overwhelming.

Apologies if this has already been discussed but I did a search and couldn't find anything. :) Does anyone count the sugars in fruit? I'm on a 12 hour shift today and get ridiculously bored so tend to bring in loads of snacky things in have chocolate and cookies which total about 32g and a...

Go to the 'friends' tab and then there should be a button 'add friend' then just type in their username and you have the option of adding a message as well.

My feet were hurting because you need to do a lot of work to keep your balance so I don't know about it with your ankle........maybe speak to your GP first? The class itself was quite good and I'm not in too much agony this morning (drank about 5 pints of water during and after the class...

I did it, survived and actually quite enjoyed it. :) gonna huuuuurrrrrt tomorrow. Trying the rpm class on weds.

I'm going to try this tonight. I don't have the GREATEST fitness levels though. My time at the gym usually consists of: 15 Minutes on the treadmill (doing about 3k) 500 metres on the rowing machine (takes approximately 3 minutes) 5 minutes on the bike 5 minutes on the cross trainer 30 half...

Hmm, hadn't thought about a diary. I guess if I'm logging my food anyway I may as well. Thanks, added you back. :D

Thanks, done. :) I should have said, I'm lexybaby84 on MFP if anyone wants to add me. Would love some hints/tips/advice/support. :) I'm trying not to get too hung up on food as I think that has been my problem with SW recently so it's possible I may not be on here much but will be on MFP...

Hi all, Just coming over here from the Slimming World thread. I've pretty much bounced around the same weight for about 6 months but I think that I'm going to try just eating sensibly and doing a bit of exercise. I've downloaded My Fitness Pal and recorded my food since Wednesday and have had...

1lb a week is a fab loss. Well done. A far as your OH is concerned have you spoken to him about your loss? I've had real heart to hearts with my OH in the past about losing weight and how I feel being overweight and it means that if I have a bad food day or tell him I can't be bothered he...

Put half on this week. :( feel rubbish. Got an sas log this week so hopefully will get back on track soon enough. Been a bit broke this last week so have had to rely on what's in the freezer, think maybe I didn't have enough super free coz I can't buy fruit and veg. Get paid thurs/fri so will...

My understanding is that is essentially it - we should be eating a minimum of 1200 calories a day or our body would go into starvation mode. We don't count calories on sw but sw have created the plan so that we get 1200-1600 calories a day without even thinking about it.

Hi all, is it ok to join. I've been doing slimming world for a while but went a bit off track so changed groups about 3 weeks ago and am counting that as a fresh start. Looking forward to tomorrow night, had a pretty good week until today (burnt my rice in the microwave at work so had to buy a...

I think you're right about the pressure, if you're known for having lost every week you are more likely to put a lot of pressure on yourself to keep that up - I think all of us would be the same. Thankfully I'm rubbish at keeping on track so every few weeks I put on. Haha. Hopefully I've put...

To be fair, some weeks I couldn't agree with him more, especially when queueing. :)

Yeah this is what I'm finding but i never really realised it until I changed, ya know?

Oh yeah, I can defo agree with that. Lol.

Congrats!! :) I really liked the consultant in the old class, she was brilliant to text or phone whenever we wanted I think she was bound by circumstance in the group though. She had a 5.30pm and 7.30pm group on a mon and a 9.30am group on a tues and she's also considering adding in a 3.30pm...

It's to clarify, I did a search but couldn't find anything relating to this....... Was just wondering if anyone had a preference with regards to the size of the group? I recently changed groups due to moving house and having been to school with many people in my new group thought it'd be a...

That's cool, enjoy. :) sounds like your last consultant was a right monster. Lol.

Hi all, just rejoining minimins after a short absence. :) unfortunately I was in the 12's when I left and am still in the 12's now. Lol. feeling much better about the plan though, changed groups a couple of weeks ago and the new group has given me a new lease of sw life. :) Weighed in last...

I changed groups about a month ago. I went to the new group as a visitor the first week to see if I liked it, then the second week when I handed my card to the pay lady I just asked to be transferred, she clicked a couple of buttons and it was all done. :) simples.

Hey, welcome. 6 weeks and managed to lose?!?! I need to know your secret. Lol. We're pretty close in stats, I'm 5ft 4 and 12.12.5. :) I've had an ok week so far. Moved back with my parents for 2 weeks while waiting for my new place to be ready and it is a nightmare trying to diet there with...

That is awful. She sounds like a horrible consultant. My consultant is an area manager and she completely advocates saving syns as long as it keeps working. She is of the minimins school of thought that as long as your tweaks are working, carry on, that way, if your weight loss slows then you...

I have to be honest I've never had a problem with the injection BUT I've got to be more prepared. The reason it contributes to weight gain is because you have 3 months worth of period symptoms at the time it's due so the NEED (and it really is a need) to eat junk food and stodgy stuff is...

Yeah, if only. They get it easy, no contraception that messes with their hormones, no child birth and it's easier for them to lose weight. Lol. I put on 1.5lbs can't say I didn't deserve it but also I wore jeans tonight and been wearing leggings for weeks do fingers crossed that it's mostly...

Seriously? Me too, lol, not the STS bit, haven't found that out yet but the star week bit. I'm n the injection as well and normally get affected by star week but get affected really bad every 3 months when I'm due the injection and that is this week, grrrrrrrrrr, feel horibly bloated and fat...

I know, I feel exactly the same. Was thinking of skipping weigh in coz I seem to have been up and down for the last few months and really didn't want to gain this week.

I could have written this post. Feel awful this week coz I been staying between the old flat and my parents (I'm going to them for 2 weeks until I move into the new flat) so not planned any meals, dreading weigh in tomorrow but just gotta draw a line under it and move on.

Oooh, that's a good idea for next time. I ended up having the cathedral city on the go things (8.5 syns for the packet but only 2.5 coz the cheese is my HEA), some packet ham and apples. Very nice. Lol.

I need inspiration........ I haven't brought anything for lunch today so have to go out and buy. I want something I can eat (and preferably make) on the go as I am out and about visiting clients this afternoon. I am really really fancying a sancwich but had quite a lot of syns the last 2 days so...

I take it no one's interested then. :(

Is anyone planning on doing the slimmer summerthon? I am. :) if there are a few of us doing it is it worth doing it as a challenge or if not a challenge just a weekly update on how we're all doing to see how much minimins can raise for the NSPCC. :) Let me know if you fancy it, I'm willing to...

Hey, 2lb is great, well done. As for the bloating etc, have you been drinking lots of water? I find with slimming world water is more important than ever, I don't know why though. Lol. With me, if I don't drink water through the day I feel really really bloated and if I have a sneaky check of...

Last day of the lent challenge. How is everyone feeling? Will anyone be waiting till midnight and then having/doing whatever it is they gave up? I for one am looking forward to having a cup of tea with my Sunday lunch tomorrow. Nom nom. Well done all. :)

Can I make a suggestion, probably not for this one but for the next challenge. In the Easter challenge thread we didn't have a list, someone very kindly kept track of the thread and put up one list every Friday. I would offer to do it but I come on here on my phone and the way it ran was...

The thing with that is, unless you go to a more expensive restaurant they tend to use the cheapest ingredients they can get and these are always the fattiest. So with that cheaper restaurants just wouldn't do it and more expensive restaurants would charge even more for their, already over...

Good luck foxy lox. I've been pretty good this week although I'm going to Harry ransdems tonight before the cinema so that's pretty high syn I think. It's eat in so is smaller portions than a take away so I'm not 100% sure how to syn it.

Geobar, I added mine on there nearly 2 weeks ago and I had disappeared yesterday so I think someone added a VERY old list so there are lots of people who are missing at the mo.

Updated - I got deleted completely and I've been on this list for about 2 weeks so I'm guessing a lot of others would have disappeared to...... Ailly 7lbs (1lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Ally89 4lbs (0lbs lost - 4lbs to go) Alyce 7lbs (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Alycyn1980 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8lbs to go)...

You could set up a countdown on Facebo......... Oh, no, wait. :):):) Well done on giving it up, I did it last year and it was haaaaaaard. Although, I deactivated my account so didn't get notifications or worry that people had contacted me otherwise it would have killed me. Lol. Congrats...

Thanks everyone for all your lovely words. I feel a bit better today and am trying to use it to (in a weird way) inspire me to go at it so next time I get told I'm an inspiration it'll put a smile on my face. :)

I hope so. I think my consultant is brilliant but sometimes I worry that she's TOO good. Haha. As much as I don't keep a secret of my yo-yo from the members that I talk to, she obviously doesn't mention it in class and really focusses on my losses. I worry that this means that people think...

Tonight in group one lady came up to me at the end and told me I inspired here. I'm so privileged that she told me that but at the same time I feel like a complete fraud. Most of you on here probably know my story but for those of you who don't....... I joined sw in April last year and lost a...

I know, I am. Whatever happens I will get there. Done a massive shop yesterday to make sure in not tempted by anything else. Lol. Also, found some jd sauce in tesco which is gorgeous and only 1 syns a tbsb. I certainly will not be needing any tgi's for a while. :)

Had 2 weeks of so came back yesterday with 4.5lb gain. :( so disappointed but not going to let it get me down too much. Back at home and back on plan starting today. : Angie_b 15.5lbs lost - 78.5lbs to go MissThomas 0lbs lost - 40lbs to go Pinkelle - 73 lost - 27 to go Ladybethny - 9lb lost -...

I gained 4.5lb this week after 2 weeks off. Disappointed but had no choice as I was away. No chance of meeting my Easter challenge but got 2 weeks to make it look a bit better. Lol.

Took a huge backwards step today with a 4.5lb gain after a hols. Still, onwards and downwards this week....... Acc 35lbs (3lbs lost - 32lbs to go) Aesir 47lbs ( 5.5lbs lost~ 41.5lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (8.25lbs lost - 4.75lbs to go) All About the climb 35lbs (13lbs lost-22 to go) Alwyn 29lbs...

Took a massive backward step tonight with a 4.5lb gain. :( still back on it today so onwards and downwards. :) Acc 35lbs (3lbs lost - 32lbs to go) Aesir 47lbs ( 5.5lbs lost~ 41.5lbs to go) Ali* 14lbs (8.25lbs lost - 4.75lbs to go) All About the climb 35lbs (13lbs lost-22 to go) Alwyn 29lbs...

Yeah it was well worth it. Haha. Just wish I could do all those things and not put on 4.5lbs. Hehe. Lots of water and melon for me next week. :)

Ruined everything and ended march 1.5lbs heavier than when I started. Still, next month will anialate that figure. :)

Well I'm back and, as predicted, it was a disaster. :( weighed in tonight and put on 4.5lbs over 2 weeks. I'm now at 13 on the dot but I'm not changing groups as it is merely a blip. :) Plan of action for this week - I have bought the magazine and am planning to follow the 7 day menu plan...

I had a season ticket for the blues last year but they had so many Friday fixtures this season that it wasn't worthwhile (I do an explorer scout group on a fri night). I literally haven't got to any games this season but am hoping to go to HC quarter/semi/final (final is always my birthday...

Thanks butt. :) went to the senedd tonight (the welsh government building) for an official presentation of the trophy. Literally got to within 3 feet of the players and got a wave off one of them. :) fab night. I'll definitely try my hardest to stay on plan (or maybe that should be, get back...

Oops, just re-read my box, it is 11cals if made with 30mls of skimmed milk, 14cals is made with 30mls of semi-skimmed milk.

Need a telling off please. Had a bad weekend as I knew I would as I had a Grand Slam to celebrate! :) I can't go to group tonight coz I'm going to a celebration in Cardiff Bay for the grand slam (yes, by the way, I do love rugby!! :) ) The problem is, I need to get my mind back on track...

Yeah, sorry, it's 10 cals without milk. I had a brief flit with calorie counting a few years ago so looked on my tea bag box. I don't drink caffeine ATM coz of lent but normally I have loads of tea a day, I have 2 before 9.30am. Lol. It's never affected my weight loss though.

Don't ever believe your scales. Are they normally the same as the sw ones? Our weight fluctuates every day and throughout the day as well. When I used to weigh at home I would STS all week and then on Sunday night my weight would finally change, but if I weighed morning and night or morning...

Tea is free so as long as you aren't drinking so much that you feel like a water balloon you'll be fine. I've given up caffeine for lent but before that I would drink at least 7 cups of tea a day and it has never ever affected my weight loss. A cup of tea is 10 calories and 1lb in weight is...

I don't know what it is but all I want to do is eat chocolate, I can go weeks without it normally but as soon as I start working........ No amount of substitutions seem to work but got the peanut hi fi bars and hoping they help for my last remaining essay. :)

Haha, I'm not a hsm fan either.......honest? :):):)

Wild cats, everywhere, wave your hands up in the air. :) (yes, I am trying to distract. Hehe.)

Well, STS tonight but had huge problems as I was writing essays and all I wanted to do was sit there with a big bar of chocolate. Managed the cravings as best as I can so managed a STS so am happy with that. One more essay to write this week so I've stocked up on peanut hi-fi's, I'll either use...

Haha. Good call, I most definitely am. :)

I've been exactly the same this week, can't say no to anything. Had 3 days over my syns on tues weds and thurs. mostly coz I'm stressing over doing my assignments at the mo (3x3000 words all due in next week). On fri I got up and decided I couldn't sabotage myself anymore so just drew a line...

I'm still here and caffeine free. :) I have had some chocolate though as the level of caffeine in choc is less than the level I decaff coffee. :)

Thanks bunnylush, that does help. Problem with me at this exact moment in time Is I can't see passed the end of next week never mind summer. :( will defo work on it though. :) thanks. Xx

It is horrible. I really hope it is just the essay thing coz I was beginning to think I finally got my head round it. :( I'm not gonna cave completely (which I feel like doing) but I know there's still very little chance of a loss next week.

I know the feeling. I'm having exactly the same this week. Maxed out syns today and over syns the 2 days previous. :( I made some KFC chicken, sw chips and curry sauce for tea tonight in the hope that it'll minimise the cravings tomorrow. Problem is I have 3 essays due in next week so it's...

Thanks. Lol. Just thought I'd check. :) not doing very well at managing my junk food cravings so far. :( had a snickers last night (outside of syns) and some buffet food today. Hoping the KFC chicken with chips and chip shop curry sauce will prevent a 3rd day of disasters. Lol.

Gonna have a go at the Chip shop curry sauce tonight as I have a huge junk food craving at the mo. Just wondering though, the recipe asks for Vecon stock is that just the same as any vegetable stock? A quick search tells me that Vecon used to be a syn free stock, but now they all are, does that...

I have migraines and it's horrible isn't it!! I also get vertigo from time to time and it's the same if I have a bout of that. I always just feel really groggy for about 24 hours after - kinda like I'm hungover.

Well done bunny!! That's brilliant. :)

I had a meeting in work today and we normally have our buffet from a lovely little bakery round the corner. That bakery has, unfortunately closed so we had to try a different one. It was heavy and horrible and I only had about one bite out of each of the things on my plate (sausage roll, chicken...

Oops, I've forgotten to update recently, last check I had lost 6.5lbs and now I'm down to 11lbs so can I take 3.5 off this week.

3lb off tonight taking me to 12 stone 9.5lb. :D very happy girly indeed.

Very very chuffed with my 3lb tonight. Alcohol free weekends are defo the way forward. :)

It's 0.5 syns for 5 pieces. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Sounds like you had a fab time. :) Our C always gives us an extra 20 syns for our birthday week as a 'present' from the group. Lol. It's a clever thing to do really coz it means people don't feel bad about the cake/booze/champagne breakfast. :) so by my C's logic if you had 35-40 syns you were...

Hey, welcome and good luck. As far as the drugs go, is one of the side effects increased appetite? If so, that is usually why another side affect is weight gain. If you find your appetite is increased or you're craving certain foods, do a quick search on here and you are almost certain to find...

Melon and water are brilliant for trying to recoup some kind of loss. Never a guarantee though I'm afraid. When you say bad, do you know your syns? Have you been over your weekly syns or can you jiggle things about and try and adjust the rest of the week to accommodate? The best advice though...

I've been at sw since April last year, I lost pretty much every week culminating in a stone by July. I went away in August and put on 3lb and was too scared to stay to class. From that week on I slowly put on between 0.5 and 3lb pretty much every week and was always too scared to stay to class...

I did a basal metabolic rate calculator online once and it went into detail of calories I should aim for everyday. I think we have to be careful when talking about a 'binge'. For some people a binge is an uncontrolled thing and that is never healthy but my calorie calculator worked out that I...

I'm a yo-yo dieter too so am the same as you. I ended up my biggest ever over Christmas so hardly any clothes fitted me but I was determined not to buy any bigger clothes. Them my mum said to me 'I think you'll always need to keep different sizes as you'll be up and down all the time' I'm now...

I can't drink as much as I used to at the moment. I have a theory that it's the reduced calories and fat in my system and once I reach target and up my calories to a maintenance level with extra healthy extras or whatever then I can drink like a fish again. Hahaha. My best hangover cure though...

Good luck for the morning - let us know how you get on. Xx

Ahhh, ok, sorry, am on my phone so couldn't do my research, lol, sorry. Xx Yeah, I think, as you say, maybe try all the plans and see which suits you best. I love my carbs and do EE but know that I can get a bit, shall we say, windy (tmi, lol) so do try not to eat TOO much and not on weigh...

Hey, I personally do EE every day but I know that sometimes (especially as I'm presuming you don't have much to lose) changing your diet regularly can keep the losses regular. The only thing with green is - do you eat much pasta, potatoes etc normally? This COULD have an impact BUT trust your...

I could pretty much have written this. My OH has always said that I need to lose weight (I already knew it so it was just his way of being 'supportive' haha) but when he found out I was doing slimming world (I started before we were together) he kept telling me off for eating carbs etc. he also...

It's defo relevant and as you say just a binge is a dangerous road to go down. I hope you understand that I was talking about saving a few syns to be able to have a meal out once a week or a few pints at the pub otherwise I know I wouldn't stick to this. Even before I started weekly syns I...

I'm on my phone so can't do emoticons so thought I'd just quote yours instead - does that count?? Lol.

I hope you don't think I was tetchy?? I defo wasn't. :) I think sometimes it's hard to put a point across if you feel quite strongly about it in text coz context and tone is difficult.

I know a binge is definitely not healthy and sorry if you thought that was what I meant. The op asked if it was ok to carry syns over which is different to having a binge IMO. I still use syns in the day (yesterday had 14 and today only had 5) but I try I keep some for the weekend. I also...

Tbh I think it is up to the individual. My OH likes to go for a curry every week and I asked my C about using weekly syns to get around this and she said that's fine maybe it's partly coz I know the plan quite well I don't know but my C is the kind of person that, if there was any problem, would...

I don't THINK I have the sweetener problem as I tend to have quite a lot with diet coke and yogurts and hifi bars but it's defo a point to bear in mind. I'm a bit lazy with breakfast so tend to have grab and go type things such as toast rather than cereal. Haha, lazy I know. :) but if it carries...

It wasn't strictly speaking supposed to be a food diary, I have one in the food diary sections. Just wanted some advice re: the caffeine withdrawal and whether that could be affecting my hunger/random food cravings. I knew though if I said about being hungry all the time someone would suggest I...

I hadn't thought of diet coke previously suppressing my appetite. That's a good point. I haven't been so bad today, less snacking but I was in uni so that does tend to be different. Thanks. Xx

We had a taster session the other week and a woman brought in a mousse type dessert. It was gorgeous and only 2 syns for the whole thing. She made up a sugar free jelly with half the amount of water the recipe asks for (if it asks for a pint, only use 1/2 pint) put it in the fridge until its...

Naughty naughty. Lol. I'm convinced that my scales have got it in for me - if I've been good and step on the scales it says I sts but if and if ive been off plan it says I've gained about 7lbs. Lol. I now stay well away from the scales. :)

Missed feb challenge but am gonna go for the same amount. As my C always says - if you reach for the moon you might catch a star on the way down. Haha. Cheesy but true. :) Crumble (0lbs lost - 12lbs to go) Dreamslim 8lb (0lbs ~ 8lbs to go) ellierose988 (0lbs lost - 7lbs to go) Jaq 8lbs (0lbs...

I was dreading it coz I was worried I might have put on 2lbs and left the 12's again, lol. I'm sure it is all in your head, I felt like that one week and literally convinced myself in the queue that I had not lost depsite the fact that I clearly had been 100% and when I jumped on I had lost...

I have had these dreams, I had one last night that I was in a biscuit factory and was tasting all the products, lol. When did you have your depo injection last? I find that I really struggle the 2 weeks before and week after mine. Thankfully I still know when my star week would be, my cravings...

Hahaha, well, fair enough. Lol. I just couldn't believe it when my friend said that to me, my first response was 'yeah, but if you try' and she said that the nurse had told her no and that she would just lose it anyway. I'm a bit of a nerd and did an internet search and the injection and the...

This I agree with, I'm not drinking fizzy drinks much at the mo coz I've given up caffeine and I feel so much better for drinking loads of water etc. I know that some Doctors will say that diet coke etc counts towards your 2 litres a day of water but I'm not sure I wholly agree with this, you...

Thought I'd play devils advocate :) I don't like wholemeal rice, pasta etc I just about manage wholemeal bread for the sake of slimming world. I know the others would be better for me but I find they have quite a bitty texture and I hate bits (won't go in the sea coz of seaweed, hahaha).

Sorry, I should have made it a bit clearer. Yes, initially you do tend to have a gain due to water rentention (I have the injection and gain about 3lbs every time I have it) but drinking lots of water usually helps (maybe that wasn't the case with your friend though). I meant in the long term, I...

I know how you feel, my Dad isn't bothered about losing weight but my mum keeps making him eat SW food and it was such a nightmare when I lived there as my dad would suggest a takeaway all the time, lol. He meant well enough and most of the rest of the time he would be buying up all the...

So, I've given up caffeine, this is day 7. The first 3 days I struggled with withdrawal then had 2 days where I was fine but yesterday and today I have been obsessed with food. I assume it's my body craving foods that would give me the fake energy that caffeine does (ie high sugar foods). Had...

So glad you said this as I was about to. :) Diet coke is 3 cals per 2l, 3500cals = 1lb so you would need to drink 2,332 litres of diet coke in a week to gain a pound. If anyone does that they have problems worse than the weight gain. :strikeout_button: It's the same principle as with the...

Put on half this week. Can't say it wasn't expected. Oh well, line under it and start again tomorrow. Good luck everyone.

I had a bad weekend as well - again, not illness just saturday was rugby day which involved lots (and lots) of beer then a curry then more beer then a burger. :( Not looking forward to weigh in tonight but need to draw a line under it and start again tomorrow. No rugby so therefore no beer this...

I thought they were 10 - may be over synning them though. I did, of course, eat the bunny but I made sure I took as much time as humanly possible over it. Haha.

Oops, sorry. :)

Dreading tomorrow. :( Out yesterday for the rugby and ended up drinking a bucket load and getting smashed, then having a curry and later a burger. Have absolutely no idea how many syns I had. Was 12.12 last week, hope I haven't gained 2lbs, don't wanna see a 13 on the scales again. :( Had...

No blips for me yet. Nearly did today though. Hungover and was really craving a snickers, thought I'd have one but then realised it has chocolate has caffeine in it. Lol. Funny how it's easier to say no to chocolate coz I've given up caffeine than it is to say no coz I'm on sw. Hahaha.

Good, glad its not just me. Maybe I'll have to get it then coz not sure I can cope with just doing the same 2 songs over and over. Hahaha.

I have the demo which is only 2 songs and also the demo of just dance which is only 2 songs at half length. Had a go at all and that Zumba is tiring mind isn't it??? Or maybe I'm just ridiculously unfit. Haha.

Still suffering from lack of caffeine but that means I'm still going strong. :) Well done everyone.

Haha, well, they're ummmmmm, good for a couple of quid. Haha. I never win anything so was so excited. Wanted an Xbox for ages so it was perfect. We entered the prize draw thing after being told that someone had already won the laptop. We thought it was a load of rubbish coz no one ever wins...

Had such a good day - I won an Xbox 360 in uni. Set it up and am downloading a demo of Zumba fitness which, if it's good, I may buy. I'm am so excited and ridiculously happy - I never win anything. Lol. As for sw this week I was hoping to save some syns for a bit of rugby action on sat but...

I agree. I gave up meat a few years ago for lent and accidentally had a hot dog. Didn't realise for about 3 hours. I just wrote it off and carried on. :)

Wow, you lost 8lbs in 3 weeks? That's brill. Still, it is really frustrating if you're being 100% and sts. Definitely think the food diary is the way forward, sometimes our body needs a bit of a kick-start to get the weight loss moving again so hopefully we'll be able to give you some pointers...

Firstly, 8lbs is 6 weeks is a perfectly good loss, it equates to about 1.4lbs a week which is within the healthy target of 1-2lbs. Can you post your food diary on here so we can have a look? When you say you 'keep' STS, how long have you STS?

Couldn't agree more with this, I have done slimming world many times in the past and have always given myself a 'treat' in one sense or another but have spent a lot of effort this time around trying to stop my brain from thinking of certain foods as 'treats'. I may have a chocolate bar but it's...

Day 1 no caffeine was hell, headaches have passed for now so hoping the withdrawal won't last long. Lol. I never thought I was actually addicted to caffeine but I clearly am, haven't craved tea or anything but just the headaches and grogginess. Been drinking loads of NAS squash so that's good...

Oh yeah coz you would defo have noticed the withdrawals. Had a headache and felt sick all day. This better be worth it. Lol.

Don't wanna be a negative nelly lol but I looked at green tea as a replacement and there is generally caffeine in it unless you bought the caffeine free? I'm off later to get caffeine free diet coke and caffeine free tea. Lol. Xx

Oooohhh peanut. Wow, I'm gonna be getting me some of them. Hehe.

Did a quick search and can't find anything so hopefully I'm not duplicating. My C just posted a semi-cryptic message on our fb page: 'exciting news.......new addition to the hifi family coming soon - no cheating'. Ok, so I'm cheating. Hehe. Anyone else heard about a new flavour? I love hifi's.

Well, I lost 3.5lbs this week, am incredibly chuffed and when I told the OH he told me I can have the bunny coz I deserve it (I was gonna eat it anyway but it's nice that he thinks it's his idea, haha). Lush.

3.5 off this week. Chuffed is an understatement. :)

In back again. :) after a brief 13.1 weigh in last week I weighed in at 12.12 tonight!!! Yay. That is also my half stone award. :) Now I have a tough decision to make - I normally have a day of booze for the rugby but the 2 booze free weekends I've had have resulted in huge losses. (4lb and...

After careful consideration I have decided to give up caffeine! It's gonna be a tough one but I'm sure after a few hard days I will feel the benefit of it. :gulp:

Hmmm, in previous years I have given up chocolate, biscuits, crisps, bacon (yes I'm obssessed) and meat. I dunno what to give up this year though as I have found that I'm naturally not eating much chocolate and no crisps or biscuits for AGES, maybe meat again although the other half does a lot...

The reason (I would think) that your C said not to save syns is because this can lead to you feeling deprived and end up with a binge. I use weekly syns so I start the morning after weigh-in with 105 syns and use them up between then and the next weigh in. This means that if I fancy (as I did...

It came close this morning. I was calculating my syns for the week and worked out I have 12.5 spare. Was very tempted to eat the bunny but figured I'd rather enjoy it in the evening with a cup of tea than stuff my face with it at 8am. Lol. (hope the other half isn't expecting it back, lol)

That's my aim too. I briefly got below 13 a fortnight ago then back up to 13.1 last week. :( but that was my star week so keeping my fingers crossed for this week. Had 92.5 syns all week. Woohoo.

Well, I think it was an accident. He was probably at his last night cursing himself and wishing he had a malteaster bunny. Hahaha. Update: I survived the night!!! Only 90 mins left to resist. Hehe, I can do this. :)

Don't you just hate it when it happens. You try your best all week and then ya fall over and eat 3 bars of chocolate by complete and utter accident. Hahaha.

That's the plan. It defo won't last till he next comes over - its only gonna last till tomorrow coz of weigh in. Hahaha.

I know but if I touch it the wrapper might fall off and then it may fall into my mouth. Lol. It's not his fault really coz he'll prob be at home right now thinking he could kill for a malteaster bunny. Haha. Doesn't stop me blaming him though. :D

The OH stayed here last night (as he often does on a sat) and we went to his for the day. I've just got back and I find a malteaster bunny on my chest of drawers. He must have bought one on the way home last night and left it here. So I'm now sleeping next to temptation. The only thing that's...

Definitely. When I restarted in jan I decided that there were going to be no more 'naughty' foods coz the problem has always been that'll I'll be 'naughty', feel guilty and be even 'naughtier'. Lol. So to try to change my negative psych I tried weekly syns and some days I'll naturally have less...

I don't so much as save syns but I count them weekly. It helps with things like weds when I wanted a cupcake when I was at a meeting but had already had 9 syns. Ya know, things like that.

Sorry, I didn't realise. Lol. I searched and that's how I found these threads. Sorry to have doubled up. :)

Bad news, apparently it was announced today that they are no longer syn free. :( The sweet and sour ones are apparently now 8.5 syns :( can't copy and paste what the C told me coz I'm on my phone but sweet and sour were the least syns at 8.5.

I got told today by one consultant that these are no longer low syn. I can't copy and paste what she put on fb coz I'm on my phone but I know that the sweet and sour ones are now 8.5 syns on EE and all the others are even higher. :(

Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Had 20 syns left by today so having a homemade curry. :) Hoping for a good loss tomorrow. Good luck everyone. Xx

Put on 1.5lb this week. :( still, going for it big time this week. Haha. Ailly 8lb. (1lbs gain - 6.5lb to go) Bobbles86 12lbs (7lbs lost - 3.5lbs to go) Birdmummy 10lb (5 lost - 5 to go) Butterflymad 10lb (1.5lb lost - 8.5lb to go) Clareel 4lb (0lb lost - 4lb to go) Corkscrew 10lb (3lb lost -...

I'm trying, I'm trying. :)

Put on 1.5 this week. :( mix of star week and a day out for the rugby yesterday. Makes me 13.1 again though so may have to take a leave of absence from this group for a week. :( oh well. Give me something to aim for next week.

Well done everyone who's lost so far. I put on 1.5 :( I know why though although was a bit shocked at how much but then it is my would be *week this week so hoping that's it. Back on it tomorrow and going for a perfect week maybe with a few gym sessions thrown in. :)

Well done everyone so far! I have weigh in tonight and am not hugely looking forward to it. :( International Rugby games should never be played on a Sun as it messes up everything. I usually use all my syns Fri and Sat and then have none or near enough none on a sun and mon but yesterday was...

I do weekly syns coz I like a drink and curry on the weekend. My weigh in is on a mon though so really it's a matter of lowering during the week so I can have a 'normal' weekend and not feel guilty so haven't experienced running out yet. I know though that the first 2 weeks I did it I went over...

I used this before and did not get on with it very well. When I was off plan I was visited by the 'tango man' lol but when I was on plan it didnt seem to make much of a difference. I think sw is a fairly low fat diet anyway so it doesn't have a huge impact. Saying that I'm only just in the...

I joined sw in April last year (not my first time but it was a diff group). I lost a stone then put all that back on and an extra 4lbs. All of this while still going to group. My C was really supportive even though I was gaining most weeks and only losing 1lb on weeks I did lose. When I...

I'm on my 3rd week of doing weekly syns and don't intend to go back. I like going to the pub and having a curry on the weekend so keep some syns for that. My weigh in is on a mon and I tend the first week of weekly syns I lost 1.5lbs. The next week I used most of my syns mon-fri as I knew that I...

Watching biggest loser from tues night. Is it bad that all that junk food looks so good (apart from the apple pie and cheddar cheese, yuk!) but especially the bacon double cheeseburger which was 1760 calories. Lol. Might have to make some sw 'junk' food for my tea now. Hahaha.
