    It's Happening Again

    To cut a long story short, I had an eating disorder a few years ago. I was 6.5 stone. Anyway, every time I go on a diet or plan, for some stupid reason I decide it is better not to eat at all, rather than weigh food or count points. (have done WW quite a few times in the past and the same...

    Sorry, me again, Is This Right?

    Oh right, it says in my book choose onnce from 'a' helathy extras and twice from 'b' healthy extras. My book is the yellow one, think it's quite old?

    Sorry, me again, Is This Right?

    Thanks for your replies. Oh dear, I didn't realise I had used up my healthy extras. I really must try and get the hang of this a bit better.

    SW - Confusing

    Looking through the book, I seem to eat the green day food anyway, as I don't eat much meat at all. Maybe I should just carry on with what I eat anyway and stop giving myself a headache:p

    Todays SW Food-Is This Right?

    I can't find in the book anything about Jacobs Choice Grain crackers, so would they be a syn? So far I have had 4 crackers with Philadelphia cheese, so the cheese is healthy extra, and dinner is shepherds pie with Quorn, so the peas are free, carrots free, Quorn free and mashed potato free. Is...

    Bread - tummy gone down

    I read on here, I think it was on here somewhere:D about cutting out bread and alternatives to bread, anyway, I have thought for a long time bread bloats me, so since Friday I haven't had any bread at all. And my tummy has gone down loads. It's not flat but then again I don't look 6 months...

    Help Green or Red days?

    This SW is quite hard to get my head round,lol:D Thing is, I only eat chicken now and again, but do eat fish and Quorn things. I don't eat any red meat at all. So would I be better just having green days, but then it's all carbs, so I wouldn't lose weight or would I? Sorry, I am really...

    UnLimited Pasta/Potatoes

    Surely this can't be right? Eat as much as you like of pasta and spuds? How can that be right, surely it's all carbs in spuds and pasta and you would put weight on? I am confused:confused:
  138. CoCo

    What do we think of Quorn?

    Love Quorn. I make shepherds pie with the 'mince' although hubby won't eat Quorn, he likes his meat so I make 2 shepherds pies, one Quorn, one meat. Also have the sausages, chicken nuggets, chicken pieces.

    I have started a new part time job, I am out of the house 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. I walk to work and back so the minute I step out the door the 2 hours of non stop being on my feet starts. To be honest I don't stop all day, what with work and running the house, looking after 2 kids etc...

    Bloating/Upset Tum

    I have been on Ultra Slim (Tesco's version of SlimFast) since Tuesday, and today I have a bloated tummy, terrible gurgling and diarrhoea. Could it be the Ultra Slim, I had the same symptoms when I was doing the proper SlimFast. Also, can I mix it with water or does it have to be skimmed milk...
  149. CoCo

    Anyone on Slimfast?

    Well, I am really pleased, I have weighed myself and since Monday have lost 3lb!! I weighed a bag of sugar as well just to make sure the scales are accurate:clap: But today I have got really bad diarrhoea:sick0019:, hope it's not the Ultra Slim.

    Is This True?

    Hi, not sure if it's on the website. I went in Tesco's to get Slimfast and saw the Tesco's own Ultra Slim. It's the same as Slimfast, replace 2 meals with a shake, but reading the box properly it doesn't say have snacks it says to have another shake as a snack, so it is a bit different to SF...
  151. CoCo

    Is This True?

    Thanks for your replies. On the Tesco version of Slimfast you have 2 shakes a day and a usual meal, so it's the same as SF, just tastes better than SF,lol!
  152. CoCo

    Is This True?

    I have told a few friends that I am on a meal repalcement (Tesco's version of SlimFast) and they say that because it is a very low calorie diet, my body will go into a starvation mode and then everything I eat or drink will be coverted to fat?! But surely if that was the case, everyone who is...

    Anyone on Slimfast?

    I am doing (from today)Tesco's own brand of meal replacement, Ultra Slim. The chocolate one is lovely, better than SlimFast chocolate. I did SF before, but got constipated and had stomach cramps, but hat could have been down to doing one diet one week then something different the next so my...
