I got peckish so had a teacake! Just over 1200 calories today, very happy :)

For the first time ever I'm finding it difficult to have enough calories today! Am on 1104 but I've heard having less than 1200 a day can be very detrimental to your health so am I ok to stop here or should I try and eat that extra 96 cals?

I popped into M&S today to see what goodies I could find and found they now have a new low calorie snack range called 'Guilt Free Snacking'! I picked up a few things to try; everything is between around 100 - 150 calories I believe and they have some lovely things. I got some mini jaffa cakes...

I'm going out tonight but I've allowed the calories for 5 Malibus and with what I've eaten today it comes in at 1549 which isn't bad! I think I'll stick to this as I'm determined to do well the rest of the week :)

Ahh I wasn't feeling too well last night and ended up having a bit of a chocolate binge! :( no point dwelling on it though, just have to be good today :) x

I'll have to try the sweet chilli, that sounds really nice! I mainly track what I eat on MFP but I might start keeping a diary too :) I've had 1509 calories today so not too bad! x

I consumed 1520 yesterday which I thought was good, would have been less than that but my blood sugar dropped late at night (I'm diabetic) but that can't be helped! Have found keeping myself busy stops me from binging and craving various foods so have been trying to do that too :) discovered...

Thank you :) my gym membership starts Monday and I've a class booked Tuesday so I'll try and weigh the same time each week as well! Good luck with your weight loss too x

They sound amazing! Definitely going to check these out when I pass Tesco tomorrow :)

She is definitely an inspiration, and is the reason I decided to calorie count again! Young girls wanting to lose weight should look up to her instead of those celebs who lose silly amounts of weight in such a short time!

Hi guys, I've recently started properly calorie counting again (if I'm really honest, it was this morning!) and I thought this would be a good way to keep myself motivated. I'm 197 lbs at the moment and hoping to get down to 133 lbs but I don't have any way of weighing in at uni so that'll have...

I had this for dinner tonight and it was lovely! I used linguine and ham instead of spaghetti and turkey but still gorgeous :)

Thank you for all your messages! :) I came back to uni on Saturday and I've been a bit rubbish since then, not as bad as I once was but not sticking to my calories! I've made a meal plan for the week though and plan to stick to it and hopefully I will! I am also on MFP, my username is...

Hello! I'm Helen and I'm new to the calorie counting forum.. I've been on MiniMins a little while as I was attempting Slimming World last year having lost a stone and a half on it back in 2008 but it's just not a suitable diet for my student lifestyle. I tried calorie counting over the Summer of...

Mine is Icy Baber, how 'somerset' haha!

Lighter than light is only 1/2 syn per tablespoon :)

Chicken pasta bake, yum!

Ah thank you so much! Good luck as well :)

My first weigh in today and I stayed the same.. bit upset but I did have a major slip up one day and it was TOTM this week so hopefully I'll get a good loss next week instead :) Can anyone recommend any good scales as ours are rubbish and can never make their mind up?

I stayed the same this week but can't really say I'm surprised - I had a really bad slip up one day and also my body isn't used to the exercise. Going to try extra hard this week and hopefully lose a couple of pounds by this time next week :) Also going to try and buy some new scales as ours are...

I had a sweet potato melt - baked sweet potato topped with onion chutney and cheese, yummy!

Sorry I didn't mean it as in I'll post my ebay link! I meant that if anyone was after anything in particular in sizes 14/ 16 then I could see if I had that in my pile and send it to them rather than eBay it :) Sorry for the confusion x

Thank you, best wishes for yours too! Weigh in in the morning - fingers crossed I've lost xxx

I loooove the third one but the second one is beautiful too!

There's a place in Coventry that does special fish parties, where you get 30 minutes on your feet and 15 on your hands all for £16 and you get free champagne too :) I went with 7 friends for my birthday and it was brill! Makes your skin so soft. The place we went makes sure the water is...

I had a really awful day yesterday... the lunch I had packed for work tasted horrible so I had to do the best I could and popped to Boots for a sandwich which turned out to be 20 syns! Needless to say I had a bit of a flexi day, especially when I had a terrible chocolate craving when I got home...

I had fishcakes with slimming world chips and peas :) yummy!

Ah glad you like them! No problem :)

Very pleased with how I did today :) Green day so lots of noodles and potatoes! Managed to get down to 10 1/2 syns which I'm happy with but I had difficulty deciding on my healthy extras so think I need to get some more choice in. I didn't do any exercise today as I ache so badly from yesterday...

I had this for dinner tonight and it was sooo yummy! Thank you for this :)

ah ok that's still good though :) yes I'm from just outside Bath

Did you find losing weight helped your conditions slickers?

I had a pretty good day on plan yesterday but I'm trying to reduce my syn intake. I usually have about 12 syns but I want to try having about 8 a day as I remember when I did SW a couple of years ago I tended to not lose so much if I had more than 8 or 9 syns. Hopefully I'll be able to sort that...

Cheese and potato pie! Yum :)

Thank you so much for this! I forgot to eat breakfast this morning so going to go and make myself some filling pasta :)

Wow, that is good! I can only hope I improve my diabetes through it. I also have an underactive thyroid - when I did SW when I was 16 I was barely losing 1/2lb a week and that's when my underactive thyroid got diagnosed. I hope you get it all sorted though!

I apologise if there is already a thread about this but I wondered if there were any other diabetics out there on the SW plan at the moment? Thought it would be good to have a thread where those with diabetes could talk about the condition alongside with the following of the plan :) I've been...

Ah thank you! :)

Is sweetcorn free on a red day? It's just supersweet sweetcorn from the freezer :) Thank you x

Sorry if it's already been answered but how do you make syn free pancakes?

If you've increased your exercise and therefore increased your water consumption it could have caused a gain especially if it's a lot more liquid than your body's used to.

I'm exactly 14 stone so 14lb to go to 13 stone! Hope it goes quickly :)

Let me know how you get on with the M&S sausages!

They were £1.99 so not the best price but not the worst either! Ooh the Morrisons ones sound good, but there's no Morrisons near me :(

The sausages are lovely I have to say! Will definitely be repurchasing :)

Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I've got piles of clothes in those sizes waiting to go on eBay but would be happy to send them your way :)

Happy birthday! :) I'm having a chicken sandwich using the bread as my HEXB :) going to try some low fat pork sausages from M&S as well, yum!

Hello everyone, I attempted to start the SW plan last week but I had a really mad week and completely went off plan so I've decided to restart officially as of today! I did SW a few years back but put all the weight back on when I went to sixth form and then some more when I went to uni so...

Going to have some for dinner tonight so I'll let you know how they taste! I have high hopes though :) Thanks for the help!

If you're craving a coffee frappe or frappucino then I've found a recipe that's completely free! Mix 2 teaspoons of instant coffee and sweetener to taste (I add loads but I've got a really sweet tooth) with 3 - 4 tablespoons of cold water until it becomes a thick foam. Then you pour the mix...

The sausage bean and cheese melts are a staple for me at uni so this is fab, thank you!!

M&S sausages Would anyone be able to tell me the syn value of M&S British 8 reduced fat butchers classic pork sausages please? Per sausage is 75 kcals 8.7g protein 1.9g carbs 3.6g fat 1.2g fibre Thank you! :) x

Hey everyone :) I'm Helen and I'm 19. I'm starting Slimming World today in an effort to lose some weight! I did SW before, between the ages of 15 and 16 and lost 1.5 stone but since then I've put it all back on and I'm back to the same weight I was when I first joined SW. Unfortunately I am...
