I just love the me time weigh in gives me, cuppa, Hi-Fi bar and a chat. Does me the world of good talking to people who feel like I do and I have something in common with every single one of them! Go for it you've nothing to lose.....except lbs!!

I originally joined in 2008 and lost 3 stone. A bit of this has crept back on and I want to shift it, so here I am again. :)

Add a few drops of vanilla essence and some sweetner, a great alternative to cream. I love it with strawberries :)

Thank you for all your support, I actually starated on Tuesday so this is day 4 for me. I am finding it really hard today as I am at home and going away with the family for the weekend. Just wondering if I should start after xmas now and be really careful untill then.

I cant see why a steady paced walk would be bad for you, but if you wanted to do an hours aerobics now thats a bit too energetic!!

Not sure really, I would just like to have Christmas dinner with my family. I am thinking that maybe I could just stick to it except for that one meal, what do you think? Because I am new I could do with thte help really and what other people have done in the past with nights out, dinner with...

Good luck with your weigh in! I just ordered my first week and it will be here on tuesday i think i might really struggle on my 1st week with the carb withdrawal but i have go tto do something!

I have looked over some of the threads over the last couple of days to try to decide if LT will be right for me. I have to say you are all so positive and so supportive. I know my hubby will not like me doing LT but I feel I need too. What I am worried about is starting so close to Christmas...

Been reading up about LT and thinking about giving it go. I have lost nearly 3 stone on slimming world but put half back on again. Tried a few imes to restart but my heads just no in it this time. I thought if i was to stop food all together it may help me get back on track. A fews years ago...

I was going to say about the GP too. You have to meet certain BMI and waist measurements to get them but if you can it does help!

Oh dear what have i done sorry!!!

I have found some better photos, but not sure how to post them.

No, don't! I have just done that and don't feel any better for it at all! I have put on half a stone and didn't actually enjoy it. It just made me feel guilty and depressed then i was stuck in a downwards spiral :( It has taken me ages to get me head back in the right place to start...

Thanks Taz, I would like to get to target so need to lose 2 stone!

Hi Taz, i wasn't in the last challenges but wondered if i can join you, think it would really help me to focus in 2009. What is your challenge then?

Hey well done Klairbear, i think you have done the hardest bit by deciding you have to do something! Groups are great for motivation tips and ideas. I joined SW in January, then i had a few months off and just joined back last tuesday. Even second time round for me was a bit scary but well worth...

Scan bran is a high fibre crispbread. If you eat it on it's own it taste like carpet tiles! You can buy from group or Holland and Barrett. The cake is low syns and you can eat the whole thing too. Will find the recipe and post it here for you.

i love the SW ferro Roche they are lovely and low syn too! I also do a cake, well not quite a cake but its nice and you can eat the whole thing! I order mine off the internet from a company called vit-shop.co.uk and it's £1.05 per pack

mmmm, i love gypsy bread as i call it! I top mine with berrys and a muller scrummy!

I agree with the other comments, i think your menus are great! I would have more fruit this may help with the bunged up situation too HEHE!! Or you could swap a HB round so rather than having toast for breakfast have prunes, raisins, tinned fruit or even a cereal bar. I think having a variety...

You will need more than just a bit of information tbh! You can buy the food opt books from Ebay but you have to be strong willed! I can't do it by myself I have to go to weigh-ins. Red days - basically you eat lean meats and weigh your potatoes and pasta, green day - you eat potatoes pasta...

Just watched one of Jamie Oliver's old programmes and he done a lovely starter.It was smoked salmon with cucumber strips, then he drizzled over a creme fraiche with lemon zest and juice mixed in with it. I think there was chopped chives too! It looked lovely and made my mouth water, i will defo...

Yes, as long as you use your milk from your allowance and sweetner it's free!

I have just had a look online and it's 1/2 syn per level tsp, hope that helps :)

I get bunged up to so i make myself a Scan Bran cake.......mmmm yummy!!!

Aww thanks guys, I do remember some of the names on here! Well, here's to a slim Crimbo and a waferthin New year!! Good luck all of you in hitting your targets, I look forward to chatting with you. :)

That didn't work......hang on

Hi guys, I have had a look around and there are a lot of new names since I was on here last. I started SW in January this year and managed to lose 2 and half stone in the first 4 months. I then became a bit to complacent with it all and fell off the wagon! My hubby has been working away for...

Sm1d, i struggled with it last week and decided to try and get back to basics with the normal SW plan. This week i am trying success Express and finding it differcult to get my head round really. I have messed it up today but still stuck to a green day and my syns have been low too. Oh well...

1 Day down, i managed it ok yesterday, quite differcult to get your head round once you have been doing the red and orignal for so long though. I did find that i was more hungry as you only have a 3rd of the plate with free food and the rest is superfree.

Vicky, that's fab, well done. What's the secret?

Oh yeah, i never go to the seaside without having a bag of candyfloss. A bag has normally got 2 sticks worth so only 6 syns, great!!!!

I need to keep on track and i hope that posting a food and exercise diary will help me. I am startinh this week with Success Express to try and give me a boost. I think my other problem is I am now not planning my days meals or writing down my syns i have eaten. So, i will forget what i have...

I am not very happy!! I have been really good this week except for one day when i had a little peice of birthday cake, and i have put on another 0.5lb. I am gutted!! My consuktant hasn't been very helpful, so I have taken it on myself to try success express. I don't think i am quite ready still...

No, i messed it all up on the first day. I wasn't in the right frame of mind for it really. Stuck to normal plan apart from saturday, so wil start ff on Thursday after Weigh-In on Wednesday night!!

Well, i knew i wasn't really in the right frame of mind to be starting something like this!! I failed yesterday and ate loads that i shouldn't have. Perhaps i will just get back to the normal plan, then go for FF on Thursday after WI.

I have started half way through a week but there was nothing i could do about that and I don't want to leave starting it till my next weigh-in really. So here is my menu for today. Break - 2 weetabix, 200ml skimmed milk and half a grapefruit. Lunch - Feta cheese, mixed salad leaves, 8 cherry...

I know Son and SM1D have both had great success doing this, I got a copy of the booklet with the unit values in from Ebay. I will follow a 21 unit day and see how I do. I am just so desperate to get back on track and need a real boost to keep going. I only lost 1lb in the whole of April and...

I think it really depends on you. I can't save up my syns for a blow out at the weekend i just don't shift the weight that way! Everyones different!!

My SWC says you can't carry anything over, healthy Xs or syns! The amounts are there to give you the correct things for each day. (calcium and fibre)

Up to you, i counted yesterdays WI in this May challenge only because my April was so bad. Saying that it's not a great start to May is it?!!!!!!

hello

Munched my way through a load of snack a jacks and some of the kids chocolate today. I think it is because i tired and just need sugar sugar sugar!! Not going to do much for my WI on Wednesday night though is it? I just seemed to have lost the plot completely and keep having these lapses...

Bump....before it gets lost!

Ruthy, that's really sh*te, sorry to hear about the job! I am a HCA and have a mild latex allery, i can't weqr the gloves and can't use the pumps on a blood pressure cuff either. To be honest i have never had latex on my face or lips so i don't know just how sensitive i am. I went to the docs...

I just received my Fast Forward plan from Ebay, was wondering about the units thing. In it, it says have a minimum of 18 but the lady that sold it said her consultant told everyone who tried it to have 21 units. For the few people that have done it with a SWC would you mind saying how much you...

I agree with them above.... your HA would have probably covered most of the milk and don't get to stressed out by it, remember flexi syns!! It was actually a really good day (food wise) considering you were out. A couple of lattes are not going to do any damage as long as you are straight back...

How do you do your chick peas?

Rolo, it's completly up to you i will count my next weeks weigh in (30th April) in my May challenge just to help me out a bit. I can then focus on it and not throw away another week on cr*p foods and not following the plan.

Great Taz and Good Luck for May!! How much would you like to pledge?

I have had a bad April so far. I feel that I have failed with the challenges and that gets me down, very down!! So I have changed my ticker to My May Challenge, if anyone has had a bad April too and wants to put it right, you are welcome to join me. I will start from today, which gives us 5...

Hey Ruthy, you have really motivated me over the last couple of months, so get your thumb out of your Ar*e and get back on it girlie!!! When I needed to be kicked in to touch, you were there (thanks) so no more sulking about how bad you have been, forget it, move on a start again, got it...

Didn't like the recipe using a mullerlight, but i did add milk too it toooooo! Maybe that is were i went wrong!

Ta guys, i made the one with mullerlight but added some milk to it (Hx A) it was ok but not like REAL rice pud. Might try it again and not worry tooo much about syns, least then it might taste like its supposed to hey! :)

found it!!! http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/40154-custard.html#post600020

Bump.....found it!!

Ta Ruthy, no reason why i am "craving" either!! Someone posted a recipe using a vanilla mullerlight and i can't find it now :(

Has anyone got the Rice pudding recipe please? I don't mind if it's no or low syns. I got some pudding rice and now craving it!!!:D

Good luck fingers crossed!!

Ebay are REALLY expensive some food opt packs selling for £30!!

Hi kitteh, had a really naughty couple of weeks this month as it was my birthday and hubby came home after working away for 2 1/2 months. Back on track now, lost 1 1/2 lb at weigh in tonight so am really pleased!! I am no way going to hit my target this month, so i have extended mine till the...

I asked a seller too and they said no matter weight and height you have 22 units per day! Little liar!!

Hopton, near to Great Yarmouth. It's not far from home but far enough to feel like a holiday! A fab place for kids!!

I haven't actually made it yet, but assume is cooks in the milk in the oven.

Pudding Rice It is on the shelves above the freezers in my Tesco with the jelly and custards, it looks like this and costs 58p, the recipe on the back says to use 1 pint of milk but you could use a mullerlight as suggested or 2 HA of skimmed milk. Dont add the butter and replace sugar with...

Yep i agree my food opt book says the same! But i love them cubed with red onion and butternut squash sprayed with frylight and roasted.....yummy!!

Good idea, do you mean have a sticky for low syn ready meals?

Thanks Girlies! We went away to a Haven site, my friend rented us her huge caravan so sticking to it wasn't tooooo hard as i did all the cooking. I had a really terrible couple of weeks earlier this month so was really determined to stick with it. Thank you for your "Welcome Backs" and...

Well done Son!! Fab loss, i have maintained for 3 weeks now so might give it a go. What did you eat on days 5, 6 and 7?

Hi guys, hope you have all had a good week. Missed you all to chat too. Any good ideas or new threads to read? My hols were fab, feel like my family is back together again. Won't be long till we all start fighting (hehehe). I haven't weighed in this week but have stuck to the plan 100% so...

Not really very exciting just copied and paste from the SW website!

To late Ruthy already done it!! Ssshhhhhh don't tell anyone though :)

I dont think it would be cheating at all, in fact i think it's a very healthy eating plan and will help you. Good luck with the op and keep posting to let us know how you do! :)

Water!! hehehehe :)

Ellllooooo!!! I have my hubby back now, it's great. Had a marathon weekend to actually pick him up then this week it's been back to school for the kids. I am off on a weeks hols tomorrow so won't be about for a while, hope you are all ok and doing really well. Keep it up girlies!! Speak to...

Good Luck Ruthy!!

I am cr*p at this!

STS again, but i don't mind as i had a week off as it was my birthday!

Well done!!!!

ellloooo!! :)

I read about Body Magic in the start up pack, but has NEVER been mentioned at group. What are the awards then?

Anyone coming in there tonight?

Thanks for your help earlier Irene :)

i have just picked all day! B - 2 x Alpen lights L - Didn't have anything D - Chips! Snacked on homemade crisps, meringue nest and fruit Not a very good day really but stressed out!

Hey well done Catitio! Fab:) What diet are you doing?

aawww thanks Kat :)

I have the Alpen lights, they are really nice.

I sts this week, don't mind as i has a BAD week!

Thanks for rep Ruthy

This is the trouble, if you weigh at home and it says you have gained or maintained you feel disappointed. For me then this can lead to a binge!

Thank yoouuuuu! Ruthy my b'day was yesterday, Skinny i am doing Kitteh's April but you could add me to yours too if you like. I have plegded 14lbs (think i am pushing it a bit though). Hubbys flight has been delayed by 24 hours, so wont see him till sunday now :( And yes i will tell you his...

yeeaaahhhh! Well done:)

Just wanted to say thanks to all that gave me a kick earlier in the week. I did have a bad week and I prepared myself for my weigh in yesterday. I maintained! So pleased that i didn't put on, so thank you guys! And thanks to everyone that sent me Happy Birthday messages too!:party0011:

Every morning, with no clothes on, after a wee and before breakfast! How sad am i? I just can't help myself. I even do it before SW weigh in so i know how much difference there is between my scales and theirs. (1/2 lb)

i love the choclate ones....i don't buy them though because i can't just have one and end up eating the whole packet! Oink!!

Off the SW website

Some do some don't. Veggies just follow green and lose weight still! It is down to you which day to follow. I hate messing about first thing in the morning so i have 2 weetabix with sliced banana on the top. Which is 1 HB and HA for my milk :)

You can fry anything as long as you do not add fats. Use frylight instead! I found that to do eggs you need a good nonstick pan though :)

Just bumping this thread! Any ideas when this is happening? My SWC mentioned it last week, sounds like a great idea!

Try this thread it has some ideas http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/31304-ready-meals.html#post496913

So....size does count! I was told, by a nutritionalist, that whatever fruit or veg it is a portion is the amount you can fit in you hand! So it varies from person to person and the size of them! Makes sense really, but i couldn't get 10 strawberries in my hand! My mouth maybe, hehe :)

I am a bit stuck with the sex thingy untill hubby is home. :(

He he! Ta Ruthy!! :)

You could just use Flexi syns! The night of the party or if you go out, just set yourself a high syn number then stick to that, the next day start again as normal with your 15 syns etc. :) This has worked for me, with a loss at the next weigh in.

I got mine from The Sausage Shop and paid about £5 for 16, pork ones were 1/2 a syn for 2 sausages and pork and leek were 1 syn for 2 sausages. Might try these morrisons ones though. I do like my red days! Just a long way from where i live....wish they delivered! :)

What were your syn free sausages like from your online order Ruthy? Are they worth the money? I tried some from the Sausage Shop (low syn ones) and they are lovely, but wondered if worth trying the ones you got.

I have had a really bad week and i am worried about my WI in Thursday.

Sounds stupid now i have actually written it down but in the past when i have maintained...

Ruthy 50g 12 syns!

It is up to you, my SWC says not to, but others do with no impact on their loss. I have found that I can't the times i have done i only lost 1/2 lb that week.

ahh, found it in my book. Dessert, instant powder, 28g dry 7.0, made with skimmed milk 1 level tbsp 0.5 or 100g 4.0

SW web site seems to be down at the mo so cant check Angel Delight yet

Funkykat, Scan Bran is a very high fibre crispbread. I personally don't like it by itself like eating carpet tiles. But you can make some nice stuff with it. Get it at your group or Holland and Barrett. It's about £1 a packet and has 8 in.....i think!

I agree with Ruthy, if a chicken one is 5.5 your veggies are free, it would probably be the same syns or a bit less maybe. There is no way it's over 15 syns!

Good luck with your journey and hop on here every day! There is some great advice, recipes and info and if you are lucky you will get some abuse from Ruthy too. (only joking) LOL!! Let us know how you do and shout if you want some help! :)

Sorry guys let you all down again! I worked out hard....eating a packet of crisps!

I need to explain a bit more i think! The pools do open in the day, adult swim is at about 7am and then at 6pm. I was hoping i could go while my son was at preschool, 9am -12 ish, but all the schools swim at these times. I could do it in the evenings, but thought i would be better at sticking...

p*ss my self laughing!

I thought i would be good and go swimming in the mornings when the kids go back to school. But no where is open for public swimming in the week. How stupid is that?!

I use baby new pots and I find a HB serving is about 4 or 5 smaller ones! A proper portion size really!

I think some are own brands are 1/2 a syn, but that is for the whole pack....will find out which ones and post later.

Ruthy i have really slacked this last week, naughty i know! I am just exhausted in the evenings with the kids being on school hols! Roll on the 8th April when they go back! (Oh god it's another week away!) Need to get my arse in gear and get back on it!

Ta Ruthy & everyone else who sent me 1!

Hi guys, I love SW! I have tried a lot of different plans and find this one suits me. I am never hungry and don't feel i am missing out on the things i like to eat. In the 12 weeks i have been doing SW i have lost 30lb! I agree with Annette thr trial is a good way to see if it if for you...

Hi, only half a lb off this week. Kinda expected tho, seems to be every 4 weeks i only have a little lose!

Find these on the web hope they help Smoothies range in calorie density from around 42 to an amazing 300 kcal per 100g, depending on how much sugar and fat is put in them. Making a smoothie disrupts all of the satiety-promoting fibre contained in the fruit. Satiety describes the lasting...

:) well done!

I did lost 1.5 on my first week and felt a bit gutted because i had been really good but over the next 3 weeks i lost 14lb! Stick with it, it will work! :)

I only normally have 1 A but both B's. Unless i have cheese on my omlette or feta in my greek salad or mozerella melted under the grill on top of my jacket spuds! :) Made myself hungry now!

i like shredded wheat bitesize or weetabix and i slice a banana on top. Or i buy the frozen fruits from tesco only £2ish and last for ages. I like their raspberries and summer fruits yummy!

OMG loadsa peeps doing the challenge! Good luck to everyone and to kitteh to try and keep on top of it all ha ha! My WI in the morning! I have eaten loads today, bad day with my son! So fingers crossed.

Martlesham heath!

I have had facial hair for a fews years and still pushing for PCOS diagnosis. I have had the laser treatment on my bikini line and on my belly button downwards! It was ok to start with, completed the course of treatments but over the last year or so it's all grown back! It's not as thick but...

Now that is real Suffolk talk, boy! There seems to be a few meets happening but for me it would be so differcult as i have the hubby that works away and 2 kiddies! Would anyone be interested in meeting up locally? Nothing to exciting, just a coffee maybe?

Good luck will be thinking of you, let us know how you do!

Well done hun on your loss, fantastic. At my group SOW gets what ever others put in the bowl. It is mostly fruit but sometimes the odd cauliflower or onion lol! I have also 4 stone in total to lose, break it down at set some mini goals for yourself. I find it makes it more realistic for me and...

God 7lb thats fab, well done doubleD :) Mind you don't disappear lol!

I didn't do my LTT last night was shattered after conversation in chat room here! LOL! Chased the kids about in the forest on an Easter egg hunt today for 2 hours, does that count? Now going to do my Vicky Binns Dance dvd! See ya later! :)

Congrats on the wedding! I have weigh in on thursday mornings so thurs fri sat are normally green days for me then i switch to red days. I don't lose as much if i do more than 3 green days a week and if they are close to weigh in day. I love the little recipe books you can get from class, they...

I have done really well and am just loving it! I have been going 11 weeks now and half way there! :) Are you back? How are you finding it?

Yep! Marks & Spencer Honey Roast Salmon Flakes, chilled 135g pack Original Free Green 13 Syns

Just filing through threads and read this one! Sorry to gate crash, my sister had really bad eczema when she was little, my Mum cut out cows milk. She used goats milk and cheese instead which helped and hers cleared up! I get it in my ears too but is down to the shampoo i use.....completely...

it was last nite, i had trouble keeping up with everyone! :)

Salt and sometimes garlic salt

I got mine on ebay a bit cheaper too. Found one on there at the moment Microwave Crisp Maker.,new in sealed packet on eBay, also Microwaveable, Cookware, Kitchen, Home Garden (end time 28-Mar-08 20:00:00 GMT) hope the link works :)

I had noticed it but the few times i went in i was all by myself.....Ahhhhhhh! :)

yeah they are free on green, i leave then skin on mine and have them as a HB on a red day too! The first lot i did were horrible, i didn't cut them thin enough or cook them long enough. I have it perfect now and i love them! I do like Golden Wonder lights too and only 4.5 syns a bag! :)

I like Quorn mince if it's with a sauce, like spag Bol or chilli. I buy it in a bag and frozen but still expensive! The apple sausages are nice too I don't like the Quorn pieces, yuk! Tesco do a meat free range but none of it is free! They do burgers sausages and mince.

I did my LTT last night, just very late! But did 25 minutes as i did have a little bit of my sons easter egg!

Ruthy for a real sugar fix try a meringue nest! Really sweet and only 3 syns each. I love it with Stawberries and vanilla muller light.

Well done on your loss so far! Welocme to the forum it's so helpful having such support and motivation. They are a great bunch! Need any help just shout! Good Luck with your new job too :)

Well done Rachel L and everyone else on their losses! Good luck on the new April challenge :)

Good luck on your journey, keep popping in for motivation. They are a great bunch on here and will keep you on track. Let us know how you are doing! :)

I did my LTT for 20 minutes with the resistance cords too lol! What have i let myself in for, god i am going to ache in the morning!

I would love one....just haven't got the room!

28g of cereal is never enough for me either! I have 2 weetabix with sliced banana on top yummy :)

Hi kitteh, thanks for the pm of course i will be joining you! I think i will push my luck a bit and go for another 14lb! Good luck everyone.

In the past when i have done exercise it's the inch loss aswel as lbs that i notice. So i will record my inch loss at the end too :)

Will do 15 minutes on my Lateral Thigh Trainer EVERY day!

I really struggle to do sit ups, i hurt my back last year and i don't want to do it again! I have got a yoga dvd and they do them backwards on there! I find it a lot easier with no neck or back strain! You can make them easy or harder as you progress too. Sit on the floor with knees raised and...

I just got Vicky Binns (Molly from Corrie) Dance it Off, I love it! Good fun, good routines and keeps me interested. I am looking forward to doing it again tonight! :)

I did LL for a while and i was told the same thing (to use sweetner tablets) powder has something extra in it which doesn't help with weight loss. Found this on SW site hope it helps (sorry to gatecrash) Artificial sweeteners There are two categories of artificial sweetener, the first, known...

Now i have lost weight i still see myself as "fluffy"! I have just got in to a size 14 jeans but still can't get my head round it.

i got my crisp maker yesterday and had them as a HB (left the skins on). I am on a green day today and have made some to munch later when the kids are in bed! They are a bit morish though :)

Yeh i done it!! 3lb off this week woooooooo :)

I miss loads but it's worth the sacrifices. When you get to target then we can start enjoying all these again in moderation!! It helps me to think that (i read it somewhere...might have been on here) every lb lost is the same as 2 packs of butter! So I have lost 54 packs!!! Can you imagine all...

well done :)

Just used my new crisp maker! I think i cut the slices to thick because thay took about 10 mins to crisp up! I can see why they are "diet" crisps.....i couldn't get them out of the rack!! Great idea though and the ones i did actually eat were lovely, well worth the money! :)

Now i am confused, online it says 2.5 per slice in new food opt book it says....ah i was wrong...sorry, but it does say - wholemeal small size, 400g loaf 3 syns? O i don't know.....HELP!!

2 slices of wholemeal nimble are 7 syns so you probably double it for doorstop wedges or 1 HB and 7 syns? :0) Or just use your Flexi Syns!

I take it the choc options didn't work?!

Roy Orbison - Penny Arcade!

LMAO! Ruthy you do cheer me up!! :)

yeah will do ruthy, def didn't like last nights, threw it out this morning.

I think the same really i don't think digi or dial really matters (i have digi, but only because it had 1/4 lb increments on it), but i think what does matter is that it is the same scales, same day of the week and same time of the day. Then you will get a more accurate check on your losses...

i love mushed tatts with little milk then i add HA of cheese, leeks and HB bacon or ham (if i have it spare, which i normally do on a green day) then i spread it in a pyrex dish and grill it till it's crispy on top! I find it's a real comfort food and filling too.

I try and walk more now, school runs and that, but i do notice if i haven't walked i get grumpy!

Too late i have already looked at them ha ha ha!!! :) I tried to do that pyriamid thing last time i was drunk.....didn't work!

Have sent you a message, ta!

They should come up in the box at the top of the screen, where you can change your mood etc. But it wont let me do it!

Thank you Fourteen! But it won't let me pm you!

I am going through tests and referal to gyne at the moment, everything seems to point to pcos but the docs not sure as i had no probs getting pregnant, twice! I have had bloods to check my testosterone levels, but they come back ok? It all started after having my 2nd baby really. But i have...

I thought about adding choc options to cake mix and orange in with the quark, IF i do it again i will add more sweetner but it did seem alot when i weighed it out though! Oh well think i will stick to the scan bran cake!

Just made the chickpea cake with vanilla and i can taste the chickpeas, although it's quite nice lol :)

Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I had a border-line abnormal smear and the GPs recalled me for a 2nd, which also came back abnormal. I was sent to Gyne and was really worried about it all. The consultant i saw was fantastic explained everything that was going on, what will happen...
