Hello All! What a glorious daaaay! I have been on another training course today in Leeds (with a buffet argh!) and got to walk back from the station to work in the sun and it was lovely. I am very sad to be sat back in the office now :( I am so lame at updating my diary on here... here...

Scratch the lunch of Subway salad.. I had a jacket potato with beans and cheese (HEA) which was delicious! I had a smidge of ketchup with it as well so it's 2 syns instead of 4.5. Yey! xx

Thank you hun, I really appreciate it. I'll snap out of it and find that willpower again soon I'm sure :) The fact that I've eaten 2 BK's doesn't stop me wanting another one though, I could deffos eat one right now haha! xx

Hey y'all. Yesterday was an epic fail in all areas really, apart from breakfast! I am mad at myself for giving in again and going off plan. I found it really difficult yesterday, I travelled to London to hold some HR drop-in sessions with managers and we had a jam-packed day. We were...

Glad you liked the photos, I'm going to upload more as soon as I get chance, maybe some more pre-SW ones to embarass myself further... I do absolutely love that pic of us with those on our heads, it makes me laugh everytime. And it was the night before you got engaged!! I might have to...

Hahaha looking hawt!! I like it. Hope you have fun body boarding! Well done on losing an lb as well, that's brill. You'll be in the 10's in no time! I had a bit of a terrible day again yesterday and just can't seem to get into the mindset of SW again, need to try try try but it's not...

Hello lovely! Just done your survey, I will try and get some men to do it as well :) Hope you are well, I need to look into this Green/Red day thing as I've always stuck to Extra Easy and I realise I could deffos be having more Healthy Extras some days... which is always a good thing! mmm...

Haha thanks! I will try and be good but we'll see. Can't believe I'm still on here but have been uploading a few photos so everyone can have a gander. I seriously am knackered now so am going to bed! Night all! xxx

Stuck to plan today so it's 9.5 syns for Tuesday! Lol - I won't be having a buffet sadly (or is that a good thing??) as its an internal work thing and as I work for the Civil Service we're no longer allowed buffets and nice things, so I'll be buying my lunch from the canteen! Looks like quite...

Good Morning! It is beautiful and sunny in York today and I was walking to work I realised I made a big error in wearing my duffel coat and scarf! :flamingmad: <--- my face looked this this!! Food yesterday was pretty much to plan although I added a coupla extra syns with some light squirty...

Loving the pics, dress looks loverly! And you can really tell you have lost some weight as well, you look fab :) Food sounds good for today as well, hope you have a good day! xxxx

Thank you hun! Oh the cheesy chips were good!!! I shared them with some friends from work because you get a boat of chips from the pub next door, but it was so worth it!! haha :) Hope you are well and have a good day! Gunna have a nosey at your diary now! xxxx

I have added my mini target to my signature to keep me motivated :) I'm going to find my willpower and claw it back!! xx

thank you Gracie!! xx

Hello hello! wow sounds like you had an eventful week. I hope you're feeling okay after your sicky migraine day. That does not sound nice at all I really feel for you! I've been off plan for the last few days and was feeling a tad guilty about it, but this week is a new week so I'm staying...

Hey! hope you had a good weekend, I have been terrible for posting as well recently, but I'm back on it :) Hope you have a good day! Lauren xx

Thanks Toni, I'm deifnitely finding SW a lot harder this time around and have so many distractions/temptations that I can't seem to keep away from. But I'm back on it ad I'm going to give it a go. Just got under 3 weeks to lose 4lbs, that should be do-able?? xxx

Hello Ladies, I fell off the SW wagon a little bit this last week. I had a hectic week work-wise and personal life wise and I probably did half and half days been really good and been really bad. I'm confessing my worst sins now... cheesy chips at the pub :eek: a super massive roast dinner...

Sounds goooooooood! Although I don't like mint so the toffee and banana one appeals more... like a banoffee milkshake! Yes please! xx

Hello! Auwh, come work with me and then you can have salads galore! yeah only Asda and co-op ones, something to do with the fibre content?? Boo! Just syn em and make mini pizzas out of them! xx

Thank you ladies, I really appreciate it :) even thought it was a small loss I am feeling happy about it! So today is a new day and I want to try and be really good. A friend of mine at work has started going back to SW and we've been chatting about it this morning and it's made me remember...

Curry is the hardest thing to stay away from!! I always cave and just end up getting a makhani, even though its probably the worst one for you (it has cheese AND cream in it!) so good on you for wanting to go with the healthy option. Make sure you enjoy yourself as well though! Hope you're...

Food sounds good! Didn't realise that McCain's jackets are 1 syn... that is interesting. Do they taste like the ones we make at home? I may get some. Going to Morrison's for a salad box today for lunch. Wonder if I can resist the chocolate philly for £1? Probably not xxx

Thank you ladies! I ended up having a lovely weekend and didn't get chance to post at all on here, it was a bit crazy! We had some friends staying from Norwich so ended up cooking for them (Salmon and veggies yum!) on Saturday and then having a roast dinner on Sunday as well, with various...

hello! Hope you are good, just checking in after a hectic weekend. I need to get some of these skinny lizzie sausages asap! Hope you've had a good weekend and here's to a good week on SW! Fingers crossed! Lauren xx

Wow 5lbs off this week is amazeballs!! Well done you! And that is a stone in 3 weeks!! Keep it up, you're doing awesome xx

Hello lovely Hope you are not too down about yesterday, it's not like you went crazy crazy with your syns and we all deserve a treat sometimes! Looking back ove your diary you haven't really had much alcohol, so I'm sure it won't have hurt too much. Hope you're having a good day today :)...

Wahoo on your loss this week, you are doing so awesome I am like a proud mother hen :) one stone down, you hit your mini target did you not? Have fun at Nando's - sad you are going without me! don't you dare get the platter to share haha! xx

Hey Sarah Well done on the weightloss that's fab!! You are doing so well and only 2 weeks in! I'm sure if you make healthy choices with eating out, but still allow yourself some treats you'll be fine. I have faith!! Lauren xx

Wooh it's Friday! As previously mentioned, I had today off work with the boyf and we planned to go to the coast (Scarborough) to play in the arcades, win some tacky teddies and play on the beach. Oh it all started so well! We got up early and we're cooking some brekkie... a very SW friendly...

Thank you lovely! Not sure how I did it either, but the choc raisins helped haha! xx

Thank you hun! I seem to be encountering a lot of buffets recently!! Before SW, I would have gone mad on the tuckshop and would have been slamming them fahitas and potato wedges and cake on my plate, so I must have made some changes which makes me happy :) xx

He's a pesty lil thing but I love him! Thank you! Day didn't go quite according to plan due to a big gas leak/cut off thing in our street but it was a productive day as I got a lot of tidying done!! Scarborough shall have to wait... :( Lauren xx

Sup Honey B! I never syn if I don't use all my healthy extras! surely not eating calories is a good thing??? It worked for me anyway so I wouldn't bother if it's working for you too! Well done on sticking to plan today, I have had a rather bready day today. mmm stodge xx

So the general gist of the post was... no naan... 10.5 syns for Weds and I've had a good day today!! :rolleyes: I'll tell you why... To help me develop in my job I've started to study for my CIPD in HR practices and I was at a hotel near Leeds today on my first workshop. I was so so nervous...

/7000000000000Okay so last night I resisted the naan bread and took my own pi p0[;'''''tta to have. It hit the spot but it just wasn't as good as naan, of course! T7 444444444444444444444444444444p[';i999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/he pittas I got were 100 carlories, and...

ouh the little s**t!! I hope you had a go! :) Good that you get to take some for your dinner tomorrow though. I have thought about putting it on an Alpen bars to make them even chocolateyer... i bet that's good.... xx

Hey Laura, I love all your photos, and that piccy of the sarnie you made.... i think I could have eaten it then and there haha! I find salad does get boring after a while. I always try and have something different with it everytime I have it, like pineapple for sweetness or some balsamic glaze...

I enjoyed the rant! I got it a fair bit when I first started from some family and especially people at work who seem to enjoy noseying at what you're eating and why you're not visiting the food table anymore (crisps and biscuits galore). I think you're very sensible to stay quiet throughout the...

Hope the bath/book/film was fun! I'm having a similar night tonight, knackered after a training course so going to chillax I think. Ahh Primark, I love it! I have seen some really nice things in Dorothy Perkins recently which I quite fancy, but might treat myself once I've lost a few more lbs...

Well done on not giving into cake temptation!! Looks like you had a really good day again, I need to take a leaf out of your book I think!! Hope you've had a fab day and enjoy the mousse!! xxx

Yessss! I knew you'd like it!! Now you've made me think about it and I may have to have some grrr Loving your mini targets! Can't wait for the paaaartay! I am definitely going to buy the outfit I showed you. It's going to be hilar! xxxx

Hahaha they're fab aren't they!! I think it's probably a love it or hate it type thing as a lot of my friends and family really don't like it! Hope you've had a good day :) xx

Hahaha! that's crazy! I went to visit some family and because there was 12 of us we got chinese because it was easier than cooking for so many people. Ooops. I hadn't had many syns during the day but oh dear, I think I'm addicted to sweet and sour prawns. 5 new outfits? That's awesome. Seen...

Good idea with the mini targets. helps keep you focussed. I might even make you a Club 10 sticker when you get there :):) xx

Love it! I may have to do that. I had my portion from the big tub last night and then just wandered over the the fridge and suddenly it was open and I was contemplating just eating the whole thing! How many grams are the small tubs? They sounds like they are more suitable to me and my...

I just love my bed so stay in it for as long as possible! I'm going to have to make more of an effort though, there's only so much Alpen bar I can take! ouh yeah, 11 stone here we come! I thought it was a nice round number to aim for. I weigh in tomorrow and am a bit worried, but we'll see how...

Hello! Just been reading your diary so though I'd say hello rather than staying all stalkerish! Well done on your 2lbs loss, that's fab. I never seem to have chance to make anything in the morning and end up having cereal/Alpen bars, so I might nick your potato cube idea. Yum! Hope you're...

Get some, you won't regret it! Although you may want to eat the whole thing... Good call with the garlic bread idea. I have some little wholemeal rolls and some pittas at home so might do one of them instead of naan. I'm also going to attempt the pizza idea we discussed, for Thursday nights...

Thank you crisp expert :) I didn't realise space raiders were low in syns, I'm definitely going to get some. I don't really like pom bears, I like my crisps to be very full of flavour (like flaming hot monster munch or chilli heatwave doritos yes please!) and they always seem a bit... weedy...

I'm going to my Ma and Pa's for tea tonight and I think they're doing chicken tikka masala, with rice. I've checked out the sauce they usually use, and for my portion it will be 5 syns. No doubt there will be naan bread (argh!) but I will try and resist. So food for today is: Breakfast...

It was AMAZING. So much better than the mousse, but way more syns. I wanted to eat the wholte tub but restricted myself. I had it with strawberries and it was delish. It's like the inside of a Lindor... but Cadburys! xx

Evening! Well firstly I need to say... OMG chocolate philadelphia is the best thing ever. EVER. Today has been okay, food-wise. The philly probably ruined it but oh well...! Breakfast - Alpen bar light x 2 (HEB) Luncheons - Subway Salad (4.5 syns + HEA) - chicken, lettuce, tomato...

cheesecakes are looking GOOOOOD! very jealous right now xx

Thank you hun! The mousse is amazing, I really like it. I like Quark so would probably like the cheesecake concoction too. I've tried to make one before but it didn't really set and was a bit runny! Had another good day today, so I think I'm back on it! Going to have a read through everyones...

Evening All, I've actually been quite good today (shock horror!) Breakfast - Alpen Bar and FF lemon yoghurt Luncheons - Ham and pineapple salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn, pineapple, ham) Dinner - Salmon, Rice, Salad (lettuce, tomato, pepper, gherkin, tomato, cucumber and...

Aw Fab! I'm glad you like it. Some of my friends thought it was an acquired taste but as you know I absolutely love it!! I'm going to have to go and purchase some Quark and make some tomorrow :) Have a nice evening! xx

Hey! I always do EE, I never even considered doing a mix until I read through a few diaries on here. Although having 2 lots of Healthy Extra some days does sound rather tempting...?? Lauren xx

I have heard about the roulade thing, but never attempted it. Half the people say its awesome and half say it's eggy and gross! Maybe trial and error and just keep trying? Thanks! Well, I was super motivated for a holiday to America last year and lost 2 and half stone within 4 and a bit...

Wow well done on your loss that is FANTASTIC!! Keep it up, you're doing amazingly! Your food always sounds lovely as well. Well done! Lauren xx

Hey! Hope you had a nice weekend. I wouldn't worry about a roast dinner too much, especially if you had loadsa veg. Fingers crossed for weigh in but I'm sure you'll be fine. Is it tonight? I have been terriblé over the weekend and had another chinese feast argh! Oh well! I have been looking...

Well done on your loss!! 9lbs in 2 weeks is insanely good, you have nothing to grumble about! hope you had a fab weekend It wee'd it down all the time in sheffield boo! And now I get to work and it's glorious sunshine! Why???!! Lauren xx

How is it Monday morning again? So the hybrid beans/mushrooms thing ended up being a ham salad! Which was very lovely. Tea was at Rachel7896's house which was amazing. I've copied what she has put in her diary as I couldn't remember everything we had. I will definitely be making all those...

So I am feeling much positive today but also having a 'omg I feel massive fatty boom boom day' so we'll see what happens! Chinese tonight at Rachel7896's house is chicken noodles with a SW curry sauce. We're also having duck salad with hoi sin for a starter, which I absolutely can't wait for...

Thanks hun! Yeah it's nice to have someone else doing SW. When I did it for a few months last year me and a friend from work went together and we had tea together every week after class. It really helps! Have a lovely weekend! xxx

Fingers crossed for some nice weather then. I know some people at Sheff uni! And well done on resisting all the temptations at home, I know I find it hard when I visit home and my Pa is eating about 4 cakes as his 'afters' and I just have a bit of fruit. It'll all be worth it in the end...

Happy Friday! I am annoyed at myself today as I have gone completely off plan and I didn't intend to! Grr.. let's just say some cheesy chips are now sat in my belly from my pub visit at lunchtime for a catch up with the girls. I also had Coco Pops for breakfast when I told myself I was just...

Thank you! I have been terrible today and gone completely off plan but aim to stick back at it over the weekend and beyond! They are worth it aren't they? I love Lance to bits but if he wants your attention he bats your face and then just looks at your like 'What?' Grr! Can't help but love him...

Food looks good for this week so far! Is the weather nice in Sheff at the mo? I'm coming over on sunday to visit some family and wanted to spend sometime outside (after a trip to Meadowhall obvs!) getting a bit of Vit D from the sun! xx

Photos of your food look so awesome! Hope you're having a good day, seems like you've had a healthy week so should be on for some good losses :) xx

Tea sounds good (minus the lamb!). Looking forward to our chinese feast tomorrow (low syn of course) You'll have that stone sticker in no time xxxx

It's Thursday! Which means its only one more day til Friday :D This week has been long! So last night was awesome, just catching up on my TV shows. Although I managed to bash myself in the face with a baking tray (don't ask) and my cat, Lance, pawed my face when I was asleep because I...

Thank you! I know what you mean. I watched the first two episodes last night. I think I like it, but I can see it being really formulaic with obvious twists and stuff. We'll see! I like how Haywire from Prison Break is in it though as a wolf. I'm liking his character. I'll keep watching and...

Evening All! So I weighed in at Boots and the scales showed a 2lb loss. Wooh. I'm still going to weigh in on M&D's scales as that's where I weighed myself last. I'll try and do that tomorrow. Food for today has been a bit weird... Breakfast - Banana, Alpen Bar (HEB), Apple Luncheons -...

Thanks!! I'll give it a go :) xx

Just weighed in at Boots....... 2lbs off!!!! :talk017::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance: I am a happy lady! At least I know it's working, even though I have had a fair few syns this past week or so. Hopefully going to cut down on the amount of syns I'm taking in and keep it...

Good incentive! Wotsit sandwich sounds.. uhmayzing xx

Lol oh no!! Egg fried rice is b-e-a-utiful though! I know that if I had scales I'd be on them all the time, so I restrict myself! We'll have to send you to a self-help group where you are made to ignore some scales in an empty room :):) And I seriously wouldn't worry about a half a pound...

Just make sure you add a bit of sweetener because it can be a bit tart (because of the Quark I think). I'm addicted to it though, might make some tonight!! Have a good day Lauren xx

Food is sounding good! I think it's great to plan ahead and make extra tea for lunches the next day. Mixes things up as well. A really nice dessert if you lik meringues is SW eton mess, - meringue, frozen berries and light squirty cream. only 3 syns for a portion. If you're a chocolate...

Morning All! So I had a chinese last night and it was awesome. I mainly filled up on noodles from the chow mein and boiled rice, but I also had some sweet n sour and some beef in black bean (minus the beef). I also had a few prawn crackers and I really enjoyed it. I have definitely gone over...

Hi Sarah, They were really nice, I'll definitely be doing them again. The tikka powder made them quite spicy as well so they had a kick! I love mushrooms too. Garlic mushrooms with cream are my fave.... mmmmmmmm :D Hope your week is going well xx

It's Tuesday! How long has this week been and we're only on day 2? :sigh: Been feeling a bit parp today, there's all sorts going round the office and am just feeling a bit run down. Food-wise I've been okay today as I am saving myself for a chinese tonight!! Eeeeh chinese. Haven't had one in...

Thank you! I'll update on Wednesday morning as I'll weigh in at my Mum n Dad's in the morn as I don't have scales at home! Eeek xx

Not had such a bad day today. Seemed to be reeeaaally hungry when I was at work but kept the snacks healthy. Monday food Breakfast - Choc Alpen light (HEB) and a banana Luncheons - spaghetti hoops on a little jacket potato, ham salad with mayo (2 syns) Tea - Salmon with dauphinoise...

Hey! Peppercorn sauce looked delish! I'm jealous of your steak night!! Day has been good thank you, just glad to be home. Am been persuaded to watch Jurassic Park as I've never seen it. Soo cant be bothered :rolleyes: So...For my dauphinoise I chop 2 cloves of garlic and put it in a flat dish...

Hello! How did Monday go? xx

Hi Sarah Well done for dodging the biscuit! It does sometimes sound too good to be true, but you can eat all fruit, veg, fish, meat, potatoes, rice, pasta etc etc but obviously ubtil you're full! 'naughty' things like crisps and choc and biccies are synned and you can have upto 15 a day. The...

Go for it. comments are always welcome!! Hope you are having a mini celebration tonight for the awesome weightloss :) I lost 5lbs in my first week and felt awesome so I know how you feel :):) xxxx

Hey Safi, Found your diary through lilliferjade, thought I'd have a nosey, hope you don't mind :) 7.5lbs in your first week in fantastic well done!! I bet you're feeling awesome! I love SW too, it's brill Keep it up! Lauren xxx

Auwh well done. 2lbs off is excellent!! :party0011: I am a strong believer that we all need sod it days anyway, and it clearly works. All going good thanks, been finding my first week back on SW a lot more difficult that I thought I would, but I'm getting there. Ruined my Sunday with a...

Morning, I slept goooooood last night :D So the plan for today is: Breakfast - Alpen Light (HEB), banana Luncheons -Ham salad with a jacket potato and some ketchup (2 syns) Dinner - Salmon, dauphinoise potatoes made with milk (HEA) green beans Snacks - I have a FF yoghurt and some...

Meadowhall was awesome, although was good and only had a mini splash out in Primarni and went out for lunch as well. It all started so well! breakfast was as described... alpen bar and banana. awesome. Lunch : starter was 3 lil chicken wings and 2 potato skins with bacon and sour cream. Main...

Gutted! But it was totally worth it :):) xx

How did your Sunday plan go? I was good for my lunch in TGI Fridays (grilled chicken and salad) but then ruined it with a Mcflurry lol!! xxx

Don't get down about it, you've been good all week and just had one little blow out with the chinese (which sounds delish... sigh). Just stay positive and don't worry about it. Good luck with weigh in, I'm sure you'll be fine xx

Tea was good, but we had beef in the curry and I'm not a huge fan so I picked it out! The taste of it was nice though and I had it with a bit of FF yoghurt as it was quite spicy (classic boyf putting in whole chillis, seeds and all) I concocted a weird and wonderful starter with some mushrooms...

Forgot about adding some pics... god i love food. xx

So the tea was lovely, but I definitely went a bit overboard with the meringues and squirty cream. Worth it though it was delish!! I think I'll probably guess at having my full syn allowance yesterday as I had chorizo with the chicken too. Nicola brought chocolate cookies round as well but we...

chinese takeaway hell yes! xx

ha thanks! tea was awesome, i really enjoyed it but definitely ate too many meringues, they're just so addictive! pink n whites are like marshmallow sandwiches between two bits of wafer. They're delish and I have now discovered that if you bung them in the microwave they're even better ...

OMG, I wasn't going to have one but I just ate a Pink N White that I put in the microwave for 20 seconds. They go HUUUGE and gooey and way more delicious. So add another 2.5 syns onto my running total so far :)

Morning! I ended up going to the supermarket and buying a whole cooked chicken for tea. While the boyf ate all the leg, thigh, wing, dark meat and skin (mmmm) I stuck with chicken breast which (I tell myself) was equally as nice. I had it with a slice of wholemeal bread from a 400g loaf (HEB)...

I'm excited for tea tonight! I think that's what we're going to have, as long as asparagus, bacon and chorizo is brought along to the feast :D Good luck with the rest of the day, your lunch sounds awesome xx

Dinner looks super tasty. I'm sure you will have lost some, let us know how you do! xx

They are so good! We'll have to get one in town one day. Remember when we went to London and you all got subway sarnies and I bought a lame-ass salad from sainsburys and I could have had a Subway one. Wish I'd have known about them then!! xxxx

Food plan for today: Breakfast - fat free yoghurt and a bit of cereal (like a crunchy muesli thing) so I'm calling it 3 syns as there wasn't loads. Luncheons - Subway salad (chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, sweetcorn, onion, gherkins, sweet onion dressing (2 syns), spinkle of cheddar...

I never remember to do my measurements, I really wish I'd done them before starting SW last year. I think it would definitely help though so good on you for doing it! I'm really not just saying this, but I think you look lovely in the pic you posted! but bravo for putting it on here... I don't...

Mmmm cheese. to be fair 28g isn't really that much when it comes to a cheese demon like you, but I guess if you use your HEA and some syns then you get a decent size. God your menu tonight has made me hungry... xxx

Happy Thursday! So tea was delicious, but a few more syns that I had hoped for. Ma n Pa made a last minute change and we ended up having chicken in Homepride White Wine sauce.... it was a 500g can and I had a quarter of it so it works out at 5.5 syns. I had potatoes, carrot and swede mash...

Quick update before I forget. I went to Morrison's at lunch for some bits and bobs and bought a small wholemeal roll (HE). I had that as well with a little tin of spaghetti hoops as I was still hungry after my salad! I also ate a pink n white (2.5 syns) So the rolling syn value is 4.5! Tea...

Aw thanks! I was really happy with the weightloss but want to lose maybe another stone, I'm thinking it might be a bit harder this time round though!! I always do EE days, I find it quite easy to stick to and always worry that if I mixed it with Green and Red ones I'd not lose any weight...

The Skinny Cow ice cream was demolished by about 8:05 and it was delicious. YUM! I'm going to my Mum n Dad's for tea tonight so god knows what they will cook up. They are normally quite good when I'm trying to be good so I am expecting one of 3 things.... spag bol, meat and veg dinner or...

I know what you mean, I couldn't believe how much I could eat on it, and still get to have nice things as well. I started at the end of May last year to lose weight for a trip to America in September. (figured I'd be eating so much junk I'd lose some weight to put it all back on!) I lost 2...

Doesn't sound like you've eaten too much brekkie, the cereal portions are insanely small after all!! How were the sausages? xx

Awesome, well done!!! xx

Hey Laura-Jane, Diary sounds good so far, and it's reminded me to buy some nutella as a sweet treat!! Good luck with your weightloss, I'll keep a nose in your diary if that's okay :) You'll be feeling good in swimwear in no time! xx

Auw thanks guys, that makes me feel better :wavey: So tea tonight was sweet chilli chicken stir fry. I raided the fridge and freezer and realised we didn't have what I thought we had in. So it was a strange concoction of noodles, green beans, the remnants of a stir fry mixed veg pack, carrot...

Hi Gem, Is ravioli free from syns? Is it the beef filled one or just in tomato sauce? If so, I am very excited by this news!!!! Thanks, Lauren

I may be tempted to buy pre cut butternut squash... do they do that?! Well today wasn't too bad... I had an Alpen Bar, a banana and an apple for my breakfast. When I got the training venue I had a hot choc and a little biscuit thing (oops!) but I really fancied it and they were just laid...

I think I'm always put off by the fact I don't seem to have enough upper body strength to slice butternut squash haha! It's hefty! Going to have to try it a bit more though, I think it's good to mix it up and not always have potatoes as my stodge. Glad you've had a good day. I know what you...

Thanks! I think I'm addicted to sweet potato at the moment. I slice em into wedge shapes, put rock salt and smoked paprika on them, spray with fry light (but not loads otherwise they can go a bit soggy) and bung them in the oven quite high (on about 200) for about 45 mins. They come out...

So, my first day back on SW has been successful, I have managed to stay away from most treats and am feeling good :) Breakfast was a fat free yog and alpen bar Luncheons was chicken salad, a potato, 2 LC light triangles (HE) and I had a bag of Velvet Crunch crisps (4.5 syns). Alpen bar for a...

Hi RVR, Good luck with your weightloss!! You'll be seeing those scales go down in no time. I'm coming up 25 too and wanted to do something about my weight, and nows as good a time to start as anything. Hope your first day goes well tomorrow Laurenporkchop xxx

Hahah thanks Rachy! You have motivated me again to lose a bit more. now get your food diary sorted!! xxxx:Dxxxx

oh and an apple and banana as well to have during the day. Forgot about those! :D

Well this morning could have started a bit better for my first day back on SW! I have caught the man flu from my boyfriend and I am not feeling brilliant. :cry: But... I have made a tasty lunch to combat it and I won't let it defeat me and draw me over to the food table at work, which is...

Thank you!! I'm kinda looking forward to having the routine of SW again, and seeing whether I can do it! Here's to a good first day tomorrow... :) xx

Hello everyone, I'm Lauren. Here's a bit about me... I started Slimming World in May 2011. I was going on holiday to the US of A in September and wanted to lose some timber before gorging myself on awesome food for 2 weeks. I steadily lost 2 and half stone in just over 4 months and I was loving...

Well done on the 0 syns Tuesday! That's so hard to do! Looking forward to mexican FEAST tonight. I will try and not eat too many nachos too, but let's face it... I'll be in there like swimwear xx

Hello! I think you are doing amazingly, especially as you aren't even going to group! Keep it up :) chicken, jacket potatoes and salad for tea + choc mousse for dessert. yes please! lotsa love! xxx:)

Hey! Well I think I'll give Zumba a go, I'll let you know how I get on next week... it will probably be horrendous! Thought I'd just get back to you on here rather than keep two threads going :) I'm in York (currently very rainy!) and I work for the Civil Service. I love it, although it's...

Day has been good thank you, just at work. Got a big shop tonight (to get some tasty, healthy food :)) then chillaxing with the boyf tonight and watching the last 2 episodes of 24 (yep.. I am that behind on it!) Got a BBQ tomorrow, weather permitting, so am going to save some syns up for some...

I had to post 20 times before I could upload a piccy (and it's 50 before you can view profiles etc), bit annoying but it's to stop spammers and that kinda thing so I understand :) Good luck with everything, looking forward to reading your diary Lauren xx

Only 2 and a half hours til hometime though :) I had my fingers and toes and eyes crossed for good weather tomorrow but the weatherman seems to hate me anytime I arrange a BBQ or something as it's meant to wee it down allll daaayyy tomorrow. Shall we all just go and sit outside in the sun now...

I'm a Wednesday Weigher! I think if I saw the scales go up I'd get a bit depressed and then probably be really good for the next few days... so maybe I should get some?! lol Lauren xx

Hi Dominique, Nice to 'meet' you :) You're definitely in the right place for help and support. I've been lurking for a while too and decided to start chatting recently! I'm tempted to start a diary as well. Just go to the threads and start a new diary, you'll soon have people commenting and...

Hi Rhi Well done :) Hope you managed to get something else to eat other than your apple! I find snacking during the day on healthy bits and bobs stops me from eating things on the dreaded 'food table' we have at work.. full of cookies and cakes and crisps. Not good! I walk to work and back...

Hello! Well done on the loss! and the Club 10 wooh! I got all confused and needed to lose 3.5 to get my Club 10 and I lost 4lbs, so I got a new shiny sticker and certificate too. I am dead chuffed. Just half a pound until the stone and a half and then I am half way through what I think I want...

Well done Rhi! Excellent news on the loss. I don't have any scales, I'm also worried I'll get addicted to weighing myself. I think thats why I get so nervous when I hop on them at class for the WI! Silly me. xxx

Wow well done! 9lbs as well thats amazing :)!! xxx

Hi Storyjunkie :) I would deffos recommend Slimming World. I was dubious having never tried dieting (or 'healthy eating' as I like to call it.. :)) before, even though I knew i needed to and thought SW would be something like off 'Fat Fighters' - a bit horrendous. All i can say is Join...

Well done on Day 3 of 100%! The weather is beautious here as well, I wish I was outside in my garden rather than sat in the office too. I do have a rather nice window to stare out of though. Only downside is it looks out over a pub beer garden... I want to be in there!! Lauren xx

I'm not really sure how much else I want to lose! I'm half a pound off a stone and a half, and would ideally like to lose another stone, maybe another stone and a half. I think I just want to see how I feel in another stones time and then go from there! I'll be sending lotsa support your way...

Thanks Rhi :) I had a mini bag of buttons and some mayonnaise with my dinner! haha all within my syn limit though so I'm still feeling good about it - lame! lol Thanks for your support, everyone just seems so nice on here! xx

Hey Rhi Just popping in to say Hello! Hope you are well, I think I'll start my diary next week. It seems to help people stay on track so I'll give it a go! How has the gym/exercise plan gone? I think I need to do more but I just need to get my bum up and motivated! Lauren xx

Thank you! Have you just started on a plan? Good Luck I hope it goes well for you :) Lauren x

Hey! Hope you don't mind me nosing in and having a read too. I'm Lauren.. I've been lurking a while but decided to stop stalking and start chatting :) Also needing some added motivation for continuous weightloss! Well done on everything so far, 100% days really make you feel awesome and 'back...

Hey Rhi Well I am chuffed, I lost 4lbs tonight - must have been the no-alcohol rule at the weekend... might need to implement that a bit more me thinks! Got my Club10 as well but now feeling like I should have loads of treats which I know is bad!! How has your day been? Do you write a...

Good Luck everyone who weighs in on a Wednesday! I'm at class tonight for WI, got my fingers crossed for a loss but we'll see! Lauren xx

Hi Rhi Good luck to you too! Hope WW is working out well :D And hope you're first WI goes well, let me know how you get on I have my 8th weigh in tonight.... I always dread it a little bit but fingers crossed! Lauren xx

Hello! 7th weigh in tonight! I think because I lost the first stone rather swiftly, it's slowed right down and the last 2 weeks have been 1lb losses... I miss the days of a nice healthy 3lb loss but I guess that's just what happens!! I always get really nervous when I step on them scales, hand...

Well done :) I sometimes feel like that - a fiver a week to get weighed by someone when I kinda think I could do it alone, but the support there is awesome and sometimes you win things so hey ho.. anything for a free gift!! Keep it up anyway! Lauren xx

Hi Tracy Well done thats an awesome loss in only a few days! Do you WI officially at a class? Lauren xx

Hello Kaylee and Sam :) Thank you for the welcome. 'idle hands' indeed. Hopefully it'll stop me snacking :) How have your days been? Lauren x

Hello Cat! Just popping by to say hello and Congrats on the weight loss so far! I have been stalkering around on here for a while but decided to get posting, and may even start a diary of my own soon! Hope the cycling goes okay - I haven't been on a bike for years. My Pa always used to say...

Met up with a chum from my school days who I haven't seen since February and she said to me 'You're looking great, what have you been doing?' - made me feel fab and realise that it is working :) Loving these NSV's - it's what it's all about!! xx

Hello! I finished reading your diary today after reading it at work (on a v.quiet day, honest!) and I thought I'd better stop and say hello otherwise I would technically be a stalker.... I've just joined minimins officially, although I've been stealing recipe ideas and all sorts from the...

One of my friends on SW always wears the same leggings and lightweight dress combo - she thinks everyone at her class probably thinks she barely has any clothes! I always try to be good on the day of WI, but I don't think it really matters, it never erases the weekends!!

Hello All, I'm Lauren. I have been on Slimming World for 7 weeks now and in need of a bit of extra support! Lost 1 stone 2.5 lbs so far but it's slowing down! I have been using minimins for the last few weeks and been reading like crazy through peoples food diaries etc to get inspiration...
