This is for those of us that have made some mistakes or want to improve on how we move ahead with the Slimming World Plan. My thoughts from previous week are that I need to be more disciplined when I'm eating out. I had a extremely synful weekend, where I went way over my syns allowance. On...

I have a confession! - I ate half a large bar of fair trade chocolate : ( It was laying in the fridge at work for a long time, so I asked "who's chocolate is that?" I found out the staff in the office next door was given it and none of them liked chocolate!! They offered it to me and I gladly...

Sorry to be the party pooper - 3 reasons not to have a tatto... 1. It will hurt you 2. It will cost you 3. You may live to regret it You've probably guessed - I'm not a fan of tatoos : )

What shall I have for lunch? - I'm thinking of going to local cafe for jacket potatoe with tuna mayo - God knows how many syns are in the mayo!

Wow - I'm staying there in June - I can't wait. It's my first visit so I will also be happy to read any tips

Interesting posts. I love the fact that muscle burns more calories. This means with good muscle tone you can be burning more calories whilst sitting on your sofa. Based on this, I've started to use the gym more and use weights as part of my exercise plan.

I would love to be rid of my muffin top, fat back, belly and bingo wings. I would like have the fat recycled and pumped into my bum and some into my face, ohhh and maybe a little into my foot bottom to cushion me when I walk lol We don't ask for much do we!

Ohh bless - I hope you feel better soon. When I experienced ear ache, I used hopi candles - a natural remedy. It really helped and its very soothing.

I also plan to go for long country with a friend tomorrow morning. I'm out at a party in the evening and I'm going to try my hardest to stay on diet coke all night, I'll pretend it's wine. Mothering Sunday, my daughter will take me out for meal - this will have to be my day off from SW.

For the most part, EE is great. I could so very easy go over the healthy B's on fibre and go under the healthy A's on dairy/calcium. I am a snack queen and I'm fighting hard to enjoy fruit as snack, when I really want packets of crisps and chocolate. If I do it long enough it will become habit -...

Hake fish - served in passata sauce with onions and red peppers seasoned spicy. basmatic rice, kale and carrots. Followed by a muller light yoghurt.

I'm 5.10 I weight 13.8 - I'm a size 16 top - I have amble bussoms. My bottoms are size 14. It all depends were you shop - I fitted into a size 12 skirt from H&M! Don't you just love vanity sizing. I will be quite happy to go down to a size 14 top and 12 bottom and stay there.

When people say "you've lost weight with a concerned look on their face" when they think, you must have been sick to lose the weight!

I used Asda Quark and the same happened to me. After I read somewhere, you should not let it boil or it will curdle and separate :sigh:

Sounds interesting - I'll give it a go and post a review. Thanks

I attended SW meetings for 6 weeks. I thought that was sufficient time for me to get initial support and to get to grips with the diet. The EE diet is the most sustainable diet I have ever done. I must admit I'm do not follow it completely (I cheat a little) but I have still managed to lose...

When I attended class it was at 6pm so I would eat after the class. Given your pass experience your suggestion of having dinner before your go to your meeting is a good one. This, as you stated would help you to avoid snacking before your normal dinner time. The main thing is to be...

Teeth

1. Lost a further 3lbs in weight 2. Did an aerobics class and pushed myself a little further 3. Tried a new recipe from the Slimming world book and really enjoyed it

Lemon & Garlic Chicken served with new potatoes, green beans and cherry tomatoes in vinegarette sauce.

I prefer Extra Easy Plan - I tried the Green/Red Day plan many years ago and it did not work for me. I ended up putting on weight. The EE is most sustainable diet I have done to date. To me it's about going back to basic cooking from scratch and minimising cakes, sweets & pastries.

Good Luck Figgy - I'm like you.. following the SW plan without attendance at meetings. My weigh in is tonight!

1. Thinking ahead and planning & buying my meals for the day. Won't be home til late, so I picked up a spicy chicken cous cous salad and fruit for my evening meal. 2. Posting and reading on minimins - loving the ideas and support on this forum. 3. A feeling of being in the right zone for...

Welcome to all the newbies - great news... We all in the right place with a shared aims and objectives. I'm loving this forum - the support is great. So much appreciated as I don't attend SW meetings anymore. Good luck to you all in your quest to losing weight x

Just brought a six pack of mullier light yoghurt from Asda on special offer at £1.50.

Spicy chicken cous cous salad - ready chilled meal brought from Asda. Strawberries with mullier light yoghurt. I won't get home until later tonight so I had to buy something to eat on the go. When I get home I'm going to have two alpine light cereal bars and a options chocolate drink.

Its a good feeling when people notice you've lost weight and pay you a compliment. A woman at an aerobics class this morning asked if I had lost weight and said had to look twice to see if it was really me. I walked out with a spring in my step - she made my day! Keep up the good work.

Wow SugarPlum! - you have got off to a really good start with your weight lost. Well done to you.

Hey don't be disheartened, your weight loss is an achievement and lets face it better than a weight gain! I've been fed up with slow weight loss in the pass and a friend put me straight in saying... If I continued to loose a 1 lb a week, in a one year that would add up to 52lbs 3 and half...

Good luck Ronnie - you can do it. What's a tabatta class?

My goal is to loose ten pounds before I go on holiday at the end of June. I would also love to wear a red bikini for the time in my life!

I empathise with you - I want to loose my last ten pounds. I'm following the SW Extra Easy plan in a fashion. I lost 2 stone last year and I have struggled to maintain that weight loss and to go further in reaching my target. I'm not attending any SW meetings and have decided to take advantage...

I like Jaffa cakes - 2 syns each.

I rate Shock Absorber bras - they are brilliant. The are widely available from high street department stores. They retail from £20 ish pounds. I got a proper fitting from a department store and then ordered a brand new one from Ebay for £6!

I watched the programme, very interesting! The fidget pants experiment made me think how inactive I am during the day. 12 minutes intense exercise a week would definitely save me some time at the leisure centre. However I enjoy the social aspect of getting out and meeting people.

I love zumba, been doing it for over a year. It's great fun and gives me a chance to get my groove on! It's the only aerobics class that keeps me smiling and laughing throughout. It's a really good pick me up after a being confined to an office all day.

I know that would be a challenge for me as they do sound as if they are a moreish. Are they 1 syn on EE plan?

Count me in for receipe please.... What did you serve it with?

Thanks Julie - I'm definately going to try that receipe. I absolutely adore Ferrero rocher.

I gave myself 6 weeks of attendance at a Slimming World Club and then decided to go it alone. Mainly because of the cost and also I started to attend only for a weigh in and not stay for the meetings. The support you get from attending the club is fantastic, however I'm now getting great...

Thanks for your kind words of support. All the best to you x

Its true what you say.. I was feeling a little low last couple of weeks and I naturally sourced excessive, fatty foods. I suppose a way of not numbing the pain but bringing in a joy of eating fries, hot chickens wings.. I love junk food, however I hate feeling of feeling fat more. So I have the...

10lbs to go.... My target is to loose 10lbs by the end of June 2012. My motivation is to be able to wear a biniki on holiday for the first time in my life!

Last year I lost 2 stones :) however the last couple of weekends I have started to go back to my old ways!! Ohh nooo - So I'm here to try and get back with healthly eating. I would like to loose 9lbs before the end of June 2012 - Just before my holidays. I'm following the slimming world...

I am just about to eat... I'm just about to have a mug shot Thai flavour - Syn free :flirt2:
