Gonna be trying this magic porridge....sounds delicious! x

Ok, so I haven't given up I just got back right on track on Monday. I have been really busy this week and I have not had chance to log on to update the food diary. Here it is.... Monday - 23/01/2012 -Green B = 2 x wbix (HEB) & ss milk (HEA) L = Pasta, beans and some worcester sauce S =...

Well done on the loss hun. It is 1Ib more than I managed :-) It can be a little disappointing when you have worked hard but that is even more reason to stick to it, it has to pay off eventually. I got a little disheartened at my STS last week but then thought i just need to get on with it and...

Are they really free? On a green or EE? Got one in the cupboard and thinking of having it for lunch or tea tomorrow. Almost sounds to go to be true. Are any of the others free? Ta x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I do not have the will-power for this! Weekend went completely out of the window! I thought that by being kept busy by decorating my spare room I would not have time to think about being naughty. However, the OH had fish and chips for lunch on Saturday and of course whilst in the middle of...

Think I am in for some body magic today.....without realising!!! Finishing the decorating in my spare room and balancing on a step ladder must be doing something....especially since I ache already :-)

Totally gutted, I stayed the same this week! :-( I should not be so disappointed tho because I did enjoy an indian meal out on Monday! Yesterdays food... Friday - 20/01/2012 - Green B - 1/2 grapefruit (ss), 2 x wbix (HEB) and milk (HEA) L - Jacket pot, cheese (HEA) and beans (ss) S -...

Ah glad to hear it. You are really enjoying those wii games aren't you?! You are passing the bug on to me....heading into town in the morning and think I might purchase one of these games myself :-) My day was good ta. Apart from not going to the gym this evening. I end up doing a bit of...

Did your day get any better? Nothing worse than a bad start to the day. Well done on resisting temptation of eating the wrong thing. Hope it pays off for you x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I sure did enjoy it. Was meant to be going on a bit of a road trip this eve but things changed and instead of heading straight home I went to the gym. Very unlike me! Sometimes find it hard to get going but after ten mins I don't wanna stop, I love swimming. Well if I dont do the session next...

For a HEB is it one bar? I have been trying to find some bars....tesco in the morning x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Since I have seen you talking about Zumba I have been considering it. Then tonight when I left the gym I saw they had a session at 7!!! If I hadn't just been swimming I would have gone. Think I might try it next week :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thank you. Might try this saturday with my egg fried rice and beef in black bean sauce, my own little ****** meal :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

As for no exercise today that changed....Last minute decision to go for a half hour swim was a good one :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am liking the sound of the satay chicken. That has always been one of my favourite things from the Chinese. What is the recipe for it? x

Thursday - 19/01/2012 - Green B - 2 x wm toast (HEB), baked beans (SS), mushrooms and a poached egg, with 1 tbsp brown sauce (1 syn) S - 3 x mini babybel light (HEA) (all at once, oops :D) L - Tomato & onion pasta n sauce with peas (SS) T - Home-made chicken curry (HEB for chicken) and...

Ah that sucks hun. Don't give up just stick at it. Maybe try adding some superspeeds in too.... Anything is worth a try x

Completely makes sense....I know if I am out for the night with the intention of getting a little merry I tend to drink vodkas or gin because it is less syns and will have the right effect. But when I want to enjoy a drink after a long day or with a girlie lunch I tend to go for wine! Talking...

Ah I see....I really should learn to read back, lol! I bet you do feel like giving up but you shouldn't! Just keep at it. The no alcohol thing is okay during the week (to be fair I wouldn't drink much during the week anyway only if I went out for dinner or something) but as for the...

Oh and wine....what is that? I have not had any in soooooooooo long! I am trying to go the whole of January without any alcohol and I sure am looking forward to a drink, or two lol x

At least it wasn't a gain and it looks like you had a couple of days where you wasn't 100%. If I had what you had I would be quite chuffed with a stay the same. Mmm chips....I love chips, they are my down fall. Head up and try again for next week x

Thanks Kirstym. I am aiming to find a me that I don't remember too! Just wish I had kept going when I did get to that size and it wouldn't seem so far away. x

I have just uploaded some pics of me when I was at my biggest and also my smallest! When I see the one of me at my smallest it inspires me to get back there. Take a look x

Oh it was Kwise. I had 2 poppadoms with chutney and lime pickle, one onion bhaji, half an onion rice, chicken Ceylon and half a peshwari naan! Unfortunately I am one of those people who doesn't even think about what I am ordering until afterwards! Oh well fingers crossed x

Annoyed at myself..... Just had all my weekly syns in one meal! Indian restaurant. Syn free or very low for the rest of the week it is. On the plus side I managed just over a 2.5k run tonight. Will update diary tomorrow. x

It is hard and unfortunately it is those closest to you or the addict that get hurt!

Thank you Kirstym. I know I am not the only one to go thru it but is sure does feel like it at times! x

Thank you Kwise. :) It is amazing how, despite not really knowing people on here, how much the replies and kind words can help! He has gone fishing today which means I have the house to myself and I think a duvet day is in order! x

Hi Sargentgirl, Thanks for your kind reply. It is so frustrating cos it feels like I can't talk to anyone about it cos they dont realise the full extent of things! I hope you don't mind me asking but is he your ex because of the drinking? I just keep asking myself if things are ever gonna...

Well done on your losses. Great start to your new year. Really does feel good to get back into the swing of things doesn't it?! x

Bit of a rant now (unusual for me) so don't read on if you are easily bored! Day started on such a high after losing 3Ib this week but where did it all go wrong???! My other half has a problem with drink and is currently trying to come off it. I am trying so hard to be supportive but every now...

I lost 3Ib this week- GET IN :-)

Hi Beegee. Thanks for stopping by. I end up having a glass of milk instead but if I had seen your post first I would have had the cheese. Lol. I love cheese :-) x

Lol that makes more sense :-) x

Don't I??? Em x

You are making me want to book a holiday. Sad thing is that I am not sure I am going to get one this year :-( Liking your motivation and positive thoughts for the weekend. I too have nothing planned and am thinking I might even decorate my spare room to keep me occupied. Hopefully it should...

I used to have very few syns during the week, I would drink at the weekend and it used to work for me. I quite often used to have a takeaway too although nothing big. I lost 3St doing that. Recently I have put on a stone and a half so I am trying to get back into it! However I have not been...

Are the updated books worth it? I don't go to meetings either but since I now know there is a class across the road from me I am thinking of going just to get the updated books. x

I know. Sometimes I take loads to work, mostly free foods and never manage to get through it! My OH was used to me having weigh the mince when having spag bowl but trying to explain to him last night how EE works he didn't get how I could eat all that food and it be free! x

Thu - 12/01/12 - EE B - 2xWM toast (HEB), 1 tbs brown sauce (1 syn), Mushrooms, Beans Nectarine and grapes S - Didn't even cross my mind....my big breakfast must have done the trick :-) L - Pasta, sweetcorn, tuna and extra light mayo x 3tbs (1.5 syns) Salad (lettuce, cucumber, pepper and...

I tend to not have as many during the week and have a few more at the weekend because that is the time that I am more likely to get tempted. I will see what happens with weigh-ins over the next couple of weeks and if it doesn't work I will up my daily (during the week) syns by a couple... When...

Gotta update my diary today. Been good and exercising hard. Food diary to follow later :-) x

Finally found your diary! I am still getting used to these posts/threads etc. lol! 6Ib....well done that is a great loss! Hope you are feeling better now too Emz

Ah it probably wasn't that bad, it was a sweet chili chicken wrap, fries and some of my bf's bacon double cheese-burger which he decided he didnt like. Oh I then had four hobnob cookies yesterday evening! x

I love the name of your diary!! It is a standing joke with my other half and my Mum that my porn is take away menus, haha :-) Hope you don't mind me popping by and well done on your weight loss, I am sure the 7Ib will fall off quickly. Emz

Just being nosey and saw this....sounds very yummy Charlotte. I might have to try it, cheers for the idea :-)

Some times seems to good to be true doesn't it! Be careful on EE as you need to eat plenty of superfree foods too. As for green....eat pasta and potatoe all day long. I love green days because I don't eat alot of meat but I do EE occasionaly so I can have spaghetti bolognese or curry etc...

Pasta'n'sauce (tomato, onion and herb) with peas....quick, simple and satisfying :-)

Just been having a quick read of your last few posts, well done on your loss you have done really well. I can certainly join in your gain of a stone....in fact, mine is a stone and a half! I am determined to get to goal this year . Positive thoughts and I am sure we will get there x

Good luck with Zumba Kwise! Let me know how it goes, I am thinking of giving that a go. B - 2xWM toast (HEB), 1 egg (scrambled), beans and 1 tbsp of brown sauce (1 syn) L - Butternut Squash and red pepper soup, syn free salad with 2xLaughing Cow Light cheese triangles (2/5 HEA) S - Grapes...

Thanks Kwise. That makes me realise how old my books are but equally if it worked then it must work now. Even more reason to go to a meeting. Now just making tomorrow's lunch which is butternut squash and red pepper soup. The water seems to be habit now as I always try and make sure I have...

Reading these posts make me incredibly motivated! I was 14st 2Ib when I first done SW. I got down 11st but recently the pounds (14 and a couple more) have come back on! Think I will be following your diary for ideas and inspiration, hope you don't mind. Ex

So here I am back on it! Have managed to put on a stone over the last few months after having lost 3st. First week gone well here is what I have had so far..... Tue - Green B - 2xWeetabix (HEB) and SS milk (HEA) L - Rice salad with peppers, onion, mushrooms and peas T - More salad, carrots...

First week back on SW and have been good all week. Had 21 syns in total, which I know I should have had a couple more but wanted to keep it low for a kick start! I just didn't realise how low I had kept my syns on a couple of days. Anyway I would say I am somewhere back normal with syns now...

Me too! I done it alone my first time after I stopped going to meetings! I managed to lose 3st but have recently put on 1St. Like you all I have got old books and print outs, even old food diaries! Fingers crossed for us all xxx

Thank you. Now enjoying tuna, sweetcorn and Mayo pasta with salad as an EE lunch :-) x

14 cals per tbsp, anyone know how many syns please??? Ta x

The magic porridge sounds yummy....oat so simple and muller light added to my shopping list. I have been having weetabix or alpen light bars mixed with muller light this week!!! Love new ideas :-)

Thank you x

Hi. I am still getting to grips with EE and am hoping to go to a meeting next week where I will then be able to ask questions there, but in the meantime I wondered if someone could help me... I am doing an EE day today. Can you still have 2 Alpen Light as a B choice? I do hope so cos I just had...

Slight change to lunch...I had spicy tomato cous cous, with a pepper halved and stuffed with philly light, mushrooms, onion and garlic. Baked in the oven.....yum! So the philly light was my second HEB:)

I wish I could comment but I haven't ever tried an EE day (yet). Though I did want to say, your meals look yummy :-) And, well done on your loss so far. I just hope I can do as well.x

Well done, 10Ib in 3 weeks :-) Really does seem possible with Slimming World and I can't believe I forgot how good it worked for me last time. Well done again x

Day 4 -another green day Another green day. I was planning to do an EE day but with what I have in the house, it makes more sense to do a green day. B - Wholemeal toast (HEB) with marmite and some baked beans L - Spicy tomato and mushroom and pasta with some veg T - Baked potato with...

I had sw chips, peas, 3 fish fingers and brown sauce for tea! Yummy! 7.5 syns for the three fish fingers and one for brown sauce. Love doing slimming world and am already planning next few days :-)

Day 3 - Wednesday - Green So I have done really well for the last two days and here is todays menu :) B - Fruit'n'fibre (HEB) with 200ml ss milk (HEA) (keeping 50ml for 2/3 cups of tea) L - Pasta and salad with philly light (HEB) T - S/W chips, peas and something to go with it (not decided...

Ah thank you. I mostly do green days anyway so would suit me fine. Thanks. Emx

Thanks for the syn advice, it gives me an idea of what I can do. I wouldn't do it all the time but I have my birthday coming up soon so it is useful to know. I know I would not be able to control myself then, lol! So after my big breakfast this morning (big for me as I used to just have a...

Truly amazing. Well done. It really is inspiring to see other peoples success!x

Absolutely fricken amazing....so inspiring! And in such a short time. You must have been bang on it everyday and you must have really really good willpower! Well done x

Everyone is doing well and reading all these posts is really inspiring. :)Think of how much you have lost so far....it does not seem so bad then. I lost like 35Ib (and more but put a few back on recently) and for my goal I have about 21Ib to go. It seems so far but if I was still at the...

Does anyone know if philidelphia light (with garlic and herbs, or spring onion & black pepper etc.) is still a HEA? I mean, I know Philidelphia light is but does it still count as a HEA with the different flavours? I am sure someone must have asked this question before but I am about to make...

Haha, I really have got to remember to scroll down to the bottom of the page for latest post. Either way, I was interested in the bit about you having done WW before, lol!:o

Well done on the loss, as Ali said, it is still a loss, 0.5Ib in the right direction.:) I had been trying to do WW for a while but after losing a few Ibs I would put it back on and could just not get rid. I am trying slimmingworld again after losing 2.5stone on it the first time. I haven't...

Day 2 - Green Tuesday 19/07/11 - Green B - 2 wholemeal toast (HEB), poached egg and half tin of baked beans L - pasta salad (mushrooms, onions and peppers) with philidelphia light (HEB) and maybe a salad to go with it T - Jacket potatoe, 28g cheese (HEA), rest of the baked beans and...

I will be yummy - I tended to do green days when I done slimmingworld before because like you I am not fussed about meat and would get enough from HEB. Thanks for info bout gravy n Yorkshires. Sarah - I like the idea of extra easy but am slightly confused about it. Where did you get your books...

In my old books (bearing in mind I originally done SW in 2008) it says you can have 28g Fruit n Fribre with a scan bran bar as HEXb. Could I have more fruit n fibre and not a scan bran bar? Kind of new to this again and forgotten some things so I am sure there will be more questions :) Help...

Monday 18/07 - Green B - Fruit n Fibre (HEXB) with SS milk (HEXA) S - Fruit L - pasta with tomato puree, chili powder, and mushrooms and salad S - yogurt and fruit T - roast chicken (HEXB), new potatoes, veg, yorkshire and gravy Need to find out syns for yorkshire and gravy, I then might have...

It almost seems to easy really. Thanks for the advice and I didn't realise eggs were not superfree. Have they changed things a bit cos in one of my old books they were superfree. Thanks again. It will be interesting to see how I get on x

First day gone wrong already... :-( Thinking of doing an extra easy day today and for breakfast I had 1 slice of toast and a poached egg! I then realised my bread wasn't wholemeal and as an extra easy day, was one egg enough for the third superfree food on my plate?? Lunch I plan to have...

I have a book from when I originally done SW back in 2008. It has a list of all superfree foods and free foods depending on which day you follow. So I am thinking on an EE day you could have potatoes and chicken as long as a third of the plate is full with superfree veg or salad? Also...

I seem to be confused about superfree foods. Is it just fruit and veg or are there other things too? I think I am going to give a go again, although probably not until tomorrow now. Want to lose another 1.5stone to 2stone and get down to between 9st 7 and 10st. Reading other peoples...

Love coronation chicken and as I am looking for meal ideas, I will definitely be trying this. Sounds very good to have with a jacket and salad.x

Just thought, do I need to add something superfree around breakfast time, like some fruit?

Have been thinking of coming back to Slimming World for a while now and reading this helped, thank you. I can't remember why I even went over to WW. I have never done extra easy either but am going to give it a go. Some good meal ideas on here too Emz x

So, my food diary, here gos..... I done slimming world at the end of 2008 and lost 2st 7Ib and I have been trying WW for a while now to get a bit more off. Without much success I thought I would give SW a go again! It was so much easier for me before. However, extra easy only got introduced...
