Hi! If im honest, I think that Mix to match is so similar to extra easy that not many people would follow it anymore. I cant remember the in's and outs of mix to match, as I never did it when I went to class, but if it still works for you, then I say go for it! As your not going to class it...

On EE again today, Still feeling very down about myself and my weight. Just come home from a driving lesson, at least that is something that I am feeling positive about at the moment. Today's menu: Breakfast: Potato and bean cakes Bacon Lunch: Bread- HEB Cheese- HEA Dinner...

Well done on having a great day yesterday, even with the shock! We've all been there on the driving lessons, my biggest shock was when some t**t in a jag decided that he was going to come into my filter lane where I was sitting there waiting to turn into a side road... I've never been more...

Todays been a bit of an odd day again, my main meals were on plan, but I just couldn't stop eating biscuits! Oh dear! Breakfast was as planned, Lunch was a cheese and brocolli pasta and sauce packet (2 syns), and dinner was also as planned (although I didn't have as big a portion as I normally...

Hi, I would try eating more syns, even just upping it to 10 could make a difference. Also, are you eating a small amount of free food or quite alot? As eating too little can slow down weight loss. I am with you at the moment, I lose a pound and put on 2, I can't seem to get past a certain...

We went to a Wetherspoons where they do 2 pitchers of Cocktails for £10... there were 8 on the menu, so naturally, we had to try all of them! Woo Woo, Sex on the beach, Maripan, Mali- breeze, ect... Oh dear! Today hasn't been very good either. Went shopping to Coventry to get a few bits for...

Yesterday went very badly! The food that I ate during the day was on plan, but then I went out for Cocktails! 8 pitchers between 4 people resulted in a very tipsy Charlotte and a mad dash to the chinese for mini spring rolls! Oh dear!:eek: Weighed myself this morning and am NOT HAPPY!! So...

Hello! My advice would be to not look at the big picture and panic that you have to lose a certain amount of weight, set yourself mini goals that are more attainable. That way, you will feel great that you have achieved that goal! You can do this! Good luck! Charlotte x

Just done half an hour of zumba! Proud of myself! Would have done the whole 50 mins but that's quite hard when you've got a 5yr old and a 2 yr old trying to join in! Off for my yummy dinner now, I can smell chicken!!!

Hello! Don't worry about the food that you ate, the pasta was probably the best option as you can easily find out the syns of the sauce! Dont be dissappointed if your loss isn't that big, a loss is a loss at the end of the day and I'm sure you can pull it back if your goof for the rest of the...

Hello! The weekend was very bad, but I also got some new inspiration for the diet! I went out drinking and some VERY unflattering photo's have since appeared on Facebook (A superfast De-tagging was required!), resulting in me frantically planning my meals for the week to ensure that I keep...

well done on the losses! Dont worry too much about the weekend, you still have nearly 4 days to pull it back! I really struggle at the weekend as well, especially if I am going out and drinking alcohol! You've been good all week so dont worry about having a few beers, you deserve it! :)

Hello! Ive been a bit quiet on the diary front lately, Ive not been feeling too good and just havent had the energy! Was very disappointed with my WI this week, as i STS! Its put me in a bit of a downer, as I know for a fact that this diet works for me (when i first did it when I was 15, I lost...

Today has been a very good day, I'm well into the swing of things now! Dinner was as planned, but we made homemade coleslaw as well, so I added 2 extra syns for the Mayo used. I also had a frozen curly wurly as I had a MAJOR chocolate craving! So total syns for the day: 15 :)

Thank you! Yesterday was an awful day in terms of the diet! I literally couldn't stop eating, I cant even count how many syns I must have had yesterday :mad: So, Ive drawn a line under yesterday, and Im even more determined to lose this weight, as I found out yesterday that most of the...

Thank you!! :)

the mayo sounds lovely! Just looked at your diary and looks like your doing very well! Good luck! xx

Ive tried your recipe before, it is really nice, just didnt have any pitta's in :( I got my recipe off one of the forums on here, but the recipe is: Make the smash up, but leave out some of the water so it is a bit thicker than it should be. Spray a baking tray with frylight, and spread the...

SW mash pizza... Tried it for the first time and it was delicious!

Found the recipe for SW mash pizza today, so thought I would have a go, and well, it was pretty darn good! So for dinner today, I will be having this....

Thank you! I cant wait for Uni now! Trying to get back into the swing of the diet at the moment, i will be fine once Ive had a couple of weeks to settle in, hopefully it will be easier when I get to uni, as I wont have that much time to think about food! :)

Well done for the loss! Thats amazing, your well on your way to getting your stone! :)

Well done on the loss! Its good that you said that you are never hungry as this is important, my first week I did feel a bit deprived but I've got used to it now. Good luck with this week :)

The chocolate and fudge one is the best...actually makes me feel like I've had something chocolate like :)

Morning! So, yesterday was a very bad day, and it did reflect on my weight loss. Only 1 pound off, but its still a pound. However, today is a new day! But, I got the news that I have bee waiting for....I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY!!!! Somehow that 1 pound loss doesnt seem that important today! Will...

Ok, so today was a VERY bad day! The plan has gone completely out of the window! Spent today at Drayton Manor with my family, and had every intention of sticking to plan, I even made myself a chicken salad to take with me for dinner. Best intentions until....I woke up very late and grabbed the...

Honk!

Hello! Im by no means a SW expert, but I will try to help you! Your diet looks fab to start with, you have the right combination of food. Dont worry about the bloating, a lot of people had the same problem when I went to group and my consultant said its something to do with extra water or...

Hello! Your diary seem to be very good, don't worry about the 17 syns, it happens to all of us! I used to struggle with the bread issue when I first started, white bread was my downfall! Which plan do you do? As sometimes when I was doing the green plan, I would sometimes only eat free for...

Hello jess! Sorry to read about your dad! Seems that we are a similar age (Im 18), and I am also going to Uni to study, and am hoping that I can get lots of weight off in my first year, well done on the 3 and a half stone (hope I can lose that much!) Good luck, there are lots of people on here...

Thank you! x

Quavers- 4.5 syns xx

I usually weigh in on Thursday morning... I used to go to a Thursday class when I was 15, as I used to go for free! I already keep a diary with me, and hopefully keeping the one on here for everyone to see will keep me motivated! I think I will be alright for food during the day as I can take...

I usually do green days, as i dont eat enough meat to do red days. I dont do extra easy, as i tried it for a couple of weeks and didnt lose as much as I do when i do red or green days. Also, I prefer to have more healthy extras (I love Alpen light bars too much!)

I think that's the best thing about SW, there are still lots of things that you can eat without feeling guilty, and the superfree is great for when you dont have alot of syns left. Keep up the good work!:)

Hello Bugsbunny! Lovely to hear from someone who has been through the diet at uni! Yes I am still waiting on my results, only 2 days left now! Im weighing in at home, as I cant afford to go to group at the moment, and tbh don't really like the dynamics of my local group, as they tend to go...

Hope your WI in goes well, Im sure you will be fine! Your oriental stir fry sounds lovely!

So...This morning was a goo morning, stuck to the plan far :) Lunch today was eaten out so as it was a Green day, it was.... Jacket Potato Cheese- HEA Baked beans Kit Kat- 5.5 syns Aldi iced coffee drink (not sure about the syns, but based on basic syns principles- 5.5 syns Plan to...

Hello! I am having the same problem, as I have just had one and it was delicious! Im not sure as to the actual syns value, and I thought the same thing about the milk. However, as I don't have access to the calculator, Im going to use the formula of 20cals= 1 syn, so taking the drink to be 5.5...

Hello! Your diary looks fab and a great start to your diary! Well done on the workout as well, you have alot more will power than me! I agree with Jackie, make sure you get your syns into your plan, even if you just have 5 a day. Good Luck, and enjoy your curly wurly! Charlotte xx

Mini goal- to get into the 13's- only 3 pound to go!

Ok, so yesterday was a very good first day on SW! Was a bit naughty towards the end of the night, where I just couldn't resist having a Go ahead yoghurt break, bringing my total syns for the day to 16.5! Oh well, Today is a new day!:) So, for breakfast today, I had.... Porridge HEB Milk...

Oh, I didnt know that! Will have to buy some now! Thank you

Im 18, so am just starting my uni experience, going to study theatre! Am a bit worried about uni in terms of food, as Im not living on campus as it is only half and hour from my home, so am a bit worried about waiting around between lectures and being tempted! Well done on the swimming, although...

Hello! Well done for the fantastic weight loss, a fantastic start to your diet! Good luck with the rest of the weight loss! Charlotte xx

Hello! You seem to be dieting for the same motivations as me (well apart from the nursing thing), and its nice to find someone of a similar age. I am planning on going to university at the end of the summer and want to lose weight so that I dont feel fat next to the other people on my course. I...

Thank you Tilly! I only discovered this site about a month ago, and already I can see how supportive people are! Its great to see people helping other people for a change! Good luck with your weight loss as well, I will have to take a gander over to your diary!

Hello! I know how hard it is being a newbie, don't be so hard on yourself, at the end of the day, you are trying a completely new thing and everyone has hard days and weeks. Personally, Ive been off track for 2 years! I agree with Tilly on this one: plan your meals and snacks, that way it will...

Hello! First of all, congratulations on the original weight loss! And well done for having the courage to go back and join slimming world. Your story is quite inspirational, and I'm sure with the help that you will receive on Minimins, you will lose the weight that you need! I will keep coming...

Ok, so far so good today! Breakfast and Lunch went fab, stuck to the plan completely! Took the dog out for a walk- we both returned completely knackered! For dinner tonight... Roast potatoes Lots of Veg- Broc, cabbage, carrots Chicken- 2.5 syns (only having the small amount left over from...

Hello! Having spent my evening yesterday reading through many of the diaries on here, I felt that now is the time for me to take the plunge and create my own! I have been doing slimming world on and off since the tender age of 15 (being 18 now, that is 3 longggg years!), and have managed to...

Yes, weetabix is ok for a HEB, i think it is 2 normal ones, not sure about the small ones.

You could try courgette to thicken it, as it is one of those veg's that doesnt have a very strong taste itself, so will take on the taste of the cider! My mum does this trick in most things she cooks! Hope that helps! C xx

Chicken roast dinner leftover from last night...roast potatoes, lots of veg, gravy and one of mums lovely yorkshire puddings!

Hello! so far so good i would say in terms of your food diary! the only thing that I would say is the 2 slices of wholemeal bread that you are having, are they the standard size slices or ww size slices? As a HEB is 1 normal slice or 2 ww size slices. other than that, it looks fab, and dont...

Hi Crumble! Hope you don't mind me intruding on your diary! I started to read your diary last night and I must say, it kept me thoroughly entertained, especially the tales of SIL stealing the F & F! Your recipe for French toast and iced coffee had me drooling in my sleep! I just wanted to say...

Hello! I am also new to the site, and also not my first attempt at slimming world! Hope you dont mind me having nose at your diary, Ive started one of my own in the hope that it will keep me on track! Your breakfast sounds delicious, I might have to try it for myself tomorrow! Good luck with...

I understand how frustrating it is... I used to get so upset with small weight losses. I used to find that my weight losses were barely anything when I did EE. Have you tried doing just Red or Green days? These used to work better for me, although obviously it is personal preference. Good luck...

I assume that would work, and would probably taste a bit nicer as well! If you were willing to use a couple of syns as well, you could use a flavoured philly, like the garlic and herb one to give it an extra kick!

I brought the DVD set from QVC a couple of months ago, it is a fantastic work out as each of the people taking part is working at a different level, so it really does work for everyone!
