Thank you for the warm welcome! Mandy and Lydia, I truly thought it was just me!!! I was becoming obsessed about food on SW, which I don't think I ever did on WW, hence, another reason to change! X

Just wanted to say hi! Just joined WW pro points. I have done WW before, but not pro points, and I have been doing SW, but it just is not working for me, so I have come back to WW, as it worked once before, so hopefully it will work again on pro points. Look forward to getting to know you all as...

Hi Anna, Welcome and congratulations on. Your loss so far. Good luck with the rest of your journey. X

Well done! X

Well done everyone who lost. Good luck to everyone for the coming week. X

Ooooo! I'm going to do it and see if I get any odd looks! Lol thanks again. Xx

Well done!!!!! x

Geez!! I never knew that, but it does make sense! Do you think my boss and colleagues will mind if I nap on my desk or start doing aerobics in the middle of the office? Lol!! Seriously though ..... I'll have to find something to do, to keep me pre occupied around this time. Thanks everyone for...

I usually eat at about 12.30 and I do green and original days , so usually have something like a baked potato with beans and a salad, or a sandwich like tuna or ham and then some fruit. I think you all could be right about sugar levels, as some days I actually get the shakes..... Maybe I...

Over the last three weeks along with writing a food journal, I have also been writing a feeling journal, and I have found that around 2.30pm to 3pm, I start to feel really down :-( I will sit and try and figure out why I'm feeling like this, but I honestly don't know..... then..... I want to eat...

Stackhead, move away from how much you have to go and look at how far you have come! 2 stone is no easy feat!!!! Break what's left down into realistic bits for yourself. Previously when I've lost weight, I only ever managed 1 1/2 stone and then I hit a dead end and gave up! Not this time...

Does anyone subscribe to the mag? If so, when do we receive it? I always have to chase them for it, which makes me think it would be easier to get it when I shop;-) xx

1/2 lb on :-( ...... But then it is my star week. ;-) my clothes do feel slightly looser, so maybe I will have a good loss next week :-) Good luck to everyone weighing in today. Xx

Sorry 2 lb not 2 pm ;-) x

I did the same and my scales are showing 2pm gain!!!! It is my star week...... But still! Hopefully it will be gone on Tuesday ;-). We'll just have to be extra good!! Good luck xx

Well done!!! That is amazing!!!! Xxx

Wow!!! I hope your halo is extra shiney...... It certainly should be!!!! Xx

Welcome to the forums. Good luck with your journey xx

Well done!! That is a brilliant start. X

Thank you ladies! Good luck to everyone who still have to weigh in. I hope to see less of you!!! Lol xx

Woohoo! 3.5lbs off!!! I am really pleased with that :-D good luck to everyone at weigh in. Xx

Yaaaaay! I love this! Guess what I'm having for dessert tonight :-) xx

Good luck to everyone at weigh in this week xx

When I do EE, I always put on weight, so I just stick to green and original days, as they work for me. From advice I have received on this site, if you follow EE, it is important to make sure that you have 1/3 of your meals as super free food at every meal and eat only super free foods in...

Thank you for a great post!!! I have not laughed so much for ages!!!!! The girls in the office think I have totally lost the plot!!!! Soooooooooo glad this is a common trait!!!! Lol! :-) xx

Sometimes we have to go backwards to continue our journey forwards, and looking at your stats, you are a Most at your target. Well don you! Don't give up, just keep chipping away at it. :-D x

Ooooooo!!! I'm gonna have to try this, I do love porridge, but can get bored with it ;-) x

Well done to everyone who has achieved club 10!!!! Can't wait to get mine ;-) xx

Well done!!! I'm trying to be extra good this week, as I want 2 lbs off next week! Xx

At least you have had the guts to do it, I keep looking at mine thinking...... I really must do it, but I'm chicken, as I know there is going to be pain!!!! Well done you! Xx

Hi, on a red day, you use your b choices from the red section - pg 33 and the orange section - pg 22 - 25. Hope this helps and good luck! Xx

Welcome! Don't worry, you are not alone, there are a few people who can't afford to go to class, and you will find a lot of support here, and there are a lot of lovely people on here all with the same aim.... To lose weight. If you have a question, ask... someone will always answer it, not...

The only thing I would add is mix up what you are eating a bit more, as our bodies get used to the same thing and can come to a stand still, so maybe have toast and fruit for breakfast, instead of weetabix and kellogs, also maybe try to reduce your syns to 10 a day and see if that helps. Good...

Butternut squash is similar to pumpkin, but you can boil, roast or bake it. I usually cut it in half, scoop out all the seeds, stuff it with mushrooms and garlic (all raw at this stage), wrap it in silver foil and bake it in the oven @ 180 until it is soft to touch all over. Aubergine is a...

Definitely go back! From previous experience I would stay off that extra week, and I continued to put on! Go back now and face the consequences.... At least you will know exactly what action to take, and you will feel more in control. Good luck! ;-) xxx

Well, my first week on SW, I weighed in and lost 1/2 lb. :-) I am very happy, with that as I had a weekend full of fun and outings, and enjoyed it, so I was not expecting to lose anything! And the best thing is I was going to leave it and only start this week..... But ........ Now I am half a...

Usually, I would say no....., but this is text copyright, so I'm a bit wary....... I'm gonna do some more research on it, as I would like to share some of the inspiration...... So watch this space ;-) x

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely keep them! X

I have some recipe books from other slimming clubs that I used to do, and I was wondering if I should keep them and use my favourite recipes from them, or get rid of them..... An example is a meatball in creamy tomato sauce recipe, it uses, onion, garlic, lean mince and soy sauce for the...

Welcome megygogs. You'll find lots of useful info here and if you have a question, ask..... No question is stupid! And they are a lovely lot on here :-) x

Found some used ones on amazon..... The sayings really lift your spirit if you are down, and make you smile. Would recommend the book if you can afford one. X

A very old book, from many moons ago called the little book of slimming.... And it is filled with loads of inspirational sayings... It was published in 2001 and Margaret Miles-Bramwell is the author, and it cost me £2.50 at the time..... Pity I can't share any sayings, as it would breach...

Hi Tracey83, I like to use my syns on treats in the evening, as I always seem to crave something and this way I get to have my fix. I vary mine between 5 to 10, depending on the treat. Hope this helps x

Welcome BSL11! Good luck with your journey, there is a fantastic group of people on here, answering questions, giving advice and generally helping each other. If you have a question, ask, some-one will always have an answer. Xx

Welcome Tracey83! Keep us updated on your journey. You will find lots of lovely people on here full of good advice and lots of useful information. X

Calisweden, that's great. At the end of the day, we're all here for the same thing, so I don't think it matters which plan you are on, as long as the weight is coming off hey! Keep me posted on how you're doing! Xx

Thanks Shrimpy! Sounds delish!! OH loves HOT stuff, so will love it! Thanks again. X

Depends on which day I am following. On a red day, I'll have something like a tuna salad, and on a green day I'll have a baked potato with beans, with a salad. Super free veg are things like broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, peppers, etc.. So have you just started on SW? I have done it before a...

Shrimpy, do you have a recipe for multi bean speed chilli please?

Well done! Keep it up!! X

Hi Calisweden, I've been okay so far, apart from having a kebab last night, but then I chose a grilled chicken one with lots of salad, no sauces and I didn't eat the pitta! I have found that I struggle every day at around 3pm ...... Don't know why, but I want to eat anything and everything...

That's good to know, I didn't think about the binge factor! I generally tend to use between 5 - 10 a day, and would only usually save up for a special occasion, which very occasionally happen. Thanks again for the advice. X

Thanks! I was wondering, as I had heard about them, but didn't know what it involved. It's good to know, but I would probably just have a good time!! Lol. Thanks again x

Well done hannah28!!! That's brilliant!! X

An anyone explain to me how flexible syns works? I usually save my syns up when I've got something planned, but I was thinking about the times when I haven't!!! Thanks in advance. X

Thank you all for a really warm welcome!!! I must say I did feel nervous when I first joined, but you are all such lovely people!!! Thank you again, and good luck to everyone on their weigh loss journey!! Xx

Hi! I think as long as it's from the super free foods (grapes, melon, carrots), you should be okay. :-) x

Well done!!!! That is fantastic! X

Well, I know I'm not actually contributing to this thread, but I've chosen to stick to alternating red and green day, because I have tried EE before and always put on weight, but just reading what has been said on here has helped me to understand it completely and realise that when I have done...

Yes it was, thanks! I must be more specific when I ask questions, as I forget that all of you can't see exactly what I'm having! Lol thanks again x

Thank you all for the lovely welcome :-) welcome to MB and FMS too :-) :-) x

Doh! Sorry I meant use the spaghetti as HXB! Having a senior moment!! Lol. Thanks ladies x

Thanks. I will make sure that I don't go hungry, got lots of free foods to nibble at :-) x

Thank you. X

An some one please let me know if it is okay not to have a proper lunch? I had breakfast, which consisted of 3 eggs, mushroom and peppers made into an omelette, with a slice of bread (HXB) - I use milk, so that is my HXA, I am having a red day an intend to have spag bolognese for dinner , with...

Online, as I don't have time to go to meetings :-)

Hi, you can't give up now, take a deep breath and look at how far you have come already. You are an inspiration to new starters and rejoiners like myself, who are beginning the journey, as I look at how much you have lost and think, WOW! I hope that is me soon! Ok, so, you are struggling right...

Well, today is going to be my first full day back on slimming world, after joining yesterday and reading my books and generally trying to get to grips with it all. I have done slimming world before, many moons ago, but it was only red and green then, so I am hoping to be on here as often as...

I'm new to this forum and will be doing slimming world. I will be doing it from home on my own, as I cannot afford to go to group. I have managed to get my hands on the book, so just need to read it and get started! I'm still finding my way around, so will appreciate everyone's advice. I have...
