Hi, these are ok but nothing like the air fryer. they are basically a halogen oven with hot air. so they cook things at higher heat but way faster. rather than the fried taste x

puffed wheat are sugar puffs without the sugar....not as nice but definitely a change from fartabix

Lou wowzers nursing !! our paths may cross then ? ha can you imagine how weird that would be if you were on placement and we met??

Bev, can I just say you are the most supportive person ever. I suspect because people are too busy to spend time knowing the groups they join they wont know that x x

annya that made me laugh !! I do like quorn but dislike those lamb strips...eeeeeeuuuuuuuugggh they are not worth the flatulence

yeah and me !!! although i hate to think what I may have inadvertantly eaten pre veggie days and what I may have given to my son (BBQ burgers etc).

quorn makes me fart!!!

and yeah i weigh loads when i am doing plyometric stuff it loads my legs big time and they are muscley like a geezers then

thats difficult to manage latte! soy isnt free? Lou, i will try with you....if someone could market the ovulation munchies they would earn a fortune. nothing but wrong food will do at that time no matter how hard i try. fingers crossed bev is off the loo soon LOL

bev you star!! you deserve that loss lady, reading thru your posts you look after everyone your almost the tortoise mummy. i really think that you have the right idea with the snacking rule, and i know lou has always given that advice as well. and i am so with you ont he carbs thing as...

latte !! well said hunny I am so pleased someone has said it out loud (as did the lovely pommette). I agree the people who only check in to share a loss and do nothing else have always irritated me big time. posting a loss is welcome but when they only post about themselves is not welcome. like...

it is freezing !!!

welcome new bods!! keep going and be honest about what your eating and monitor portion sizes-never guess your allowances and try mix up red/green/EE to see what works for you. or you can do it my way and drink alot of wine (well it goes to my head lou so its not as much these days) and pretend...

lou i havent stayed on plan-entirely inexcusable tho ! i remember the cuplrits of "me me me me me me" from before. pom is right tho-its those who post a loss (of any size) and never ever post anything else? when otrhers congratulate them as well. no words of support or naff all. i missed you...

go lou lou !!!!!

latte it is a challenge indeed, just keep your eyes on the goal of recovery first and foremost-you need to be in a position of optimum health to tackle your weight. bare that in mind when berrating your self. you will need to make sure tho that you eat a low salt diet at all times-steroids make...

ooooh sorry no i meant body pump

lou I have a dvd of it if you want it? I used to teach it so have the instructional ones of the classes if they would be any good? ah poor Annya gains are pants...

is it snowing??? jeez ! lou have you ever done body pump? they have cracking squat and lunge combinations. youtube it

annya is right. SQUATS and lunges with some plometric options thrown in

nice to see you back latte, chrohns is rotten but you have been so fed up with all your hospital visits and unknowns it may help you pick up the pieces again. steroids are harsh tho-especially as they can alter your tastes and food intake as well! and its lovely to see you old schoolers are...

hey girlies!! the in and out girl just checking in to say hi. Yet again i am off the wagon and gaining...hence why i have been quiet. i guess i cant face it either my heads not in the right place to focus on losing. i start well and give in. anyway i will try post more i miss catching up with...

annya thats so scarry for you! you should have rung an ambulance when you couldnt relieve the pain with GTN, a hospital admission WILL speed up the tests

well done trash and teamnasher keep it up

its okay to not cope with things Lisa, its such a shame its all getting to you. once your meds help you you may see things a bit clearer. Its horrible when that dark cloud hangs over everything you do, and your nearest and dearest do not understand. my mum used to say "how are you" and "yeah but...

wowzers charl, you really deserve a good pat ont he back for your hard work x i do wonder how many of us actually do slimming world anymore? i think i will stick with it with less carbs/smaller portions. I cant get the pyschology of 321 calories per day!!?? but maybe thats where i am going wrong...

oh buggar it seems soup is THE way forward LOL

this looks interesting Tinned Tomatoes the 5:2 diet and johnsons look similar in theory tho and yeah search the johnsons diet section on here latte

ooooooo the johnsons diet? just had a quick look...it says on my down day i can only have 390 calories????? how on earth do i do that?? is anyone watching the hairy bikers mission to lose weight programme? that had me in stiches watching it on catch up !!

oh and i gained a 1lb but thats fine with me

charl what is your daily eating plan like?

thanks charl, as long as you are okily dokily with it all and not too miserable?! LOL

lisa never ever ignore yourself! its worrying you but you have eaten it now and it wasnt a massive sin fest was it? pasta will be brken down and discarded allot easier than other foods. just get back to your comfort zone hun because there isnt anything you can do. regarding the pregnancy tummy...

twit twooooooo on the wedding outfit! brave lady posting photos, well done you look great. did you have dreds before? men are odd arent they with their compliments? that was a very big compliment annya but he could have said it better, my chap is really good at saying negatives but never says...

oh annya i laughed out loud that they were your scales next door !!!!!

soooooooooo happy she is fine and lipomas are so common in older doggies! as for jumping on the scales, ignore them they may not be accurate and weighing in on different scales can mean your weight is different-go try your trusty scales for comparison if you need or just accept a punishment for...

annya how is lilly??

oh annya, she will be fine and i will be thinking about you. lou, which consultant is it at Hull? just curious as we work with the consultants and nurses there and who on earth is on holiday for 2 months?? welcome back pommy, and well done of the chocolate digestive diet !! if it works i may...

charl its like your reading my mind!!

go charl !!!!! you are always welcome here

charl, I love what you said its true! carbs are like crack

yeah lisa i cant seelife without them, i eat way too many! lou I can put olives/capers/coriander/anything in my sald but my head wont let me stop thinking about the jacket potato that goes with it, or pasta salad or rice salad. I believe in my head i need carbs at every meal!

i have had a massive earth shattering realisation this weekend....i cant get past needing carbs! its bonkers because i know i need some carbs but i simply cant get my head around losing some in my diet. Its like the soup thing, why would i have 'just' soup ? if i had salad i would be looking for...

not always mate, only if the bowel is protruding thru do they operate. you get a lovely truss or support pant to wear LOL

oooooooooo have you got a hernia maybe???

Lou you may just be ovulating and have constipation maybe??? best to get it checked because it could be appendix, cyst etc etc well done charl !! working a treat for you like it is for Lisa huh? annya that must be a pleasent surprise stopping the hormones and losing weight.

LISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!! well done matey!!! see you know what works for you, less snacks and less carbs. get the drinks in, when pom gets back you are so in trouble

go try your bikini on again hunny, how does it make you feel? i am guessing you maybe someone who needs a reason tho lose weight. your holiday was a major influence and one that made you work hard. sometimes you just have to have a word with yourself because you should want to do it for you not...

I am in some disagreement with you charlie, it doesnt educate about portion sizes nor does it limit carbs really. I find that frustrating because It doesnt tell you that you have to exercise some control over eating carbs all day long. i gained weight when i first started because of poor...

tryingtolose, you will feel bad but use that negative feeling to get right back on it. as for your mum....why do people think they can sabbotage others wishes??? you are sacrificing your wishes in favour of your mums. Lisa is right, who feels worse for eating off plan? you do my love, surely it...

is tuesday your weigh in day Lou? has that changed?

2lb off for me!

tryingto lose, what can you do if it does show a gain?? just get back on it hun, you cant change things now the food went in ha ha ha! honestly stop berrating yourself you ate off plan and you know why you may get a gain. back to it and drink plenty of water

family planning clinics are better for these things

fair enough chuck!

awwwwwwwwww Lou thats tough!! lets hope they find the problem and it sint what you fear? I am not surprised your feeling emotional. annya well done on your loss and thanks for thinking about my boy! antibiotics, steam and two hourly inhalers are making less wheeze....at the moment but he is so...

morning! doing okay today but have a poorly little 2 year old today. all wheezy and chesty poor bubba

i will also miss you bev !!

I have to disagree, i am not looking for anything else but weight loss (well i wasnt i am within target now but maintaining is hard) long life, health, sexiness etc etc are not linked to my drive to lose weight. None of those things are gained by losing weight, you dont automatically become...

why are you banning the term weight loss hun? my aim isnt to gain health, it was purely and simply to lose weight.

latte why wont you eat before you go out? can you not just say you have to eat before you go out? and why would you make her feel bad? your actually saving her feelings against honouring your own hun, by not mentioning your current eating plan to save her feelings you are jeapordising your own...

latte why wont you eat before you go out? can you not say you need to eat before you go out?

as ever i mean everything with the best intentions and i hope my empathy/support etc arent lost in my typing!!!

thats what i meant lou,i think i said if you feel you cant make the choices not to support your weight loss (and you splurge) there is no point blaming others/yourself and berrating yourself etc you made the choice you wanted to do it.

you need to eat to burn calories, you have a higher metabolism after exercising so you do need good calories putting back. latte its a loss not a gain so enjoy it and enjoy your friends visit, if you cant make choices to support your weight loss then just enjoy it and re coup the damage later...

there is a bit of research, dont know how credible it is about it lowering its effectiveness. VITEX AGNUS-CASTUS: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions and Warnings - WebMD

if agnus cactus is a hormone stabiliser and the pill is (apparently) used to rebalance hormones would they cancel the pills effectiveness?? if you take the pill that automatically alters your natural hormones doesnt it? adding in agnus cactus to rebalance something artificial would possibly lead...

I wont lie.....it was painful to go in but once in (my tilted womb kept pushing it out LOL) it has been great! last time i had it it was great with regular periods and with a normal flow and everything. i think i am very lucky by the sounds of it. happy birthday Lou Lou !! your posts are...

awwwwwww thats a shame, i also have a retroverted womb and certain positions my bf can feel it but it works so well for us otherwise. what a shame for you

its not odd its wonderful mother nature, prior to your period coming your body retains fluids and fat to prepare for pregnancy it thinks pregnancy will happen so retains water in the middle to supply the pelvis with all the nutrients etc for conception. then when you dont get pregnant it all...

I had the coil fitted and it worked brilliantly for me, that was also before i had my little boy-i didnt get pregnant on it tho LOL ! just saying even if you hadnt had children they can still be fitted...the good old copper one with no hormones on

i gained with microgynon but it doesnt mean you will. lets face it tho ALL oral contraceptives make you gain weight because they trick your body into believing you are pregnant! horrible things they are but that is how they stop you getting pregnant

hello !! yeah not bad-slipping of fthat wagon but i cant moan i chose too !! did i miss your birthday lou? happy birthday xx

wow so mcu to read and catch up on !!

ah thanks, for some reason I thought you said it was £3 !! ha ha

lou where did you find your other book so cheaply?? its about £10 ish online..sulks

can i join in the insecure group please? i hate how i look and also focus on negatives more than positives! and i have wine lol

ha ha ha rosie, but is nine stone a healthy weight at five five?

lou, thinking about it more and more LOL maybe you also had a great deal of pressure (upon yourself) to be the "thinner Lou" and maybe you had massive expectations of yourself as "slimmer you" as in you will be "happy" you will be "able to get that job" (insert the challenge) etc etc do you know...

hi rosie, what height are you ? you lok slim and tall!!

and go charl !!!!

annya well done !!!!!!!!! lou you are heading for change hunny, you have entered a phase of life with a weight you never thought you would see! you have let go of a part of the old you and are heading to new things!maybe your a bit scared to lose the old you, but remember you havent changed its...

Latte if you have to eat out and really can't limit the damage you have to just accept that and accept what may happen. Or you can meet others or socialise away from food ? or eat before you go out to limit the damage .I know they may be hard and if that's the case there is nothing that you can...

Lou its the not sure if this will help. . .its on the main page for sw and it's down the page. They are swearing blind lemons are a good weight loss tool. It's interesting! Too much ascribing acid can make you poo badly tho!

nice one lou!! have you girls read the lemons thread?????

the cynic in me says " its the increased amount of fluids you are drinking that increase your losses" it says "no it cant work" "too much vit c and you are peeing for england because your body eliminates it this way=causes dehydration" "too much vit c causes indegestion/nausea/headaches/runny...

is it just me but....soup is a starter for me ! i think i have a mental problem with accepting soup as a meal LOL it doesnt matter what is in it its still soup in my head

latte do you have to eat out ?

oh buggar latte!! where are you eating out ?

ferrets are sweet to look at ? i didnt know they could be domestic tho ! bless

if anyone would like me to interpret my spelling just ask ha ha ha !!

i think lou likes to monitor it unoficcially to perpare herself

ha ha ha ha !!! i cant do minimins with my iphone

lou ???? no way ??? are you okay? lisa I would say reduce carbs or reduce your eggs but definitely mix it up! if you drop two things you wont know which is better for you will you? did you get betetr results because of the eggs or the carb reduction? I suspect it would be the carb reduction...

great posts lou! you should become a counsellor. I lost a lb which is a step in the right direction. albeit a slow step LOL pommy are you okay with your stings? that must be scarry??? keep going lou the change in your approach is mega, i must get that book! Lisa I agree on the carbs front...

lisa definitely cut down on the eggs, they also bung you up and retain water which wont help. mix and match hunny! latte, so pleased to hear your back on there! you were very brave to post how you felt, good luck. acc sounds like me with gain/loss hello annya!!

lou what was that book you mentioned to get ? and you star getting under 10 stone !!!!!!!!!!! yay yay! Char thats also a great achievement you must be proud and inspired now? hello pommy x x

Yeah back on it !! And well done on resisting lou

Latte speaks kind honest words and you need to try and hear what she is saying, it's not going to be an easy read but she is right. I remember your portion sizes being big, your mid understanding of herrings lol and your use of your extras in meals that you ate out. Then you gained on holidays...

I bet you feel better??

lou you are a star!

hello again.......the lovely lou lou has got me back on track (thanks). I know that I keep coming and going but apart from life being crap I have been avoiding things. So by not logging in and reading posts etc i could pretend my weight wasnt going up!! and it has gone up and I am 4lb off target...

welcome back sl!inky and Lisa you are also going to get it when pom gets back *cracks cane on hand* get your bank loan in mate, that is allot of drinks to buy

thats not right surely ??? jeez!! am well jel but concerned! I am also concerned for your welfare on the naughty step !! thats a severely punishable crime

Lou i wasnt a fan of the flowery number and darenot say!! the blue one is gorgeous on you !!! schmoking!!!

what kind of dress is it ? i look awful in fashion at the moment LOU! just make sure its the style that doesnt flatter you rather than you being too harsh on yourself!

POMMY !!!!!!!!!?????????? you star you !!! now get out there and get me a drink (a bottle of your finest champagne is punishment enough). blimey that is impressive lady *shocked, happy and jealous face*

bradgirl having a quick look at your diary it looks okay to me, i always say with diaries are you being 100% truthful? not you that is, everyone! i dont always write everything down LOL because if i dont write it down i didnt eat it !! ha ha ha seriously, your fruit cake and eating out may have...

oh welcome new peeps!! lou i only siad what i said because i genuinely care, glad i didnt offend you. sorry to hear about your side effects from the tablets?? incontinence ?? thats a side efefct too far huh? what drug was it ? glad you lost 2lb tho !! woot woot get the drinks in... talking of...

my worry lou is.....when you get into your dress (and you will) you will be happy and at your target weight.....but you cant sustain the lower calorie intake for ever and when you begin to up the calories the weight may go up again and you are going to be overly harsh with yourself about...

rant away, you are always so helpful and kind to everyone else you have to get that support back! It is a challenge isnt it 'maintaining' because it then becomes normal to eat a bit more of 'this and that' and wham your 2lb heavier (yes that is me) the success as ever is recognising you need to...

stressed....mega stressed and stressed. but thanks for asking! major problems with finances are taking its toll on me/family/life etc. but you seem chipper at the minute so that is brilliant to see!

Good for you Lou! Lisa I hate those days as well but I tend to allow myself something I crave because I give in and often don't want it then!

well done lou ! x

i wish i had time to run.....it always helped me keep trimer when i jumped around in classes etc

lou stick to sw hun!

you would lose allot of weight with undiagnosed diabetic (well you generally do lose allot of weight before its diagnosed) LOL. but its always worth testing your pee as everyone is different

pommy is so right Lou, and i agree you need to do what is right for you. Opinions are just that but circumstances are all so very different to everyone. dont get me started on religion and god ! my opinion and what I believe would offend godly types....

welcome!! 2lb aint a slow loss tho its a mega loss around here!!!

the thing is tho, you dont have any periods whilst taking the pill, even if you have your week off that is a withdrawl bleed (drop in hormones=blood loss) the pill convinces your brain ts pregnant so you dont even ovulate, so you dont have periods at all (which doesnt feel right to me)...

go lou lou go lou lou !!

friggin hell acc !!!! wowzers !!

thankyou lou lou and flablulous !! xx

checking in again, i know you have missed me (NOT) and am not sure i can possibly catch up with things now!! a creeping 2lb gain has slapped me in the face it seems the "off plan gorge eating habits" are not to be endorsed. i wish you girls and guys lived nearer you could come to my pole...

well done to losers and hugs to those who gained x

that is EXACTLY where i am hunny ! hence why i am also quiet around here

i heard it wasnt true! its more about the smoking point with olive oil. it simply cant get to a high temperature before it burns, but the stuff in fry light is manufactured and altered anyways so it doesnt seem as pertinent really

oh and we all know, low carbs =faster weight loss. but that message doesnt sell it well does it ??? eating recipes with mega amounts of carbs sells-and mega amounts of carbs means slower weight loss for some (but not all) so i guess what i am saying is, whilst it doesnt make sense for SW to...

well, i agree yeah but, many people do misinterpret the concept of EE and those people are the ones that take longer to lose. they spend more weeks trying (including me) SW is very psychologically driven-they know how to sell and market it. telling people who wish to lose weight they can eat...

no it wasnt.......it takes longer to explain the red/green plans and makes weight loss slower on EE kerrrching *money pot*

I agree completely, i also think financially SW gain more from people being on EE.....especially those of us who splurge on carbs and actually gain weight!

les thats not actually too bad is it? what are you going to do?

oh hell yeah, the salad rules were not easy either ( i forgot about those)

why dont i do EE ????? because its not "easy".....because i eat "extra" and you only have one healthy extra A and B. Having the freedom of two healthy extra A and B is more rewarding.

lisa that is devastating news, i am so sorry xx

LOL

latte, i have to ask if you weight your hex 's (your cheese). There does seem allot of cheese on your pictures thats all, and i know when i cook and use cheese it always looks very dissapointing because there isnt that much! your food pictures are great by the way. when eating out i wouldnt...

doh !!! sorry

your syns need to be taken daily, 3 syns is maybe not ideal for you to lose effectively. 10-15 per day is reccomended to optimise losses, i know you had a blow out but still i believe they need to be a daily allowance

whats your typical food intake per day, what do you eat and which plan are you following (EE, red or green). You are berrating yourself too soon hun, give it time

maybe your body is not able to lose any more and is trying to tell you its not playing. but i do empathise as I know the feeling of pre/post pregnancy weight changes, its traumatic i tell ye!!

acc is it harder to follow WW? are you going alone with WW or just VLCD? I am interested to know what the challenges are with it as many people 'go to the dark side' LOL good luck peeps! I have STS (thank god) I had a full on weekend on the booze and actually didnt drink last night (shock...

lou you poor lovie !!! sorry you gained. ac how is weight watchers going for you? what do you find easier or harder??? well done annya! go pommete (you have made me laugh with the poo reference) rkm i would say that was a stay the same week especially if you fart !! lisa keep going...

i LOVe wine, did you know that ??? .........

lesley thats not so bad is it ?? it could have been allot worse. just get back on plan and you will recover your losses again. welcome shelster !

thankyou x x x

latte, kate and greedy guts well done !! woot woot partaaaaaaaay time you girls. I will be there as an escort even tho i (fortunately) stay the same each week.

Lisa, that sounds like my weekend to a tee!! you can get back on plan hun, honestly you can. It is very easy to slip especially in public celebrations or family occasions, just make sure the slips dont go past a few days and you can get back x

lisa you will find it again, honest ly you actually get fed up of eating off plan! are you eating badly as well or just off plan? i know this feeling so well, my weekends are shockers again...but luckily i am maintaining so its currently a big relief (but i wouldnt reccomend it)

a short comment probably says more than waffling or skirting around the issues. you arent following plan (sorry if thats too short)

that aint normal......

flabulous hugs to you !! xxx annya well done !! you are to go to the norty step NOW *points finger*

les try not to tell him off too much! i know you were worried etc but i am sure he had to deal with his loss in his own way, and i hope he has a hang over today!!

its very interesting that you have so many of you with PCOS !? is it reassuring to know it can impact your weight loss (it seems to make it a zilliion times harder for you)
