U could be allergic to wheat or gluten. I tried sw before and couldnt lose much weight on it. Realised I was gluten intolerant so therefore all the mugshots pastas bread were ruining my weight loss!! Just a thought!

Well I bit the bullet and went. up 3.5 lbs since May... not too bad but weighing in now at 10.7 and half.. Ive done this before I can do it again! feeling very motivated after just sitting in the class!!!! heres to a good week!!! :)

Hi there! I just rejoined ww today I lost stone a half with ww before then went to sw last Sept and it just didn't suit me at all.

Only seeing your reply now :( how have u been doing? Xx

Boredom.. And the fact that if I have one more biscuit it won't do any harm but one leads to five and so on.. Back on SW today and I'm doing great do far, maybe I just needed a week or 2 off to give myself a good talking to, because at the end of the day, I'm only fooling myself :(

Thanks, I walk half an hour every day and do 2 hours fitness class on Wednesdays and an hour pump and tone class on sat :(

I joined SW in Sept having lost a stone and a half before on WW. I decided to join SW to start something new and get a kick start on my weight loss. I'm 10.2 and wud love to lose half a stone to a stone. I started SW weighing in at 10.3 and got down to 9.11.. Now I'm 10.2 again cos I put 4...

Aw Im so glad to hear that.. I noticed everyone at the meeting had been up and down.. It just seems like a huge amount to put on in a week!! Never drinking Bulmers again, It just completely upset my stomach. Think the Bulmers light is around 7 or 8 syns! I stuck to vodka the next night!! Thank...

So after losing 2 pound Tuesday after Xmas, Ive put on 4 and half pound today! So annoyed that its all caught up but suppose its to be expected. Was really bloated today and all weekend from drinking Bulmers at the weekend, so maybe this has something to do with it. I was only 1/2 pound away...

Ok, so Im slightly addicted to Butlers hot chocolate at the mo, with the cold weather etc! I always get it with skimmed milk, any ideas what the damage syn wise would be with one of these!?!?:cry:

4oz Potatoes 4oz Onion 4oz Leek handful of peas 1 garlic clove sprinkle of tyhme 2 eggs beaten 85ml vegetable stock 84g reduced fat chedder Boil potatoes and mash up, set aside and spray large frying pan with frylight and fry onions, leeks & peas for 6-8 mins. Add the mash, garlic, thyme...

Great advice thanks, really being honest, I dont even want chocolate half the time, when I eat it I think, ah its only small sure I wont put on weight with this little bit, but all those little bits add up to one big bit! Plus with the dark evenings now here I dont even feel like going walking...

Really am struggling with the weekends and S/W, I just cant seem to stay focused.. Sat and Sunday are my downfall, I pick and eat loads of crap and then try be good but I just feel Im letting myself down and I cant loose the weight, Im only in SW since Sept but have only lost 2 pounds in that...

U really need to be motivated to start, think how u will feel in couple of weeks after losing a few pounds.. just walking 15 mins a day can really help and also preparation is the key!! :)

Dont give up.. Broke my heart to read ur message. I remember back in 2008 I was a bridesmaid for my cousin, and was 11st 12, didnt think anything of it until I had a fitting for the dress and the dress maker told me I needed to lose a few pounds, then the dress wouldnt fit on the day and the...

Lost 2lb on tues so really happy with that :)

I would like to know how everyone manages going out at the weekend?? :)

How u do guys manage on a night out?? I just realised that a bottle of Bulmers light is 8 syns, thats really only 2 drinks for my full 15 syns per day!!!! :( How do u all manage?? It seems impossible :(

Think its just cos its the first one, everyone is always good on week one and they lose loads, I dont want to be the one that gains on the first week :8855:

So today is my first weight in on SW... Im kinda scared, had a great week then Sat came and I was at a party, had crisps, nuts, chicken curry, 6 bottles bulmers light and 2 glasses of wine, Sunday was not much better, with a few snacks thrown in for good measure... Im so afraid now today, I was...

I feel the pain! This is my first week at SW and I had a party to go to on Sat night, didnt drink too much... 6 bottles Bulmers light 2 glasses of wine.. danced all night :) But Yday was a lil bit of a disaster with snacks, went well over my syns... WI tomorrow was doing so well up until Sat...

Anyone know what the syn value is for a miniuture twirl and McDonnells super noodles chicken flavour?? Thank u!! :)

Hi, can anyone tell me how many syns if any are in the mcdonnells chicken super noodles?? Says noodles are free in SW but not sure if these are or not! Please help!! thanks!! :)

Just feel a bit guilty! really need to start planning my day better!!! :)

Just wondering how many people use their 15 syns per day? Im on 12 already! I feel guilty, didnt really plan my day as this is my first day on the plan!!! Help!! :(

Thanks for all the really useful tips, I have a bbq this sat and im sooo scared I will mess up my first week on SW... temptation everywhere!! If I try be really good on Sunday hopefully I can overcome it.. :sigh: SW is a really good way to stop me snacking so much, not like weight watchers where...

This site really is a help only discovered it yday! Well done on your run its a huge achievement... Dont give up, We all know what we want its just a matter of putting 100% into it.. quick question, what happens when you have a night out? How do the syns work then cos I wont be able to stick to...

Well I bit the bullet last night and went to my first slimming world class, very impressed, could not believe how nice and supportive everyone was! Looks like I wont be doing much snacking! The syn points are quite high on all the things I like but this could be a huge positive!!! Cant wait to...

Best of luck!! Im joining SW this evening! Kinda nervous, been on Weight Watchers 3 yrs but stuck on my weight for over a year very frustrated and just need a new change and outlook on things, Hopefully I wont find it too much of a change and that I can stick to the plan!! :)

This always happened me.. Id weight in at home and be raging with myself but I would have lost then at WI.. bet you have lost something!! :)

Thanks for all the support everyone! This site is brilliant for info and support, I think I will be on this quite a bit!! Glad to hear other people had similar problems with WW, just had my final WI with WW just to see if I put on anything, up a pound but not surprised with all the crap I ate...
