I only ever grill, dry fry or use fry light x

I will switch to leaner meats today, chicken breast and non oily fish and hope that it helps. There's me thinking I'm being so good :-(

Hi all i'm still getting orange oil. This is what I have eaten today. B - Fruit salad with 1/2 muller light L - Salad with 2 chicken drumsticks and 1 chicken thigh (cooked without skin), 1 tbls of extra low mayo D - 2 lean pork steaks with salad and fruit salad snacks 2 slices of ham (4.1g...

I only started on Tuesday. I've been so careful but i'm getting mild symptoms. Is it normal to get the orange in the loo pan? i'm not having accidents but it's still not nice. Only having lean meat and fish, smoked salmon was not successful, but then it's higher than the rules. I'm trying to...

18.10 1/2 now. Getting a bit peed off with the up down up down routine of the scales. 14 weeks till holiday and want to be 16 something :-)

Exercise is good for you, whether you are dieting or not. Anything that makes your heart pump faster is better for your health. However you can do SW and not exercise and still lose weight. But it would be better for you health wise if you do exercise, and if you build more lean muscle in...

Steak, Butternut Squash Chips, Egg, Fried onions, mushrooms and tomatoes cant wait

Yah finally here. Hello everyone (waves). Lost 17 1/2 lbs in 6 weeks. I go to s/w class with my husband who has lost 15lbs. My last two week losses have only been 1lb as I gave up laziness for lent and committed to doing 40 mins exercise every day for 40 days. This is a huge challenge for...

Also have you tried swede mashed with carrot? Or leeks ate very much like onions if shredded.

Have you tried butternut squash made into chips? What salad do you eat? What about cooked mushrooms and tomatoes?

Scan bran warmed in microwave with water, milk and sweetner, topped with blackberries and banana. Very filling and yummy. :D

Are your hexb choices weighed or from the correct loaf of bread? Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Any hidden syns in extra milk, sugar bit of this or that? Although most people could still get a weight loss when you do these things not having so much weight to lose could make a difference.

Does anybody have any good recipes that I can make use of egg yolks please. Many thanks

The disappointment in my children's eyes when I don't go on he rides at the theme park, or the water slides at the water park on holiday, or when they hear someone say something about my size, that's what pushes me.

I agree with above, if it was a slimming world facebook page for that group specifically then it's for members of that group only. Does your new group have a Facebook group you can join?

I soaked scan bran in sweetened warm water overnight topped with fat free natural yogurt with lemon flavour added, chopped kiwi and raspberrys then a muller light coconut with choc sprinkles, spread into 2 dishes.

5lbs off for me this week, so now 20.4 can't wait to be 19 something as not been there forever x

5lb off this week making 13lb in 3 weeks. Also won slimmer of the week and Hubby won the raffle. Really felt embarrassed with sweeping both of this weeks prizes.

Hi can I join. Started 21.3 and down to 20.9 in 2 weeks. Hoping not to hang around too long ;-) x

I use tomato purée, or I take some of the veg out of the soup or stew without the liquid and stick it in the blender and re-add it.

Thanks for your help. I did think it might be about 35 syns. I should be fine, I'm in day 4 since weigh in and only had 12 syns so far this week.

Does anybody have any idea how to syn the follow. 10 ikea meatball Mash (thought it was a better choice than chips) Gravy Red current sauce I've searched and there doesn't seem much info on ikea foods.

You can have all those things on SW too.

My mini goals are 1. To lose 8lbs a month 2. To get to my 10 per cent loss 3. To exercise twice a week

Thank you for all your replies. I'm glad it isn't just me but it is sad that it is such common behaviour. I just got a message from my consultant to say there will be two meetings now, so hopefully some of the talkers will join the earlier class.

Don't turn a bad moment, into a bad day, or bad week or bad month. Face up to the decision you made, go back and read your books, or think about how well you have done and get back on the plan.

It's only my 2nd week, but already i'm feeling a bit narked with people in my class who insist on talking whilst others are talking or those with mobiles that constantly go off. The reason i'm going to class is to get support and learn tips from others and if your there to say your bit you...

Roast chicken, roast pots (with frylight), Broccili, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Carrots, Gravy and 1 Yorkie.... yum yum

There seems to be lots of them not singing from the same song sheet and it makes it so confusing. At least I know those extra syns are there if I need them. I might see how I get on after 1st week weigh in and speak to my consultant again about it before I attempt to have that many. I is good...

I'm new to this too. I would probably cook it then if I got hungry later eat a smaller portion. If you don't eat it you have tomorrow's lunch or dinner sorted.

I was wondering if you all have a few syns each day? or do you save them for weekends or special days. I've had a few each day, but generally i'd like more during the weekend days but wondering if this hinders your w/loss. Has anyone seen a difference if they eat them daily or over a weekend...

Thanks everyone, it would be one hell of a party if I had all those.

She did advise me to use my superfree during and in between meals but said the syns were there if needed. I haven't had anywhere near that and I don't intend to, just thought i'd ask here as never read anywhere else that you could.

I was advised by my SW consultant that I could have up to 25 syns a day as I'm 21st 3lbs. She said it does down to 20 when I'm under 20 and then down to 15 when I get below 16st. Haven't read this anywhere else though.

Hi I started on Weds 21.3lb. Things going well already but wondered if anyone else has been told you can have up to 25 sums a day? X

Honk for day 1 and day 2 and hoping fir good things today on day 3

Hello all I'm joining SW Tuesday evening, but today is my day off from work so I need to do my shop today. I did SW about 5 years ago, and I see there is the new option of EE. I'm just wondering if somebody could please help me. What crispbread/ryvitas can you have as a HE What bread...

This week has been good. Eaten just 3 meals a day with no snacks. Not been hungry once. Am suffering badly with constipation though, need to up my fluids during the day. Weighing in on Sunday but feeling much better already, it's nice going to bed not feeling all bloated and stuffed...

Ok, so had my band fitted on Saturday and I'm so pleased. Ive been so stressed at work today and normally I'd be saying sod it and would have reached into the biscuit tin in the office bug the thought didn't even cross my mind except briefly. When I went through my food and moods with my...

I feel very exhausted after my session today. Feeling very positive and really enjoyed the Session. So here goes x

It's ok Deb's I understand, it is good to have peoples opions good or bad. I'm a nurse, so pretty good at my research and especially when i'm parting with my hard earned cash. I'm feeling a bit nervous but also excited. Feeling possitive. I'm going out for a meal tonight, not an intentional...

Sounds like you have a great therapist, children being ill is so upsetting and staying in hospital is enough to knock anyone over the edge. I'm glad things are looking more positive now.

Hi Goldie i'm glad its going well for you, I like to hear about how everyone is getting on, the positives and negatives, we can all encourage each other.

Thank you for your concern. I am going to follow the instructions recommended as it is advised that those who have followed these have achieved better long term results which is what I want. It's good to hear different perspectives and I have read a variation in the different versions of...

I am due to have my sessions on Saturday. I am having all my sessions on one day. I have been hypnotised a few times and it is a pleasant relaxing feeling and nothing to be fearful of. The procedure itself isn't magic and I think you need to believe it is going to work with a positive...

Excuse the typos, sent that from my phone and have fat finger syndrome!

Hi Debs Yes I have checked credentials and reputation. I also know somebody who has lost an acing amount of weight with her. The diet isn't liquid just soft, and the portions may be smaller meals but healthy and quality. She advocates that the relationship with god won't have the same...

I also preferred Dukan. There is more choice and the second phase gives you variety of having vegetables every other day. Plus I found the side effects were also less but the weight loss the same.

Well done you must be really pleased with that weight loss.

She went into good detail about why these rules are to be followed. I'm pretty addicted to fizzy drinks anyhow, plus as she explained if we overstretch the virtual band we are weakening the effects. I'm glad there are some boundaries, I want to eat healthily and portion control is a huge...

My therapist has said that the best results are obtained by following the same diet and that by keeping portion sizes, consistency, and frequency or eating limited backs up the virtual procedure. But I hadn't read anyone else mention this so thought I would enquire.

Thanks Nats. I have been given advise what to eat. Very soft/sloppy diet for the first three weeks. No more than 3 or 4 depending on what we decide mug fulls of food per day. No fizzy drinks and not to drink 30 mins before or after eating. I think it is very similar to having a real gastric...

Hi all I'm scheduled to have my virtual band fitted on Saturday. I've opted for the whole procedure in 1 day so will be there 6-7 hours. I booked it a few weeks ago and although my therapist could of done it sooner I opted to delay it as I had a few social events to get out of the way plus I...

It is very common with weight loss to trigger gallstone or gallbladder problems. Especially with low carb diets and very low calorie diets, I hope you get them sorted soon

I will try some of these suggestions in z quest for the perfect custard.

It was £560 for me as I've got a long way to go!!!

My custards have turned out like sweet scrambled eggs. I followed the recipe from the book, is this normal or did I do something wrong? Thanks Lisa x

After reading the book I was planning on 7 days attack. Then after checking with true weight and reading this forum I decided to stay with the 5 suggested. There does seem to be quite a bit of conflicting information though, and sometimes it doesn't always make sense that the more you have to...

Having a PP day today. Off work too so need to keep busy. Must admit yesterday was a struggle after the previous days deviation. Shopping is a must later, to fill the fridge and freezer for the week. Need to get some more herbs and spices too, definately have a fancying for prawns in...

Apologies it should have said cruise x

Ok, not a great end to the day yesterday.... I let my resolve slip. Had a child free evening and instead of cooking a nice Dd meal, watching a film that didn't involve Disney or street dance and grabbing an early night I went out with the hubby and ate and drunk lots of items bit on the allowed...

Which vegetables are not allowed on pv? I've seen people mention butternut squash which I couldn't find in book. Help would be appreciated x

My husband made this last night but added fresh finely chopped chillis, it's yummy!

Ooops forgot to mention my bran, having it tonight cooked as a galette as a cheese cake base

Day 5 Day 5 of 5 attack I didn't weigh today. Actually have that heavy feeling. Maybe no transit for a few days isn't helping. I struggled really bad with wanting something forbidden lastnight, I wouldn't say it was a craving it was a wanting. I had a bowl of Jelly and a diet coke. Was...

Day 4 Weight loss at 9lbs. Day 4 of 5 in attack. Menu today Breakfast- porridge made mainly with water, splash of skimmed milk and two soft boiled eggs and chopped turkey rashers. Lunch - smoked salmon and dill yogurt, 2x ff yogurts sweetened. Dinner - lots of steak and prawns. 1 litre...

Hi Maintainer Ff cream cheese should of said soft cheese ie quark. I added a tablespoon mixed with herbs garlic little spring onion and chives to the centres. I'm eating large portions of protein with each meal to avoid snacking too often as generally I was a 10 snack a day person 1 evening...

I'm a little confused how they get their figures. Every other diet i've ever done would like to see me at between 7stone and 8 1/2 stone due to me being slightly challenged with height! Also how does it determine your length of time on attack? I assumed the more you needed to lose the longer...

What does "transit" issues mean? Thanks

I have roasting bags from Lakeland that make any meat/fish just delish! Add all purpose seasoning, garlic granules or dissolve a low salt stock cube in a little water to make a paste rub over and add.

I had seen a few snippets from The Daily Mail some time ago but did not take much notice. Then on Monday I saw a client who was a Dukan convert so I thought why not. I started on Tuesday. I was a bit nervous as I was not very well prepared but a quick trip to Asda and a local health food shop...

As long as it is less than 5% fat I think.

B - Oat Bran porridge made with s milk and sweetner L - Turkey and chilli meatballs D - Turkey steaks wrapped in basil and ham with a ff cream cheese pepper sauce snacks - sf jelly and pieces of tandorri chicken 2 litres of water at least

Hi i'm new to Dukan but not to Minimims. Was a member here many moons ago after following LL. I started Dukan on Tuesday after reading the book cover to cover. Weigh in today after 2 days on Dukan attack is 9lbs :p. Chuffed with that. Will start a Dukan diary, as this will be a great...
