I'm having boiled potatoes, sweetcorn, chicken escalope with a low fat coleslaw and hope I don't go over my calories :-/

Day 1 for me again too:wave_cry:

£2.99 a tin:) So I bought 2 to start :D

I have lost 4ibs:D Really pleased with that, have joined the Hilton Health Club too and have been alternating swimming with the gym daily. Really enjoying it but it's my birthday weekend coming up so with the eating and drinking I don't expect to lose anything next week! lol

Thanks everyone :) Had a good first day and now im all fired up :D

I could kick myself, I was doing so well but as usual life in general starts getting you down and you fall off the wagon, totally unintentionally. So back on the slim fast today, already had my strawberry shake for breakfast. My trousers are starting to feel really tight on me now so enough is...

I'm loving it, I go to the gym on a Tuesday and Thursday and try and do the wii fit every other day - really enjoying the combination of both :)

3 ibs off this week :)

Oh yeah totally more motivated now, definately seeing a difference now. Did a few things differently, stopped snacking on the slimfast chocolate bars and opted for low fat yogurt and fruit instead. Didn't go to the gym at all last week though as it was TOTM but did the Wii fit 3 times last...

Yes I'm really pleased, got to be careful now not to tip the balance back.

Yay!! Finally gone under the 20 stone mark :D

In the week I tend to go on the wii fit when I get in from work (around 6.30ish), this is usually the time I sit down for food. So time I finish and have a shower, I'm not sitting down to have something to eat until about 8.30 ish and then I can't finish it. Am I doing this right or is it...

I bought the Tony Fergerson shaker today as well, usually I measure up in the measuring jug, whisk it and then pour it into a cup but the lumps are erghhhh!!!!!

Aww no, it's really disheartening isn't it? I'm even on the Wii fit on the days when I dont go to the gym and am still the same!!!

Thanks guys for your support, it has been a tough week with exercising and dieting and nothing seems to be coming off at the moment which is really frustrating!!!!

Feeling really down today as well, just came back from the gym, that's all was going through my head all the session was "i can't do this, i can't do this":cry:

Put on 2ibs this week:sigh: Not surprising really with it being bank holiday weekend and the sunny weather being out and about eating and drinking!!

Into week 2 of the gym and loving it, feel so good coming from there.

Yeah I've bought some ready meals which I put in as soon as I get home, instead of me having a piece of toast.

I've dieted in the past without exercise, you do lose but I find the longer you go without no exercise the harder it gets.

Lost 3ibs this week:)

Feeling a bit better today, only had a piece of toast when I got home last night and had 2 glasses of rose. That was my treat. lol. Bit disturbed that I haven't had a balanced meal in 2 days, I just dont feel hungry but I am doing a pasta bolagnaise tonight and am soo looking forward to that.

I felt like that yesterday! It was a bad day. Everything didn't seem to make sense and felt it was me against the world. Feeling a bit better today. I know exactly how you feel though, I've lost nearly a stone in 2 weeks and I'm so chuffed with that. Just want to shift this 3ibs now and...

Yeah I'm just going to do that, I have been so good and not in a position where I feel like I want to have something really naughty because I know I will feel like crap afterwards.

Great news that I had lost weight this morning but all of a sudden now am feeling really down. Really not enjoying my lunchtime shake at all! In fact I don't even think that I can finish it. Got a banana for a snack. Stuck in work on a gorgeous day while the rest of the office is out on the...

B - Strawberry Shake L - Strawberry Shake S - Banana D - Pasta with chicken in pasta sauce.

Thanks everyone:D

Yes it was one hell of a nice surprise I tell you! Just got to lose another 3 ibs and then I've lost my first stone!

Weighed again this morning, I know I shouldn't but I have lost 3ibs since yesterday!! Argh I love this feeling:eek:

Well done!!!! You go girl!:D

I'm the only woman in an office too, but it's a small group, only work with 4 guys and 2 of them are my bosses! lol

Today's selections are: B - Cafe Latte Shake (getting a bit bored of these so will finish up and get a new one soon) L - Strawberry Shake D - Weight Watchers Beef Hotpot with extra veg Got no snacks with me today, will see how I go. Only had one snack yesterday, I seem to be missing them...

Legs are absolutely killing me this morning after doing the sports active workout on the wii last night! Phew. I think I used muscles I never knew I had!! Got the gym this afternoon as well, but like they say no pain no gain I suppose! lol

I work in a small office and it don't bother me that people know that i'm on slimfast, my boss has been on it previously and he lost weight. They are all very supportive in the office, well until one of them came in with a burger king meal the other day:D

I had my doubts in the beginning but it really does work! I lost half a stone in my first week and starting to exercise as well now! The shakes really do keep you going through the day and one main meal fills you up, sometimes I don't even finish it all!

Excellent well done!! It's such a great feeling losing weight:)

Had my 1st weigh in this morning and have lost 7 ibs

Today meals: B - Strawberry Shake L - Lemon Meringue Shake (Lush) S - Fresh Strawberries D - Tesco Healthy Eating Chicken with veg

Sorry haven't done any entries last few days, life catching up with me and all! I've had a great start to the week, joined a gym yesterday and had my 1st weigh today and have lost half a stone! So pleased with myself and I'm feeling I got all this energy, can't say I have felt like this...

Oh I love chinese food, and love pizzas even more!! lol

I've tried it but wasn't all that keen on it

Think it's going to be a while before I try spinning!! lol

Well done!!!!:D

Thanks guys! I am going to pick up the Sports Active game for the Wii today as well until I get the wii plus on Monday. Feeling so energetic it's scary!!!:D

Thought Monday was official weighing day but no it's Tuesday! lol Anyway, I have lost 7ibs!!! I am soo chuffed:D This is the incentive I need to keep going:)

It was good, started off on a warm up on the cross trainer for 10 minutes, the 20 minutes on the treadmill and finished with 10 minutes on the exercise bike. I really enjoyed it, would have done more if I hadn't had to fill in some induction forms but raring to go now on Wednesday.

Today has been good so far: B - Cafe Latte Shake L - Strawberry Shake S - Chocolate Caramel Bar D - Weight Watchers Chilli & Wedges with a side salad.

yay that's great! I haven't weighed today, keeping it until tomorrow morning, had my first session in the gym today so hoping that's gonna give me brownie points!

Well I'm back and my god I think I'm dying!! :D

Surprisingly looking forward to it, got my induction today at 1pm! Wish me luck peeps!!!!!!!:wave_cry:

Thanks guys, yes I was well chuffed that I survived, well for now;) Ooh Coops when is your bday and what you got planned? I work in Cardiff but live in Pontypridd

I will definately have to invest in a Wii Fit I think!

I usually weigh first thing in the morning, does everyone else do the same?

That's so great! My official weigh in is tomorrow:)

Today is sort of looking like this for me: B - Strawberry Shake L - Not sure whether it will be a shake or slim fast bar (aint decided yet) S - Bowl of salad and/or fruit salad prepacked while I watch Avatar this afternoon. D - Low fat chicken dinner with extra veg on the side. That's the plan...

Went to Cardiff shopping yesterday with my son, was dreading it but he wanted to spend his birthday money (he was 8 two weeks ago) and we always have yummy but deadly lunches! He wanted to go to pizza hut so in we went, gosh I was so good!! Well I thought;) Matthew had garlic bread to start...

Yeah was a tesco cottage pie and boiled up some carrots and peas. Only ate half. Did a small oven pizza last night, and a bowl of salad, only could manage one slice of pizza but ate the salad no problem. Had 2 shakes today (breakfast and lunch) and only one snack (sgf choc caramel bar) and...

I'm terrible with weighing, a bought a new weighing scales on Monday when I started the diet and I weigh everyday! I've lost 4ibs since Monday which I am really pleased about but official day is Monday! lol. Also got my first session in the gym on Monday so with the slim fast and the...

Yes I'm the same, I never hit the 5 a day mark either. Usually have fruit for snacks and salad or veg as a side dish with my main meal.

I'm the same, ideally I want to lose at least 4 stone, I've joined a gym now in a 12 month contract so that is esentially my goal. I doubt if I will ever reach it but I'm gonna give it a good try:)

I've been on slimfast now since monday and I am struggling now to finish a meal. Been two nights in a row where I have been unable to finish my food. Does anyone else have this problem?

Couldn't finish another meal last night, cooked a small pizza and prepared a bowl of salad, had one slice of pizza but couldn't eat the rest but cleaned off the salad!!

yeah I picked up some weight watchers frozen meals yesterday, they are only £1 in tescos at the moment so bargain. The one I had last night, I couldn't even finish and it wasn't even that much, my stomach was hurting so left half of it.

That's a brilliant website for calories!! Thanks :D

It's going good so far, been a great week, although wasn't feeling too good yesterday with the headaches and felt so tired, but that was done to my early start. I had cottage pie with carrots and garden peas last night and had an early night as I was totally worn out after it. Anyway, Day 3...

That's the thing about bad days, you get with it and forget about it. We all get them, I'm sure I will have a few before the month is out:D

Yeah drinking plenty of water! They don't stay for long, just come and go.

Well had my strawberry shake, on the lemon and lime water for a change this afternoon. Even joined the gym at lunchtime, well signed up for it anyway, induction and programme on Monday. Been having a few headaches this morning and now another one, off and on, anyone else experienced this...

I joined the gym today, 12 month contract and paying £27.50 a month dd so gonna make sure I go at least 3 times a week - at least!!! My induction is on Monday.

Yay congrats:clap:

Oh that's good, I picked one up in Tescos last night, Tesco Finest Aberdeen Angus Cottage Pie, will fill up with veg on the side as well.

Well here I am Day 2, been up since 5am downloading LOST which took ages this morning so managed to go back to bed for an hour, awoke up at 6 and it still wasn't done! Arghhh. Thought I would be starving but I surprisingly wasn't! I love this diet so far:D Anyhoo, I finally sat down at 6.45...

Well my main meal consisted of pasta with chicken and one of the small jars of tomato and garlic pasta sauce. It was well gorgeous. Considering it was the first meal I had eaten all day, I was surprisingly stuffed and didn't do as much pasta as I usually do but I cleared off the lot. I'm...

Yes there were tins of Caffe Latte in Tescos, 2 for £7 so snapped them up! That's breakfast for me. I will try them with ice too, yummy:D

I'm going to be joining a gym tomorrow, I work in cardiff so aiming to do an hour a day 3 times a week. Well the thought is there:D

Yeah that's all I been doing with drinking all this water today! lol Well I had a glass of lemonade with my meal, very nice it was too.

Can you drink pop on slim fast? Been drinking water all day and fancy something different tonight

Hi Everyone Well it's my first day on the SF diet and to be honest, it's not as bad as I thought. I thought it would be hunger pangs all day but I'm not feeling anything! Considering what my usual day consisted of which was; full fat coffee from Cafe Nero usually with some toast or biscuits...

Yes that's what kind of gave me the incentive to try the diet in the first place. Do they do cafe latte in the tins? I had the shake for lunch today and it was lovely!!!

Ideally I want to lose about 4 stone but that is going to take ages, I've lost up to a stone in a month on conventional diets like WW and just basically cutting down so I am hoping to acheive the same. I'm having my lunchtime shake now, cafe latte, it's really nice and I'm going to have a...

Thanks for that Carol, how long have you been on it for?

Can you eat ready meals on slim fast? Of course providing they are 600 cals or less

Hi Everyone I've started today!! So need lots of support. I can't see me sticking to it to be honest but will give it a go.

Hi Guys Trying slim fast today for the first time, having a strawberry shake for breakfast chocolate shake for lunch and some grapes for snacks. Struggling to think of a 600 cal main meal for later, was thinking of pasta, tuna and sweetcorn.

took the plunge and rejoined tonight, so have been reading up on the Discover Plan and have been making my shopping list.:D Really excited at getting started tomorrow. :D

Thanks for all your support you guys, I'm planning my menus tonight and will be back on track.:)

Didn't go last week as I had a chest infection and didn't really stick to the plan as I was feeling so ill so just ate stupidly really and I have put on 5.5 Ibs!!!! Didn't think it would have come on like that ! My god!!! In 2 weeks????? It's also TOTM as well:sigh: which isn't good.

Oh no!!! How come???

Hi Skinny - hope you're feeling a little better now. Don't beat yourself up as we all got to have a blow out now and again - I know that better than anyone!!!! I weighed this evening and lost 4Ibs.

I LOST 4IBS!!!! :bliss:

Will be heading down for my first WI soon and am hoping and praying that I have lost more than 1Ib!! Will be back later to give you all the update:hide:

I used cheese as one of my healthy extras yesterday

4.5 syns each? Not bad. I'm on red today and can't decide between one of those or some gammon - may be the latter as it's free today

How many syns do you think are in one chicken chargrill?

Do you have to use syns daily because I haven't used any today!

I think I may have one tonight - I'm celebrating as we won the Grand Slam today:bliss: So I'm :party0036::party0036:

Yeah silly as it sounds, chocolate seems like the best option! lol

My God!!! I will throw it in the bin now to resist temptation:cry:

Any clues to how many syns are in any one slice??

Any idea how many syns pretzels are? I picked up a packet earlier and it's less than 5% on them?

Yeah have used all my healthy extras today

I'm on a Red Day today - here's my selection for today. Breakfast: Muesli with skimmed milk Snacks: Banana and apple Lunch: Tuna, pasta and sweetcorn with a tsp of low fat mayonnaise Dinner: Jacket Potato with grated cheese and bacon Syns: 1.5 for the pasta (not wholemeal), 1 for...

Thank you so much - I probably will:D

I've had my nose stuck in the book whenever I have had a minute spare and really excited at the journey ahead:)

I love sour cheese & chive pretzels and was gonna treat myself to a bottle of wine over the weekend - seeing as I'm not going out and all my friends are for the Rugby:(

Lol!! Yes, hence the filling up for tea-time today:D Will get up earlier tomorrow to prepare my tuna, pasta and sweetcorn for the office.

I'm thinking now whether I should be totally strict as it's my first week on SW or just treat myself on the weekend but nothing major. Hmmmm decisions! lol

i am absolutely stuffed after eating all that! And I didn't even finish it all - unbelieveable that all that most don't carry any syns, well except the gravy! Phew!!!

My downfall when dieting in the past has been skip breakfast and only have a cup of soup for lunch and then come home and raid the fridge until late in the evening!

I know you should be having 5-15 syns a day but can you save some up to have a big treat at the end of the week or do you have to spread them out?

To be honest, no, I should be starving though!! But I will probably have something different tomorrow like tuna pasta and sweetcorn - that's my fav:D

How am I doing with my first day menu? B: Muesli with skimmed milk Mid Morning Snack: Apple Lunch: Shape Lasting Satisfaction Yogurt with a Banana Dinner: Chicken breast, boiled potatoes, cabbage, swede, carrots and gravy. I have counted 2.5 sins so far - 1.2 for the yogurt and 1...

I will have to get the low fat ones I think:D

I've go the BBQ Beef ones in the cupboard but I don't think they are low fat.

Are the Super Noodles free as well?

Thanks, I'm currently compiling my weekly menus now:)

You lost 8ibs in your first week, that's awesome!!!

Well I am now an official SW member and raring to go:D

Thank you - leaving for my first class in a bit.

Is this free on SW?

Yeah I think it will all come together when I get the books tomorrow - I even picked up the magazine today for inspiration:-)

Can you eat meat or fish with say pasta or potatoes? Is this the one where you can't mix protein and carbs?

Can I join? I'm joining SW tomorrow.

Yeah but I've definately put more than a stone back on and if I don't do something now I will be back to square one. Is SW easy to follow?

Hi Everyone. I'm planning on joining SW tomorrow after doing WW on and off for the last 3 and a half years and lost nearly 4 stone. I can't seem to stick to WW at the moment so I'd thought I would try another plan as the weight is creeping back on. How has it been for everyone here? :)
