I do like spicy food so will have to go and look for the salt and pepper chicken recipe. Mushy Pea curry is planned for Tuesday as that's weigh in day so I need something I can whack in the slowcooker as after weigh in I've started going to an Aqua Zumba class so don't get my tea until gone half 9!

thanks for the encouragement. I've made a snack box up with carrot, celery, cucumber and pepper strips to give me an alternative to fruit when the munchies hit. I've also upped my SS foods, each morning I'm having melon (ss) pineapple, apple, strawberries (ss) and fresh blackcurrants(SS)...

Had my weigh in and only lost 1/2 lb. I did a 100% week, I didn't bust my syns, I even measured out my drinks and stopped at 12syns on Friday night( 3 port and lemonades)!!!! I just feel gutted that it didn't work. I was careful with my b choices, weighing my wholemeal roll and I ate fruit...

being able to walk into any clothes shop - not just the fat shops. Going out and not feeling like everyone is staring because of my weight Being able to get out of bed and not have my back aching as much Being able to see my toes again!

I found my new group to be full of particularly rude yappers. It drives me nuts, there is about half an hour whilst people are being weighed to have a natter but once the IT starts then they should button it. Plus in my group the people sit away from the designated seats in their own little...

The lower synned curries are rogan josh 6 syns, chicken Dhansak 6.5, Chicken Jalfrezi 8.5 Basically steer clear of the cream based curries like Korma or Passanda I'd steer clear of the naans ( average plain naan is 20 syns) but treat yourself to a popadom if you want something to accompany it...

I can see where the myth came from, last years food directory had the 8 oz sirloin steak, jacket and side salad at a whopping 24 syns :eek: People tried to make sense of the shockingly high syns Where as now if you look online they don't list the whole meal but it says on EE Jacket with no...

Hi Tia, it's 4 syns per 100g so 12 syns for the whole bag

I love a bit of sausage ;) ooer In all seriousness, I'm looking at the Joes ones now. Are they any good? Are they worth the extra money?

my excuses were: It's genetic ( all my family and I mean ALL are big) Healthy Eating is too expensive The truth was: I'm an emotional eater, instead of dealing with my feelings I just ate them. I was scared of being slimmer and not having the weight to hide behind. I ate too much of the wrong...

Pipaluk, instead of trying to find a way to say he's not helping the diet why not do some cooking together. It can be fun, imagine making strawberry pavlova, feeding each other strawberries dipped in thick total O% as you go and you can explain the kind of things you can/can't have without ever...

well done mothertiggy that's a fab start to your journey :)

Hi Teamnasha, I'm like you, I've tried a few times now with SW and given up for one reason or another. BUT I'm back at it again and this time it will work and I will stick to it. I think having a positive attitude will help tremendously and if you're not positive then fake it until eventually...

fantastic losses Emma. Well done :D

I've over 10 stone to lose and I'm going with Slimming World. Basically I love my food and I don't want to eat tiny portions and with SW you can eat as much as you want of the RIGHT foods.

Thank you everyone, you're all so welcoming and supportive :)

Thanks for all your replys I'm too self concious to try a gym, I just imagine them to be like the call on me video all blonde hair and lycra * shudder* I'd try walking my cat but somehow I don't think it'd be the same lol. My work is about an hour's walk away ( for me) so I might try to work a...

Greece DeLorean's travel a long way once they hit 88mph

absolutely no idea on that one! lol

* coughs nervously as she stands to face the group* I'm Sarah, I'm 32 and I'm a fatty. I weigh in at a whopping 23 stone 4 but I'm only 5 foot 5. I've been fat most of my life. I was a normal healthy kid, put a few pounds on as a teen but shifted them and started to pile weight on in my 20s.I...

* weight not weigh I hate it when I make spelling mistakes

Just wondering what type of exercise anyone is doing. I'm a big girl with a dodgy back after a fall last year. I am joining an aqua zumba class near me ( first class next Tuesday after weigh in) and was wondering what other low impact but effective forms of exercise for us bigger people there...

gutted secret circle, Alcatraz and Terra Nova were cancelled But yay at Grimm and New Girl being renewed

I thought it was amazing. I went to see it yesterday and could happily watch it again already!

Wow it sounds like a whole load of GPs are taught the same thing - being fat causes everything from the common cold to a broken leg! My Gp is exactly the same he once turned round to me and said "you do realise that you are morbidly obese don't you?" I just said yes I do have mirrors but I need...

This thread is so inspirational. It's great to see the other end of this journey I'm on and to see that yes it can be done. Well done to all you amazing ladies and hopefully in a year or sos time I can join you in putting my own before and after pics

Your loss so far is fab. I'm doing SW too and like you I'm the biggest by far in my group and sometimes I feel like they can't possibly understand what a long and hard journey I have ahead of me. Hopefully we'll be able to support each other through this :)

I'm a Tuesday weigh in.

Thanks Nessa. It's good to be able to talk to others who have a slightly longer journey :) I'm doing slimming world but thank you so much for your offer. I've set myself a mini goal of getting back into the teens. It means a 3 stone loss but I think that's doable.

It just felt like naming and shaming when she read out the gains. I don't like the idea of being humiliated if I have a bad week. It sounds like there are some good groups out there. This one is my closest and as I don't drive and I'm a single mum so have to work around my daughter...

Hi I'm Sarah and I REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME ! This is it I have to stick to it and drop some of the weight. I'm 32 and weigh in at a whopping 23 stone!!!! ( That's not my biggest 24 stone 9.5 lbs this time last year) I need to get down to about 12 stone so that's * quickly uses fingers and toes...

This is my 3rs attempt at SW one was years ago before EE and that was a good group although the leader used to tell us off if we gained she'd say stuff like " I think we're going to have to sew that jaw of yours up aren't we?" Needless to say I didn't last long there. My second attempt the...

what about doing a weekly syn box. I know a few women who fill a box with low syn treats up to the 70 syn value ( 10 syns a day) Most of the time they don't miss those syns but when the comfort eating hits they grab the box instead of hitting the cupboard and that way they stay in control

I've just rejoined so for my first target is to get back into the teens! At the moment I'm 23 stone :( and shockingly not the biggest I've been but this is it. The last eating plan. This time it's going to work. I'm going to lose it. So my first goal is to get my butt out of the 20+ stones and...

Feel A bit like a noob again. I previously joined but after quitting sw I stopped coming on. However I've now put 2 of the 3 stones I lost back on and have rejoined so I'm back and determined to make better use of the boards this time.

Hi again ladies. Since I last posted I got my 3 stone awardf so have been feeling very chuffed with myself. However I'm just back from my holibobs where I basically went stuff the diet and ate like a horse and drank like a fish meaning I'm dreading weigh in on Monday but can't get my mind back...

Hi I'm making a lasagne type dish with meatballs but I need a low syn cheese/white sauce recipe. Anyone want to share????? I was thinking quark, fromage frais, mustard but not sure if it would have a cheesy tatse. (I've used 5 syns so far today)

meant to say well done on your losses ladies and Surreygal yikes that's such a lot! How long has it taken to reach the 11 stone 5lb milestone!?

I've got my weigh in tonight at 7. I've tried to stick to plan but haven't been 100% maybe 75%(ish) lol Still fingers crossed for a loss. Last week I was so good and lost just 1/2lb and was a bit gutted but I've upped the exercise this week too so it should show something. I just seem to have...

what an interesting thread. I've not read the book but I agree with the hypothesis. Being large offers some protection from unwanted attention. I was a thin teenager and young adult then I was attacked by someone I thought was a friend and I used food to comfort and in my subconscious I...

I completely agree fat on its own I can deal with however most of the time it's used as a prefix for an insulting term. Fat alone is factual but when used as a prefix it changes form iygwim.

what a great mantra. I'm terrible for eating my feelings so will have to memorize this one.

this morning it was a bacon and baked bean omelette served with grilled tomatoes and more baked beans

That's amazing. Well done :-) Now what's your secret? lol

my group is fab but the woman who weighs us in is a right misery guts and if you've had a bad week and get a gain she gives you a dirty look and screws her mouth up so it looks like a hen's bum oley and just says "gain" in such a snivelly manner it makes me want to scream! My friend had an...

ta very much :) All new to MiniMins so just having a good look around. It's good to know I won't be the only one with a long journey ahead of me. Hoping to find some good free on ee recipes to spur me on.

5 foot 5 22 stone :'( size 26 top and bottom but trousers getting v loose now :)

Hi can I join? I started SW about 5 months ago and have lost 2 stone 9 1/2lb so far but still have a good 8 stone to go!!!!

Hi all my name is Sarah and I'm a noob here. I'm trying to follow slimming world, been at it for 5 months and have lost 2 stones 9 1/2 pounds but seem at an impasse. I'm hoping I'll find some inspiration on here so I can get past that 3 stone mark.
