Is it too late to join? I want -10lb and weigh in on a Thursday. I weighed in last night and lost 2lb. :) :)

Thanks he took left over chilli and rice last night. It is difficult as he never knows when his breaks will be or where he will be. Most late night truck stops do not really sell healthy food!

Hi i need some ideas for my hubby's lunches at work and at home A - he works nights as a lorry diver - no fridge, no microwave B - he does not eat salad or raw/cold veg I have been making him soup, but he is getting bored with it. When he comes home he will have a sandwich (using his HE B)...

Going to join you guys with a Monday morning weigh in! I have not done SW for about 2 years, but I know it works, got 4st to lose so here we go!

Hi I have done slimming world before but not for about 2 years - decided to go back to it. It does work. but do not have time to go to a group, I have just started doing 5 dance classes a week to build up my exercise. Hope every one has a good week! x

I wouldn't set your lose too high, remember this is a journey and not a race, just take it week by week and see where you are by Christmas. Don't put added pressure on yourself.

Oops I put on 2lb! Must focus this week!

OMG - that's fantastic! Well done!

Good luck!

Thanks - heres hoping I can lose it and keep it off this time!

Hi don't get down about it sounds like you have hit a plateau, you body has got used to what it is doing. Try mixing things up a bit. Do you eat the same thing over and over again? How do you track your calories everyday?

:grouphugg: I feel for you, it can be hard when your children say things about you, they really do not understand how much they hurt you with it. Teaching your son about healthy balance eating is your best way forward and getting him to join in. I used to take my daughter to class with me and...

Well done thats really good!

Good Luck - I am 5 weeks in to a re-start and doing OK, had a blip last week but back to it today.

Ham and pasta salad followed by a ff Yogurt - yummy

Been off plan most of the last week! :sign0007: But back to it today before I do too much damage. Had a busy weekend and I am now shattered and back to work! LOL At least I am in the office all week so can sit and rest.

NOOO! thats not good. Sticking to any eating plan when you don't feel well is always hard. Give yourself some time and get back better. A friend is doing the Dunkan Diet - its sounds really complicated! He was on week one when I saw him and only eating lean protein and drinking water all...

Keep going, is the understanding why we eat that helps even if we can't help ourselves. :bighug:

LOL how old are we and we still want stickers! :8855:

Forgot to post on Monday on WI day, I lost 5lb! so please, just need to keep it going.

Welcome and good luck! I do not go to a class any more I do it from home - two children and working full time, I just do not get the time to go to a class, I prefer to go to a Zumba or dance class with my spare time, do a bit of body magic.

Thats good, how did the fitting go? I lost 5lb so really pleased, just need to carry it on this week. Had a bad day yesterday and ate loads of nibbles in the evening. But back to it today.

5lb off! So pleased. Here's to another good week.

Hoping I do not blow all my hard work from this week over the weekend! I did step on the scales this morning and it showed a 5lb loss! So I really need to keep to the plan this weekend, as I so want the 5lb. Just shows what SW can do when you stick to it 100%! (which I very rarely do! LOL) We...

Hi Kayte Have you tried to eat more, as looking at the above you could have had a lot more and still been on plan. (your body could go in to starvation if you do not eat enough) For 2 x HE B you can have 4 Ryvita and 2 aplen bars Helen x

Hi When I do red days, I only have carbs as HE B, I have cereal or toast for breakfast, salad and lots of lean meat for lunch, loads of veg and loads of lean meat for dinner. Usually then have Ryvita and HE A of cheese for supper. with fruit, yogurt and meat for snacks. To be honest I find...

Super Noodles here I come! (will not have dinner till about 9pm tonight, so need a substantial snack of carbs to keep me going for dancing classes.) Thanks

Hi Could I add a question into the debate? I would like to have fat free super noodles as a snack on EE - they are listed as free. is this allowed and do I need 1/3 SF food with it? If I add 1/3 sf food, would that make it a meal, which means I would have 4 meals in a day and not 3. Thanks...

I love red days, I find I lose well on them. Good luck hope it works for you.

I am doing good this week, no cheating! Lol c

This week is going much better than last week! I seem to be focused, finally! :-) long may it carry on.

Thanks. You'll be fine for Saturday, just think how beautiful you will feel when you have the dress on! That will keep you focused for the next few weeks! X

9.5lb in 14 weeks is a great achievement. Don't give keep going. Every little but counts. X

ladies Please be carefull with the 5:2 fasting diet (I am worried about you), I tried it last year, which is why I put up the original comments about it. I ended up fainting at work on a fast day about 4 weeks in. My boss was not happy when he found out what I had been doing (and hes a total...

Below is a thread that I have subscribed to, this lady only does red days. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-food-diaries/307875-i-love-my-red-days-14.html#post6161450

Hi Yes red days are basically meat and veg. There are a lot of recipes on line and there are a few threads on here where people are doing red days, which may help you out. Once you get in to the swing of it, it will be easier. Idea for today: Try using mashed swede, carrot on top of mince...

Hi If you are doing a red day today - Baked beans are not free :( Only free on Green or EE days. you can have them as one of your HE B choices 150g on Red. Don't panic if you have not quite got it, it will be a learning curve, You can always go back to a EE day today.

Keep going Sammie you only have a stone to loss now! I was doing good till this morning, go stuck in a 3 hour meeting at work, starring at doughnuts! and gave in a eat one!

Well done on the 2lb loss, that is good work!

Good Luck hope it works for you. Post up what you intend to eat and I will double check it if you want. Just be carefull with peas, sweetcorn, soya beans, parsnips, sweet potato etc on red days as they are not free, but they are on green days. Quorn is free on both plans, so if you want spag...

Oh - I am also going for Gold! I am on week 3! Good luck. x

Mrs Q Any loss is a good loss. I used to do red and green days when I did SW before (EE was not around), so any questions ask away. Basic overview Red day - eat as much lean meat, fish and superfree veg as you want with 2 HE a and 2 HE b choices Breakfast - 30g HE B choice of cerial, eggs...

I agree its not easy! My hubby brought me a box of chocs on Saturday as he forgot, I have put them away and am looking forward to 31st March (which is also my Birthday, so I will be treating myself!)

Hi How are getting on with SW on line? good luck for your WI tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Doing well this week, hoping I get a 2lb loss on Friday, I've been 100% for 6 whole days in a row which is almost unheard of for me. Lol i seem to have my head in the right place at the moment. Really want my half stone by the end of the month and to be down in the 12s for the first time in...

Dont beat yourself up over it. You have achieved so much already, draw a line under it and carry on, tomorrow is another day. Keep smiling. X

It's been sunny here too today! Didn't get to see much of it, stuck in the office! How do you made you're SW carbonara? I have a recipe that I picked up years ago at a meeting that my kids love. 1/4 of a hot cross bun for 5syns so a whole one would be 20 syns! OMG :( I love hot cross buns too.

Lol it wasn't the MFP that got me to going about SW it was the 5:2 fasting diet! i tried it last year, it why I came back to SW. 500 cals a day is so little, I used to do Monday and Thursday, but ended up binging on the non fast days as I was so hungry, I once fainted on a fast day too! i bit...

Hi So if you are doing EE they would be free? But if you roast them to munch on like peanuts they are not - is that correct? Do you know how many syns they are if you roast them?

Ladies I would just like to point out that SW is all about not depriving yourself of food (losing weight without going hungry) , it is not a diet it is a change of life style and if followed correctly does work and is sustainable for life. forget counting calories and points forget weighing...

Hi SW Pork, apple and lentil stew off the web site is really nice, I cook it alot for my family, the lentils sock up the liquid and thicken it up. Its also very filling! Its based on 4 people but you could just double the numbers. Its a couple of syns per person, because of the cooked apple...

Meant to post with quote - otherwise it would seem rather random!

:girlpower: :party0019: Way to Go!:party0049::wee::wow::woohoo: It is all worth while when you feel like you do today. Remember this feeling and every time you feel its not going according to plan, take a step back and remember how you felt after the WI today!

Well done on your loss! Keep going, try not to get so stressed. x

Fingers cross you will not have done too much damage. Just remember what you have already achieved! x

Just checked on line all varieties are free! :D

From what I have read people seem to lose quiet a bit of weight in the month after they have finished the shred and not so good loses while they are doing it. So fingers crossed for you for the next few weeks! X

Dosen't sound good! Think I'll skip that one lol. Have a good weekend!

Good luck for tomorrow Biffy - hope you get what you want! Here it is dark, dank and damp! Enjoy the sunshine.

Hi Yes I am still around, not doing too good, put on 5lb this week! so not happy with myself. It feels hypercritical to give advise to others when I can not get my own head in gear! But I am staying positive and will not give in. I have planned all next weeks meals and will go to the shop...

Dont beat yourself up over it, enjoy the weekend, we all need a treat every now and then. I have had a bad week and put on 5lb! but I am staying positive and I will not give up!

6lb in a week i would love to lose that this week! Good luck with the exercise, fruit, veg and salad. I have increased my exercise this week as I am now going for the Gold body magic award. I was doing the 150 minutes of exercise but over 3 days and you need to do it over 5 days to get Gold...

Oh dear WI this morning - not good I put on 5lb! 5lb! i knew I had been bad but 5lb! Oh well cant chance the past only forge the future. So today, I have been to the shop already, mini tins of spag hoops and baked beans, low fat supernoodle for my desk draw in case I feel the urge to eat...

Thanks - it was a fairley good day, but not SW wise LOL - went out last night to a girly night and drank a little too much!

I dont really have a major target date to aim for I know I want to be 10st 6lb 3 stone below my starting weight. I would like to lose 1/2 stone before my birthday at the end of March. I have some lovely size 12 clothes sitting in my wardrobe gathering dust and I want to ware them again! But...

Hi havent heard from you for quite a few days, so thought I would check up on you, How are you doing?

Going to plan my meals at lunch time today, draw a line under the last few weeks and start a fresh tomorrow. :)

Found a new way! carrots dipped in Philly light as a snack.

Oh well this is not going as planned! :cry: Stood on the scales this morning and I have put on 4lb! ahhhh! I now weigh more that when I started. This is just what I used to do when I went to the classes and why I gave up 18 months ago. I know the plan inside out and I know what I need to...

Oh wow they are amazing! I want to eat one!:gimi:

Thats OK then, thought you may have been doing yourself out of some syns! LOL

you did really well, i would have eaten more! just one thing most others work on 20 calories to 1 syn.

Chicken, veg and potato tray bake - yummy and easy - it can cook away while I do a session of Wii Zumba!

Your dinner looks yummy. spag bols not quite the same with out the spag though is it? LOL

Slow and steady and your more likely to stay there! 1lb off is better that a 1lb on well done.:0clapper:

Thanks much appreciate the support!

Oh just read about the Slim for Good slimathon on line - think I will have a go at that! Sounds a good idea! Any one else want to join me?

Extra Easy day Breakfast 2 egg and mushroom omellete half grapefruit glass water coffee and 2 x ryvita fruit crunch when I got to work (HE B) was going to have a hifi bar, but only have the orange and choc ones and i have given up chocolate for lent Ahhhhh! Coffee, tea, water x 2 Mango and...

Had a day off yesterday to re think things through so eat just what I wanted. Today 100% I want to be a healthily weight!

Oh I see! Lol

I started running last week, but just on a treadmill in the gym, not brave enough to run out side yet, but maybe??? I was quite surprised how well I got on, and I thought that I could not run. (Treadmill was set at level 5 hill - so was not flat either!)

Are beans and eggs superfree?, I thought they were just free foods, I know beans are a speed food.

Hi I have seen you putting on comments on different threads and thought i would look you out for some inspiration! (hope you don't mind) The difference in you appearance in just one year is amazing, you have done so well. How did you stay so focused? I really struggle to manage more that a...

Good luck!

Hi having taken a quick look they all look good. I would double check all your syn values and the HE b weights to be 100% sure. Also try increasing the amount of superfree foods you snack on during the day. I have always found that the more I eat the more I lose.

Did you make the spag bol, if so which mince did you use as most are not free? ( I got caught with this one!)

Did you syn the bread?

Quick note: only 3 sesame ryvita make a HE b and not four - so this would be an extra 1.5syns

Hope you had a good time then! I have no such excuse, just lack of will power!

Oh I have stumbled across your diary! Hello!:giggle: I can now read what you are up to. LOL You always put really good advise on my diary! Thanks sooooo much you are such an inspiration! and I love your photos! I need to take a leaf out your book, I have been very bad lately LOL.

Sounds like you are doing the Plan OK. post the link to your diary so we can take a look! Have you measured your self sometimes you may not have lost weight but you may have shrunk due to building muscle which weights more than fat. So you may be slimmer??? What ever you do not lose heart...

Where have you been, we missed you! Ive not been doing so good either! so you kick me and Ill kick you! LOL

Well done - I managed not to weigh over the weekend as well but could not resist yesterday morning so had to do it! LOL But still not choc or sweets for me!

Confession time! I did not make good choices last night! 2 x poppadoms lots of mango chutney and raita Butterfly King prawn _ which I guess was deep fried King Prawn puree which comes with a deep fried bread type thing (not sure what it is but its yummy) special rice onion bhaji 2 glasses of...

Well done - good for you. I have been off plan all weekend and yesterday! so this week is not going to be a good one for me. Oh well tomorrow is always another day!

Hope you cold has gone! And that is good news about the job you want. I have been lucky all my career and mostly enjoy my job. I have a few off days every now and then but I guess every one does. Hope you get it! So good luck and fingers crossed.

I decided not to go for Bronze and go for silver. I want to get the Platinum. Hanky Panky indeed - chance would be fine thing with my Hubby just started working nights in his new job! LOL (but my daughter is away at Grannies this week and he is off tonight, so you never know! LOL)

We walked to the Indian and back does that count? Lol

My halo has slipped off and rolled away! Lol

Oh No! Hubby wants to go for an Indian tonight! Changing to an EE means I have had 9 syns already! eeek this week is not going to be a good one!

you can do it! don't let half term put you off your stride. you are doing really well.

Sons do have the tendency to like to polish off anything thats going! I make a dozen muffins every week just for him! (using bananas, and wholemeal flour - like to think they are a little healthier for him than shop brought! LOL) Yes back to it as its Monday, I was not good over the weekend...

Is that breakfast and snacks, or is lunch in with it? I eat so much more than that in a day! LOL I also want to curl up under my desk and have a kip, am so tired, think i did too much body magic over the weekend!

I find that it is best to check in everyday, gives me motivation. I seems to always go a bit of plan over the weekends when I am not sat in front of the computer, checking in! LOL And any way we would wonder where your were!

Chosen by You Thick & Creamy Roast Chicken Soup, dried, 26g sachet 5½syns is this the one?

Yes got my Silver Body Magic award yesterday! Now to go for Gold!
