Oh wow so really recent! Big congrats. Honeymoon sounds amazing. Iv been married nearly 4 months now it goes so quick! Still have 12 weeks to go until our honeymoon tho! A blessing really as it gives me 12 weeks to lose the Mexico all inclusive weight gain from the wedding lol.

All sounds very exciting! I see I missed your wedding when I went AWOL. Congratulations! When was the big day? Where are you going for your honeymoon? Your prof pic looks lovely. I always confuse my friends with my fry ups too, and when I'm sat at work eating last nights chilli!

Cant beat the weekend sw fry up! Feel so naughty but free!

Smurf I always always dish up a small portion of dinner in a lunch box and take it for work the next day. The week nights if I eat out I always have spare low fat super noodles, syn free ravioli, or mug shots handy for work the next day. I remember my first day of work I didn't know what...

Hello all ... It's been avert long time since I last logged on. I managed to get to my target for my wedding and went off to Mexico and got married. Had the best time ever. Put on 5lbs after all the wedding celebrations etc, then never really got back onto the slimming world saddle properly and...

Iv never joined a group I have done all mine on my own. I use my partner as my coach. He hides my scales and we make a big deal of our weigh in. (he's been trying to gain weight and "beef up") so we made a chart and would have our Thursday official weigh in. That way I still felt like I had to...

Sorry if this has already been asked, it won't let me search on my phone! Does anybody know of syn free/lowest syn boiled sweets. I am going on holiday today and get bad earache on the plane. Help much appreciated. X

Does any body know of syn free or lowest syned boiled sweets for the plane I get really bad earache! Xx

The day is here I fly to Mexico to get married tonight!!!! A stone lighter that I was after Xmas, although 3lbs off my wedding target. But I can live with that!

Ahhh today is the day we fly to Mexico tonight! Wedding is in 8 days I can't believe it's here. I am only 3lbs off my wedding target, but with health issues that went on earlier in the year I can deal with that! Just need to control myself around the all inclusive for the first week and lots of...

I finally managed to shift my hen do gain and belong here again - which I'm glad coz u all seem very talkative and helpful. I do need some advice please. Iv only been doing sw since Christmas so this will be my first holiday on sw. Usually I would say sod the diet and enjoy my holiday but 7...

I think its impossible to diet when you're poorly. Your body just wants food! I was the same last week when I was ill so dont feel too guilty. Iv been mega organised so don't have too much to do just lots of niggly loose ends to tie up. It's manly stuff for the reception in England when we're...

That's a clever idea. Never thought to get my toiletries online! Iv been gettin bits over the last few weeks but blitzed my wedding to do list this weekend and ended up buying bags more toiletries and god knows what else! 9 days to go! How's everybodies weekend been? Iv been 100%. The only...

Yay when's your big day. Bet you're relieved and excited to hve them done!

Ah well that explains it a bit then. It's only for another week so hopefully it'll all drop off in time for mexico. In the meantime il carry on working hard and hope it all pays off. I will fit in that dress!

Well done! X

Just had my weigh in and 1lb on! Absolutely gutted I just dont understand I have got up at 6am every day this week to exercise and again in the evening. Have been 100% on plan too! So that's on top of the 4lbgained on my hen do. Ahhhhh!! I am back to backing my pill packet - do you think maybe...

Thank you I will have a read later. Thanks you're all very helpful :) xx

How many syns should you have on express success? Xx

What would a typical day be on the success express then - I'm a bit confused sorry. But up for giving it a go xx

Focused... Or panicking lol. Wow well done on the comp! Love a good freebie to cheer u up! Hope Matthew feels better!

Ohhh what's a success express week? Im willing to work extra extra hard this last week! Gettin married at crown paradise club, cancun. I am being so good and doing nothing different to usual so just don't understand why it hasn't.... Usually I'd just say whatever ul be ul be but my wedding dress...

Tandoori chicken sounds nice is this home made?

No iv never been. I went to Cuba last year and loved it and have heard Mexico is just as amazing. There's a group of 40 of us going, I am so excited. Just want this hen do weight gain gone! Usually Id I'd had a drinkin weekend it would show on the Monday and quickly drop off. But not this time...

I started at 10.13 after Xmas. Got down to 9.13 just before my hen do last week. Haven't had an official weigh in since and have had flu but sneaky weigh in says I put on 4lb .... Which is a LOT for 3 days off plan. Ideally I planned to be 9.10 for my wedding ... But right now i just wana make...

Wow this thread is very active. Haven't logged in since I joined this group ... Altho not sure I belong at the moment after my syn filled hen do. I'm hoping easy on easy off but after a really good week of exercising morning and night too the scales dont appear to have budged which is alarming...

I have been so good this week even been getting up at 6am to squeeze in exercise before work and exercised every evening. Had a sneaky weigh in and not budged one little bit ... Maybe the hen do weight is not so easy on easy off after all! I must have blown out ten million tons of snot with this...

That's a good idea megs. Make sure u replace them with new teeny tiny clothes :) always a good incentive. The bridesmaids had arranged the whole weekend around a Mexican theme so I loved the sombrero and ponchos (we did have stick on moustaches too that we put on after the meal). But tequila...

Thought I'd just share a couple of my hen do photos with you ?

U look brilliant megs! I'm still feeling so under the weather which is so annoying coz I can see the wedding clock ticking and had a sneaky weigh in and it says I put 4lbs on on my hen weekend! Ahhh! I'm hoping it's just "fake easy on" weight and will easily shift. But annoying I can hardly...

Hey ladies. Well haven't been on here for a week. I had the most amazing hen weekend ever, my bridesmaids had planned it all as a suprise and it was amazing! Although very full of syns and was off plan until Wednesday! And now I was sent home from work today ill so I'm skipping weigh in this...

Hi ladies please can I join. Dropped 1lb tonight making me 9st 13. Going to Mexico to get married in 3.5 weeks so aiming to be 9st 7 to 9st 10 by then. Although off on my hen do tomorrow for the weekend so hoping I won't gain this week!!

Yay I did it - I'm now 9st 13! That's one stone off since christmas :) taken a while. Reached My hen do target. My target for wedding is 9st 7 to 9st 10 anywhere in that bracket and only 3.5 weeks left and a very naughty hen weekend ahead of me tomorrow!

Well ladies I did it I am 1lb off and 9st 13 so goodbye and good luck! Although I'm off on my hen weekend tomorrow so may be back here next week!!

Ohhhh lovely! I'm off to Mexico to get married 4 weeks today ahhhhh! Good luck for everybodies weigh in tomorrow! I am praying to be in the 9s after another good week on plan.

Ooh 30 days til my holiday too! Where abouts are u going? We're both on holiday countdown!

Wow well done! U should be so proud!

Hey megs. How's it all going for u? I have tried to be so good the last two weeks in preparation for my hen weekend this Friday hopefully won't undo too much damage but my bridesmaids have organised it as a suprise do have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing! After hen do I am havin a...

Wow well done you! I'm so so hoping to be 9st 13 on Thursday. Iv been so good again - even resisted a rocky road cheesecake at my parents Sunday dinner and have a muller light while they all tucked in! Pure torture... Get my wedding dress back on Friday so plllleeease let me be 9.13 please...

Wow well done. There's been some really big losses this week which is amazing for the 10s bracket! Iv only managed 1lb each week with the odd 2lb here and there! So well done u guys! I "reweighed" on Saturday as Thursday was the start of * and it was a 2lb loss for me this week. I am now dead on...

1lb off for me tonight so now 10st 1 .... Have been a saint this week so was hoping for a 2lb loss but * started today so that put a spanner in it all!

I'm 1lb off tonigt taking me to 10st 1.... Although * week started today so my loss should be more. Weighing again on Sunday to get a better indication once the water retention has gone down! My mini target is 9.13 for my hen do next weekend (and to hopefully not undo too much of that whilst on...

Well done. Wow 3.5lbs is a great loss for the 10s group! What did u do to get such a big loss?

Well done!

Welcome and good luck!

Iv been good this week after my 1lb gain last week due to my celebrations. Hoping to be 2lbs off tomorrow but I feel * week looming so I doubt it. Get my wedding dress back for the last time on Friday so I hope I like what I see in the mirror!

Sorry I'm no help I only do extra easy days. It's quiet in here at the minute how is everybody doing?

Wow big congratulations. Hoping I won't be too far behind you!

Fingers crosses its easy on easy off! I went to a funeral yesterday and was so good. Only had a toast drink before and a toast drink at the wake, had 2 little triangle sandwiches from the buffet (to pay my respect - grandpa hated wasted food!) and then when everybody went for a drunken pub meal...

Only 1lb on with today's wi. Which was very good considering everything I ate and drank for 3 days! I though it was going to be 3-4lbs! But determined to shift 2lbs this week. I'm having a few drinks at a funeral tomorrow but that's it a strict weekend after that!

Only a 1lb gain for me today. Which is very kind I was pancking it was goin to be 3lbs or more! I'm goin to be very good this weekend (tough as I'm going to a friends for takeaway say night, but have already said they can have pizza and il cook my own dinner) so must shift 2lbs this week t o get...

Thanks I will try and stop at the big superstore when I'm next in the next town - fingers crossed. Il hve a look out for the kievs too!

It's mainly the ones that are free a day or two ago I saw some quorn burgers that were free and meatballs but can't remember the exact names of the free ones and now can't get on it on my phone to check the names.

I'm struggling to log into syns on line. Please could somebody copy and paste the quorn syns list ?

Well done!

I saw recently that the Linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages are no syns, have been to my local tesco asda and morrisons but can't seem to find them in any - only the normal vegetarian sausages that are 2 syns each. Where does everybody find these? I am also struggling to find the...

Thankyou. I agree when things are put in perspective like that. And I think if I wasn't getting my dress (newly taken in dress!) back next week I would prob have the whole week off the wagon! But I know how embarassing it will be next week if I go to try my dress on that she's taken in only...

I'm the same. I'd be over the moon to have sts this week. But I feel about a stone heavier today and so so bloated. So I know I have done damage. I have til thurs to try n fix what I can!

I know, my oh has told me not to be so hard on myself. Some things in life definatley just need celebrating I think. 6 weeks to wedding now though so no more excuses (except for my hen do in 2 weeks) Hope you're all doing well this week

Hmmm hold that thought. Lol I got my results back on Friday from my last operation and they got all the cancer ... So let's just say I Celebrated lots Saturday night and then ate lots of hangover food like McDonald's AND a curry... And then crisps today! I'm back on track now but I don't want to...

I had a terrible weekend syn wise. Got a bit drunk sat night so yesterday was full of mcdonalds and a curry! Tried to reign it back in today but still felt rough so had some naughty treats again. :( back on track now but hope the damage isn't too bad on Thursday - I was so close on last weigh in!

Hi somebody else asked a similar question this week if u scroll up a bit. But 1-2lbs is a normal weight to be losing per week at this weight. I lose average 1lb a week - some weeks only a 1/2. But I think as long as its going down its a good thing! You don't want to drastically diet to lose fast...

We must keep each other on track then Megs!

This was exactly the same for me! So much so that I had to purchase new smaller ones at the weekend! I just looked in the mirror one day and realised they looked bloody ridiculous and saggy! When they were a tight fit when I first bought them 5 months ago!

I know this problem! I moved house and bought new scales and somehow gained 8lbs in the space of 3 hours!!! I say just buy some new scales and stick with that - as long as u always use the same scales u will know what u are losing. And try and sneak on friends scales when ur round there to see...

Snap, 1lb off for me so down to 10st 1lb too! Absolutely amazed after my Easter egg eating!

Another 1lb off for me tonight, down to 10st 1lb now.... 5-8lbs now to go before the wedding and 6 weeks to go! I need some serious will power!

Brilliant well done! I am determined to leave with u! My weigh in is on Thursday fingers crossed!

Brilliant well done! Just shows u how a good bit of exercise can undo a few naughties. I have just demolished my work out DVD in the hope do undo my weekends naughties! Fingers crossed for Thursday. I will be happy just to have stayed the same this week after this weekend!

Wishful thinkin but we can all do it! I think there's a few of us lingering at the low 10s now that have been in this group for ages, so come on we can do it!

I have the same aim as that - hopefully our damage isn't too bad! How far off are u?

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Although I haven't weighed yet so don't know the real damage!

Hope to see you in here soon. I generally lose 1lb a week on average. Although after Xmas I was 10st 13 and now I am 10st 2. So it's been a long process but gradual! Some weeks I have sts, and some weeks only lost 1/2 a lb. but everyone is different but generally I'd say 1lb a week. X

I was so good all weekend! Even at a kids party on Saturday surrounded by treats I was good! But something got hold of me yesterday and I had a roast dinner, pudding, cheese and crackers hot cross buns and then stole an Easter egg from my 3 year old neice! Going to have to try and undo it all...

I had a big Sunday dinner at my mums with pudding and then cheese and biscuits and then hot cross buns.... And then stole one of my neices Easter eggs! Oops! Back on track tomorrow, hope I can reign it back in!

Has anybody been naughty and had any Easter eggs then? Or is it just me :s

We're both so close so can defo get there. I'm hoping to be at least 9st 13 for my hen do in 4 weeks time - preferably lower as I imagine it will be a bad weekend syn wise! Defo will not be countin syns that weekend.

I made a little bowl of rice pudding this week (just boiled it in water and when cooked drained the water out and added a splash of skimmed milk from my daily allowance and some sweetner). I fancied a chocolate fix so added options hot choc to it and definatley sorts out a late night choc fix!

All went well with dress fitting - I was 8lbs heavier at my last fitting but they have made all the difference. Shes takin it in in more places than she last thought. And it fits over my hips much better than last time - was a bit tight before in that area. So bad news for the purse but brill...

1.5lbs off for me this week. 10st 2lbs now.... Only 3lbs til the 9s now!

Big day is in 7 weeks - my mum got her outfit sorted thanks. A lovely one from coast. She looks lovely (although it's horrible when your 55 year old mum weighs less than u!! Haha). I lost another 1.5lbs yesterday bringing me to 10st 2lbs now, and wedding dress fitting today. I had aimed to be...

So sorry to hear that pebbles. Hope everythin is ok. And Bliney 1st loss in a week? How did u do that! Xx

Going ok thanks ... Had lunch out on Saturday as had a girly shopping trip to get my mums mother of the bride outfit, so trying to keep good the rest of the week! Wedding dress fitting on Friday, don't think iv reach my mini target point for the fitting - I was 2.5lbs off that target last week...

How's everybodies week going?

STS for me today .... Weird as I started exercising again this week after 4 weeks off with operation - has anybody else found that they had no loss when starting exercising?

Good luck for tomorrow everybody!

Oh noo, do you know where u went wrong? Is it a little gain, hopefully u can reign it back again soon :)

Iv never done red days I always do ee, I never understand how the whole red and green days work?

I'm down to 10st 3.5 at the moment... 9 weeks left til my wedding and 10.5lbs left to my target. Need to get on the exercise wagon and get into the 9s. Although my target is 9stone 7, I think I'd be over the moon with 9st 10. I have my final dress fitting in just under 2 weeks so would love to...

Awww how cute! I like the minsie suggestion.... Or even Minnie! How did u all get on with weigh in? I lost 1.5 lbs this week. Slow gettin there and only 9 weeks left til wedding! Getting back on the exercise wagon on Monday, now whiplash has stolen 2weeks of my exercise life! So serious fat to...

Iv had a good alcohol free weekend trying to catch up on my maintain. Cooked a big curry last night (syn free of course). Bombay potatoes, pilau rice, pakoras and tikka masala. And then a roast today. Going to try and start exercising gently tomorrow and see if I can start steady while im still...

That's not bad - if you fad weighed before you had eaten I bet that 2lbs wouldn't have been there. I can sometimes be +5lbs straight after iv eaten until its digested!

How did everybody get on?

Stay the same for me today - which I know is off my "1lb a week plan" but after not being able to exercise since the op and then getting whiplash on Sunday I really thought I was lookin at a gain! But - as of Monday time to pull my finger out and work hard!!! I have my final dress fitting in 3...

Ah that's brightened my day. So if I cooked it with just water and put it in a vanilla muller it would still be syn free?

Is pudding rice free when made up? And can you make your own fake muller rice by adding to a muller light? I love rice pudding for a comfort food so any ideas with it syn free would be fab. X

The korma didnt go to good ... Think I overdid the pastata and almond essence. My house stinks of almond! It would help if I actually knew how to make a proper korma to adjust to slimming world first - best get my research on! Lol. This weeks weigh in will be bad - neither me or Matt had the...

Well done! So close!

Well done megs! How was everybodies weekend? Mine was a bit naughty although went out sat night and we made a big tuna pasta for when we came home so no kebab. And a syn free fry up for the morning after. All going good til somebody went into the back of my car yesterday, so now have whiplash...

Ohh pebbles what are actifry French fries. Well done to those of u that lost. I'm still licking my wounds on my half pound gain but I'm certain it's just my * weight and not true. Have a heavy weekend planned too so trying to plan all I can to stay sensible!

Good luck!

Please could some one let me know if all chicken is free? I have some chicken thighs are these free as long as I roast them and cut the skin off?

Sorry to hear that news ginmummy. Im plus half a pound today - just started * week today though and not been able to exercise all week so not too upset - just as soon as I can exercise again I need to shift it! Sticking to my lent try something new pact. And this week do far have made smash...

I'm plus half a pound today - just started * week today and had my operation last week so not exercised so im not too upset (a lot better than the plus 2lb that the scales said on my sneaky weigh in the other day!)

I always have a small portion of whatever I have for dinner in a lunch box to take to work the next day. On the days I can't do that I have mugshots, super noodles, ravioli or tuna pasta salad.

Yeah I used the reduced fat cheese but I have half my heA as skimmed milk and the other half as reduced fat cheese. X

Wow 7.5 in a week that's brill. I have a feeling iv put on this week (altho have no idea why as only had a 6" subway at the weekend the rest has been a fine week!) so hoping Whatvee reason it as come on then it'll dissapear as quick as urs! Has anybody else had any gains when they've had an on...

On the plus side I attempted the smash base pizza tonight and loved it (my half is the side with hardly any cheese!)

I had a sneaky peak on the scaled and I have put 2lbs on and I don't know how!! I saved all my syns from last week for my 6" subway (wheat bread 9syns and had the ham and salad no sauce) and a Sunday dinner on Sunday. Which I know can be synful but surely not my whole weeks allowance I only had...

Dreading this weeks weigh in I hate not being able to exercise and feel half a stone heavier already! :(

Definately will be trying this in the week : ) brill way to get ur super free in without it even seeming like a diet! I think I have walked a thousand miles today around Birmingham bullring and not even shopping for myself! Shopping for groomsmens shoes and shirts ... I thought bridesmaids...

Thanks you :) was a bit of a shock and not what you expect to hear when you're only 24. But I'm staying positive about it all and will just face what's thrown my way. And hopefully my scar will have healed more in time for my wedding, although I know there's more important things.

Well done topper. I only lose 1lb a week ... But then thought the same - since new year I have lost 8.5lbs. Only 11lbs to go til my wedding target!

Ohh is this maggi stuff free?

Yay another 1lb off for me this week. 4.5lbs and I'm in the 9s ... Getting slow close, at a snails pace!! Lol x

1lb off for me this week yay!! Cheered up my week loads :) although gonna be a tough week this week as I can't exercise or lift things til my stitches are out next week booo.

Good luck for wi everybody ! Xx

Good luck for wi everybody ! Xx

No problem - I had a further operation on my back to remove some cancerous skin. Hoping they have got it all this time ... due to go to Mexico in 13 weeks to get married so now I'm just worrying :(

Congrats to all u losers looks like this week is a good week for most. I have my wi tomorrow and am hoping I am still on track!

Thanks everybody for the good luck messages. Just waitin for results in the next few weeks so fingers crossed.

Congratulations dub chick! Fingers crossed all goes through smoothly!

I'm having a quick and easy sw dinner tonight - im stuck on the sofa after my op so had to pick an easy recipe for my oh to cook lol. So we're havin quiche with cous cous as the base. Doing the one with cottage cheese in the mix. Not sure if ur taster evenings have to be really inventive or not? X

Ps fingers crossed for your mortgage dub chick! We celebrated our 1year since buying and movin in our house on Saturday- you must be do excited!

My weeks not going too bad, although having an operation tomorrow so my nerves have kicked in and all I wanted for tea tonight was a takeaway, but I resisted after I was so good this weekend and didn't drink at my friends housewarming party and kept thinking of Thursday's weigh in. So just...

Well done! How's everybodies week going!?

Just done my monthly shop tonight ... Had to do tesco and morrisons in one night tho as my tesco never has anything! Managed to get hold of those mint choc mullers- having trouble loading any web pages please could somebody tell me if they are free or not? X

Well done! Good will power - seems tough at the time but afterwards u feel so proud! I managed to stick to my non drinking last night and drive - feel fresh as a daisy today and my oh is feeling very hungover and sorry for himself .... I feel very smug! Lol. X

Brilliant thanks x

Don't worry too much - a night out doesn't have to mean a gain. Just make sure u save as many syns as u can for the weekend and be 100% during the week. I had 6 weekends (birthdays, weekends away etc) in a row of drinking and hangover food and with lots of body magic managed to still lose 1lb...

Just make sure u go by ur own scales. I had a fit when I moved house and bought new scales - they said I had put 7lbs on overnight! So if u go by ur own scales - wether they're accurate or not as long as they're the scales u have used all along that's ur accurate induction of weight loss...

Thanks for the quick replies. Jeeez theyre high - maybe il talk the oh out of those tonight! Lol x

Well done megs that's brilliant! I'm trying to have a good weekend - made home made bacon and egg mcmuffins for breakfast (although mine was with brown bread - not much of a muffin but my oh had the real muffin lol). Dinner made home made chicken fajita with rice instead of wraps (forgot to soak...

Does anybody know the syn values for the iceland "takeaway style" currys? Usually tikka masala, the yellow pilau rice, Bombay potatoes and a korma? Not all at once obviously!

Well done Laura and welcome!

Sounds yummy, will be trying this tomorrow!

1lb off for me this week, slow and steady as usual! 6lbs til the 9's! This 777 week, is that 7syns per day? 7 glasses of water and 7 superspeed foods and is that all u can eat? Xx

Wow that cheesy sweetcorn potato and turkey pizza looks so nice! After pay day next week were doing our monthly shop and although I'm not giving up anything for lent my mum said youre allowed to start doing something instead soooo my "doing somethin for lent" is to try at least one new recipe a...

Wow princessvic you're so so close! U can't leave me in here tho! Lol. I've got 6.8lbs (as of last weeks weigh in) to get into the 9's... And at the rate I'm going at 1lb a week that's nearly 7weeks til I'm in there ahhh :( time for body magic!!

Yesterday wasn't too bad, I took my fiancé out for a curry for his birthday only had two glasses of wine although the curry was bad! And I only bought him a cupcake for his bday candle (he's not a cake fan so if I got...

Sorry to hear you're not well princessvic! Hope u feel better soon. Welcome newbies, like the others have said I hope ur not stuck here as lon as the rest of us!

You girls put me to shame.... I must must must get some new recipes and try them. I feel like iv got into a routine and keep doing the same recipes over and over again!

1 and a quarter pounds off for me. Not the 2lbs I'd hoped for but still more than a pound! And now only 3quarters of a pound of track for my "1lb a week off" target xxx

Ooh pebbles that chicken teriyaki sounds right up my street! Please post the recipe when u get chance to. How's Everybody feeling about tomorrow? I had an alcohol free weekend last weekend (first of the year!) and have upped my exercise this week, so I am praying for a 2lb loss tomorrow to get...

Ahhh man can't you take us with you! My weigh in is tomorrow.... Had an alcohol free weekend last weeked (first of the year) so I am hopin for a 1lb loss to keep me on my "1lb a week" plan, but am really hoping its 2lb off (to make up for my sts week) watch this space!

We're going at the end of May .... 17 weeks! Going to the Crown Paradise in Cancun - 36 of us going in total so getting very nervous and time is running out on the old diet! If I could manage another stone il be happy - but ideally another stone and a half! Xxx

Good advice there. I was losing 2lb a week usually and since upping my game 2 weeks ago and exercising most nights I hve only lost 1lb and then stayed the same again tonight ... So hoping that proves for a good loss next week! Weebee where abouts in Mexico did u go? I am dreading the all...

Ive weighed tonight and im still the same .... Can't argue with that as I deserved to have put on at least 2lb after my weekend off the wagon so pleased my week of exercise made up for it! Just means I need to work twice as hard this week and lose 2lbs to be back on track with my 1lb a week...

Well done pebbles that's brill. I will weigh after work and let u know xxxx

That DVD sounds good! Downtown Suzy that's a familiar story - I got down to 9.12 at my lowest - and then with relocating, starting new job, different scales etc crept up to 10.12 without even realising ... So now on the heavy path back to the 9s! I do my pump it up DVD which has a sweat it...

Well done Pebbles! Tracy that can't be right - have u had lots to drink today, try again tomorrow. Maybe if u tell us what u eat in a week etc we maybe able to help... Maybe one of the other girls who is a slimming world whizz (im still learning!). Do u go to group - if so maybe speak to ur...

Sounds good. My target is 9 and a half ... Started at 12stone 1. Although I would ideally like to be a bit lower coz I get married on 6th June but fly out there on May 30th so have a week of all inclusive amazing food and alcohol for one week so would like a bit of room to have fun for the first...

Yours is just under 1.5lbs a week ... Similar goal! What's your target weight? Xx

We can do it! This time in 18 weeks I will be on the plane on the way to Mexico to get married ... Ideally need to be at my target for my dress fitting in April as that's when she's taking my dress in (or out???? No, definatley IN!!! Lol). Which is 10-11 weeks so that works out at about 1.5lbs...

Wow megs that's fantastic! Thanks pebbles I will have a good search for those mung beans on my trip to tesco next week! Xx

Well done misspinky! Right ladies I have worked out I need to lose 1lb (or equivalent) per week from now until my wedding to be 3lbs under my target .... So I will very very much appreciate ur help and encouragement - we will beat these cursed 10s!!!! Xxx

Ooohhh I didn't even look at the calories etc in those all bran clusters. I'm just trusting that theyre a heB choice - 30g is hardly any tho but they're suprisingly quite filling and feel like a treat! But they're expensive so I probs wont have them all the time xxx

Wooh thanks for the recipe Pebbles .... Is this a really silly question - but what are Mung beans and where would I find them? Are those wraps also free? Thanks for that - I love fajitas so very happy I don't have to wave bye bye to them! It's great to see some of ur recipes too. Iv been doing...

Well done on all ur losses and well done pebbles on that half a pound despite the biscuits! I have lost 1lb this week (amazed after my naughty drinking weekend, drunken takeaway and hangover mcdonalds!). So that puts me at 10st10lb now. Good luck to those left to weigh! I have a question...

Good luck joflo - only 5lbs so not far you can do it! :)

Well done all for clingin on! Iv been doing really well since New Year ... Then had my works new year party, the meal itself wasn't too bad, meat and veg. But then got very drunk and ended up eating a takeaway on the way home (waste of syns as I think I ate it so fast I can't remember it lol)...

Yep i agree on that. Although I lost 2 stone before (started off quite healthy just cutting down and walking to work) but as it stopped coming off I started restricting my diet more and more .... And losing no weight, but was ill all the time - colds, flu, tonsilitus every week. After I ended up...

Well done on your losses this week - I am minus 2lbs this week. Which I am happy about as I had a sneaky weigh in on weds and it was only 1lbs. So after starting slimming world in December, I lost 4lbs, put 6lbs on over Xmas and no lost2.... So back to where I started lol - no excuses now Xmas...

Good luck for today everyone xx

Iv just weighed in and after my 6lb gain at Xmas, I am only 1lb off this week ... Am happy it's in the right direction, but a little disappointed as I have been soo good this week, and have excersised everyday since Saturday... I didn't drink at the weekend, it was even my nephews 1st birthday...

Hi everybody and Happy New Year! Haven't been on properly for a while and have had a quick skim read to catch up! Is everybody settling back into SW after Christmas? I've been back on plan since Tuesday and hoping to shed the 6lb i put on over Christmas (ouch I know!!) VERY quickly...5 months...

I was 2lbs off yesterday ... So hve lost the 2lb gain I had the week before coz of London weekend. So that's 4lbs in total off since I started slimming world 4 weeks ago.... So gradually coming off . Scales are going in the right direction - the last stone is always the hardest to shift!! Happy...

Which recipe did u use? I made some sw gingerbread men to take in to my last day at my old job the week before last and they ended up in the bin as they tasted like cardboard lol. I used to make normal (full fat!) gingerbread men all the time and they tasted fine .... So I'm blaming it on the...

thanks for that info rach. I finally passed a Starbucks today and had my gingerbread latte - skinny with no cream. Yummy yummy. Definitley tasted a million more syns than it was!

Iv been eyeing up mince pies all week ... So instead of picking up the mr Kipling buy one get one free In tescos ... I was good and made my own sw mince tarts - my friend bought me the "extra easy Christmas" slimming world book as an early Xmas present - prooving very useful! They're 3.5 syns...

Ooh dear - look after yourself :) x

This time of year is horrible - dark, cold weather just makes u wana comfort eat and there's gorgeous food everywhere! The main thing is - if you're gonna have it then make sure ur not feeling guilty at every bite - if you're already eating it make sure u bloody well enjoy it and draw a line...

Well done photogirl. I use my syns weekly - as most days I can get away with just 3-4 syns and then save syns for the weekends usually - I have a tick chart too! Lol. Bad news for me 2lbs on this week - but I know exactly why. I had Friday and the weekend off plan - went to London for a...

Don't be hard on yourself MissHP - I think we're all doing very well to even TRY and stick to a diet at the worse time of the year. So just enjoy your mince pie and start a fresh tomorrow :)

My new jobs similar to my last one - packaging design and marketing. (a job mainly sat down all day - with the odd trip the printer!! Lol) I was brave at Covent Garden and took the 193 stairs to the street - regretted it after the first 25 steps but had no choice but to plough on through as I...

Sorry Mands. Been in London for the weekend. Tried to add you by your email address but still couldn't find you. Try to add me if you can [email protected] x

I back from a brilliant weekend in London. Went off plan a little bit (hotel was amazing 5* with a free £50 breakfast each morning so I got a little carried away!!!) but definatley did our fair share of walking! Started my new job today too so was back on track today. So hoping I haven't put on...

That's a brilliant idea- will defo be trying that! X

Loads come up under that name - whats ur email add n il search that way x

I do extra easy everyday so I'm not very clued up with red and green days I'm afraid. I'd love to get down to 9stone - but realistically il be happy with 9 and a half. Its more for the bikini than the wedding dress! When I lost my weight before starting sw I used to walk to and from walk, just a...

Well done everybody else on their losses! Really is encouragement to see everybody else doing well :)

I just tried to send you a pm but it won't let me. Booo! I'm getting married in Mexico then having a big party when we're back at end of June. Where are u getting married. Do you have much to lose - we have 6 months to get to our target! X

Yay 2lbs off for me - over the moon as this was my first whole week on slimming world (first week was just a half week) and after drinking at the weekend it's definitely paid off just swapping what I used to drink and making my own hangover food the next day. So happy - its weird as iv felt like...

Ooh brilliant i will have to try a skinny hazelnut latte with sugar free syrup yum yum if I don't cave for the gingerbread one! Thanks for ur help! Xx

Ohhh Mands my wedding is June too. Although we fly out at the end of May. Wedding is June 6th! Last night I made a chicken curry with a sauce made from natural yoghurt and spices. Bit of a random throw together what I had in dinner but it worked!

Yes definitely have more energy and feel a lot healthier as I'm eating more veg and home cooked sauces instead of jars and prossessed stuff. :)

I read somewhere about the sugar free syrup being free? Do you know anything about this?

I'm a bit nervous about my 2nd weigh in tomorrow - Its so weird eating so much, so I just automatically feel naughty and that iv put on!

Hi Mands! Im similar to you too (although minus the baby part - I shot up to 12 stone one in my first 2 years with my fiancé eating out, going out etc) now desp tryin to get in the 9s for my wedding next year too! When's your wedding? I'm also on week 2 and lost 2lbs last week. And also do it at...

I know it really shocked me how many syns in a mcd's! And mcflurry is like 20 syns!! I used to have these loads!!

Hi, I am going to London this weekend and am saving up my syns for a few treats. I have had my eye on a gingerbread latte from starbucks since November! Please does anybody know the syn value for this - and any options to get the syns down (i.e skimmed milk etc). Thanks!

I know it was torture - had originally arranged it for a week day but had to change it at last minute - was a tough day but got all Xmas shopping done in one day mixed with wedding accessories shopping! We were women on a mission!

I had that with my wii - had a bit of a shock when I bought my new scales! My wii now doesn't weigh anywhere near accurate due to a squishy new carpet - apparently I am 5 stone according to my wii now!

Thanks for your help. There was a few jacket potatoe stores in there that weren't listed on the website so was all good. Had Skinny mocha from costs though which was naughty - but after 7 hours of walking around shopping and lugging bags I'm hoping I burnt that off! Lol

Yeah I thought jacket potatoe might be my best option - just wasn't sure if there was another different option. Thanks

If you don't go to meetings will the new book be available in the shops does anybody know?

Ohh really is that all. So am I right in thinking if I have a subway with that bread and have plain chicken breast or ham and salad but no dressing then I just syn the bread?

Iv only had 2-5 syns each day this week (want to allow 10 per day) so I have saved the remaining up for my partners works Xmas party tomorrow night. My first weekend on slimming world so I think this is the real test!

http://hub.varsitybars.co.uk/_assets/files/Varsity-Main-Menu-Low.pdf Here is the menu, hope the link works.

Oooh well done lollipop! I think the 10 into 9s bracket seems to be the hardest to break! So well done! X

I'm finishing my job next week before starting a new job, and on my last day am going to Varsity to lunch to say bye to my colleagues. Varsity isn't coming up on the syn calculator, does anybody know any syn free/low syn options for lunch here? Thanks x

Welcome emsie x

First slimming world weigh in done since starting the plan on Monday (I know you're meant to weigh once a week but I had to start on a Monday... you can't start a new diet mid week, but I want to be a Thursday weigher as it works best for me). And.... i've lost 2lb so far so definitley...

Just had a quick look on the sw syn calculator and you're right, it says on there that tomatoe purée is free woop thanks for that!

Ooh I didn't know that tomatoe purée is now free :)

PS- MissHP - definitely not bossy, very motivational which is what we all need!

I will let you know my December goal once I have weighed later on x

Hi, Im a bit confused, I couldn't find garlic powder in my asda, only garlic granules. Are these the same and are they free?

I thought so , booo. Thanks for the help x

My first slimming world weigh in after work today ... Very nervous I hope it has worked. I used to weigh myself everyday before starting the plan (my oh has confiscated the battery for me this week!) so it's been torture not knowing! Good luck everybody! X

Hi, I am going xmas shopping on Saturday in Meadowhall and making a full day of it. I am going to a xmas party in the evening so have been saving up some syns for saturday night so don't really want to blow them in the daytime. Can anybody recommend any low syn lunch options in Meadowhall. I...

Hi, Does anybody know if you can use a 6" wheat sub as your heB? I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but worth a shot! lol

Wow these look amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

Im not a massive fan of chopped tomatoes, so I use passatta (seived tomatoes, about 28p a carton) I cook onions, mushrooms in frylight, add garlic and mince and brown, then add the passata and a tablespoon of tomato puree.

Thank you for the welcome everybody :) I am a little nervous about my first weigh in - as after being on such a restricted calorie diet before its weird to be eating so much and being "allowed" to! Just worried il put on in my first few weeks while body gets used to it. Has anybody else...

My motivation and reasons for doing this... 1. I don't want to be a fat bride next to all of my stunningly slim bridesmaids 2. I am getting married in Mexico with 35 friends and family and want to feel better about myself in a bikini instead of feeling self concious around everybody 3. I want...

Hi everybody. I am new to slimming world and had my first official day today and will be a Thursday at home weigher too :) I was on a strict low calorie diet before and lost 2 stone by myself, but have maintained for a year and hav gradually put on a few pounds the last few months so have...

After doing all of my research and my food shop today is my first official slimming world day - fingers crossed it works for me! 6 months til my wedding so I really hope it does! :)

Ah good thinking never thought of "rustic"! Lol. Are canned potatoes still syn free though does anybody know? X

Hi sorry if I am posting in the wrong place. But does anybody know if you can still make syn free chips using tinned potatoes? Sometimes when I'm I a rush it would make life easier to not have to peel the potatoes (seems to take me forever). I sound lazy now! Any help would be fab! :)

Well done Rachael!

N1mumof3 - weird how it's similar. I thought maybe my goal was too ambitious but if you can do it I can do it lol. My old job I used to walk to and from work everyday - just a mile either way but it just helped the weight steadily drop off. But now I drive to work as my new job is 15 miles away...

n1mumof3 I am with you on this! I lost 2 stone getting JUST into the 9's (9st 12 at my lowest) but then moved house, got new job etc and just maintained for about 10months trying and trying to get lower. But recent months I have been ill a few times and been to numerous weddings and its...

Brilliant thanks for the info - still a newbie to all of this! Think il go with the Tesco healthy ones for 0.5 syns. Thanks :)

Which ones are the ones that are free at morrisons? Or do these not exist? Thanks :)

Ohh brill news! Thanks for that! X

Iv been looking out for one of these too but so far no luck :( if anybody knows of one please share :) xx

Hi, I'm new to slimming world and am in a bit of a pickle when it comes to sausages! I have read through the threads and found loads of different info about Morrisons Eat Smart sausages - please could somebody confirm how many syns in these? I keep reading they are free? But then couldn't find...

There's a big list in your pack with the syn list. Which in particular were you after the values for?

I have to take my batteries out of the scales during the week and give them to my other half - I used to weigh every day and it can fluctuate so much and put u off. Xx

Ohh yummy thanks for that will give that one a go!

Brilliant thanks some great ideas in there too. I have a massive sweet tooth so looking for more pudding kind of treats. Weight watchers do a Christmas cake recipe. Anyone know if there's one for slimming world at all please? X
