Yes, I know its a ridiculous number of syns. Normally I would have options but I was out and had already had a coffee which was hideous and did not fancy a cold drink. I had the syns available though so I don't mind - its not a regular thing. Thanks for your help. Sara xx

Thanks Nanny Jax. I reckon it was slightly bigger than a vending machine one (it was a machine behind the counter in a cafe) so I reckon 5 may be about right.

oops sorry that should have been how many Syns!

Hi - how many syns do you think I should count for a hot chocolate? I had one while out today as the coffee was vile. If its any help it was in an 8oz cup and the machine she got it from was a Cadburys one. I didn't have anything on the top of it so I wasn't too bad!! I thought maybe 5 syns...

Well done - that is a fantastic loss and I know what you mean about how exciting it is to get a sticker! Well done and keep up the good work - and enjoy your fruit hamper! Sara xx :party0038:

Thanks Ruthy - glad it was of use to you. As you are already exercising you will sail through the levels and its great to get a new sticker isn't it!?! Sara xx

What an absolutely fantastic weight loss. Congratulations - you are an inspiration. Sara xxx

Hi, well done on your walk, that is fantastic. Walking is a brilliant form of exercise. I think the recommendations are that you do 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week, so by working up to an hour would be exceeding that. Take it at your own pace though, don't feel that you've got to...

Hi, I'm really sorry that you have had a small gain, I know how disheartening it is. Unfortunately most of us will have been there. Try not to let it get you down though, it is just a small blip and you are still 6lbs down which is fantastic. Don't compare your loss with others as we all...

Thanks guys. Ruthy - you really should sign up. Its a real boost. I'm doing SW online so although I don't get an actual sticker, it was great getting the award flashing up on the screen and being able to go and look at it. I feel quite proud of myself as I've never been into exercise...

Hi - like everyone else, I have never heard this before in all my times at SW. I very rarely use mine in a meal as being a veggie I don't tend to need them. I generally use them as snacks and have never had any problems doing this.

What fantastic weight loss. Congratulations!

I just thought I would blow my own trumpet as I'm chuffed with myself tonight. Just got my silver body magic award! I'm really enjoying it as well, all the other times I've dieted I've never really exercised. I'm now starting to work towards my gold! :party0019:

Hi - hope you are feeling better soon and that your arm is not too sore. Sara xx

Hi, although I should really practice what I preach, it really is best to weigh yourself only once a week at more or less the same time wearing similar clothes. I am a bit obsessive about the scales and jump on and off them every time I see them. My weigh in is on a sunday morning but when...

Thanks. I think this week is going to be difficult for exercise as the kids are off. We will hopefully go out and about a bit though so will be walking around. I did do 6 hours exercise last week though so I think thats pretty good (it is for me especially as exercise never used to agree...

Really pleased as I've lost 1lb this week. Would have been great to have been more as I have been perfectly angelic, but my scale hopping habit had worried me as I was showing as a gain yesterday! The 1lb has taken me down into the 15st bracket:) and I now have just half a pound to go till my...

I've just read Slummy Mummy as well Cheb - I thought it was really funny, as she has quite a few similarities to me;)

Definitely no ironing! Have to run it over my daughters school uniform at times but try my best to avoid it at all costs. There is the odd photo of me ironing as it is such a rare event:)

As I am doing SW online I have to do my own WI once a week, so have to have the scales in the house. I would say I am verging on the obsessive though and need to cut down a bit (especially if I am heavier that I should be and I'm quickly getting undressed to see how much difference that makes).:o

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember, and also dieting on and off since I was about 16 (i'm 33 now). I have done really well in the past and got near to target, but never actually reached. Each time the weight has gone straight back on - and some! In early Janary this year I...

I have a terrible habit and seem to have to get on the scales every time I go past them (which is rather a lot as I have to go past them to get to the PC). I'm really stressed now though as I am showing as 2lbs heavier than last sundays WI. I've not cheated and have done plenty of exercise so...

Hi , Sorry to hear you are struggling. I was just wondering if you had thought of using quorn - you could do green days and have as much mash and quorn sausages as you want and again, with a spag bol you can have as much quorn mince and past as you like. I don't know if that helps you but just...

I've always been a bit confused about rice pudding as my old SWC insisted that even if you used a HE for the milk and used rice and sweetener that rice pudding would still not be syn free. I'm sure she must be wrong but I've never made any as she got me worried.

Thats a fantastic loss, well done. I know how you feel though - I was 0.5lb off getting into the next stone bracket so even though I was pleased to lose 2.5, it would have been nice to have got the 3. Keep up the hard work:)

Hi - well done with your fantastic weight loss so far and good luck on the rest of your journey. xx

Yum I love quorn - especially quorn ham and quorn sausages. My nearest supermarket has stopped selling quorn sausages though - what a disaster:(

Thanks for your welcome everyone. Things have been a bit busy at home so I have not been able to come and chat like I had hoped to. Hopefully I will have a bit more time now!

Hi, I'm veggie also and do Slimming World. I find it great for veggies as you can eat unlimited amounts of pasta, rice, potatoes, cous cous, tofu, beans and pulses. Also if you eat Quorn a lot of those are free. I've been doing it now for 9 weeks and have lost 1 stone 7lbs and eat loads...

Hi, I'm Sara and I've only just found this site. I'm hoping it will be a real help to me as I think I need some support. I've been doing Slimming World (again) for the last 9 weeks and have lost 1 stone 7lbs and need to loose at least another 5 stone. I've struggled all my life with my...
