Thanks dreamtabbit!

Hi Everyone Does anyone know the syns in the Indian Lentil Sambar Innocent Veg Pot? I can't seem to find the syns for this particular flavour. Thanks in advance :)

The chorizo and beef chilli from this thread is one of my favourite meals. I make it in the slow cooker and it is just fantastic. Thank you!

I'm in the same boat, but I really dislike dairy free milk which makes it harder. I discovered babybels don't seem to make me ill so I have just been having those.

Chorizo pasta, a bit of a random concoction :)

I am going out with friends to a bar which styles its food on an american smokehouse - big portions of bbq meat, chips, sauces ... not exactly sw friendly! Food - The Pit, City Centre bar Leeds City Centre - Arc Inspirations Luckily, they do seem to have some things which I could make work -...

I'm making the Harissa chicken from this months mag.

I have been off plan for weeks and I'm weighing in tonight for the first time since. I feel sick at the thought I want to cry :( I'm just so frustrated with myself. Good to hear you are all motivated ladies. I haven't been posting as I've been a right negative Nancy but I have been keeping up...

You have been off plan for 2 weeks and are dreading weigh in :(

I have to measure pasta and rice otherwise I would make enough for the whole street (and eat it!). I do 100g as a pasta portion and 75g for rice.

Thanks for all the congrats, my practical lessons are coming along slowly. I'm a pretty nervous driver. JESS! Welcome back :) how have you been? X

My boyfriend has shunned me to watch the football and give me a running commentary from the other room so my nice prawn pasta has gone down the pan. Instead ... chips, eggs and beans :)!

Sorry I've been quiet ladies I was busy revising for my theory test which I passed this evening. Wahoo! I'm very pleased. Lyrically your boss sounds like a prime douche. Sorry to hear your feeling rubbish. Do you have any annual leave coming up?

You wake up with a stinking cold!

Basque fish stew is currently in the slow cooker. Going to make some garlic and chilli spinach to go with it.

Well done for getting back on it Camz, it is really hard to do with a hangover. I fancy trying a new recipe today so I am going to do the Basque Fish Stew from the All in One cookbook. So the plan for today is to go to Morrisons and get the ingredients, get my eyebrows threaded and maybe go to...

Sausage and mushroom sandwich :drool:

I'm the same, when I tried to do it from home I would just lie to myself. Now I actually have to get weighed infront of someone and discuss why I have lost/gained I don't tend to cheat myself (that often haha!).

You get back into a routine after being away. I am a creature of habit!

Cross stitching or knitting for me. Its a fairly new hobby so I have to concentrate which takes my mind off food. Plus, its really difficult to stitch and eat at the same time! :p

Just me tonight so jacket potato with tuna and some stir fried veggies.

4lb gain! Ah well lets brush that under the carpet and move on hey ... Hi Xianleigh! Welcome to the group. Well as you can see above I have had a hefty gain and in fact my graph on the website resembles a ride at Alton Towers. I think it's a case of getting back on the horse and being...

Hi Ladies! Sorry I have been AWOL. I went to Cumbria for the weekend and then straight to London for a few days. Safe to say A LOT of calories have been consumed and I am expecting a fair whack of a gain. I no longer fit into the jeans I just slimmed into :( weigh in is at 7.30pm so I will...

Well done for signing up Laura. I did the Great North Run for Marie Curie last year. If I was to suggest one piece if advice it would be hill train until you can hill train no more. And if you are staying over book accommodation now, it fills up quickly x

Fingers crossed for you Fran! It's such a nice day in Leeds so think I am going to go for a wonder a lunch. I don't usually get the chance. How is everyone else's day shaping up?

Glad it's not just me who is terrified. I needed a nap last night after my lesson, I was exhausted!

Your arms hurt from holding onto the wheel so tight in your driving lesson! Scary stuff.

Mandy you are braver than me - the shred is beyond my realms of fitness I think I'd cry! Davinas DVDs could be worth a try? Hi Harley! I think it's been quiet round here lately.

'Posh beans' on HEXB of bread with bacon and mushrooms. Treating myself after some body magic this morning :)

He's not too bad sometimes ;) I'd love to see a picture of the blanket it sounds fab! Ladies I have just finished doing a Davina McCall workout video and it was so hard!! Feel like I need to go back to bed! I am going for an unplanned meal tonight so felt like I needed some body magic for the...

It was my boyfriend who picked Fran. He did a good job bless him. I have been really getting into my knitting. Check out my slow progress:

We are having tandoori prawns with a mint dip to start then herby rack of lamb with potato rostis and veg. Dessert is berrymisu (a fruit version of tiramisu). It's the half bottle of champagne which is going to rack up the syns. Ah well we don't go all out often.

I'm having that M&S valentines menu tonight. It's not that bad syn wise really. 19.5 syns including dessert. I'm pretty impressed!

Seafood Pasta with some cava. Well it is Valentines Day!

Happy valentines day everyone! Sorry I haven't been around - I have been reading but haven't had time to comment. Hope everyone is well. I am weighing in at lunch today rather than 7.30pm and I'm not feeling positive about it at all. This week all I've wanted to eat is prawn cocktail crisps...

I want to stop using the majority of my syns on chocolate and start using them on things for meals like tortillas, avocado, sauces etc. Sometimes I find myself eating chocolate for the sake of it to use up syns!

Thankyou for the help. So not worth it for the size!

It was going to be cheese but I have settled on diet coke. It's going to be a long 40 days!

Does anyone know the syns in one of these? There's no calorie information on them!

I am heavily debating giving up cheese. I eat too much of it and I think I am intolerant to it as well as I get really bloated after I eat it. I am unsure if it will include cheese flavoured things like wotsits or leek, ham and cheese flavour pasta and sauce. Hmmm :confused:

Red pesto chicken and roasted Mediterranean vegetables

What sort of car is it Scarlett? Sounds like things are going okay with your job search too - I'm glad :) I had my first driving lesson today and it went okay! Kind of need to work on stopping though ha ha.

I'm not too bad Fran. Glad it's the weekend but I have over indulged today :( I have updated my diary to draw a line under it and I am staying away from the fridge. You'd be proud actually as I have taught myself how to knit! Well, slightly. I can cast on and knit three rows but then things...

Well done Muzza! Celebrations are definitely in order!

My drs is the same Christie. By the time you get an appointment you will be better ha ha! I booked driving lessons today and have started learning theory stuff at the demand of my instructor. No point putting it off apparently! Hmm. I keep getting 23/50 so it's not going that great at the moment!

I'm also home ill from work after being sick :(

Definitely Scarlett, that's something I need to work on. I had a major binge yesterday because I was feeling really upset. The annoying thing is it just puts us back to square one in terms of eating behaviours. I hope things get better for you x Where has everyone been the past few days?

I am so sick of this weather! Why the hell is it snowing again?! :(

I am the same. Even though I have a desk job it is really stressful and a lot of the time I think I would love a checkout job - less stress and less hours!

I have had such a productive day after hangover central yesterday. Tidied the flat, finally booked a cleaner to come round, put tea on (pulled pork ... Well pulled gammon as sainsburys were sold out of pork shoulder) and I have just got back from spinning. Whew! Have any of you ladies got a...

Your right fran, jacket potato with beans for me tonight!

I have the worst hangover ever :( I have only just started to keep water down and have spent most of my day hugging the toilet. The question is now I can keep things down do I have an on plan meal or have what I really want and start again tomorrow?

I use that she cooks she eats website and love it! I made the cookie cakes for our group taster last night and they went down a storm. I also recommend the homey pie :)

Good luck with your move Laura! Today is a good day. I got my half stone sticker last night AND I have fitted into some jeans I haven't wore in ages! Happy Friday ladies x

I'm the same Stevie, but at least January is almost over, February is tiny and then in March things get a bit warmer!

I'm really sorry for your loss Sammy. Don't sweat the extra syns it's a really difficult thing to go through. Well ladies I have spent the whole night baking for a taster evening at group tomorrow. Decided to make 3.5 syn cookie cakes - they look amazing but I don't have enough syns to try one...

Hope everything is okay with your job Scarlett. I hope she sorts out a new job and things go back to normal. I just went to my first spin lesson in an age and I am dead. Forgotten how hard it is!

I have a major problem with rewarding myself with food. My consultant recommended rewarding myself with other things like magazines and nail polishes, but I have started taking it to the extreme with topshop dresses and shoes. Not good for my credit card! To be fair I usually return most of it...

Ladies I want to try a green day today! What is a quick meal to have for dinner on green?

I'm a member of a gym and mix it up between classes and working out on my own. I don't know if you have one near you but I go to Pure Gym which is about £18 a month and they do loads of free classes. I do spinning, circuits and boxercise for free. It's open 24 hours too.

Well I couldn't persuade him to go see Les Mis but we are going to see Django Unchained instead. Les Mis will have to wait until my friend is free! I'm looking forward to it after your comments. I was a but dubious as I hate musical films usually. Now just to avoid the popcorn! (My major...

I'm watching don't tell the bride and wondering how I can persuade my bf to go the cinema and watch Les Mis with me.

Laura that looks delicious! I have so much to do today but no motivation. All I have managed so far is putting the smokey lentil chilli from the all in one cook book into the slow cooker and sorting out recipes for my recipe folder. I'm currently ignoring the pile of clothes in the bedroom to...

I am trying the mexican bake from January's magazine :)

Evening ladies. Those going out tonight enjoy it and stay safe! Bummer on the boobie loss Jess, but I bet they are in proportion with your new slim figure. Don't want to be too top heavy you fall over haha. La Senza (are they still around?) do some really good gel bras if you want a boost...

Jess I know in Leeds they don't always grit the streets by the bars and I would worry like you! Could you wear wedges? I wore them on a night out when it snowed last year and was fine. I made the enchiladas last night! Couldn't get it to work with the canaloni tubes so used lasagna sheets...

It's bloody snowing again here! Just in time for the weekend. I'm not too fussed to be fair as I'm spending most of it at home. It's the last weekend of a six week month pay wise for me so you can imagine the state of my bank account! Jess I am try the syn free enchiladas tonight so I will...

Happy Friday! I am feeling pretty chuffed with myself today after losing 3lbs this week. My biggest loss to date! Your belt stories have made me chuckle. I had a clipped belt ping off at a barman once and knocked over a drink on its way.

Wow a lot of you weigh in Wednesdays! Well done everyone. Sorry for my Debbie Downer message yesterday. Bad day in the office and I'm feeling very hormonal at the moment. Feeling much brighter today and pushing forward. Have any of you tried the Special K crisps? I saw them half price in...

Well done on your interview Emily! That's great news. I am feeling so fed up today :( been fed up a lot lately and starting to think I need to man up and make some changes or I'm just going to waste more time feeling rubbish. Easier said than done though as I hate change ha ha.

Morning everyone! The sun is out here and the snow is beginning to melt hooray! Nothing like a rib poke to boost your ego is there haha.

Jess youre my hero! I have missed Mexican food so much since starting SW. Can't justify the tortilla syns. Can I get the pasta shells from any supermarket?

Syn free enchiladas?! Sounds amazing. How do you make them?

14lbs is amazing Nicola!! No snow day for me (bloody recruitment!) but we have been allowed to dress down so at least I'm warm. Not the same as being in bed mind.

How long do you cook your Shepard pie for? I usually use extra lean mince but I am doing it with quorn mince tonight and I'm unsure x

The gym went well but my fitness level is so bad compared to last year. It's hard to believe I'm the same person who ran a half marathon when I'm completely out of puff after 20 mins on the cross trainer!

Seems to have stopped here so I am venturing out to the gym. It has been ages since I have darkened those doors and for some reason I am really nervous! Fran your knitting looks fab! I want to graduate from cross stitching to knitting this year. How did you learn?

Skinnylegs I am definitely finding that. The only good thing is its a good excuse to have stews and chillis which are all really delicious and mostly syn free. I hope everyone's having a nice Saturday. The snows stopped here but I am avoiding leaving the flat because its so icy :( just about...

Bacon and egg sandwich with brown sauce (1 syn). Weekend breakfasts kick weekday breakfasts ass.

Morning ladies! You all have great will power having a selection of treats in the house. I would scoff the lot without a second thought. If I want a treat I go out a specifically buy it and find that works better for me. Are any of you on Instagram? I have spent all morning getting food...

I have just eaten 2 mini eggs for 1.5 syns. What a lame way to use syns! The snow is back wahoo :) Middy if you are getting straight back on it then enjoy your blow out. One bad meal won't make me far just like one good meal won't make you skinny ... or something like that haha

I am trying vintagepockets recipe for pulled pork. Never been so excited for teatime!

It's stopped snowing here (Leeds) but it is absolutely freezing! Luckily I have mushy pea curry for lunch to warm me up :)

Hi everyone! I'm back ... AGAIN! My laptop kicked the bucket but luckily I got my phone upgraded today to a shiny new iPhone which reconnects me to the world :) Looks like there's a few new faces so a big hello to you all. This year I am determined to stop messing around and lose some bloody...

Brinner - SW chips, mushrooms, beans and 2 fried eggs. :drool:

I have made my first dish with the slow cooker I got for my birthday - good old Irish Strew :drool:

4lb on for me. The only person in my group to gain!! I have come back home today after staying with some family so I am back on the wagon. I have just binned the only selection box I was given which made me feel really guilty but I have no one to give it to and I can't be trusted.

I have resisted takeaway despite my horrific hangover and I am having a sw friendly tea instead :)

What I really want is an amazing guiltfest of a takeaway ... what I am actually having is spag bol made with quorn mince with wholemeal pasta and broccoli on the side. :innocent0002:

Vintagepockets your food always looks amazing! :drool: I am having mushy pea curry tonight. A firm fave and hoping the superspeed foods will work some magic.

Diet coke chicken! I have only made it once before and it is the first time my boyfriend has tried it. Fingers crossed!

Some really nice recipes, thanks for sharing :) What would you serve the chickpea dahl loaf with?

:whistle: Hi ladies! Its been awhile ... I just wanted to pop in and say hi before I turn in for the night. I've had a week hiatus, but I am back now (!) Will have a catch up on things tomorrow. In the meantime I hope everyone is well x

Well done everyone! Acing it this week :) Hopefully I can follow suit tomorrow despite being over my weekly syn limit (eek!) x

Thats a perfect idea! A guy in work has a Moshi Monster one, but not as cool it just has chocolate in. I did see a Liz Earle (my fave skincare brand) advent calendar which maybe I should of gotten instead. A new skincare sample everyday sounds like my idea of heaven.

Evening everyone! Christie I may join you on the no chocolate thing. The celebrations/treats in work are killing me so probably best if I give it up completely. Saying that though my bf bought me an advent calendar today which will be hard to resist. How many syns are in advent calendar...

I only stopped at 6 as I left the office haha! I like to try each one too. Boxes of chocolates are my downfall as once they are open I can't stop thinking about them. I have calmed down a after a rant and a diet coke. Thanks for listening/reading :) Good luck on your WI Camz, fingers crossed...

Lemon, Chilli and Garlic King Prawn Skewers with Uncle Bens rice and a side salad.

What are you knitting Fran? Ah rubbish day today. You know one of those days were everything just goes wrong? Topped off by having to go to THREE supermarkets to get batchelors savoury rice for tea but none of them having it. I have had to settle for the Uncle Bens microwavable ones which are...

Homity Pie - I am using this recipe (She Cooks, She Eats: Homity Pie)

Morning everyone! I have been so lazy today and only just woke up. I know I needed sleep, but not sure I need 12 hours haha. Jenna well done on your loss! Clare sounds like its one of those days for you. Nothing worse when you shop around and make a decision and then its gone. My plan for...

God Chris Maloney does my head in. He was so rude about Ella being eliminated. I really hope he goes. One of my new years resolutions is to learn how to drive and I have just been looking at some local driving instructors. Getting kind of down about how expensive it is going to be. I might...

Just finished it and it was lovely. Give it a try :) I am a convert!

Not too bad thanks Fran. Feeling very positive today! I love strictly, but for some reason never watch the elimination show. I just love watching the dances. I can report that mushy pea curry is really nice! Mine was less of a curry and more of a spicy stew but lovely nonetheless. Tatabubly we...

Everyone in group and online have raved about it so I hoping it tastes better than it looks! How you doing Fran?

I have mushy pea curry bubbling away. Doesn't look too appetizing and I am a bit skeptical :hmm:

I don't think Ella or James need to win to be a success. A bit of a naff act wins every year so they may as well leave the others too it! Currently have mushy pea curry cooking away. Must say it doesn't look that appetizing! I am very sceptical.

I must admit all the crying is getting a bit much for me an hour in. Everyone is so young on there too! I felt really bad for a 13 year old girl who just got voted off she was crying so much on stage. I love that Khloe Kardashian is a presenter, I think shes fab. I have just worked out my syns...

Scarlett, my hangover cure I swear by is a Nandos. Works every time! Amy, welcome :) I agree with everyone else and think the sooner you start the better, you will make less work for yourself in 2013. Staples are the same as Jenna, but also herbs/spices as I use them loads to make meals really...

Morning all. Hope everythings okay Jess. You are all so active this weekend, I need to get my bum in gear. I have loads of cross stitching to do today (cross stitching a design for all my christmas cards), but I am off to the gym this evening for circuits. Its been a long time so I expect it...

Homemade burgers with babybel in the middle :drool:. Having it with SW chips, homemade salsa and salad.

Thanks girls for the kind words. I have dusted myself off and got back on the horse with a new sense of ambition :D Scarlett well done for resisting, it looks amazing. Dough balls are my favourite :drool: Any nice plans for the weekend everyone?

Evening ladies! I’m Sloping in quietly this evening after a 1.5lb gain. Not sure I deserved such a big gain and I am in a bit of a sulk. Hope everyone is well. I am off to bed now and hoping tomorrow is a better day, but just wanted to say hello.

I am a big comfort eater and really struggle with it. I have found that now I tend to buy bad foods, but not eat them. It is as if the comfort comes from having the bad food. Strange. My consultant also recommended buying something unfood related so a new nail varnish, magazine etc. (nothing too...

Well done Stevie! Your Christmas wish is so close you can almost touch it too :D x

Mine too! My name is Jade by the way :)

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been MIA, I caught the lurgy and have been mainly bed based. Could only just about face updating my food diary! Hope everyone well, I have caught up on the last few pages :) Clare I hate organising birthday things. I am doing it at the moment and it is so stressful. I...

Smash pizza with chicken, sweetcorn, peppers, mushrooms, onion and tomatos. Might have sw chips too :)

Well done on your amazing loss - really not far to go till your christmas wish. That so good! I am so jealous you are going to she Rhi Rhi, it will be an amazing gig.

Yep its Jade, good memory :)! I know its silly to weigh all the time but I can't help it sometimes. I will be so gutted if I don't have a good loss this week as for the first time in ages I have had an on plan-ish weekend. I am going to try and not let it get to me and enjoy my sausage and mash...

Hey ladies! You all talk so fast! Hope everyone is well. I am feeling a bit down tonight after having a cheeky weigh in and I am 1/2 lb up from last week! Official WI is Thursday, but I was aiming for 2lbs this week so thats clearly not going to happen. Trying to not let it send me off track...

Good luck :) Hope it went well!

I have been dreaming of tonights tea all day! I am having veggie sausages with mash potato, broccoli and gravy. Perfect for getting cosy :drool:

Having breakfast every morning will kick start your metabolism so even if it’s a hifi bar or a piece of fruit it is really important to have something. Soon enough it will become habit :)

That dress is lush Stevie and you look fab in it! A new dress can be your treat for reaching your christmas goal - the best sort of treat:)

I am eating pea and ham soup right now :D I use this recipe Pea and ham soup - Recipes - Slimming World

Homemade pea and ham soup with fruit salad.

Mrs Shahs King prawn curry and a curly wurly for dessert :drool: I haven't had curry in ages!

Hi :) Nice food diary. I have always strayed away from roast dinners as I worried they would be too high in syns, but your roast sounds delicious! How do you roast potatos? Is it just a case of coating with spray light?

I vote striped bottom peplum, it looks lush!

Going to have a cooked breakfast - Linda McCartney Vegetarian Sausages, Beans, Fried egg, Mushrooms and 2 slices of WM Bread. :drool:

Blimey you lot are up early! Fran - I am making this (http://shop.subversivecrossstitch.com/collections/all-kits/products/*****-please) for my friend as she is always saying it & for my dad and step mum I am making this (FINISHED Custom Pixel People Portrait Bride von weelittlestitches) as they...

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! I can't even think about what I am getting people yet, still feels so long away despite what all these xmas adverts are telling me! I am making a few gifts this year as I have gotten into cross stitch to stop me from snacking of an evening so I am keeping...

Hi everyone, mind if I dip in? My name is Jade and I am 22 years old. Really glad I found this topic as its nice to speak to people of a similar age etc. How is everyone this evening? I am just settling down to Saturday night TV (Strictly and Xfactor!) and trying to ignore texts from my friends...

Stevie, is your flattened chicken breast the same as pizza topped chicken? I keep hearing about it and wondered what it looked like.

Chicken and vegetable skewers with savoury rice. Very excited!

Seems like you are back on track well done :) I hope you have a fab time at the wedding and all goes well food/drink wise. It is so difficult at things like that though isn't it!

Omlette with onion, peppers and mushrooms with beans on the side. Had this every day on holiday so I am treating myself to hopefully get rid of my blues :)

Spag Bol with so much veg in it, wholemeal pasta and sweetcorn on the side.

Stevie you are inspiring me to try some red and green days. Just need to get my head around them! Hope you have a nice weekend :)

Jacket Potato with beans and cheese. Having a bad day and its my favourite comfort lunch :drool:

I have been mega hungry today and actually had two lunches :ashamed0005: - jacket potato with beans and home made pea and ham soup.

Trying the Lamb Hotpot from this months magazine, but with beef instead. Its in the oven and smells delish :drool:

I cross stitch! Keeps me busy and particularly at this time of year I usually have lots of projects to get through.

Just quickly making some of Petes mushroom soup before I go to WI so I can have that afterwards. I am always starving by the time I get back. Looking forward to it as I am recently obsessed with mushroom soup.

One of my favourite things about SW is the variety of recipes there is to try. However, I find recipes all over (SW mag, this site, sw blogs, google) so it is hard to organise them and I rely on my memory a lot. How do you organise the recipes you have tried and liked?

Trying the cheesy pasta bake from the October magazine. Struggling to get back on track after my holiday so hoping a new recipe will help.

Made this before I went on the holiday and have been eating it by the bowl load hoping it will minimise my gain after a weeks holiday in an all inclusive resort!

I think losing slowly means you will keep it off. I don't know why everybody is in such a rush, SW isn't a quick fix it's a plan you can follow for life. It took time to get to the weight you are now and it will take time to get it off! :)

I was debating this last week as it was my first weigh in. I decided to have a normal breakfast (cereal) and lunch (jacket potato with beans) and then didn't eat anything else until after weigh in (I was starving and scoffed a hifi bar during group). I drank water normally up until 4.30-5pm too...

Trying out KFC style chicken tonight, but with smash not breadcrumbs. I couldn't open the Bovril tub (and have lacked a muscly man tonight) so haven't been able to use it so we shall see how it turns out. The remains of my 1/2 syn cake for desert :)

Trying to bring myself back from the brink of a gain with speed soup and a muller light.

I went completely AWOL and off plan today when shopping and ended up in TGI Fridays :( Wish I hadn't of bothered as the food wasn't that great and I have trawled and trawled the internet this evening and cannot find the syn or calorie value for half of their food! Does anyone know the syn value...

I just tried this. Its delicious! You wouldn't guess its made from cauliflower :D

Trying out the Cowboy Pie from this months mag. Bit dubious about the baked beans though!

I am making the chicken chow mein from the magazine booklet. I am adding prawns too because I am currently obsessed!

Ah, I have completely lost the plot diet wise. Really need to rethink this doing it from home thing and I am really struggling :(

I use this recipe: She Cooks, She Eats: Homey Pie

After a bad weekend I am trying to have two 0 syn days and bring myself back from the brink of a gain. I am getting a bit sick of going off plan, I hate the guilt and it just makes this weight loss journey ever longer. The scenic view, although sometimes nice can become frustrating! Breakfast...

After a bit of a bad weekend I am back on track and trying to have two 0 syn days until weigh in to try and redeem myself. I am getting a bit fed up with my decision making when it comes to food. I feel like a broken record half the time! On track, not on track, feel bad for not being on track...

I love homey pie! Massive bowl of chilli perfect to warm me up after a day of having soggy shoes.

*sneaks in* sorry I have been AWOL for a few days ladies. I have been off plan and enjoying myself with dancing and a lot of booze. Not feeling too clever today I must admit. How are we all doing?

I am so glad it is the weekend! Yesterday was fairly good eating wise, until the popcorn arrived :rolleyes: Breakfast: 1.5 Shredded Wheat – HEXB 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk – HEXA Strawberries – 1/3 SF Lunch: Innocent Thai Curry Veg Pot - 4.5 Grapes - 1/3 SF Mint Mullerlight - 0 Dinner: Prawn &...

Chilli, tomato and prawn linguine - here :D

I didn't want to post about yesterdays food as I felt really guilty, but thats not the point of this diary is it? Breakfast: 1.5 Shredded Wheat – HEXB 125ml Semi Skimmed Milk – 1/2 HEXA Strawberries – 1/3 SF Lunch: Jacket Potato - 0 Beans - 0 Cheese - 6 Salad - 1/3 SF Dinner: Nandos Spicy...

Awh thats great news Charl, what kind of puppy are you getting? I tried the diet coke chicken tonight as bf is working away, but I am definitely going to cook it for him without telling him what it is and see what he thinks. I know he will love it if he tries it. Sneaky :P I had a little...

Just finished eating the diet coke chicken and it was amazing! New favourite I think :)

Well! I had the GNR at the weekend and was off plan Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I'm not too mad at myself as my body needed to correctly fuel for 13.1 miles and then I needed to celebrate! Back on plan today :) Breakfast: 1.5 Shredded Wheat – HEXB 125ml Semi Skimmed Milk – 1/2 HEXA...

Making diet coke chicken for the first time. Worried it is going to taste vile! Having it with mushrooms and peppers and some spinach and rice.

Could be worth going to a physio if your shoulder keeps hurting Jenny. This happened to me when I first started running and it was a lot to do with my form. Back on it today after my takeaway blip with a new sense of motivation. My foot is absolutely killing from the weekend, but I'm off to the...

I have had such a rubbish day both eating wise and work wise so I have written today off completely. I really fancied a takeaway so I have ordered one and will enjoy it and get back on the wagon tomorrow. :(

Thanks for all your congratulations. Jenny - thank you! It was a really hard course and I ran it in 2 hours 51 minutes. The hills were absolute killers! If you can do the Great North Run over another half marathon as the atmosphere is just amazing. Everyone told me it would be unforgetable...

Hey everyone! I hope you are all well. Sorry I have been quiet this weekend I was in Newcastle doing the Great North Run. Still can't believe I have ran a half marathon - just mental! Was off plan Saturday, yesterday and today but right back on it tomorrow :)

Whoops! Didn't get time to post my food for yesterday as I was busy cross stitiching. Yes I am old before my time, but I love it and find it really relaxing. Currently completing a design for our living room which I am really excited about. Yesterday was a bit of a 'blah' day of eating. I...

I just wanted to say I have been reading your diary and you have done so well! I am glad you had a nice holiday, your pictures look fab! I really wanted to go to Turkey this year, but the travel agent said we weren't guaranteed the weather when we were looking to go (end of October) so we are...

Laura - good luck with them! I got into them as my bf used to work in the same office of the husband and the lady who runs it. We bought loads and loved them. Super easy. If you don't like spicy curries I would deficiently get mild as medium is quite spicy. Jezzi- I tend to spread my syns...

If I want to make a SW friendly currry I usually used these curry mix pots. Just add tinned toms for a tomato based curry. Love them!

Well today was my first weigh in and I have lost 1.5lbs. I did want to lose more in my first week, but I was a slow loser last time on SW so I don't think that is going to change. Plus, a loss is a loss. Today was going well until I had a bad day at work. I am a bit on an emotional eater which...

Its a half marathon eek! Never ran this far in my life and so so nervous, but it will be a great experience. Hoping to do another next year if I don't hate it too much. Its good that you have a run in December, I am trying to find one so I have the motivation. I am a bit of a fair weather runner...

Girls, don't worry about running outside - no one pays attention! Especially if you run on a popular route. On the subject of running outside I am getting my name printed on my vest for the Great North Run. Its all becoming real now! Ruined my good streak by getting cheese on my jacket potato...

Morning everyone! My first weigh in was today and I have lost 1.5lbs, woo! Happy with that even though its not a mahoosive loss. Last time on SW I was a bit of a slow, but regular loser too so thats fine. Ultrabluedress -I hope the Portugal trip goes well, some parents are just neurotic so...

Tomorrow is weigh in. I cheekily weighed myself this morning and I have only lost 1lb so far. Bit disappointing in the first week of a diet, but I need to keep telling myself this isn't a diet it is a lifestyle change. SW is so easy to follow I can see me doing this for a long time! Breakfast...

Monday, Monday! Back on track with regular eating and upping my water consumption today. Only 2 days until my first weigh in woo! Today is the first day I have really missed chocolate, but it is all so high syn I can't justify it :(. Breakfast: 1.5 Shredded Wheat – HEXB 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk...

Prawn Lentil Dahl with broccoli and cauliflower. :D

Like Jezzi said, a good sports bra (I'd recommend M&S's) and proper trainers an your off. I used a c25k app that let me play my own music behind it which was helpful. Stretch before and after, and just take it slowly. I used to say I could never run, did the programme and was hooked. I now run...

Laura, definitenly do the C25K podcasts. I started doing them in January and have progessed with my running so much I am running a half marathon on Sunday! This is from never running before at all.

Feel like I haven't eaten a lot today, but at the same time I haven't really been hungry - makes a change from how I was at the beginning of this week! Breakfast: None. Eek! I woke up too late! Lunch: Jacket potato - 0 Beans - 0 HEXA of cheese Salad - 1/3 Dinner: Pasta sauce with...

Yep! Not ideal. He is a skinny little thing though.

Finding out I was heavier than my bf!

I always find it hard to control my eating on the weekend. My main problem is eating consistently throughout the day and avoiding convenience foods. Breakfast: Weetabix Minis - HEXB Milk - HEXA Lunch: Salad - 1/3 SF Roast Chicken - 0 Ham - 0 Tea: Frittata from here (I am not putting in...

One of the annoying things about doing SW from home is not having the syn database easily available. It was so hot out today and my bf wanted to go to Starbucks so I got a Mango and Passion Fruit Frappachino thinking it would be low syn and I have just come home to find out its 9.5 syns!! Next...

Morning everyone! Feeling really determinted this time round and showing some amazing will power lately. We had cupcakes bought into work by a client and I resited completely and then yesterday someone bought in cookies and I didn't even want one, which is just completely out of character for...

Woohoo Friday! Now comes for the real test, the weekend. I am feeling really motivated at the moment though and really hate how I look so that should spurr me on in the low moments. Haven't managed all my HEXA & B so far, but will try and fit them in after tea. Breakfast: Muller Light -0...

I have finally stopped feeling hungry constantly - woohoo! Breakfast: Nectarine – 1/3 SF 1 Shredded Wheat – HEXB 125ml Semi Skimmed Milk – ½ HEXA Strawberries – 1/3 SF Lunch: Chilli - 0 Loads of Veg - 1/3 Uncle Bens Golden Vegetable Rice -2 Dinner: Carbonarra Pasta n Sauce -1.5 Salad - 1/3...

I bought some WW scales yesterday and weighed myself for my starting weight this morning – 10st 13lb :eek: gulp! The only saving grace is I am not as heavy as when I started SW last time, but only by 2lbs! Anyway, it is a starting point and I am never seeing that number again so I am looking at...

Evening everyone! All this mention of KFC is making me hungry. Just about to cook a massive batch of chilli though which should hit the spot (not as delicoious as fried chicken though!). I don't know what it is with me this time round but I just cant stop feeling hungry! I am eating fruit...

Hello everyone! I have been a member of Minimins for a while now, and a past SW-er. I followed the plan from October 11 - Jan 12 and then fell off the wagon. In total I lost a stone on the plan and now I am back, this time for good! I attended classes the first time round but found my...

I bought some scales today so I can start doing weekly weigh-ins at home and just set them all up. Had a cheeky weigh and I have a LOT more work to do than I anticipated! Food wise today was okay, but I have been really hungry! I don't remember ever being hungry last time so I don't know if I...

Pasta n sauce and a lot of veggies. Cant get motivated to cook!

Hi everyone! I'm back doing SW after losing a stone Oct-Jan last year. This time I'm doing it from home as I honestly didn't get that much from them and found this website more help!

It is really delicious. Like a hug in a dish haha! There are quite a few slimming world recipes on that site which I use (and non- slimming world recipes I adjust).

Homey Pie with carrots and peas. Ultimate comfort food!

1lb gain! Went completely off track and had pizza express on Wednesday and have been eating bar after bar of fun size chocolate so that may have something to do with it ... I am getting sick of dieting. All the delicious things are bad and sometimes thats all I want :(

I am really up for this - want to get my 1 stone award this month! kingsbottom 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go!) littleflutterby 11.5lb (0lb lost ~ 11.5lb to go!) SWLizzy 10lb (0lb lost - 10lb to go!)

Nandos! Going to try and be good, but chips and perinaise are already calling my name :p

Satsumas, sweetcorn, butternut squash and courgette and steak! (not all together) SW KFC is also a favourite of mine as well as pasta n sauce for a quick fix.

Garlic bread! Me and my bf would go through about 4 baguettes a week. We would have them with most meals :o. I have swapped garlic bread with every meal for sweetcorn and courgettes - I am obsessed!

1lb off for me which means 11lbs lost in total I found out today! Not sure why my ticker and stats are wrong :confused:

2 hours to go and I am not feeling very positive :( Good luck gang and well done on losses so far!

I can't stop thinking about the malteasers bunny in my fridge! :sigh: WI tomorrow ... must resist ...

Jacket potato with tuna and loads of veg on the side. My appetite is like a baby elephants recently!

Wow well done artic!! That is some steel determination! I always feel a bit of a party pooper when I say no. Its something I need to get my head around because it is only me who looses out :rolleyes:

Hi everyone! I am dreading Thursday!! Just can't seem to get back on it. Since last WI I the off plan food I have consumed has been: a 3 course meal at a French resturaunt a hot chocolate with marshmellows, cream and flake 3 slices of chunky white break with olive oil and balsamic vinegar...

Well done! Good luck tomorrow - hope your will power shows on the scales. No one I work with knows about Slimming World either so I always run the gauntlet of treats.

Mrs Shah curry, loads of veg and some rice ... with a twirl for dessert :ashamed0005:

I am going out for a meal with my bf and his parents this evening. I really want to be as on plan as I can be as I STS last week, but I am in a panic as I can't work out what to eat for the best. For my main I will have steak, jacket potato and a side salad/veg which is fine (some syns for...

KFC Style chicken! It's my favourite slimming world recipe so far :)

STS for me too - but this is after a major crunchie habit that has developed this week. I had 3 which at 9.5 syns each isn't ideal! I also had a naan kebab Saturday night. Reading that back I think I had a lucky escape!! Back on it and upping my 1/3 superfree this week especially as I just...

Chilli and Rice. Syn free as I haven't had a good today with my chocolate comsumption. Don't know whats wrong with me!

These will make jacket potatoes for lunch in work so much easier. The microwave at my office never cooks them right. Are they out now?

I miss scouse so much! My mum makes the best scouse. Steak, SW chips and salad for me, but not until late as my boyfriend is playing football until 7 so I am having pasta and sauce as a late lunch, with some grapes :)

Salmon with butternut squash mash and other vegetables. I have become obsessed with butternut squash!!

2.5lb off for me! Well done everyone on their fab losses.

A dress I wear for work which used to make me feel like a sausage now fits quite nicely - woo!

Even though it is only Monday I am really nervous about WI Thursday! I have been on plan since the 2nd, but after I got weighed at the drs last Thursday and was really disappointed (1/2lb loss) I am not feeling very positive that my efforts are going to be shown on the scales!

I have 5-8 a day during the week (usually on a fun size chocolate bar with my lunch) and then splurge on fridays and saturdays (a couple of glasses of wine and diet lemonade, nothing too dramatic). I never use all of my syn allowance for the week because I never feel like I need to. Don't get me...

Homemade melt in the middle burgers (babybel light HEXA inside) with SW wedges and home made salsa. YUM! Will probably have a side salad to make it EE.

I couldn't weigh in today as I had a team lunch (usually weigh in lunch times on Thursdays), but I had a dr's appointment after work and weighed in at 68kg . I did have my boots on and had ate a lot at my team lunch, but if that is accurate I have lost 1/2 lb which is so disappointing! I have...

Thats really helpful thankyou!!

I have just been reading the new book and noticed that the Healthy Extra B allowance of Shredded Wheat is now 1 1/2 rather than 1 and a Ryvita like it used to be. I usually take my breakfast to work and measuring out 1 1/2 biscuits will be pretty annoying and messy. Do you think just having...

I have been doing sw since October, but with the festive season coming I have only lost 6lbs in total. I am really looking forward to getting my head down and getting on with the plan. I have never done sw before but have enjoyed it so far. Good luck everyone!

I haven't weighed for 3 weeks due to birthdays and travelling and I gained 3lbs. considering the about of dining out a miniature heros I have eaten I am okay with it!
