hang on in there, do have a look for lovely recipes - maybe have a bbq during this nice sunny weather?

valzar - jaffa cakes may only be 2 syns but i'd eat the pack... i don't know how u can stop them.:rolleyes:

cheers t4a, taz, doughnut and rainbow - i will try and get on here all the time. i was going out lots and denying that the plan existed... back on track now so prob be on a lot more...look forward to chatting :)

cheers for everyones words ;)... feeling far better today after getting back on it. i've stopped beating myself up that i fell of it for a while and decided to put that behind me. good advice about one day at a time, i think its far more realistic to accept some days its more important to forget...

hi everyone, i am looking for tips as to how to stay on track. i did quite well and lost 10lbs and then i had a few celebrations and rather than just being naughty when i was going out (which was quite a lot) it just turned into being really naughty all the time. i am not sure what damage i've...

i totally agree about feeling rubbish when eating bad food... i've fallen off the plan in the last 4 weeks and feel like poo - bloated stomach, tired, and put on ? pounds - i don;'t need to step on the scales to know its probably half a stone as all my clothes are too tight! going to try and get...

i definately start noticing the difference when i loose (or put on as i have now!) half a stone. when i get to more like 1 stone loss i might be able to fit into a smaller size. do remember though you may have been wearing clothes that were too tight and so you'll actually have to loose more...

hey everyone! i'm back... got the exams and the big 30 out the way and now gotta face the reality that the 1/2 stone i prob lost has gone back on and i need to start again. going to WI tonight :break_diet::break_diet: how is everyone??? sorry i've not been on to say hi, i was being so...

thanks for putting the targets up skinnymonkey... just got back from weigh in and lost another 3 plbs so that's now 10lbs!!! only started SW on week two so got my 1/2 stone award with them aslo slimmer the week :D dead chuffed! didn't actually realise that you could get 2 awards in one go and i...

hi everyone, :p i vow to go swimming twice a week but starting the second week in may (50 lenghts + a week)... sorry to be slacking off but i'm not really i have an exam (boo hoo)! very impressed by everyone else - get us :D

i've bought one, it was £3.30 including postage... when it arrives i'll let you know whether its worth it... kx

hey folks, sorry i've not been on very much in the last week... i've got loads on a work and an exam in 2 weeks... will have so much more time after the bank hols and then will be annoyin you all again lol x how's everyone doing anyway? i had WI last night and lost another 1 and 1/2 so that...

from the ebay seller i just got the reply 'You can work it out for yourself its very self explanatory' - can you presume from this that the kit contains plans of how to do it? hmmmm i might buy it and let you all know x

i've been totally rubbish with the exercise, gna let myself off though as have been walking every day (to work or college) and i've got exams in a few weeks. will get right back on the exercise challenge next month - hope someone'll keep me company

welcome back bumpy! glad u had fun and managed to stick to it well. i'm still really enjoying the plan. been eating loads but sticking to HE & syn allowance. hope i've lost weight tomorrow but if not happy i'm gna try n get a boost from the fast forward. steph - see ur running the race for...

i;ve just emailed the seller to see if you get any advice on how to work out the plan & units etc. i will post the reply if i get one... kat x

oh no - just found out that the new tesco light chocolate n organs cereal bars are only 1 syn on green or red (according to syn calculator)... have munched 4 today! :rolleyes: Kat x

Annette - i must admit that your consultant sounds a bit rubbish! You're paying your money for sessions so its important that you get the support as well. Our consultant says that its proven that you loose more weight if you go to class so presumably they're supposed to do a little more than...

you can make syn free rice pudding by boiling pudding rice, adding vanilla mullerlite and a pinch of nutmeg and then in the oven....yum yum gonna make some for dinner :>) oh a world without mullerlite hey!? does bear thinking about! hee hee

Sorry Taz not quite finished (hee hee)... Ruthy - OMG i used to swim in that that pool when i was a kid! her name is Cynthia Young. we should meet up when i come down and visit her over the summer! how funny would it be if you know her lol x back to SW land now--- my WI tomorrow, once...

WELL DONE SON!!!! I think we'll all be trying to FF for a week now after that result! Good on you :>)

sorry not been on for a few days... trying to catch up with everyone's news, sounds like they're going ok. Ruhty - my Gran (Cynthia) lives on parcmaen street, carmarthen - she was born in carmarthen and is now 88 so does now at least half of the town! her grandad used to run the 'bunch of...

don't worry Taz i fully intend to, although i must admit i don't know where the urge came from - i haven't eaten supernoodles in years! Kat x

well i must just sod it and have the packet... i've not had any syns yet today although i will be eating up the rest of the amaretto choc mousse i made, its soooooooooooooo yum x

ah it all becomes clear... fast forward. glad its working for you, Kat x

hey folks, i had a supernoodle urge but the local shop only had the normal ones... i'm on a green day and they're only 3 1/2 syns. if i make them with bovril rather than the sachet will that lower the syn value? Kat x

oooh ruthy just seen you're in carmarthenshire... my gran lives in carmarthen! sure you really wanted to know that ;)lol

both mine and my mum's consultant say that you shouldn't use ur syns weekly but every day and that you shouldn't carry then over.... i don't know how important this is but if its all about combining food then it may work against you if you have too much fat in a day...maybe its worth trying 15 a...

can you mix and match healthy extras - what i mean is half 1/2 portion HE of say milk and then 1/2 portion of dairlea light as 1 portion? KAt x

confused hi sonban - i'm a little confused what your units are? presume you were on a red day, can't you use your wholemeal bread as HE? (2 slices = 1 HE)... or maybe its me being blonde! Kat x

taz - try stir frys with ginger, garlic, soy sauce - i know this sounds silly but if you're not so great on veg is it a good way of eating and they don't taste so veg lite. i do like fruit but sometimes if gets a bit samey so i mix it up a bit, sometimes put it in jelly (thing you've also...

THanks Nannyjax and Taz, Lovin the mullerlight, jelly and fruit idea Taz - gonna try it today... how excited am i! :D kat x

if you go online to SW website you can create shopping list with syn values - i find it really helps and its good for planning too.:) the blackcherry mullerlight are syn free too :>) i think vanilla is too.:p think it was bumpy that said you can use mullerlight to make ice cream - see...

i will keep my eye out smigget! Kat x

not sure about why you shouldn't save them up. perhaps someone else knows? i tend to think that if i've balanced over the week then that's ok, but then that's probably what i've told myself so i go legitimately go over on a saturday. 15 syns it just not enough for me one day of the week...

i think you can have home made humous on a green day... will be interested in this thread as i love dips!!!

i don't think i've ever eaten so many eggs!;)

i have been much more healthy minded since i hid my sacles a week ago but each to their own. i am a little nervous about WI tomorrow, i have pretty much stuck to the diet but i'm still a bit scepticle that it works as i've eaten lots - bit sticking to the plan apart from extra 14 syns yesterday...

had syn free chips the other day, they are great - though took forever to cook!

maybe a 5k, in fact i'm thinking of doing one in September but i do hate running. no way i'd ever do 26 miles! i think running does bring quick results in me but i do hate it, much prefer to swim. the question is do i push myself to do it when i really don't like it...

i;ve found the magazine good for motivation and the books good for inspiration and to keep reading over to keep you focused... its worth the investment if you can afford them!

excellent advise from everyone as usual! whilst CD may be quick weight loss its not really a plan that is sustainable wheras SW is. if you're nervous about gaining weight when changing plans that will just serve to give you extra momentum and stick to SW! Kat x

i've got my first weigh in tomorrow, feeling a little nervous...hope i've lost. I've been really good all week, swam twice but did go over by 15 syns yesterday. been good again today eating loads of SS food! fingers crossed. i only joined SW last monday but was following the plan for a...

smigget - most of the time the store brands are very similar in syn value to the branded food e.g. cereals, drinks...

yeah fruit juice it a pain that its so synful but there are so many alternatives that i don't miss that much. i do love soda water with lime it it (oh and sometimes a wee bit of vodka!)

probably me bein blonde but where do you find details of where the meets are coming up? if there's one in london after my exams i'd be up for it! Kat x

yeah syn free jelly rocks - i put frozen summer fruits in mine, they are a superspeed food and its a delicious combo!

wedding and 30th bday parties, there's always something going on i find, its so hard to find things to eat that stick with the plan. we had a work do buffet the other evening and the only thing i could eat knowing the syn value was an egg! i managed to resist temptation then but not sure i'll...

smigget - :) i know where you're coming from becuase i'm quite happy to be really good and use virtually no syns during the week and then use them at weekend but i've been told off for this before... :wave_cry: you're not really supposed to save up your syns for the weekend. if you have set a...

hi everyone, sorry i''ve not been on very much this week, i'm also back at work and have exams in 3 1/2 weeks time! i have been thinking of you all, hope you're getting on ok. i've had a good week, a little over on syns yesterday (well on 19 over) but i have stuck to my exercise and been...

oh i do like twisters... will have to find a place they sell the mini ones! rainbow - you remember this is a way of life and if you're at your friends birthday its good to enough yourself and let yourself have a treat. as long as its not everyday then you'll still be on the right road! Kat x

hi Taz, sorry to hear of your stresses. Steph and Time4Action gave you some really good advice so not really sure that i can add to that. hopefully you're feeling back on track now and a 1lb is not really too much to worry about. what can you take from this experience? skinnymonkey - do you...

hey everyone, its conclusive that you can eat at any time. lentil - i think you may be right that i've misunderstood when the consultant was explaining how you could use them. thanks for your comments Kx

hi everyone, at class last night they made it sound like we should eat our healthy extras as part of a meal... does this mean that we can't use them as snacks? i just tend to nibble on snacks in between meals if i'm hungry is this ok (obviously sticking within syn allowance)? also can syns...

skinnymonkey - ok its only day 1 of no scales but i do feel better already as i'm concentrating on the fact i feel good, have more energy etc rather than what the scales say.... give it a try... Kx

hi guys, i've just hidden my scales - they've played havoc with my brain this week, every morning, getting on and off 'because surely i must have lost!' but no... once a week WI for me... well that's the plan. i can't be doing with feeling rubbish at the start of the day and then having to be...

right having gone up and down like a yo-yo both in mind and body the past few days as i'd lost a few pounds, then put one on only a little but enough to make me feel rubbish, i've taken the big plunge, sod the money and i've joined my local group. so 1 week from now will be my first official...

T4A - lovely to read your email, you go for it... anyway they say that positivity breads positivity and so we can all vibe off u lol

thanks ruthy, apart from the extra syns on saturday i've stuck to the plan but just eaten loads and lots of rubbish, combined with the only 1lb loss in a week that's my reason for feeling rubbish. i will pull my socks up, thanks for the kick up the butt! just looked into local classes...was...

hope you have a better week feisty blue x... what is success express?

thanks for the message Ruthy, i'm just feeling a bit down about it because i've i'm not even into the end of the first week and i've had a day where i blew my syn count... good thing is that becuase i was low on my syn count during the week i've balanced out ok but it looks like i've only lost...

i had grand hopes for the first month i came back to SW as i've lost quite a reasonable amount before. my weekly WI is tomorrow but so judging from the scales during the week (yes i'm one of the naughty ones who weighs daily) its not going to be that great. i am really trying to work out how...

hi everyone, over the weekend i've had a few moments of weakness and thought it might be a good idea for us to share our thoughts on how we deal with these... i'm struggling a bit! Kat x

hi everyone, nice to read what you're up to. i'm just getting chores done round the house... feeling a bit bad about yesterday - was doing very well, had a few drinks sticking to the syns but then ended up blowing it all on a late night treat... a wicked 24 syns!!! so cross with myself and...

green day yesterday had a pretty yummy quorn mince with red kidney beans in chilli sauce (sainsburys can apparently syn free) and chopped tomatoes served with rice or pasta = syn free bonus! still working out what my favourite meal is... so many options! so much inspiration on here ;>)

busy women at the weekend!!! hope you get a bit of time for relax! louise - are you feeling better today? HAPPY WEEKEND

i'm glad i'm not alone weighting mysefl first thing after pee before water and food.... it feels great when i've lost but i do get a bit annoyed if i've not lost or gained - like this morning put on 1/2lb!!! but other day i lost 2lb.... going to try and cut down.

you make me laugh ruthy :crazy: is turny 30 so bad? i'll leave you try it first and let me know i'm right behind you as big 30 in June... that's part of the reason why i'm doing this, if i can't slim down by 30 chances are i never will. potting plants is fun, then you garden will look...

i've always been told to avoid the scales and just WI once a week but I can't resist knowing that i'm progressing. is this really bad? should i force myself to only weigh in once a week? K x

louise - sorry hun only just seen your message, you may have gone to bed now. sorry to hear that you're having a bit of a testing day. challenging times make us stronger. you can make it through this!!! and it'll be the weekend after your long day (and hopefully that means a day off to rest...

it sounds like i'm on my own thinking this, but for me they taste like cardboard so i won't be wasting my syns on them... not stopping you enjoying though - be my guest ;)

not planning on using very often, before SW didn't really anyway but should i want to make a sauce or something it's good to know what is the best value for syns. think i'll give the flora extra light a go. thanks ladies! i had thought about making the rice pudding that steph put up, i...

i'm always more hungry on a red day so it would fit that i loose more... as you say find what's find for you. Kx

well done you!

hi i'm just trying to work about what butter replacement/ marg tastes the nicest for the lowest syns... what do you all use?

i've always alternated from red to green, perhaps it is time to experiment with this... i must admit i tend to prefer green days but pasta usually sticks to me! steph - i've not heard anything about the weight around the stomach loosing slower on green - can you tell me more? I carry most of...

thanks for the recipe steph - i'm an even happier girl now, SW is great! (Remind me that in a few weeks when i'm struggling!)

thanks for your message steph i've just realised that the healthy b options change with green and red days - i'd always thought that they were the same (admittedly they are similar). turns out i'll have to syn the humous i had yesterday on a red day! good job i'd only had abbout 6 other syns...

i'm so impressed with you sticking at it for so long, you'll have to let me know your secret!? I always manage a month or two, loose 1/2 stone or so and then forget all about it. It's only when i then put on a stone that i think about doing it again! must try and hang in there long term - any...

its seems we're all feeling fairly positive today which is great to hear! Time4action - don't let ANYONE knock you down. you should be proud of yourself for doing something about your weight and if anyone trys to make you feel bad then just ignore them - it can be really hard and anyone who...

i'm very excited having found out that branston pickle is only 1 syn per tbsp... that means using healthy extras i can have a cheese n pickle sarnie made with wholemeal bread for 1 syn... rock on!!! what's made you happy today? equally if you need to have a moan then do... ;) Kat x

oh well bang goes that idea... thanks anyway Sejay

nice trick with the curly wurly, cheers rainbow... all this talk of chocolate. need to go and have a word with myself ;)

Are they free on green days? Neither of my books say... thanks to anyone who reples :D

i've had a hunt around the interest but no syn free rice pudding recipes although there are a few sites that mention that a syn free recipe exists... first one to find it...:rolleyes:

curly wurlies, haven't had them in ages but they are nice and 6 syns is OK. they do take a little while to eat which is good... thanks everyone :p

oh that makes life a lot lot easier! thanks bumpy. have you tried poaching eggs? they work better if they are fresh. just get a frying pan of water and heat til it simmers, spin the water round in a circle and then add your egg(s) - cook as required. completely fat free and tastes as nice x

can't give you rep bumpy n ruthy - already give you some too recently, thanks a lot though :D

oooohh meringue nests and choc fromage frais... both sound very tempting!!! something else to add to the shopping list. has anyone actually tested how much you can eat, sticking to your syns and still loose weight!? i have found some very low syn cake recipes on the web - i can't...

from my book i thought that you couldn't fry onions without having to syn them. however i've been hunting for recipes on the web and loads of them use fried onions but say they are syn free... does anyone know? thanks kat :confused:

thanks for looking about the angel delight bumpy... 7 syns for 1/2 a pack, that's not so good. i could eat it forever!!! i wonder if the no added sugar version is any less. kX

excellent website Vicx, here's another one i've found... A World of Healthy Recipes | Recipes & Ideas for the Slimming World Plan

ha ha - i new that title would get you looking! I'm back on SW, day 2, now started craving chocolate, biscuits, cakes well something sweet and carby(on red day)... determined to stick with it but its driving me a little potty! syn free or very low syn ideas would be very welcome! Kat x

bumpy - i think i've just died and gone to heaven!!! cheers... how sad i'm just getting excited about all the food i can eat... i could eat it all before for but guilt free now so its even better!

i can see your point louise, although cooking veg is ok and cooking fruit isn't so that's probably got somethin to do with it... hope you find the answer...;)

you may be laugh Louise, i started up SW again yesterday and had quorn sausages for lunch - then by dinner i was thinking of having them again... so it's not you!!! what does PMSL mean?

i've gone to the chat room a couple of times and there's never anyone there? maybe im doing somethign wrong?

hi sarah, i've only just started SW world up again but have never gone to meeting or gone online. the first time i did it my mum was going to class to i would just get advice from her. i'm working full time and studying part time so time is an issue for me and so is money... i'm going to try...

taz - i think it might be as alcohol dehydates so the weight you loose it water... gutting i know! still everyone needs a good night out occassionally or every week in my case... how i'm going to get through a weekend without breaking my syns i don't know... oh my wine, how i love it! am...

several years ago i was on the dance floor and was called funkykat and it kinda stuck as a good user name. often go by the name of kitkat too but that's quite a common username. very interesting thread - psychology always interesting :>)

can someone explain to me exactly what these 'flexible syns' are all about please? thanks

thanks for the replies everyone, i do see what you're saying about what is 'thin' rainbow and i have got down to a size 12/14 before and still thought i was fat. i would just like to be happy with my curves (or lack of them) and not have to hide from having my photo taken, or only dressing in...

and sainsburys sell fry light too - they make it in sunflower and olive oil, i go for olive as i think its a bit better for your heart but both are syn free.

period will count for 3-4 lbs i'm sure

great thread, not that i'm saying its great that everyone has had horrible experience but it is nice to share them now they have. i can't believe how much bullying goes on. i was bullied at school too and didn't really any friends at all until i was 14. i can't believe kids can be so...

don't be dishearted sarah, i'm sure it will come off as quick! i've lost 2-4lbs in a day before after a bit of a bad patch. take a breath, think positive and plan your healthy week.... you'lll be fine. hope you;'re feeling better now. kx

tee hee hee - maybe we should start a new thread... novel ways to burn a few calories. i'm sure ruthy could add a few! how many of them would be 'clean' though is another matter ;) (ruthy - don't go changing)

thanks taz - i'm just thinking about syn free (or very low syn) stuff i can take to work. we don't have a microwave so its gotta be stuff that doesn't need cooking. we do have a kettle though... i know i'm best doing my shopping online and taking it into work with me everyday, otherwise the...

ruthy - are you feeling better today? we all have our down days just don't let it turn into down weeks, months etc. you've not been well so its understandable that its gone a bit off track. point is to get back on it asap. have a moan on here if you need to hun x

will go for superfoods where i can, but nadda way that i'm going near a grapefruit, let alone eating one. trying to get my head rounds what to fit in to a day... ladies you are all impressing me with your committment, well done folks!

what are mug shots Taz? i'm think they're some kind of packet noodles... are all packet noodles free on green? (if you don't have the sauce with?)

hey bumpy0, flexi syns - not heard of that one before... sounds a bit dangerous, presumably there is a limit to how many syns you can increase to? otherwise i'll have 100;) only joking... i realise that won't work. kx

hey everyone, i powerwalked to swimming pool, swam 1k and then walked back... very pleased with myself - first day has set the trend. well i'll tell myself that! did 20 sit ups and 40 star jumps this morning. i'm going to up my target to 80 star jumps per day i think. keep up the good...

dont feel down christie, although easily done... i've just been looking at photos of myself (trying to find a profile pic) and really feeling a bit poo about it. i can't believe that i've kidded myself for so long that i was doing ok. n my lovely boyfriend has never said a thing! we can...

ok cheers bumpy0 - i guess i'll aim not to but if i know i'm going to have a bit of a party at the weekend, i'm best of saving the syns than blowing the syn count completely! 1/2 lb is better than nothing, although obviously it'll take some time to loose my goal of 3 stone at that rate...

i agree with Ju and Taz - just treat it like any other day and it will all show on the scales sooner or later. if you go into starvation mode it will only come back and haunt you. this is about healthy living not starving! sorry if i sound like a school mam! ;)

does it really taste ok? its hard to believe from the recipe!?

isn't it funny how we get excited when we realise that there is something that we can eat syn free... i do for sure. just ordered a new SW book so will hopefully be able to share spread some more happiness soon :)

on a red day and feeling hungry but nothing i want to eat (well syn free anyway) :( oh i'm going to miss this forum when i'm back at work next week, going to have to work hard to avoid the goodies in the canteen! still i've written a plan so that should help. :)

RED day breakfast - bacon without rind, 2 poached eggs lunch - smoked salmon, rocket, toms, cucumber, raw brocolli, balsamic vinegar (i think that's syn free the book says all vinegar is 0.0) summer fruit jelly & fat free yoghurt with sweetener (1.0syn) snack - humous & carrots - health b dinner...

sorry i don't know the answers to your questions claire but thought i'd say welcome :>)

oh i'll have a hunt thanks rainbow :>)

i agree with sonban i'd say about 5 average size new potatoes... hope eating out goes ok, it's the hardest bit i find - if you can do that you should be really pleased with yourself!

welcome karina, i'm fairly new myself but really think that this forum is great - part of the reason why i've struggled with loosing weight in the past if that i get bored and feel like i'm on my own... no more!!! good luck with it all, Ruthy set us off on an April exercise challenge, see...

summer fruit pud(ish) - 0 syns :>) just had some no added sugar raspberry jelly (crystals) with summer fruits in. put sachet of jelly in 1/2 pt boiling water once dissolved add frozen summer fruits (you can get in tescos but sure most supermarkets will do something similar), fill to 1pt...

is it worth it? there seem to be mixed reviews about the so called scan bran?

sorry to hear of your frustration feisty blue, i do know what you mean about the sweeteners in things but you don't have to eat mullerlight. you could have very low fat yoghurt with some fruit. diet cokes may be replace with soda water with lemon or lime squeezed in. you need to find a...

hi, i tried hypnotherapy which helped give kick start me but then it;s just perserverence. try and break down your associations with smoking. it may help to smoke outside while you are giving up that way when you return to the sitting room you don't immediately think 'i want a ciggarette'...

glad you're on the mend a bit Ruthy... i wonder how many calories you burn with a sneeze... surely its gotta burn more than sitting still ;)

:) hi everyone how's are you all getting along with the exercise? it can be tough sometimes so keep it up. (i'm telling myself that as much as everyone else)... i'm trying to think of a good reward (other than naughty food) that is cheap for myself when i achieve my april goal. any ideas?

had a look last night - it has made me think that maybe we should all take some pics of ourselves so when we're feeling down we can turn to them to see the difference. i had even thought about cut and pasting my head onto a thinner body so i can imagine what i'll look like... i think i've got...

hoorah lost 2lbs in first day.... ok ok i realise that i've got a lot of hard work to come but its made me feel good :D

just worked out that you can search postings and that this has already been answered, now trying to work out how to delete my original thread posting - sorry folks, bear with me - i'm new to this! K

Is there anywhere you can get it other that your SW consultant? I've not joined a group so don't know one of these? K :confused:

Ruthy - don't get downhearted, you've provided my much inspiration already so i know that you can do this. there are always going to be times when its hard, especially if you've been working hard at achieveing your goals. do you have a piccie of you before you started - i bet you'll notice...

i know what you meant holidaylyn - i must admit i'm amazed that i've not felt hungry all day and have stuck to the plan. i did loose 1/2 stone a year or so ago with SW before so no reason why it won't happen again. i think part of the reason it works is that the fact that you eat healthily and...

just seen the latter comments chocdrop and porgeous... thanks for the your honesty, you do look fab porgeous and you can see it in your eyes in the photos you've posted. i am looking forward to being able to be more honest with myself and being happier for it. Keep sharing your feelings...

cheers for the comments girlies... more than welcome to gatecrash Kitteh of course i'd love to be thin, n look great but you do meet skinny girls who are up their own ***** and i don't want to turn into someone like that. i'm not saying confidence isn't a good thing but sometimes it turns out...

i know this might sound silly but have never been thin i don't know what it feels like and part of me is a little scared that i won't feel like me anymore? has anyone else thought this? perhaps its just an excuse to not get on with the food optimising... Kat x :confused:

cheers louise - didn't realise there was a chat room, will check it out later - just going for a swim! kat x

:D cheers taz

:D you can do it Steph!

getting fit... :) i'm going to join in too... walk up escalators rather than stand (this counts every time) walk to swimming pool & swim 1k a week (in either one or two sessions) :character00180: (ok ok not quite swimming icon but as good as i could get ;) 40 star jumps every day :party0048...

Thanks Skinny & Ruthy for the kick I needed. As its my first month and i know it usually falls off quicker at first my goal is 10lbs....let's go!!! :party0011: kat :D

:) hoorah will convert to the sugar free version! thanks a lot rainbow...

i'm sure its probably off the scale in syns but does anybody know how many red bull is? i've got loads on at work and need some energy! alternative solutions welcome... Kat ;)

doodles - i read your rep power as 4 Kat

angel delight hi, does anyone know how many syns in angel delight packet? you can make with milk from health extras... Kat :)

what is scan bran? Kat x

oh i see, cheers :D

hi bumpy0, ruth, steph & sonban, :D thanks for the warm welcome. Day 1 - just weighed myself. got a healthy online delivery arriving soon, feeling positive... just going to go and set some mini goals :) Kat x

hi everyone, are you allowed to store up your syns for the weekend? i'm happy being good during the week but do like to have a pudding / drink at the weekend is this allowed? Kat x

:confused: sorry to be a thicko after all these explanations but how do i give someone rep power? i can see the green boxes but nothing happens when i click? Kat

hi everyone, tried loosing weight before and always moaned that there isn't a way to share the ups and downs of it alll... now i found you! :) never really stuck at the diet thing for long and really want this time to be different. i've been overweight all my life, well since i was about 10...

cheers for the tips - i think they're really going to help! Kat :>)

p.s. how do you get this ticker thing?

hey folks, i'm so pleased to find this site... i have tried slimming several times and never really stuck at it for long. lost a stone but then it goes back on soon enough. my mum has lost 2 1/2 stone with SW so going to give it another try as it was the best way i've lost weight in the past...
