Tried the beef/veg crush , meat nice and tender but found the sauce had a tangy flavour, so far my favourite has been the hot smoked salmon , i have a few to get through, thought i would try them all once , but i don't think i will make a habit !

I agree , i really am not keen on EE , i still prefer red/green ,, and i know lots of people have had great success on it ,,, its just not for me , i am going to revert back to my old books , i like having 2 hexa, & b's, like you said it worked before , plus , everybody is really helpful on here...

Well after lots of debating whether to go online or not,,, i decided to be brave and rejoin my local group again , terrified, i could feel my anxiety rising up and a hot flush about to strike,,,,,,panic over, my old consultant remembered me, she was very kind, and said she would convieniently...

I guys , some advice needed , i am thinking of defecting from slimming world because they keep changing their plans. So i thought i might give WW ago , anyone do the online subscription ??? No classes near me , is it worth subscribing , don't really want to pay £80 for the at home package just...

Mango greek mullerlight , raspberries and blueberries x

I phoned SW ON TUE , and they have confirmed they are also phasing out Red/Green on line too to bring it into line with the groups x

Thanks guys, i did phone slimming world earlier , and was advised that they are also phasing out red/green plans online aswell, so i am going to try and stick to extra easy for a month, it might take me a while to get my head round it again, and if i am doing well, i might join online to get...

Need some advice please, i have all the 2014 books , syns directory etc etc , and i still prefer red/green days , i don't go to group anymore it didn't really do anything for me, so i was thinking about going online, as there is a good offer, does anyone know if i can still buy the diectory from...

Its soo difficult to know what to do , i really want to stay with red/green plan and maybe the odd extra easy , but if groups are not explaing them any more it looks like online is my only option, anyone else just sticking to the original plans ??

I have got the 2014 pack , syns directory etc etc , i want to restart again , but i was never really keen on extra easy, i would like to rejoin but really want to stick to red/green , i understand these plans are no longer being discussed in groups ???? Is it worth me rejoining ??? I am pretty...

Ha ha, no not doing the ahred , bloody housework of all things !! But its definately worth doing , it will affect your weight loss because will will retain more water ,, but it won't be a far gain , and you will definately see inch loss , so don't get too hung up when you step on the scales ...

Hello , thanks for the encouragement , i did start the 30 dat shred ,, and then pulled my back out so spent 3 weeks off work and on heavy duty drugs so i had to come off plan and all exercise , however , i did find it ok on step 2 , and it does get easier , i am now just walking in the evenings...

Hey thanks !!!! MUST NOT GET ON THE SCALES!!!! It would be a dream to see the next stone bracket Positive vibes everyone , hommmmmmmmm!!!!

I am using up all my surplus stock !!! I have to confess the amont of times i have cheated since doing this plan , on/off weeks i have actually got about 6-7wks supply stashed , so i am not seeing my consultant anymore , seems silly paying £50 a week when already got the products ,, i have to...

Well done thats brilliant if i have that loss thie week i'll be over the moon weigh in for me will be sunday !,,,,, i will try and not get on the scales again untill then !!

As anyone tried this ,,,, bought some today, in hope that it will solve any loo situations , don't like taking laxatives, so i am guessing its pretty much the same as the cambridge fibre, was £5 for a big jar in tesco , just added it to water ,,, does anyone else use it , or the fibre and does...

Yep still plodding , early nights ,,,, lol as can't eat might aswell sleep ,,,, i am counting down the days my target it 11st 3lbs,,, although i am only a shorty 5ft 1.5inch, i am comfortable at that weight , got big boobs and hips so i like being curvy,,, been slim before in a pevious life and...

I started off with exante , didn't like any of their products , found them bland and tasteless , ended up selling half of it on ebay , but it is a personal choice and really what suits one doesn't suit another, if you think you can do it ,, go for it it is cheaper, i actually think slim and save...

I think its the smell more than anything, i did try a banoffee porridge from slim and save , and have to admit it was better than the cambridge on x

No you'll be absolutely fine , when i started the plan again i started off from day one on 3 bars a day (x2 lemon , 1 otherchoice) and didn't affect me in anyway , xx

Thanks jo , how are you getting on ???

Urrrrgh , can't stand the porridge or the rice pudding ,, like you had to chuck it !!!

Well done ,,,,,, best feeling in the world ,,, to be able to say "yeah ,,, i did it",,,,,keep up that positive vibe !!! I am on day 2 of my restart and only got 4 wks and 4 days to shift 18-20 lbs , its gonna be tough , and i might not make my target , we are off to jamaica and want to be the...

Good luck. !!!!! Sounds like you have a good positive attitude ,,, and thats what it takes for this diet , sometimes we have to dig deep for willpower , but when we do its very empowering at the same same knowing we are for once in control !!!! You can do it !! X

So having had to come off plan again for medical reasons i am back ,,,, the good news is weight gain was minimal , but still really have 18-20 lbs to go for my holiday target ,, the bad news is i only have 4 wks and 4 days to do it ,,,,,,, arrrrgggghhhh , so i have decided to ss all the way ...

Thanks guys , i am going to try and not get on the scales , so i can't have any disappointments and lose heart , i know if i just plod along one day at a time the weight will come off ,,,,,,, so soo little time left till my holiday to jamaica , typically bought loads of clothes in a size 16...

Think of all the positives!!!!! And ,,, try not to think of the longevity of the diet !!! One day at a time is an achievment a day closer to where you want to be , break it down into mini challenges and reward youself for it ,,,,, you will get , we're all in it together!!!!

I just have to keep going , have already lost 2st on step 2 but have had to take 3 weeks off for medical reasons , so i am now short of time ,, so the decision to do ss is going to be hard going , but if i can get off at least 18 lbs i will be pleased , got exactly 4 wks and 5 days...

Damm it , why did i not get my act together , have got just under 5 weeks to lose 20lbs ,,,,,,, so annoyed with myself !!!!! Hardcore ss from here on in!!

Oooh thats ashame i got alittle excited when i saw them on the healthy extra list ,,,, nevermind !

Does anybody know where you can buy these from , or if they can be substituted for warbutons or tesco wholemeal thins , seen them on the Heb list ???

Yippee, 3.1lbs off , thats now 2st,, still another 1.5st to go , in the right direction, looking forward to seeing the 11st bracket again ,, a couple of weeks and hopefully i'll be there!!!

Ha ha , still plodding along, can't wait to eat all that lovely fruit and yoghurts and salads, its the only thing that is keeping me going !!! Teally want to get another walk in tonight so i hope the weather holds , weigh in is tommorrow,,, fingers crossed !

Flippin eck,,,,,,, trying to be positive but everyday is a struggle this time round, i have made a decision i am only doing this diet until i go to jamaica !!!!! I do feel in a better mind frame of not binging , i have increased my exercise levels and i think after this diet if i continue with...

So , 6.67km done,,,, don't think weather is going to be great tommorrow , looks like it might be a date on the exercise bike ,,,,, boring !!!

Forget the kcals , your just starving yourself for the sake of it,,,,,really you do need all your packs you'll feel better for it , more likely to continue with the diet and if you just move alittle bit more ,,, i bet it won't have done that much damage,,,,, i have eaten allot worse than a cream...

You ate it , forget it and move on ,,,, don't skip you products you need them for all the nutrients, so its important that you have all your packs, everybody has the odd blup or slip up , don't worry or fret about it , tommorrow is another day for better things xx

A couple of really good walks in this weekend, my aim this week is to walk 30km in total so thats 4 walks, lets hope the weather is decent enough to get out there, walking on the tradmill does nothing for me , i get bored with it , plus hubby needs the exercise aswell!!

Sometimes it needs a wobble to get us all on track , the weekend is always the hardest for me , but if the weather is nice at least we can get out for a walk!

Well my last weigh in was not great 1.3lbs on , but i didvtake 4 days off so i am actually quite pleased as it could have been more!!! I am doing great so far this week , really getting the water down , no walking as weather has been crap , but if still motivated when i get home from work i am...

Renewed morivation today !!! Have been mainly on step 2 , but i am going to try a week on ss+, can't live without a cuppa , so lets see how we go!!!!!water water and more water !!!

I would speak to your consultant about moving up the steps, if you want to do more exercise you would be better on step 2, you'll be suprised what a difference it makes if you doing more x

Oohhh dear ....... Another bank holiday got in the way !!!! Getting weighed tonight , dreading it !!!! FFS! Julie !!! Only got 10 wks before my holiday and still got 28lbs to lose ,,, i know its still doable just ,,, but still gotta survive a week in the lake district before then !!!!! I am...

Baths and going to bed early lol xx, oooh and walking , so i'm not in the house near food !!

Hello everyone, i am a lurker!!!!! Lol been on this diet before, i started a few week ago , but this week i am really knuckling down to do it 100%, i am off on holiday in just under 12 weeks and i too would like to shift 3st,,,, or at least 2.7st, and the only way thats going to happen is stick...

I have found walking to be the best exercise foe me , its something i enjoy , its a time when me and hubby chat about things and while these nice evenings are around. Its ideal , i promised myself this would be the very last time i would to the cambridge so its taken me alittle longer to get...

Ooh thats exciting getting married, ita good goal to focus on, i agree with coming up the steps i did cambridge this time last year again on step 2 and lost 3.7st, but had too many holidays and have put nearly 2.5 st back on , i'll never be a skinny, and i like having curves, but my clothes just...

I found ss , just too much , but i am on 810 for medical reasons but i do find it nice having alittle something in the evening , even if it is only a boiled egg ! How much more have got to lose ??

This weeks approach is to be 100%!!!! ,for as many days as possible !!! Starting tonight with a walk and i finally have dusted off the shred, its on the table ready to be attempted again ,, first few days are gonna kill!!! Less than 12 weeks till holybobs,,, still 2st to shift !!! Its going to...

Yay, 2.7 lbs this week,,,,, hoping to get at 3 good walks in this week , i really need to start doing sit ups ,,,,,,,,bloody hate them !!!!!! Just need some motivation to start the shred,,,,, and where is the sunshine that was promised !!!

No , you will hardly notice a difference , good luck x

I think its important to get some form of exercise , thats why i never did ss,, even after this diet i need to have a routine that i can manage to keep up with , i'm not bothered about getting hot an sweaty , lol ,,, as long as i keep moving !! Good luck everyone

Was just wondering what types of exercise everyone is doing and how they are coping with it is it affecting their losses or boosting them , i have been doing a 7.5km walk every other day , not at marching pace ,,,, i find this type of exercise good for me , but i am on 810 so i get alittle...

Ooh i ache ,,,7.5km walk everyother evening ,,,,,, i am going to have a day off!!!!! Weigh in fri evening so i really want a decent one , well actually anything over 2lbs,,,,, worked it out i need to average 2.3lbs per week to hit mmy goal for jamaica!!!! I can do this !!!! What i really need to...

Thanks jo, this time round i have taken the approach even if i have planned breaks ,, i don't need to binge and scoff everything in sight just because i'm having a day off ,,,, more self control ,, and if i do have a day off ,,,, exercise !!

Its been ahile ,,, but i'm still here still plodding alomg , had a few social engagments, so i have had a few weeks off plan , although my weight loss has been slow , its still coming off which i am pleased about ,, now got 12 weeks until i am off to jamaica , no more social events untill mid...

Mmnm jelly what a good idea , is it the sheets or powdered gelatine ???gotta make some xx

My consultant said you can have 3 lemon bars a day , everyday if you wish instead of shakes/soups , or two lemon bars and a shake or another bar other than lemon! I have done this often and my weight loss was the same as have 3 shakes a day !

So,last night we decided to do a 4km walk around the village , really want to put more exercise into my we , so i have decided to start walking again , although i am on step 2 i think the 30 day shred is just one step to far !!!! With the bank holiday here, lets hope we can get in 4 good walks!!!

Now i know i am jumping the gun ,,, please din't shoot me ,,, i'm not at target yet , however thinking about the future , has anyone seen the lighterlife 5:2 shakes/bars /soups etc in superdrug???? What i am wondering is does anyone know if they are the same products as sold in groups ??? I've...

Could somebody please tell me if the lighterlife packs 5:2, are the same packs sold by counsellers in group, i am currently on the cambridge diet , but after if i need to return i was thinking of doing the lighter life from superdrug, if the products are similar,, ???

Well done , what an amazing difference!!! Keep going !!

Ha ha , we shall attempt it this week !!!

Good luck Mabs, it'll fall off when you get into this diet , i myself am on step2, somedays step3 , so for me its going slow but i am happy with that ,,, is coming down !!! Good luck. Xx

Yay 2lbs off , i'm happy with that !!! Slow but gradual !! , only got just under 2st to shift !!!

Ha ha , thats the incentive to stay with it,, ditch the fat clothes !!! I did exactly the same bought a new pair of 18 jeans ,, and then took them back ,, told myself bloody no way are we going there again !!!!! ,!!

Trying to be good this week ,,, so far i have managed it , weekend on its way ,,,, need to keep busy !

Well, all is good on the western front , so far i have been goid this week lets see if i can get theough the weekend ,,, feeling determined for a better loss this week !!!

Well as expected not a brilliant loss 1.5lbs,,, but in the geand scheme of things over 9lbs in two weeks ,,,, still happy!!?

The only thing with this diet is when social events come up that are based around food and drink, i am quite lucky i do find this diet easy to pick up again, but i do have to give myself a little treat to stay on track , i admit i am never 100%, but at the end of the day if i am still losing...

Well, its way in tommorrow at 6pm i'm alittle anxious , don't feel like its a brilliant week , but to be honest a loss is a loss , so 2lbs would be great ,,,,, i might be being alittle optimistic there lol,,,, i've got a 40th bday to got to on 26apr ,,, so if i can lose 7lbs for that i will be...

Thanks POKO,,, it really does spurr you on , the funny thing is i find this diet easier than SW or WW, admittedly i am on 810, and i do allow myself alittle treat on a sat or fri night,, not carbs more in the line of a chicken kebab takeaway ,,, but that one thing really keeps me focused for the...

How is everyone doing ???been ok ,,,, i did have a sneaky peak on scales ,,,,,, yay i'm just pipping into the next stone !!! 12's ,,,, here i come!!!

I have rarely done ss, i actually started off on 810, i probly alternated between 810 and ss+,,, most of the time and to be honest i don't think my losses have been much less than those on ss, don't see the point in total denial ,,, i just couldn't give up a proper cup of tea in the morning, i...

I averaged 3lbs a week last time, being slightly naughty each week , i don't condone it , however having somerhing to look forward to and for my husband aswell gave me the incentuve to be really good the rest of the time , plus we used to go for a walk to help !!

Ha ha , i do restrict myself, i promise , i only buy one bottle insteas of two lol xxi also sometimes have the slim and save spicy spaghetti pack instead of a soup/bar ,, its just a different vlcd,, but its helps allot to have a change now and then !

So week 2, day 1 ,,, new found motivation !!!!!

Now c'mon ,, get yourself back in that zone !!! We-re all in this together , when do you get weighed ???? Drink lots it helps flush the system out !! I goota say consultant is really good , even she says you can have a bad day everyweek and still lose weight ,,, i aint gonna lie when i did this...

The one thing i have learnt about myself ,,, i may be fat , but i don't dislike the person inside!!! I just need to start liking the outside...

You can do it!!!! Just think how fantastic it is to see those pounds coming off ! Don't think of how ling it may take , just think of one goid day after another to a slimmer uou ! I know exactly how your feeling , infact at the weekwnd i bought a bigger size pair of jeans ,,,,that i said i would...

Well its weigh in today ,,,, after my wobbble not feeling its going to be a great loss for my first week , but heyho anything 4lbs and up i will be pleased with, not getting weighed untill 7,30hrs ,,,,,, arrrgghhhh the waiting and the scales always look better in the morning,,,, 4lbs might be...

Well i'm no optimistic for th great start i wanted . And not getting weighed until 7,30 so i shall do the walk of shame !!!! On a positive,,,,, i frightened myself by almost ruining things and its really given me a kick up the bum ,,,,,, i am now back in the zone and ready for summerv!!!!!!!, i...

Day 4,,,,gotta get through the weekend !!!!! Once its done i'll be on my way 'mmmmmmm vino' NO NO NO !!!!!

Weekends are the hardest ,,,,,,, really miss having a bottle of vino,,,, sparling water is just not the same ,,,,,, but 3.5lbs will take be into the 12's and mentally that would be be a great boost, weigh in is on tue, so if not this weigh in , definately the next !!!! Really want to get to my...

I too have about 3.5 st to lose,, and i can tell you now , i really really do not want to be a repeat offender every year because i don't have any bloody self control, my consultant has already said when i get to target i can still have a weekly weigh in with her for free,,,, to keep on thr...

The whole free food thing with SW , almost became a challenge to see how much i could actually eat ,,, not goid for my mind set , i can tell you and i ended up eating crap for the sake of it !!

Day3, not too bad, feeling very tired and brain not functioning today !!! Need more water , it'll be worth it once week one is under my belt its plain sailing!!!!!

Your absolutely right !! We can do this !!!! I think i had to get to breaking point , where i almost crawled on my knees , banging on my consultants door to let me back , lol !!! I to have messed about with WW and SW, but its so depressing when you've been good all week and lost a poxy 0,5...

So day 2,,,,,,,,,ok just!!! Not thinking about it !!!

Hi everyone thanks for your support , day two ,, not been to bad ,,,,, i am disappointed in myself more than anything , especially after giving everyone the big this is the new me chat , never gonna be fat again , blah blah blah,,,,, i'm cringing with emarrassment that i failed again!!!! I've...

Well today has not been as bad as i thought it would be , been trying to stay busy! Tried a new bar choc/orange , was pleasantly suprised, glad i am on 810, couldn't survive without a cuppa , and 2 boiled chucky eggs for tea, i am starting on 810 and reducing down when i am past my first 2 weeks!!

Well its day one again , had to have a break due to health issues, weighed in last night ,,,, so diappointed to find i am only 7 lbs lighter from when i first started ,,,, so back to square one ,,, again!!! I can do this ,, i've it before !!!!! But why o why have i never learnt!!!

Soooo my diary has been ressurected!!!! Back today day 1 ,, feeling excited, can't wait to get this body into a fat burning machine , behind target and gaving to start again after healrh issues,, but all is good and ready to go !!!

As anyone tried the new you vlcd plan ??? If so would like to know how their products are in comparison to slim and save ???

Reading these stories of other peoples struggles and how they have regained their motivation is really inspirational, and gives me hope too x

That looks bloody lovely !!!

Cooking this tonight ,spuds boiling as i'm typing ,,, can't wait !!

Comfort pie , never made it before so hopefully will turn out nice , didn't have any leeks so used mixed frozen veg ( carrot, peas, sweetcorn and green beans with onion)!

Thanks guys for all your advice,, i know i am an impatient person expecting results un 5 days!!!! But i am enjoying being able to eat !! I do need to incorporate some kinda exercise regime aswell!!! So many of my friends have lost so much weight with SW, sometimes i feel a failure, when i don't...

Yeah i drink over 2ltrof plain water a day , i was previously on the cambridge diet , came off it , took 2 weeks off all kinds of dieting and the started SW, i think my system is shot to bits and will probably need a few weeks to settle down , i will continue , just upset and fustrated , however...

I've got some in the fridge , not tried it yet i was going to top a merengue nest with it and blueberries,,,, and maybe a small dollop od lemon curd !!!! Its 1syn per 100g,,,,, the vanilla is 1.5 syns per 100g is it sweet???

Pizza made with warbutons square wraps, salad, followed by greek mullerlight mango yogurt , blueberries and raspberries xx

Lamb kofte meatballs , there is also a thread on here for donor kebab, or you could make a mousaka xx

Does anybody know what the new flavour of hi fi bars are ????

Tinks, that looks scrummy and very cheesey , how did you make the topping ??

I am not gonna lie , we're greedy in our house i stuff mine with refried beans , savoury rice , fajita mix (sometines i just use veggies, peppers onion, mushroom) and a big dollop on quark , so i suppose it is more of a burrito ,,, but scrummy !!even better on a green day because i can have 2 !!!!

I normally use the old el paso fajita mix (sachet) its 4.5 for the whole packet so between 2-4people i think its worth using1-2 syns for , i would rather use my syns for sauces and thing like that rather than sweets and crisps,,, although i think discovery fajita seasoning in the sachets are...

Does anyone know the syn value of the philidelphia sauces, mushroom and garlic and herb ????? My co op have got an offer of 99p,,,,, i went mad and bought 6!!!!!!

Mmmm those pics look delish ,,, please share the recipe for the vegetable bake xxxx

I have seen the wraps in asda, down the gluten free aisle ,,, but i gotta say they are really expensive i'm sure they were about £2.80,,,having said that i reckon i would probably do 3 green days and have 2 has my HEB,mmmmm with quorn fajita, or a chilli ,,, feel a burrito coming on with savoury...

Has anyone tried the wafers ??? Are they worth buying ,

Day5 Thankfully i feel so much better today , i think i am on my way ,

If you go on CWPface book page , or even their website they are advertised on there!! Was just wondering if anyone has tried them yet ??? They are new bars xx

Ust seen the new advert for the cambridge bonus bar , does anyone know anthing about them , or tried them , can they be used on all plans??? The packaging looks good ??

I am on the cambridge but have also used some of slim and save meals, personally i prefereed the cambridge bars , havin said that , the new chocmint/orange bars are really good , the cambridge bars are bigger so feels naughtier, but the choice on slim and save is allot better , x

Wait,,,,,,,,,,,,i think my headache is subsiding ,,,,,,yipppppppeeeeee, yaaaaaaaahoooooo!!

I am sure we will, we've just got to go with the flo!!

Thats brilliant xxx keep going !!!!

I am suffering this time round today is day 4 , so i hope tommorrow is better , its not the hunger its the headache !!!bring on day 5!!!

Day 4 , my head is still pounding !!! Drinking as much water as i can , feel bleugh,, but i have stuck with it !!

Hi monique I am also on step 2 and i have had some good consistent losses, its nice having a little meal to look forward to, good luck xx

Day 3 Got a banging headache and didn't sleep a wink last night feeling knackered!!!! And its grey and miserable outside,its easier when i am at work !!! Keeping the mind occupied !!

Forgot to say ribena and strawberry water are not strictly kosher on cwp , however they are allowed on slim and save and exante which are both vlcd, i have always drank them and neither have affected my losses, so it really is trial and errorr, but i know i couldn't survive without them xxx

Didn't sleep a wink last night and got banging headache today !!! I am sure it will pass, my brain is working overtime thinking about food !! Just need to get through the the next couple of days !! Thanfully i don't work tue , so i chose to start the diet when my worst days would be over the...

Hi, i have done 810 most of the time and have had good losses, after my first big loss i averaged about 3lb a week , i like 810 because it does allow you to be able to do alittle exercise and not feel unwell because of the protein meal, and also it is easier when socialised with food , good luck xx
