Dammit no lose again this week!!!!

I think Pete was showing the syns for the whole meal not just the drink Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins

Water is a good way to keep the hunger pangs at bay. Personally, I find that after the first week our minds convince us that we don't need as much food and therefore we feel less hungry as a result. I think we are too accustomed to eating when ever we feel like it that we eat out of schedule...

Funnily enough that was my planned dessert for this evening. My daughter is doing this along side me and she has a sweeter tooth than me.

Morning guys. Any comments today?

Thats another days logging done for today. See you all tomorrow

Not really a massive chocolate eater but I have craved for some since "being good" and I read that I must use my syns so happy days. A 2 finger kitkat is enough to put the cravings at bay. Its had not to be obsessive over a diet as it takes over your life entirely but I know what you mean. Weigh...

Thanks for your comments, I have bought the magazine this week to grab some more ideas etc so Im hoping for a loss this week. It just annoys me when I have been so good and not treated myself only to get on the blasted scales and see no improvement!!!

Hoping the title will entice a few guys on here to pop in and comment. Let me tell you who and what I am and see if anyone on this website is in a similar situation. I stand at 5ft 11 and weigh a staggering 14.5 stone. I am here to loose 2 stone or more and looking for a man currently doing...

Deathworm, I am doing it at home as classes dont appeal to me. I understand the fundermentals of the ee but imust be doing something wrong. My wife says Im not eating enough so maybe that is the key here?

I started s/w on the 28th April to loose 2 stone. I currently weigh 14.5 stone and i am 5ft 11. The problem is Im not loosing weight on the ee plan and wondered if it is something i am doing wrong. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. I will give you my food diaries for the past 2...

Looking to have Uncle bens vegetable biryani express rice for dinner (the full 250g pouch) but need to know the syn value before I eat. Thanks

Tomorrow is my birthday and rather than going out I have opted for alone fodder from marks and spensers. I am doing extra easy and wondered what decent food I can buy that would keep me within syns etc. I'm sure I read somewhere about a common shank that is free on syns. Sorry its vague but...

So i have found a packet of crisps that are both super tasty and only 99 calories per bag. Can someone tell me the syn value of each bag please? I believe i read that 1 syn = 30 calories so I am putting them at 3.5 syns per packet. I have looked online but cant find out

She is the youngest of 4, all 3 lads are super active and don't have an oz of fat on any of them. She is tall for her age and she only needs to lose a stone maximum and going through a certain transition (I am choosing to ignore it...the wife keeps telling me about certain things) Thanks guys...

we go walking often and she does boxing on a tuesday night so she gets a decent amount of exercise. Her daily diary looks a little like this a bowl of cereal - bran flakes or weetabix with an apple packup - tuna/sweetcorn pasta sw chips and pork chop with runner beans and gravy. For supper she...

Hi, she wants to lose weight because she is teased at school about her weight. According to the BMI scale she is slightly overweight but she has become more reclusive since she put on a few lbs, her confidence has decreased also. Basically, little girls Can be nasty and although she is big...

I am restarting sw with her as I have a stone to lose. Can anyone offer suggestions on a pack up for school

Good morning, My 11 year girl currently weighs 116lb (52.8kg) and is 5 foot 1, She isnt very active apart from a few times a week we go for a walk and walk an average of 2-4 miles. Does anyone know how many calories the average girl of this age and height should be eating? Would she have...

Hi candy, I lost 5 stone last year doing a calorie controlled diet but EE is fantastic. Hopefully I can get down to target this time around.

I am on slimming world extra easy and in my first 3.5 weeks i have lost 9.1lbs which i am very happy about

I ended up losing 6lb in my first week on slimming world. Seems, i fell into the average values lol. See what this week brings

just counted 75 for my first week on EE

Well whats happened here then! I feel a littel bit used and hijacked, my thread has turned into a handbags at 20 paces brawl......And i have front row seats whoop whoop, carry on regardless and dont let me stop you. In fact wait, ill ship over some mud and well make it a an official minimins mud...

Thanks, This is great news

I am doing slimming world at home and after 1 week i have lost 6lb. Whoop whoop happy bunny here!!!

Ive only been here a week and I already think you are a slimming world recipe guru. I have made the mcdonalds muffins (loved them) and the slimming world soup ( loved it) and the slimming world chips(yum yum) Today is egg custard day Cheers pal your a legend

Wait a minute....I see we have male posters on here at long last. I was beginning to think i was the only man amongst all these women :) he he. I guess most men are readers and not posters, Me, I am happy to recieve all the advice i can get

How many syns for the scone and pitta? thanks

Holy **** i will have to rethink that plan then thanks

As of this morning i am 5.2lbs down from my starting weight. As long as it remains at this or lower on weigh in day on Tuesday I will be one happy bunny

Forgot the flipping onion!!!!! Just used passata with garlic and herb, a tin of baked beans, water, oxo cube (beef) I wasnt sure about adding the carrots in case it made it too thick!!! Turns out im to thick because i forget the onion...Tut tut, what a fool!! When using as a soup what is it...

How many syns is this Morrisons wholemeal baked for you bread? Its 84 calories a slice which would suggest 4 syns per slice but surely that cant be right?

I disagree with this mentality 100% I have asked a bunch of people what their average weight lose was! It has no bearings on them being a 7 stone athlete or a 50 stone lazy ass. If 50 people tell me that they lost 7lb in the first week and 50 people tell me they lost 3.5lb in the first week...

Late night boozed up forum text...EXCELLENT! I am only 5 days in so cutting out all the guilty pleasures for a little while till I get my feet planted. Enjoy the bad head and ill look forward to the "never drinking again" rant in the morning

Let me say that I am a person that cant usually stick to anything for too long before the old habits kick back in etc. But... for those of you guys just starting, here is a boost for you. Truth be told, if I can do it...anybody can! and after

In the positive spirit of a mans compliment compared to a womans compliment...."I would" lol Well done you look fab

I was the same, "do they mean it? are they just saying that to be nice" I still dont believe it now tbh. Best way is to get out the old photos and look at the new to compare. believe your eyes and not your brain

We all are!!!! lol x

Excellent well done

Thats fatorexia at work right there lol x

Day 5 diary looks like this. I could do with an expert to look over my first 5 days and just iron out any creases 2 x egg (free food) 2 x wholemeal bun (hexB) (2 syns) 1 x 70g extra lean pork mince (free food) 28g of cheddar cheese (hexA) 1 x rocky blue chocolate bar (5 syns) 1 x...

Its true though. Peoples confidence grows as the waistline shrinks, depression decreases but mentally we will always be fat. When i look back over the photos of me at my biggest (18.5 stone) to my smallest at 13 stone i see a MASSIVE difference that I dont see in the mirror

I call it fatorexia, like anorexia only in reverse. We are fat in our minds therefore we look and feel fat even though we are healthy etc.

At my biggest i was 18.5 stone. A few months into my weight lose last year some one i hadnt seen for a while pulled me aside and asked if I had cancer! I then revealed i was dieting and we had a good laugh about it- Not cancer, but the fact i had gone from large to small...er

Its a massive difference! We are our own worst enermies at times, Trust your eyes and not your brain

Excellent well done

Scales are like a new religion to me, I praise them when my weight is down and torture them when its up. I cant live without my daily weight check, its incorporated into my daily routine. I will try and do better though

Permission to come aboard captains- Looking for a group just like this one! A natter and a kick up the ass if i need it- I will offer the same in return...of course!!! A little background info on myself- started my diet on january 18th 2011 and initially the weight fell off like a lead balloon...

1lb was gone again this morning thanks

I had home made burgers the other night served with a wholesale bun and the infamous sw chips and half a tin of beans

Sorry Rockchick I guess i hadnt processed your entire post and i aim to do better. Day 2 looked like this and although im eating more fruit and veg i realise im not eating the superfoods to my advantage... I promise to eat more. Milk allowance (hea) 1 x Banana(superfree) 1 x...

I thought we had a milk allowance of 350mm? It was a small whole meal bun so have included it as a hexb. I am learning, so I am rubbish till I learn the rules. Thank you for your patience Xx

Sw EE does take everything I have learnt and throws it out of the window! I have sat here for ages trying to sort a menu out for the week and so far I have got to tomorrow night!!! Ill keep popping back and hopefully a SW wizard can pop in and shed some light on this for us

I have spent hours trailing through pages on this site so was hoping some nice people could share (hint hint) Much obliged

As per title really. I have a sweet tooth and would like some recipes to keep the naughtiness away. Thanks

Ok, this is how my day has been so far- I appreciate any good or bad comments 1 x Banana + 1 x Orange smoothie (10 syns) 1 x 50mm of milk 1 x banana 1 x fat free activia vanilla yogurt 1 x Batchelors Cheese & Broccoli Pasta 'n' Sauce + asda bag of veg (1 syn) 1 x kiwi 1 x Extra...

When you guys say you have beans on toast, do you use the full tin?

Today is my first day so i cant offer advice but well done on getting started. People are great on here for looking after us newbies. Hope you manage your goals x

Right, thats tea over and done with for another day. I had the extra lean beef burger with red pepper and onion and a few strands of cheddar cheese. I used 2 eggs to bind the mix together but spread it out over 8 burgers. I had a wholemeal bread bun and sw chips with a good helping of baked...

So I have just found out that blending fruit turns it into a syn!!! Please can you look at my diary for today and let me know what you think. 1 x Banana + 1 x Orange smoothie 1 x 50mm of milk 1 x banana 1 x fat free activia vanilla yogurt 1 x Batchelors Cheese & Broccoli Pasta 'n'...

Excellent idea. I lost 5 stone last year by having a daily treat so glad it can be done on sw

Can I ask who here has a daily bag of crisps or a chocolate bar? I am starting day 1 on ee today and i am here for round 2 of my weight lose. I like to treat my mind to make diets/ healthy eating seem worth it. A bag of crisps or a choccy bar would be good daily as a treat. Is this something...

Thank you welsh you have been a big help I have started today with a blended banana and orange smoothie. In 30 minutes ill have some breakfast if im still hungary x

I understand the method behind the madness now! Fill up on the good stuff so u don't eat the semi- good stuff! Message received loud and clear. So melon and fruit before breakfast. Salad or veg with my pasta & sauce Whole meal bread with baked beans and asparagus followed by a fat free yogurt...

Thank you all for your comments. I have decided that the extra easy method is the way forward for me. 2 weetabix with milk & banana for breakie. mild cheese & broccoli bachelors pasta followed by kiwi and orange. 2 slices of warbutons wholemeal bread, tin of baked beans in tommy sauce and...
