Hi all, I'm not strictly sticking to the 500 calorie down day limit, but I am reducing my calorie intake. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be. And at Christmas too :) Hope everyone is getting on ok?

After reading a lot on the forum, I'm going to try the JUDDD method. Yesterday would have been an up day - today will be my first down. I have the day off today, so I'm hoping I can plan what I'm going to eat. Breakfast will be difficult as I love my chocolate porridge! I suppose I could try...

Hi all, Well I spectacularly fell off the wagon about May time and put on more that a stone in those 6 months! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I keep weighing myself and notice my clothes were getting tighter, but it really only dawned on me today when I looked in a window...

Hey, I'm in an absolute mess! I've put on all the weight I've lost and I've so angry at myself! :( I don't know why I keep doing this. Hope you are getting on better than me Xx

Hey, So sorry for not keeping up. I'm not in a good place so my weight has ballooned and I didn't want my bad habits to affect you! How are you getting on? Xx

Yeah I am enjoying thank you. I can eat loads on my calorie allowance, but I need to make sure I don't eat too many during the day so I'm left with nothing at night! Another 1.2lbs off this week :) xx

Still here calorie counting. Been naughty this week by going over my allowance everyday. Eek! Going to start Zumba next week and boot camp so hopefully that'll get me focused again

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that from next week. Maybe limit my fruit to just berries

Wow, that's amazing. I have been going over, but I've been honest and written it all done. I think I'm going to try and reduce the amount of fruit I eat and try and increase my veg. I do eat veg, but it's mainly salad

Hi all, I've been using MPF for a week and got on ok last week, but my weight loss isn't going so great this week. I have noticed that I eat over 300 calories on fruit (apple, raspberries, cherries, grapes and strawberries) Is this too many?

I think after Nellylou's 5lb loss, I think she'll just stick to SW :)

:( Hate star week gains

WOW! Congratulations! You'll be at target before you know it! :D xx

I'm sure you'll be fine :) You've been doing really well. Maybe a change to extra easy will kick start you again xx

Thanks ladies :) Mainly that's holiday weight and I'm still 5.8lbs heavy then my lowest weight at group. Got a looooonnng way to go still xx

Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow. I'm sure you'll do fine :) xx

4.2lbs off! Boom!

Day 5 of calorie counting and I'm quite enjoying it. Weighing myself everyday because, well, I'm obsessed! Put on 0.6lb from my meal out on Wednesday and only lost 0.2lb yesterday, so hopefully I'll lose more tomorrow. First week from my holiday so it's my first official weigh in. Off to a...

Hey - can I get your autograph? ;) Well done on the article

Wow - - dinner looks delish! Xx

I'm not following his rules apart from those two. I'm going to see if I can get the ebook of it and have a flick through. I'm doing ok I think. Went a bit over board yesterday, but back on track today. Even resisted a bacon and cheese wrap from Greggs! X

Yeah, I know, but I know Nellylou also calorie counts too

I'm using My Fitness Pal (I'm MiniMins_New if you want to add me) so I according to that I should aim for 1310 calories. Considering what I've been eating, that's a lot of calories! I went over by 50 yesterday because I went to see the torch and Nandos were there giving out free wings so I had...

Now I'm calorie counting, I've cut my cereal bar eating down to one a day instead of two that I was allowed as a HEB. The ones I get from Aldi are only 62 calories each and are packed full with orange and chocolate :) I find that that they are a lot of calories for what they are. Plus since...

Well done on the weight loss :)

At least you know now not to weigh at home so no peeking! Good luck with extra easy, though remember only one A and B! Xx

Hey, Thanks for that. I was aiming for 1200 calories, but I've gone over today (only by a bit) but I think I'm getting out of my holiday eating every minute routine! :op Xx

Thanks hun :) Think I might have fish and veg tonight. Though I've got some eggs so could make an omelette. Depends on if I can be bothered! Xx

Good luck with group. I'm sure it'll be fine :) Xx

Back on the old wagon today. Not following SW to the letter, but more calorie counting Breakfast 30g Bran flakes (109) 100ml ss milk Lunch Lettuce Red onions Carrots Cucumber Chicken Green peppers Dinner Snacks 100g Grapes 2 clementines Harvest Morn bar (62) Apple Yogurt 80g...

I did have a lovely holiday thanks. I'm sad to be home but glad to be back at the same time! I'm so tired today though. I messed up trying to get over jet lag - I blame the stupid airline because I only managed to get about 2 hours sleep when I was planning on getting about 6! So because I...

Sometimes you need a pig out. Also, if I'm lucky I can sometimes lose weight after a takeaway too! Just try and get back on plan today to mitigate the damage for tomorrow Xx

What a brilliant point! I'm going to put that everywhere now to keep me focused :D Thank you :)

Hey :) Sorry to hear the weight isn't budging this week. Keep doing what you're doing though as it's been working do far :) And well done on not having chips with your kebab :) Xx

Well, hello ladies. I'm back! Back from my holiday and back on the wagon.......from tomorrow. I foolishly went for a nap (damn jet lag) so now I have to stay awake and try to get back I a sleep routine. I'm not back to where I started at SW, but might as well be. I only put 2lbs while on...

Hey, I'm still here, but not in the right frame of mind at the moment. Glad you are still on plan and still shredding :) Xx

I can't bring myself to tell you! Basically, I'm 3lbs I'll be back to the weight I was when I started SW! :( And I've done that over 2 weeks!!! Today is a new day though. I nor going to be able to go to group for another 4 WEEKS! So I'm going to see if I can do it on my own, or at least get...

Well done on the 30 lengths before breakfast! :) xx

Hey, I've completely fallen off the wagon, hence I'm ashamed of being on here :( xx

Well done for cooking healthy things. I probably would have got takeaway! How was your seaside day? Xx

Hey, weekend is going good. How about you? I didn't go for a cycle today, but did a nice 25 minutes on Dance Central! :) xx

Oooooo - seaside chips. I wouldn't be able to resist! Xx

I'm really considering finding another morning group, but I can't as I'm at work next week and need to be in another city Saturday morning so need to leave earlier. I will text my consultant and see if I can weigh in the earlier. Hope everyone is having a fabulous Jubilee. The damn rain ruined...

I had a great cycle this morning :) Really enjoyed, even though I nearly died from not being able to breath halfway through! I'm going to have to go to group on Thursday night. Haven't weighed in the evening before :eek:

Not going to group. Need to focus as I'll have to weigh in one night this week as I can't make group next Saturday. Figure this out! Saturday - 11st 3.2lbs (????) Breakfast 35g All Bran 150ml ss milk

Right, I'm on it from tomorrow. Got a new found motivation this evening. I'm going to cycle every day this week. So I'm cycling to my mums tomorrow as a start. Since I'm not going to group, I get a nice lie in and can set off at about 10. It's about 6 miles, so nice and easy. Need to think...

Yeah, flexi syn it :) xx

Thank you all for your lovely words :bighug: I feel a bit better today - but I emailed my consultant to say I won't be going to group tomorrow. I know it's the most important time when I'm feeling down, but I can't hack a gain while I'm feeling like this. I did have a takeaway last night -...

Thank hun xx

I had to have one of my cereal bars and a yogurt ......then just had two Curly Wurlys! :( But still in my syn limit. Yeah, like I care at the moment :(

Never had tapas before. Have you gone on the SW website to see if there is anything on that for eating out? There are fact sheets on Nandos, Frankie and Bennys etc xx

Thanks hun xx And I forgot my cereal! :(

:cry: Thursday - 11st 3.6lbs

Thank you. I will try on Saturday after my weigh in not to weigh the following week. Even though it is bank holiday!

Portion control on dinner may be a concern, but every thing else has got to be fine. I look at pictures at what others eat and I eat nowhere near as much. Maybe it's because it's TOTM that I'm depressed or its other stuff going on, but I'm feeling pretty low xx

Haha! That made me laugh :) Nothing to do with the restrictions I don't think (as I eat loads and have lots of naughty stuff) but I think it's because the weight isn't coming off fast enough. It might be about food though. I've cut out chips, take away (apart from 2 weeks ago), and sweets...

Dinner looks lovely. I love gammon xx

I'm so miserable. I just ate a chocolate bar. I just want to give up. Really feel like crying :( xx

I'm really fed up to be honest. I used to eat like this before SW (apart from limiting my naughty food intake!) and nothing seems to be happening. Xx

How many syns is rice pudding please?

I'm not spending enough time! I took my salad with me to work and didn't fancy it. I think I'm getting bored now. Need to keep focused. Gotta try some other foods and do some bloody exercise! Xx

Had a change of heart for my lunch. Actually, I was desperate to eat something bad, but my stomach said no! Haven't decided what to do now though. Green or EE? Edit: gone EE

Menu looks good. You didn't look like you ate a lot for breakfast though. I'm going to make SW friendly egg fried rice at the weekend. Looking forward to that :) xx

I had a week of 3 green days and they kicked me back into losing weight, which is weird. I find I can't have carbs at night though, so I have eggs at night if I'm having a green day xx

If I have too many red days, I maintain! Weird huh? Xx

My consultant made a point at the weigh in which I haven't thought about before. He said to vary the superfree food in salads as sometimes people's weight slows down because it's mainly water in it. I don't know what else to have in it though? Xx

Homemade chilli tonight. So looking forward to it!

I've got homemade turkey salad with a load of fruit for afters. I'm starving today - already eaten loads and have only 4 syns left (that is after dinner too)

Bit disappointed with my weight this morning, but I've come to the conclusion that EE doesn't work for me. Tuesday - 11st 2.6lbs (Red) Breakfast 35g All Bran 150ml ss milk Lunch Homemade turkey salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions and carrots) Dinner Steak and veg (cauliflower...

I had a jacket potato with turkey mayonnaise (1 syn) followed by a mountain of fruit.

Woohoo! Well done :)

Oh no, it must have been your tea. Did you eat late? Is it TOTM? Xx

Vegetable frittata. Wish it would cook quicker, I'm starving!

I am having a frittata - need something fast and filling! Xx

Oh no! Sorry about your gain. Was it much? Is it because you ate a heavy dinner the night before? You'll be in for a big loss next week. Chin up hun :) xx

Oh....... I've gone over my syns, but it could have been a lot worse and I'm slowly getting my head focused for weekends.

Yep, back on it :) xx

I lose 0.5lb this week - just 2lb away from the 10s! Well done to everyone :)

OMG! You look amazing now! You look like a completely different person! Well done hun xx

Go outside - its lovely :) Get some body magic too if you can xx

Thank you ladies :) I'm sitting in a field, chilling out :) I've never been more focused since I joined SW! Hope you are enjoying the sun xx

I'm not counting down the hours to my SW BBQ :)

Hopefully they have everything in stock! Fingers crossed for weigh in - but I'm definitely getting a gain :(

According to the ladies on another thread, they said the Sainsbury's Be Good To Yourself (frozen) burgers are 1 syn each and the (fresh) sausages are 0.5 syn each :) Will let you know what they taste like. Unless they were like the Tescos near me which was empty of BBQ food! xx

Every Friday is Subway day :D x

Fabulous! Thank you. I would have been panicking in the fresh meat aisle! Thank you so much for all your help. So looking forward to it

Mmmm, lovely :) Not having pizza until Sunday! :( xx

I have the same thing too. When I walk in the one near where I work, they start making it up for me before I get to the counter! :p

The salads are great. Tuna is sub of the day, so it's cheap too :) Unfortunately, I don't know what the syn values of the chilli sauce would be. If you go on to website, it should give you the nutritional values. I always over estimate just in case. The tuna comes already mixed in with mayo...

Well done! :)

Thank you - you too :) It's Friday, the sun is shining and IT'S SUBWAY FRIDAY! :D

SUBWAY FRIDAY! :D I have a tuna salad from there. I allow 3 syns for the mayo and everything else is free :) Must resist the cookies!

Well, my boyfriend has changed his mind and wants a BBQ on Saturday instead of pizza! Luckily so lovely ladies on here helped me find some low syn pre made burgers and sausages. Going to make some chicken skewers and some jacket potatoes too and a huge salad :) I'm also 1lb away from the...

Thank you so much! Sainsburys it is then :) That's really taken a weight off my shoulders - and it means that I can enjoy the BBQ without making it obvious I'm on a 'diet' I would order Joes - but I need them for tomorrow. Will try them though. Thank you ladies :)

Hi all, My other half has decided that he would like a BBQ on Saturday as "you never know when the weather will turn again" I know I could make my own burgers, but we are out all day and friends are coming round when we get back. I was going to pick up some WW sausages as I know they are low...

Fabulous news! :)

I've got pizza on Saturday, so I'll have to wait till then :( Glad that you are on it :) xx

Love the new bike :)

I have pizza cravings too! Didn't make a frittata in the end. Have a huge headache and couldn't be bothered! So just had some eggs and bacon

Be careful not to pile them up too high (like I do) as they aren't very structural! :D I has a bit of a brain wave - with the bigger ones, you could make a calzone! Nom nom nom *drool*

They aren't as big as the ones I have! LOL :)

Yeah, the bigger the better......pizza that is! :p Looking forward to it. Having loads of veggies on it, but haven't decided on toppings. Might have some pepperoni, but don't know the syn values of it. I've been starving today so walked to Tescos and bought 2 flumps (1.5 syns each) and a...

The Warburton wraps are rectangle (even though they are called squares!) and they are a good size, and a but thicker too. I'm making tortilla pizzas on Saturday, but I bought massive ones from Aldi! Think they are about 8 syns, but will be worth it and they are huge) Think they are about 10"...

It is evident that I won't lose all that weight by Saturday (unless I saw my arm off) but to maintain, I need to lose another 1.6lbs I think that is doable - from Saturday I'll continue to weigh myself everyday, just because I know this is what keeps me on track as well as a food diary.

Well, as dinner was horrible I deserved to lose! But there was quite a lot of (horrible) food. Have no idea what to eat for dinner tonight though! Thursday - 11st 3.4lbs (Red) Breakfast 35g All Bran 150ml ss milk Lunch Homemade chicken salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions and...

I know - but I can't help weighing every day. If I'm honest, this is keeping me on track. I'm going to try this tack over the weekend. Shame about the selling. Don't know they actually do that though. See if anyone at work or your friends would want them. I found out someone I work with was on...

How was your dinner? Hopefully better than mine - mine was horrible! :( xx

I only liked the tex mex soup! You might have ordered yours later than mine - I think I ordered mind in 2009. If it was me, I'd sell them on eBay (which I did with mine) and stick with SW completely. The best thing about SW is that you have fresh, healthy food, not pre packed stuff. I'm...

Wish I had them after my horrible dinner! :( xx

Mmmm, that chicken wasn't very nice :( I thought it was one of those small joints, but it wasn't. It was chicken in the gravy. It reminded me of those meals from Go Lower I used to have! :( Plus, I don't like curly kale! :( Failure really! Xx

Just realised for the first time ever, I didn't use my minimum of 5 syns! So I've had 3 jelly babies to help that! Xx

Having a mid week roast tonight. Got some chicken in gravy from Asda (2.5 syns for half) and having some broccoli, cauliflower and curly kale with it :)

I hate how high cereal bars are in syns. That's why I rarely do EE - 6 syns and I could have a curly Wurly! Xx

I have a mid week roast - chicken, broccoli, cauliflower and curly kale with some gravy :) I looooooove roasts :)

Same as every day - 35g All Bran and 150ml ss milk. I'm going to try and have something different at the weekend though. Might pinch some of your ideas :)

Homemade chicken salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions and carrots) with some light caesar dressing (1 syn) followed by strawberries, raspberries, grapes, an apple and yogurt!

I've had to suffer that the too. Everyone seems to be having a birthday! Well done for resisting - don't know if I could with Haribo!

Thanks hun :) Just need to keep going Didn't go for a cycle as I was home late, but I did do 30 minutes on Dance Central which I love! I was cutting a rug and throwing some spaces! :D Dinner was delicious! Totally recommend those season and shake mixes. 7.5 syns for the whole packet, but...

Let me know how you get on. Purplebint makes them all the time and they look great!

Delicious! I'm really going to try and make SW chips this weekend. Do you freeze yours too? X

How do your SW chips turn out like? I tried them once before and it wasn't great! Xx

Got lose 3lbs (or 6lbs including the 3lbs I gained over the weekend!) so need to stay focused. Resisted the cakes TWICE in the office. Birthdays yesterday and today! Had lots of fruit instead :) Xx

Inches are more important. Scales are just a number :)

Creamy cheese mugshot (3 syns) followed by strawberries, raspberries, grapes, an apple and yogurt!

Sorry about the gain, but you'll kill it next week :) Food looks amazing as always! And I really fancy Nandos now! Xx

I know! He's mean - but luckily no more counters left! I forgot to write down the mugshot - I did know they were syns as like you say anything creamy and cheesey is never free! Harvest Morn bars are 2 for a HEB, but since I'm EE today, they'll have to go as syns :( Xx

^^^^ what she said :) You can do this. You're keeping me on track, so do it for me! LOL :) xx

Bit more prepared today! Planning on going for a cycle ride tonight too. My knee still hurts (and now I feel like I have a trapped nerve in my shoulder!) but going to take it easy while tea is cooking Tuesday - 11st 3.8lbs (EE) Breakfast 35g All Bran 150ml ss milk Lunch Creamy cheese...

Since I'm a serial weigher, I thought I might as well put my weight down to focus me. Yesterday was going so well until I got home - didn't have any veg to go with my chicken! So had to have pasta and a ready made sauce! Then my other half bought Galaxy Counters! :( Monday - 11st 4.8lbs (EE)...

I did - and you're right, back on it. I'm really hoping for this 3lb lose this week (even though I put on 3lb since Saturday morning!) I'm really focused and I'm going to do it. I AM GOING TO DO THIS!

I fall off the wagon at weekends too so don't feel like you're alone. I don't drink, but I ate more than my fair share of syns! If only I could find a way of not sabotaging myself every week! :p

Hi, Welcome aboard :) It is hard to find out what's syn free and what's not. I go to group and a woman who joined 4 weeks ago, but 2lbs on in her first week because she was getting confused! This week, she got Slimmer of the Week and has lost more than me, and I'm on week 10! Good luck...

I have no idea, but I love it! It's all gone though :( xx

It's awesome isn't? I found this picture online and sent it to her. This is apparently test one, so there will be others :D Shame it's not syn free!

Well, I knew today was going to be bad food wise, but I'm proud that I didn't eat as much as I could have. Got a massive (15"!) pizza, but only had 4 slices, but did have quite a lot of cake my friend made me. Check out the pictures - its all psychedelic! BUT I didn't eat the entire cake and...

Another pound off, so only 2.5lbs to the 10s It's a slow journey for me, but I'll get there :)

1lb off this week :) Slowly but surely I'll get there. Made a target of 3lbs this week! Eek xx

Mmmm, I love frittata. I've made it with pasta once, but I quite like it without it.

Yes 20! :( Damn him! :( But, on the plus side I didn't eat the whole bag! Yes, weigh in tomorrow at 8:30. I've been praying to the weight loss gods (it worked last time!) Right, off to bed as I'm pooped! Xx

SUBWAY FRIDAY! :D I have a tuna salad from there - I allow 3 syns for the mayo and everything is free :) Counting down to 1pm already!

Well done on filling up with drinks. Do you have somewhere you can stash secret food for times like this? Somewhere far away so you can't access it easily and secret so no one else steals it! :p Xx

I did end up with what I wrote down in the end. It was yummy! A lot of my meals that have veg will include Brussel sprouts now. I did order mixed veg with my Asda delivery but they substituted it for sprouts. The delivery man said 'they are sort of the same' and I was like 'er, not really!'...

That's some motivation - free, small pants :)

Will be interesting to see how you get on with a Monday weigh in. I'm sure you'll rock it though :) xx

Thank you hun :) I have a confession - I'm not going to group tomorrow! I can't deal with the gain I know I've got (snaky weigh in at home on scales which are exactly the same as group) I know this is awful, but if I go and gain, I know I'll just give up for good. It's been 7 weeks and I...

Same here :) But I'm having a jacket potato

Thank you very much :D All this cheese talk is making me hungry!

I do eat cheese, but most of the meals I cook, do have cheese in it! Apart from today when I'm having a jacket potato for lunch :) Do you know what cheeses I can grab and go? Like mini babybel etc

Hi, Thanks for popping by :) I don't drink the rest of the milk. I don't drink tea or coffee, so I don't have anything else to put it in. A few weeks ago I used to have a small milkshake in the evening to use up my allowance, but the milkshake mixture was high in syns :( Xx

Every weekend seems to be a write off! :p x

This weekend is a write off! :( x

Fabulous! :)

I've been doing red mainly with good results, but mixed a few green days in and felt a real difference (positive one!) It's all dependant really. I haven't properly tried EE as I struggle having only two HEB, let alone only one! Green is a lot cheaper than red though

I ate quite a lot of crap tonight (oops!) so I feel mega bloated Good luck for Thursday x

Hi, Thanks for your responses. I do notice that I fall heavily off the wagon in the middle of my cycle. I need to keep that in mind and have lots of free comfort food. I have been really good this week and it paid off, so I think that the has spurred me on - especially since it's star...

Finally got my head in the game and lost 1.5lbs this week! So close to the 10s I can smell it! :)

Thank you :) That's what happens when you follow the plan! How are you getting on with your combination of food? X

Thank you :) That's what happens when you follow the plan!

Varied my food Wednesday and Thursday - lost 1.5lbs! Super happy :)

Boom! 1.5lbs off! :D Super happy :)

I totally forgot to write yesterday's diary! Breakfast 35g All Bran 100ml ss milk Lunch A HUGE Subway salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions, carrots and sweetcorn) So big, I didn't begrudge paying the extra 50p because they didn't offer Sub of the Day!) Snacks Raspberries Grapes...

That's the best thing about Subway - any filling you want they'll put in a massive salad bowl for the same price. Means it's syn free apart from the sauces :) The park trust near where I live are putting on a drive in movie - they are playing Back to the Future :) How about you? X

Well done on not eating 5 squares :) Don't worry about the naughty food. Draw a line under it and strategy afresh :)

Yeah, I'm good thanks. I like Fridays as I treat myself to a Subway :) So I got a massive tuna salad bowl! Glad it's Friday and looking forward to a long weekend as it's going to be a busy and late week at work

Oooo - how do you make the rice pudding? I looooooove rice pudding and miss it!

Haha! I know! Oh well - if I was good all the time, I'd be boring! :p How are you feeling today? X

Hey - thanks for finding me :) Look past my previous posts and see how naughty I've been! Then don't feel so bad! X

I'm always tired (though about 50% of it is laziness!) so all the dinners I cook are dead easy and take less than 30 minutes to cook. It makes them syn free apart from sauces.

Sorry - ignore this! Totally didn't read the title of the thread! Doh!

Could you post the recipe please? I love kievs :)

Did you manage 5? X

My only comment is, that today is the 3rd! LOL :)

Having a green day today. Long day, so have lots to eat! I haven't eaten all this yet, but I'm just writing it down so I don't forget Breakfast 35g All Bran 100ml ss milk Lunch Wholemeal Pasta Passata Onions Peppers Salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions, carrots and sweetcorn)...

So I had a green day today. Quite liked it: Breakfast 35g All Bran 100ml ss milk Lunch Jacket potato with baked beans Dinner Cod Broccoli Cauliflower Carrots Snacks Raspberries Grapes 2 oranges Apple Syns A finger from a small Twirl (4.5) Cod (3.5) I have a long day...

Have the chocolate - only 5 squares though! :) You'll thank yourself on Sunday x

I think I'm going green today - had a jacket potato and beans for lunch. Not had that in about 7 weeks! Do you know how much fish you can have on green? X

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I'm going to try and vary my food from next week

Hi Ally - thanks for your reply. I am pleased with my loss. I think losing 5lbs at the beginning was bad because now I expect the same each week. I know I'm not 100% most of the time, but I feel I deserve more than a STS. I'm going to keep going. On a positive note, I haven't gained in 7...

Hey, Thanks for your reply. I hate bananas (I do like healthy food, honest!) but I do have a cereal bar and a few grapes in the car - generally when I'm stuck in heavy traffic! :p I'm going to try and find 5 different lunches I can have in the week. I think I'm stuck with my cereal (unless...

That does sound nice (apart from the tomatoes!) I guess I'll just have to find a load of quick and easy recipes for lunch

Wow! There's no way I could do all that for breakfast. I work miles away from home and I can't eat first thing in the morning (generally have my All Bran at 8:30am at work) I suppose I could have a few different cereals to pick and choose from. I don't like plain yoghurt, but I could have a...

Thanks for that. So do you have a different breakfast, lunch and dinner every day?

Thanks for your replies. Yes, I am happy with 8lbs - better off than on, but it just seems like I'm at a standstill. I always expect too much! :p I try and vary my food, but I'm super picky! My dinners in the evening are varied. What do you have at lunch? I've run out of tuna, so I'll have...

My horoscope for today : Taurus May 2 2012 If you want a different result today, you will have to do something differently. You have tried again and again to reach a special goal. Each time it has been just out of reach. And yet each time you have told yourself that the problem was a...

Hi, Thanks for all your replies. I'll try and answer them all: 1. Sadly, my scales are exactly the same as group. 2. Here's a link to my diary http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-food-diaries/266382-new-food-diary-new.html 3. I'm 7 days away from * day, but I lost 1lb last time. 4. I...

Hi all, I've been on SW now for 6 weeks and lost 8lbs. My weight losses have been as follows : Week 1 - 5lbs Week 2 - 1lb Week 3 - 1lb Week 4 - STS Week 5 - 1lb Week 6 - STS Now, I'm no saint, however, I have been really good so far this week and I weighed myself this morning and I'm up...

Well done for sticking to 3 syns of chocolate :) x

Pointless really though, as I seem to be losing f*** all! :( Breakfast 35g All Bran 100ml ss milk Lunch Homemade tuna salad (lettuce, cucumber, peppers, onions and carrots) Dinner 2 Eggs Onions Peppers Bacon Snacks Raspberries Grapes 2 oranges Apple 2 Harvest Morn bars (HEB)...

Well done on the weight loss :) x

STS Again! Gotta focus this week. Going for a 1lb loss for Monday!

I STS this week. Going to really focus and aim for a 1lb loss on Monday

I always fall over at the weekend. I'm going to try really hard to stay focused this time.

Mini Milk - 1.5 syns Curly Wurly - 6 syns Crunchie - 9 syns Freddo - 5 syns Wispa Gold - 13.5 syns Can you tell I like chocolate? :p

I only do red days - I can't trust myself with 'unlimited' carbs! Both red and green suggest having 1/3 superfree, but in EE it is essential. I thought I couldn't live without rice or pasta - but I fill my plate with veg, and if I'm having roast, carrot and swede mash. Nom nom nom :) You...

They are delicious, but evil! 20.5 syns!?! Oh well. I'm going to try and do some exercise tonight. Hopefully that'll mitigate the damage.......maybe! X

Well done ladies :)

Haha! :D

Love Freddo! I have a mini toy from an Easter egg I got :) Well done for doing the best you can. Have you got an Aldi nearby? I've been going there the last two weeks to get fruit and veg. It's so much cheaper than the supermarkets. Hope you are feeling better :) x

Fabulous news! :D

Wow - what a vent! :D But that's what we are here for xx

My thoughts go out to you and your mum xx

Well, luckily it wasn't actually on cakes like the last one I did, so I've just brought back some sugar craft flowers :) I'm rubbish at anything domesticated - I go with my friend from work who is amazing. I'm going to try and stick to plan as best as I can. Outside influences are making me...

Well done on the weight losses ladies :)

I would have thought Green would be the cheapest plan? Big old bag of potatoes, loads of tins of beans and you're laughing :D
