yay glad to see the site back. I know what you mean about starting afresh, I so need to do that myself. Heres to new beginnings and new losses.xx :)

Hi, I haven't posted on the forum for a bit as Ive been busy with another forum. Im a yo-yo dieter and started SW many years ago at about 25 stone. -it probably was about 2004. I lost 6stone on the plan. Since then Ive yo-yo'd a lot. My average weight is about 23 stone. However after...

I tend to split mine over the day. I wont eat breakfast but will have a coffee, lunch is usually about 1pm and I'll use roughly 150 cals. then I'll have a jelly at about 3.30pm-my sons snack time and dinner around 6pm and will use the remainder of my calories. everyone is different, however...

Do you like tinned tomatoes, perhaps they would be a good option instead of beans. or I know Turkey rashers are low in calories. Good luck, you will get there. would it be better to have a salad for lunch at work? Today I didnt have breakfast and found I survived ok until lunch. In fact it...

yay lucky you. we dont plan to go until next year. We usually stay onsite at Disneys contemporary resort. :) do either of you use the Dis or dib for planning tips? theyre both good.x

Morrison have had it in stock for a long time, always wanted to buy it but wasnt sure on syns. Its £1 a jar at the moment, so I stocked up. ;) when I read the calories on the side, thought it cant be many syns. its very yummy!

I need to lose my husband :D Im close to losing my son ;)

sounds spot on to me :) well done.x From now on it does slow down a lot but you should still average about 2lbs per week. It varies person to person though.x

On most airlines websites under your booking you can request low fat meals. I know they wont be 100% Dukan but theyre usually a salad, or whatever comes shouldnt have the sauces on. you tend to get a lot of food on flights-I think so anyway. Theres 3 of us, we all mix and match our meals. so...

apart from the balsamic, ive had the same lunch :) Im loving Dukan too, cant wait to lose the next couple of stone. At the moment, im the lightest ive been for a couple of years :D

thats great to hear. :)

woohooo well done :D

sounds like a great plan, good luck.x

my laptop has been playing up, so havent really had much chance to post my food diaries. hopefully getting a new one soon :) I lost 2lbs this week, soooooo close to losing 2 stone. Im sure i'll do it next week.xx

I noticed a few supermarkets have had trouble stocking cottage cheese at the moment. Sainsburys havent had any for a few weeks-not sure whats going on?! glad you found something nice to eat.xx

you can have oxo's and for ketchup youre allowed reduced sugar or make your own. The reduced sugar is fairly expensive though,so I have a bit of normal and im doing ok :)

I would go for sw red days, its very close to Dukan but youre allowed a few extras that you may be missing with Dukan. theres been a few days where ive been out or away and havent been able to follow Dukan 100% however these days have still been very good sw red days:)

thanks :) will try and post my diaries as often as I can. Monday pp b-quark & sweetner s-omlette l-roast chicken leftovers s-jelly d-homemade burger, oat bran galette.

hahahaha I know exactly what you mean. When I started Dukan I was craving any sort of vegetable after 1 week. Enjoy your salad the first bite will be like heaven :)

welcome back, good luck.xxx

Hi, ive been following SW for a few years and although at the start I lost 6 stone for my wedding in 2004, I put most of it back on. I kept losing and gaining the same weight, for the past few years. Last summer I did Dukan for a few weeks before a holiday, I loved it and lost some much needed...

lost 4lbs today-was a nice surprise as I thought itd only be a couple. :)

woohoo well done. shame youre not feeling well though-heres hoping you get better soon.xxx:)

awww poor you. weve all done something like that, its nice to see what you can find in an emergency. I usually buy seafood sticks or prawns, sometimes a salad. Ive bought chicken pieces before-until I realised what they contain. its better to eat something-even if its not quite 100% than...

I do this too-sometimes its 3 pp and 4 pv. although have to admit during the last school hol I just stuck to pv days.

Like you I use 2 sets of scales. I do my weekly weigh in at a local Boots-its my day out and I treat it like an occicial weigh in. Then during the week I'll use my home scales for sneaky weigh in's-however my home scales show me as 5lbs heavier. Ive always said to people that every set of...

I know a few who tried Quorn meatballs on SW but they found they didnt hold their shape. I usually just use meat and herbs to make mine-I know some add their oatbran to the meatballs. :)

I love the Dukan bread too. so easy to make-theres a couple of recipes for it in the recipe section. The recipe I use has quark and it works well. :)

welcome :) Of course you can do more exercise-although I wouldnt go too ott when youre on the attack phase. good luck.xx

just look in the recipe section:) I found one the other day I thought was nice.

good luck.xxx

well done, youve done a fab job, keep up the great work.xx

I made these today, very simple to do and looked great. meant to add some goji berries in half the mixture but forgot-will do it next time. Had one so far and it taseted great, going to make some topping to go on the top. :)

-1lb this week. pleased as school hols, so eaten out a lot and mainly had PV days. back to normal next week. :)

dont feel embarrassed, Im sure many of us have been there. I know several times Ive ended up heavier than my beginning starting weight. youve taken action before it gets to that stage. good luck, you know you can lose the weight. :)

After finding out pork was allowed the other day, I did buy some lean pork chops. It was nice to have something different but I know pork is a fattier meat-so will only have it occasionally. I didnt realise the protein/veg quantities-I do have loads of veg. If I find I start to stall then I...

Ive followed SW for years and people were making changes to the plan to suit themself. I used to say that any changes they made, meant they werent following the SW plan. Its the same with any diet, you make changes- so youre not really following the plan. If you dont lose weight, then you cant...

wow you look amazing.:) After the past few years of being unable to get under 20 st, youve prooved to me it can be done. Thank you and good luck getting to your goal.xx

-2lbs for me this week :) not bad for me as its school hols and I dont normally do well. :D

I really enjoyed SW but find at times it can be too relaxed. youre allowed to use syns of bad foods and can even have off days (flexi days) It fits in well with families, however their new plan-Extra easy isnt for everyone. Some struggle with it, some do brilliantly with it. Slimming world is...

hopefully someone can help. theres a calorie counting section-I think, they may be able to help. I know when Ive watched programmes like Biggest loser and Obese-a year to save my life. They generally allow 1500. although you have to take into account actual weight and any exercise you do...

Hi, welcome to the site. well done on making the step to lose weight, it can be daunting when you have loads to lose but take it a step at a time. good luck with calorie counting, it can be done. Im sure theres a calorie counting forum, so it may be worth seeking it out. youll get lots of...

Ive just got round to making some Dukan bread today. it was delicious, couldnt really tell any difference. I put a bit into the toaster and my son and husband had a bit, they loved it too and thought it was normal toast. really enjoyed making a sandwich today,will do it again in the future...

wow thats brilliant!:) well done.xx I thought I was a bit ambitious hoping to lose 100lbs in a year. youve just inspired me to proove it.

woohooo well done.:) I always gain loads when I go on holiday, next time it will be different as im going to Australia to stay with family. I can have more control and hopefully come home with nothing to fear.

I made one of these last night. I read the recipe last week and tried it last night from memory-I didnt do too bad. It was very handy as I hadnt had my oatbran and wasnt that hungry-a quick snack and pretty tasty

I love sugar free jelly too :) One thing I do like to eat is cottage cheese, mixed with large prawns and a chopped hard boiled egg. It may sound weird but its lush :D

Good luck with your restart, just take it a day at a time. youll get there in the end :)

Hi, welcome to the site. what diet are you following? good luck, I know you probably think its a long journey but cut it up into smaller goals. every stone/half stone-reward yourself-not with food. I always think those with a long journey should have a big reward for target. When I get there...

Thanks, I know 2 is a fab amount to lose :) esp as most of last year on SW, I maintained or struggled to lose 1lb.

-2lb for me. :) was hoping for a little bit more but always pleased with a lost. thats -18lbs in march woohoo! well done everyone.xxx

Thanks everyone :) Well I weighed in today and lost 2lbs :D, was expecting 2 but hoping for a little bit more. would have loved 5 to get me in the 23's-will have to try that next week.......... Although its half term next week, I usually struggle but have tried to buy a lot of extra things...

I thought it was disgusting too. theres a similar one now but with fizzy orange -just sounds yuck to me :p

yeah he said something about children should be weighed, if theyre a healthy weight during tests/exams then they should get more marks.

The day after I start posting it all changes on me :giggle: Its similar to other forums, so not too different. glad to hear the stats will be back, I noticed I can still see them on my profile. Just miss seeing them next to everyone posts.:)

do you like Jelly? Ive been having a couple of them to snack on during the day, sometimes I top with yoghurt or quark. just an idea for a different snack.

I saw he was trending earlier this morning, so clicked on some links and saw the news. It hasnt put me off Dukan :)

welcome to the site, I too have a similar amount to lose. Its fab youve already lost, good luck.xx

cool, think I might test myself.

hahaha thats fab

I cant wait for weigh in this week

prawns

Someone cutting grass

I watched The Hungar games the other day, It was ok but not as good as I thought it would be. :)

we love Walt Disney World in Florida, been a few times. Off to Australia next year :)

Dont let others get you down or put yourself under too much pressure. I find I lose the weight better when Im happy and not stressed. This is YOUR journey, dont let anyone spoil it. Keep up the fab work.xx :)

Hi, hope youre still doing ok?

thanks :)

good luck, it looks great. Heres to a great first week :)

well done so far. :) I know what you mean about weight coming off slow for your size. I used to maintain or lose 1lb most weeks. everyone would say that it was good but when youve got so much to lose it hardly dents the amount to lose. hope youre doing ok?

Hi, well done on your 7 stone loss. good luck for getting to target.:)

great loss this week, well done.:)

youre doing brilliant. :) I think they meant the stats in your profile. just adding in your starting weight and current weight etc

Im on week 4 of my new dieting plan with Dukan. Ive lost 16lbs so far and loving it. I started at 25'6- im now 24'4. I havent set a goal yet, as im just focusing on losing the weight. I just want to be comfortable and happy :) see you all on the board :)

I watched that yesterday and thought the same. The action was slow to come and when it did, it was blurry. A 1lb gain isnt too bad, seeing as you wasnt 100% youll soon get that off plus more. good luck.xx:)

I know what you mean about checking the weight limits on exercise equipment. drives me mad that a lot of the weight limits are about 15 stone :mad: Im looking forward to clothes shopping, I went into New look the other day and just thought. I love to be able to shop in here and know theyd...

cool, I too thought pork wasnt allowed. will have to buy it occasionally :)

Hi, In the past I have always disagreed with people changing elements of the SW plan. They made the plan for us we have to follow it. I dont think just upping the cereal will give you enough fibre to make the heb. Its why you need the scan bran-you can also have half a ryvita ;) however...

KFC isnt as bad as expected. I think the chicken has about 6 syns, if youve taken the skin off, youve reduced that even more. :)

hey im sure theres a lighter life section on here. Im sure someone can help. :) Im sure weve all tried the same diet many times. If youve lost on it before you can lose on it again. Are you sure it is for you? If you struggle to stick to it, it could mean its not the right thing for you...

youve had a couple of weeks of good losses, sometime the body doesnt always lose each week. Its a pain esp when you havent changed anything. see how you do this week-sometimes the body holds the weight and lets go the next week. do you go to class? get your leader to check over your food...

hi, I too have over 10 stone to lose. It can be done and we will do it. good luck.xxx:)

wow youre doing amazing! Id love to be at my pre pregnancy weight-10 stone lighter :p good luck with getting to your 100lbs for your mates wedding.:)

Hi, yes Ive got the book and recently brought the Dukan life plan one. Think the updated version has a fab layout. Ive also read the FAQ-very useful :) I got my true weight from the Dukan site, it was in the mid 13's, so ive got at least 10 stone to lose. Im going to work hard to get past the...

good luck, im sure youll do well.xx:)

I keep meaning to make some meringues, will have to give it a try soon.x

I started making the quiches on SW, it took me a while to realise they were fab for Dukan. I usually make a large one and cut it into 4. I find they freeze ok too, I just leave overnight to defrost and then microwave. :)

Theyre my life savers for when I need a quick snack. :)

yeah Im sure its 1kg a limit. I dont actually eat much dairy, perhaps 100g of cottage cheese, 1 yoghurt, spoon of quark plus milk. sometimes I will eat lots more :)

I havent even thought about what im going to do over easter yet. :eek: Thankfully Im not a chocoholic-I like it but could live without it. :p For me its the school hols that are a nightmare, I just dont get time to plan and cook everything I want for me. Think I may have to spend the next...

I best get saving. :) It nice to have an idea of prices, Im sure I'll need a few as I have lots to lose.

well done on getting into the 25's. how have the last couple of weeks been for you?

Hey everyone. Ive followed SW for a few years and did ok but then gained most of my weight back and struggled to get back to it. I did Dukan last summer before my holiday and lost 2 stone :D After my holiday I went back to SW and ive really struggled. So a few weeks ago I went back to Dukan-...

I agree, stick to attack as long as possible. If it advises you 6 days then try to do 6 days. The protein foods are very filling, so you tend not to eat as much. what type of things are you eating? I find if I have too much dairy type foods eg yoghurts, cottage cheese, quark I find its too...

Ive got a pair of jean, that havent fitted into for years. I put them on the other day- to see how far up theyd go. Not only did they go up all the way but I could do the button up. It was a squish but im sure they fit perfectly soon :D

I know theyre quite nice arent they. very surprising :)

I agree with the others. you can do it by following WW or SW. you dont have to pay huge amounts of money for other diets. Eat plenty of home cooked fresh foods, up your exercise and drink plenty of water. you can do it!

I keep wanting to go to the local butchers. Think im going to start going there once a week. :) Also found out when our local market is, im sure they have a good range too.

they do taste sweet dont they. Im glad I only have the odd couple when I need them. :)

hi, it depends what days youre on. red/green/ee with ee youre only allowed 1 of each healthy extra. with red or green days you have 2 of each. hea's are your calcium so cheese/milk heb's are usually your fibre so bread/soup/cereal. however on red days youre allowed a weight of...

Hi everyone. :cool: Ive been overweight for most of my life. It was never a lot, just a couple of stone so I did the usual to lose- cutting back, extra exercise and calorie counting. It was only after a horrendous childbirth that caused me to gain most of my weight. Since then Ive been dieting...

good luck. I too have thought about surgery but would love to do it myself. Ive tried a few times and mangaed a few stone off but its always come back on. It shows how much you want this as you keep trying and dont give up. good luck.xx:)

sorry to hear that you cant get Orlistat, there seems to be a shortage everywhere. As already mentioned it isnt the only thing helping you to lose weight. you are doing the hard work too! stick to the foods you are eating now, use this site for support. you can do this!:)
