    green days

    Have been back on EE for a while now, weights coming off slowly but all a step in the right direction… what i want to know is though GREEN days… do you still need the 1/3 super free? I always used to do green days and I don't eat so much meat so I think they may be better but do I still need the...

    EE, red or green days?

    Last time I did slimming world and got to target I did mainly GREEN as I was a vegetarian. If you don't eat meat or fish green days give you a better allowance for healthy as and healthy bs.

    'Fed Up' Documentary

    I totally disagree with the your mouth your responsibility theory. The whole reason big brand junk food like coca cola etc get away with it is because they stuff their brands down our throats at an early age and then say things like 'coca cola should be enjoyed as part of a healthy balanced...

    'Fed Up' Documentary

    Fed Up (2014) - IMDb this is what it is all about. Basically looking into WHY as a society we are getting bigger and bigger. Opens your eyes to how most of the problem doesn't lie with the consumer but with the producers. I think the food industry has a lot to answer for in regards to how we...

    'Fed Up' Documentary

    Has anyone else managed to see this. It broke my heart a little bit, especially seeing kids who are struggling so much with their weight and being forced into 'diet' and 'low fat' products. It is interesting watching it from a slimming world point of view because a lot of the foods they eat...

    Extra Easy Gaining weight on slimming world

    hi lolly1981, just looking at how much weight you have to loose it doesn't sound like much and sounds like you are probably quite slim already. when i was close to target last time i did slimming world about 4 years ago (i have the same target weight as you) it took me literally AGES to get the...

    How much weight did people lose before they starting going down in dress sizes?

    Dress sizes aren't consistant in their increments, so the difference between and 8 and a 10 is much less than the difference between a 22 and a 24, this would therefore mean that you need to loose a lot more to drop from a 24 to 22 than you do to drop from a 10 to an 8. So there really isn't an...

    McDonald's

    Personally I feel one of the reasons I am an overweight adult is the belief in 'rewarding' or 'treating' children with junk food. I hope that when I have children (and this may be wishful thinking) that 'treats' will be in the form of fun activities and not rewarding with food. It seems like...

    if you go and join a group it will cost just under £10 - £5 to join adn £4.95 for the week then once you have your books and youve had your talk get weighed and you have everything you need to get started. a lot cheaper than £60 and you might just really like it and want to go back?
  106. abigail09

    nervous about having sins!! how daft?

    aim for 10 syns a day, its a good point so if u need more u can have more and if your weight sticks you can drop them down a little

    Extra Easy completely stuck n confused about syns

    you do need your syns make sure you have 5-15 a day and no less. on a sat night try to make sw friendly choices (vodka and diet mixer). you can have a flexi day every week and it wont affect your loss although when your close to your target it takes a lot longer to shift those lbs

    little disappointed

    thanks everyone, i know i shouldnt compare and to be honest this past week i have been focusing a lot on being 'healthy' not just about loosing weight. i know ill get there in the end
  217. abigail09

    little disappointed

    the only reason im a bit disheartened is because my little sister and i went to leeds last week, she has lost all the weight she put on during the festival this week (3lb!!) and i have only lost 1lb of my 2.5 that i put on AND she had 3 nights where she went drinking. sometimes i think going...
  218. abigail09

    little disappointed

    tonights weight loss was 1lb. have been an angel all week, counted all syns and feels so unfair!! onwards and upwards though, hoping it will show on the scales next week!!

    abigail's new start food diary

    thursday 9/9/09 ham omelette with 3 slices of weight watchers brown danish (healthy b) yogurt, fruit large salad with small portion chilli chicken (2 syns) moroccan lamb with cous cous (1 syn) crunchie (9.5) tea with milk throughout the day (healthy a) 12.5 syns

    weekly syns

    no this sounds ifne. you should aim for 10 a day when you first start and try to fine tune it. if you think about it you have had 25 less than you COULD have had

    what would you rather have?

    i think lily allen for me is who i would aspire to be like, she has quite a similar body shape and i think its achievable for me (as a size 12 like her before she lost weight) to look like her now
  222. abigail09

    Not sure how much longer i can do this!

    i think one thing that happens when you do get to target is you have this dort of idea that when you get to target theres a magic 'happy ideal world switch' in your brain that goes on, stays on, keeps the weight off and we all live happily ever after. it doesnt. when you get to target you end up...

    I keep staying the same

    i know its tough when you feel like your just not getting anywhere. it look me 9 months to loose 1.5stone. how about you go back to basics, start a food diary and make sure you weigh all your helthy extras and syns correctly, its amazing how many times i think i know something only to discover i...

    Your honesty is required...

    no if you wear something long over leggings are fine. my mam is mid 40's and pulls it off fine
  225. abigail09

    Confued about my target - please help.

    i think people worry that sometimes people who loose weight will go too far, a healthy bmi is what to aim for. i read somewhere the average woman wishes they had a bmi of 22 which for your height is just under 10 and a half stone. but anywhere upto 25 is classed as healthy. its just wherever YOU...

    Extra Easy EE on a budget

    to be honest i find ee the cheapest option, and alot cheaper than red! it just depends what sort of thing your buying but for 2 of us weekly shop came to 60 this week
  227. abigail09

    You girls have made me join!

    everything is beter explained by your consultant however ee is basically all red and green free foods are unlimited but you can only choose 1 healthy a and 1 healthy b choice each day (instead of 2) its brill and you still get all the same amount of syns (you juts take the lowest value from the...

    Nervous about wi tomorrow

    right attitude. sometimes life gets in the way, accept it move on and keep going :D good luck hope it isnt too bad (and if its any consolation i put on 2.5lbs last week!!)

    Overeat?

    I think there is such a thing as over eating, yes sw does recognise that you should be able to eat as much as you want but if you are eating for the sake of it your weight loss may be slower. right now (acutally as i type this) im reading a book called 'eating less, say goodbye to overeating'...

    Losing the will

    lets get the facts straight, you have lost 20lbs in 15 weeks. thats absolutely friggin brilliant!! you need to recognise that its an amazing achievement. it look me 9MONTHS to loose 21lbs last year but I got there and felt great. slimming world is not a 'diet' we all know that its a commitment...

    Saving syns

    I suppose what your doing there is just adapting you favourites to SW friendly. thats why food optimising is great you can still have everything you like. i used to do the 70 syns and downwards but nwo stick to 10 syns a day there and thereabouts and if i have to have a flexi day i have a...

    Target Members - How did you get rid of that last stone?

    in all honesty the last few pounds came off by splitting up with my ex, going on a bendre and not looking after myself. i dont recommend that though!! if you could do even 1lb a week you will get there soon enough. I also have 17lbs to loose til target :D:D:D

    confused about syns at nando's

    thats confirmation enough for me... im gonna go for it
  236. abigail09

    confused about syns at nando's

    should i or shouldn't i... ok so i had my nando's today - the book counts the chicken as 6 syns but i took all the skin off and in total am counting it as 3 syns (for peri-peri sauce at .5 syns tblspoon and any little bits of skin that might have slipped through) and the sweetcorn was free (EE)...

    Slimming World Online

    i dont think i would be disciplined enough to do the online version, i need the support. there are LOADS of groups around here, is it just the morning one that is affected then?
  239. abigail09

    Help Pleeease!!

    ive made the lean mistake before, made a huge sheperds pie and the 'lean' (not extra lean) mince was 28 syns :(
  240. abigail09

    confused about syns at nando's

    went to nando's for lunch today, thought i would have 1/4 chicken (asked for the breast because i prefer the meat) with 2 plain corn on the cobs, take the skin off and diet coke. i thought this would be pretty much free (Although the peri-peri sauce is half a syn for a tablespoon but still low...

    Doing SW and WW at the same time!!!

    ive never done ww but dont feel tempted to try it. i love being able to have more if i want, plus when im at work and need to grab stuff on the go i dont think i could weigh everything. what a hassle
  242. abigail09

    Slightly ot - boyfriend working away, affecting my eating

    know how you feel, especially when you spend a lot of time with someone. try and find something to keep you occupied, ive just started painting again but anything really, maybe try to get some body magic in?

    Really fed up this evening arggggggggg

    i hate thin friends, seems like all they eat is rubbish!! my best friend is a size 6 too and all she eats (but only when she does eat) is cheese and cake. its seems like heaven until you realise they only have a few bites of eat a day. i know what i would rather have. like everyone else has...

    Wham Bar

    wanted a wham last night but had a curly wurly for 6 instead yum
  245. abigail09

    anyone else miss the cranberry and yogurt hifi bar??

    apparently the 'ruby' bars are flapjack style cranberry with white chocolate... could be the old ones repackaged but probably very similar in taste if not
  246. abigail09

    Eggs....

    i really dont see eggs being a problem, we have a bowl of ready hard boiled eggs in the fridge for snacking!! :D

    Size 14-16 model "too large to model Plus Size lines"

    the conversion of a US 12-14 is a UK 14-16 not 10-12. Still it is shameful she is clearly very confident in her body and very healthy its a shame the fashion world can't recognise that

    this morning i hit rock bottom

    yes i always do extra easy now as im not too bothered about bread and cereal but extra easy does make life a lot easier. small sabotage so far, went out for a few dirnks with friends every intention of having vodka diet cokewithin my syns, and NO DIET COKE. they had ran out!! in total had a...

    this morning i hit rock bottom

    just wanted to say a big thanks to all your really helpful comments. today is a new day and a new beginning for me i weighed in last night and had a 2.5lb gain. it could be worse. im feeling motivated and have ordered that book jane :)

    this morning i hit rock bottom

    i rarely eat syns during the day ( maybe 1 or 2 max) i think i just need to be a bit more strict with writing things down. i feel like the problem is i started putting weight on after reaching my target when i met my boyfriend and he eats what he wants when he wants and still stays relatively...
