Are beans classed as protein now? Does that mean peas, beans etc are 'unlimited' as such? Unfortunately I missed class this week (it's normally on Thursday night) so I haven't got my new pack. I do know that all my favourite fruits -mango, pineapple and banana- are now no-no's, but I could cope...

I use the Carotina Healthier Oil from Morrison's, it's palm oil and apparently a lot better for you than normal oils. I have just bought some new pans from QVC and they advise not to use 'chemical based sprays' like Frylight as it does cause damage to the coating of the pans. The 'chemical...

Evans do 'comfort pants' in 3 sizes, they soak up the sweat and keep you cool. I have 3 pairs (white, flesh and black) I've just spent 2 weeks in Mexico where it's very humid and I had no problems when wearing skirts/dresses. They are just like cycling shorts but it a lighter/stretchier...

I have done both and would definitely recommend group! I transferred my online membership to group cos I too fell off the rails, the same old message I got online each week didn't inspire or motivate me! I'm at group now and feeling much more positive about my weightloss. Good luck whichever way...

Love Story Marley & Me The Champ National Velvet Bambi 5 exotic holiday destinations :)

I love 'Celeb' but I sometimes think these bimbo's who are frightened of their own shadow are only on for the big payout!! I think a clause should be written into their contracts that they have to do these challenges for more than 10 seconds :O or they don't get paid!! I'm backing Brian and...

I don't go to class as i'm doing SW online, I wish I could go to a taster session to try some of the recipes ;) but there again, I couldn't eat them cos I can't eat food where I haven't seen the kitchen!! Probably best I stay online and away from group lol xx

DYJHI when, someone who's cupsize is way less than yours gets a reduction on the NHS and you are told ' Get your BMI down to below 25 and we might consider it!! FFS do we have to expose our bodies on tv to get anything sorted!! To say I'm well peed off is an understatement!!

Ignore the nasty cow!! It really annoys me when people think they can be so rude to you. Has she got a fault you can comment on? Next time she says anything just say "I will be thin one day but you'll never win medals for your tact!!" Don't let her get you down xxx

I'm actually drinking more alcohol now that I'm on SW!! I only allow myself a vodka and diet coke before bed if I've done some Zumba... I haven't missed doing my Zumba DVD for a month!! I've lost over 2 stone, but more importantly, I'm losing inches!!

DYKT eating stone fruits is good for you i.e. nectarines, plums and peaches will speed up your weight loss faster than apples and oranges ;)

I don't go to class for that very reason, I am ashamed of my weight and would hate for people to know how heavy I am!! I don't mind on here cos I'm anonymous, but if anyone notices how much I'm losing, I just say I have lost a couple of pounds, not a couple of stone!! I totally understand where...

I saw an article in a magazine where a woman had eaten 4 eggs a day for a month and it had no effect on cholesterol levels whatsoever!! When we were kids eggs were a staple food and none of us were fat!! We've all gotten fat and unhealthy eating processed food! I eat loads of eggs now and will...

Hi all, I weigh in on a Tues/Wed morning, please can I join in? I have lost nearly 2 stone but still have a lot more to go ;)

I just say 'sorry, I don't like cakes, sweets etc' and that usually works!

I mistakenly put double the dose of 'Andrews' liver salts in my glass one day and within 2 hours I was stuck to the toilet seat, talk about going through you like a dose of salts ;). It was the best 'clear out' I've had in a long time hehehe!!

I pile my plate high with sf salad stuff and just a little bit of chicken, that way I can kid myself I've had a massive plate full so I must be stuffed!!

Oh, and I forgot to put about eating mango skin can speed up your metabolism and lower your cholesterol (according to my husband who read it somewhere!!)

Apparently if you sprinkle cinnamon on your food it speeds up weight loss!! Just wondering if anyone else had heard that too?

I weigh myself every morning, I'm doing SW online by the way, so I have to weigh myself!! I find that by weighing myself daily, I can get to grips with my bodies fluctuations!! I don't worry if my weight goes up or down as long as come weigh in day I haven't gained ;). I've lost nearly 2 stone...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to lose about 7 stone, I've already lost 2 so I'm well on my way!! I find I'm really enjoying going for long walks with my dog, and it's toning my legs at the same time :) Looking forward to being 10 stone again hehehe!!

I'm doing SW online also. So far I have lost nearly 2 stone. I saw some friends yesterday who really made me feel good when they said I looked so skinny!! I'm not by the way, but it does make you feel good and more determined to lose the rest :)

I lost with SW about 16 years ago. I've gradually gained about 5 stone due to an underactive thyroid, but I'm going on holiday next year to a wedding with about 50 skinny, gorgeous 20 somethings, so now I need to lose 7 stone :) and I know I will do it!!

To my MIL, thanks for constantly going on to me about people who have lost loads of weight!! You obviously haven't noticed I have lost 2 stone, just cos I'm not telling anyone I'm doing SW doesn't mean you can't tell I've lost the weight!!

I like to listen to Queen tracks cos they have a good steady beat that you can follow ;)

I use fromage frais with a spoonful of extra light mayo and a spoon of extra light salad cream and a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard to make a lovely creamy sauce to mix with potatoes and chopped spring onions!!

Soup it is then ;) SW do push their speed soup, now I know why!

I'm on them because my mother had angina so I've been prescribed them as 'preventive medication'...me thinks I should have a chat with my quack!!

Gonna give this a try, might work well with SW KFC chicken ;)

I've had messages from 'Paypal' asking me to change my credit card as it had been declined, luckily I had donated to a charity an hour earlier so I knew there wasn't a problem and it was probably a scam. You have to be so vigilant nowadays :) x
