I got my 1 stone ward yesterday! and now my very next goal is to get into the ten's! I need to get 2.5lbs off to do it!!!!

I got my first STONE AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! was stuck on STS since JUNE! so VERY happy.... I need to get rest off alot quicker now.. need to be 100% on plan like I was in the first week. (predicted loss on the...

Well done everyone. I STS only 1lb from my first stone award.. I've been slow this month.. need to get it together!

Hello everyone, sorry not been on board for a while.. need to be more consistant. Weightloss has been slow this last month as I've not been on plan 100% of time. I've been 2lb of getting in the 10's (and just 1lb to lose to get my 1 stone award!) for a while now.:doh: I MUST do it this week! I'm...

Hello Just thought it might help to remind people to check syn values on 'fat free' yoghurts.. I got very excited in Aldi last week as they had yoghurts that were designed to look like 'Muller Lights'.. even having the new vanilla with chocolate sprinkles.. pots a similar design.. all designed...

Thanks Becks, that makes sense.. I've often wondered how they discover these things and who they trial them with and for how long etc Hope i've not got this wrong but off top of my head im thinking I always take lower syn value on extra easy.. or most of the time im just looking it up online...

Hi Kel :) wow that's mad she says she's always starving! I agree thats a bit pants lol I've only ever had 2 consultants and both very different.. one lady said to me today that she found it hard when a consultant pushed her to up her weekly target .. I think some think they are motivating...

Hi Jaded, seems we both have been told different things. it's funny because I actually queried it myself as it doesnt seem to make sense to me to be upping my A's and B's to lose weight on success express.. the syns are the same.. but we're just having more superfree on the plate I guess. this...

oops forgot you also said i could email them, will do that too :) though I do believe your recipe book and the 'maker of slimming world' being the one who must def. know! I just think it would be good feedback for them to know its not that clear.

Thank you Keldelacoe :) I figured that consultants aren't just ex members though, they meet with slimming world once a month I think to keep up with their training and new info. I think the 'Success Express' leaflet needs to be made clearer as it's a bit confusing. would phone the number if I...

ok this is where things are getting a bit muddled.. :confused: I had a new consultant today as our usual one was away, who advised me to do Success Express as I really want to get my 1 stone award next week and would need to lose 4.5 lbs when I usually only lose 1.5... I was told to have 2...

Thank you thank you!!!!!!!!! Really wanted to know this :) not too bad either.. Worth it!

Anyone know if this is right I've read 9 of 10 pages that came up in the search for 'singapore rice noodles vermicelli' and still haven't found it :( is it really same as chow mein?

O reposted this here as I think this is a better place for this question Hello, anyone online who can advise me right now? I've done lots of searches on here but still can't find exact syn values for Vermicelli singapore rice noodles from chinese takeaway. I've looked in slimming world...

this is a great diary, going to come back and have a proper look again later.

Hello, anyone online who can advise me right now? I've done lots of searches on here but still can't find exact syn values for Vermicelli singapore rice noodles from chinese takeaway. I've looked in slimming world yellow book, looked at official site and searched on minmins.. keep getting...

This is a brilliant thread thank you, want to wean myself (and my pocket) off of muller lights.. as nice as they are (And love the size of them and the toffee, vanilla and choc sprinkles ones, oh and the new york cheesecake lol) I don't really like the ingredients list.. (too many things I...

:thankyou: You lot are BRILLIANT!! thank you, I've written every suggestion down for next weeks shopping list. I hadn't even heard of frozen jacket potatoes! brilliant! I'm going to properly plan ahead for 'crashes' as it were by buying these time savers and prepare ahead when I have energy...

Ooh that sounds nice, what are the syns in the oaty chocolate milk ?

Thanks Kitty75 I'm writing this on my shopping list! Is all the flavours of rice free? Didn't know they do ready made chickpea Dahl , love Dahl so that's great :) really finding SW is about managing ups n downs and different situations and anticipating patterns, this threads helping me so much.

1lb off this week! So just 9lbs to get off now to get into the 10's whoooooooooooooooo! Well done everyone

Wow 4 and a half is brilliant congrats! I'll have some of that this week please lol

Also thanks mellymel will try rice pudding in pits thing. I bought some mugshotz and was amazed by how filling they are! Can't believe most of them are free :)

Having a crash again :( extremely tired right now and not feeling well. Don't normally buy preprepared stuff so a friend suggested I buy aunty Bessie mash and things like that for when I'm tired. Any other ideas much appreciated! Have been putting other suggestion about doing quorn sausages in...

And well done on yr weightless Lucy Lou and everyone else. Just seen yr later posts! this is my first weight in online lol (went to group but as in posting on forum)

Hi Lucylou :) to get yr ticker click on mine and it will take you to the website to make one. The 50 posts is posts u make yourself. Don't be put off, I racked mine up in a day I think lol just don't be shy posting.. Reply to people, start new threads asking things you've always wondered, share...

Thank you for explaining this AND thanks lilmissmunchines for asking the question! its amazing how someone explaining it is easier to follow then in the book lol I GET IT now! and I'm def. going to follow green days sometimes lol My consultant also said dont worry about red and green yet and...

wow 4 HEXes of cheese!!! I can def see a benefit to green days lol I thought I'd just stick to extra easy as didnt really 'get' red and green but it's all making sense.. thank you !!!

Oh I had a feeling they'd discontinued it :( its good they are updating it but I really loved the look at some of those recipes so hope I can get hold of a copy some where. Noticed Amazon had some with really over the top prices compared to group too, even ebay!

do the healthy extra on green and red have to be different? so if you can have 2 A's and 2 B's on red and green for example, can that mean you can have double the amount of cheese than on extra easy? or does it have to be different ie a milk AND a cheese, hope that makes sense?

It's funny as in my first week when I did really well it was my star week! but when it started to get challenging I swear it was my PremenSTARal week... I think we should have that as a new term.. there are only 2 weeks when its all fine and dandy lol so yes look at the total for the month...

I really want to get to my Club10 soon as possible, it's not my next minigoal but it IS a goal.. I started at 12.02lb, lost 6 in first week, 1 in second, and sts on third. I'm now 11.09, My first aim in 5% (only need to lose 1 more lb and I'll have done that that will be a grand total of 8lbs!)...

Hello everyone, I'm still a Newbie here and thought I better start my food diary! I'm 5ft 5 and started this journey at my biggest of 12stone2 In my first week I lost 6lbs, then I lost 1lb and last week I STS. So I figured I need all the support I can get to stay on track and this food diary...

What a shame quorn sausages used to be syn free! do slimming world make any savoury foods, like how weight watchers does ready meals?? you'd think that some where would see how much we all want syn free sausages again! Any manufacturers listening???

Something I've learnt today from looking all around this forum is that it doesnt matter how it comes off if you stick to it will get you to where you want to be.. one lady I saw today was losing 1/2 a pound a week (not even visible on most home scales) and she lost 3 stone that way! I lost 6lbs...

Hello everyone, all great incentives. I have a few.. Healthwise I want to stop being breathless, I know this isnt down to my weight (it's some other health stuff:heartpump: that I hope docs can sort or I can heal from soon) I also had a freak :character00264::ambulance: which contributed to me...

Have just read a copywrite notice on slimming eats website that says not to post recipes elsewhere..so deleted it but ive written to ask if it can be pasted here.

Found a couple! Just found out you can't copy and paste recipes in here even if you are crediting the SW site etc. There is a pavlova on official SW site and one on a great site called slimmingeats. let me know if you try it and if u can post pics!! :)

forgot to mention that I know you said you didnt like yoghurt but cooking with it isvery different.. creamy sauce for pasta.. but ive started to use quark since doing slimming world and sometimes creme freshe is tastier and doesnt have too many syns per tablespoon. (sorry if thats obvious no...

I would like to find one of these too... in my first week the snack that kept me going was a meringue nest (3syns) squirty cream (2 syns) and fruit (strawberrys or frozen berry mix) on top! amazing.. helped me eat more fruit and tasted so good.. sometimes I smashed up the meringue and it was an...

I have had a 'fake' version of that 'ohsosimple' porrige where you can just fill up the bag it comes in with right amount of the milk. pop in microwave.. then I put mixed bag of defrosted berries on top. or 2 weetabix and 1 chopped banana cooked breakfast (bacon medalians - as the fat is...

Hi Emma, I feel same sometimes, wish I could afford a personal chef! lol sometimes its the planning and motivational side of things that cause our issue with food in first place, I find the organizing side of it a bit challenging at times. As soon as I have enough posts on here I should be able...

Thanks Kitty, I have some soya sauce but never liked it that much but maybe it'll be better with the oyster sauce! Take it they're syn free? Just did a search on SW site for the mushy pea curry but it wasn't found, is that on here instead? I do love noodles! Any good sauces that are low or free...

lol I'm racking em up already while learning loads asking all the things I've wanted to ask and its great (though I have spent way too much time on here lol) and I think its a great idea to get us comfortable posting lots and keeping the forum very active. Already I feel very supported and its...

Thanks Jevo33, I weirdly prefered the chips when I cooked them with the par boil/oven/fry light thing, but I'm thinking anything that removes just 1 step ie parboiling will help me. Im very tired at the mo and need to wash up pans to parboil lol and thats stopping me doing it, Im thinking hmm...

Congratulations! 4.5 is a big loss! and I needed to read the water water water thing. I'm on wek 4 body magic bronze but Im def not drinking enough water and think its contributing to tiredness and have wondered whether Im holding on to too much water because not drinking enough.

4.5 mins from frozen, thats going to be a BIG help! and precooking em too. Stewed steak in gravy, as in already cooked? wow didnt even know that existed, LOVE carrot and swede mash, never though to get that already made up either! superfree all the way lol thank you all so much, have recieved...

quorn sausages good idea thanks! I bought some last week but ran out now, though they seemed to take ages.. (I guess when you're tired even 15 minutes seems a long time lol) how long do they take in microwave? I grilled mine and they stayed very anemic looking lol I'm in middle of trying to...

Thank you!, I really need to make the spag bol and lasagna, I'm yet to make it yet! though I've collected every SW recipe from the the website and made the grandest folder on the computer using 'microsoft onenote' (which is brilliant by the way for organizing recipes), if only I spent the energy...

Thats AMAZING! well done! 3 stone is exactly what I want to lose so thank you for inspiring me! Good to know that 1/2 lb consistantly works well too!

good plan thank you, I do love cooked breakfast any time of day! I hadn't thought to look in book and make a note for next time i go shopping.. planning is most important thing for success with this I think :)

Hello there, just wondering if anyone has any advice, recipes, or snack ideas for when you are VERY tired :gen147: and can't cook.. I know the sensible thing is to batch cook when I have energy but I didnt anticipate this 'crash' had a great first 2 weeks cooking slimming world chips, making bar...

Hi Sibella, lol yes I keep trying to edit my sig to put on mini goals but no lol so my first mini goal is to get signature rights lol how do you get your lil stickers up there? is there an easier way then what I been told so far? I've got my 1/2 stone award and want to display it so much LOL

Count me in! I'm the same as you Clara 11.9, started at 12.2 3 weeks ago, had a great first week and lost 6lbs, then the second week only lost 1 lb and then last week maintained /STS was fed up, but I had gone over my syns for first time after going to a pub and them not having any sensible...

Can anyone tell me what the benefits of an actifryer are? timewise to cook chips etc and anyone does a comparison of the traditional slimming world way and the actifry way with frylight? I know I can look up price online too but if anyone know rough prices too that'd be great :) Also do they...

Hello everyone, thank u for your suggestions, I am a member of the group and meant to ask my consultant on Monday but as I couldnt see it on the slimming world site anymore assumed it was discontinued, will def. look on ebay and hopefully my consultant will know somethng about it. Good luck with...

Thank you :) I thought doing the ticker thing was a faff ok more faffing needed..

Just watched it and thank you ! very motivating, I've noticed same thing about looking younger as you lose weight, I can't wait to lose these 3 stones, we lose stone we lose years, double win!

lol yes I did but I wasn't sure whether the quotes meant to go before the post or not.. so many things to get our heads around on here but I have a ticker now wooo

by the way how do you post your half stone award? I want to see my shiny award as its the only thing keeping me going at mo as maintained/sts last week

lol I did this too but had mixed results, first time was great as I dont think it froze too much.. second time I'd left it in there for a couple of days and I needed a pick axe to eat it! I def. want to perfect the technique as if the mint choc ones taste like mint choc chip then I can stop...

Hello, Does anyone know where I can get the slimming world summer recipes book, I saw it online (though not to buy) and it was full of wonderful picnic type things but when I went on slimming world site I can't see it and its not being sold at slimming world, any ideas? or do they only bring it...

The real minimilks have really helped me, they are either 1 or 1.5 syns depending on make. I LOVE the vanilla one and chocolate ones. Multipacks at most supermarkets

I lost 6lbs in my first week on maximum syns, 1 lb the following week so got my 1/2 stone award week2 (max syns) and then maintained on 3rd week ( went over syns on 3 days (flexi days), didn't have a good week) Set a goal of 4lbs this week but no clue whether I'll do it or not, think I need to...

Hello :)hope so, either that or it's me being :d'oh: finding my way with this board and with slimming world lol Absolutely loved it first two weeks but didn't have such a good one last week so figured the extra support on here may help. I really like the idea of mini goals, so just want to work...

Newbie here! Hello:) I had week 3 weigh in on Monday but only just got round to activating minimins. Having issues editing profile as it says I haven't posted enough yet? Is that normal? Just want to fill in stats and put in mini goals like I've seen some of you do (great idea!) and put my...
