Not so much a food diary, but I didn't know where else to put my breakfast woes. I work hard, I work long hours, I need breakfast. Slimming world is a struggle at breakfast time. I can't cook bacon, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes in time and I can't eat them at 6.30am anyway. hex b cereal...

I gave up for a bit. life has been too stressful for a diet but back to it this week, going well.

Thursday:Green Yog, apple, alpen (hexb) milk for tea (hexa) Egg salad sandwich (2syns for spread) fruit Veg curry and rice

I have had less than brilliant success so far on SW....6 1/2 kg in 3months. But, the choice is a)give up or b) keep going and I'm keeping going! I hope that by logging my eating on here I can see (or people can help me see) what I need to change. I tend to have 2-3 red and 2-3green days a week...

I started doing 2/3 superfree (success express) as regular sw wasn't shifting the weight...I need a mini break from dieting stress for the jubille then on wed I'll start posting my eats and see where I go. The weekend mini break won't be too disasterous as hubby plans mostly BBQ'd lean meat 'n'...

I give it another two weeks. If I haven't had a decent loss then I'll probably just give up and put it all back on, and some more for good measure. I just don't see why I'm not losing and it's frustrating the hell out of me! I am sick of drinking diet coke instead of wine, avoiding tucking into...

I have been on slimming world since feb and only lost 6.5 kg despite playing bythe rules. no-one can tell my why it isn't working. I did WW once before and found it incredibly restrictive and hard to make homemade meals on. It worked as I was at college at the time,but now, with a busy and...

I am so fed up now. Since Feb I have lost just 6.5kg on Slimming World. Another week of eating really healthily, with 2/3 superfree at most meals and 10-13 syns and I manage just -300g. As I have another 6.5 kg to go and expect to lose 500g-1kg a week on a diet you can see my dissapointment. I...

I'm just into the 10's again but my aim is the 9's. The trouble is SW just isn't doing it for me at the moment. This is my third go (first two online SW, this time alone) and I get half to one stone off then....grind to a halt. I'm determined but how many small losses or STS's can a girl take...

Last night's smoked cod chowder was yummy. I'll post the recipe if anyone is interested. EE Today: Muller yog, shreddies (HEXB) banana and milk (HEXA) Lunch: Tuna salad, fruit Dinner: Meatball curry, rice, tomato salad, more fruit (melon and ginger, yum) Syns: Not yet accounted for...maybe a...

I do wonder sometimes if SW only works for people who had a really bad diet before? I always eat fresh food, cook from scratch using minimal fat etc. Just I eat a few more biccies and a bit more wine than I can use up! I just don't know if I can face WW again.

I'm having a down week too.....I tried damned hard to do success express to the max this week, managing 1/2-2/3 superfree at each meal (a girl can only eat so much salad/veg), fruit and fat free yog, 10syns, my HEX's and...STS. Not a disaster by any means but not the way to lose another 7kg...

Hmmmm. I just don't understand Slimming World. I have eaten at least 1/2 a plate of superfree at every meal (2/3 is tough buthave achieved it for at least half the meals), plus fruit/fat free yog for afters, I have had 10 syns a day and my HEX's and...no weight loss. I do hope I've not reached...

where have you gone???? you ok???? missing your photo's!

Oh My Gosh......I weighed in today and I have broken the 70kg barrier. Ok,only by 100g but when you consider I spent last week on holiday and have only been doing success express since monday that's a HUGE acheivement for me. 69.9kg :-) Summer (supposedly) so I feel more like salads which makes...

Thank you :-)

Your dedication is inspiring so...can I pick your brain? I need ideas for packed lunches I can do on green days on success express. Reds are ok (at least in summer) as i have meat or tuna with a big salad but what for green?

Only time will tell what a week in the New Forest did! I didn't stick to the diet while I was away, but I didn't go mad either...sensible breakfast, a simple lunch and one meal out a day and one pudding or treat a day. We walked and walked and walked....at least 5miles every morning and more...

another STS (well, I'm not counting -100g as a loss!) so sadly I don't get below 70kg before my holiday. I'm surprised it's not a bit of a gain as my mum has been staying which makes following SW 100% hard! I've tried to choose well when eating out but if you don't make soups or scrambled egg or...

Well, I might have STS last week which is a bit :( BUT when I was geting dressed for dinner on Saturday I found I could get into a pair of trousers which really didn't do up before I re-started the diet :) Yesterday was a funny day as my hubby was preparing to go off on his lands end to john o...

oh thanks, never seen chilled sheets of pasta...must look harder!

I made the pearl barley reipe last night (with SW adjustments) and I think it is amazing!

BBC - Food - Recipes : Pearl barley with spinach and pork mince I modified this recipe (no wine, home-made chicken stock, fat removed) no olive oil and made it last night. I used 100g lean pork mice each as a hexb. It was a superb supper! very satisfying and filling. Add the spinach at the end...

Fed up of slow loss so (barring saturdays indian meal....tricky) I'm going to try your express thing for a week! Only me and my mum (no greedy blokes) so hopefully it will be easy! I notice you rarely have any carbs (hexb) with your dinner....does this help? I don't find meat and veg feels like...

There probably isn't a right or wrong answer to my question because I'm discovering thateveryone does SW differently! I'm still trying to work our how it works best for me.... How do you deal with a meal out? I am going for an indian on Saturday. Weekends are normally Extra Easy for me. Should...

Weigh in day....no change. I guess I shouldn't be dissapointed as I did have some puddings at the weekend but every static week is a bit disheartening (I kept to 5-8syns for the rest of the week. Maybe that was a mistake?). Right now I'd give anything to get below 70kg!

This is the recipe....A bit less oil and lean pork mince and I think this will be a good green recipe (with pork as HEXB) BBC - Food - Recipes : Pearl barley with spinach and pork mince Today it's so wet and miserable I've had porridge with cinnamon and truvia (a stevia based sweetener which...

Well. I didn't go too mad at chocolate HQ! But I did have puddings and a little wine. But that's what flexible syn days are all about isn't it? With other diets the sort of weekend away i've just had would have been a guilt nightmare but as it is I just ate as sensibly as I could, allowed myself...

So.....I've been thinking. Would it work if i soaked some lasagne sheets and used them to make my own ravioli? Would the sheets stick? Anyone tried it?

Cous cous and youghurt.....hmmmmm! Well, I weighed in this morning and 0.9kg off :) only another 7.6kg to go :( This weekend is going to be tough as I'm away on a training course and they hold it at....Nestle's Training Centre! There will be chocolate everywhere and the food is really good. My...

LOL. But I'll treasure my extra Shreddie! Anyone got any interesting (quick) breakfast ideas? My current breakfasts include: Weetabix/shreddies (B) Fruit (SF) and mullerlight (SF) or milk (a) Eggs (SF) on toast (B) Or if I'm feeling naughty my new favourite... Toast (B) banana...

Really? I wonder why. Does the supermarket stuff have oil in it generally? I thought this would be a bonus of homemade; just egg, flour, water no oil or preservatives. Wow....I am finding these rules odd and hard to follow! Is it a Slimming World ploy to change the rules every year so you have...

Further digging reveals that if you use i as a flour substitute to make bad things like cake then it's not free, but I'm sure if it's eaten as polenta was intended to be eaten it's probably ok. I had good weight loss the week I made the spicy corn bread....

I'm quite a keen cook and I really want to try making pasta, mostly so I can do home-made ravioli as I'm sure I can do a better, tastier and healthier job than the supermarket! BUT if I buy dry pasta it's free but if I use flour to make pasta aren't I expected to syn the flour? Does it not have...

Bigger healthy extras? I don't suppose I'm allowed a few more shreddies am I? Restricted breakfast cereal is probably the thing I find hardest (although I padded out my meagre Shreddie ration with 1/3 of a melon and some yoghurt today; surprisingly full until lunch!). Thank you for your advice...

But if I make it as intended....soft like mashed potato or make corn bread with it for a main meal (like in an old slimming world recipe) is that ok? I certainly would struggle to overeat it!

Thank you so much for your advice and support! I don't make any of those 'cheaty' things. i find 4.5 syns of walkers french fires sates any crisp craving and 5.5 syns of kit kat does for chocolate! Good luck for your weigh in!

good to find this thread...my caesar salad may not be as bad tonight as i thought.

now i read polenta has been made unfree. grr.

I joined this forum for clarity but after 2 days I'm more confused than ever. I find many of the things I believed to be free now aren't and that eat what you want so long as it's free is a bit of a lie. At least these dicoveries may explain why my weight loss has been slow. Laura; I alternate...

So....why is polenta not free and cous cous is? Cous cous is not a grain anyway; it's a really wee pasta. Do SW really think I can eat more polenta if it's ground up than if it's in bigger lumps? Seriously...I'm losing faith!

A few weeks ago in an attempt to try some new recipes I made a polenta 'cake' with vegetables and chilli (it was from a slimming world cook book so I won't get into the is or isn't polenta free debate, the book said free!). I enjoyed the baked polenta with salad and a little low fat feta. Hubby...

I weigh in at work (on the dog scales) on Fridays and was a bit down to see that 2weeks strict adherance to the plan had meant only a 400g loss. I wished I hadn't abstained from easter Eggs! This is the point where i usually get frustrated and throw in the towel, but instead I had a flexible day...

success express???

Hi Guys, I have been using your site to find out syn values for a while now and you seem a nice bunch so...I've joined up :) Many moons ago I was 13 1/2 sone. I went to WW and got down to 9 1/2 stone and kept it off for ages. I got married, found a way orf working which really suits me, I live...
