Thanks Girls;) Well, I had put on a pound! Not what I wanted, but I'm just telling myself that because I know I have been good, I should have a good loss next week! I'm having a bit of chocolate and a hot cross bun as a treat tonight and then straight back on it tomorrow! Hope you all have...

No worries! 6 Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy 6 Syns per package/portion on Green 6 Syns per package/portion on Original

According to my scales (which are pretty accurate!) I have put on a 1.5 lB'S! I feel really down about it! I have been good all week and am now wondering why I bothered! I know it is more than likely because I am due on and retaining water, but this is my first gain, and it would have to happen...

Lovely photo! Your kids are gorgeous! (as are you of course!!)

If you post the nutritional info I can work them out for you:)

Just normal vegetable oil. The eggs are free,so it is only the oli they are cooked in that counts and the book has fried eggs listed as 1 syn each! I do use kitchen towel to absorb extra oil before eating them, but still count them as 1 syn each!

Hmmm,I think I would count that as a red day and have some extra HEX's! You haven't really taken full advantage of the EE plan, all of the food you have eaten other than your HEX and syns are free on a red day anyway! You could have had some pasta or potatoes with your fish and it would still...

Mostly treats! I have just had 50 g of low fat ice cream (4 syns) and a curly wurly (6.5), but I will use a few to improve the quality and my enjoyment of meals,for example, this morning I was having fried eggs, but I don't like them done in fry light, so I just had 2 normal fried eggs (2 syns)...

If you are not following the plan properly by having your HEX then it really isn't a healthy diet! You need to have HEXA for dairy and HEXB for fibre! It may also affect your weight loss, as eating less is not always a good thing! If you don't eat enough, your body will hang on to everything in...

It affects me the week before! I retain water, am really bloated and it usually shows in my losses! I also retain water and have a bloated tummy around ovulation time too, and i'm sure that affects my weight loss! By the time my actual period comes around I am less bloated and usually have an OK...

I'll be honest, I think you will struggle only having the free food book! I think it would definitely be worth your while joining a class, even if it is only for the first week to get the books! I have fruit and yogurt for breakfast, fruit for snacks (occasionally some ham or laughing cow...

I think the biggest problem you will have is that a lot of products that used to be free are now syns, and they are not particulary low either! For example, corned beef is now syns, as is tinned macaroni cheese, spaghetti bolognaise, ravioli etc! Those all used to be free! And there are probably...

I had steak, slimming world chips, salad and corn on the cob tonight! It was delicious!! Yummy!:D

I forgot to post last night! I lost 1LB, which I was fine about because I have been out to eat twice in the last week!;)

Good luck to you Tracey:). Not that it matters too much before hand, but it will when you are pregnant, but some multi vitamins are not suitable for use during pregnancy! Too much Vitamin A for example has been linked with birth defects, and is one of the reasons pregnant women are advised not...

Well done everyone:). I lost a lb today. Not a huge amount, but I was happy as I didn't have a brilliant weekend!

The lamb was indeed yummy! The only issue is that because lamb is a fatty meat, the juices were quite oily! I skimmed quite a lot off and it was so goooood when I added a bit of gravy granules and reduced it down LOL, but I think it probably has a few more syns than I first thought! Well...

A friend gave me this recipe for lamb, which she thought could be easily adjusted to become a slimming world EE meal! Five hour lamb 1 large leg of lamb salt black pepper olive oil (little bit!) 6 rashers of streaky bacon 3 red onions, peeled quartered 3 cloves of garlic 2 handfuls of fresh...

ooooh, Mrs V, I spent 7 years at Middle wallop! Lived in Andover for a couple of years and then moved next to the camp in to the new houses.I worked in the AAC pre-school above the old cook house!! Hoping to get back 1 day!!

I'm Nikki! I'm 33 and live in Germany(Dh is in the Army!)with my husband and 2 boys aged 7 and 9! I work as a teaching assistant, which is perfect for being able to spend lots of time with my boys;). I have been on just about every diet imaginable and have reached goal several times *sigh*, but...

No weigh in for me this week! I'm in the UK staying with my Mum! I have been good though and am also using the wii fit every day so, I'm hoping to have a good weight loss next Tuesday. Well done on all the losses girls:)

MMMM, there's some tasty idea's here! Chips are a bit popular then:D

So if time and money don't need to be considered, what is your favorite SW meal? I have 2!Both green! Good old slimming world chips with fried eggs and beans. Yum! Even better served with a few slices of white nimble!! I have to admit though, I don't like fry light eggs, I fry them in oil and...

Hello:) I lost 1lb at weigh in last night. I'll be honest I was hoping for more, as I felt I had been good, but a loss is a loss:D. Well done to everyone else! Some really great losses! xx

You have my sympathy:hug99:. My DH is away lots (I am an Army wife!!). I have another 16 days left and I'm climbing the walls. It's always really hard when you have a date in mind and it changes at the last minute! Shatters all your dreams LOL!! Give your little one lots of hugs and make her a...

Well a pound off for me this week! I am a little bit disapointed and was hoping for more, but it's going in the right direction I suppose! Well done on some fabulous losses everyone:)

Well done on your loss so far:). I agree with what has been said already, it is a plan you can follow for life! It's about learning that you can eat as much as you want of the "right" foods. Losses vary from person to person. Mine are always better if I exercise, but it can still vary from...

The only time WW worked for me was when I was breast feeding and could have a ridiculous amount of points LOL!! Not to knock it,it does work, but SW is definately easier if you have a large appetite (Like me LOL). I hated the way that everything was pointed on WW, even fruit or veg, meaning you...

No, if you go straight on to training instead of body test, it won't show your weight to others! It's only on the body test part of it that you get weighed. Hope that helps.

I don't know how much differnce it makes,but I'm sure it must make some! I try and go on it most days,for between 20 and 40 minutes, I don't come off feeling like I've been to the gym,but it's 20-40 minutes that I would normally have spent sat on my bum, so I must be burning a bit more fat than...

Sounds like a fab night and you have such a healthy attitude towards it,i'msure you won't let it affect the rest of the week:) Everyone needs to let their hair down once in a while and it sounds as if you have a lot of family stress going on, so it will do you the world of good:D

Did Ok, eating out today! Went for damage limitation and have guestimated about 16 Syns for the day, so am quite happy with that! I have also squeezed in 30 minutes on the wii fit, so we'll see what the scales say on Tuesday! I have written down what I've been eating in my food diary!

Hope you're feeling better soon Edwin. My kids have both had a tummy bug, but so far I have managed to avoid it. Well done at the Gym taz! I haven't done much exercise at all this week and bet it affects my weight loss on Tuesday! I was doing between 20 and 40 minutes on the wii fit each...

Extra Easy Day!! Breakfast~ none!! OOOPPS. Just a one off though. Lunch~ Tuna, spring onion and salad cream(light) sandwich. beetroot. Snack~ Ham and laughing cow light. Tea~ Pork steak, rice, tzatziki, salad. Chocolate Birthday cake(ate out) Snack ~ Muller light, apple, Banana...

I have just tried and I got in OK! I am using the old password though, because my consultant (if you could call her that...........) forgot to look at lasts weeks! Hope you get on soon. xx

Thanks Bev! Im praying I don't come down with it. That's all I need!(although it would be good for weight loss lol) I've got enough basics in to see us through, so we'll be OK! I know that friends or neighbours will pop out for me if I need anything, I just don't know what I "need", if you know...

Also, looking at your stats, it doesn't look as if you have a great deal to lose, so often it comes off slower. I know it seems unfair, but you probably won't be able to lose weight at the same rate as people who have got a lot more to lose. Keep going hunny, I hope that the boost plan works...

Eldest DS was sick with a tummy bug from Wednesday night to yesterday, then last night youngest DS came down with it too. I'm soooo tired through interupted sleep, that I just want to eat everything in sight! It doesn't help that there is hardly anything in the house! I popped out for 5 minutes...

Red Day. Breakfast~ Yogurt. Lunch~ Bacon sandwich, yogurt. snack~ Yogurt. Tea~ Roasted Butternut Squash, Chicken, Jacket Pot (hexb), chesse (HEXA) HEX~ Nimble (B) Milk (A) Potato (B) Cheese (A) Syns~ Ketchup on sandwich (1) Marg on Potato...

Thank God indeed!! I got my first packet this week..........and should have got more LOL. They are delicious and take away my sweet cravings! I will definitely be buying 2 (or 3;)) packets next week!!

Nothing very exciting here. Chicken with roasted butternut squash and a small Jacket Potato (HEXB). If DH were home, I would probably have a bit of a treat, maybe cook a nice SW curry or something, but it seems like a lot of effort for only me to eat:cry::D! It's DS's 7th birthday toorrow...

I remember when Macaroni cheese was free,so was corned beef and the tinned Spag bol and raviolli too! However Banana's, peas and sweetcorn were Syns,a lot has changed over the years!

Iceland BBQ chicken chunks. Only £2 for the box and 2.5 syns(on red) for the whole lot! I like them served with mixed leaves, cherry tomatoes and a bit of balsamic...YUM:D

For some reason I can't access the spreadsheet, but I'd like to join please:) I lost 3LB this week and am hoping for a good loss next week too:D

That's really surprising seen as how Nimble white bread can be counted as a HEXB!! Our's is not to reason why.........!!;)

Is there room here for 1 more?:ashamed0005: If so what do I need to do?:)

Had a shower, sat down and chilled for a bit and am now feeling better! Today will not have been brilliant food wise, but not terrible either:rolleyes:. Just severely lacking in healthy stuff:o. Red day. Breakfast~ None Lunch~ Hifi Bar. Snack~2 Babybel light, muller light, 2 satsumas...

Not a good day today:(. My eldest who's 9 was up all night throwing up. I was exhausted this morning(after 3 hours of interupted sleep) and as soon as I got the youngest off to school I went back to bed! I didn't get up till 11, and to be honest I felt awful, I think I would have been better...

Yay;)

I'll be steering clear of the Kitkats for a while anyway!!:D Everything has gone OK here today, although I haven't been as good with the fruit and veg as I normally am, so need to snack on a few pieces before I head to bed! I'm usually pretty good at getting 5 a day in. Had slimming world...

Mix2Max day! Breakfast~Muller light and Banana Morning snack~ Apple and muller light. Lunch~ Lean bacon on Nimble bread Snack~ HiFi bar Muller light. Tea~ SW chips, beans,egg. HEX~ Milk for tea (A) HIFI bar (B) Nimble (B) 2x Babybel light (A) SYNS~ Ketchup~(1) Oil for Egg ~(1) Curly...

I'm so sorry:hug99: I really hope you find an alternative place for respite, or that a family member is able to step in and help. xx

I am having the same problem at the moment. My OH is away for 7 weeks, and so once the kids are in bed, I find myself wanting to pick! I now try and stick to free food all day and save as many syns and Hex's as possible for the evening! I snack on Curly wurly's, french fries, free yogurts, ham...

I'm sorry you are feeling so down:hug99::hug99: Keep going. As someone once told me, a pound a week, or 4 lb a month is nearly, nearly 4 stone in a year! I always find it helps me to remember that.

Breakfast~ Banana and yogurt Morning snack~ Apple and yogurt Lunch~ Toasted nimble (Hex B), tinned tomatoes. Snack~ Lemon hifi bar (Yummy!!) Tea~ BBQ chicken Bites (2.5 Syns) Omelette made with 2 eggs, mushrooms, 28 g cheese, fry light. HEX A Milk for tea HEX A 28 G Cheddar HEX B...

Still on track here:D Went to weigh in tonight and am chuffed to have lost 3 LBS, I know it doesn't count towards February challenge, but it's a good start!! Keep up the good work everyone!

Yes, I agree! I lived in NI for about 5 years and whenever we had visitors we headed to the Giants causeway and Bushmills:D! It is a lovely place!

Still on plan, although i'm using all of my Syns (which is unusual for me!!) Also done 33 minutes on the wii fit, I've been pretty good and haven't missed a day for a week now, but this is the first time I have done over 25 minutes! It's my weigh in tomorrow, so I'm hoping for a loss, not...

Green day Breakfast~ Yogurt(was in a rush!) Morning snack~ Yogurt and an apple. Lunch~ Tinned tomotoes on toast(HEX B) Yogurt (How many yogurts in 1 day!!) Tea~ Omelette, made with 3 eggs, milk from allowance,mushrooms, 28g Cheddar (HEX A) Evening snacks~ Plum, satsuma, Banana Syns~...

100% to plan today! Have used 6.5 syns so far, so have a few in reserve to get me through the evening (My worst time since DH is away!) and also have lots of fruit and Muller lights if I need them!! So far, so good!!

Starting this again!! 100% on track for February. DH is in the Army and is away at the moment, so I admit I am not cooking proper meals:o,but I am sticking to plan! I actually find it easier not to have to cater for him. During the weeks, the boys have school dinners, so I can give them a...

Ahhh, that makes sense now:o Thank you;)

How do I get my BMI info to show up? I can see that some people have it in their profile and others don't. I would quite like mine on there!!

I think that would be good. It would give people more of an incentive to start being 100% from now on, rather than thinking that they have already blown the first week,if they haven't been good! Does that make sense?

I haven't been here for a while, but I'd like to join in too please;)

A crap weight loss this week, only 1/2 a pound! Haven't been following the diet properly over the last 2 days, due to lots of stress and hassle,so it's all my own fault! I haven't been bad, no chocolate or sweets, I just haven't had chance to shop properly or organise meals so it hasn't been...

Hi:) The whole vat of bloomin Houmous only had 1 HEX in it and I had counted that the day before, so even that didn't count:rolleyes:. I ended up having cheese and marmite on toast,just to get the HEX's in!! And yes, I probably still stink of Garlic:eek::D! Mix to max day Breakfast~ Fruit...

Poor poor girl. She was taken advantage of once again. I really hope someone gets her the help she needs. Brian is desperate for custody of the girls and this interview could just be the evidence he needs to get it. It won't help the youngest 2 though. Very sad.

Green Day. Breakfast~ Fruit and Yogurt(just for a change:D) Lunch~Spaghetti. Tea~ SW chips, fried Eggs, Baked beans. Yum yum!! Snacks~ Homemade Houmous, veg sticks Banana. Syns~2 for the fried eggs! Cooked them in oil as they're not quite the same with fry light! Just realised I...

I'm quite lucky as OH is doing the diet with me, but he still drives me mad!! He expects me to plan everything, won't learn the rules, so is constantly asking "if i'm on a green day can I have this?" or "how much of this am I allowed" and I have to take responsibility for his syns and HEXS to...

mix to max day!! Breakfast~Fruit and Muller light. Lunch~Homemade Houmous;)(HEX), Cucumber, Tomatoes,raw carrot, Wafer thin ham, 3 babybel light(HEX). Tea~Homemade Egg fried rice, with Prawns(HEX),mushrooms and peas. Syns~ 2 Jaffa cakes 5 Syns.

Right, so I've had a go at making Houmous;). I started off with, 2 Large cloves of Garlic, 1, 400g tin of chickpeas and the juice of a whole lemon! I bunged it all in the food processor together and switched it on. I had to add water as it was too thick, blended again and then had a...

Good morning:) Fruit and yogurt here for Breakfast. I am unsure about lunch, but think it may be Spaghetti on Toast (HEX) and more fruit. This evening we are having Egg fried rice (using fry light of course!) with peas,mushrooms,garlic,soy sauce and prawns(HEX). I am also going to have a go at...

Hi Yoyo, Yes you can have up to 57g of Houmas as a HEXb on a green day (not sure about red?? Book is downstairs!) I love it mmmmm. I am going to have a go at making a healthier option so that I can eat as much as I like on a green day! Tahini paste is quite high in syns though and I'm not sure...

Green day. Breakfast~ Muller light and Tea. Lunch~ Carrot sticks,Cucumber,tomatoes, Houmous(HEX), cottage cheese. very yummy. I love houmous! Tea~ Chicken(HEX), dry roast pots,Parsnips, butternut squash, peas,carrots. Snacks~ 3 Babybel light (HEX) Syns~ Gravy~ 3.5 (i like lots of...

Yesterday was not a good day diet wise:(. The kids were invited to a last minute sleepover, meaning we were childless, a very rare occasion (the last time was probably 18 months or so ago) and so we decided to make the most of it and go out to the local schinkenfest (Ham festival!)!! I had 4 or...

A pound down this week! Not Briliant, but I am not surprised as I'm sure my body must wonder what on earth is going on after the Cambridge diet, at least it wasn't gain, I'll hope for more next week. Last night wasn't so bad. I had 2 (large:o) Beers,not bad seeing how it was...

Red Day. Breakfast~ Muller light. Lunch~ W/M Bread (HEX) 2xlaughing cow light (1/2 HEX) Grapes Cucumber and tomato Tea~ (night out aaaahhh!!) Plan on being good and having Meat and salad and only a few drinks! Have only been using 5 or less syns a day for the rest of the week, so should be...

Right, I thought I would start this. I keep on track at home using a tracker sheet, but they tend to get lost after a while, so I am hoping this will give me something to look back on when I am struggling for ideas! I am so focused at the moment, I am hoping I will remain that way:rolleyes...

Wow, well done!! You should be proud of yourself:)

I'm a worrier too and hate it when OH is late home, I drive myself mad with my overactive imagination:rolleyes:. I'm sure he will be just fine,there is normally a simple explanation, these men just don't realise how much we worry. xxx

Good Luck! I'm sure you can do it. Don't feel guilty about the Chow mein, just put it behind you and keep on track. You'll be fine. Is this the first time you have done SW?

Thank you for all the welcomes:o I agree you are a friendly bunch:D. I'm sure I will soon begin to drive you mad with all my questions.

Good Luck! you have done amazingly well.:clap:

Thought I would say Hello to everyone. I have just started SW (again). At the moment I live in Germany because OH is in the Army so i'm not attending classes. I feel determined this time and am "in the zone", I really want to do it! Did a week of the cambridge diet last week, but couldn't hack...

Thank You:) So they are both 5.5 syns per 100g, thats more than I thought it would be, oh well, will have to have a rethink! Might have quorn sausages instead.

Basically you can have 4 Ryvitas and 57g of Houmous and will still lose weight, but you get enough Fibre/protein from half the amount, so can use the smaller portion for speedier weightloss! That is my understanding of it anyway!

Hi, can anyone tell me how any syns are in Bernard Matthews Turkey Ham on a Green day. I live in Germany and havn't been able to get to group so I might be here quite often as I am working off my old books!I'll try not to bother you too much!! It will be U.K goods (or Generic goods) I will be...

This is a family favourite in our house! I fry off some onion (frylight of course!) and Bacon too and stir them in to the beans. Still free if you use the Bacon as a Hex.

Hi, I am new to the site and thought I would introduce myself. I'm Nikki 31 and I trying my hardest to lose weight on the CD. I first started back in may and di quite well, I was pleased that the weight was finally coming off! I came off it in july for my 2 week holiday and have only just been...
