Well done Sam, that's brilliant and Dexter's Mum those pointy shoes out for you and me both! x If I disappear I have been banned. Not too sure how it works on here but I am being censored, ha! So as I won't wind my neck in, and I refuse to ignore questions on veganism - are you kidding me?!! - I...

Hmmm getting used to weighing and/or making my portions separate. ;) will you post your recipe for these ones please and fankoo x

Home pmsl........literally! :D :D

Ooooh now then, I don't think so.....:giggle: ;)

Good for you Charl! Walking is great too so wiggle on the school runs! :D I walk a lot with the girls, doing at least five miles a day which for me is about 18000 steps. I don't know why the internet says 10000 steps a day is 5 miles, surely they must realise we all have a different stride...

I would like to say it gets easier.....'it gets easier'....................but although I said it ;) I would be lying! :8855:diving into bushes is the only way to get through it when out with dogs too :o Mind you not having any for about an hour beforehand does help, a tad..... ;) and if you...

Welcome Shelly! Andrea bet you burned off the lasagna with your bike ride hon, even if you did the bike ride pre lasagna same difference - in the book of Nik anyway! ;) Good luck for your first weigh in Sammyb! xox Well hellllo more water babies! peeing for England r us.com :giggle: Nice work...

I loved it, not after doing the first day because I couldn't walk for two days. No. joke. However I irritated my Achilles (i ruptured it a few years ago) and since then I have had to modify it, so no jumping jacks, butt kicks or lunging. It's still not right and I did it about 6 weeks ago so if...

I think upping your water slowly is a good way to do it and unless there is something wrong with your electrolytes, perfectly safe. (but I'm not a doctor, medical disclaimer ;)) If I think about it most 'diets' say 6-8 glasses a day don't they? But I know that's not going off an individuals...

Wonder if they would work out less syns than the ones I do with standard flour? Hard to measure syns with pancakes unless you scoff the whole lot of the recipe yourself. :confused:

I've had the wraps done in a dehydrator and that would be a tad easier I would guess. Not my dehydrator as you all know I haven't got one yet ;) but I didn't realise that you could do them without so I am VERY happy about the recipe. I am deffo doing these next week. Thanks again. x

YAAAAAAAY So happy that the tofu worked for you!!!!! I was on pins about it thinking well I advised her and if it doesn't work aaaaaargh! I posted again about it yesterday in reply to you about some other ways to try it so when you are next over my way have a read hon! xox

Ah found you! Here's to being stttiiiicccckkkkky ;D

Yep me too! Losing inches though so that's good. Nice work! Well done to you too Charl! x

Really? Oh that's good to know...*goes off to check weather forecast* :D

an umbrella or house to hide behind? ;) where are you with the picnic weather?

Nice loss hon!!! Thank you VERY much for the mung bean wrap recipe. Look lovely. Crap liquid lunch. I would have been a tad squiffy on two with no food, well, even with food ;) lightweight. How damned rude they are though, too busy urgh! Where were the beans? In the sink? :giggle:x

250ml in a standard cup 500ml in a pint if that's any easier? Most of my mugs at home fit between 300-400ml. My glasses 250-300ml. That link that Andrea kindly re-posted take with a pinch of salt, like most things on the internet. I drink between 2500 to 4000 a day. The higher end if I have...

If you see this before you do it on the BBQ the marinade will be fine as is hon, no need to squish again :giggle:and yes they do it pre-squished ;) marinaded and ready to rock n roll. I have some "pre-squished ready marinaded" myself will be sure to take pics to show you when I do it! x

Hows the tofu? Hope you weren't sitting up all night with it? ;) JOKE! You just have to remove as much as you can but that was my fault, should have clarified that you didn't need to do it for so long. SORRY! x

You already commented on mine so you should be subscribed. With regards to the wine most isn't vegan, if you want an easy option hit the Co-Op's own brand - all labelled. If you want lists of vegan suitable supermarket ones let me know. With you not being a wine drinker thought the Co-Op was the...

Hullo again, watch out for the noodles many are egg based at the Chinese. If you eat pre-prepared noodles be careful of those too unless they say specifically vegetarian as many just say 'flavourings'. In addition Disodium 5'-ribonucleotides is another one to watch out for as this can be from an...

You did good girl :D

OI! STOP putting yourself down, I know we all do it but seriously, DON'T! :( it's not good hon. And you DON'T look overweight in the picture as I said before you look LOVELY! Have you been taking your measurements? Bet you have lost some SERIOUS inches! Food looks lush again :D Sorry you are...

NICE ONE ANDREA!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOOOO! get in with those shiney's too! :D :D I think you and I both hit 2.5 stone on the same week! :D

PS Frylight is Free unless you have been tipping it in ;)

No I had never had it just - as is - only used it in baking and stuff, so not expecting that sweetness. Silly really as the clue is in the title ;) Was going to ask you if you drink a lot of pop but then I just read further on that you do. Do you think you can ditch it? Do you drink water? Try...

I love a bargain too! Got 8 Portobello 'shrooms for 40p and 3 courgettes for 40p the other day. Gotta love a bargain. The quinoa looks so lovely. I don't shop in Waitrose. It's so pawsh and there isn't one near me. Having said that they have just opened a new store in Preston which isn't far so...

Finally caught up with you! :D Nice work on the loss :D :D

Thanks for that, my info is a couple of years out of date. How do you get access if you don't go to class, do you pay for online access? I always thought you went as you know everything :) This looks amazing AGAIN thanks Erms, sorta, cos I keep adding them all to my list ;)...

Oh! No, it's no bother with her being such a celeb now I don't want to bug her or anything ;) Just wanted to know if you guys were OK! Thanks for letting us know. Glad you STS! :) Aw thanks but I STS for two weeks so it's just catching up with me. Congrats to you too! :D Cheers Jo! Glad you...

Nic do you syn your stock in your soup? I keep putting 1 syn when I have a bowl but I have found across the boards that no-one else seems to do it. What do you think? I know we are supposed to do.

Glad to see you back on top form - that is the Andrea that I know! :D

Nice work Dex, Lisa and Tina! Awesome. Hope I haven't forgotten anyone? Jo, don't be too sad I have had two weeks STS but I know I have lost inches as I am getting through old clothes in different sizes like no tomorrow. Try some of your gear on or take your measurements. :) Sorry to everyone...

HI Brendyloo Protein is in abundance in MOST foods! :D Beans, legumes, vegetables, fruits, tofu, etc etc. It's a myth that we need to eat animal products or meat substitutes to get protein. You also don't need as much as you may think you do too :) You are in the right place for help though...

Hurrah you iz back, did you have a nice time? Thanks for the recipe another from Dennis so I know it's a tummy filling stand alone fill yer boots recipe then ;) Off to make my Stroganoff. Laters! :D (spellcheck said I was to make my strongman Okkkaaaay so that's one bloke......do they do them...

Helllo! Come back and post! :D Hope everything is well x

Nah but I have heard of it :8855:

Have a flexisyn day at the indian and pick dishes that are not high in oil content or ask them to go easy on the oil. 13.5 syns is nothing don't panic :) Maybe stick to ten instead of 15 for the next two days?

That recipe your consultant mentioned sounds DISGUSTING! Blergh. Soda is the devil, even though dieters/slimmers and the world over seems to like it. I don't like the sound of any of these slimming world recipes even if I wanted to eat them (as in not being vegan) I wouldn't. Scan bran cardboard...

They tell you what's gluten free too if you ask, it's good yes, I have only been once. To be honest I don't like to eat out at non vegan places. It doesn't sit well with me.

Absolutely what Jo ^ said :D :D You have done amazingly well and what is one day?! sheesh hon. But I TOTALLY get where you are coming from so can empathise. Why do I have an American spellcheck on mimimins? I do NOT want to spell it with a z ffs! *******ized English indeed! ;) you can have a Z...

Welcome Sammy! This thread is really supportive so you have certainly found the right one! :D Hope you are feeling a bit better than you were yesterday. How is everyone doing? It's stopped persisting it down for a moment here so off to walk the girls. Have a nice weekend and hope the scales are...

They have a menu that shows what dishes you can veganise. Hello Oddsock didn't know we had another vegan in our midst, where were you hiding? :D

You OK Micci? xox

Well done on your loss! :D :D So close now to your target. whooooop! I never knew that Alpro was freeeee?! Seriously? Well that's the one I get so that's good to know, cheers. Never knew Asda did a list, or isn't it an official one? Yes steer clear of their own brand toiletry/cleaning etc...

Urgh £6 for a 'shroom on toast.......scandalous! :( :( Takes the Michael does that :( :(

Nice one whooo hooo! Your boobs look awesome in your pic too, I see you baby... shakin' those.......um boobs?! :giggle::silly: whaddya mean it's not you?!! You don't really look like a dancing banana?! Tut, shame! :D

NY is nothing like marmite hon. It's non active yeast flakes. I can pop you some in a grip seal bag and send them to you to try if you want before you buy them? You can order from a decent health food shop but I get mine from here: (I should be on commission the amount of times I have given out...

:bighug::bighug::bighug:I think it's catching! :( Hope you are working through stuff hon you have my email if you want to chat x YAY congrats on the loss and which ones did you get? I have been hopping on the scales then on the Wii and then back on the scales....urgh! Which soya yoghurt is...

Ooh, I'm a bit confused. Can you take it back from Just Giving then? I hope you don't mean to give any more and I really really don't mind putting in the extra (it's only 50p), I think you've been supremely generous as it is. Are you talking about the starvation with a view to the fact that you...

:bighug:You seem like you are back on track now though having read through. Hope class goes well. X Strewth, you too?! It does my bloooooody head in! I had a head banging few weeks. :( You can imagine how upsetting, disheartening, heartbreaking and just down right maddening that can be for...

Well done everyone, sorry to be AWOL on you. Back now and STS this week, so that's two weeks now. Losing inches I think as my clothes are feeling more comfortable. A loss is a comin' feel it in my waters, well it better be.... need to keep my end of the bargain up! Hope everyone is doing OK...

You are welcome, just had a thought obviously individual ovens are different so just in case yours runs hotter than mine does check it at ten mins! :D AND DON'T COOK IT FROM WET! spin off in a salad spinner first!

Nice work Andrea! :D :D :D Corky, with regards to 'my' 'theory' I found this link and the links in her blog are interesting too. Fatty Fights Back: MTYHBUSTERS: Starvation Mode what do you think? It appears you would only start to lose muscle (well have it eaten :eek:) or get really ill when...

:rotflmao: ;) sound nommy!

Ah well a variety that you like is good, unless it's going to waste that is. Does your hubbie not drink it too? There is SO much more choice now, when I went vegan I didn't find a soya milk that I liked for about 6 months so no brews ;) At the moment we have the hazelnut, soya, coconut and hemp...

WELL DONE :D :D :D :D

The way I do it is 1/2 tbsp of olive oil to half a bag of kale (approx 100g) spread out onto a baking tray and massage the oil into the leaves, coating them all well. It's important to SPREAD the leaves out so that they can dry. If you put them in a heap then it won't work. Also don't try to do...

I just fell off my seat WELL DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE :D :D :D :D :D Fabby! Ace! Wicked and Wonderful! GOOOOoooo ERms! :D

Well done on the loss hon, being a bit dense as not sure how much it was? :/ Sorry about your coffee! The trick to it is to put it in first before the hot water. Some coffee is worse than others for some reason. Try heating it slightly too and pouring it over a spoon. But if you like the coconut...

Welcome Emma! and well done you blinkin LOOOOSEEEEEEEEERS! :D :D :D clears throat....*ahem* now then CORKY.........gonna say four words............pointy.shoes & whip. will drive UP and ACROSS and DIAGONALLY to bl00dy use 'em too! :whoopass::character00182:

Awww I shouldn't smile.... but I did, had visions of you stashing soya milk under the sofa....... ;) Will deffo have a look. Thanks for the advice. Those choices are mega expensive and I only tried them once. Not my taste but for 75p would get them for son. Can't remember if hubbie likes them. I...

Awwww poor you! HUGS The croquettes look nommy do they have egg in though? I also drooled over the pies...you know which ones! The filling you had looks like Linda McCartney. I sorta copied it once myself and made a crust... a smidgen of red wine makes all the difference. ;) yes it truly was a...

Yup it's mandatory didn't ya know? ;) you and me both re the shoes. I would walk outside with bare feet 'cept I know I would cut my feet to ribbons. OK abroad mind. :D Annnnnd walking round supermarkets I have been known to do it too. Not just after a drink either ;) *um food shopping whilst...

Which stockpots do you use and I just googled Approved Foods is it any good? I will take a decent look when I get chance. I have seen some of these sites before but the pnp was always steep. What do you reckon on it? I get hubbie those swiss lozengers, he likes them too. :)

Oh how AWESOME! Well done you!!!!!!!!!! :happy096: Thanks for asking Corky tbh I just need to pick something that works for me and stick to it. Getting hung up on calories too much, not lost my mojo, far from it and it's getting an obsession. :( :( I will figure it out somehow, but thank you...

Awww thanks honey, what a lovely post, all about ME on YOUR thread ;) I am very predictable I did notice that last week. This week I sorta had a panic with regards to calories but I was also thinking am going to do some research on this so called 'starvation mode' as I don't think it's true. If...

I think you and I are quite similar in our approach to food, we worry about calories in but then don't want to go overboard. :confused: I have been thinking this week that I actually think that this 'starvation' is actually crap. If it's true then that would mean that no-one ever died of...

Hiyah! popping by to subscribe :)

What is Esther doing in your house?!!? ;) Hubbie said that he thinks I rock but I don't think I do. I can't adjust the seat any more than it has been, being a titch will do that! That book is supposed to be rather racy, but prefer mine gritty tbh :D I didn't know that you had to pay a 5% fee...

Welcome back Erms hope you had a great time :)

Kicking off the Tuesdays gals, I've STS as I predicted. Stoopid head is all over the place at the mo :( Good luck to the rest of Tuesday gals! :) Glad you had a lovely holiday Hazey! Love driving, you won't regret it! :D

Did you get anything nice? :)

Well done to our shrinkers and STD'ers :D Not hoping for a loss on Tuesday as I have had two days off 'plan'. Not going overboard and healthy food but I can only muck about so much before my body tells me, so going from raw to cooked not good for me. Back on today having fresh juices, fruit and...

Yup you gotta love the squirrels! :D Great your version turned out and you enjoyed it. It will always be raw but the intention is to preserve the nutrients hence the low heat cooking so microwaves are out :giggle:did you make the courgette pasta with your vegetable peeler in the end too? Glad...

Just posted this in my diary and thought it may give you a giggle. Another NSV of sorts. :D A great way to get some exercise in is to shake that booty, bust some shapes (that wouldn't be seen on the dance floor under any circumstance) round your living room! I do it all the time. I record...

:8855:with you and the crisps!

WOW that's cheap, are they alright quality wise? I know with melon you can't always tell until you cut into it. Enjoy! :D

Shake that booty, bust some shapes (that wouldn't be seen on the dance floor under any circumstance) round your living room! I do it all the time. I record The Box and just sweat it all out. Hubbie walked in on me today and said I just elbowed Michael Jackson, I said well he was pushing his way...

Just stopping by to see how my bad ass fellow team mates are doing. Friday fighters are up next goooooo for it! :D EXCELLENT on the losers this week Mummy, PP, Em & Ellen, a STS is good Andrea, we all have 'em hon and a small gain is also understandable and workable it will be off next week LMC...

You don't know how awesome it is to be able to tick LIKE on someone's food diary when they list their food options. Can't do it on any other page, wish there were more of us! A few don't come on any longer. Loving your goals too, manageable and not too stressful. I put hard targets on myself and...

:bighug:for your vegan son and for you 'worrying' about the Westlife gig. Glad you had a great time! :D

Just noticed my stats, am I becoming predictable?!! :giggle:Into the 11's now. 2stone 1lb lost. 1stone 1lb thanks to Team Tinsel! Thanksss yoooooous xox

3lb off for me today. Which was a surprise as I'm constipated somewhat. Yep you heard that right, a constipated VEGAN :eek:. It's the raw plan I am following, need to eat more fruit, I have to laugh or I would cry. Are you freakin' kiddin' or what?!! I am a walking grocery shop :8855:Not been...

Hellllo! welcome back and have at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D You CAN do this! x Hullo!! Glad you had a lovely time, welcome back to the Team Tinselers! :D Sh!t, lot on your plate, "keep calm and carry on" I have on my laptop, "No I won't keep calm and you can F*ck Off" and no my mother hasn't...

They need a LOVE button for the squirrel!!! He/she is ADORABLE!! Very pretty place too, gorgeous. :) Experiment away with the dish, let me know what you think as the mint sounds unusual, also the pepper doesn't matter. I made it again tonight (!) and I used an orange one. I think as long as red...

Can't believe I am using Wiki as a source but here it is........... Food dehydrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :D

Hmmmm that's a surprise as it's a cooling aid hence why they use it on burns. I am surprised it stung. :( If you haven't tried the avocado and banana face mask give it a go. Do you drink a lot of caffeine? I only ask as that can wreak havoc with excema and I noticed you said you had drunk a lot...

Hey hon, cheers for the link. You are doing well, awesome loss 4lb. I am going to pm you my email addy so if you ever want to chat off the boards then feel free. I know it can be alienating sometimes being vegan in a very non vegan environment, anything you want to ask me -just hit me. Gently...

Corky I have fixed my puncture on the exercise bike and will be cycling to Pontefract right.about.now.........ready...set....goooooooooooo! :D Wow full week of body magic eh? nice one! You go girl! :D :D Hope you feel better now! :( a cup of tea with radishes, is that the 21st century...

The rolls look nice, lovely hubbs :) I like the sound of the chilli being blended to make a soup too, looks lush, as does the lentil pie. Yummo!

Ta for the invite, how do you know I don't live in London? I would be driving UP the motorway then...the fact I live in Lancashire and would be driving ACROSS has nothing to do with it :8855: Well done on STS Sammy! :) No ''celebrations'' here, I detest the RF. What about you or in your neck of...

The idea of the flexi syn day is so that you don't have to cut back on syns for the rest of the week. I guess the idea behind it is that you don't feel deprived for the rest of the week and end up going off plan in some regard. There are some better options when eating Dim Sum but if you are...

You can have a flexisyn day. Basically you set yourself an amount and then don't go over it. Click on the link and put in flexi syns in the search bar and it explains it for you! :D FAQs - Slimming World

PP you can run the diagnostic tool on your lappy/pc. It will flag anything up. Your installed programme of choice will have one. HTH x NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! No deleting the Corksters! :( It is a BRILLIANT thread, I don't know what has been said but it's been awesome hanging in here. Everyone is...

I buy dried everything bar chickpeas and kidney beans. I used to buy dry kidney/chickpeas but found that the tinned ones always turned out softer. I do like the more expensive chickpeas though as they always seem to be softer than the cheaper ones (in my opinion) but any kidney beans will do :D

Your lunch does look lush. I did :giggle:at the thimble full of booze....that's like eating a thumbnail size piece of chocolate. What's the point?! :D Weren't you tempted to do a grab and run and hide out in the toilets?!! ;)

Well done on another amazing loss Corks! x Your breakfast bar is calling us all to come sit at it and test it out! :D Nice work, I turn my hand to some DIY now and again. Get the booze ready I'm following PP up the motorway....;) Come to think of it I haven't had a drink in months.

Looks amazing! :D

GOSH yours and Paul's stats are AMAZING! well done to you both! :)

How is the skin doing? I meant to ask yesterday.

Yep absolutely don't rush it! We did but we didn't have much choice we were really up against it time wise. I wouldn't have moved where we did if we had more time. If you aren't in a hurry take all the time you need. It's a MASSIVE commitment so you are doing right by taking it slowly.

Send her our best if you speak again please. THANK YOU! :) Absolutely we do! Thanks for the compliment, yep it's on my diary. Will copy and paste here if you like? You would have to use the HEX-B for the evoo and syn the sun dried tomatoes but aside from that FREE! :D Here is my post from the...

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter hon. The toast in beans does look yum I agree Jackie! Have a lovely break, time for some R&R it will hopefully help somewhat. The gain isn't a true gain, it will be back off next weigh in and then some. :bighug:On a lighter note I made a dish this evening that...

This is what I had for dinner, I could have warmed it slightly but didn't even think about it. (I think it's no warmer than 114 so a couple of minutes on a low heat on the stove before nutrients are destroyed) It's courgette pasta and a marinara sauce. All raw and TOTALLY lush if I do say so...

HURRRAH!!!!!! Nice one well done!!! :clap: LOL! The water is still running through like a tap turned on. Fruit, veg, nuts, sprouting grains etc. Anything that's not processed or cooked. So no crisps, biscuits, cakes crap basically. Will post what I had tonight which was my favourite dish of...

Awww nice to hear you so happy! x

YAAAAY! well done!! :D :D Hope you enjoy your gig, I have always thought Shane rather cute (sorry hubbie!) ;) Love the bean burger!

WELL DONE HON!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SO deserve it xx

Glitter pens out TRY to be a good girl if you can ;) Have a nice break! Well done! I am sure that 4 stone sticker is imminent!! Is it really awful to say I have nothing planned and I don't intend to do? I am not patriotic AT ALL and I don't care much for the Royals...there, it's out I said...

DOH! :doh: I must have skipped right on past it! THANK YOU! x It's not coming back on don't get nervous! :D

Well done on your loss! :D :D :D

You can eat as much as you want till you do feel full. The problem I have found in the past when I have done it is not eating enough calories. As basically it's mainly fruit and veg and they are all low. But you can have avocado, nuts and seeds so they do bulk up the cals. I haven't got a...

Oooh I am intrigued, do you have a link for the recipe? The quinoa salad looks deeelish too! :D (thinks she picked the wrong week to go raw) ;)

Whaddya mean you forgot?!??! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you are feeling better. Hope you have an awesome time on hols and HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY! x

Come on the Wednesday Warriors!!! Well done Mummy, PP and Tawny! Atta gals! :D :D :D Lynda fingers crossed for you tonight you can do it! Sparkly glitter pens to draw that line. Can't blame you, did it myself but the opposite and didn't eat enough. I blame the weather hey Andrea..... :whistle...

It seems to have sorted itself out now, which is a relief. I'm really full but have to find a way to eat another 200cals :o sure I will sort myself out. I can't stop going to the loo either...:o water, water water everywhere.....lol. No other updates tonight? PP how did you get on?

Ah red day, get it now. I thought you did green days, but is that for fish? Thanks for the compliment! I see you have been kicking some exercise butt of your own! *post below* wow!!!! GOooooOOOO andrea! Me too, the alerts :eek:

Totally agree. I went off plan and didn't hardly eat for about four days. Drank loads, ate fruit but with was walking everywhere with the girls and I don't think I ate enough, hence my 1lb loss this week. Decided at the weekend I am going raw for a bit. Started this morning after my weigh in...

Good thinking batman! :D :D The mung bean dish sounds lush. :)

This is going to be quick 'cos I am not sure what is going on, but I haven't been able to get on for over a day due to warnings on my computer. I have had to lower my firewall. Anyone else??! Corky complain to Tesco! You will get a refund and the short dated spinach should have come in a...

I never knew you could do that, make pizza bases with your HEX-B's. So I could make flatbreads? :eek:

Well done! Another lb off :D :D

Don't water it down you looked HOT girlfriend THAT'S why you got the attention! As hot as our summer sun. :character00238:

We cross posted I didn't miss you out! Brilliant Sprinkles! :D

Nice one Laura, yep keep it up stay on the wagon! :D Well done to you too Golly NSV = Non scale victory. I had to work it out myself too lol. Superfree icecream ;) I am sure that it will be recycled and back out the boobies before you know it! Um, not sure if that sounds a bit ick?!! Only...

Well done on the loss and the NSV too. :clap: what's 1/2 a syn for the roasted veg which sound lovely btw? too little for oil......got me thinking now... :D

Oooh I have another NSV last night was sitting having dinner and hubbs said, "I'm proud of you." I looked up and said, "Aww thanks." He replied, " I have never seen you so determined and working so hard for this, after everything you have been through the last few years it's nice to see you...

Well done on the loss and the NSV YAAAY! I have some of my gear on today that I mentioned yesterday sooo pleased. On the same page about the lunges and squats. I did do it but no butt kicks, skipping rope or jumping jacks. I boxed when they did those. I also really modified the lunges and...

You have done SO well, if you have stuck to plan I'll bet it's not a true gain. Sure it will be off by next week, don't be hard on yourself. :bighug: Well done Tilly!! :D :D 1/2 stone award comin' atchya next week along with another number off! :D :D

Thursday Losers Good Luck! Been trying on clothes today and am now back in a 16 on the bottom and a 14 on the top, comfortably! :D :D Did something stupid yesterday and my Achilles is not a happy camper. Decided though that whilst I want to get back to the shred I know that the cardio will not...

:bighug:STS is NOT a gain hon, it must be hard with breastfeeding and weighing at the same time. Bring on June as you say! Hopefully a good loss next week to make up for it. WELL DONE!!! Awesome! :) Urgh hope you feel better soon hon. HUGE loss on the scales next week then! :D Nice one PP...

:bighug:Onwards and downwards hun! May not even be a true gain. I was just saying on another thread when I first started the shred I gained two pounds on weigh day. I was so despondent the day after I weighed again. GONE. I had STS. You go to class don't you? I'll bet by the time you go next...

Well done you! :D :D

That could possibly be LACK of calories, as in your body hanging on to them because you are not taking in anything. But then again unlikely as it was only 2 days. It could be TOTM as you say or just a fluctuation. You have done yourself SO PROUD so there is no way that measly 2lb is gonna be for...

Totally hear you on how big and clumsy they are and I thought exactly the same thing about the tv....:eek: :8855:

Welcome laura! :) Thanks hon! It's hanging in there, thanks for asking. Wanted to recommence the shred today but don't think it's ready. Bummers. Hoping I don't have to go through the pain of those first two days again the longer I leave it. :( Well done Mummy another 1lb off! (that still...

Glad to see that you have checked in Erms even if you are not 100%. Hang in there chick. :bighug:Know you are not one for talking so won't make it worse by banging on. xx

Bahhaaahah! I am HOPING I can attempt again tomorrow before I go back to stage one again...YOIKES! :eek: OUCH! YOU stole my cheerleaders!!!! Meh.... ;) How about a nice book outside? Think you deserve it after all that exercise you have been doing. x

3lb off for me this week. :D With regards to exercise I do the exercise bike.... ;) started the 30 Day Shred 3 days in and irritated my Achilles tendon (which has been ruptured in the past) so I have been off it for a few days to let it settle. I walk every day which tends to average about 3-5...

Awww congrats! Hope your horrid times are over swiftly and you can concentrate on making happier ones :bighug: Gimme a T, gimme an E, gimme an A, gimme an M.......gimme a T gimme an I, gimme an N, gimme an S, gimme an E, gimme an L now what does it spell? TEAM TINSEL GoooOOOOooooooo...

Actually mine are a 1lb out. But my weighing scales aren't digital so they may be the same. Try not to do this to yourself though as weights do fluctuate and some weeks you may show a gain. It can mess with your head and knock you off track. Hope the weight stays the same! :D Noooo I meant to...

Sorry you are feeling fed up :bighug:with regards to your weight loss are you eating all your syns and HEX's? I know you said you are drinking lots of water, how much? What about exercising or at least increasing your movement? It all helps. What's this fruity tea loaf? sounds like the...

OOooh Mummy how awesome a new baby! Do you want me to look up the syns for a glass of bubbly? :D :D Hope the little one is feeling better soon Ellen....awwww he is a cutiepie. No weighers today? GOOD LUCK TUESDAY TINSELERS!! My Achilles is on the mend. Lots of ice, rest, stretching, gentle...

I agree you are very pretty and I also agree you have lost weight in your face :D Being truthful you carried it well before as you could still see your lovely features. You did well having no hangover after all that :sign0137:

Oh heck your family sound like mine, :mad::cry: hence why I don't see them any more. We had a falling out that was the result of a long long long LONG drawn out story. Absolutely EVERY moment counts whether she can't remember or not ffs! How do they know that she can't remember or understand...

Well done Laura and Fatgottago!! 4lbs off is awesome and FGTG you were stressing for nothing :(. See eat those syns and your HEX and you will be fine! :D :D :D

Worried about you, hope you are doing OK hon xx

Thanks for the best wishes to you guys who commented. YAY for the losers (still love saying that ;)) and for those who STS or gained new week coming up let's kick some weight loss butt. I STS last week so I am due a loss on Tuesday. It does come back round. Try to keep positive and stick to plan...

Hi Andrea Just spoken to hubbie about your chain as he is a mountain biker. He said it could be one of a few things, if it's an older bike the chain may have stretched in which case it needs to be replaced. As a quick fix you could try tightening up the derailleur (gear) cable and adjusting the...

CONGRATS ON THE LOSS! That's a really good loss, you deserve it will all the exercise you are doing. Sorry I can't help with the amounts of superfree, not sure if it's applicable on green days the same as the other plans - extra easy and success express? Most of my meals are vegetable...

"Free" range, organic, grass fed etc etc are treated exactly the same. :(

I can't watch anything hon with animals' in it. Which means Earthlings is out too and all the rest. I got to the part where they threw that darling dog into the back of the dust cart and that was it for me. Still plays over in my head. :cry:I even fast forward through Gary Yourofsky's lecture...

I'm sitting here feeling really sorry for myself with a bag of frozen green beans under my left Achilles tendon. A few years ago I had an accident at work and ruptured it. I had a cast on then a vacoped (like a gladiator boot), intensive physio and I STUPIDLY forgot about it. They did tell me...

I just think a lot of these intolerance's is your body telling you that it doesn't want to be eating them. The latest that's everywhere it lactose. So what do people do? Stop dairy, nup they switch to lactose free milk. I'm like wtf?! IBS, psoriasis, eczema, bad skin, I could go on and on....all...

Soya or bad egg maybe? I watched a documentary on these places, please just be cautious. They tested the same person (who was doing the docu) and EACH PLACE came back with DIFFERENT allergies! ALL charged scandalous prices and when he went to his own GP turns out he was allergic to NOTHING...

It's quiet today on here. Saturday weighers Bernie and Corky good luck! Hope you can post soon Corky damned tinternet connections Grrrr.

Urgh that class! what are people like? I know it's hard to break old habits but the consultant should be all over that kind of crap! Not surprised you are fed up and I agree, waste of money! For a positive add your cleaning to body magic (as I am sure you fill that in with going to class) and...

WELL DONE TO ALL OUR LOSERS! (I love saying that in this context :D) Good luck Friday evening weighers!!! NO BUTT KICKING ALLOWED! you lost! sending these instead :bighug:a loss is a loss as Ellen said. Don't be sad. How have they been the last couple of weeks? Have you changed your...

You are not far behind him ColJack!! Good for you, that's amazing! Found this article when I googled: Slimming World Greatest Loser 2012: Unflattering Facebook photo shocked Matt Briggs so much it inspired him to lose 17 stone - Mirror Online

I use Davina McCall's 2.5lb dumbbells. They use 5lb but trust me the lighter ones are best to start off with. You get three weights in the set. Buy Davina Vinyl Dumbbell Set at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Weights and dumbbells. I skipped the day I was in agony but got back to it...

Hope you are OK hon :( thinking of you. x

WELL DONE YOU!!!! :D Enjoy yourself tonight and good idea to drive........don't get talked into leaving the car in the carpark or round a friends...think we have all done that before now...:whistle: Thanks Corky for altering my ''told you so'' stats :D :D :D Shred is going well thanks Lynda, I...

Awww don't be sad....it's GREAT really. I know it can suck when we thought we had done particularly well... but YOU DID!! Get scoffing your HEX and you WILL have that 3 stone award before you know it! :bighug:

Hope you are hope, safe and sound, not in too much pain or discomfort, snuggling on the couch being pampered! :):character00264: edited to add the poorly sick one but I hope it's not toooo dramatic! :eek:

That's really good considering a weeks holiday. I love your attitude too! :D HURRAH!! Well done Lynda! Good for you. I broke the cardinal rule and hopped on the scales this morning as I was so fed up yesterday (see diary if you want as not going to 'go on' again here) because despite my...

I ticked 'like' because I LOVE you have lost 1lb but of course I don't love, like or even am happy you are poorly sick. Hope things go well and you are home, snuggled up all cosy with hubbie pampering you before you know it. Take care hon! x

Can't advise you on the EE never tried them. I just do green (will try one day). I just want to tell you to hide those scales. It's only Wednesday and don't let them mess with your head! I have put on 2lbs this week and if I couldn't find the damned things I would have been happy. I wish I...

Well done PP and Mummy (hmmm not my mummy ;)) and ALL the other losers for Monday and Tuesday. GOOD LUCK WEDNESDAY WEIGHERS!!!! xox

I clicked then just had to :8855: did you notice at the top it says ''We eat cake every day"....not to STAY in those pants you don't..........:D :D :D FIBBERS! ;) Congrats on the win and on the STS NO GAIN! x

WELL DONE! Hope your payoff is on the scales today!! :D

My legs are like lead no wonder I put on 2lbs! How on earth do I do it again this evening. I am soooo putting it off. :( Tried to jump about ten minutes ago, P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C! :D

Hullo! I made the kale, lentil and potato soup the other day. You were right about the stock being enough for a soup on it own! WOAH! I ended up using all of it as I knew after I tasted it that I wouldn't use it for anything else. I liked it but the star anise was rather overpowering for me...

Just checking in hope you are doing OK as I see you haven't posted, but I am hoping that's just due to being super busy as always. HUGS PS I commented on my thread about sponsorship but will repeat it here I shall chip in at the end of the month (hope that's OK?) super nurses, I am very sorry...

No PP, never been told that until today :) Oh I just realised that I don't PM Corky with my updates I just post here, which do you prefer Corky? Spammmmmming in the inbox or hunting on the thread?! :confused:;)

Thanks everyone for your support will try walking downstairs backwards (knowing me I will fall and bang my head...might knock some sense in eh?!) and wish me luck for I am about to attempt it again! I have been reading that I should so if I am absent tomorrow it's because I literally cannot...

I did it yesterday for the first time and today I can hardly walk. My thighs, backside and lower half are in a lot of pain to the point I struggle to do the stairs, bend down or walk without wincing. However, I have done some research on the net and I need to carry on. Apparently this is delayed...

Wow sounds intriguing! Will deffo go and have a nosey at one. Thanks for the support Corky. COME ON THE TUESDAY WEIGHERS!!!! YOU HAVE TO LOSE MY ADDED TWO POUND TOO!!! :D

2lbs ON for me this week. I don't know what to think to be honest...I'm not too sad because I keep thinking damned scales not the be all and end all....then my crappy head kicks in and I think what have I done?! (nothing truthfully I don't think) but I think the mix up of diets last week (never...

Is there anything else going on in your life that would make you sabotage yourself? As you say it's a very flexible plan and last week when I was off it I really missed it. Any personal upheaval, stress or changes can make me want to turn to over eating, maybe you are the same? Sound advice from...

Well, be my guest :8855:will put you off eating forever.........baahhahahhaahh! That is a long day and I don't blame you! OK I'm intrigued how on earth do you put liquids and flours into a frying machine? Please share! I didn't know you didn't have to syn cornflour either so thanks for that. :D

30 day shred = I'm dead....bloody hell!! The abs section was fine but jumping around OMFG! I had to pause it for 2 minutes to get my breath back. If anyone else does decide to do this just a point WEAR A GOOD BRA!! I notice that Gillian and co don't have any boobs to speak of whilst mine aren't...

:worthy::worthy:OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG YOU BIG LOSERS!!!!!!!! :rotflmao:

Hello to ClaretDebs :welcome: Hope you had a great time Emms! You really shouldn't go hill walking with alcohol involved you know....you may spill it... ;) :eek: hope you took a straw to suck up the drops!

Whoooop! Think I prefer your version. Great ''synnage'' too! I see we have another Kale Addict....dern dern dern.......bhahaahhhaah! Flipping brilliant, I LOVE to spead the K.A.L.E LOVE! :heartpump: Did you make it crispy or just wilted? Frylight or HEX-B? Hmmm blaming the weather for not losing...

Hello my fellow Kale Addict :D Ignore my message! :D Will have a read through just commenting to subscribe.

A$$hole!! IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE, how pathetic is that!?! Bet you have people ringing in for a sniffle every five bl00dy minutes too and they get the ''oh poor love'' rubbish! :flamingmad:. Not surprised you are p*ssed! . Sooo just IGNORE them. Did I say that already?! Dust off and back on you...

3lb off for me this week. YAY! :D

Awwww poor ickle man....hate it when they are poorly you feel bad because you want to take it all away and you can't. Sending him lots of special thoughts hope he feels better soon. ((HUGS)) Lost 3lbs today! YAY! Seems the biscuits didn't take a toll *kisses bike* ;) COME ON THE GIRLS! Good...

Well done!!! That's a wicked amount! :D :D

2 days off plan since January isn't bad at all! Glad you enjoyed yourself. How did the pampering session go? Sounds lush :) I wouldn't drink so much diet soda. It's really horrid stuff. OK on occasion if you must but it's full of crap. Your second plan sounds much better in my opinion! Throw it...

:welcome:to our new members!! :D Thanks for the support over my blip with the biscuits. I tell ya I can't even count, seems my math skills went out with my resolve :o 16 syns NOT 18 strewth. Weigh in when I get up so will report my scale number tomorrow. Hope you have a great holiday Emmey...

PS I personally try to make sure I eat more on the days that I have exercised HARD because I have found that if I don't then my weight loss does slow down. It's really difficult because I often don't want to. Its a difficult one I find. You need approx 1200 cals just for your body to...

Gemma this post is the one I mentioned above, thought I would add it separately because the one above is rather long....sorry for blabbing on! Hope this makes sense! :D I have been working my butt off for a couple of months now. Firstly monitoring what I was walking and pushing myself that...

Well done Ellie!! :happy096: Fabulous Laura! :clap: Good Luck Elsmar, don't forget to check in and keep a diary, post it on here if you get chance. Hello and welcome! Keep a diary on here, start a thread and just post what you are eating and drinking. It helps but you need to be honest. :)...

Confession booth time.........:o I need Corky's whip....possible not the handcuffs and pointed shoes as I won't do it again.....this is the clip from my diary: .......Then I was terrible and had a splurge on biscuits. I don't know why I did that because I am not a biscuit person normally and...

Yes and I have the certificate to prove it, ner ner ;) :8855:

99 stone (looks for avatar swooning and fainting but can't find one..........:D) 6 stone 10lb off (looks for IN.YOUR.FACE avatar but can't find one.......... :D) 93 stone 1.5 lb left (looks for BRING.IT.ON avatar but yes you guessed it can't find one! :D) SOoooo come on ladies we can SO do this...

Well done Sprinkles on the loss, that's brilliant! :D :D I don't want to focus on weight loss per week either sorry Hazey. I am really in the zone right now and am exercising daily, following the plan and I don't feel that focusing on the scale loss as opposed to what I look like/how I feel...

Sorry you had some bad news but GREAT for your loss! Hope you are feeling OK now. x Do we have to use your OWN whip AND the handcuffs on you my dear not to mention the pointy shoes:whip: baahhahahah, CONGRATS on the loss!!! :D A loss is a loss HURRAH!! Well done. Fingers crossed it shows...

You are very pretty and should be incredibly proud of yourself! :happy096:

You would need the quantities of the ingredients to be able to work out syn value. Do you have them?

Without a shadow of a doubt I swear by hemp seed oil. Full of Omega 3, 6 and 9 and it's referred to as the 'complete oil'. Flaxseed is also popular but not as good as hemp seed. I also use virgin coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. Although I don't use much of them. The coconut doubles up...

Don't feel down hon :( I know it's hard but try to remember that it didn't go on overnight so it won't come off overnight. I TRY to tell myself that but I get down too. We think we have done so well and stuck to whatever plan we are doing and then the scales aren't our friends. However it will...

Absolutely! You have to fuel the car and the body too :character00182::8855:whenever I have fasted I keep the exercise light such as walking - mind you no energy to do much else ;)

I agree that you shouldn't eat back everything but I did read that people do. I personally try to make sure I eat more on the days that I have exercised HARD because I have found that if I don't then my weight loss does slow down. It's really difficult because I often don't want to. Its a...

Can I ask why you want to eat 5 or less syns a day? I personally wouldn't recommend that because when you get closer to target you have no maneuver room. If you are already eating low amounts what can you do to reduce to get to your target? I would have your 15 and then as you need to reduce...

You can do either. I try to eek mine out otherwise I would end up missing some as I use them for spread, sauce, nutritional yeast and the odd treat such as a biscuit. So if you choose to eat them daily or use more than your allocated 15 (tops) and cut back the day after I don't see the harm. My...

I often wonder the same thing myself Serenity. I read that we are supposed to eat back what you exercise off but that can be pretty difficult with healthy foods being mostly low cal and all. I find that some weeks I stay the same but lose inches and then in a few weeks the scales do catch up...

OMGGgoodness!! I am SO sorry Nat for EVERYONE involved and his little ones urrrgh! That's awful news. (((HUGS)))

WELL DONE YOU!! 2 stone award AND avoiding the calorific food!! Have a lovely weekend out with your mum!! :D

Ahhh never had those, I know they are vegan but never seen them. According to the website they should be in Asda and Sainsbury's but not near me they aren't. The standard ones are everywhere, Not sure why the red onion ones are free and the standard ones aren't....do you know? Perhaps they are...

Thanks! Tons of eggs and sweetner, would have to sub lots of egg alternatives which would have to be synned so not so much 1 syn but many hahahaaahh. They don't sound so great actually aren't they a tad sickly sweet? (I really hate artificial sweetner the taste is awful)

I am SURE that this thread keep bloody hiding posts. None of these were here before when I just came.....wtf?! :/ You didn't cheat, so not sure what you mean? You did really well! It's half a pound off don't be hard on yourself as you said you can see the difference! :D THWAAAACK! LOL, sorry...

Well done Tash!! :happy096: Yes hide them, you will send yourself silly otherwise. Try to weigh on the same surface and similar time/clothes when you do weigh in too. That's what I do. :) Syn free LM sausages?? Which ones? The standard ones are 2syns each. Try weighing one. What make are...

Congrats on the weight loss. You seem to be getting a good handle on things too. Keep it up!! :D

Me too you can PM me I give permission. I don't think it would be deemed stalkerish or in any way inappropriate to send someone ONE PM. If they don't respond then we don't continue, but each has their own interpretation I guess. You have my permission to use pointy shoes, whip and any other...

Yes, the one and only, Jessie pavelka. Corky and I have an agreement that whoever wins the lottery first will buy him for a week for us to share :-) Then we'd buy him for another week for the fitness training :D I had to read that twice before it sank in...........:8855::gimi:;) he isn't my...

Loving the chart idea!! :8855:About the whip......hmmm well a little birdie told me.........hahaahhhaa! Handcuffs too, well I'm saying nutin' ;) (makes a change!) OMG Nooooooooooooooo do you mean Jessie Pavelka?!!??! If so he's mine hon!!!! *sorry hubbie* :o I'd soon have him vegan so he would...

I only do green as I'm vegan. Chipmunk gave some excellent advice. I'm off to view myself actually :D Not sure about the syns, sorry.

GET IN!!!!!! WHOOO HOOOO well done you!! :happy096: Andrea there are several of us that lost 1lb this week hon, it's FAB because it's ONE POUND LESS FAT carried about. Don't feel down, of course big losses are good and great n all but nice and steady is great too! Your big loss week/s will...

Yup I know! Tell me about it! Hugest turn off ever is lycra and that's on women too, not being sexist....would I dare after the footie post?!! :8855:

Wow you guys are ALL amazing!! :happy096::happy096:

Sucks that about work space and mucky messes doesn't it :( Good for you for getting out there in the crappy weather to exercise *and* lots of fruit and veggies ;) hurrah!

Whoo Happy Birthday Dexter??! Hmm? :D Thanks for the low down on the dvd I think I will add it to my to do list lmao....seriously I think I will put it on the ''to get list'' :) Wonder if the library has it? I could rent it to try it first. Hmmmmm :thankyou: Aww thanks Lynda, I really did...

Hope you are feeling better Boons. How was weigh in? Don't go AWOL on us now! :)

OOoooh no you don't missus!!! Keep positive and you can DO IT!! Think 9.5lbs, feeling MUCH better, looking MUCH better, healthier and happier OR fed up, miserable and all for a moment of a taste in your mouth? Think West Highland Way, you CAN DO IT!! :secret:<------- that's me twittering in your...

Glad you have um moved the mountain?! ;) Change in diet can do that to you, hopefully as you settle in you body will ''sort itself out'' :o don't blame you for not wanting to rely on laxative crap. Exercise will help too so maybe that will give things a nudge (just read your last post as I was...

Hope you are doing really well!! :D

Good for you, hide those scales till Wednesday mornings! :D Are you keeping a diary on here to help you keep to plan? Awesome!!! :D Well done, see the work pays off! :) At least you know the reason, draw a line and get back in the driving seat, you CAN do this!!! :) That sounds a lot from...

OOps forgot to add my loss. It was 1lb. I know without looking back what I did ''wrong''. I certainly wasn't eating enough last week and with all the exercising I am doing I am sure I am in a calorie deficit so my metabolism is slowing down. I just couldn't be bothered eating much, even to have...

Good luck, or rather, hope you did well as it was yesterday now! :D Keep at it Lynda! Toning up too, awesome! :) Sounds like a plan, Stan!! You can do this!!!!! FANFLIPPINTASTICO JO!!!!! Well done you! :D

Welcome all the newbies! :) Let's kick some weight loss butt! :D

Hope everything is ALL OK NOW!!!! :)

Thanks Emmey. It's true is that about the scales. I have been working my butt off for a couple of months now. Firstly monitoring what I was walking and pushing myself that way and then the exercise bike (about 3 weeks). For the first I would say 4 weeks I never saw a change in the scales, I took...

It's an exercise bike, zoikes it's too cold to cycle 15 miles and I don't think a seeing me sweating and ''going for it'' is best for drivers......may cause a few accidents and not in a nice way either :8855:

If you normally go more regularly than what you are doing, I would suggest something with high fibre. Try kidney beans, lentils, porridge oats, bananas, raspberries and apples all are high in fibre - those kind of things. If you like it try having a hot water with a couple of slices of lemon...

:8855::8855::8855::8855::happy096: I'm on the blower to Richard Keys and Andy Gray as I type those morons don't know what they are talking about :8855::8855::8855: it's allllll about the purses and shoes baaaybbeee! :D
