I'd like to hear some of these too!

Right I am weighing in on Monday will see how much I have to lose from then. Anyone who's had their Christmas weigh in already hope you are all looking towards a big loss next week!! YOU CAN DO IT :D

After weeks, or possibly months, of messing about I am finally read to get back on the slimming wagon! This is a food diary just to help keep on track and any advice or tips are VERY welcome. I hope to reach target by Easter so fingers crossed:) FRIDAY EXTRA EASY Breakfast: 3 thin crisps...

Okay time to get back on the slimming wagon!! I didn't do as well as I'd hoped to have done in the weeks up to Christmas so didn't reach my Christmas wish, but I think there are 12/13 weeks to Easter and I want to make up for it now! So anyone want to join me in trying to get to target by Easter? :)

hah I probably had 3,200,200 syns!!! dont worry about it at all, I'd say youve done better than atleast 70% of slimming worlders! Its just one day won't matter in the long run :)

thanks same to you:) im back on track for new years lol!

I have gone completely CRAZY:o Gone are the days when I used to laugh at the thought of anyone thinking SW was hard to stick to! Gone are the days when I used to be disappointed with 1/2-1lb's off! I don't know what's went wrong with me, I joined slimming world last april and lost a stone but...

looks delicious! how did it taste?

Was hungry today!! Breakfast: Melon, pineapple, two rocky roads (HEB) and a muller light. Lunch: 2 apples, orange, pear, banana and a muller light. Dinner: Pasta with lots of mushrooms, onions and peppers and passata. HEA: 375ml s.milk HEB: 2 rocky road hifis Snacks: 2 rocky road hifis (6)...

yikes! Just gobbled down a 1/2 syn jelly, make that 14.5 syns

Okay for today: Breakfast: Melon, strawberries, orange, apple, a syn free sausage and a muller light. Lunch: Weetabix oaty bar (4), apple, orange and a muller light. Dinner: Pea curry and rice with lots of mushrooms, onions and peppers. HEA: 375ml s.milk HEB: 2 rocky road hifis Snacks...

Hi Liz, on same page as you started back again today after a month or so of on off plan, (...mostly off:o) and to think I used to be the PERFECT slimming worlder, used to be shocked at the idea of anyone ever wanting to go off plan lol! So back on plan today and have decided to quit group and do...

Pretty pleased with how today went! :D

I have decided to stop going to group, honestly just don't think it's benefited me recently, caused more stress than I think it was worth and sometimes I think weigh in day was just a bit of an excuse for me to pig out afterwards! That said I'm still going to weigh in ONCE a week at home (when I...

Oh so you have to pay for all the equipment and the rent of the hall etc yourself? How do you get paid? If you get more people going to your group does that mean you get more money? If that's not too nosey lol

Thankyou Scarlettt, beginning to realise how silly I'm being!!

On the Slimming World website they've predicted I won't be at target until 5/7/2017!!!! Hah!! Well I'll just have to prove them wrong lol!! I've been a member for 28 weeks, and I've lost 13lbs so just less than 1/2 a pound a week, surely it shouldn't take me over four years to lose the last...

I used to be able to follow SW 100% always stuck well within my syns, always enjoyed what I was eating, very slow losses but usually consistant, then after a while I just kind of lost motivation and was finding it very difficult for the past month or so I've being having the odd day well over my...

I have 13-15 syns every single day! When I first joined I did the same as you, always had around 10 or less but I don't think I could stick to that anymore! Syns are there to be used, lots of people have their full 15 a day x:)

whats a fastforward?

Rocky road hifi (3), berry bakewell hifi (6), Advantages d'lites (4) and Lasagne (2) = 15 :)

HOOOOOOOOOONK!!!!! So proud of myself lol :D

I can't see how many he got lol 100g would be quite a big portion x

Sometimes just seems like I'm following plan 100% and still gaining 1/2lb or STS, just wonder do you think the plan works for EVERYONE if they give it 100%? Maybe it's just an off week now and again?

Good luck! Success express has never really worked for me strangely :/ but I know a lot of people find it very success:pful!

Loving all these suggestions thanks xx Might have to try that book browsie, sounds good to me! I've tried Paul McKenna before but just didn't seem to do it for me :(

Thinking about you're probably right, better to have HEB than more syns I suppose, I would probably just have them both lol! :rolleyes: Atleast it's in the right direction!!

hmm if I were you I wouldn't have the alpen bar if you aren't hungry for it.. plus you get two of the alpen lights for a HEB :) That said maybe you should if it's there for the fibe, just don't see the point if you aren't hungry lol

I don't like the layout either, I wound rather it was set out breakfast lunch dinner and snacks, although I know that doesn't suit everyone. I don't like how I could write down pasta and have had truck loads of pasta at every hour interval in the day, and also write down melon and have had just...

I prefer when less people stay for group actually! More time for chatting and less time spent on going through weighs and gains!!

32:break_diet:

Last time you were probably in the right frame of mind, and not feeling sorry for yourself? Lol that sounds harsh but I'm not meaning to be rude, we all do it and it's easy to get stuck in a 'poor me, I'm so fat, it's not fair everyone else can eat what they want :((' mood, I do it almost every...

Hi everyone, it seems to me like most if not all of our biggest sabatogers is emotional/comfort eating. Today after weigh in were I lost 1.5lbs (and was very pleased with) I decided to treat myself to an extra HEB which then turned into 3 HEB's which then turned into popcorn (which i just needed...

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like without slimming world??!! Can't even imagine, I'm that sad lol

1.5lbs off today! Was very pleased as weigh ins just haven't been doing me any justice the last few weeks. But stupid me went home from weigh in and had a big silly splurge :(

1 and a 1/2 is brilliant!! well atleast i think so i got the same this week and was very pleased :D good job x

Coco chanel :p

A man in my group lost four stone to get to target in about four months I think which is super quick in my opinion!

I know what you mean! I'm popping on every other hour nearly lol and I'm always hoping a few new threads will have popped up but it's usually very slow moving these days :,( There must be more people with silly questions to ask right?!! lol

craving one of these right now but i only bought one packet and they're all gone :cry: wish they came in four packs!

Well actually for me anyway I don't believe it would be possible. Just depends how slow your loses are in general, for me I could stick to plan 100%, eat scan bran, do a success express week etc and I would lose at most 5lbs in a month. So if you're someone like me who only loses 1/2-1 1/2 lbs a...

I thought they were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice, please tell me I'm not the only one who actually really liked them?! :eek::rolleyes:

For a taster once our consultant made SW chips and because she was a bit rushed she said she only had time to get a bag of pre-cut peeled potatoes and because there wasn't any oil or anything extra on them she said they were free! :) Think she got them from asda but I've got them from Spar too...

Last year I went off plan for a whole week on Christmas. Wasn't crazy the whole week though, just had a lot on and wanted to enjoy it. I don't mind a gain at Christmas, think it's worth it :) Hoping to have 10.5lbs off by then, 1/2lb of so far so hopefuly looking good :)

oh yikes what was the replacement???

I liked the cherry bakewells, they are basically exactly what they say on the tin lol, so if you don't like them it's likely you don't like reall cherry bakewells either

Hmm, no pretty sure that's not the case but not positive, I'm a member of a gym that I get weighed and measured in at once a month, but we only weigh in before we've started working out, but I think that's because you're measurements are slightly wider after exercise, don't think it's anything...

hahahhaa, hmmm I think you're probably right!!! Last week I saw my consultant trying to sell the peanut bars to an innocent new member with a nut allergy who hadn't a clue what was in them!!!! :eek: lol only joking, but you're right that's not very fair, good on you writing a letter x

lol! this cheered me up 'why can't fat be the new slim'????? :D the worst thing for me is i can't even enjoy a treat now and again without feeling guilty and end up going on a massive binge!!! atleast you resisted! if I only I had your will power on saturday, went on a MONSTER binge and even...

Thanks for all your help and advice everyone, fingers crossed no more binges! Feel so annoyed at myself though, it's not even as though I enjoy these pig outs I feel rubbish every single time, why do we put ourselves through these things?! Even more annoyed today, stepped on the scales and I was...

A hot chocolate, an ice cream sundae, a scone with jam and butter, a malteaser slice, a cupcake, a sliceofcake, two bowls of cereal, two slices of shortbread, a packet of crisps AND TWO SLICES OF TOAST (no i'm not joking, i'm able to gobble up this much and i only feel /SLIGHTLY/ sick!!) to...

Sometimes I think I'd rather just do it at home too! x Wow everyone's group sounds amazing lol, would make me consider shopping around for a different one! My group is okay, and I found my consultant good and supporting at the start, she is very lovely but recently I just don't feel she's been...

You are doing absolutely brilliant! Agree with everything everyone else is saying, a loss is a loss and if you just keep with it the weight WILL come off and yes it might be slow but in my opinion if you want to lose weight and keep it off it's never going to be very fast. Don't be so hard on...

It annoys me sooo much when someone at group has a loss something like one pound, and when consultant asks them how the week went they say 'oh, I had a rubbish week, was out Friday night, birthday party on saturday, and roast chicken with all the trimmings and apple pie on sunday. So I'm very...

I'm always curious to know how other groups compare to my own, I do like my group but it would just be interesting to know what goes on in other groups? What sort of raffle prizes do you have? What does slimmer of the week get? What do you discuss with your consultants? Do you set yourselves...

Ooh sounds lovely, can I have the lasagne recipe please? :)

Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I honestly don't think I could enjoy it properly if I had to think about dieting, I give myself a whole week of at Christmas time so it brings me right through to New Year's Day were I'll start back 100% on plan. I don't mind gaining a few pounds at...

Loooove this!!! Thanks! :D

Okay I think someone's in need of some tough loving! YES diet's are hard, *and annoying, and frustrating but so is being overweight. You choose which hard you'd rather have. I've tried many diets too so I know how you feel, *but out of them all I think slimming world has been the most...

Hi everyone:) Been a member of slimming world for quite a while but not so sure I've been following the plan as well as I could be! So I'm doing this food diary to keep in check, please feel free to share any helpful advice or comments:D Breakfast: 35g Kellog's Fruit 'n' Fibre (HEB) with...

ooh I couldnt chose between them, they all look great! im thinking of going as a cow:rolleyes:

Thanks for your reply sheanin, I would agree with you 100% on that, I just can't wait to get rid of it lol:p but I know if I want it off for good, patience is key. It's just frustrating when everyone around me seems to be having steady losses, and I'm up and down up and down like a...

Hiya, just wondering are you a new member to the website? If so you need to sign up properly online, if you're going to a group it will be free but you still have to fill in all your details. Your username is your email address that you used to register, so if you've already registered online...

I think you're all right, I'm definitely over-thinking it. I weighed in tonight after doing a week of success express and gained 2lbs, but I maybe wasn't eating enough of everything other than fruit. So I'm going to go back to the books, follow some of the plans in the magazines I have, try and...

Hi everyone, I've been following slimming world for about 24 weeks now. Here is a record of my loses. The first five weeks I lost -1, -1, -1, -1, -2 not bad losses but not great either I was following extra easy and was enjoying it well sticking 100% to plan, the next week then I lost 3.5...

Well think about it like this, what are petes menus? They are recipes so they are in the recipes section, and because pete's are very popular they are a sticky so they'll ALWAYS be at the top. :)

Basically it's just the chat you can stick around for after group after weigh in :)

Ohh I think I get it now, so my free foods are just the ones from the book? That makes sense, thanks xx

If on succes express you are allowed 1/3 of a plate free food from red or green and 2/3 superfree food, then why do you have to count the highest syn value for foods with syns? So for example if I wanted a potato for my free food because they are free on green would I have to syn it as a red...

What plan are you doing? I'm just going to assume extra easy, not sure what brand your cornbeef was but 100g asda cornbeef is 4 syns, 100g tescoes is 3.5 syns and 100g john west is 3.5 syns. If there was no fat on the bacon then that's free, again with the feta cheese not sure of the brand but...

standard bad of m and m crispies 9 syns thought that was really good!

What's sticky chicken? :)

To qualify for slimmer of the week you can't be anew member and you can't have had a gain the week before, guessing person next to you had probably gained last week? :)

Oh sorry was just a bit confused lol, what about having a muller light? I always find strawberries and pineapple are good for fixing a sweet craving if you don't have any syns left too. If you want a lower syn biscuit rich tea fingers are only 1 syn each! I know you've got no syns left today but...

Do you mean you've had your 15 syns or you've restricted yourself to 5 today?

Well PERSONALLY I would just have the wine anyway and forget about the healthy extras just for ONE day, and if you didn't have anything else that day after the wine I highly doubt it would affect your weightloss, but that's just me lol

Lol was just about to give you a big dose of tough love! Well done for sticking to it xx

I do not like diet coke or diet fanta chicken! Diet fanta chicken being the worse of the two, bleugh!:o It's just far too sickly sweet for me, though I suppose if I used smaller portions it might not be as bad.. Post an unpopular opinion you have to do with slimming world! e.g Curly wurlys...

wow thanks so much thought they were all the one brand, how are they even allowed to do that?!

aw love this, thanks! :)

wow you must have a great aim, how far away were you standing?! :p

I've been very bad this week, splurging for no reason every other day, I just can't seem to get back on track and I feel completely out of control, anyone have any tips on how to get back on slimming world?:o

oh I really like that! lol

There's nothing you can do now, it's happened so put it behind you and just make sure it doesn't happen again, it's not the end of the world and in the long run it won't make a blind bit of difference! Was there any reason why you did it though if that makes sense? Like where you craving or...

Thanks for all the tips everyone I feel a lot more motivated now! Don't know what I'd do without minimins:eek:

Hmm, now that I think of it in recent weeks I've really never felt full, even after meals I'm always counting down the time until the next one! :/ Will definatly try more of a variety thanks

Deffo drinking enough fluids, running to the toilet all the time lol! I've tried a food diary before and I should probably try again but I just don't like having to obsess over it if that makes sense? Reminds too much of calorie counting which I really don't like! Thanks for the reply xx

This is very helpful thanks, greeeeeat point about the fruit! Have bought in lots of oranges and strawberries now thanks xx :D Are grapes high sugar too?

I've been doing slimming world since easter, and following plan 100% my losses or usually 1/2 a pound 0r 1 pound, with the odd time gaining 1/2 a pound or maintaining. When I say following 100% the average day would consist of: Breakfast: 35g porridge oats, muller light yog, blueberries and 1/2...

Hi Stef, love your avatar! How did you get that?! Breakfast-First of all yes the cherries would be synned, a small 25g serving could be anything from 4 to 6 syns, depending on the brand. Yes milk is a healthy extra A, make sure you weigh out the proper healthy extra amount of it just to make...

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-off-topic/40089-where-bargains-anything-else-thats-useful.html At the top of the slimming world off topic section x

Deffo triffle or mousse rather than the cheesecake, maybe even just ice cream if they do that?

Wow thanks, sounds yum, might give it a go next week! :rolleyes: Did you remember to cut the fat off the bacon so that it's syn free? :)

is it really nice?! Does it not just taste like an egg? I sometimes poach eggs in the microwave lol

Because he's only fourteen he qualifies as what slimming world call 'free2go' not sure on the exact details of it but basically it's a sw plan for u16's that concentrates less on weightloss and more on healthy eating, so they're allowed unlimited healthy extra's except for limiting things like...

Here are the syn values for the batchelor ones: http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/151267-frequently-asked-syn-values-pasta-n-sauce-find-here.html No idea about the tesco ones though sorry, good luck on your journey! :)

After yesterday if I manage to get a maintain this week I'll be very pleased! That is a FAB idea, think I'll make slimming world chips and pea curry:rolleyes: I'm really excited now lol, thanks for the help x

Good idea, even doing that will remind me of how bad I felt! Thanks for the help, am really determined not to binge next week. :)

Thing is weigh in is in the morning so I never have breakfast before I go and when I get back it's usually just past eleven and I always seem to have zero will-power so eat whatever I like! Really like that idea of saving syns for a nice bar of chocolate though:rolleyes: will deffo be trying...

I've been doing extra easy since I first joined slimming world at around the time of Easter (not sure how many weeks, too lazy to work that out lol!) but most of my losses were only a pound or 1/2 a pound even when I thought I was doing very good, I tried a red week last week to see if it would...

:cry:I had a very good week this week and at weigh in lost FOUR POUNDS!!! which is the most I've lost EVER!! Even got slimmer of the week and my first stone award, but as always on weigh in day I came home and binged on everything in sight, I'm sooooooooooo mad at myself and I feel really awful...

lol!

Tried doing a red week last week, was so good and was expecting a big loss but only lost 1/2 a pound! Just remembered I also tried success express two weeks before that and again only lost 1/2 a pound:sigh:

I have been doing slimming world for about 15 weeks and have found my losses very slow, so I thought it might help to keep a food diary. :) Breakfast: 2 hifi lights (HEB) fruit salad (superfree) muller light mixed with a sachet of options (2 syns)

Why not try to incorporate them into your meals instead of snacking on them, think it's best to just snack on superfree foods or syn free yoghurts to guarantee a weightloss. :)

Once you reach target you still stick to the slimming world plan for life, if you want to keep of the weight, you can't just start eating 'normally' again, or it's likely that you will gain weight again, unless eating 'normally' is following the sw plan. :)

jezzi I will make sure to do that this week, maybe even just keeping a food diary will help out a bit, could show it to C too as clairebrooks said:) Aston thanks soooo much for your help, everyone is making me feel a lot more motivated now haha:D That's a very good point about salt as I...

Thanks at the minute I don't weigh out my HEA milk, I used skimmed so I get a lot (375ml) but I thought because I only use it in tea or coffee I'm unlikely to be going over but I'm going to try and weight it out from now on just incase! They are the same height as me, my sister is around the...

I thought this maybe but considering it's been going on for four or five weeks now don't think that could be it? :/

For the last few weeks my losses have been like this -1/2 a pound, maintain, -1/2 a pound, -1/2 a pound. I know this isn't that bad as 1/2 a pound is still a loss, it's just very disappointing when my mum and sister who are doing it along with me are having a lot bigger losses when they're...

Very fancy pea curry! This recipe is basically just the slimming world pea curry, except it's more of a bean curry! I love the pea curry but I think it's a bit boring so I always try and bung in something else instead of just basic pea curry ingredients to make it more interesting...

How did it go? :) Woaw I completely forgot all about this thread!! Will be posting more recipes as soon as pos! Also am going to be making a lovely rich hazelnut and white choco cheesecake this week, not sure how it will turn out as I only just made it up myself lol but it should be nice, and...

Hiya I have been doing slimming world for about three months now, I'm a bit of a slow loser (only lost 10.5lbs so far) but none the less I am really loving it!! Although I haven't yet been very imaginative with what I've been cooking I have tried quite a lot of the recipes and I thought I would...

Wanting to make this for a dinner party as it's not bad syn wise, but I don't want to make it if it's going to turn out rubbish! Has anyone tried it? It's on the website. :)

Forgot to say what I lost last Wednesday, a flipping 1/2 pound! Was reeeeally disappointed as I was doing succes express, eating a lot of yucky scanbran, and very low on syns, but whatever, atleast it's in the right direction and hopefully this week I'll have lost more.

looks great! can i have the curry recipe? :)

Weighing in tomorrow morning very nervous as for once I haven't been stepping on the scales every five seconds and haven't weighed since last week weigh in! Hoping for 2lbs+ as I've been very good this week and I've also been following succes express :)

Doing success express AND only managed to have 1/2 a syn today, didn't need anymore! :)HONK!

I might just do that too to be on the safe side, lol still far better than a big bar of chocolate though! and woaw your weightloss is AMAZING:eek: it's like you cut yourself in half!

Just realised I should have posted this in healthy extras, whoops sorry!

I just worked out today that if I wanted to use my HEB for two slices of hovis nimble, and had two hifi lights later in the day I would have to syn them for 6 syns. Buuut if I decided to use my hifi lights for a healthy extra then syn my hovis nimble for 5 syns, I would save 1syn even though I'm...

I wouldn't count it myself, but I usually would go for around 8-10 syns a day, never having more than maybe 12 unless I really needed them all that day lol! Meaning that I still have enough syns left over incase of little syns like that, hidden syns or small syns I forgot about. :)

Breakfast: cauliflower, salad, tinned tomatoes and 3 sauages (1.5 syns) Lunch: Apple, banana, 2 small mashed potatoes and beans. Snack: rasberries, apple and HEB peanut bar AND a del monte ice lolly (4 syns). Big snack! :o Dinner: pasta, garlic, tomato pesto, red pepper and mushrooms. Snack...

Not sure whether that's a good thing or bad thing, lol! And wow, well done on your weightloss!! :eek:

I couldn't count the number of times I've started and stopped food diaries on two hands!! I started slimming world just after Easter and since then I've lost 10.5lbs and am really enjoying it. :) At the moment I'm just at the tip of a healthy BMI, but would really like to lose another stone and...

Melon, vanilla muller light and yummy rocky road hifi bar. (1/2 HEB)

To be sure though it's best to check it up on the slimming world website, in your book or on here!

Don't be so hard on yourself!!! You didn't go on a binge, you didn't turn away completely from the diet, you're determined to get right back on track and really you haven't even done anything wrong! I wouldn't even call it a slip up, at most a very small one! I just synned it for you online and...

Oh whoops sorry, thanks :) Just making sure people know there are such things as these on the market!

But she had just bought pre cut potatoes in a bag from asda like OP stated.. when she said chips I think she might have just meant potatoes?

Consultant brought chips in made up with these for a target member party at group last week and she said they were syn free???

ha ha ha! :p I think I'll start swimming more this summer!

Going to try the smash one at the weekend, thanks!

helmans fat free vinaigrette, lovely :)

Having sw chips tonight..not sure what with though hmm

Is that only 3 and a 1/2 syns then? :O

Well done on your first weightloss and I'm glad you're enjoying slimming world so far! :D OFCOURSE you'll be able to lose the five stone! If you stick by plan and don't miss group, even if you've had a bad week, you will definitely get there. If I were you I would just focus on getting your 1/2...

Yeah pretty sure you're right, except for getting the password the online membership isn't even really connected to group at all, I think... I had to fill my details and everything in again.

Can't see them listed as HEB sorry :( Brunch Bar, Chocolate Chip, 35g bar- 8 syns on extra easy Brunch Bar, Hazelnut , 35g bar- 8 syns on extra easy Brunch Bar, Raisin , 35g bar- 7 1/2 syns on extra easy xx:) not sure what that is at the bottom of my post lol :S

Yes that's true, but it's also only 5cals away from 4 and a 1/2 syns.. I probably would round up though I don't think it would make a big difference either way.

It doesn't seem like you're eating very much altogether.. are you trying to cut back or just not hungry?

An options sachet mixed with a vanilla muller light, soooooo nice and only two syns!

Thanks very much, suppose that should have been an obvious one:o, think I will give these a go!

Just one hour now! :P

here comes the sun:)

Thanks so much! Will be trying these for a picnic very soon:)

Great idea systema, not a big fan of the tiny slimming world food diary sheets! :o

Sorry if this is a silly question, but do you cook the pork and bacon before blitzing it? :confused: And has anyone tried this recipe, what's the verdict?:)

If you're a member on the website there's lots of great picnic ideas on there!

I've attempted keeping a food diary online before but just didn't have the motivation (and memory!) to keep it up, I'm going to give it another shot and hopefully this time I'll be more successful. Any advice, observations or tips would be very much appreciated! :) Breakfast: 35g Fruit 'n'...

Thanks patchworkpuss and clairex, not feeling so bad now! :) Patchworkpuss, think I'll just go for the second, I don't mind if I gain because I'll know why! Next time I'm going to order chicken and mushrooms with boiled rice from the chinese before I go out, then I can eat it when I come back...

Yesterday I was doing well, I went out and I didn't drink at all or have any syns, but then I came home and just ate and ate and ate and ate and ate loads of syns! :wave_cry::sigh: What do you do after a pig out?

I've started having a syn free pot shot for my breakfast along with fruit salad as it's very handy and very yummy too! But I was just worried maybe I'm having too many? How many potshots would you recommend you have a day/a week?

If you had a big fruit salad before/along with your lunch I think that would be fine? (Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't been a member too long myself either :P) And for your breakie that would be perfect if you had mushrooms or onions or a big side salad along with it! :)

well done! :)

Not if she's hungry. :)

A small bowl of fruit salad and a tomato and herb potshot. :)

It's only ever 30p when on special offer, when I see it anyway!

Lost 3.5lbs this week (my biggest loss so far), got my 1/2 stone award, AND won slimmer of the week! :D Just a bit worried for next week as I already have this awful feeling I've gained.. How did you do at WI this week?

I tried Paul McKenna's but unfortunately it didn't have any affect on me at all. :( I can relate to almost every post here, feels good to know I'm not alone!

3 low-fat slimming world sausages from butcher (1.5syns), 2 big mushrooms roasted, then topped with lettuce tomato and half HEA allowance of cheese and grilled served with salad. Was sooooooooooooo yummy.

I lost a pound my first week, a pound my second week, a pound my third week, a pound my fourth week, and two pound on my fifth week. I was quite disappointed but the thing is with sw I KNOW it's a loss I can keep off. Not like previous diets were I would lose 3 or 4 pound in a week and put it...

1200 is a very small amount :eek:

what is that? :o

no idea sorry, though do you mean as healthy extra/syns or as in would it taste right?

Mushy pea curry: -1 tin baked beans -1 tin tomatoes -1 tin mushy peas -curry powder Mix all together and heat in a saucepan. I prefer to mix it up a bit because it was a bit boring for me! Yes you do, hope you enjoy it haha! :)

I personally wouldn't worry about the pineapple ring being tinned or fresh... and everything else seems free! :) And for the buffet everything mentioned above sounds great, you could also make egg mayonaise and just have plain egg halfs yourself, the slimming world pea curry is delic and syn...

It was yummy, bit of a mix up on the slimming world pea curry, you can have that recipe too if you like but it's not much different x 1) Mix together in a saucepan: -tin of spaghetti in tomato sauce (or baked beans) -tin of red kidney beans -tin of chickpeas -tin of chopped tomatoes 2) Add as...

thanks very much, five must have been right then! :D

Chickpea and kidney bean curry and rice

:O I never knew that! That's fab! That sounds delicious cazran will have to give it a go! :D

If you asked for mashed potatoes instead of chunky chips with the steak, would that not make it almost syn free?

saw somewhere they were 5 syns? not sure how right that is but I've eaten them now ;)

Can't seem to find the syns in these ANYWHERE! Does anyone know how many? Can't use the 1 syn = 20 kcals either as they don't even say the calories on the bag. :o

Mmm they are DELICIOUS melted slighty over calliflour.

yes you're right, think they're 60cals so 3 syns x hahhaha ally89, my tescos is rubbish too but they do have the lovely vanilla options so there's hope!:) oh what's the quark cheesecake like cazran25? I looooove cheesecake!

Personally I think free2go would be PERFECT for her, as it concentrates on healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle rather than losing weight. It focuses on making 'cool swaps' like e.g swapping a packet of crisps for snack a jacks or instead of getting a mc donalds going for slimming world chips...

If I were you I would go back to extra easy for the rest of the week, still allow myself syns but don't go overboard, maybe 5-8? Really don't worry about it, it's brilliant you've managed to reach target! We're all going to have blips sometimes but aslong as you aren't completing falling of...

ooh sounds fab!

Oooh weigh in tonight, fingers crossed, good luck everyone!

Our group doesn't even have a basket! We have a fruit bowl for the slimmer of the week, two weeks ago all that was in it was 2 apple, a kiwi and an orange, and it didn't help that that week there were TWO slimmers of the week, all they got were two pieces of fruit each! Then last week I actually...

Had this a few weeks ago because I'd run out of baked beans and mushy peas to make a pea curry and had to just use whatever was in the cupboard. It was DELICIOUS, and I've been trying different variations of the pea curry ever since, so delicious! :rolleyes: 1) Mix together in a saucepan: -tin...

Haven't posted in this in a while, keep forgetting! :( Breakfast today: Had a biiig breakfast because it's a Sunday and I just couldn't help myself! First of all I had 2 scrambled eggs on toast (HEB) with tons of mushrooms. Then I had fruit salad with a muller light AND sweet chilli snack a...

Just extra easy, but it's a bit different, instead of the 10-15 syns rule, you chose 2 treats from a list of synned items.

I've being going for four weeks, and have lost a total of 4 pounds! Even on my first week only lost a pound! :S Hmm, not so bad if it keeps coming off, but I keep thinking it's going to stop sometime.

It's pretty good, lots of great meal ideas! Probs more suitable for someone just joining up but still good. :)

Grapes, strawberries, pineapple, melon, all syn free! You could bring one of those little fruit salad boxes? Velvet crunch 4 syns a bag, rainbow drops 28g = 4 syns, skips 17g bag 4 1/2 syns, skips 15.5g bag 4 syns, all I can think of right now. :) Oh and rich tea finger biscuits only 1 syn a...

Welcome back! :D Wow, 8.5lbs in one week?! That is AMAZING, well done!!!

One with my breakie, and probably another two throughout the day :S Rochelle1- A lot of fruit and then usually salad with my dinner in the evening, thanks I'm going to try and eat more melon now! I try and do atleast half an hour everyday, but maybe I'm not doing enough? I'd like to just lose 2...

Most of the time, but I suppose dinner sometimes has less super free than it should! :o And I probably am not drinking enough water... Thanks, I am quite happy with 4lb but I just keep thinking this will be the week I don't lose, or this will be the week I gain, can't keep losing with the amount...

Well today I had: Breakfast: melon and a muller light Mid-morning: skips (4 syns) Lunch: Mashed potato, beans and a banana Snack: An apple and 2 slimming world bars (HEB) Dinner: salad rice and mushy pea curry Snack: Slimming world ice cream with options sachet and half a packet of mini...

I actually don't find them THAT bad. :confused: Yes the light are nicer and probably creamer but I still quite like the extra light!

I've just been looking through the other food diaries on here and I really think I'm just eating too much, probably would be ashamed to put my food diary up now! :o Going to plan this week though and hopefully fingers crossed I'll lose more. Hahaha, doesn't come across rude at all, that's a...

I've been doing SW for 4 weeks now and have lost a total of 4 pounds. I'm really enjoying SW, and I know this isn't a bad loss, but I'm just feeling quite fed up as many people lose more than this in their first week! To be completely honest I probably have been snacking too much but I never...

mmm, sounds delicious!

WI today, slightly nervous! :( Breakfast- Fruit salad and toffee muller light. Lunch- apple, grapes, alpen light (3 syns), 2 slices of nimble bread (HEB) with 2 light laughing cow triangles (1/2HEA) Snack- vanilla muller light.

Saw both in my local tesco today, even though it's a smaller one!:)

No point in regretting it now, it's done and over with. Try and be very good until WI and if you gain you gain, better gaining and knowing why than gaining when you've been very good! Start a fresh next week and hopefully you'll have a loss! :) Slimmingworld's not a quick fix it's a lifelong...

No ordinary carrots cooked would work just as well, think the tinned ones are just for handyness!

I'm pretty sure there are lots of people in your position, the best thing you can do is keep trying! Have you spoken to your consultant about this? Maybe they will have some tips? I can't think of any good advice except to not give up! Have you tried options hot choco sachets? They can flavour...

Slimming world! :p

PatchworkPuss I think my eyesight must be going because I can't find that other thread lol! lexie-k I think this answers your question http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/174362-half-healthy-extra.html:)

Haven't heard of a lot of these flavours! Must give mint and banoffee a go, yum!

Have been sticking to extra easy just for handyness.

Not sure what to have for lunch! Just had some grapes and pineapple. :)

voice

I thought that looked fab too! Bacon would probably be just as good? :)

Thinking of doing some baking, just wondering is food colouring syn free? :confused:

Are they really worth it or is the freezing method just as good? And does anyone have any low syn ice-cream recipes? :D Thanks

I'm sure you will too, don't worry about it! I wonder if there are any slimming world recipe roast potatoes! :p

Think I might try the butternut squash soup tonight! :)

Have had a better start today:) Breakfast: 2 egg omelette with ham and 3 extra light laughing cow triangles(1/2HEA), salad and a toffee muller light. Was actually hungry this time! Snacked on a light slimming world bar(1/2HEB) and some grapes and pineapple. Lunch- Made up a delicious curry...

Hahhahaha, I wouldn't like to know how many I had previously either! Thanks I am really enjoying it so far, just need to work on portion control and snacking when I'm not hungry! I love this website, thinking about bringing it up in group if I can pluck up the courage! :p

Thanks Pete, I am really enjoying SW so far! I tried making menus but find it very difficult sticking to them, too much snacking! Well done on your weight loss, amazing! :eek:

I think it's to show the person who's diet it is, just how bad their diet is, if that makes sense? Seeing someone else try to manage it. :)

Think it was the hunger games!

ClareMcC_TT - They are DELICIOUS! Especially almost frozen, taste like mint ice cream to me. :)

I just tried the hazelnut options tonight and it was DELICIOUS! My favourite at the moment I think. :rolleyes: Can't belive they're only 2 syns, what's your favourite options flavour? Or low syn hot chocolate?

On slimming world sorry, good luck x

Haha just looking at everyone elses diaries and realising I eat FAR too much!!!
