1/2 off and no idea how! Really powered up for a good week. 3lb total off. I have 2 to get out of my stone bracket which is always me bad time!

No photos cause of work. [lunch] Baked potato with tuna and onion Dinner Stew with doop of red sauce Evening snack Leftover curry thing and 1 bar

Dinner EE

Thanks. I'm trying this time I'm definitely making better choices - my body is craving good food not fatty crap lol Going to try a few sp days this week but couldn't today (wanted rice!)

Breakfast SP

Hi i'm Hayley and i'm aiming to loose 4 and a half stone. I am trying a mix of SP and EE. I will try to post here each meal i eat. If you like the look of a meal, please ask me how to make it :) I welcome any tips/warnings/advice too, so if you see something wrong or you don't think i should...

I'm struggling with this at the mo. I'm by no means dependant but I drink beer and when I'm on a night out can easily pack away 12 cans. I weigh in on Monday so a weekend in the beer is not helpful to any weightloss. I can't drink anything else (I can't cope with hangovers which beer don't give...

Weigh in days are no eating days lol

1/2lb :(

Been approx a year or more. But hello. I'm back to class and a few lbs heavier but I'm still trying. I have lost my horse so now I havea goal of losing five stone before I get another one. I've been doing a weekly circuit training class and eating well just need to stop socialising! Only...

if you mean the website, well yeah i shut it down to make time for my new one Home which is for horses and road safety awareness

My twitter? yes i changed it to wild_equi

My own personal opinion, but i think that EE is the best. In my first week i lost 9lb and my secret was no bread or cereal at all. carbsa re the worst.

I notice my weight loss is greater if i don't have any.

Well i have been maintaining my weight since the last time i was here, which is not good. I just can't get over this hurdle and i don't know why. Really need to power on and get over this one step!!!

I have just sold my 16.1 thoroughbred, now i have a heinz 57 (its thought to be a cob x tb) hes only 15.1 so he is spurring on my weightloss cause i feel bad for him having to lug me about.

Hi I have decided to stop drinking whiskey (don't want to talk about it) I don't drink vodka or gin so I'm left with peach schnapps. I know that it's (here in Ireland) 4syns per 35ml but that's for 18% proof archers. But there is ones that are 14% or varying % so wondering if this will...

I was very ill from Wednesday so i had two days of eating nothing (youd think this is a good thing :P) and on friday all i could manage was bread and chocolate digestives and lucozade. Saturday i was well enough so i was so hungry i ate anything near me and i'm not sorry for it either. Sunday i...

Yes you are likely to have a bigger loss after your TOTM and 6 is totally doable, but just be good this week too so you don't get complacent!

I know! Im so excited. I got to 13lb my last attempt and blew it, so really looking forward to this.

Think about it this way mickey, say 50 people go to that class and 50 people dont like the consultant. that 50 people whos lives are suffering because the service they pay for is not up to scratch. if the consultant is bad, she needs to know that she has to change or get fired. she gets paid for...

I'm so chuffed. I'm over half way to my 10% which is a big goal for me :)

Thanks. I know there is a lot of them, but there are few really good forums. horse and hound is full of snobs, your horse is full of children and the rest...noone knows about them hhaa

Seriously thought i had weight on this week, was totally not going to go to class. 3.5 off!!!!! Now out of the 16s into the 15s and got slimmer of the week too! Great haul, 5 bananas, 6 oranges, 7 kiwis a yogurt and 8 apples! :D

Agreed ^ You have done it before you can do it again. Stop beating yourself up or you won't do anything. Get positive, only you can do it and you CAN do it, you have before.

Anyone else find they have a gain or sts when they work night duties? I have two this weekend and i stayed the same last time i had one. So i haven't had a 100% week but ND won't help matters! What can i have on ND that will help me loose weight? I usually only have spag hoops and yogurts as...

I have just re-started really so i have not got an exersize plan yet. I have just ordered the zumba fitness for wii though so i plan to do that a bit! Im also running 5k in june, i can walk it so im not bothred about training, but next year i would like to run it :) Having a bad week this week...

I know we are all on here for the same reason, to loose weight, and i think that to be healthy you need to not have overly too much fat. your docotor is the person who knows what weight you should be, and he should be listened to. this woman is just complaining because shes fat and wants someone...

Anyone have a horse? I am working on my own website with a forum, so if you do please have a look and tell me what you think :) Home

I had a naughty meal this week, along with my treat on monday night i think it might have sabotaged my weight loss for the week, but thing is i am going to be doing this diet for the rest of life so one week of staying same or gain wont throw me off the wagon, i am on the wagon again and trying...

Thursday 10th May Breakfast: 42g All Bran, ss Milk Lunch: 1/2 plate broccoli, 1 medium baked potato, tbsp homemade synfree salsa, 1 slice lowlow cheese(3)

Watch a video on how they actually make fast food. You won't want it after that ;)

I don't eat meat so fast food isn't my thing! Apart from chips and pizza lol. Well done so far, sorry for assumptions. But i suggest you take a day you are off sometime and have a cookery session! cook loads of meals and parcel them up and then next time you are starved and strapped for time...

Hi, do you drink tea or coffee through the day? Do you accurately syn everything and stick to your healthy as and bs?

I didn't know that about the 5 syns, good to know. I don't generally use a lot of syns though haha.

Alli can say is this isnt weight watchers, it is not reccommended that you eat something just to use your syns, thats counter productive. if you really wanted something to eat, then fine use your syns to eat that something, but if you are just eating a tin of corned beef to use your syns up then...

Its not the best textures, but for a veggie its like heaven! Something i can really get my teeth into haha

Thanks! Yeah, i have come to terms this time round that i cant guilt myself or feel like i have blown it. This is a life long thing and this is a one day treat! I wouldn't go out again tomorrow and do it, i am back on track and i will be for the rest of the week! Hope you enjoyed your treat!

Lastnight i weighed and have 1.5 off, not amazing but slow steady progress is all im after. So i had my treat as usual. Then today we went out and unexpectedly ended up in the chinese and i had a salad starter and boiled rice with a mushroom veg thing with no sauce. THEN i was very naughty and...

Well done everyone!

stopping smoking is tough. its an addiction, so my advice is to find something else to addict yourself to, but in a good way! I have got into SW much more thoroughly through not smoking and anytime i want a ciggy i pick up my SW book or go on the site and i soon forget about it but its helping...

1.5 off, total 9.5 now!

Oh there is, just use fry lite instead of oil. but im sure they dont do that in work!

Hmm! I know i have had a decent week, had a bit of a bad day yesterday cause i was in work and there was a sunday dinner and the only thing i eat of that is the roast potatoes lol I sts last week im assuming it had something to do with my TOTM so im hoping that weight has gone and i have a good...

I couldnt lol

Ooof, i went to Oz a few weeks ago and flew Virgin Atlanic on the way there and i was so uncomfortable, but in this case i think my fat helped me! IT gave my seat some padding and stopped me getting bruises from teh narrow narrow seats (i mean my skinny sister had to squeeze in!)

Thats great! Very happy for you :D

Hmmm, this is a strange meal but mouth is watering! lol

Hmm, i am leaning towards it definitely! In the mood for mashed spuds though, would that be totally gross? I always put in some natural yogurt with my fajita mix so its like a sauce instead of dry i find it too dry with rice otherwise lol

I didn't get to see my first one past the first meeting, circumstances meant i couldn't go back to that group so i went to a different one to get weighed, but again didn't stay at that group it was too far so i went to my third one and she was okay. I stuck with her for -13lbs then went on...

Of everything will be made to SW standard haha

Friday nights are my soap catch up night. So i usually get a pizza and chips and pig out. Nae more! So what can i have tonight i am not sure what i fancy. Im veggie so when i say meat assume its the quorn equivalent lol Choices are: Chicken Korma with boiled rice Lasagne with fat free cot...

Lentils are too sweet for me, and i put sweetner in my pasta! lol Ate a strawberry yogurt with bits instead of the smooth one...does this count? :P

Mine would be gone in one night hehhe But yes i do sort of do this. I got an easter egg (galaxy) that had three large bars with it. On a monday night i eat whatever dinner i want and have a slice of the bar, i still have one bar left and the easter egg itself, but i know im only allowed one...

I think everyone has a bit of a "last treat" before starting. I have started a few times so this time i knew i was starting and i gave myself two weeks. One week for eating crap, one week eating sensible then i started as new. You have done it before though so you can do it again! But this time...

Yes! I got my aunty into it and shes lost 2 stone, my mum does it at home and has lost 4lb my dad tries but he is too lazy lol but he did loose 5 lb. i love it i tell anyone i see about it. I hope to become a consultant eventually!

Everyone is doing great! Great incentive!

Well thats not terribly out of plan, as long as you syn it correctly you can stick on plan. You might benefit from doing yourself a weekly plan and sticking to it religiously! Try that and see how you go x

Its called as much as you like but always in moderation. I mean, don't eat a whole bag of pasta lol. You just don't have to weigh it out like in weight watchers, which usually leaves you hungry. Eat until you are full, don't force it.

Congrats!! You have come to the right place :)

My syn fairy stepped in too! I had a very busy day and missed breakfast and dinner, so was all set for getting a chinese but came home and there was 3 eggs in the hen coop so i had those instead!

Why are you going off plan? What are you doing? Do you want sweet things or carbby things or just finding it hard to stick to the foods you are allowed?

You are quite tall, therefore the size you are you don't really have that much to loose. The less weight you have to loose the slower it goes for you x

As said it definitely slows down so they say. Work on your torso with sit ups and crunches, they really tone up your belly.

SW advise that you do extra easy for the first 4 weeks, to get your weightloss started and to get you firmiliar with it. I would really do it first rather than red and green as they can be very confusing.

Thursday 3rd May Breakfast:Missed Lunch: Pasta (Tomato and Herb) Dinner: 3xeggs, 1/4 onion, spinach leaves omlette. Syns: 1 slice white bread - 3 1 tbsp lowlow butter - 3 1 tbsp egg filler - 2 Snacks: 1 muller light, Pear A: 250ml Semi Skimmed Milk B: 2xWeetabix Thoughts: Good day...

I know where you are coming from, but its all about habit too. I have got into the habit that i only eat really bad syns on a monday night, through the week i stick to muller lights. The way you do it, perhaps you can try every other night then something like a yogurt or fruit inbetween so that...

The pear has been in the fridge, was that a bad idea?

Ill try, but the hairyness grosses me out, i can't touch them hahaha

I draw the line under bananas, no way! They disgust me, the smell the look the black bits....eugh!!

Thats great!

I want to be able to eat fruit, it's healthy and i think i need some of it! I've never ate fruit before cause i just don't like the texture so apart from apples pears and grapes i dunno what any other fruit is like. That is why i am going to be making myself eat at least one piece of fruit a...

I didn't make myself as clear as i could have, one heb should be a high fibre cereal and one bread, not both bread. Sorry for the confusion. As for the shape, i just meant that there are a few that are synned and should just be careful. The only muller light that is synned is the cherry.

My C told me that in order to loose those last few lbs you need to lower your syns. I think its okay to have a bar or a bag of crisps once and a while but to have them evey night is not advised. I could have a chinese within my syns every single night at 10PM and that would not help me loose...

If you are like me and HATE fruit (i really can't stand it) then i challenge you to do the same as me and force yourself to eat one bit of fruit a day, no matter how long it takes to eat it or what way you have to hide it (in a yogurt perhaps!) Lets see if we can get more fruit in our healthy...

I see! I deffo get the 1% one, never seen any others but the spicey one to be honest! I don't think they are very big here.

Is the chicken mug shot not 1%? If it is its free...not very knowledgable on mug shots so i dont know if there is a different chicken one ?

I would switch to extra eaxy for a few weeks honestly, the heb are carby and can bloat you up. Also stick to muller light not shape. The bachelors have some syns so i would stick to free ones and vary you dinner a little. More superfree veg needed, as fruit isn't always the best for weight loss!

I'm not very icecreamy thankfully. I love icepops so i can make them at home, but i haven't been bothered yet.

I saved it and uploaded it to photobucket then posted it here, but im sure there is an easier way!

It could do, the evening is the time you loose the least weight as your metabolic rate slows down. But as long as you keep it sensible and don't gorge 15syns of a choco bar and crisps at 10 every night i think you can loose. Try to find alternatives to your sweet tooth, mine for example is a cup...

I just freeze muller lights haha

Well done!

You are allowed up to 15syns so you can still loose, but i am the same. If i have an early dinner i am starving again, so i tend to try and have a late lunch so i'm not hungry at dinner time theni enjoy my meal at about 7 or 8 at night, this also gives me time to exercise in the evening. Could...

Wednesday 2nd May Breakfast: Missed Lunch: 1% Mug Shot Dinner: Free quorn Korma with mushrooms and onions. Served with 3 potatoes made into chips. Snack: Toffee Muller Light Thoughts: I feel fat today, but i know that i am not really eating enough veggies today. I am in a bit of a rut...

Oh dear! Well you can do all veggies boiled, and boiled potatoes or rice. Foreman to do your meats and stuff. As for chips im sure you could rustle them up in the foreman if you were REALLY struggling haha

Thats fabulous. But this is a different and more simple way to make it so bombarding my post with your own i felt was a little insulting.

There is a smaller actifry for about £80, a white one. It's brilliant, i really reccommend it.

Anything is possible Red! I don't have a target date in mind, not this time. I would like to get 10% by say august, but i am not making that a target. Whatever happens happens :)

Basically what you just said! Marinade the chicken breasts in tikka also so it gives that bit more flavour.

I had my own quorn korma and actifry chips, ddin't enjoy it at all should have gone with rice. Just wanted chips, haha. Totally wrong combination!

Great incentives people! Keep them in mind every time you feel down! I know i have only lost 8lbs but i felt confident today to leave my yard even though my horse was being a total wolly! A month ago i just would have felt too fat to do this :) I can't wait to be the weight i used to be wehn i...

Ah okay then, you don't need to worry about that then! Just try to not take on too much as your hormones will be up and down and i know that i went through a really bad week of blues and total anger for no reason when i started this diet again, so i assume it would be worse with baby hormones...

Congrats on your baby! start fresh, food diaries, superfree foods, three meals a day. Are you breastfeeding? There is a lot of info on here about that too.

All you can do is start again! Hopefully you have it out of your system now and can start fresh :) Everyone has a slip up now and then but its all about getting back on track :D

Mine is for the person who can't afford to or doesn't have the time to do that that's why I posted it. It's different to that one and frankly it's a little patronising that you posted that...

You just don't show up but i would be telling her that you don't feel she is giving you the support you need and you think you might be better somewhere else. Like my previous post says i didnt like my first one but i have found a lovely one now and i really feel like shes a friend and is there...

Perhaps the problem is your group. I found the first group i went to very happy clappy and the whole time was just spent reading out the losses and clapping. My new group though is brilliant. There is not that many that stay at my time so we all have gotten to know each other well and we don't...

Yeah, i went to a gym once and saw a few people from school and i felt so horrible i tried to stay out of the way so yes i agree with you there!

It will not work, yogurt is a lot more bitter in taste. you can try it but i don't think it will be very nice :(

I will try the separate sauce tonight and photo graph it, i personally don't mind it lumpy cause it adds more texture, but i know all people are different!

Just saw on Loose Women that apparently PE in school puts you off exercise later in life. What do you think? Personally, i was never good a PE because i was so unfit. I was never picked for teams cause i wasn't very popular and i was always last in the class. The only thing i was quite good at...

Thats brilliant thank you so much!

I make this a lot cause it is nice to me haha. It is basically the chicken tikka recipie but with korma and i don't do it exactly the same. Here is how i do it i'm only one person so i make enough for two and have it for lunch next day, double it all for more. I'm also a veggie so i use quorn...

Dunno sorry, i don't eat bread lol

Great incentives! Health is obviously a big thing too for me, i have terrible skin around my * time, but in generall my skin has gotten much better already. I have also stopped smoking (taking on a lot around exam time haha) so i feel so much better already and loosing weight will just put me on...

I stayed the same this week and im *. I was a little angry but this means i hopefully will have a good loss next week!

Just my observation but i think you are having too many carbs. Cereal everyday is full of carbs, try to vary your breakfast a little more.

My tip is save up for an actifry! It basically replaces 90% of all frying pan needs. I do everything in it, sausages, stirfry etc. I only use my pan for omlettes which i don't have that often.

To be honest the less weight you have to loose the harder it is to loose. You just need to focus on how you feel and try to not worry about the number on the scales so much.

My friend and i aim to work out at around 6/7 so i would usually have something light about 3 or 4 and then my main meal at 7 or 8 (late i know but it stops my midnight cravings!) so hopefully that will work out well.

Don't fret! As said, you havent had a real weigh in yet, so next week will be much better. You also haven't just started a diet so you won't get a dramatic weight loss at the start but just stick to it!

I'm happy to do it at anytime, when it's an option. But i just wondered what is the best time metabolically.

How much do you usually flucuate with TOM cause i haddn't lost any weight this week and i was TOM but had a good week despite not realising i was having 5 syns a day i didnt count, but i had no other syns haha. Could this have been the reason?

I intend to do this next time i get a 7'' pizza, keep forgetting in my excitement!

Never weigh yourself at home! That my first tip. Your scales will not be the same as SW scales. Mine and the Wii are about 3 to 4 lbs in difference. Secondly, can you link me to your diary? Ill have a look and see if i can find anything.

Mine is this: I'm ashamed to say that not long after this i had a bad fall and stopped riding for a long time due to pain. After the pain had gone i just couldn't bring myself to ride normally again. I would only do light riding and not leave my yard. This lead to me putting on a lot of weight...

I hope to be out of the 16s next Monday! Only 2.5 and i will be out of them for the first time in years!

Hi, what do you reckon is the best time to exercise? I normally feel like exercising in the evening after or during the cooking of dinner. But what is better? Before food, after food, morning, evening etc..

As already said, drink lots! I drink about a million cups of tea a day and it keeps me full. If you still feel hungry after eating, have a cup of tea it really fills you up!

I have never heard of dukan? Welcome though. SW is my favourite diet by far and it's not even a diet! It's a healthy eating lifestyle change :D

I do feel a bit sick with some things holly, i couldn't eat my treat last week cause it made me feel ill! I'm not a great choco fan and i'm not missing crisps or buiscuits (i like soft food) the only thing i really miss is pizza and chips, but when i can still have that once a week all-be-it on...

You will be subject to backfee if you skip today, so it won't be a holiday. Waste of a fiver if you ask me!

So sorry you are going through this. Try talking with your consultant and explain the situation and she will hopefully still be there for you and you can weigh in yourself at home. Good luck x

I hope so! I believe this time that it is a way of life, not a diet. This is a huge change for me as i normally count it as a diet. Monday is my treat night so if i want to go out to the cinema, i go on a monday. drinking is the biggest problem. I don't go out a lot but i like to have a drink...

Acti-fry - Cook mushrooms, onions, peppers and chicken pieces or quorn pieces with a bit of chilli for a spicy Mexican dinner without the chance of burning the frying pan!

The Old El Paso packet has 4.5 syns, i eat this quite a lot as i didnt know it had any syns! But now i know i won't eat it but i love fajitas (i eat it with rice not a tortilla) so i was wondering if anyone knew how to make my own free fajita spice mix?

My Pre would have been: Bfast - none Lunch - 4 egg omlette with cheese Dinner - Mashed spuds, quorn sausages and beans with cheese on Supper - Sandwich or cereal and crips or choco bar Every weekend i would have at least two take aways, pizza and chinese or indian

I have a few pets on the go: Unfortunately the black cat is missing now, for two weeks. He was old, so i think hes gone somewhere quiet.. :(

Honestly i don't think the strictness of WW would help you. I struggled with it and gave up after 3 weeks because i was literally so hungry i felt like crying. I have never been hungry on SW unless i wanted to be and that is because i have a lot more self control and i can eat as much as i like...

I was always told to use 10Syns max and i have that stuck in my head so i never go above it. 15 syns is a lot to me, and not necessary when you need to loose weight!

I have whatever i want really. Lastnight i had a pizza and chip. The kiddy meal deal one, so its a 7inch pizza. Yum!

The raffle lady is very important! How else would the numbers get done! :)

Stayed the same this week. Was not aware that spices sachets had syns in them!

Hi, i'm going to group. I just wouldn't be motivated at all at home. I am the weigher at group also *waits for hate mail:P* so that gives me a bit of incentive i suppose.

Hello, i have just joined MiniMins. I have been looking for a good forum about SW for ages and hopefully this is the one! I am currently on my 5th week and have lost 8lbs so far this time and about 10lbs from my biggest. I have done SW a lot of times and gave up but i'm taking it slow this...
