Half a pound loss for me this week, so 4.5 over two weeks. On holiday now so no lemons for a bit but will try again when I get home.

Half a pound loss for me today. When I lost 4lbs last week I said it didn't matter what I lost this week, but I was still hoping for a little bit more! Off on holiday now for 12 days so hope I don't do too much damage!

I've never had a gain on SW or WW due to TOTM, Although my losses are lower, so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Grilled chicken marinated in chilli, lemon and coriander, with spiced sweet potato wedges (from current SW mag) and mixed salad. Have learnt a valuable lesson, couldn't get ff creme fraiche for the dip to go with the wedges and thought low fat would be OK, but the dip has gone from 1 syn per...

I remember the first time I had Fish & Chips when I'd been doing WW for a while, it was gross! Felt so ill for ages!

Thanks for sharing this, I'm going to post it on our group's Facebook page.

Lemons, melons and grapefruit working well for me :) If you have the food optimising book from group speed and superspeed foods are indicated.

That's a shame, I rely on soup, I have it even when it's summer! Have you tried the tomato superspeed soup? 1 can of toms, 1 can of baked beans, 1 can of carrots, stock cube and a pickled onion (I'm sure that's everything). Blitz with a blender and then heat and season to taste.

I would certainly swap with you! The pasta sounds yum!

I would stick with it for another week also. The only comment I'd make is that you don't seem to have had any superfree with your breakfast on days 2 and 3 and maybe you could try something different for your HEb than bread. Good luck for this week.

This is a great idea, glad to hear it's working in your group. I've often thought about when it comes to soup which would be quite easy to share, but I worry that no one would like my soup!!! Also we have a dog and I'd be horrified if a hair turned up in their portion (I do keep my kitchen very...

I originally thought I'd go for 10.12 as my target (got to 10.13 on WW) but I'm now thinking about 10.10 on the same premise that 3lb up would still keep me under the 11 stone mark.

Yeah, well done!

I thought I'd get SOTW with my loss, but was beaten by a guy who had lost 6lbs in his second week. Previous week SOTW won with a 2lb loss!

So I lost 4lbs at WI last night :D. I've had reasonable losses previous so may not all be down to the lemons, but thanks to the OP :D for the suggestion. I would think I've had about 10 or so over the last week. I'm going to make lemonade today to enjoy in this lovely weather.

4lb off for me today, so chuffed :D Got my one stone award aswell :)

I have a normal breakfast and lunch plus mid morning and afternoon snacks (fruit). Last couple of weeks I had a mugshot about 5pm (my WI is at 7.30pm, but the meeting doesn't finish til 9pm so have a light bite when I get home). What I don't intend to do tomorrow (WI day) is have 2 large glasses...

I feel a bit in the dark about green and red days. My consultant has only ever explained EE so have stuck to that (although I had figured out I was having a green day once and so had some extra cheese!) I guess you would have to do a whole week on green and then a whole week on red to work out...

I WI on Tuesdays so don't have much time for salvaging weekend mistakes either, but that actually helps me keep in check more :) Good luck with the plan and free-ing yourself from counting.

If you've managed to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle I would think very hard before giving it up. Apart from a daily energetic dog walk I don't manage much more but wish I could. I think trying a different SW plan might be the way to go, or perhaps try 50/50 for a week - eat 50%...

I can't drink it without sweetener!

I've just made this but as I'm not huge on beaked beans I used cannellini instead and a jar of passata. Also didn't have any pickled onions so caramelised some onions in balsamic vinegar first. Not bad!

Going to try this. Got my ice cream maker yesterday and made some with , yum! Not a fan of Muller Light but going to try them with quark.

Thank you, am very excited:) holiday clothes are proving a problem though as I'm in between sizes. Have two pairs of shorts that fit so think I'll be alternating between the 2 for the duration!

I am losing weight slower on SW than I did with WW and to start with was a bit disheartened as I didn't see the big losses that I thought I would get, but I've gotten over that now and am steadily working towards my target. 2lb a week is brilliant, that's the recommended average - think of...

Agree, there's no need to be starving! Maybe try having a bowl of superfree/free soup as a starter to your lunch/dinner.

I had lime (also superspeed) in hot water today which I preferred, hope it has the same effect. Haven't been adding the peel, shall do that with my next cuppa :)

Thanks for checking, yes I do, the big pot of strawberry is 5.5 syns, I think I had about a third earlier for my pud. I counted it as 2.5 syns to be safe :)

Well it arrived today, put the bowl straight in the freezer and got some Onken strawberry fat free yoghurt whilst shopping. Took 20 mins to churn and hey presto. My girls weren't too keen, but that's fine more for me! I've only had a small taste for now, going to have some with fresh...

If you don't think of them as a replacement for meat sausages, then they are!

Lemons are a superspeed food, so it makes sense. Thanks for sharing, have been feeling bloated so going to give this a go.

Baked beans & jacket potatoes. Definitely lots of tinned toms, can't believe how many I'm getting through!

Not sure if this has already been posted. Linda McCartney Italian sausages (0.5 syncs each) are £1 for a pack of 6 in Tesco.

And my consultant said you could have syn free yogurts as a snack, without synning them!!! Thanks for all your replies, going to give it a go with what you've told me once I've replenished the fruit bowl.

Thanks, that's what I thought about the ham. I wasn't given a leaflet, so just going by what's on here and what my consultant has said.

Spoke to my consultant last night and the only thing she's now confused me about is that she said I couldn't have ham, as an example, as a snack even if it's synned. So I asked when I would actually eat my syns (the meal being 2/3 superfree, 1/3 free), and she shrugged said that's a good point...

1lb off for me. I know it's a loss but I am disappointed, I've been 100% on plan (even syned some crisps I took off DD!) averaged about 7.5 syns per day, lots of water and I dog walk every day. Hopefully it will show up next week.

OK, so I was being slightly tongue in cheek there, but of course it hasn't come across like that and I'm sorry if it was misleading. I actually weigh the carbs I have with my meals (rice and pasta) and never have more than 60 - 75g, the recommended weight on the packet.

Thanks for the link, going to ask my consultant about this tonight. Go on holiday in 2 weeks and would really like to lose 5lbs before then and think this might be the answer.

Can I say that I agree for some people, but not for me personally. That's not how my motivation works. I've missed one wi since I joined SW, it was the week after Easter and I knew that I had put on weight. A recorded gain on my chart completely demotivates me, I know this from experience. I...

I have about 7 or 8 portions of fruit and veg a day to get to my one third super free per meal, then probably two more portions of fruit as snacks. Means I can have bigger portions then!

Have just bought the Andrew James one on amazon, £27.90 inc delivery, listed as a which best buy. Have read through all the posts and looking forward to try it all out.

I lost 5 pounds one night in my sleep!!

Hi, you don't say how old your son is. I was diagnosed with post natal depression when my 2nd daughter was 6 months old. I ate through my depression but thankfully got some help through my GP. I hope your GP is sympathetic and you start to see a clear way ahead x

There's a different one in tomorrow's paper and then a third one on monday

Think I got these from Tesco's. Have had the rosemary and onion ones that are syn free from Sainsburys.

I use a tspn of cornflour - 1 syn I think. Put it in a bowl with a little bit of your cooking juices, mix to a paste and then pour in. Something else I do is take the lid off the slow cooker for the last 30 mins or so, this seems to help evaporate some liquid. HTH

Well done, hope to be there soon!

Thanks for the replies. The sausages I had were Italian flavour, so half a syn each. The onion gravy was syn free :)

I think you probably will! You'll probably be counting in your sleep!

Thanks for confirming, will look forward to the cheese!

Hi, have only followed EE up to now, but it's just occurred to me that I might be having a green day and would like your input Breakfast - shreddies (heb), milk (hea), melon Lunch - veg soup with borlotti beans and mini pasta Tea - Linda McCartney sausages, mash, veg and onion gravy Snacked on...

Hi Annie In principal it should be easy to maintain on WW, you just up your daily points allowance. However I found that after awhile I got fed up with point counting, I wanted to stop having to think about food all the time and just lost control a bit. To put it into perspective I lost 3.5st...

Yes, that's the one I use. Have just made another batch to have tonight, yum yum yum.

Fingers crossed for you x

Going to try that at the weekend

But don't all those steps count towards exercise :lol:! I weigh almost very time I go to the loo also! I am a serial weighed. My consultant tells me off, but so far it's not held me back from my weight loss

I had the chilli and garlic which I thought we're OK (can't say they're lovely compared to full fat ones :)!) I also had the chipolatas which I didn't like at all. They work really well in a casserole, did mine in the slow cooker with toms and veg. Also great with lots of syn free onion gravy...

10lb lost in 7weeks (may have been more if it hadn't been for Easter and may day BH!!) going to try and lose 2lb a week for the next couple of weeks before I go to Florida at the end of the month. Thanks for all the encouragement. Good luck to you all also.

1.5 for me this week. Going to try for 3 next week, have a clear week so being focused.

Thanks, I think I do prefer SW, certainly for the day to day, however I found WW easier when I was away for the weekend or planning a big night out.i think SW will be easier to maintain in the long run.

Hello there, I'm new to SW (converted from WW). Am in to my 6th week and I have to say it's a bit slow (Easter and May Day BH not helping!!) although I have lost 8.5lbs so reasonably happy with that. Am hoping to shift a bit more before a big holiday to Florida in less than 4 weeks, and then...

Hello there. I'm a newbie to slimming world and have been going for 6 weeks now. Have done WW really successfull in the past (losing 3.5 stone) but struggled to use WW to maintain. So for a change am trying SW to lose 1.5 stones or thereabouts. Not sure which diet I prefer at the moment!

Joining in here, have left the 12s, working my way to the 10s now. Hopefully planning on getting close before my holiday in 3.5 weeks and then really focus on it when I get back.

Have got this in the slow cooker also, thanks for posting looks great. I've added peppers and lentils for now.mlooking forward to it later.
