Had a weekend at friends this week. I tried to be good but a lot of food was out of my control. Carried on with lemon though and lost 2 1/2lb at wi this morn! I'd only lost 7lb from Jan to May but in last 3 weeks on lemon I've lost another 7lb! It seems to be speeding it up for me! Yay!! Sent...

So proud of myself! Away at a hotel and resisted the pastries and fry up and had fresh fruit and 2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk. Would never have managed to resist in the past! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

The sauce is made using honey, chilli, 5 spice, soy and balsamic vinegar. The duck is dry fried until almost cooked, the fat drained and then the sauce added. It's then cooked for a couple more minutes turning the duck over to make it all sticky. The skin is removed before its served. The veg...

I lost 1.5lb this week when I expected a gain due to some meals being out of my control...can only put it down to the lemon. I've been having 1 lemon a day squeezed in water. However, I just made a lovely discovery...asda diet pink lemonade. It contains real lemon and raspberry juice and...

Just managed to get from the 12s to the 11s on Monday...now weigh 11st 12.5lb. Desperate to get into the 10s for my 30th in Sept and need as much support as I can get. I was in a car accident in Jan and injured my back (only started walking without crutches 3 weeks ago) but I started SW online...

Got it...looks fab thanks :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi the recipe is below but I never completely stick to a recipe so I've also included my alterations. To the recipe I also add 1tsp paprika and I heap the ground coriander. I add a chicken stock cube to my hot water. I don't grill the chicken and adjust the cooking time to ensure its cooked...

I have one of those too!! It's even more annoying when he runs out of snickers and raids my curly wurlys!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

They're not very big but with there being 2 fingers I feel I can make them last longer. I have to be honest and say that they're not the first thing I go too. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I have a treat box which is separate from my hubby's and 2 yr olds (takes away the temptation of their stuff!!) and I fill it with things less than 6 syns so even if I have a couple I'm within my Syns. Have in it funsize choc (mars variety range from 3.5 to 5 syns), mini party rings 5.5, mini...

I kind of made it up but I think it's lovely and my hubby agrees. I sweat some chopped mushrooms and shallots in a pan with fry light. I make up about 1/2 pint beef stock using beef oxo, pour in pan and bring to boil. I leave on a high simmer until the liquid has substantially reduced. I then...

Yes it was lovely. I had it as a Victoria sponge and put reduced sugar strawberry jam between the layers which took the syn value to 4 for whole cake. The texture of it is more like a souffle than a cake but tastes yummy. My husband said he wouldn't have known it was a diet dessert :-) Sent...

Cold tandoori chicken and bombay potatoes with a cucumber raita and a salad. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yep I need to start thinking about it more, especially as you can't beat the taste of produce in season. Maybe I should start a kitty and put all the money I save on my shopping into it. When I reach target I could use it to go on a huge shopping spree for some new clothes and shoes :-) Sent...

Yes NAS squash is free. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

You're right. I'm one of those that falls into the out of season trap. I'm in the lucky position that I can just add to my trolley and not think about it but I appreciate a lot of people can't. A girl that helps look after my daughter (I have a back injury at moment, not super lazy) :-)...

Just to add that they were absolutely delicious and my hubby has requested a 2nd batch! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I know exactly what you mean. I can't believe the level my food bill is now running at. I don't really have a direct comparison as I've always eaten a lot of fruit, veg and good cuts of meat. However, my mum has started SW as the dr has told her if she doesn't lose weight she will be immobile...

I made these little quiches for my picnic yesterday. They were delicious and went down a treat with my 2 year old! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I think it's great that you have something to keep you motivated! My 'lightbulb' moment was when I tried a dress on for a party and couldn't zip it up. I'm sure most people experience this but I'd previously worn the dress for a wedding 3 years ago when I was 6 months pregnant, and trust me I...

Thanks everyone, I feel really bolstered by all your comments. I went for a picnic yesterday and before reading the responses was going to eat what I liked. Instead I packed a SW picnic with mini SW quiche, pasta salad, potato salad and homemade scotch eggs. Thanks again and hopefully it will...

I'm doing SW online so have no consultant to speak too. The weight has been coming off REALLY slowly but I had been putting that down to the fact i cant get about due to a recent car accident. However, after reading this forum I found that it shouldn't matter if I followed the plan and I...

What a great idea...I hadn't thought of that. I'm on my second cup of the day but it would be much nicer in some squash. I'll do that for my 3rd lot.

Creme fraiche does have syns it depends on brand and fat how many. Basic full fat is 2 syns for 1 tbsp, basic 1/2 fat is 1.5 syns for tbsp, weight watchers is 0.5 syns for tbsp. I'm having salmon, baked potato with 2 tbsp weight watchers creme fraiche (1 syn), broccoli, cauliflower and...

I felt exactly like you did last year. I felt like I couldn't stick to the diet and had binge days where I ate ridiculous amounts of chocolate. I came off the diet and put on much more than I lost and I was only 10lb off target. I'm now in the position where I'm seriously unhappy with my...

Hmmm very confused now! I worked Jaffa cakes out based on 100g value and a 24g serving (which is the weight of the pod) and came to 4.5. If you work it out per cake it comes to 1.5 per cake and there's 6! Which one should I use! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

You could try finely grating the peel into something...if you're having a curry for example. There's probably loads of ways you could get lemon into meals. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just to clarify that I'm going off what I've heard here and don't know how much is true! The secret apparently lies in the "acidity" content in a lemon. Lemons are rich in citric acid; the citric acid, from lemons, supposedly end up interacting with the other acids and enzymes in your digestive...

Oh no but at least you're within your syns for the day. It's the Weight Watchers hot choc, It's really nice and chocolatey. I agree that options is a bit watery. I'm terrible at this time. I don't know what it is that makes me crave sweet things so much in the evenings! Sent from my iPhone...
