Morrisons Eat Smart mini garlic baguette are lovely and only 5pp each.

I was looking through some magazines the other day and came accross one of them taste test things on low fat cheese, it didnt list the syns as they were all classed as a healthy a but there was some suprising results. Marks and Spencers half fat came out top and I think the Bishops one from Aldi...

does anyone know if three of these are a healthy extra please?

I made a peach and blueberry cobbler with an amaretti biscuit topping and custard the other day out of a recent mag and it was seriously to die for and it was 7 1/2 syns. I'd eat it even if I wasnt on a diet!

Hi Krupskaya, could you tell me how many syns the tesco reduced fat hoummos is please?

Hi, my sister did CD for 8 months and didnt get weighed at all by her CDC. She did weigh herself at home though, it was the thought of someone else knowing she couldnt handle. The CDC was fine about it and my sister lost nearly seven stone, got to a size 12 and has maintained since xmas.

Hi Maybe Baby. I experience something similar to this and it makes a difference which bottled water I drink. With some I get a burning sensation and it repeats on me with a strange bleachy taste, its horrible and can make me feel like giving up. At the moment I'm drinking Evian and am having no...

Hi everyone, could someone advise which cous cous to get from Asda that is free on the plan please. Going out to pick my son up in 10 mins and fancy getting some for my lunch tomorrow. Thanks in advance. Sue

Thats great! Thanks for the info qualitybrittany.

Hi, what about the meatballs, are those free? I hope so, I want to try spaghetti and meatballs this week. Thanks.

Hi All, Have any of you who are on SW switched over from Cambridge? If so, what was the first week like re weight, did you gain? Would be very interested in any experiences you'd like to share. Thanks, Sue.

Thats great Taz thanks.

I'd kill for a biscuit right now! Don't suppose you have a recipe do you? Also just to check, am I using the right linseeds with the golden ones? I was suprised at how expensive they were. Sue.x

Could anyone tell me what flaxseed bread should look like please? I,ve just followed the recipe and its just come out of the oven, but it doesnt look like any bread I've ever seen!! Its only about an inch thick, is this right. I sure hope it tastes better than it looks! Sue.x

I'm very new to this forum but thought I'd share what I had for my lunch today. I was having mackerel and salad leaves but am not a big fan of traditional lettuce like iceberg etc. and find things like rocket very bitter. Whilst browsing in M&S for low carb options I saw a bag of pea shoots in...

Ive just had a lamb shank with some homemade cauliflower cheese, made with double cream, mustard and lots of cheese. Also I had some swede mashed with butter. It all seemed too delicious to be true and I feel like I've put lots of weight on. Sorry for all the questions, but is there a limit to...

Hi Sun. I did contemplate doing the 810 plan but the very plain food just didn't appeal to me. I looked at the chicken on the plate and thought if I was on Atkins I could have cheese and bacon with that!! I am a little bit confused as to how much salad and veg I can have. Am I correct in...

Hi Everyone. I've got a bit of a conundrum I was hoping someone could help me with. I've been doing CD for almost 3 months and lost nearly 3 stone but have struggled with it to the point of giving up on it. I started on a cycle of binge eating and lost something ridiculous like half a pound in a...

It reminds me of the time there was that picture of Fern Britton at her fattest in a bikini and she said she was "a comfortable" size 16!!!! I was a size 20 and not half her size.

Is it possible to have semi skimmed and just have less? Or maybe the 1% stuff they do in Sainsburys. I'm starting 810 myself and would love to go back to drinking a proper cup of tea but I can't be doing with the fully skimmed stuff. Sue.x

Hi there. I'm certainly no expert but I believe the peanut and the cranberry bars have not got many more carbs in than the shakes, it's the fudgey type ones that are higher. Please someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Sue.x

Do you have another one local to you? Chances are if you're not happy with her at this stage of the game, you probably won't ever be!

My losses have never been huge either, probably one of the reasons I can't sustain it. I would love to lose another stone before I go on holiday at the end of August, even half a stone would help so 3 a week would be great, but I could live with 2. My biggest fear is losing control completley...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. What are your losses like compared to SSing Penny? I'll do a search for your post on 810, thanks. Thanks for your offer to post a booklet out Beverley, but if its really that simple theres no need to put you to the trouble! One more question (for now anyway )...

Hi everyone. Well after weeks of SSing and bingeing and SSing and bingeing I've finally accepted that SSing is no longer for me. It's a wonderful diet if you can 100% and its seen me wave goodbye to almost 3 stone, which I'm hugely thankful for. Unfortunatley over the past 2 weeks I've struggled...

The mix a mousse isn't suitable for vegetarians, sorry, but you can use supercook vegetarian gelatine, my CDC checked with head office for my friend.

Im in the same position as you this week, weighed in and only lost 2lbs, despite sticking to it 100%. I was gutted and have spent the last 2 days stuffing my face, so that'll be the 2lbs back on plus some more. Makes last week an even bigger waste of time doesn't it? Result is I am disgusted at...

Once again, thanks everyone for your support and helpful replies, if only I'd logged on at tea time...... Decided last night that I was gonna pull myself out of it and get straight back on it this morning. I started with black coffee and 2 litres of water through the morning. I kept myself busy...

I agree Klee, 2lbs off is deffo better than 2lbs on, I just think its a lot of money and hard work for the small return!

You're a great help Becky! I'm looking for a magic wand, thats the trouble! My BMI was 29 last week. I think I probably need to lose another 2 stone and I'm going on holiday at the end of August and wanted to feel ok in my cossie by then. Now I'm scared I've peaked too soon and I'm gonna pile it...

Thanks so much for all your replies, once again this site is giving me the support that friends and family can't, as they simply don't understand. I'm not sure exactley how much I still need to lose as I've never had an end goal, I've just been getting through each week. I'm 5ft 1 and today at...

Hi, I mix the fibre powder in with the shake powder, then make it up as normal. I don't get any lumps in it this way and get it down without realising I'm having it. Sue.x

Hi Nicky. I know I sound really negative, but these are both diets I've tried in the past, not very successfully. My first week at ww I lost half a pound and at sw I lost 1lb! I did them 100%, so don't think these are the ones for me. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Hi everyone. This is only my second post but I've been lurking for weeks and would like to say a big thankyou to you all as this site has kept me sane and SSing on many a dark day! A bit of background before I tell you my predicament. I've been SSing since 24th April and have lost 2st 9lbs. I...

Hi Chunky, I'm not a CDC. I've been on either Lipotrim or Cambridge for 9 weeks and don't feel full of energy either. I'm dizzy almost to the point of passing out sometimes and my periods are all over the place. I'm always bang on 28 days but this last time was 6 days late and had really awful...
