Good luck Sarah! Hope it works out ok!

Thank you everyone! I am pretty chuffed! I think the key was in the planning, working out what I'm going to do for dinner the week ahead and sticking to it there or thereabouts. I found it handy to know exactly how many syns I had left for the week after I'd planned what I was going to have to...

Hi Everyone! So happy I've lost 3.5lbs on my first week of going it alone! When I first did SW I lost 1.5lbs in my first week so I'm really chuffed! It just goes to show you can do it with or without group in the right mindset. I must say you've all been a great support though. Thankyou...

I agree with you, I think they are missing a trick. The lemon bars and the choc orange were my fav, i miss them!

Beef stir fry!

My weeks been a bit up and down but I'm really happy that I've curbed my wine habit! Would love a glass of wine when I got home from work but haven't bothered this week so I can have q few on the weekend. Havent missed it! Hope the scales are kind to me. Have had a few sneaky treats this week...

You've done really well to organise yourself there. That's what I've done this week, I've found it much easier. Feel free to download this if it helps. A lot of people on here have said it has. Just stick to it, don't dwell on the gain, the past is the past, look to the future :)

Sounds like you're having a rough time. I was going great guns with SW last year until I had some problems of my own and the whole diet took a bad seat. I haven't beaten myself up about it though like I would have before I discovered SW. Now I'm strong enough to concentrate on losing weight...

I did the diet coke chicken lastnight it was lush! Totally different to what I expected, will definitely do it again! The OH loved it too!

Book worm

My consultant used to say there'd been a gain but never mentioned what it was. I haven't been since December so don't know if it's changed. She was very keen to make sure people didn't feel bad or guilty about it though

That all sounds lush! lol! What's the chocolate philly like? It wasn't around when I was a SW member, is it a healthy extra then?

Ahhh right, I had a small pot in my mind lol! Makes a little more sense I suppose but still.

chilli chicken and sticky rice :)

Thats awesome! Yeah they are brilliant, so handy. I use them for everything!

Haha! I need to take more notice of the people leaving the bus when I'm getting on I think! I was careful getting on the bus this morning lol! It would be my luck for it to happen again!

Why didn't I think of that? haha! brilliant! I'd probably be accused of peeing myself then! Actually thinking about it I hope theres not a noticeable wet patch on my trousers from when I sat in it when I get up to walk to the front of the bus! Ah bugger it!!

HATE THE BUSSSSS!!! Just got on it and I have over an hour to travel home, sat on a seat that is SOAKING wet. I hope it's water :sigh2: The bus is busy and I'm sat at the back with my netbook minding my own business but Im getting stinking looks now because I'm not "moving up" onto the wet bit...

No problem! Glad to help :)

Good luck! It is a brilliant plan, so much more realistic than anything else Ive tried! Thankyou for the welcome Funky :)

11 Syns is mental for a yoghurt!!!

I'm still getting over the fact SW Chips are free!! :eek: Love them! Having them tonight :)

For any of you that want to use my electronic food diary/weekly plan feel free to download it, I've had lots of requests for it!

It sounds like too much like hard work to me to work anything like that out in my head! lol! I know what you mean though. When I went to group it dawned on me but everyone is in the same boat an so supportive I wouldn't worry about it but thats easy for me to say! At the end of the day, if...

File Ooo there we go! I didn't realise I could attach files to a reply. Still getting used to the forum lol! Hope it works for you :)

Anyone who wants the spreadsheet can now download it directly from my blog. :D

Coca cola chicken!

Haha! Thanks for that! I can't wait to try them. They look awesome! I'm doing the coca cola chicken tonight for the first time. I'm intrigued!

Same here, I'm such a nerd lol, I can be a gamer without sitting on my arse! result!

Really near! Small world!

Does it taste like smash at all? I really want to try this but OH hates smash!

The Tesco light choices pork sausages are 1 syn each, I quite like them.

Another Welshie here, Llantrisant

You certainly may! Did you email me? I did get an email from someone for a copy but I haven't got it here on my netbook will send it when I get home from work :)

lovely ideas here! I'm really hungry now! LOL!

I love the Wii fit. Going to start using it again this week. When I did it before I tended to warm up for 10 mins on the Wii Fit, then do some Dance or EA Active 2 for more intensity. I used to do 20-30 mins once or twice a week and up to an hour on a Sunday if I felt like it. They key is not...

Are there any fellow Musos? I'm a singer but haven't done anything professional in a while due to work and being ill. Miss it so much! I have covers on my youtube link if anyone wants a listen :-)

Good idea's for lunch when at work. Anyone have any good tips or yummy easy ideas for lunch when on the go? thankfully I have a microwave at work so I have pasta in sauce some days and chicken salad prepared the night before on others. I also love uncle bens risotto rice, even though its a...

I wish I could buy Hi Fi bars somewhere. Is there anyway you can buy them without being a member?

Thankyou so much both! Yeah you're right there, Jezzi I'm sure a lot of effects are psychological. I know some medicines are renowned for weight gain so I thought I'd check this out. I feel a lot more confident now that you've both commented these positives. Onwards and upwards! (Well downwards...

hello all! I'm starting today, love this site so far, what a great support group! Good luck to all and nice to meet you! xx

I've never tried Scan Bran! I have my moments with bread. I can go ages without it then suddenly have a craving. I find it easy to use A's because I like cheese and milk in coffee (cheese on it's own, not in the coffee haha) I find the B's a pain, especially now I've started red and green days...

Is anyone on Citalopram? I've been on this for a few months and I'm hoping it doesn't affect my weight loss too much.

Jacket potato, Corn on the cob and salmon with extra light mayo. Nom.

Well done Laura! What an amazing loss! I dunno if I'll get anywhere near that! What an inspiration though :-o

Ahh sorry I thought Exante was another name for the forum I'd missed haha! Brain fail! Good luck with it! Yeah I like that about SW what you can count things so you're not restricted. I've done some meal replacement diets before, I find they can be effective and handy when you're busy in the...

What are everyone's favourite Hex's? I miss Hi Fi bars now I'm not at Group! I do like the All Bran Golden Crunch!

cooked breakfast (had to be food!)

Hello! I'm new here too and it's my first day today! What diet are you following if any? I'm doing slimming world from home. I remember when I did it last year for the first time I lost about 3lb the first week. It can vary greatly though. Any loss is a good loss tbh on your first week! My...

Thanks Kate! I'm terrible with paper (and mental maths haha) so this is really handy for me. It's frustrating I've got a lot of people interested in having it sent to them but I cant receive PM's yet. going to have to post like mad lol! In the mean time, if anyone wants it email me at...

Nom Nom! Sounds lovely. good luck!

It looks like I can't post links either being a newbie. email me at vixyj2007@ hotmail.com and i'll email it to you. I start today! Jacket potato and corn on the cob tonight :)

Welcome Kate! I did notice the thread after I'd made this, its a great boost to know so many people are having success doing the plan from home! I have made a plan for the week now, Finn. I put it on a spreadsheet and it calculates how many spare syns I have left after my plan, I can send it to...

I'm starting this from tomorrow! I used to do it Monday-Sunday before so I thought I'd spend a few days preparing then going for it full force from next week. I used to go to the groups last year but really cant afford to go back. I've bought the food directories etc and I've made a spreadsheet...

I've posted a link to them but it's being approved. If you want you can click my link to Facebook and message me your email there, Also what version of Excel do you have? I'll make sure its compatible then :)

I'm starting my plan from home from tomorrow and I'm going to start planning my meals. I've made a spreadsheet that I'm going to write the Syns I would be using with my plan and it calculated how many I have left to spend for the week. If anyone would like a copy, let me know and I'll email it...

Thanks for the wonderful welcome all! Starting officially Monday, will let you all know how I get on. Well done for the losses this week! :-)

Thanks for the welcome both! You are right, Finn. I need to plan, that's something I haven't been doing and I think it will help me a lot! I'm officially starting from Monday, but have been breaking into a pattern gently this week and getting used to it again. Thanks for the support and good...

I'm new here, and I'm planning exactly the same. I've downloaded the up to date starter pack, printed my own fit and food logs (on a4 cos the a5 ones are way too small!) and bought the food directory on eBay. I've joined here to make this my support group and totally think it's possible! I love...

Hello all! This is a bit scary I haven't joined a forum for years! I don't know what the hell I'm doing lol! Anyway, I joined Slimming world this time last year. Absolutely loved it, I think its such a good plan. I got Ill around the end of the year for a few months and put the slimming on the...
