Does anyone know if Flat out wraps are still a hexb? Thanks!

Sts December week 2. I am completely fine with this! For a start I only got weighed on Thursday, plus I got my period on Saturday, AND I've gone to group straight from 12 hours at work, so to have sts I am very happy!

Thank you to whoever left me a rep comment :) I only just saw it, but I really appreciate it! :)

Oh goodness! So sorry for not updating last week - I had a super busy (and disappointing!) week last week and had a gain of 5lb for Nov week 4, but this week I've been unwell and I have had a loss of 8lb for Dec week 1! Woooo! Well done everyone for your good weeks and commiserations to all who...

I hope so! I can't work out any reason why I should have had a gain :( ah well, it is what it is.

One on for me week 3. *sigh*.

Well, despite my willpower I still somehow gained 1lb this week. I have been 100% on plan. Gods sake!

I'm just the same. I have to have nothing, because "moderation" got skipped in my internal dictionary. So far I have resisted the marzipan. I am cleaning my kitchen instead...

Hqhaha! I love marzipan. I really want to eat it. I did start telling myself I could have a little bit, but I know that a little bit will become a lot. And by then I'll just trough the lot.

My OH and I have had a few arguments recently, and I thought I'd do a nice thing and make him a lemon and marzipan bakewell tart as a peace offering. That's all well and good but now there is marzipan downstairs and I want to eat it. I have not stopped thinking about it since I got home with it...

I love pedantry. That's not sarcasm either; I am a shocking pedant at times and I really enjoy it in others. Apart from when it is directed at me of course. :)

I just want to say, I'm not going to be able yo get weighed this week until Saturday but it will be my this-week weigh in not my next-week weigh in!

5.5 off for me this week!!! Yaaaaaay!!!

Well done everyone who has lost so far this week, and to those who have gained, don't worry because it'll come straight off again! Just draw a line under it and don't beat yourselves up :) I haven't yet been able to go get weighed this week, I'm not going til Friday! Fingers crossed I get a good...

Well after an extremely naughty weekend, I had a 1lb gain yesterday, for week 5 (or week 1 of Nov). Back on track now though! Xx

Thanks Sheila for having run this one :) totally understand why you'd not want to do the next - I imagine it requires quite the time investment! :)

Also, the alcohol wasn't a temporary thing as I didn't have a particularly huge loss the following week either.

I had it as my hex b, and I drank huge amounts of drinks to make sure I was ok. I was pooing through the eye of a needle, and until I had the wine my home scales were saying a huge loss but I know better than to rely on those to be accurate. I want to know what other people's losses are, because...

Right, I know that a lot of people say on here that they are trying the scan bran challenge, but I've not once seen any results! So I was wondering if people would like to post their thoughts and/or results in here :) I'll start! I did the scan bran challenge the week before last. I had scan...

Woohooo! Congratulations Janet!!! X

Hi! If you find talking difficult, you could ask the SW counsellor for your group not to talk to you in group; that way you can still have that incentive of going and getting weighed, of listening to what others are doing, and seeing other people going through the same kinds of things that you...

25g is 5.5 syns, so the 80g bag would be 18 syns.

Don't be daft :) we all have down days and days where we can't see the point, I'm dreadful for it myself! Sometimes we all need reminding that we've done well, and having stuff put back into perspective for us. Hope things are looking a bit brighter for you now x

I did enjoy it you know, it took me to a whopping 3 syns over my allowance and I felt guilty as anything afterwards! How times change; it wasn't so long ago that I'd have eaten two and a packet of jelly sweets without batting an eyelid! I ate it in a similar way to that avatar and its chocolate...

Week 4 - 3lb for me, thanks!

3lb off this week - about ruddy time too! I think that makes 6.5 for October - not as good as I was hoping but its still best part of half a stone. Long may it continue!

Oof. Moment of truth... Let you know how I got on in about half an hour! I've been good all week again and have a millionaire's shortbread for when I get home because I am just so grumpy!!! Xx

Oh I know hun, I don't mean I'm disheartened cos of this, I'm a bit disheartened anyway, I dont know why I've sts and am looking like I'm going to do the same again this week... Its just dead disappointing, you know?

I am thinking about pulling out as I have to lose 4.5 by Monday for this... I had sts last week and so far my scales aren't showing me anything positive for this week either. I'm not going over my syns - once I did but I'd had so few for the rest of the week it should have evened out... I am...

Yeah... Sts this week :-/

This is what I get... Sts week 3 :(

:( I'd be dead grumpy about that!!!

That's so excellent! Well done you! In all honesty, tonight I have had a bottle and a half of wine and I have gone over my syns by miles! But like I said, tonight my priorities are having a normal evening with my loved ones. It can happen, you just need to acknowledge it as a part of your life...

Good god that was a wall of text! Sorry. I just was trying (probably unsuccessfully) to say that you just need to be a bit philosophical about it, and where your priorities are at that time. I don't mean that passive-aggressively either, I mean it quite literally. I had a time when my weight...

I want to second this. Very heartily! I have always revolved my social life around food/drink - I am one of those who demonstrates love with food. I have had to massively change that, and it is hard. In my first week on slimming world I went to a music festival, camped thursday-monday and was...

Ah, another pcos-haver! It truly is the pits isn't it. Have you ever spoken to the doctor about it? I was on metformin for ages but it never really made any difference for me. I have also tried spironolactone for the bloody hair everywhere but that was also a wasted effort. I would dearly love...

That's awesome!!! Congratulations and well done!!!

I'm not working yet but I am planning to start putting away £1 for every 1lb I lose, because I am aiming to eventually lose around 100lb, so it will be a nice little booster for some lovely retro dresses when I finally get there! I also have a list of treats for each half stone, so I don't...

If you want the ticker in your signature, you can get them here Weight Loss - Diet Ticker 9lbs in less than a month is excellent! You're doing brilliantly :) well done.

Without being too personal... Are you "staying regular"? I know that I sometimes get horribly constipated on SW, which seems ridiculously unlikely given the amount of vegetables I eat, but I know that the times that has happened to me it has slowed my losses and sometimes given me a temporary...

Oh god, shark week always affects my losses. I didn't gain this time but I certainly didn't lose anywhere near what I felt I should, given that I had stayed 100% on plan. I am trying out the scan bran challenge this week to see if it helps - according to the Wii fit it has made a big difference...

Well done! 4lbs is excellent! Don't get yourself down about it - you can definitely lose it! I'm in a similar boat; I started at 17 stone 2lbs, and I need to lose about 7 stone from that. At the moment I'm just aiming to lose 4, because that's how much I'd lost when I fell off the wagon and...

1.5 off for me please.

1.5 off for me please. To be honest I am a bit grumpy because it means I'm still 0.5 from my stone and a half award. Grr! I really bloody wanted that today!!!

Haha I do! I forgot to post here as I'd just posted in the October thread! 2lbs off for me this week! Xx

I make it 13 weigh-ins for Monday weighers, so I'm going to say 21lbs for me please, which gives me a bit of leeway for having Christmas dinner/day off!

2 off for me please this week - god knows how!!!

BUT! Did you do some nice things this week? Will it go again? Hopefully the answer to both is "yes" (I know for sure the answer to the second one is yes!) You're still doing well overall so just let last week go and carry on as if it never happened :)

So I'm not convinced I'll get anything today! I went to the Tweed Ride yesterday and caught a little caught up in the festivities! I only had one drink (4 points - it was a rum and diet coke), but my partner and I went for sushi afterwards and I thought I'd treat myself to dessert - after all...

Hi Tigz! Welcome to the forum :) how did you get on?

Yay! Thanks for this! Can you please put me down for 8lbs for October? Thanks! :D

Congratulations! I'm sure you can do it :) I don't know that I have entirely been doing success express, because I thought that was only green or red days? I just eat in ways I like, really... I like vegetables so I tend to eat a lot of them. I do t eat much in the way of fruit at all, cos I'm...

Thanks! To be honest, I don't really have much in the way of tips, I've just stuck 100% to plan. It was my first month, so I strongly doubt I'm going to replicate this sort of loss any other month :) I suppose I generally have more like 2/3 of a plate of superfree, rather than 1/3, but other...

I did it! I lost 17lbs in September and I got slimmer of the month in my group! Yaaaaaay!!!

Oh god I've completely forgotten to fill this in!!! Yesterday I had... An apple for breakfast and two HiFi light bars, lunch was some leftover pasta with tomatoes, peppers, jalapeños and pulled pork, and dinner was a chicken pie recipe that I found online - it was really good! Cook diced chicken...

Its 1 syn per level tablespoon.

Yup. Fish sauce is indeed free.

So, I'm not after sympathy or anything like that, I'm wondering if anyone else is similar to me and if so, how did you deal with this sort of nonsense? I have done really well in my first three weeks and I'm really thrilled with it, however I have managed to make it that I am actually terrified...

I really like the extra easy all-in-one book - lots of one pot recipes so if you aren't the sort of person who's happy with all hobs blazing you can get a good, fast dinner with little effort :)

Yeah, I want to second the alcohol thing. I can have 2 x125ml glasses of wine a week or two single spirits and not gain, but if I drink (and I mean *drink*, have a night out and get drunk with everyone else) then I sts or gain, even if I've been 100% on plan the rest of the time. I've found that...

Do you want to post a couple of days food diary on here so we can have a look at it for you? Maybe we can spot something you're not? When you say you weigh and measure everything... Are you eating enough? Ate you weighing and measuring and calorie counting? Because that's not how this diet...

That's amazing! What an incredible achievement, congratulations!

I got 2 off yesterday! Stone award in three weeks! Yaaay!

2lb off this week! I got my 1 stone award.

Thanks Janet! I'm just walking there now :S Sent from my Nexus 5 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah! Congratulations on club 10! How awesome!

I love "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe"! I quite liked another of her books, "Standing in the Rainbow". The author also played the school nurse in Grease.

Monday Breakfast I woke up late and had a couple of apples and 2x HiFi light bars (hexb) for breakfast/lunch, went to weigh in (lost 3lb that week), got home and had a bit of an "empty the fridge" tea - leftover roast chicken and mushrooms quickly before going out to the supermarket. Syns: 25g...

Ooh am I too late to join? If not, could you put me down for 16lbs please? My first WI was the first week of September and so far I've lost 12, my weigh in say is Monday and I'm hoping to get 2lb a week for the rest of September. :) thanks!

I hate... Doing the washing up Cleaning any room that isn't the kitchen An early shift after a late shift (nooooooo!) Forgetting headphones when I take public transport Ungrateful people 5 things you have achieved that you hadn't this time year.

I know that since I have moved in with my partner, my shopping bill has decreased slightly as I'm only buying stuff once, rather than at his and at mine, and his has decreased significantly. I spend about £75 a week on groceries, and then usually another £10 on bits I've run out of by the end of...

Honestly I think the woman is just horrible. She is inexplicably famous just for being bloody horrible to people, I don't think people should waste their energies or breath on her. She appears to be fuelled by spite. She probably won't struggle to lose it, because she has only just gained it...

I need to lose 2lb to get my first stone award, and 5lb to be under 16 stone... I'll be thrilled with 2lb but as much as possible towards getting under 16 is what I'm after! I'm so gutted that I'm doing all this again as this time two years ago I was about 14 stone by now and got to 13 stone 2...

Honestly, I think if someone reaches out, if you can then its only right to try to help. If I can ever be an ear then feel free to get in touch :) Chin up and don't let bitter and nasty people get the better of you because you've achieved so much, and that's sometimes too easy to lose sight of. X

Your loss is AMAZING! Well done! I can completely empathise with you, I lost 4.5 stone and was only couple of stone away from target, but I started really struggling with depression and, like you, started letting myself go here and there until I just stopped eating sensibly at all, lived off...

I completely feel you on this one. I hate anything that feels like exercise for the sake of exercise. I don't like running at all, twice I've signed up for 5ks (and done them, but slowly and with a lot of walking because I hate running with every fibre of my being). However I found that signing...

Do you live anywhere where you can go to one of those ones that prints you off a little receipt with your weight on? Might be good to have the receipts as a little thing to help keep track in lieu of a book and certificates?

Yes, I couldn't agree more with this! This is my second time around with SW; the first time I lost 4 stone and was thrilled! I then gained that 4st back over about 18 months and am now having to do it all again. But last time I certainly did have evenings off. I'd be careful to have good things...

Hmm, my 2014 directory says Iceland golden savoury rice and vegetables, 800g pack, frozen, excluding oil, 100g cooked 2ee, 6orig 2green. That's misleading. I wonder which is right...

Omg I love boudoir biscuits!!! Are they really only 1 each?! They would be 100% worth taking with me!!! Thanks for your advice :)

Honestly I really would not worry about that. I routinely eat 6+ pieces of fruit in a day. You're all good, I'm sure.

Well, today I had my hex b cereal, with 3 fresh figs and 1/4 of a honeydew melon and fat free natural yoghurt for breakfast. Lunch was an omelette made with 3 eggs, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and prawns, and baked beans. Dinner was cottage pie, made with 5% fat mince, onions, carrots...

Hey, why not post a food diary with what you're having, maybe someone can help to see if you've missed something that should be synned? Don't be disheartened, losing weight is HARD, especially if (like me) you're a comfort eater. Keep your chin up xxx

To be fair, this forum is unusual as most forums don't like people necroing old threads, or bumping their own, so this is unusual. I find the 20 and 50 posts restrictions are counterproductive as a lot of the time when you're looking for stuff it just tells you you can't, so I'd guess that a lot...

Buy Mr. Hugh's Spray Rapeseed Oil (200ml) online in Tesco at mySupermarket. I've never seen this one but it has fewer calories per 100ml than fry light... Crisp and dry spray has slightly more but only a small amount, and the flora one might be ok if its a similar type of spray to fry light...

We were told to stick with 10 Max for the first week so that if we made any "mistakes" with things that weren't free etc we had a bit of leeway, until she'd seen our diaries and was sure we were doing it ok.

Yeah, fruit and yoghurt wasn't really what I wanted but I was really short on time so it was all I had... Being insulin resistant means I get "crashes" in my blood sugar really easily, its a huge pain. I was fine for the whole ride, it was after we'd stopped for a bit and then went to ride the...

Excellent, thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it! :)

Well, just ribena, my OH does bike touring and really only uses vimto (but he's northern and I'm not, so I have ribena ;) ) I'd thought about having a HiFi bar when everyone else is troffing haribo but I really don't seem to fancy any kind of volume of food. I had fruit and yoghurt before I set...

Well done! Don't be disappointed, its half a pound that you hadn't lost last week, and half a pound a week is two stone over a year! My mum started slimming world about 6 weeks after I did (the first time, about 3 years ago) and she mostly lost 1/2lb - 1lb a week, and she went from a size 18...

So I've been cycling a long time but I've recently moved from an entirely flat part of the world to the top of a massive hill. I went on a longer bike ride the other day, and everyone else ate haribo about 2/3 of the way round to keep their blood sugar ok, and as I was on slimming world I said...

I found a link to her diaries, and it just told me that I wasn't allowed to look at it until I have 50 posts. Ah well, I will get there eventually! Thanks for your help though :)

Thanks for your replies :) I have searched, but unfortunately the only posts on here that mention it are from 2011. Is it 14g fibre per 100g? If so, it's well above that! I hope it is :) I don't think I can look at anyone's diaries or anything as I've only got 6 posts at the moment. Thanks...

Don't worry about it! I eat like a horse and I lost 9lbs in my first "week" (actually Monday thru the next Friday - 11 days) and 3lbs in my second (just Friday thru Monday - 3 days). I find that I can only very infrequently drink alcohol but that's definitely something that isn't true for...

Ah, brilliant! I did wonder about lamb mince when I've looked for it doing my shopping - I've only been on SW for two weeks so far, although I did do it for about 8 months a few years ago, my memory doesn't go back that far ;). That's good news about 16% fat for lamb mince, I was thinking how...

Sadly I think your only chance is to go to a butcher and have a lean cut of meat minced, unless you have a mincer at home. Tesco's mince says 20% on the front but if you read the nutrition info it says 15.9g fat in 100g (aka 15.9% fat). However I thought that mince had to be less than 5% fat...

Hi! I was wondering if you could help me, I'm a UK slimming world member, but my local supermarket (happily!) sells Kashi cereal, which frankly is my favourite cereal ever! As it has *really* high fibre and protein I am really hopeful that they will also qualify as healthy extras, would anyone...
